Chapter 922: Chapter 286: Thorny Snake Corps, Cage, Jar_2

And these new pieces of knowledge were but bricks and mortar added to his understanding of the “world”.

Previously, Noah Wright had said that “I am the world” was not only a Demon God Secret Skill but also the ultimate path to forming a “Domain”.

As long as one’s understanding of the world was sufficient, one would be able to continue on this path indefinitely.

However, Leonard Churchill’s situation was slightly different from Noah Wright’s.

He was not exclusively practicing a single transcendental path, but rather the Myriad Manifestations.

And for such “Manifestations,” a stable and solid foundation was required.

“I am the world” was more than fitting for that purpose.

As he became more proficient in this secret skill, he gradually discovered that almost everything he learned could be integrated into it.

And as his comprehension deepened, Leonard Churchill also began to realize that he seemed to have found a unique path of his own.

….

Atop the ruins, Leonard Churchill stood on guard.

While he practiced, another scene floated into his mind.

In the nearby shadows, he saw the captains of the vanguard team next to the campfire, holding an executive meeting.

At the moment, Kuro, the deputy legion commander, was holding a conch-shaped instrument and babbling something.

The Ariel Empire indeed had communicators as well.

Purely Magical Power equipment.

The “Kindle Fire” that went to the Southern Continent three thousand years ago had indeed inherited almost everything from the Card Master Civilization, but it had not kept any mechanical technology.

It was said to be because Great Dragons symbolized “strength,” and mechanical technology was considered blasphemy against strength, heretical.

For thousands of years, the Holy Church had forbidden the development of machinery, leading to its complete decline.

Therefore, one could not see any Mechanical equipment on these people.

The words spoken by Kuro, the deputy legion commander, carried a beast-like authority in their sound.

It was not Taron Language, but “Simplified Dragon Language”.

Great Dragons, like Superior Demons, were high-ranking species, and Dragon Language, similar to the Ancient Demon Language, possessed magical power.

After all, the Ariel Empire was a land where Great Dragons ruled; hence, the Noble Class there had their own language—the “Simplified Dragon Language”.

In the army, only high-ranking officers were entitled to master it.

It was not just a matter of status.

It was also about Law Understanding.

Just as there were thresholds for reading the Demon’s language, the same was true for Dragon Language.

If one’s strength was insufficient, even speaking was impossible.

Moreover, due to the natural Elemental Affinity of the Dragon Bloodline, over the past several thousand years, Card Masters had also innovated and created a series of unique and powerful Dragon Language Spells and a Card System.

This was also what Leonard Churchill had been studying all this time.

After several days of eavesdropping, he had not completely understood the Simplified Dragon Language, but by guessing and deducing, he had roughly figured out the content of the communication: Today at six o’clock, the great army will arrive.

“They’re finally coming…”

Leonard Churchill narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself.

These days, while their team seemed to be evading in the east and hiding in the west, in truth, they were scouting and marking trails for the following grand army.

A few days ago, when the Sixth Tier deputy legion commander arrived, Leonard Churchill had guessed this outcome.

After all, their current location was near Gold-digging Dock; to some extent, it was because Leonard Churchill had intentionally guided them there.

At the same time, several vanguard teams were scouting the routes; whichever was “safest,” the grand army would likely choose as the best option.

Catherine Carter was fully aware of the location of Leonard Churchill’s team all along, and the defenses were naturally deliberately avoided.

So it was almost as expected.

The grand army would choose their route.

Based on the intelligence obtained, it would be the “Thorny Snake Corps” from the Red Dragon Kingdom arriving.

It seemed that they were planning to make a swift attack on Gold-digging Dock, then break directly through Sinless City to see if they could capture the Federation in one fell swoop.

Such military intelligence was highly confidential, and ordinarily, a mere soldier would not be privileged to know such important matters.

Unfortunately for them, the team had Leonard Churchill, a spy.

Upon hearing this, he passed the intelligence along.

What they would do with it, whether the intelligence was accurate or not, he cared little.

Catherine Carter’s wisdom was more than enough for her to make the best response.

And she wouldn’t let her spy be exposed.

After passing on the message, Leonard Churchill continued with his Meditation practice.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was six o’clock in the evening.

In the midst of his Meditation, Leonard Churchill suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze zeroing in on the distant ruins, his pupils sharply contracting: “They’re here!”

The grand troops were marching, but it seemed they were using some kind of army equipment to cover up the sound.

Only a cloud of black mist was visible, but no sound could be heard.

Leonard Churchill was also not worried about the likes of Eighth Tier top warriors making a direct sneak attack on Gold-digging Dock.

Because that probability was very slim.

From what he had learned over time, he had noticed a pattern: the top-tier Card Masters of the Ariel Empire possessed an extraordinary pride.

After all, they were Dragon Descendants, and their inherent ruler’s aura had no patience for any sneaky actions.

Therefore, among the High-Order Card Masters from that side, the proportion of Assassin Type professionals was surprisingly low, whereas Close-combat brutes abounded.

Now, facing a weaker Card Master Federation, Eighth Tier individuals were commanders of the kingdom, too prideful to stoop so low.

Leonard Churchill had noticed, but the fierce look in his eyes quickly dissipated.

After all, “Joel” could not discover this.

But he did not want to be punished by military law for shirking his duties.

He still made a show of being a good sentry.

He stood up and patrolled the area from time to time.

Finally, the Thorny Snake Corps’ leading forces arrived, and Leonard Churchill had already sensed some hidden “Air” in the darkness.

He still pretended to see nothing.

Waiting until someone triggered the outer warning traps, he was the first to shout anxiously: “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
