Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 924 - 287: A Heroic Toad

Chapter 924 -287: A Heroic Toad

The portly Lam left the Vanguard Team’s camp with great satisfaction.

Leonard Churchill silently watched from above the ruined building, his brow slightly furrowed.

He glanced again at the giant cage in the distant slave camp and pondered, “If the ‘jar’ the Ariel Empire’s top brass is after is indeed the pottery jar in my possession…aren’t I just delivering it to them?”

Leonard didn’t bring anything else, but he always carried the two Spell Clay Pots with him.

Not only do these pots have a speed-enhancing effect on cultivation, but more importantly, they can prevent curses and exempt the bearer from some Super Tier Mysterious Type spell probes.

According to Noah Wright, everything in the universe has its own threads of fate.

That Leonard could obtain these two jars was already a part of his “Luck.”

Carrying them also amplifies his own Luck.

This is why many like to wear special Relics to ward off evil, eliminate disasters, and boost their fortune. Essentially, the objects themselves contain properties that can affect a person’s own Extraordinary Traits.

However, since the Spell Clay Pots are of such a High Tier, even Noah Wright couldn’t specify what benefits they would bring.

But he said at least Leonard has been carrying them for so long without incident, which means his Life Pattern can withstand them.

Mysterious system spells like Divination come with a cost.

Considering the jars already contain an Outer God sealed within, an existence of such a tier is simply beyond human divination.

That’s where the hidden effect against mysterious spells comes into play.

“However, since that fat man mentioned the ‘monster’ in the box is for finding the jars… If it really is the two I have on me, could it be that it has actually already discovered the jars on me?”

This was Leonard’s worry.

His thoughts scattered in his mind like countless threads, turning his brain into an extremely complex maze where some ideas collided while others continued to extrapolate…

In the end, he came to two conclusions.

First, the monster hadn’t discovered them.

Second, it discovered them but didn’t reveal it.

Both his intuition and deduction told Leonard that the latter was more probable.

If the Ariel Empire went through so much trouble to transport such a large cage, it signifies that the “monster” certainly has the ability to detect the presence of the jars.

And at such a close range, if it had the ability to detect, it would have discovered them already.

“Tsk tsk, interesting. It found out but kept it to itself… which means the ‘monster’ in the cage isn’t fully under their control, huh.”

Leonard concluded and suddenly grew curious about what the creature actually was.

Needing to be imprisoned and heavily guarded suggests that the relationship between the monster and the Thorny Snake Corps might not be friendly.

It’s likely being forced to assist in the search for the jars due to some special reason.

Normally, if Leonard wanted to ensure his safety, leaving now would be the best option.

There was no telling when the monster might reveal the existence of the jars on him for some reason.

However, the decision to leave flashed through Leonard’s mind and was almost immediately dismissed.

He chose to stay.

While it was risky, it also spelled “opportunity.”

Seeing those pure human War Slaves earlier, he knew that the Ariel Empire was not entirely united.

The presence of so many slaves indicates that the rebelling forces were not weak.

The enemy of an enemy is an ally, and although there was risk, Leonard saw a glimmer of opportunity to break the stalemate.

….

The battle at Gold-digging Dock raged on for a long time and was fiercely contested.

The sounds of explosions could be heard clearly even tens of kilometers away.

Although General Heman’s Thorny Snake Corps Vanguard had more than one Seventh Tier, Gold-digging Dock had also spent a great deal of wealth and resources on defenses during this period and was not easily breached.

Moreover, the dock was also where Barre Shepherd and a group of the Federation’s top combat powers were gathered. Armed with detailed intelligence from Leonard, these proud figures were certainly not going to retreat without a fight.

This side had initially thought it would be a blitzkrieg, but it ended up dragging on for much longer.

However, more reinforcements kept arriving.

Leonard informed Catherine Carter of this situation.

He didn’t know the specifics on her end, but he was aware that the Lionheart Family would definitely not be keen on defending Gold-digging Dock to the last.

Finally, a terrifyingly earth-shaking explosion announced the end of the battle.

The space in the Underground Cave world, being like tunnels, meant shockwaves had nowhere to go and surged like floodwaters everywhere.

In the brief moment following the explosion and earthquake, shockwaves swept through the entire camp.

It was the first time Leonard had seen such a massive blast.

Sand and stones lifted by the blast from dozens of kilometers away were painful against the skin, let alone the horrific conditions at Gold-digging Dock.

In the camp, buildings crumbled, dust flew, and chaos reigned.

The soldiers of the Thorny Snake Corps were unanimous in their expressions of shock.

Lacking mechanical technology in the Southern Continent, they also lacked fundamental understanding of physical explosions.

“What happened!”

“How could there be such a huge commotion!”

“Damn it! Those people from the East Wilderness didn’t just blow up Gold-digging Dock, did they?”

“…”

Leonard narrowed his eyes, looking over the disordered camp, and understood the Lionheart’s tactics.

The previous war of attrition was meant to deliberately attract enemy reinforcements.

To draw in reinforcements for a devastating Destruction Series suicide bombing attack.

Bombs may have a limited impact on High-Order Card Masters, but quantity must be considered.

The scale of the explosion led Leonard to suspect that the guess was correct, Gold-digging Dock was probably obliterated.

But when it came to casualties, the Federation might not have the upper hand.
