Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 925 - 287 A Heroic Toad_2

Chapter 925 -287 A Heroic Toad_2

This tactic kills eight hundred of the enemy, but harms us a thousand.

But Leonard Churchill knew that what was being fought over was morale.

If considering battle damage, the best option for the Lionheart Family would be to retreat and play Empty City.

But they did not.

Instead, they chose to pay a great price to hold their ground head-on.

Fear always stems from the unknown; there were already many in the Federation who favored surrender before the battle had even begun, thinking they had no chance of victory.

Most people were waiting and watching.

Without any hope of victory in sight, no one would willingly head to their death.

Yet these two tough battles now painted an entirely new picture.

The previous interception of a seventh-tier enemy broke the fear in everyone’s heart within the Federation that “Super Tier” enemies were invincible;

This battle shattered the myth of the invincibility of the local corps;

These two opening battles laid the foundation for unwavering morale in the many years of prolonged warfare that would come.

…

The chaos in the camp continued.

Leonard Churchill’s gaze swept through the entire camp.

This kind of sudden chaos could expose a lot of hidden intelligence.

Just like how Leonard Churchill saw tents being overturned all around, but a certain tent steadfastly remained still.

It was clear that there must be a master inside.

“So the Thorny Snake Corps is hiding big shots…”

Leonard Churchill had thought it was just a corps coming to fight a war, but it now seemed it wasn’t so simple.

There was also the presence of a “Mysterious Military Supervisor.”

And at that moment, Leonard Churchill’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

The shockwave from the distant explosion also instantly lifted the black covering off the iron prison cart, and Leonard Churchill saw the “monster” inside for the first time.

It was a huge… Warts Toad covered in festering boils?

The toad slumped in the cart, not only with its shoulder blades pierced by chains dripping with blood, but its limbs were also bound by Magic-sealing Chains.

It seemed those people were very worried about it escaping.

“Eh…?”

Leonard Churchill initially thought it was some sort of Demon Beast.

But looking at the toad’s lazy eyes, his intuition told him this was a human.

Leonard Churchill had previously encountered a Totoro that could speak and had seen many Demon Beasts with no small amount of intelligence.

But even the most intelligent Demon Beast has a look in its eyes different from that of a human.

The eyes can see the soul.

A cursed human?

And coincidentally, just as Leonard Churchill glanced over, the warty toad also looked right at him.

In a camp of tens of thousands, it happened to fix its gaze here.

Even with just a moment of eye contact, Leonard Churchill immediately understood that this fellow had seen him.

“Sure enough, it knows about the jar on me!”

Leonard Churchill’s pupils constricted slightly, but then the corners of his mouth raised in a curve.

He had guessed rightly; the toad had long since discovered the jar on him.

And just with that one look, he was also certain that the other party bore no malice.

There might even be an opportunity for cooperation.

“Seems like I may have a chance to make contact with that toad…”

Leonard Churchill murmured to himself.

Since the other party could sense the presence of the jar, it must know some secrets.

After a moment of chaos, the guards once again covered the cage with the black cloth.

Having spotted the master in a certain tent, Leonard Churchill didn’t dare to look any longer.

He also began tidying his own tent that had been blown messy, and then, the communicator he had been focusing on suddenly vibrated with an encrypted message.

A simple message: I am still alive.

Leonard Churchill read it and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

The recent explosion must have also caused heavy casualties for the Lionheart Family; he had been worried that this old friend had died in battle.

Then came another message: Your friends are also well.

Leonard Churchill read it, and the last trace of concern in his heart also dissipated.

Barre Shepherd and Sophia Jones had joined the battle largely because they trusted him and had agreed to work with the Lionheart Family.

Thankfully, there had been no accidents.

With the awaited news in hand, Leonard Churchill’s mood brightened.

….

Soon, news from Gold-digging Dock came back.

The process went more or less as Leonard Churchill had conjectured.

General Heman leading the Vanguard Team couldn’t quickly take down the heavily defended Gold-digging Dock and was stuck in a stalemate; reinforcements arrived later for a strong assault and finally broke through the city, initiating street fighting…

But unexpectedly, in the midst of the battle, the Lionheart Family blew up both the city and the entire dock.

Leonard Churchill did not witness the horrific scene first-hand, but it was said that rock walls for miles around crumbled and fell into the bottomless Abyssal Rift.

Although the explosion didn’t kill high-tier card masters including General Heman, the Thorny Snake Corps suffered significant losses.

This battle silenced the entire Thorny Snake Corps.

The main corps took a hit, and the people of the Venomous Bee Vanguard Group Leonard Churchill belonged to felt somewhat relieved.

See, it wasn’t that we were weak; the enemy was just too cunning.

Before, only their Vanguard Legion bore the brunt of the blame, but now that the General himself had arrived and still failed to achieve the expected results, the pressure suddenly lessened.

And what’s more important, those people failed to rapidly conquer the Gold-digging Dock and cross the Abyssal Rift.

The Divine Artifact chain connecting to the Gold-digging Dock had also been taken back by the Orlan Royal Family.

The East Continent and the Middle Earth Continent had completely lost contact.

However, looking at the reactions from different factions within the camp, the Ariel Empire appeared to have some special means of crossing the Abyssal Rift.

That made sense.

After all, the Southern Continent and Middle Earth Continent were also separated by a rift, and there must be special means to cross it.

But bringing that thing over would take some time.

Leonard Churchill was not particularly surprised.

The course of the battle had almost all been within his expectations.

What came next would be a long game of guerilla warfare.

Half a month passed in a flash.

With Gold-digging Dock gone, there was no longer any reason to remain in this wasteland.

The Thorny Snake Corps set off towards the new cities that the Federation had established on the Old Continent, like Lion City.
