Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 932 - 289 Fairy Tale Town - White Crow

Chapter 932: Chapter 289 Fairy Tale Town – White Crow

The quiet harbor glistened with the dark water’s ripples.

Not far away, the lights of Waren City shone brightly.

Leonard Churchill blended into a group of rebels clad in various burlap robes, meticulously observing every person in sight without making a sound.

Any one of these people could be the “traitor.”

He also had to find the ancestor of Toad, the man named “Goron.”

About two hundred people disembarked from a few ships; their “aura” indicated they were elite fighters.

Among them were not a few Fourth Tier card masters.

Most were slave gladiators, heavy with killing intent, each one as alert as a leopard in hunt mode.

Scanning the crowd, most had their faces covered, and no one spoke; it was impossible to tell who was who.

Although he had already explored a few times before, since none of the people who joined the Rebel Faction had survived, there was very little intelligence.

Leonard wasn’t in a hurry; he carefully watched.

…

The people who disembarked were still assembling.

Leonard observed carefully, and suddenly a thought crossed his mind, “Strange, if there is a ‘traitor’ within the rebellion army, why didn’t the military act to wipe them out before the fall of Waren City, instead of after paying a heavy price?”

From the intelligence he had received before, he knew that Waren City had become a camp for the rebels and was eventually almost destroyed and left with no survivors.

The war had resulted in a large number of civilian casualties.

As soon as this doubt surfaced in Leonard’s mind, he automatically deduced a possibility: Playing the long game to catch a big fish.

The more than two hundred people here were just responsible for combat as the vanguard; if they couldn’t win, they would retreat immediately.

This was the flexibility of “guerrilla tactics.”

But once they got their hands on the food, it would require a large number of people to move it, and the traces of retreat could not be concealed.

Waiting for the main force of the rebellion army to appear, they would then be surrounded and annihilated.

“So, does this mean that the military is actually nearby?”

Thinking this, Leonard’s eyes twinkled with a hint of mockery, “Interesting. To use an entire city as bait and make such a ruthless move… The commander planning this war is really severe…”

This tactic of luring the enemy out of hiding, tactically, makes perfect sense; it could indeed wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop;

But from a humanitarian perspective, didn’t that commander consider the lives of the Waren City civilians?

This was different from Noah Wright’s previous strategy in Sinless City, where he had no choice against the Crimson Sect that had already become a powerful force beyond the capability of a person to fight.

However, the current gladiator uprising was an “slave uprising” with a huge power disparity.

According to the intelligence obtained from Hero Toad, the uprising, whether in terms of numbers, equipment, or any other condition… The official forces had absolute power to crush the Rebel Army.

Even in this “Battle of Waren City.”

Yet in reality, the slave movement’s momentum was increasing, even showing signs of sweeping across the entire Taren Dynasty.

The official reason was that they did not take it seriously at first, which led to the uncontrollable number of rebels.

Leonard had also thought it was the case before.

But now, thinking about it, was it necessary to sacrifice the residents of a city for such a rebellion?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Leonard always had the feeling that this war seemed to be artificially spread.

He suddenly thought of something, “Is this the warfare rule that Toad wanted me to observe?”

…

At this moment, the people from several ships had all disembarked.

Everyone fell silent.

A sturdy man lifted his cloak, revealing his resolute big-bearded face and the twin swords at his waist.

This was the leader of the Rebel Faction troops from the southern part of Taron, “Blood Blade” Batis, a Fifth Tier gladiator with exceptionally strong strength.

He lowered his voice and began to speak, “There are about two thousand City Guards in Waren City, mostly concentrated at the magistrate’s residence. Therefore, I need twenty brave warriors to sneak into Waren City with me and open the city gates. Then we can charge in and capture the city, seizing the food…”

As soon as these words were spoken, some people raised their hands.

“I’ll go!”

“Boss, count me in, Haines!”

“…”

The vanguard that came this time were all warriors who had been bloodied in the Gladiator Arena.

No one feared such a perilous mission.

“Blood Blade” Batis nodded at a few and quickly assembled more than ten people.

In the crowd, Leonard’s eyes shifted, and without hesitation, he stood up and said, “Leader, count me in! I’m skilled at disguise and better suited for sneaking in.”

Normally, adventurers were not required to participate in such missions.

Just wait for the Non-Player Characters to open the door and follow them in.

However, Leonard wasn’t thinking about just leaving the Alternate Dimension alive; he needed to find the key to the Slave Collar and also “Goron.”

Currently, his identity was that of a displaced person, with very low trust from the Non-Player Characters, so he needed to become familiar with them as quickly as possible.

And “Blood Blade” Batis, as the leader of the Rebel Faction, was inevitably involved in key plotlines.

This was also why, after analyzing the intelligence, Leonard believed Batis was the most likely person to know the plot involving the key to the Slave Collar.

“Blood Blade” Batis gave Leonard a look, seemingly familiarizing himself with this new brave warrior, and said gratifiedly, “Good! You’ll come with me!”

Leonard nodded his head.

Enlightenment appeared: “C-level side mission triggered: Infiltrate Waren City, assassinate the gatekeepers, open the South City Gate; upon completion, receive a settlement evaluation and specific faction rewards based on participation;”

According to the earlier Enlightenment prompts in the Alternate Dimension, the rewards would vary depending on the chosen faction.

In other words, the rewards might be related to the Rebel Army.

Leonard didn’t say anything more.

However, to his slight surprise, two more people also stood up at this time: “We’ll go too!”

This was a fifty-person team space.
