Chapter 1098: Chapter 337: Discussing the Situation with Catherine Carter Chapter 1098: Chapter 337: Discussing the Situation with Catherine Carter Several days later.

In the northeast region of the Old Continent, a dense forest concealed an ancient relic known as “Ernst Crow’s Nest.”

It was only after contacting Catherine Carter that Leonard Churchill learned this was the latest secret headquarters of the Alliance Army.

Guerrilla warfare is about firing a shot and changing location.

The Old Continent has vast areas that are uninhabited, even with various ready-to-use military fortress relics.

This provided the Alliance Army with the space to survive.

“Wait for me, I’m currently in a very important military conference. It should end in about half an hour, and then I’ll come to find you.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the communicator, Leonard Churchill squatted on a moss-covered stele with interest and read the inscriptions on it.

A few crows perched on the high branches, their pitch-black pupils reflecting everything happening in the forest.

Leonard guessed that these were Spirit Objects of Perceptive Card Masters.

He didn’t mind.

It was only normal for such defenses to be near an Allied base.

Gently pushing aside the moss, a faint scent of earth wafted into his nostrils, giving him a whiff of history’s decay.

Since entering “I Am the World,” Leonard had grown increasingly interested in history.

The universal laws of movement were also hidden in these inconspicuous corners of the world, requiring close observation.

After exactly half an hour, a tall, slender blonde female General in a white military uniform emerged from the darkness.

Seeing Leonard squatting in front of the stele, she greeted him with a tone and step as light as her own, “Long time no see, you’ve become stronger.”

Having the commander of the Allied Forces meet him in person was already giving him considerable face.

Leonard looked at the spirited Catherine Carter, stood up, and also smiled slightly, “Miss Carter has changed quite a lot, too.”

In the few months since they last met, the young lady of the Lionheart Family had completely shed her once green aura, her brows now exuding efficiency and sharpness, truly resembling a competent military commander.

Catherine came over and explained with a hint of apology, “The main corps from the Southern Continent have arrived at the Abyssal Rift. I just finished convening an emergency meeting with the senior officers of the Alliance. I was afraid you’d been waiting for too long, so I came without changing.”

In upper class society, meeting guests without freshening up one’s appearance can be somewhat impolite.

“It’s fine.”

Leonard didn’t mind at all and even added, “Miss Carter looks pretty in a military uniform, too.”

“Oh, really?”

Catherine, hearing this, showed a smile on her cute face and said, “Thank you.”

While talking, Leonard glanced at the dark area behind Catherine.

There, a Sixth Tier assassin had perfectly concealed his form.

Thirty meters away, there were three more people, all of their presences locked onto him.

It looked like a squad.

Catherine caught his subtle glance and explained, “They are my guards.”

“Hmm.”

Leonard of course knew this, but his instinctual caution made him take an extra look.

Catherine seemed to feel that bringing guards to meet a friend might seem a bit excessive, so she offered more of an explanation, “After the restoration of the Orlan Royal Court, they have never given up the idea of wanting to incorporate the Alliance Army. After I rejected them, there have been people trying to cause trouble lately. Even among the senior ranks of the Allied Forces, there are spies they have planted. Therefore, the staff headquarters assigned me accompanying guards…”

This was somewhat confidential.

But with friends, she had no reservations and spoke casually.

Leonard appeared thoughtful, “Oh?”

The foundation and strength of the Orlan Royal Family were still strong, and they had no shortage of experts.

Assassinating a high-level figure of the Alliance Army, if they really wanted to, wouldn’t be difficult.

Catherine guessed what he was thinking and added, “But there’s not much of a problem for now. Our Alliance Army can currently contain part of the enemy from the Southern Continent on the Old Continent, and the people from the Orlan Royal Family don’t dare to be too excessive. Even if I died, it wouldn’t change anything.”

“…”

Leonard listened without speaking, as his mind had already calculated several outcomes in an instant.

No matter the end result of the war, the restored Orlan Royal Family was a cancer.

When the conversation reached this topic, Catherine’s expression also showed a trace of helplessness.

Knowing it was a hidden danger yet unable to resolve it for the time being,

she thought about it and still spoke up, desiring not to burden their meeting with heavy subjects, “I actually encountered an assassination attempt recently. It was thanks to Miss Alice and Mr. Aragon’s help that I managed to survive… It was quite dangerous…”

Catherine spoke of the dangerous assassination with the calmest tone, but didn’t plan to dwell on it.

She changed the subject, “Let’s not talk about that. It’s rare for you to visit, so I should at least treat you well.”

“…”

Leonard watched her for a moment and followed along.

The Rebel Dragon Army had experts, but they were allies, not hitmen dealing with troubles for others.

If they couldn’t solve such a minor problem, there wouldn’t be any equitable value in cooperation.

….

They walked together in the forest.

Catherine also brought up the question she had been curious about since their meeting, “Have you advanced to the Fifth Tier? You were actually able to detect the ‘Falcon Squad’.”

Leonard: “Hmm.”

Catherine laughed and continued, “I saw the Bounty Orders from the Red Dragon Royal Family for you. You’re impressive to have killed the Nineteenth Prince of the Red Dragon. I heard he was a top genius among the Dragon-blooded Card Masters…”

Leonard smiled and replied, “It was luck. That guy was indeed strong, I almost died too.”

Catherine didn’t take his ‘almost died’ comment as a joke, giving him a look.

She continued, “This is also the highest rank enemy of the nobility to die in the current war. Many people on the East Continent know you’re my friend. So this time, many high-ranking people in the Allied Forces speculated that this was a ‘decapitation strategy’ I quietly orchestrated, which has greatly boosted morale.”
