Chapter 1383 - Chapter 1383 Chapter 424 A Gift from 3000 Years Ago_3

Chapter 1383: Chapter 424: A Gift from 3000 Years Ago_3 Chapter 1383: Chapter 424: A Gift from 3000 Years Ago_3 What they never anticipated was that the battle situation would be totally one-sided!

Although the three of them were unrivaled in combat power, killing this group of people wouldn’t be difficult.

But at the very least, the Seventh Order Commander who had mastered the Space Law shouldn’t have been so easy to kill. If he focused his spatial abilities on escaping, even if the three joined forces, there was a large possibility he could escape.

Yet just moments ago, Leonard Churchill threw a punch.

The commander, who could have once again used his starscape banishment to exempt himself from damage, just stood there, allowing his heart to be pierced by the punch.

Life was swiftly draining from his broken body, but there was not a trace of fear or regret on Roden’s face.

Instead, the officer with handsome golden hair even showed a smile of relief towards Camilla and Tracy Garcia.

His eyes, which were gradually losing focus, seemed to see the future of civilization.

As he smiled, crimson blood seeped through his teeth, and the Colonel of the Imperial Guard continued to smile in death.

With his death, the others couldn’t put up any resistance at all, and in the blink of an eye, the hundred-man squad was entirely wiped out.

…

Leonard Churchill and the two women also didn’t expect that this story mission would go so smoothly.

Of course, they also noticed that there was something fishy about the death of this Seventh Order Commander.

The two women were puzzled and looked towards Leonard Churchill.

They had thought it was Leonard Churchill who had used some secret technique to kill the Seventh Order.

However, Leonard Churchill shook his head.

He vaguely realized that this defection incident wasn’t that simple.

Without thinking too much, Leonard Churchill took the cloth bag from the waist of the corpse.

Upon opening it, he saw two stones emitting a blackish-purple halo like night pearls.

This was the Space Origin Stones mentioned in the story prompt.

Without having much time to think, Enlightenment appeared.

“You have completed an A-level story, killing the defector. By killing Legion Commander Roden, you gain 14,000 Contribution points, Gold Medal*1”

“Triggered an A-level hidden story: The Entrustment of Colonel Roden of the Imperial Guard. You have received two Space Origin Stones, and you and your teammates must ensure that they do not fall into the hands of the rebels.”

Leonard Churchill wasn’t surprised by the completion of the mission.

But another hidden task had emerged?

Leonard Churchill was puzzled.

There was something off about this task prompt… It had mentioned before to return to the Imperial City for a reward, so how had it become just not getting robbed?

Leonard Churchill didn’t dare to expose these items.

If he could sense them through Ivan before, others among the rebels might be able to as well.

Such as the Outer God, the Mysterious Mother of Insects, Caracta.

With this thought, Leonard Churchill casually tossed the two stones to Ivan.

The little girl swallowed them in one gulp.

This was like exploiting another bug.

Since Ivan was not part of the story, even if an Outer God came down, they probably would not be able to find the stones again.

As for the triggered hidden story, if you can’t figure it out, just soul search.

Tracy Garcia also took immediate action.

However, as soon as she started, she frowned: “These defectors are from the Imperial City’s Imperial Guards. One piece of bad news is… they have memory barriers, which can’t be broken by soul search. This is the Loyalty Mark that every Imperial Guard has…”

“…”

That made sense to Leonard Churchill.

Otherwise, once an Imperial Guard was captured and subjected to soul search, the secrets of the Imperial City’s defenses would be completely exposed.

Having a soul restriction was logical as well.

But when Leonard Churchill and Camilla thought the clue would end there, Tracy Garcia said, “The good news is, I happen to know the method to unlock this kind of barrier. Because this is a secret skill unique to my Garcia Family.”

That meant, in the whole Alternate Dimension, only members of the Garcia Family could unlock this kind of secrecy.

“Could it be…”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill suddenly felt a sense that there was more to the hidden story that could be dug up.

That thought wasn’t strong enough, and he didn’t know where it was directed.

The Extraordinary Traits of these more than a hundred corpses couldn’t go to waste. While Tracy Garcia was performing the Soul Search, he absorbed them and at the same time gathered Spoils of War that could be taken out of the Alternate Dimension.

After all, these were the Imperial City’s Imperial Guards, and their equipment represented the pinnacle of the era.

Whether it was Mechanical equipment or Curse Cards, they were all products of the royal family.

After a thorough looting, Leonard Churchill found his haul to be quite substantial.

He had not only obtained a large number of Curse Cards that could be taken out of the space, but also several types of advanced solo Mechanical equipment.

The difficulty of the A-level storyline had already been high, so it seemed this was also one of the rewards from the Spatial Will.

By this time, the outcome of Tracy Garcia’s soul reaping had also emerged.

Seeing her complex expression, Leonard Churchill asked, “What’s wrong?”

He had already guessed that this soul-sealing method seemed to be deliberately set up for Tracy Garcia.

Only she could see the truth.

Tracy Garcia replied, “They… don’t seem to be ‘deserters’.”

Upon hearing this, both Leonard Churchill and Camilla were taken aback, “Not deserters?”

Wasn’t this hinted at in the storyline?

“Yes.”

It was because of this that Tracy Garcia’s expression was particularly strange. “Their… a portion of their memories has been altered. But in this Colonel Rodon’s memory casket of Spirit Communication, it’s not like that… They didn’t desert because of the superficial reason of a tyrannical and incompetent ruler who killed their families. Rather, it was because of… a secret mission arranged by my Garcia Family’s ancestors.”

The thoughts in Leonard Churchill’s mind became clearer, “The true reason they deserted was because of… a secret mission arranged by your ancestors?”

Gazing upon the corpses strewn across the ground, Tracy Garcia’s expression also gained a measure of respect.

Although this was the plot space, in history, these people were likely to have once been seated thus.

Bearing the name of traitors, yet undertaking certain deeds

She continued, “Yes. Colonel Rodon was actually also unclear about the mission’s purpose. His altered memory was of my ancestor instructing them to steal Space Origin Stones and then leave the city to establish some sort of large Teleportation Array, seemingly to leave a way out for the Royal Family. But from his dying epiphanies, the purpose of this mission seems to be a feint… the real goal was… to deliver these two Space Origin Stones to us.”

“This”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill suddenly felt like some missing pieces of intelligence he lacked snapped together to form the final link.

And it was the most crucial link!

He immediately saw through the plan!

Originally, this group of “deserters” left the city to secretly construct a Teleportation Array.

It seemed like a ludicrous plan on the surface.

Especially since the Rebels, housing an Outer God, weren’t so easily fooled.

But in reality, it was a tactic commonly used within besieged cities.

Even if the Rebels were aware of the deserters’ actions, they wouldn’t stop them. After all, only if the Augustus Imperial Family evacuated, removing the resolve to fight to the death from the Imperial City’s military and civilians, could they breach the heavily armed Imperial Capital Behemoth.

In this, there might also be gambits and skirmishes between the higher echelons of both sides.

This plan was not excessive, and however you looked at it, it was the most reasonable option within the current state of the war.

It was also the only plan that allowed for the Augustus Imperial Family and some high-ranking officials a small chance to escape the Imperial City.

However,

The fact was!

This was only the second layer of the plan!

The true purpose of the desertion lay within the fifth layer!

That Priest Garcia wasn’t plotting just the current battle situation, but had schemed for three thousand years later!

That thought, like a current of electricity coursing through his body, enlightened Leonard Churchill and made his scalp tingle with understanding.

In that flash, he seemed to see a mysterious person appearing before them, smiling and beckoning.

Just like that Colonel who had smiled even in the face of death, there was a vision for the future.

In that moment, Leonard Churchill sensed the depth of intention from the planner three thousand years in the past!

These two Space Origin Stones weren’t just some spatial storyline mission, they were in fact a gift personally left to them by the Last Great Priest of Taren Will Smith… from three thousand years ago!

A gift left for that band of Kindle Fire in the East Wilderness!
