Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1416 - Chapter 1416 Chapter 435 New World Mechanical Group_3

Chapter 1416: Chapter 435: New World Mechanical Group_3 Chapter 1416: Chapter 435: New World Mechanical Group_3 Once I myself had died in battle, I would no longer have to be so conflicted, and that old friend wouldn’t be in danger anymore.

Oh… that guy has always loved adventures, never fearing danger.

Thinking about something, the corners of Seven Brown’s tense face, which had been strained for most of the month, showed a touch of gentleness for the first time.

I had once thought that I feared nothing, not even death.

Now I’ve discovered that I still don’t fear it, but… it somewhat feels like a pity, doesn’t it?

….

Seven Brown’s mind was cluttered and complex, alternating between thinking of battle plans and then of that comforting person.

Who knew how much time had passed.

A breeze swept through the wilderness, stirring waves of grass.

Two teammates clad in battle armor were on guard while the others took the chance to rest and resupply.

The nerves that had been tense for nearly a month were still tight, leaving everyone exhausted as if the enemy could arrive at any moment.

Suddenly, the life-sign detecting device started flickering lights, and the “beep beep” of the alarm instantly put everyone on alert.

“Captain, someone’s coming! Twenty kilometers away!”

“Eh… the target vanished again? That’s odd, could the device be broken? That’s not possible…”

“No, the signal has appeared again! So fast, that person is already fifteen kilometers away!”

“Damn it, did that guy use a spatial displacement? How can he move so fast?”

“It can only be that a Titan Battle Armor has come.”

“But… there’s no mechanical signal…”

“…”

The Hunting God Armor was equipped with the most advanced individual life detection system in the East Wilderness, with a broad and highly sensitive range.

It could detect life forms within a radius of several tens of kilometers.

There were no other living people in this wilderness.

The strongest beast here was the Desert Wolf, only slightly bigger than a rabbit; it definitely couldn’t trigger such a significant response from the detection equipment.

It could only be an enemy!

However, what was frightening wasn’t the enemy, but the fact that the light spot on the screen moved like a paranormal event, not a normal life movement pattern but flickering like a ghost.

The speed was completely beyond the understanding of these young mechanics of human capabilities.

Moreover, as the distance grew closer, the display on the device became clearer.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the “life signal” wasn’t an illusion and was heading straight towards them.

Before the members of the New World Squad could fully equip their gear, they saw a young man with a distinguished air emerge from the glowing wilderness.

A real person?

The group exchanged glances.

Such a long distance covered so quickly?

Was this some kind of devilry?

….

The communicator on Seven Brown was a custom ancient communicator obtained from Catherine Carter.

Even if it was off, it had a positioning function within a certain range.

Having wandered around the Moss Wilderness for a day, he had barely managed to catch a signal,

and he had rushed over immediately.

He wasn’t sure exactly what Seven Brown had encountered.

But he could speculate that the Infinite Energy God Hunter Armor was pushed to a desperate situation by only a few in the East Wilderness.

It could only be an Eighth Rank card master or a Titan Battle Armor.

However, with the Red Dragon Empire’s plundering war in the East Wilderness heating up, the Orlan Royal Court’s manpower was also strained.

It wasn’t likely to be the Eighth Rank.

The two possibilities were brought by Moon God Arachne.

He had previously seen one in the Old Continent Behemoth Imperial Capital Ruins; the other might be protecting the New King Arthur.

It’s unlikely they had returned to the East Wilderness.

Moreover, the Titan Battle Armor was a prime target for the ambushes by those people from the Southern Continent; even the Red Dragon Royal Family was now using a Marquis title as a bounty.

All the experts were watching; the Orlan Royal Court dared not allow them to appear easily on the battlefield.

Sending them to this godforsaken unpopulated area for a mission was more than appropriate.

Even if Leonard Churchill had speculated that the trouble Seven Brown encountered might relate to the Titan Battle Armor, he still perceived great danger.

After all, he was one of the few who had personally witnessed the terrifying combat power of the Titan Battle Armor in his age.

After receiving the news from Lew Williams, he had hurried non-stop to this wilderness.

Then he searched for two days.

Fortunately, he had found them.

….

When Leonard Churchill spotted the fully armed Hunting God Armor amidst the dense weeds, his heart abruptly eased.

Looking at the leader in a distinctly structured armor, equipped with many special devices, he instinctively felt that this had to be Seven Brown.

As he had predicted, upon seeing Leonard, a look of surprise overcame Seven Brown’s face beneath her visor.

Seeing her comrades pointing long guns and short cannons at Leonard, she hurriedly said, “Don’t shoot!”

Then she immediately took off her mask, revealing a face that couldn’t hide the joy within.

Their eyes met, each feeling an immense relief.

Leonard also sighed softly, calming the agitation of traveling as he muttered to himself, “As long as you’re alive…”

Immediately after, only the sounds of “click, click” of the mechanical joints could be heard opening.

Seven Brown dismounted from her armor and then approached him.

Without avoiding anyone’s gaze, she gave her old friend a warm and tight hug.

She knew Leonard would certainly come.

But in her moment of utmost despair, seeing him arrive, tears of extreme joy glistened in Seven Brown’s eyes.

She whispered into Leonard’s ear in a voice only they could hear, “You shouldn’t have come…”

Leonard, holding Seven around her slim waist, didn’t need to ask; he knew why she said that.

His old friend feared for his safety as well.

But danger?

Hardly.

Now, in the East Wilderness, there were hardly any enemies left who posed a real threat to him.

At least the current situation hardly counted as one.

Leonard had previously only speculated, but seeing this group, especially the traces left by Machinery on the mecha, he had deduced everything in his mind.

Listening to Seven Brown’s self-reproachful mutterings, he patted her back and softly consoled, “It’s fine.”

“…”

At this word “It’s fine,” Seven’s expression instantly brightened as if she heard the most reassuring words in the world.

This half month’s pursuit had continuously tensed her mind, but now she finally felt a moment of relaxation.

As the captain, she was the backbone of the team, always facing everything with strength.

Any team member could utter despair words and show tiredness or hopelessness, but she could not!

The constant tension in her nerves had left her both mentally and physically exhausted by now.

However, at that moment, she felt that inexplicable familiarity, that reliability.

With him there, it seemed she didn’t even have to think, as if all problems would solve themselves.

Yet now was not the time for reminiscing. Seven quickly said, “But… the enemy is very strong…”

She didn’t know how to start.

As she was thinking about how to quickly introduce the topic, Leonard interjected before she could finish, “A Titan Mech, the Close-combat series kind?”

Seven was just about to tell him about the extremely critical situation.

Hearing Leonard pinpoint the most critical trouble, she froze for a moment.

Soon after, she sharply raised her head from behind his shoulder.

Seven looked at that increasingly calm face, the clear eyes still shimmering with a crystalline sheen, forcibly suppressing her inner surprise, and countered, “How… How did you know?”

To know about the Titan Battle Armor was one thing, but how did you also know it was the Close-combat series one?

“Heh…”

Leonard smiled, remaining silent.

Today, his realm of “I Am the World” made it hard for there to be any secrets before him.

But this deduction had been an instantaneous thing in his mind.

Explaining it would be troublesome.

Seeing his old friend alive, he wasn’t in a hurry to speak.

“…”

Seven, observing that familiar calm expression, immediately recalled their numerous past shared adventures.

In an instant, all her worries vanished.

The feeling was back.

Indeed, this guy always had a solution.

Seven’s expression finally relaxed completely, her face instantly bursting into a joyful smile.

Yet the surprise was not hers alone.

The members of the New World Squad nearby, watching their intimate embrace, were completely stunned.

Was this really the same…

Gang leader, stubborn fugitive, ruthless warrior, Mechanical Female War God among many nicknames… Ironblood Captain, Brother Seven?
