Chapter 1980: Chapter 597 Leader Negotiation

"The lord of Silver Wind City, ’Earl Tieling’ Sean Cumberland, possesses a mixed Dragon Hawk bloodline. So, although he is a ninth-tier expert, his status in the Red Dragon Royal Family isn’t high due to bloodline issues. It’s said that his strength is not outstanding among the Dragon Descendants, but his flying speed is extremely fast. His ’Dragon Eagle Hawk Legion’ is also skilled in lightning blitz... "

"The conscription order from the Red Dragon Royal Family was issued a long time ago, yet he has been stalling and hasn’t mobilized his troops, which clearly shows he has other ideas. If he truly cares for his reputation, there’s no reason for him to become mortal enemies with our Rebellion Army. It’s likely there are other reasons forcing him to obstruct us... "

"Yes. The origin of the orders is the Holy Tribunal, and usually, these old aristocrats wouldn’t dare refuse. But since he isn’t accepting the orders, he must have turned to align with a few other factions. The Sect of Light, the Crimson Sect, or the Lord of Soldier Calamity... these three Outer God forces. Currently, the main forces of the two Dragon Gods are in the Holy City of Vandias, and we aren’t the only ones interested in making a move on the Red Dragon King City, Acheleon. Whoever instructed Count Sean to block us has no intention of negotiating; a fight is inevitable... "

"I think so too. But with the treacherous terrain of Silver Wind City, a direct assault could incur significant casualties."

"Yes. If we really mean to fight, we need to find a way to lure that ’Earl Tieling’ Sean out and ambush him to reduce our losses."

"Do you have confidence?"

"I suppose I have some. Previously on the Old Continent, jointly with Marshal Andre of Iris, I killed a ninth-tier pureblood giant dragon, so I might have some assurance."

"Oh? But it won’t be easy. That guy won’t easily leave Silver Wind City."

"That’s why I plan to first check out the Earth Cave’s Lizard Race."

"..."

In the tent, Sophia Jones explained the recent situation to Leonard Churchill.

Leonard also helped analyze the war situation.

The conclusion they reached was essentially the same: no matter what, a tough battle is inevitable.

However, with the tough terrain of Silver Wind City, a direct assault is not a good choice.

Luckily, with Leonard’s arrival, the Rebellion Army has another option, which is a decapitation strategy.

...

As they were chatting, waves of cheering came from outside the tent.

Leonard knew it was Isabel and David sparring, and everyone in the camp was gathered around, laughing and watching the fun.

Sophia thought of something and said, "Your two disciples are quite impressive..."

Recalling the previous mention of "Master’s wife," her lips curled into a smile of mixed amusement and disbelief.

Although the title was a bit abrupt, it was also entertaining.

Hearing this, Leonard’s eyes lit up as he said, "Indeed. In the future, these two youngsters will surely be shining stars in the Card Master Civilization..."

He spoke about their backgrounds, and also briefly recapped the events in the East Wilderness and the Old Continent during this time.

Sophia heard about the great battle in the East Wilderness and the two battles over territories between the Alliance Army and Duke Simon, her crystal-clear eyes filled with excitement and interest.

She finally understood that so much had already happened.

At this point, Leonard glanced at the faint White Dragon Illusion behind Sophia and asked, "By the way, Auntie Jones, how confident are you in advancing to the ninth tier now?"

When he arrived at the camp before, he actually already sensed that Sophia and her Contract Immortal Aegis Animal seemed to have achieved a high degree of compatibility.

The situation of the God Stealer White Family is quite unique; they cultivate alongside their Immortal Aegis Animals.

And the White Dragon is just one step short of igniting the Divine Fire. That step, it’s not possible for its spiritual body to achieve alone; a companion Contract Master is required.

Previously, the gap between Sophia and it was too large, and their compatibility was low, restricting the combat power they could exert.

Now that Sophia has firmly stood in the Eighth Rank, things are obviously different.

"One or two chances maybe."

Sophia thought for a bit and said, "Previously, I successfully stole part of the Fortune from the Lord of Soldier Calamity, and my comprehension of the Law of War has grown significantly, touching the threshold of the Holy Realm. But it’s not yet solidified, it will take a lot of time to ponder... "

As she spoke, she looked at Leonard with a slightly strange expression and asked, "How did you suddenly reach the ninth tier?"

It was precisely because she was at the ninth-tier bottleneck that she knew how difficult it was to advance.

Without a Big Chance, most eighth-tier individuals would be stuck at this bottleneck for a lifetime.

Remember, last time they parted, Leonard was only at the seventh tier and hadn’t even touched the threshold of the Holy Realm. This time they’ve met after he has jumped two major ranks.

Even though the two of them were quite familiar, Sophia found it unbelievable.

Upon hearing this, Leonard smiled and said, "It does have a bit of luck to it. During a battle with King Arthur of Orlan, I comprehended the ’Tyrant Rule Power’, and then somehow glimpsed some rules of the universe’s operation... Later, with the support of the [Thorn Crown] and Dynasty Fortune... I succeeded in advancing."

There was nothing to hide from Sophia, so he explained the process of his ascension and some insights in detail.

Marking it as a reference for her.

’...’

Sophia listened quietly, her expression flickering with surprise from time to time.

Only then did she realize why Leonard described it as luck.

For someone else, hearing this, the "luck" factors indeed seemed quite significant.

Those great opportunities are truly not something ordinary people can come into contact with.

Yet he encountered all of them.

Of course,Sophia didn’t think it was just luck.

It was also due to the life-and-death adventures time and again.

She knew well that the Fortune gains in these crises were directly linked to Leonard’s personality and JOKER Professional Sequence.

After listening, Sophia’s crystal-clear eyes were filled with contentment and emotion: "When I first comprehended the Holy Realm, the White Dragon Lord told me that the Holy Realm is the card master’s expression of mastering the Law. Beyond that, is the godly power of Universe Rules. But you actually comprehended ’Rule Power’ across ranks, that’s truly outlandish."
