Chapter 928: Chapter 288 Camp Mode, Rebels
Ready to face death?
Leonard Churchill was aware of why the Toad had given him such a reminder.
After all, in the Toad’s eyes, he approached it as an “East Wilderness spy” also seeking to gain benefits.
If the risk was too high, no sane person would pay with their life for a stranger they were working with for the first ti.
Unfortunately, risk had never been the priority in Leonard’s decision-making.
His mind always focused on the opportunities behind the risks.
Looking at the current situation,
This mysteriously originating Toad definitely had no small number of secrets tied to it.
After all,
High-Order card masters of the [Hero] Sequence are usually figures from epic legends.
They even have a wider spread of tales than the kings of the [King] Sequence, whose nas are recorded in official history.
…
Leonard directly asked, “Is there anything special about that Alternate Dinsion?”
The Toad caught a hint of strangeness. It seed the guy in front of it wasn’t at all concerned about the danger it had warned of?
A flicker of surprise passed through its eyes, but it responded, “There’s a way to unlock the Slave Collar.”
“Hmm.”
Listening, Leonard understood everything.
All the slaves wore a Slave Collar around their necks.
Including the Toad.
The collar could track location, and could be detonated on command.
Once a slave escaped beyond a certain range, the explosive Curse on it would be passively triggered, blowing the person’s head off;
This was also the most important ans by which the Red Dragon Empire could control so many slaves.
So, if Leonard wanted to rescue the Toad, the first thing he must manage was how to remove the collar.
Looking for a key was almost out of the question.
In the past few days, seeing every slave wearing a collar, Leonard had purposely inquired about it.
The type of collar worn by the slaves is specially made by the Red Dragon Royal Military Workshop and requires a specific Curse key to be opened.
And the key is usually only possessed by high-ranking military officers.
The collar on the Toad’s neck was obviously a special make.
Leonard guessed that even General Heman of the Thorny Snake Corps would likely not be able to open it.
Even if he could, Leonard wouldn’t consider that route.
Because he couldn’t beat them.
So if Leonard wanted to save it, he had to figure out another way.
And the Toad was well-prepared; it had found this Alternate Dinsion.
Even the Fourth Tier Disaster Level of the space seed to be tailored for Leonard the “spy.”
It was as if it was waiting for him to make contact.
After being involved in a few high-stakes gas set up by Noah Wright, Leonard wasn’t surprised that the Toad could achieve this much.
If it were himself, he would have done the sa.
After all, it wasn’t easy to see even a glimr of hope of escaping the cage.
But what Leonard was more curious about, why was the Toad so certain that there was a “collar key” in the Alternate Dinsion when it had never been there?
….
Listening, Leonard had actually decided to make the trip.
His current identity was “Joel,” and even if the Alternate Dinsion was truly dangerous, there were more than one path to choose from.
He directly asked, “What will I get afterwards?”
For both parties working together for the first ti, there was no deep relationship to speak of.
In such a case, the terms of the benefit exchange needed to be made clear.
The Toad liked this straightforwardness and said, “You and your backing force would gain the friendship of the ‘Rebel Dragon Army.’
“…”
Upon hearing this, Leonard paused for a mont, thinking, This guy really takes for a spy from the Card Master Federation.
Now the predicant of the Card Master Federation lay before him.
They were far weaker in strength compared to the Southern Continent.
The “Thorny Snake Corps” in the Red Dragon Empire was only a second-rate force.
In the Ariel Empire, it wouldn’t even be noteworthy.
Yet such a corps had the power to obliterate the entire Federation.
Even in guerilla warfare, the combined forces of Catherine Carter and the Revolutionary Army stood no chance.
Winning against the Thorny Snake Corps would only lead to a relentless stream of reinforcents.
Once the enemy’s support troops poured into the Old Continent en masse, casualties would increase dramatically.
So a powerful ally was crucial.
And the “Rebel Dragon Army” was the “Revolutionary Army” within the Airel Ancient Dragon Empire.
It was an alliance of pure-blooded humans established to resist the rulership of the Dragon Descendants.
If the Card Master Federation had such a strong ally, familiar with various intelligence, the situation would turn much better in an instant.
Most importantly, these “Rebels” held the card master legacy of the Taron Kingdom from three thousand years ago.
They possessed an abundance of Super Tier transcendent knowledge.
This was sothing Leonard needed very much.
As he pondered these things, the Toad threw out another bargaining chip, “Besides, the plot of this Alternate Dinsion involves so significant epic historical events and cos with very rich rewards. I can provide you with so targeted intelligence, allowing you to more safely claim those high-tier rewards. If you manage to get through this Alternate Dinsion, you might even obtain ‘Epic’ items.”
This was sowhat overselling it.
Leonard’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.
But what surprised him was sothing else.
This guy seed sure of certain plots and items in the Alternate Dinsion?
How did he know?
Thinking of how the Thorny Snake Corps had brought him along to search for pots, he seed to understand sothing.
Did this guy have a prophecy-like treasure-hunting ability?
Or so sort of perceptive talent?
Wait! Isn’t the [Hero] Professional Sequence path not ant for brutes?
Leonard didn’t rush to agree but simply said indifferently, “Let’s hear it.”
Regardless of whether he would go or not, listening would do no harm.
The Toad didn’t find his caution to be an issue at all.
Given that this collaboration put the prisoner at a disadvantage,
it outright said, “The ‘Waren City Rebel Camp’ plot is tied to a real gladiator uprising that happened in the history of the Taron Dynasty. The battle of Waren City ended with the ‘Rebels’ being exterminated. But I can tell you for certain that not all the Rebels died. A man nad ‘Goron Frederick’ ultimately survived. At the ti, he had an important ancient relic for preserving life… if you can secure it, it will be a reward for your risk-taking venture. However, this is not part of the normal plotline, and the difficulty of acquisition will be extrely high.”
