Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 229 - 107 Red Baron



The werewolf’s supernatural perception allowed Leonard Churchill to clearly sense the scents and movements within the forest.

There were remnants of battles left in every direction.

The Fierce Beast Legion were not here for any reward for clearing the stage, so even if they triggered a “chance event,” they would definitely not take the initiative to break the situation.

Their current tactic must be to “hide and seek” in the forest.

They were betting that they could avoid the Red Baron until the reinforcement from the Human Legion arrived on the third day, and then leave the space. However, the number of demons is still far greater than that of humans. Once dispersed, it was like casting a wide fishing net, hard not to encounter.

Even if the low-tier demons couldn’t defeat the elites of the Fierce Beast Legion, a breakout of a battle would reveal their position.

The high-tier demons would then instantly identify the location and reinforce. Because of this,

Throughout the day and night of hiding, the already few surviving members of the Fierce Beast Legion suffered significant casualties once more.

The hiding clues of the Fierce Beast Legion seemed impossible to trace.

The Demon Corps were merely searching in the forest as if trying their luck, whoever they bumped into, they would swarm and kill.

But Leonard knew better.

Even if those guys were dispersed, their goal must have been to protect Young Master Kane.

They would leave tracks behind.

The Sawtooth Forest was vast.

As long as the team coordinated well and someone was willing to sacrifice and draw the monsters away, the chances of Young Master Kane surviving until the third day were quite high.

Therefore, Leonard’s current thought was to put some pressure on Young Master.

Since the space threw a “chance event” in his face.

He also wanted to use these members of the Fierce Beast Legion to test how strong the “Red Baron” really was.

Leonard stealthily moved on.

He encountered several patrols of little demons in the forest along the way.

And those omnipresent red-eyed bats.

But as he was alone and a small target, he managed to pass by smoothly with his Relic Cloak and the Shadow Submarine.

Following the bloody scent, he continued his search.

Before long, he found traces of a battle in the forest.

The towering trees here had been cut down in swathes, the flames burning the trees had not completely gone out yet.

There were a large number of demon corpses on the ground.

And five human bodies.

The surroundings were covered in sticky spider webs, which were obviously the work of Hell Spiders.

Leonard had personally experienced the difficulty of dealing with these spiders.

Without a way to counter them, getting caught in the spider web would mean certain death.

However, even in such a situation, this small squad of the Fierce Beast Unit had managed to clear out hundreds of monsters.

He didn’t know if the demons weren’t interested in human equipment, or if it was left behind due to the space rules.

Besides the flesh that was eaten, most of the equipment and storage rings on the five bodies were still in place.

Upon checking the signs of battle around him, Leonard found seven storage rings.

However, most of the potions and cards were almost depleted.

There were still extra equipment.

“Heh, coming here was indeed a good choice.”

Leonard cleaned up the battlefield, which resulted in some gains.

Just the items in these few storage rings were worth more than many tens of thousands of demon corpse’s materials.

A few military medals increased Leonard’s contribution points by nearly ten thousand.

It seemed that those hundred people who had survived and escaped yesterday were carrying the equipment and contribution points of nearly three hundred troops.

If the bodies of the remaining people were found, it wouldn’t be a small sum.

Moreover, the value of the bodies was not just equipment and contribution points.

After inspecting the traces, Leonard also discovered some other “clues”.

There were traces of a five-man team fighting in the forest.

It was like a direction arrow marked on a map.

Leonard also concluded that the direction deliberately avoided by this squad during their escape was likely Young Master Kane’s location.

Although the range was still wide.

But finding more battle scenes like this would narrow the range.

With good luck,

He might actually find Young Master in this vast forest.

Thinking about this, Leonard felt a surge of excitement.

He spent another half an hour in the forest.

Soon, he found the second battle scene.

However, this battlefield seemed a bit unusual.

Following the traces,

From a far distance, he could see burnt marks on the Sawtooth Tree trunks and the ground all along the way.

“Hellfire?”

Having been burned by the Cerberus before, Leonard immediately thought of something when he saw these scorched traces.

It wasn’t hard to guess that one of the parties in the battle was a powerful demon proficient in using Hellfire.

However, when he saw the bodies, Leonard’s expression instantly became grave.

Again, it was a five-man elite squad.

But the traces of the fight were far less intense than before.

A head was crushed, a chest was punched through, one was hit with a knee-like fighting technique breaking a tree along with him, and another was pierced in the abdomen…

All the wounds showed signs of being burnt.

All were killed with one hit.

The most exaggerated was that Black Knight.

Leonard walked over and looked at the Black Knight lying in a crater, his eyes flickering sharply.

“The armor of the Black Knight was shattered?”

A twitch went through Leonard’s eyes.

It was hard to imagine what kind of ferocious attack could achieve this effect.

His thoughts started to race.

A picture came to his mind: a tall fiery monster instantly killing four people, then pinning the Black Knight under him, pounding him with his heavy fists. The ground collapsed under the fury, the Black Knight held out a few punches relying on his armor, but had no chance to retaliate. Until his armor was hammered apart, he was killed instantly.

“It’s absurdly strong….”
