CATASTROPHE CARD KING

Chapter 940: Chapter 291 S-Class Scenario

Leonard Churchill’s wise display during the city’s breach, and his courageous leadership in charging the Governor’s Mansion, were all noted by the Rebellion Army.

The gladiators were mostly hot-blooded, rash men, who also greatly respected warriors.

This pre-established “trust” was a necessary condition for the plan.

Moreover, the fatal wound of a dagger thrust to the heart—no one would suspect it was a ruse.

Nor would they guess that it was his own Shadow that had inflicted such serious injuries to Leonard.

…

Leonard handed out the secret letter in his hand.

It was written before with the pen and paper from the study, imitating the Governor’s handwriting.

It contained several pieces of intelligence, mainly reports of someone secretly informing the military about the Rebels within Waren City.

Leonard wasn’t sure which elements the space rules would block, so he wrote a little from various angles.

No matter which bit the Non-Player Characters could “see,” the deed would be done.

At that moment, the people who had gone after the Shadow returned.

“Boss, that guy got away just now, we didn’t catch him!”

“He has excellent Dark stealth abilities, a professional assassin. With such skills, it could only be a career intelligence operative from the military…”

“Boss, do we have a Traitor among us? This is bad; our movements might have already been under military surveillance. Even Waren City itself could be bait.”

“What do we do now? There is still so much food in the city. If we don’t move it, it will be difficult to sustain ourselves later. But if we try to move it, we might not have enough time.”

“…”

A group from the Rebellion Army scanned the letter, and each face turned extremely grim.

…

At this moment, Enlightenment appeared, “A-grade hidden plot triggered: Your actions have caught the attention of military spies hidden within the Rebellion Army. They have realized that the bait plan has been exposed. The famed general Marcus, leading the coalition forces of the city-states, is hastening the enclosure. The main mission line has changed, you and your teammates can choose to Break Through with the Rebel Army, or you can choose to survive in the city for three days. You cannot leave the space until the battle is over… ”

Seeing Enlightenment, Leonard also breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, “It’s done.”

Now, as long as those from the Rebellion Army realize there’s something wrong with this operation, “who is the Traitor” doesn’t matter anymore.

The aim of identifying the Traitor was to change the outcome of being completely annihilated while surrounded, to seize some initiative.

The main storyline has now changed.

This was exactly the best outcome Leonard wanted.

If he had followed the original A-grade main storyline, the Rebels in Waren City would have been entirely wiped out while besieged within Waren City.

Leonard and his group would have had to defend the city to the death.

In such large-scale war, whether one could survive depended entirely on luck.

Plus, without finding the “collar key,” it’s highly unlikely to receive an S-grade evaluation.

Such a completion held no meaning for him.

Meanwhile, Alice and Allen, the two teammates who had taken actual team actions, also saw Enlightenment.

The flickers in their eyes could not hide their astonishment: Could the plot be manipulated like this?

Their original plan was simple, to use the intelligence they knew to find “Goron,” and then try to survive following that guy. Only by surviving could they consider finding the key and triggering hidden plots.

Yet, this guy directly changed the main plotline?

With a self-staged assassination, he irreversibly steered the story towards an uncontrollable plot selection mode that they now had the upper hand in!

Now they could choose to defend the city or to Break Through.

“Amazing…”

Seeing the outcome, both Alice and Allen felt a simultaneous admiration and were thoroughly shaken by the ingenuity of the arrangement.

No wonder Hero Aragon had such high praise for this East Wilderness spy and asked them to cooperate with him all the way.

Now it was clear there was something exceptional about him.

Working with the same intelligence, they had tried before without success, but this guy succeeded.

Alice also knew that Leonard’s ability to solve space stories was far superior to her own.

A card master of the Intelligence Sequence?

Alice couldn’t help but wonder.

What surprised her the most was that many times she had tried using the Mind Reading Technique, she found that this guy was always thinking with an unnatural coolness.

Even with a knife wound in his chest, he showed no signs of emotional fluctuation from the pain.

That was what she truly found outrageous.

This guy had a kind of absolute confidence and madness about his own plans.

…

“Hurry up with the food transport; I need to confirm some things. Everyone else, wait for instructions on how to proceed,” he said.

“Yes, boss!” they responded.

“…”

The food reserves of Waren City were a matter of life and death for a million men of the Rebellion Army.

Even if it was a bait, they had no choice but to bite.

So, even knowing the dangers, they couldn’t just give up on it right away.

Leonard also kept a close watch on everyone’s expressions throughout.

He noticed that Blood Blade Batis’ face noticeably changed upon receiving the letter, it wasn’t just grave, but also complex.

When he saw the flicker of surprise in Alice’s eyes, Leonard guessed that the real Traitor was indeed among them.

“Is the leader of this Rebellion Army the traitor?” was his first reaction.

But he dismissed it soon after.

The bloodlust of Batis wasn’t something a cowardly Traitor could fake.

Most likely, the man had become aware of who the Traitor was.

The hint of difficulty and remorse between his brows suggested that he might have a close relationship with the traitor.

The group expressed their concern for Leonard, the wounded man, and then dispersed.

Everyone knew that a fierce battle might be imminent.

Only Leonard and his two companions remained in the dilapidated study.
