Chapter 968 -298: It’s Not Like I Haven’t Seen It Before_3

The words that came out were fluent in Taron Ancient Language.

It was then that Leonard Churchill realized that it was not only him who had been improving all this time, but others had also been striving to understand that powerful and unknown enemy.

When Alice met Catherine Carter for the first time, she was slightly surprised as well.

She hadn’t expected the person in charge from the East Continent to be so young and so beautiful.

But she responded with proper etiquette, “It is my honor.”

Catherine naturally possessed a strong charisma, and even upon a first meeting, she interacted with others as if they were guests, but even more so as if they were friends.

Her gaze appraised Alice briefly before she generously praised, “Miss Alice is really quite beautiful~”

Alice felt the goodwill and replied, “Miss Carter jests. You are the one who is truly stunning…”

The two shared a similar smile.

Catherine then indicated politely, “Apologies, but please come inside the castle. Due to the special circumstances, the setting is quite modest. I hope Miss Alice won’t mind.”

Alice didn’t mind at all, “Of course not. Our Rebel Dragon Army camps are much the same.”

Although the East Continent and the Southern Continent had been separated for thousands of years, they both inherited the ancient courtly etiquette of the Taron Royal Family, and both women conducted themselves with poise and grace.

After meeting each other, the group made their way towards the ancient castle.

Alice was also very surprised.

She knew the Mind Reading Technique and could sense the goodwill or malice from others.

She had originally thought it would be a formal and somewhat awkward Alliance meeting.

But unexpectedly, she encountered the young Miss of the Lionheart Family and in just a few words, the atmosphere turned friendly, like that of friends, and not so distant after all.

Alice had a very good impression of Catherine, who was not only a woman but also a leader of wisdom and decisiveness.

Since she and Leonard Churchill were already acquainted, they walked behind together.

Alice curiously asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, is Miss Carter your…?”

It seemed like gossip,

but in reality, the question was important.

It was about the cooperation that would follow.

She could trust her life-saving benefactor, but that didn’t necessarily apply to others.

Leonard knew why she was asking and assured with certainty, “A trustworthy friend.”

Alice smiled meaningfully, “Oh.”

Ahead, as Catherine listened, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

…

The forces of the Card Master Federation from the East Continent, led by the Lionheart Family, are now called “Allied Forces” on the Old Continent.

The arrival of Alice and Allen was top secret.

Only a few at the top were aware of it.

Nevertheless, their arrival caused quite a stir.

Currently, the Allied Forces were no match for the Ariel Empire of the Southern Continent in direct combat. Aside from their insufficient strength, the most critical problem was their almost complete lack of knowledge about the enemy.

Even though they had captured some prisoners at a great cost, the intelligence they gathered was very limited.

But all the more for this reason did the Allied Forces need to grasp enemy intel as soon as possible.

Only then, in the full-scale war to come, could they gain some initiative.

So in the recent guerrilla warfare, although the Allied Forces took the offensive, they were also repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

However, it was in their darkest hour that the turning point came most unexpectedly.

And fortunately.

Even Catherine hadn’t anticipated that while they were still deploying spies to infiltrate the enemy ranks, prepared to pay a hefty price for intelligence…

it was the communication from a certain individual that changed the tempo of the war.

While their own spies were still in training, Leonard had already brought back reliable and detailed intelligence.

It could be said that Leonard alone had accomplished the work that the entire intelligence system wouldn’t have managed in several years.

That intelligence even meant saving countless lives.

The two individuals Leonard brought back were not only knowledgeable about detailed intelligence on the Southern Continent but also possessed many Super Tier insights and secrets of the missing history of the Old Continent…

All of which were of vital importance and urgently needed by the Allied Forces.

Most importantly, behind Alice were the “Rebel Dragon Army”!

This was a powerful ally.

…

Underground, within the rundown fortress.

This was one of the secretive strongholds of the Lionheart Family.

For safety reasons, there was no opulence in the surrounding structures.

The living conditions within the fortress were also kept very basic.

But after Catherine learned of Princess Alice’s identity from Leonard, she organized a welcome banquet for the distinguished guests, with only the top commanders in attendance, even with limited facilities.

Leonard had no interest in banquets.

But it was a necessary etiquette of the upper-class society.

Alice and Allen appreciated the kindness and warmth, and both host and guests were in good spirits.

There was no rush with the intelligence. The two would stay as guests with the Allied Forces for a considerable period in the future.

Moreover, Alice and Allen had suffered enough in the slave camps, and after traveling continuously these past few days, they needed rest now.

After the banquet, they retired early to their rooms.

In the banquet hall, where the attendees had dispersed,

and no outsiders remained, Catherine and Leonard chatted while eating.

“Leonard, I find that every time I meet you, you always bring me surprises,” Catherine said.

“Heh heh.”

“If you’re not in a hurry, could you stay for a few more days?”

“I might have to leave. I have some things to attend to.”

“Oh.”

The table was laden with fruits of red, green, and yellow; there was also golden, juice-dripping roasted chicken, crispy suckling pig, and aromatic roast meat…

Although the surroundings were modest, the chefs were noble cooks.

Having almost become sick of the military rations he’d been eating lately with the Thorny Snake Corps, Leonard savored the array of exquisite food with relish.
