Chapter 977: Chapter 301 Swamp Encounters Sophia Jones Again_2

“K35” was one of the top military bombs on the East Continent, posing a substantial threat even to Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier card masters.

Currently, although there were quite a few card masters in the East Wilderness of the Old Continent, most people who might have this kind of bomb were in the Alliance Army.

Or maybe it was the Orlan Royal Family’s secret exploration team?

Leonard Churchill couldn’t figure it out.

But it didn’t take him long to find out who it was.

The Thorny Snake Corps’ Legion Commander, General Heman, along with another Seventh Tier Mercenary Group leader, personally went to exterminate whoever was in the swamp, so whoever was inside was highly likely doomed.

One hour later, a group of soldiers escorted out a dozen wounded prisoners from the swamp.

The prisoner walking in front was full of stubble, looking like a sloppy drunkard.

Leonard Churchill recognized him with surprise, “‘Broken Gunman’ Anlos?”

This wasn’t just anyone, he was a cadre of the Revolutionary Army who had shown up in the last battle before the Flood Gang was destroyed.

As Leonard Churchill looked at the other prisoners, he recognized several who were notorious criminals on the Federation’s wanted list and suddenly realized, “Does that mean, the people fighting in the swamp were from the Revolutionary Army?”

He could ignore the others, but there was a friend of Leonard Churchill’s in the Revolutionary Army.

If cadres like Anlos were captured, could Sophia Jones have also been there?

To have two Seventh Tier leaders personally go into an extermination campaign, there weren’t many card masters from the East Wilderness who could receive such attention.

It might really have been her!

Leonard Churchill’s brows furrowed, lost in deep thought.

He had previously asked Catherine Carter, who also wanted to cooperate and build an Allied Forces with the Revolutionary Army.

However, the Lionheart Family was an official mercenary force, and there had been numerous conflicts with the Revolutionary Army before, so they couldn’t reach an agreement.

But there was still some communication on intelligence sharing and supplies between the two sides, so it was understandable that the people of the Revolutionary Army might have “K35 bombs.”

But… what were the Revolutionary Army people doing here?

“Did Aunt Jones come for the White Family’s Relics?”

Leonard Churchill suddenly remembered the intelligence Aragon had given him.

Inside this Plague Marsh was a “Secret Tomb of the Immortal Aegis” belonging to the White Family.

Since Sophia Jones had acquired the White Family’s heritage, it made sense for her to come to the relics for something.

“This just became complicated…”

Leonard Churchill’s eyes trembled frequently.

Without Sophia Jones among the prisoners, there were still many uncertainties.

Had she not been captured, or had she been killed… or something else?

But with the two Seventh Tier leaders having gone for the hunt, no matter what, if Sophia Jones had come, she was definitely in a dire situation.

It was a pity he couldn’t contact her in advance.

The communicator was still a laboratory product, not yet mass-produced, which made information exchange a major issue.

Sophia Jones might have come to the Plague Marsh and possibly tried to reach out, but the “Joel” he had disguised himself as had already died.

Realizing this, Leonard Churchill started to churn thoughts rapidly, speculating on the situation.

Meanwhile, as the card masters from the Southern Continent were seeing the card masters from the East Continent for the first time, they were pointing fingers, full of curiosity.

“What’s the situation with these people?”

“A few card masters from the East Wilderness… These guys were sneaking around the marsh, and General Heman and the others just casually captured them.”

“Hey, Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier war slaves, they might sell for a good price.”

“…”

These people were just low-ranking soldiers; they didn’t have any valuable information.

After listening for a while, Leonard Churchill only confirmed one thing: the two Seventh Tier leaders, General Heman, did not return!

Moreover, the Thorny Snake Corps was planning to bring Toads into the swamp!

This also meant two possibilities: either a master had escaped and they were continuing to pursue, or there had been some major discovery in the swamp.

….

If Sophia Jones really did come, and she wasn’t dead, her situation was definitely not good.

Being hunted by two Seventh Tier leaders, even Barre Shepherd might not be able to escape.

Leonard Churchill didn’t know if he could be of any help.

But he was certain that he had to go take a look!

When he saw the prisoners being escorted back, those with keen instincts realized there were discoveries in the swamp, and some Mercenary Groups quietly broke camp.

Not waiting for the Viper Mercenary Corps to act, Leonard Churchill blended with the large troupe, quietly following along.

Then, when no one was paying attention, he decisively broke away from the group and rushed toward the depths of the swamp.

The Plague Marsh had been explored for many days, and adventurers had cleared several safe paths.

Leonard Churchill already had a detailed map woven from the information acquired these days in his mind – where the High Tier monsters were, where the lethal poison miasma lurked… he knew it all clearly.

Although it was his first time entering the Plague Marsh,

it was as if he was walking into his own backyard; Leonard Churchill encountered no danger, charging for tens of kilometers.

A faint scent lingered in the air, left behind by those who had escorted the war prisoners.

The sharp sense of smell of the Werewolf allowed Leonard Churchill to sniff out an accurate route.

However, he did not underestimate the higher-ups of the Thorny Snake Corps, who might have long suspected that a “spy” was already in their midst, just waiting to set a trap.

In the midst of the fog, Leonard Churchill suddenly stopped, realizing that following the scent so conspicuously could be too obvious, and pondered, “The source of the scent is to the northeast… If I were a Thorny Snake Corps leader, I would surely set traps along the way, waiting for someone to follow the scent to the rescue…”

The tracking method was direct, and if the enemy hadn’t anticipated this, then General Heman surely hadn’t learned his lesson.

With this in mind, Leonard Churchill rapidly went through the latest information he had acquired in his head, and based on the position of the previous battles and explosions, speculated, “If trapped, the most likely escape directions would be these. But one also has to beware of being surrounded by others and tracked by tracking series card masters… I can only choose the most dangerous areas… So, if it’s Aunt Jones, could she perhaps be near the ‘Tower of Breeze’?”
