Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1485: 455th Chapter: Leonard Churchill’s Brilliant Move, Dazzling Everyone Chapter 1485: 455th Chapter: Leonard Churchill’s Brilliant Move, Dazzling Everyone “I feel that Count Raphael’s Knights Group is not bad either–why do we only get rated B? Hmph! I want to see how formidable the reserve knights recruited by Duke Landon’s Mansion are this year…”

“Don’t even mention it, that squad might actually have some skills. You see, the team not only includes someone from the Lizard Race but also a Dwarf… Such mythical bloodlines naturally have an innate advantage at the Card Disciple tier. Not to mention, they are indeed capable of the strength rating A.”

“It’s Duke Landon founding a kingdom in the Old Continent, the Lizard Race and Mountain Dwarf Race see the opportunity for long-term investment… Heh, upstarts! Relying on this… I want to see, when facing the elite knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family, how much ability they really possess.”

“…”

Although everyone seated in the hall was a noble, there still existed differences in status.

Young Master Sack of the Duke’s family had a status slightly inferior to the princes and princesses of the three major Kingdoms.

Moreover, the favoritism of the “Fourth Kingdom” made the Landon Family the target of public criticism.

Thus, when Sack heard that others wanted to challenge his guard team, although his expression was not good, he was totally helpless.

Moreover, this year the founding of the Landon Family’s kingdom indeed also invited a great deal of animosity.

The new students in the grand hall, delighting in their misfortune, swarmed towards the Trial Field.

Everyone wanted to see the squad from Duke Landon’s Mansion embarrassed.

…

Meanwhile, Leonard Churchill and his five companions were in the preparation room of the Trial Field discussing tactics while dressing in their equipment.

There were supposed to be five members receiving the award, but in actuality, the squad consisted of six members.

They knew very well that without David, the entire squad would be like a dagger missing its tip, greatly reducing their combat power.

Since they were a six-member squad, the Red Dragon Royal Family team also agreed to a six-on-six.

This gave Leonard and his teammates real confidence in fighting a match.

Since it was a sparring match between students, it was necessary to ensure fairness, of course.

The Royal Academy prepared abundant training equipment for the students; the room was filled with various weapons, armor, and basic Curse Cards.

The two teams were about to compete while only being allowed to wear and use this Academy-provided equipment.

Leonard and his five teammates rather thought this was a good thing.

Speaking of equipment, though Duke Landon’s Mansion was not bad, it was still inferior to the three major Royal Families.

Especially concerning some Relic-Level equipment, Mystery Cards… If not restricted, it wouldn’t be a comparison of skill but a competition of resources.

Garfield was currently dressing in a set of heavy armor that he had chosen.

The armor was simple and not engraved with many Curses. However, the thickness of this basic armor correlated in proportion to its defensive capability.

This posed a natural advantage for the Dwarf Race.

He chose the heaviest set and wore it with ease.

Meanwhile, Gale was selecting his leather armor and dagger, David had no special needs concerning equipment and was sitting cross-legged gathering his strength.

Leonard and Serli were picking suitable Curse Cards.

[Fireball Technique], [Quicksand Skill], [Air Explosion], [Flash Technique], [Acid Splash]… all basic-level Cards.

But there were numerous Cards, covering almost all the basic Spells available on the market.

The Royal Academy was wealthy and powerful; these Cards were available for anyone proficient in using them.

Leonard also picked with interest.

After all, among these Cards, some he had never even seen before, were practical Spells optimized over the years by the Dragon-blooded Card Masters from the Southern Continent.

The room was filled only with the rustling sounds of equipment being worn.

Regarding the upcoming great battle, although the teammates were not fearful, their hearts were slightly apprehensive.

The combat power of the Red Dragon Royal Family’s Knights Team was known to all as genuinely one-in-a-thousand strong members.

Though Leonard and his five friends would still receive a reward even if they lost, it was indeed a matter of losing face.

Not just for them but also because of Young Master Sack’s trust.

Garfield, direct and outspoken, having dressed in a Bull Horn Helmet, asked, “Allen, Serli, you two are quicker thinkers than us, what do you suggest… how should we fight them?”

At his words, the others looked towards Leonard and Serli.

In these days of teamwork, it was always these two who made the decisions.

Serli was holding a series of Magic Wands, testing the effectiveness of the magic gathering, and upon hearing the question, casually said, “Winning will be difficult. Our opponents, that guard squad from the Red Dragon are the ‘Golden Sun Knights Group’ reserve knights. They pick one in thousand for both selection and training, and they all possess real combat experience. Their strength is formidable…”

At this, everyone frowned simultaneously.

The Golden Sun Knights Group was the direct legion of the Red Dragon Royal Family, their strength crafted from countless harsh battles. Even the reserve knights were one-in-a-thousand picks; no one doubted their strength.

But even so, the group was unwilling to lose.

Serli thought for a moment, then shared his thought, and added, “The strength of that squad, each member is no less than us. I think our only chance of winning lies with David…”

Speaking, he turned to look at David, who was still sitting cross-legged gathering energy, and said, “Your Fist Method has the ability to injure those of the Second Tier. As long as you can severely injure one or two, breaking their formation, we might have a chance.”

This was indeed the only possible chance of victory everyone thought of.

But the Red Dragon Royal Family’s Knights Group also had monsters, and even if David was strong, he wouldn’t be much stronger.

Jessica thought of something, her brows furrowing again, and said, “But… isn’t there a chance that the Red Dragon Royal Family already knows of David’s strength and might arrange tactics specifically against him?”

Upon hearing this, the previously silent Leonard finally spoke up, lightly chuckling, “Even if they didn’t know before, I feel… they might already know now.”
