The only real good news was that until the mission was completed, those members of the Fierce Beast Legion wouldn’t be able to leave either.
Creating a commotion is one thing.
Clearing the game is also a part of the fun.
Leonard Churchill also thought that completing this letter-delivery mission wasn’t the correct approach to clearing the game.
It was only a step in the process.
All the clues at present were pointing towards the final intel being “The Demon Clan’s Secret Passage”.
He had thought of other things.
Upon seeing this mission, a bolder plan appeared in Leonard Churchill’s mind.
The Fierce Beast Legion posed the greatest threat to him at the moment.
However, from another perspective, it could also be a boon.
The beasts were recruiting two hundred hunters with the aim to use them as bait.
So, in Leonard’s eyes, there was no better bait than the Fierce Beast Legion itself!
To protect that young master, they had to concentrate their forces.
Just like during the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth incident, a target this big would surely attract the majority of the demons’ attacks from within the Sawtooth Forest.
This was still the “Outpost Battle”.
This means there wouldn’t be too many of the Demon Corps on this side of the Sawtooth Forest yet.
According to the current information, they were lurking in the forest and also slowly infiltrating the Three Great Fortresses.
The reason they haven’t attacked yet is simply because they believed their invasion plans hadn’t been exposed and fortress infiltration had not met expectations.
But… what if these plans were exposed prematurely?
Leonard was certain that if the Demon Corps knew their plans had been exposed, they would have no choice but to attack the Three Great Fortresses prematurely, regardless of the consequences.
Otherwise, all their plans would have been in vain.
At that time, all the hidden demons will come out.
However, with the Fierce Beast Legion, a powerful army, active within the Sawtooth Forest, it would undoubtedly draw the attention of the main force of the demons firstly.
This could also be a golden opportunity for Leonard.
He was both bold and arrogant, but not blindly suicidal.
Because he already had a notion about clearing the game!
If everything went as planned, there was a high chance of making it through.
Because, the number of Demon Legion soldiers is limited!
Once a full-scale war breaks out and the Fierce Beast Legion draws the main force of the Demon Corps, the number of demons in other areas will substantially reduce.
For instance: near that secret passage!
From Leonard’s previous inquiries, he had gotten a clue about the location of the passage, it was near the “Desolate Spire”.
Anyone would know, such an important place would definitely be heavily guarded.
If he recklessly infiltrated, even with a relic-level cloak of stealth, Leonard didn’t have much confidence.
But right now, they had someone drawing the attention of the enemy,
What better opportunity could there be than this!
The only setback presently was that the strength of the monsters was still not sufficient.
The Alternate Dimension allowing adventurers to enter is definitely not sending them to their deaths.
It had evaluated that the number of people coming in would be able to deal with a corresponding number of monsters.
The current difficulty of ‘B-rank’ was certainly not enough to annihilate an elite legion-like the Fierce Beast Legion.
They needed something more challenging!
It would have been impossible to trigger such a plan in any other place.
But from his conversation with Mage Rolan, Leonard had picked up on an extremely important piece of information: the moment he died, the Meteor Eagle Fortress would ignite the flames of war.
The demons and the human side would know immediately that something was wrong!
This would be far more direct than delivering a message.
The moment the demons find out their plan has been exposed, they would certainly choose to attack prematurely.
The Alternate Dimension follows a random plot mode, so they can dig deeper into the mission they have been given!
With this in mind, Leonard looked at the elderly mage before him and said suddenly, “Mage Rolan, to be honest, our situation is probably more critical than you imagine. The Demon Legion is already spread throughout Sawtooth Forest. Based on my investigation,
I’m sure Thunderbolt Fortress has already been infiltrated by the demons… We simply do not have enough troops to defend the Northern Fortress.”
After pausing for a bit, he continued, “Even if I were to deliver the message now, disregarding whether it would be delivered successfully or not, the time taken for this process will allow the demons in other fortresses to prepare. And if I were to be exposed, we would lose the only upper hand we currently have…”
Mage Rolan seemed to understand the implication of his words.
After mulling it over for a moment, a relieved smile surfaced on his face, “Young man, you’re even bolder than I thought.”
Upon hearing this, Leonard didn’t say anything more.
It was enough that the old man understood.
Regardless of whether this Alternate Dimension was a parallel world or something else.
The role of this old mage was destined to be a tragic one.
And it made sense to make a choice from a rational standpoint now.
The longer they dragged it out, the worse the situation for the human camp in this third Holy Grail War would become.
Leonard’s hint was also very clear: once the old mage died, the message could be passed on the quickest.
Even if the old man didn’t agree,
Leonard was going to help him anyway.
But, it was evident that this Mage Rolan was broad-minded.
That pair of kind eyes looked at Leonard, evidently prepared to make a sacrifice.
But he suddenly asked a question not related to the mission, “If you were in the same situation, would you make the same choice as me?”
Leonard, under the old man’s wise gaze, didn’t think of the old mage as just an NPC.
This question seemed to be a collision between the wisdom and moralities of people from two different times and spaces.
He thought for a moment, answering leisurely, “If I were you, I would. But I am me. I will deal with any problem I encounter in my own way. My conviction does not change depending on the situation.”
Hearing his words, Mage Rolan smiled..
