Chapter 559: Chapter 192: Demon Slaying Hero
The scenery around changed as Leonard Churchill carefully read the Enlightenment that appeared.
‘You are now participating in the “Third Holy Grail War·Battle of Ironforge”
‘Current catastrophe is fourth-tier D-rank, death rate at difficulty level: 50.3%’
‘Space exploration progress: 26.3%’
‘Key Word: War Mode’
‘Clue: The Demon Corps of the Hell Lord has overrun several border fortresses in the Demon Mountain Range, the war has triggered; Ironforge is a major city in the border warfare of the Delaney Kingdom, it will be the key defense against the Demon Legion’s invasion.’
‘D-rank mission: You and your team mates are kingdom scouting soldiers supporting Ironforge from the ‘Falcon Hunter Legion’, you need to follow the commander’s arrangements, go out of the city to figure out the movements of the demon legion and send the intelligence back to Ironforge’
‘Tip: Rumors about the ‘Xismark Holy Grail’, which humans and demons have been fighting for thousands of years, have come to light, there seems to be the shadow of god behind this war between humans and demons.’
Upon the viewing of the Enlightenment, Leonard started hearing teammates discussing.
After all, this is war mode.
This wasn’t a scene that ordinary people would have experience with.
“It’s actually a war mode space! Damn it, how did I forget to ask about this during the task briefing? This is troublesome.”
“Tsk tsk, didn’t you think that the Lionheart Family is paying us a high security fee just to send us on a vacation? Only War Mode makes sense…”
“Hey, I heard that if you survive in War Mode, the probability of obtaining Rare Cards is really high. If we can draw a special card like the Space Transfer Card, we won’t have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives…”
“It won’t be easy to survive. This D-rank has nearly a 50% death rate, we still don’t know what level we’ll finally have to challenge.”
“Hard to say, but I guess at least it’ll be a B-rank difficulty. However, both the Lionheart and White Families have sent their elite forces, along with the Mammoth Squad, Bimon Squad, and Silver Crown, all super-teams. With those guys taking the lead, it may not be us that die…”
“True. It’ll depend on who’s luckier, and who can survive till the end.”
“…”
However, after seeing that it was War Mode, the hunters quieted down after a brief commotion.
This time it’s a large scale space with a thousand participants, recruiting three to four hundred wild team hunters.
But those involved are basically core members from various veteran hunter teams.
This is entirely different from the ragtag group recruited for the previous Outpost Battle, these are experienced, formidable old hunters.
Furthermore, the Lionheart Family have sent their official team and the elite members of the Mercenary Corps.
This is why so many experts are willing to participate in this mission, because they trust the premises.
By simply looking at the lineup, many have guessed that the difficulty of this space challenge would be high.
…
Compared to his teammates who were shocked, Leonard had already known that this War Mode was an Alternate Dimension encrypted by the Lionheart Family.
The mother of Tracy Garcia had already given him the latest detailed information.
The intelligence from the Enlightenment matched the information he had received.
He knew it by heart.
Leonard was also very clear that the people from the Lionheart Family were going for the Holy Grail, and they were bound to trigger higher difficulty missions this time.
At least it would be A-rank difficulty to have a slight chance of coming into contact with the Xismark Holy Grail.
But the number of participants is directly proportional to the difficulty of the Alternate dimension.
The more people there are, the higher the difficulty.
The highest triggered difficulty now is C-rank, with a death rate of over 70%.
B-rank has been triggered, it was a two-part mission, and no one survived.
That’s why so many experts were sent in.
The mother of Tracy Garcia especially instructed to come along this time because with those experts present, the hope of success would be greater.
But it’s not a big deal.
If the Holy Grail is not found this time, even if Leonard survives, his life will not last much longer.
So, he appeared utterly indifferent.
While thinking, Leonard’s gaze scanned the surrounding environment.
This “Ironforge City” was a black military city.
The city wasn’t too big, but there were a lot of blacksmiths.
Because there was a quality iron ore vein in the nearby mountains, this city was also a very important military production site of the Delaney Kingdom.
“Consider the current information, the rumors about the ‘Holy Grail’ appearance was near the Ghost Wind Mountain. Could it be false information spread by Non-Player Characters?”
Leonard remembered the intelligence from Tracy Garcia’s mother.
The Lionheart Family had explored this dimension four times, and the clue about the possible appearance of the Holy Grail pointed towards the mine.
This is the advantage of having intelligence support.
To originally find this out, one would have to expend a lot of manpower and time looking for NPCs to converse with in the city to speculate little by little.
But now he knew in advance, saving a lot of energy.
And the main plot was also clear.
But knowing this, Leonard was skeptical about the information.
This “Battle of Ironforge” is just a special battle in the Holy Grail War, and it’s not yet time for a full-scale war.
The plot difficulty previously triggered in this dimension is just B-rank, normally the information that appears could be misleading.
Therefore,
He needs to find a different path.
Find some non-conventional ways to trigger the plot.
The map of this time’s dimension is almost endless, it’s not realistic to search blindly.
He needs some non-conventional sources of information.
Thinking along these lines, a sharp gleam crossed Leonard’s eyes.
His gaze fell upon the distant outskirts of the city, as if looking for something.
