Enlightenment suddenly occurred.
This made Leonard Churchill and his team, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly become serious again.
But perhaps it was because Leonard had anticipated triggering the A-Level Plot beforehand.
Now that it had actually happened, aside from realizing the severe situation, they weren’t that surprised.
In addition, the content of Enlightenment directly confirmed Leonard’s conjectures as correct.
This somehow sparked in Tracy Garcia and the others an inexplicable confidence from somewhere.
The fact proved, some people’s conjectures were truly impressive.
They might not have understood the clue from Enlightenment that “would kill all demon hunters,” before.
But now Tracy and the others understood. Most likely, it was because of the contract they signed when they entered the town.
Only in this way, the Werewolf could identify the demon hunters among the vast Townsend Town.
In other words, if the three of them wanted to complete the game, they must survive three days under the hidden Werewolf’s hunt.
A deathly shadow suddenly enveloped the three.
They could have had confidence in overcoming a B-rank difficulty.
But an A-rank difficulty was beyond the capability of their team.
The eyes of the three naturally fell on Leonard Churchill.
The plot was going as he predicted, which made them realize his true precognition.
Meanwhile, they also understood the brilliance of Leonard’s “Annihilation Plan.”
It was fortunate that they had already killed most of the werewolves in the mine, otherwise the clue of “all werewolves entering a frenzy and bloodthirsty state” would indeed be enough for them to choke on.
Leonard looked at the burning gazes of the three at varying degrees, feeling a bit odd in his heart, as he guessed their thoughts.
In fact, he had not thought that much.
He had just deduced various possibilities, and his intuition told him that it would be better to get rid of the monsters in the mine first.
Tracy didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, what should we do next?”
Leonard thought for a moment and said, “The ‘original Werewolf infection’ should be that blacksmith, George. Since it’s an A-rank plot difficulty, he must also be an A-rank Catastrophe. We certainly can’t return to the town…”
As he spoke, he added, “Let’s go to the fourth layer of the mine. The key to breaking the situation should lie in that ‘Witch’s Secret Letter.’
In a plot mode, the key to breaking the situation must be within the plot.
“Mmm.”
Tracy and the others nodded and had no more questions.
But just as they were about to go, Leonard opened his mouth again: “Oh! There’s also something very important.”
Liam Martinez and the others turned their heads to look at him.
Leonard looked at Tracy, came up with something, and said, “I need a decoy.”
Tracy looked at his gaze on her and pointed to her own nose, “Me…?”
Liam and Alison also found it astonishing: a decoy?
“Mhm.”
Leonard did not beat around the bush, and directly explained, “The people from the Black Wolf Mercenary Group are still on the fourth layer of the mine. We must deal with that guy first. Otherwise, he will bring us unforeseen harm.”
Alison thought a bit and acknowledged, “Indeed.”
Someone had gone to trigger the A-Level plot.
That guy was definitely still in the mine now.
Liam guessed his plan and asked in confusion, “But why Little Garcia…”
Tracy also blinked, her expression seemed to say: What does that have to do with you wanting me to be the decoy?
Without wasting time, Leonard directly explained, “In such circumstances, if you want to pass through the monsters quietly and reach the fourth layer of the mine cave, that person from the Black Wolf Group must have some kind of Stealth-type Treasure. It might be a ‘Stealth’ type of artifact. There should not be many people, more than likely only one. Moreover, it should be a skillful assassin. Of course, if I’m not guessing wrong, it should be the guy called ‘Alex’ who is the captain of the 13th team of the Black Wolf Group.”
After a pause, he stated the reason why he needed a decoy, “If that’s the case, if we want to handle him, it must be a surprise attack. If not, an assassin lurking in the dark will pose a fatal threat to any of us.”
Upon hearing his analysis, the three were enlightened.
But how did you know his name without even having met him?
Leonard did not bother to explain that he had paid attention to everyone who came in previously.
With a little more thought, the three also understood why he said he needed a decoy.
A lurking assassin is unknown and unpredictable, without a decoy it would be hard to expose him.
And an assassin hidden in the dark is the nightmare of any card master of the same tier.
Just like Leonard had killed that B-ranked Catastrophe before, a skilled assassin can pose a fatal threat to a card master of a higher tier with an ambush.
Among the three, even Liam, a black knight, did not think he could certainly survive the ambush of an assassin.
Moreover, assassins have an agility that far exceeds card masters of the same tier, making it difficult for them to be caught even if they are exposed.
Furthermore, there’s still the Stealth-type Treasure.
To handle this hidden danger first, the idea of using a “decoy” is indeed the best choice.
Take the initiative to draw the assassin out, then kill him with one strike!
When not being a decoy has certain risks.
Liam didn’t think much, offering to take the risk instead, “I’ll be the decoy.”
He’s the strongest in the team, and it’s unreasonable to hide behind his teammates if in danger.
Hearing this, Leonard simply refused, “You can’t.”
Liam also knew why he said that.
Unless that assassin was an idiot, he probably wouldn’t choose to kill a heavily armored black knight as his first target.
In fact, even if he took off his armor to lure the enemy, it not only wouldn’t work but could cause the assassin to be alert.
