Chapter 230: Chapter 107 Red Baron_2

As Leonard Churchill pondered this, he quietly murmured to himself.

He had personally witnessed the combat power of the Fierce Beast Squad’s five-member elite team.

Even when faced with a second-tier Catastrophe, such a team could put up a fight.

He didn’t expect them to be killed so easily.

“Over five meters tall, extremely fast short-distance dash, commanding

Hellfire with rule suppression, exceptional strength, remarkable defense … no weaknesses.”

After examining the surrounding battle traces, Leonard gathered many useful clues.

Based on these abilities, none of the second-tier A-rank Demon Commanders who showed up had these skills.

So it could only be the ‘Red Baron’.

“Quite tricky…”

Having reached this conclusion, Leonard realized he could not combat this monster.

Despite this conclusion, the corner of his mouth curled up and he thought: “But Young Master Kane probably has many life-saving tricks up his sleeve, I wonder if I can take him down…”

The previous second-tier Demon Commanders could not do anything to Young Master Kane.

The current enemy, though, seemed to be a match.

The demon’s individual combat power is unarguable; it is the supreme existence in the Alternate Dimension.

Leonard estimated this to be a second-tier S, or perhaps a third-tier Catastrophe.

But the Fierce Beast Legion surely had many life-saving cards and ancient relics in their possession.

A loss was not inevitable.

If these two didn’t clash, Leonard would find it too boring.

Thinking of this, he tidied up the battlefield and continued searching through the forest.

He believed he needed to help the Demon Corps locate this group.

The smell of a corpse could travel dozens of kilometers in the forest, especially the smell of human corpses.

Leonard relied on his werewolf’s superior sense of smell, tracking the scent trail.

It took him half a day.

He found the third, fourth, and fifth… battlefield.

Having seen more and more battlefields, the clues in Leonard’s mind became more clear.

He took out paper and pen and sketched a rough map of the military area he had seen.

Then he marked the various locations of the discovered battlefields, as well as the trajectory of the five-man squad’s escape on the map.

All these signals indicated that those small squads are not running wildly, instead, they are well commanded.

Serving as bait to protect Young Master Kane’s escape.

Leonard, now highly familiar with corpses, could just examine the level of rigor mortis and the body temperature and deduce the exact time of death.

Once he figured out the time and route, many things fell into place.

“First they fled to the northeast corner… then they looped southeast, and then headed to the north?”

Leonard looked at the map he had drawn, his initial reaction being confusion.

Upon further thought, it all became clear.

He deduced several possible escape routes for Young Master Kane.

But the most probable one led to the northern Wailing Abyss.

“Now the Demon Legion is pressing close to Thunderbolt Fortress, so the base camp near the Wailing Abyss is safer? The cunning commander is using the ‘the most dangerous place is safest’ plan? Tsk tsk if it weren’t for me, perhaps this plan might have actually let you successfully escape…”

Leonard believed that he too would react this way were he in their situation.

The intelligence of the Superior Demon is not low compared to a normal human. If one only flees towards safer regions, the enemy could also guess such an obvious intent.

The slaughtered five-man squads were perfect examples.

But actually, these were all ‘baits’ to confuse the demons.

A risky military strategy.

Leonard guessed that Young Master Kane’s team had headed north!

With enough ‘baits,’ this is actually the safest choice.

If they kept hiding like this, they might actually survive for three days.

After all, the Demon Corps did not know that these humans were decoys for Young Master Kane.

Leonard smiled as this thought crossed his mind.

Pity that I do know.

He also prepared to take a chance.

What if he were to really encounter them?

Leonard is not sure his judgement is entirely correct.

But at least he now had a direction.

He started to search based on the direction he speculated.

To his surprise.

As he was heading north, he heard sounds of battle coming from the south, near the forest of Thunderbolt Fortress.

The commotion was immense.

Even from a great distance, Leonard could see the raging fire.

If it had been before, Leonard would have been interested in investigating.

But now that he has determined his path, he is even more certain about his judgment.

This diverting plan is a sacrifice to protect the king, so someone has to be decoyed to attract the monster’s firepower, tearing the siege circle, and confusing the enemy.

The ones who would now expose themselves would not be Young Master Kane and his party.

It must be the bait.

Leonard did not need to make detours while being alone, so he moved quickly.

Was it because his luck was too good,

or was Young Master Kane just unlucky?

Two hours into his journey through the dense forest, Leonard spotted something unusual in the woods.

This woodland area on the map is marked as the “Whirlwind Sandstone Forest.”

Due to constant gusty winds, a large surrounding area was sandy and would leave obvious traces when stepped on.

But this area is also a necessary route to the north.

Leonard believed that those guys wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake, so they would definitely bypass the sandy area.

That’s the route Leonard chose too.

As he continued, he accidentally stumbled upon a faint human footprint.

There was some sand drifting around the area. With a large group of people present, it’s unavoidable to leave some trac
