Alison didn’t want to be outdone: “Let me do it.”

She looked at Leonard Churchill and said, “I’m a ranger, I have a high chance of discovering the assassin’s tracks. If I were to play the bait, he would definitely try to kill me.”

Rangers and assassins are both card masters on the same ‘2nd Fallen’ path, and some of their vocational skills even overlap.

The assassin, in order to kill, would indeed potentially prioritize her.

But Leonard Churchill still shook his head: “You might be able to do it. But there is uncertainty. The guy might not attempt to assassinate you first. Moreover, he could miss his shot, but we only have one chance. We must eliminate all uncertainty and give the assassin a must-choose option. Hearing this, the expressions of Liam Martinez and the others were stunned, wondering among themselves: what was this ‘must-choose’ option for the assassin?

Leonard Churchill continued, “Also, regardless whether it’s you or me, as card disciples, almost certainly we wouldn’t survive an assassination attempt by a First Tier Assassin. Therefore, the most suitable bait can only be Miss Tracy Garcia. She is a doctor, and also a formal Curse Card Master, if the assassin knows, he would definitely choose to kill her first.”

Which role is the most important in a team?

The Black Knight?

The Ranger?

Or the weak Gunman?

No!

When fighting in the wilderness, it has to be the Healer.

Even if she’s not the weakest one, the assassin would surely take out the healer first.

It’s only this way a team would lose its ability to sustain combat.

An injury would mean a reduction in number, a serious injury would mean death.

Hearing this, Tracy Garcia understood immediately and resolutely responded, “Okay!”

But as she spoke, she glanced at Leonard Churchill through the corner of her

eye.

Although it makes sense, something seems a bit weird.

You’re suggesting that I act as bait, couldn’t you be more tactful about it? Ordinarily under this kind of situation, gentlemen should at least step forward to try, right?

Like how Liam Martinez did just now.

This Spirit Communicator lady muttered in her heart: Mr. Leonard Churchill is really… too straightforward.

After Leonard Churchill had spoken, both Liam Martinez and Alison, although they both wanted to undertake the dangerous task of being the “bait” for the sake of their teammate, they didn’t say anything.

Liam Martinez and Alison both thought Leonard Churchill’s words were too blunt.

But they understood.

Such rationality that ordinary people could match, was also the most ideal attitude to handle danger.

Without question!

There’s no need for indecisiveness on battlefield.

They were confident that if Leonard Churchill thought he was the most suitable one to act as bait, this guy would undoubtedly act as bait without the slightest hesitation.

Just like how he assassinated the B-rank Catastrophe previously. Despite the fact that he was just a card disciple, one who would almost certainly die if he bumped into the Werewolf Commander.

Yet he did it without any hesitation.

Because he was aware that only he had the ability to stealthily approach the monster and kill quickly in the end.

Otherwise, that artefact scalpel, regardless of who among the other three held it, none would have been able to complete this plan.

Indecision, compassion for teammates, worry for oneself… all these are

unnecessary.

He even kept his plan a secret from his teammates.

He just quietly executed it.

Because he knew, only he could execute it.

Telling his teammates would only waste time and distract them,

And served no purpose.

This absolutely rational judgement and decision-making ability, though seemingly lacking emotional finesse, was actually a great wisdom. As Liam Martinez and Alison looked at Leonard Churchill again, they suddenly felt that it wasn’t surprising that he had such formidable problem-solving skills.

They seemed to discern an intense contradiction in Leonard Churchill. He was undoubtedly rational but he harbored a reckless challenge towards death.

His numerous actions were like gambling with his life, betting he won’t make a mistake.

It was a kind of hysterical arrogance.

Rational, arrogant, fanatic, and unique.

He was truly special.

The initial Werewolf Infector hiding in Townsend Town had already moved, so now it was safer out here than inside the mine.

Also, because most of the werewolves inside the mine were exterminated earlier, they didn’t have to worry about attacks from all directions all the time anymore.

The occasional one or two who managed to escape were easily dealt with.

The four of them continued their journey.

They quickly reached the second level of the mine shaft.

Leonard Churchill was not certain when the assassin would strike.

So he and the bait entered their roles ahead of time.

Liam Martinez and Alison were still the front line, clearing the path. Miss Tracy, the doctor, was supporting a man who was pretending to be seriously wounded.

Leonard Churchill was unceremonious, wrapping his arm around Tracy’s neck, with almost half his body leaning on her.

It wasn’t that he was taking advantage of the lady with a bun.

But rather, it was to reduce the exposure of a potential fatal spot on her. Assassins typically use two methods for assassination, “Backstab” and “Throat-slit”, targeting the heart and the throat, deadly and swift. Now, with Tracy’s neck blocked by Leonard Churchill’s arm, the assassin could only backstab.

But Tracy had put on an extra layer of inner armor and concealed a Heart-guarding Mirror under the back of her clothes.

This way she could ensure that, even if she was ambushed, it wouldn’t be fatal. Occasionally, she would pour a Willpower Potion on Leonard Churchill’s wound, intermittently revealing that she was a “doctor”.

Leonard Churchill was an experienced actor and wouldn’t show any flaws. Tracy Garcia was on the other hand naive by nature, and wouldn’t normally be good at acting.

But at this moment, she didn’t seem to be pretending, she was genuinely caring and conscientious in treating Leonard Churchill’s wounds.

As they were moving, Leonard Churchill seemed to remember something, he took out an Equipment Card sealed with Frost Knight Armor from the card slot and handed it to Tracy who was supporting him, saying, “Keep this card. If the monster becomes too strong, consider putting it on according to the situation.” This was the Armor of the Frost Knight.

Leonard Churchill had sold almost all the previous Spoils of War, he only kept two sets of armor.

One set for himself.

And the other set was intended as spare parts in case his got damaged..
