Capítulo 1192: Chapter 415

The question from the “Card King” immediately silenced the hall. After a long pause, an 8th Rank Card Master hesitated and said:

“I think our current situation is actually a good thing for us.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on him, and he hurriedly explained:

“As they say, failure is the mother of success. I’m not trying to save face here, but we have to admit that one failure can help us see the real issues clearly.

Moreover, everything about the enemy this time is unknown to us, and to encounter them for the first time and manage to end in a draw with no severe losses, while gathering substantial intelligence, is actually a gain, isn’t it?

After all, we didn’t lose any of our fundamental Card Masters this time.

It was just some cards that were lost, and we’ve accumulated tons of corresponding materials over the years due to the lack of large-scale wars.

Plus, with the materials we’ve acquired from the enemy this time, can we really say we’ve suffered a loss?”

Though it seemed like a self-excuse, similar to the motivational words he used earlier to boost other members’ confidence,

the “Card King” had to admit that he made a valid point.

Even after other Contractors completed all intelligence, when truly facing Fan Mao of the Insect Clan, their power still surprised him.

Not to mention, several problems arose with the intelligence they provided.

During the inquiry, he even used a special lie-detection card to confirm that the parts of intelligence clearly stated by those Contractors were indeed not lies.

Yet despite this, many pieces of intelligence were still off-target.

Especially the main battlefield below. They had made the best arrangement based on Fan Mao’s combat power, but during the battle, Fan Mao unexpectedly displayed power far beyond the intelligence.

If it weren’t for Fan Mao’s sudden demonstration of that support summoning ability, if it weren’t for those special turrets never mentioned in previous intelligence, they would not have suffered defeat so quickly.

Giving everyone time to think deliberately, this 8th Rank Card Master continued:

“Think about it, what exactly did we lose this time?

Isn’t it intelligence?

When it comes to power, we would never concede. As Card Masters, we are never afraid of the number of enemies.

Otherwise, boss, you wouldn’t have led us to ultimately annihilate the last beast swarm of this world.

Now that we have the correct intelligence, as long as we plan properly, are we afraid we won’t win?”

“Let me clarify; you can’t blame me for the intelligence. It all came from him. I was just the messenger.”

Clearly, this 8th Rank wanted to pin the blame on the intelligence aspect.

The Contractors from Dreamland, fearing being blamed, quickly excused themselves, pointing to the Inverted from Holy Paradise beside them.

“I, my intelligence was all gathered at the cost of life by our Paradise!

Whether it was the time I personally fought Fan Mao or the numerous times our Paradise clashed with Fan Mao, using the sacrifices of other Contractors to gather intelligence, it couldn’t possibly be faulty!

Back then…”

Hearing the blame shifted to him, the Inverted panicked, knowing that if the “Card King” decided to act against him, he wouldn’t have a chance to retreat as he did against Fan Mao.

The power from the 8th Rank wouldn’t give him any chance to escape.

Just as the Inverted tried hard to explain, the “Card King” waved his hand, interrupting his further attempts to speak.

“Alright, I know this has nothing to do with you.”

Stopping the Inverted’s explanation, the “Card King” turned again to look at the 8th Rank Card Master from earlier:

“So, what ideas do you have? Among us, you had the most ideas at the time, enlighten us.”

“To defeat the enemy, we must first find their weaknesses and leverage our strengths.

Blindly targeting the enemy’s strengths isn’t bravery; it’s recklessness. To put it bluntly, it’s foolish.

The individual strength of the Insect Swarm under Fan Mao certainly surpasses our cards; that cannot be denied.

If it’s one-on-one, we currently have no equal-rank cards to match them.

But don’t forget our advantage as Card Masters…”

“Are you suggesting…”

With his reminder, the “Card King” lifted an eyebrow, guessing his intention.

“Exactly!

As Card Masters, our greatest advantage is our cards. As long as we prepare in advance, the combat power we unleash is unparalleled!

If the Insect Swarm wants to invade our world, they’ll have to disperse their power and couldn’t carry those mighty turrets around.

We can rely on the burst capability of our cards to swiftly form an army, create a temporary many-against-few scenario, and annihilate them quickly.

Even with formidable support capabilities, we’ve already successfully wiped out a batch of their troops!

And if we’re lucky, we might take out those of the 8th Rank!

Besides, who’s to say our cards can’t match Fan Mao’s underlings?”

This 8th Rank Card Master gazed fervently at the “Card King,” reminding him of his past.

Recalling the times when he was weak, facing one enemy after another with these friends, no matter how powerful, he could craft corresponding cards with his smarts to defeat the enemies.

But ever since becoming the strongest, he hadn’t had a similar experience in ages.

When was it that he even forgot Card Making, something he was most skilled at…

The “Card Saint” clenched his right hand, with the fire rekindling in his heart. At this moment, the “protagonist’s halo” on his panel reignited.
