Chapter 188: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 26
Two days quickly passed.
In those two days, Kayn kept going back and forth between the camp and the Drowsy Village to gather as many supplies as he would be needing in the upcoming war.
At the same time, he also went grinding for experience points along with Gilbert, Jude, and Charles since they have to keep up with Friedrich and the others who are already level 50, especially him, as he is still far from the average level of everyone in the group. He might have been able to pull off an attack that was capable enough to kill a Mountain Gorilla, which was honestly great, but there's still a lot of potential left for him that will allow him to execute something even greater.
He is still not content with what he currently has, so he is doing something about it.
In the end, he leveled up four times, making him level 30 now. In those four levels, he earned twenty-five more Stats Points which he set aside for future use.
On the evening of the second day, everyone made sure to be present in what is now known as Evergreen Village. It was Gnarlak's Village.
The reason why Gnarlak named his Village the Evergreen Village is that he and his people are a collective group of green Goblins whose hope for renewal never died throughout the years of being trapped in the Mountain Monkey's Lair.
It was a fresh start, he said.
"Tomorrow morning everyone from the Green Horn Village will arrive. From then on, we will be in full preparation for the war against the Assembly of Freedom led by Chief Kylo," Kayn began his opening statement.
"There have been dozens of news that Jericho has received," Kayn looks at Jericho who he also invited as he is their ally, thus the latter naturally has to be present tomorrow to greet the arrival of Old Chief George, or to be precise, Old Mayor George. "That members of the Assembly of Freedom has been scouting the territories around the Slumbering Forest,"
"They have also spotted a camp which his men claimed to possibly be the main base of operation of the Assembly of Freedom in the Slumbering Forest,"
"As we have planned, they have accepted our invitation to war!" Kayn exclaimed.
"It wasn't us that wanted this war, but we are more eager to have it than them," Kayn suddenly formed a mischievous smile on his face. "What they don't know is the entire Slumbering Forest has already been turned into a trap. And an even greater surprise awaits them during the war,"
The Kraken!
He is confident that the moment they blow up the surface that covers the underwater cave system, it would instantly disturb the Kraken and cause havoc in the Slumbering Forest.
Just like what he said not long ago, "Chaos is their friend. The more chaotic it is, the better it is for them,"
Everyone was aware of what Kayn meant, so they also felt excited about it.
"Tomorrow, I will have to relinquish my command to Old Mayor George. Everyone will listen to his order, and whatever he decides to do, we must follow and execute it," Kayn truly doesn't want it. But he has to do it whether he likes it or not. "I'll still stay as the leader of this group, just that it will be limited to small-scale operations, which will also depend on what Old Mayor George assigns us,"
"Am I included?" Jericho can't help asking.
"We'll talk about that later," Kayn has a special task for Jericho, and he'll be informing the latter about it once the meeting is over.
Everyone continued discussing different matters that are going to be required tomorrow. The meeting only ended when it was close to midnight.
"So, what do you want to talk about that you need to meet me in secret?" Jericho muttered as he walked inside Kayn's hut.
Inside the hut were Gilbert, Jude, and Charles, Kayn's main party.
Kayn motioned his hand for Jericho to sit down.
"This is my main party," Kayn introduced to Jericho.
"I know," Jericho naturally already knew.
"But they don't," Kayn chuckled.
"Seriously?" Jericho was surprised as he looks at Gilbert, Jude, and Charles.
"Well," Gilbert scratched his head. He was originally one of Friedrich's men, but through his multiple interactions with Kayn, he slowly began leaning toward joining Kayn's group. It was something he decided after thorough consideration. The only concern is, he is in an awkward position since he is still officially part of the first squad of the Green Horn Knights.
"Kayn was originally part of my party, but now I decided to allow him to lead," Jude long already realized that his leadership skill is nothing compared to Kayn's. So, for his and Charles' benefit, he gave up on being a leader to Kayn.
"I only serve the strongest, and in this room, I believe Kayn is the strongest," Charles has a rather simple way of choosing who leads the party. If one is strong, they deserve to be the leader.
"So, what's this meeting all about?"
"You are a thief, so what do I need a thief in a meeting?" Kayn pushed a piece of paper to Jericho.
"The Kingmaker?" Jericho was very familiar with this weapon since it was the weapon that the leader of the Assembly of Freedom uses. "Don't tell me, you want me to steal the Kingmaker from the leader of the Assembly of Freedom?!"
"We will steal the Kingmaker from Chief Kylo. We only need the assistance of the leader of the thieves," Kayn clarified.
"Are you insane?!" Jericho couldn't be any more shocked than this. But inwardly, excitement was boiling hotter and hotter.
"Looking at your face, I know you also want to do this," Kayn smiles.
"Of course I do!" Who doesn't want to steal the weapon of the leader of the enemy camp? Anyone not in the right mind would practically think of doing exactly that! He just didn't think that Kayn would be one of those people.
"Then we will begin our operation tomorrow," Kayn ended their secret meeting.
Old Mayor George would still try to sort things out upon his arrival tomorrow. So, before the big event, he wants to pull a major stunt that can change the tide of war in their favor.
Moreover, Natas informed him that it would be a lot better for him if he possess the Kingmaker when the war ends because there are other benefits that he can receive other than unlocking the Kingmaker sword.
