Chapter 242: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 45
It was about an hour later that Natas returned from his reconnaissance.
Upon seeing Natas, Kayn went to a corner to act as if he is taking care of something personal so that Gilbert and the others won't follow him.
Natas soon sat beside him.
"It's nothing. They are just trying to distract us from what we are doing," Natas informs.
"How many are there?" Kayn wanted to know their numbers in order to confirm if that's really the case.
"Close to a hundred,"
"A single company, I see,"
"Though there are ten elite members and one executive amongst them,"
"That explains why they are doing this," Kayn finally realized that the company of soldiers is now trying to redeem themselves after failing to save Chief Kody and Chief Kellan. They're probably afraid that if they return empty-handed they would be punished by Chief Kylo and possibly even get sent to their own deaths.
"We can easily eliminate them if you want. Our numbers are more than enough to completely eradicate them and solve the problem they might cause to us," Natas suggested.
Kayn thought of something. "Or we can use this opportunity for something else,"
"I don't like the look on your face,"
Kayn signals for Gilbert to come close.
"Is there something you need?" Gilbert raised his eyebrow.
"Do you want to escape from this boring job and do something exciting?" Kayn
"I don't like the way this is going," Gilbert can already feel that Kayn is going to bring him to do something extremely dangerous.
Natas can't help chuckling at the side as he muttered. "See,"
"I am not going to lie, we will have to face something dangerous,"
"You're telling the truth?" Gilbert suddenly felt slightly relieved.
"Does that mean you're in?" Kayn can't believe it was that easy to persuade Gilbert.
"I guess…"
"Idiot!" Natas could only offer his sympathy to Gilbert.
"But first, we'll have to go to someone to get a disguise,"
…..
Later in the evening, Kayn and Gilbert are currently running for their lives as they are being chased after by Jericho and the others.
"How is this just dangerous," Gilbert felt like crying loudly.
At this moment, they are wearing the disguise of someone that seems to be a member of the Assembly of Freedom as they let Jericho and the others chase after them while they are making a run in the direction of the forest.
"Don't let them go!" Jericho screamed loudly — in joy.
"They are enjoying this!" Gilbert exclaimed at Kayn.
"Let them be for now," Kayn smile cunningly.
"I feel like I just made the wisest decision of my entire life," Gilbert glimpses at Jericho and the others who seem to be having the best blast of their entire lives.
Kayn and Gilbert soon jumped on top of the wall.
"Fire!" Jericho ordered Jude, Miya, and Amy to fire long ranged attack in the direction of Kayn and Gilbert.
Since they were just pretending to attack the duo, they made sure to miss all the attacks. Albeit just a bit.
"They're definitely going to pay for this!" Kayn is now slightly regretting his decision of doing this job himself.
What they are honestly doing right now is very simple. It is the old and most familiar strategy that the Assembly of Freedom did to the Green Horn City — infiltration.
He and Gilbert would enter the Assembly of Freedom wearing a disguise using the company that came to the Dream Village to try and save Chief Kody and Chief Kellan.
That company has an Executive with them and some elite members, making them a crucial part of the Assembly of Freedom's army. So, he doesn't believe they'll get severely punished if ever they returned without Chief Kody and Chief Kellan back to their base.
Once they are inside the Assembly of Freedom, he'll make sure to pull the same stunt that Wesley tried to do to them. But unlike the latter, his attempt would for sure succeed.
Whoosh!
A sword wave came hurling behind Kayn and Gilbert before missing to the nearby ground.
"Damn them!" Gilbert cursed.
While Jericho, Jude, Miya, and Amy were throwing one range attack after another, Charles and the other close combatants are actually chasing after them.
"We about to reach the forest," Kayn tried to comfort Gilbert.
"Once we return from this mission, I'll make sure to make them pay," Gilbert swore.
"No need," Kayn guarantees that they'll for sure pay for this.
All of a sudden, dozens of arrows were shot from the forest toward the direction of Charles and the others who are chasing after Kayn and Gilbert.
"Here comes our reinforcement," Kayn smiles widely under the darkness.
As Kayn and Gilbert reached the forest, five Guardians passed by them and quickly made a wall with their shield to prevent Charles and the others from reaching them.
"This way!" A man covered in all black motioned his hand to Kayn and Gilbert.
"Understood!"
Kayn and Gilbert nodded.
Because the plan has already succeeded, Charles and the others only briefly fought back before eventually deciding to go back to the wall.
Kayn and Gilbert were absent from witnessing it as they trailed the mysterious figure dressed entirely in black, venturing deeper into the forest at the latter's lead.
"He's taking you both to their camp," Natas informs Kayn.
It didn't take that long for the trio to reach the camp.
"Wait here,"
The man signaled for Kayn and Gilbert to stop as he walked inside the tent of what seemed to be where their leader is temporarily residing.
Not long after, the man returned along with a muscular man.
"Is that them?"
"Yes, sir Seven,"
That's the name of the Executive.
"Alright," Seven nodded. "You may go back to your position, I'll take care of this matter,"
"Understood," The man nodded before quickly leaving.
"You two, come inside," Seven motioned his hand to Kayn and Gilbert before walking back inside his tent.
Kayn and Gilbert closely followed after.
