Chapter 277: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 80
Kayn, Gilbert, and Wesley hurriedly left Freedom City.
Because of the influence they've built themselves over the time they've stayed in the Freedom City, as a result, they have already constructed a secret tunnel leading outside of the territory.
As soon as they got out, men under their charm were already waiting for them with horses prepared for their departure.
Even with their current level, running on foot to get to the Dream Village would still take a considerable amount of time compared to horses, especially high-level horses.
Before finally leaving, Kayn and Wesley both activated the charm they put on every single guard stationed on top of the wall. In this way, they were able to disappear without anyone seeing them.
The trio swiftly made their journey south, to the direction of the Dream Village.
Since they were using horses, it only took two hours for them to reach the Hush Village.
With the Hush Village in sight, they instantly slowed down and steer clear away from the perimeter of the Hush Village in order to avoid getting caught by their guards stationed on the walls.
They made their detour to the west as it was the safest direction to go considering that the east would lead to the Slumbering Forest where it is uncertain what both sides involved in the war are preparing.
"Should we go to the source of water for the moat first and reclaim it?" Gilbert can't help suggesting after noticing the direction they are going now.
Just a few kilometers to the west would be the river that supplies water to the moat surrounding the northern part of the Dream Village.
At this moment, the river is protected by members of the Assembly of Freedom, preventing anyone from the Dream Village from accessing the river.
"We don't have any Mages, so it would be impossible to destroy whatever they are using to block the river," Wesley objected. He can already guess the Assembly of Freedom has constructed a damn around the river.
"Nothing to worry about," Kayn took out a few dynamite.
"Arson, again? Seriously?!" Wesley can't help but be stupefied. Just how many times has it already been that Kayn used dynamites and burn down infrastructures for his purpose? "How about I suggest something else when we get there?"
"We're good," Gilbert directly rejected. He believes Kayn has another idea in mind, which is why he is using dynamites.
"Suit yourself," Wesley ceases persuading Kayn and Gilbert.
With the speed of their horses, it didn't take much longer for the trio to get to the river.
They immediately spotted the cause of the blockage of the river.
As expected, it was a dam.
A mini-size dam, to be exact.
They quickly disembarked on their horses in order to get a better view of the dam.
"This is perfect," Kayn muttered after analyzing the structure of the dam.
Gilbert understood.
"What do you mean?" Wesley wonders.
"You see the difference in the water level?" Gilbert pointed out. "Because they've built a dam, the water level of the west side is much higher compared to the east,"
"What about it?" Wesley still doesn't get it.
"Now, imagine what would happen if we destroy the dam," Gilbert chuckled. "It will create a big wave, strong enough to topple every single bridges and boats the Assembly of Freedom has prepared,"
"That…" Wesley finally understood why it is always better to use arson in this kind of thing. Destruction brings about more destruction. And in this case, the Assembly of Freedom would be suffering once more.
"They should have expected that this can become a dual-edged blade for them, so we have to tread carefully," Kayn reminded.
"No need," Wesley stepped forward. "It just so happens that I have a few men under my charm in their ranks,"
Not long after, ten men arrived in front of them and immediately kneeled down in front of Wesley.
"You can hand them the dynamites and leave the rest of the work to them," Wesley proudly uttered. With this plan, they won't have to do anything and could just simply watch as everything unfolds.
"Alright," Kayn doesn't see any problem with that. In fact, he prefers to do it this way. "But make sure to clean your own mess,"
"I'll just pull the same thing you did," Wesley smiles wickedly. He was implying back when Kayn made a lot of people do kamikaze in the Daze Village
"Do whatever you want," Kayn stepped aside and decided to leave everything to Wesley.
"Okay," Wesley started instructing the men on what they should do.
Without any objections, the men stuffed all the dynamites inside their clothes before leaving for the direction of the wall of the dam.
"All we have to do now is to wait,"
"Wait?" Kayn chuckled. "Hop on your horse, we will use the chaos as cover to get inside the Dream Village,"
"Seriously?!" Wesley hurriedly jumped on his horse.
Kayn, Gilbert, and Wesley quickly left the dam and went ahead in the direction of the Dream Village.
After a few minutes, a series of loud explosions echoed throughout the river, and a thick black cloud of smoke that pillars to the sky appeared.
A few seconds later, they felt the strong shockwave caused by the explosion, pushing some of the tall trees to the east direction while uprooting some small ones from the ground.
Soon following that was a powerful tremor that seems to be getting closer to them.
It was clearly the water being unleashed from the destroyed dam.
"We have to hurry!" Kayn exclaimed as he whipped the horse with its leash.
Nyeeh!
The three horses let out a painful cry before hurrying their footsteps.
As they looked behind them, they could see strong gushing water seemingly chasing after them a few hundred meters away.
"We won't make it in time!" Gilbert realized.
"We will!" Kayn started whipping his horse
As the horses galloped faster, their eyes soon caught sight of the Dream Village walls with some parts engulfed in flames and billowing columns of smoke. Small holes could also be seen around the walls, evidently from the successful assault of the siege machines.
Despite the onslaught from the Assembly of Freedom, the village stood resilient, its defenses still holding strong.
Looking up the walls, they could see dozens of men firing at the front with magic spells, arrows, and bullets. There were also some men hurrying to repair the damage to the walls.
Meanwhile, the forces of the Assembly of Freedom are slowly getting closer and closer to reaching the shore of the Dream Village using boats and bridges as means to approach.
