Chapter 289: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The? Bridge' Part 92
As soon as Wesley gave the Kingmaker to Kayn, the Guardian instantly understood why Wesley can't vouch for him. It's because even his position depends on whether Kayn wants him to continue living or not.
"You swore allegiance to him through the Kingmaker?" The Guardian can already guess what happened.
"You see, Kayn values loyalty amongst everything in this world. As long as you're loyal to him and doesn't have any chance of even betraying him, he will let you live," Wesley's mouth twitched. "At least as long as you have a purpose,"
"Exactly," Kayn confirmed. "You have to also know your place and responsibility,"
"I…" The Guardian is very much aware that he can't pull that off. He can't even follow simple orders from Garvin. That's because he likes doing things in his own way.
"That's why," Wesley waves his hand, taking out an Undead Apple from his Storage Ring. "You have to eat this and die in order for you to be able to join our side,"
"You must be insane!" The Guardian was shocked.
"Then, I guess you'll only be fulfilling the dying part," Wesley pulled away the Undead Apple.
"I am still going to die if I take that," The Guardian wasn't a fool. Being under the charm of Wesley is no different from being dead since he won't have freedom to do everything that he wants. "And what's up with the dying part? You might as well say that we will die because it is impossible,"
"I think you've misunderstood," Wesley shook his head. "You're gravely mistaken if you believe the only purpose of the Undead Apple is to make you fall victim to my charm. That's not even its main use,"
"What do you mean?"
"Just from the name itself, it implies Undead,"
The Guardian instantly realized. "You don't mean that by eating the Undead Apple before getting killed we will return back to life,"
"Not back to life, but become Undead,"
"Undead?!" The Guardian started fumming in rage and anger.
"So, it is true! You are a blasphemy in the name of the God of Light!" The Priest exclaimed loudly.
The God of Light she was referring to was one of the Gods inside the 'Tower' who is one of the main providers of strength for the people who picked the Priest class. Unlike the other class, the strength and power of the Priest class comes not only from their levels and weapons, but also from their faith and belief.
"Actually, it isn't. In fact, I am no different from a Priest like you,"
"No different?! Don't even put me in the same level as the likes of you!" The Priest felt insulted.
"People don't usually think about this, but Necromancers are also Priest, just that they are late healers," Wesley chuckled.
"Extremely late healers," Gilbert corrected while also letting out a laugh.
"Exactly, since they heal you when you are about to reach the border of life and death, hence why you are called a living corpse," Jericho added.
Jude, Charles, and Emmet can't help letting out a laugh as well.
Listening to Jericho's group laughing at their miserable situation simply serves as fuel to make them lose their minds.
"Ahhh!" The Guardian exclaimed loudly as he waves his sword to Wesley.
Clang!
A bullet parried the sword, which causes it to barely miss Wesley.
"That was dangerous, you know!" Wesley started breathing loudly after nearly dying. "Just kidding,"
They were already prepared for it. That was why they are purposely drivign the trio nuts.
"Stop wasting time and let's take care of them so that we can return to the wall," Kayn can't be bothered by them anymore. He waves his hand and stored the Kingmaker inside his Storage Ring again before walking away.
No matter how hard those people think that they can survive in their situation, it is impossible. Just the fact that Wesley was even able to pull the Kingmaker with his mere hands away from the Guardian's hand is already a proof alone that they are lost cause.
"Make sure to bring their corpses so that we can show them to Garvin," Their situation is still grave since Lilith hasn't returned yet. So, he has to continue finding ways to delay the Freedom Fang Brigade's assault to the Dream Village, particularly Garvin.
Even though Natas has mentioned that they'll only attack them again tomorrow, that isn't certain because at any given moment the messenger carrying news from the headquarters could likely arrive.
Not long after Kayn arrived back at the north wall, Jericho and the others soon followed.
"Their corpses are inside," Jericho threw a Storage Ring to Kayn.
Kayn caught the Storage Ring and right away confirmed the presence of the corpses of the Freedom Fighters inside.
"What do you plan on doing to them?" Wesley asked in concern. Although they are now enemies, they were still his comrades at one point in time and had helped him in numerous occasions. "If it's okay with you, after you achieve your purpose, I would like to bury them myself,"
"Alright," Kayn understood and respected Wesley's decision. He also starts to slightly admire the latter's character. Although he had just betrayed his organization, he still values them to some extent and doesn't want to see their dead bodies being treated poorly.
Without further ado, Kayn exposed the corpses of the six members of the Freedom Fighters on top of the wall where Garvin or any members of the Freedom Fang Brigade could see them.
As expected, Garvin soon stood on top of their wall along with Ekin and Silas. Their faces couldn't be drawn as they express complicated emotions on their respective faces.
"Your plan has completely failed! And it cost you to lose six capable men from your brigade," Kayn announced. "I won't deny, they fought to their deaths in order to bring you the Kingmaker. But unfortunately, they fell to my trap,"
Kayn deliberately told a lie to Garvin and his men out of respect for Wesley. Though his main goal was to earn Garvin's respect.
He had learned from the Freedom Fighters that Garvin is a type of man with principles and loyalty to Chief Kylo. The latter isn't the same as the majority of members of the Assembly of Freedom who are self-serving and greedy. People like that, as long as one shows them dignity and class, they will respond similarly.
Garvin turned silently and accepted his loss.
