The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 252: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 55

Kayn and Gilbert quickly followed after Maria as they don't want to wait for Seven to do something to them before leaving his camp.

"Was that really okay, Madam Maria?" Kayn can't help asking Maria.

"Would you prefer that he does something to the two of you?" Maria assures them that it is fine. "Though you should make sure to protect yourself from Seven for one week in the Daze Village,"

"You're not going to protect us?" Gilbert expresses his worry.

"There would be times when I can protect you, but I also have to take care of my own matters so I cannot promise that I will be there all the time," Maria was also helpless about it.

"This…"

"That's enough, Gilbert," Kayn patted Gilbert's shoulder. "No one expected that things would turn out like this. So, we cannot blame anyone. Let's just say this is the price to pay for getting our position,"

"I understand…" Gilbert felt frustrated. He finally understood just how complicated the matters with the Assembly of Freedom are. Allowing such an organization to rule 'The Bridge' would no doubt be a nightmare for everyone. They have to absolutely make sure to destroy this organization from the inside and out.

Seeing Gilbert calming down, Kayn turn to Maria and asked. "So, where are we going now?"

Now that they have they've left Seven's company, they no longer can join them on the journey to Daze Village.

"We'll be going to the Daze Village now," Maria responded in a rush.

Perceiving a significant matter at hand, Kayn questioned, "Is there any crucial information we need to be aware of before we leave?"

"Prepare yourselves and expect that we'll be fighting a bunch of people,"

"I see…" Kayn instantly understood.

Gilbert smiles. Finally, he can release his pent-up frustration.

"Let's go!"

Following Maria, Kayn and Gilbert soon left the Hush Village and eventually entered the Slumbering Forest.

They travel north in order to reach the Daze Village which is hundreds of kilometers away from the Hush Village.

It was a long journey. But the distance is not the problem because, with their current levels, they can reach the Daze Village in less than one night. The trouble they'll be facing would be Seven's company.

Not long after they entered the Slumbering Forest, Kayn, Gilbert, and Maria instantly noticed a few people following them. They were significantly far away, so they can't do anything to them.

"I'll hunt them in the shadows, you two just continue north and make sure that you're prepared for their attacks," Maria informed them before leaving.

Maria possesses the Assassin class. So, fighting openly is not her style of doing things.

Kayn and Gilbert understood this, so they didn't complain. In fact, they prefer it this way so that they can start communicating openly. I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

The moment Maria left them, Gilbert immediately asked Kayn. "Are we seriously just going to let Maria destroy the progress we've made with Seven's company?"

"It's a fair exchange," Kayn didn't mind it. If in order to control Maria they'll have to lose Seven's company, then he'll gladly lose the latter. Maria will be providing him with better quality manpower anyways, which can easily replace the quantity that Seven's company could provide. Though it is still a pity as he had wasted precious Undead Apples on them.

"I'll follow whatever you decide," Gilbert chooses to trust Kayn.

"Let's go," Kayn muttered.

Although he did not have the Assassin class, the way he moves was no different from them. Because of that, he and Gilbert were able to safely evade the pursuit of Seven's company.

And every single time they encounter one of them, mostly the elite members, they won't bother wasting any energy or delaying their trip as he would simply activate his charm and order them to kill themselves. Though Gilbert would personally deal with them occasionally as he wanted to release his anger.

With their speed and the fact that they were never delayed even once, Kayn, Gilbert, and Maria reached the Daze Village before night came.

Maria took them to the human resource department, which is located just in the Daze Village instead of the headquarters inside the city of the Assembly of Freedom, and officially granted them the status of her personal chef.

Their status naturally comes with a lot of benefits, including a house in the Daze Village, a personal kitchen, and an advance payment of one thousand coins.

After taking care of Nyak and Gilbert's matter, Maria left to go and make a report to the headquarters of the Assembly of Freedom.

ƥandasnovel.com Observing Maria as she departed, Kayn and Gilbert then left the human resource department to locate Seven's company.

Naturally, since Seven's company was chasing after them all this time, they arrived in the Daze Village just shortly after them.

Upon seeing them, Kayn and Gilbert immediately notice that the number of soldiers and elite members has noticeably decreased. To be exact, there are only three elite members remaining and less than fifty soldiers.

Calling them a company no longer suits them anymore as their current number is the same as a mere platoon.

"Now I am certain they'll get punished," Kayn muttered. Not only did they fail from saving Chief Kody and Chief Kellan, but they also lost a great number of manpower. Moreover, they failed on killing Maria and have now obviously offended her. She'll no doubt report to the higher-ups right now about what they did, which would surely increase their punishment. Their only saving grace is they tried to disrupt the progress of the Dream Village, which only delayed them for a few hours.

"Perhaps we won't even have to worry about them anymore," Gilbert hoped.

"Who told you they would even be returning to their base? Since they tried to kill us, will have to naturally show them who their master is," Kayn mischievously smiles.

In the next moment, Seven's entire company came to a halt. They stopped moving for a few seconds before quickly dispersing into the crowd.

"Let's go meet with them," Kayn motioned his hand as he took Gilbert to an abandoned warehouse that nobody uses anymore ever since the Assembly of Freedom took over the Daze Village.

As for how he knew about it, Jericho actually gave him a document that listed all the things he needed to know about the Daze Village which the latter received from his spies stationed in this territory.

That abandoned warehouse was one of the bases of Jericho's spies, which they have already left behind after nearly getting caught.

Although abandoned, it has all the things he needed to enact his plan.
