The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 271: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 74

Among the five brigades, Kayn realized that he can try and take control of three brigades, respectively the Revolutionary Brigade, Liberty Fire Brigade, and Unity Circle Brigade.

This was great as this means taking control of more than half of the Assembly of Freedom's soldiers. And in addition to Wesley's puppets, even if it is still impossible to bring down the entire Assembly of Freedom, he can more or less still bring about a great deal of damage to the organization.

Now, the only question left is where to begin.

"In the meantime, why don't you return first to deal with your matters while I stay here and continue looking for victims?" Kayn suggested to Maria.

"Alright," Maria nodded before pointing at Wesley and Christopher. "How about them?" Any client who comes here and sees these two would definitely flinch in fear.

"Wesley will stay, while Christopher will return to his job," Kayn couldn't help but feel slightly regretful about it as he wanted to kill Christopher as soon as possible. But it isn't time yet, as he wants the latter to suffer more before finally taking his last breath.

"Here," Kayn gave a cloak to Wesley. "Cover yourself up so that no one will know who you are,"

Wesley nodded and immediately covered himself with the cloak.

Seeing Wesley on a cloak, Maria nodded in relief and said. "That's good enough,"

"I'll be leaving then," Maria bid farewell along with Christopher.

Maria went back to the Daze Village to oversee the progress of the reconstruction while Christopher returned to the headquarters before Kayn deactivated his charm.

Christopher will never know that he has fallen under Kayn's charm. Albeit he'll be suspicious that there's something wrong about him as his memory will have a blank gap in between.

While Kayn was charming more and more people in the tavern, an uproar took place in the Freedom City as they found out that Wesley has disappeared.

As expected, the most restless person was Chief Kylo as he ordered his personal army to look for Wesley.

For the first time ever, the Freedom Wings Brigade made an appearance in the Freedom City.

Although Kayn didn't see them, he heard a series of information from the tavern guests that he had already secretly charmed by using the tavern kitchen. In other words, the entire tavern is now under his full control.

He had taken inspiration from Wesley after engaging in a conversation with the latter to talk about how he has been using the Undead Apple up until now.

During their talk, he had finally confirmed the presence of a secret sixth brigade, the Deathescaper Brigade. Similar to what he and Gilbert had suspected, it is an undead army made up of over three thousand Undead soldiers. It is technically still a brigade, albeit a small one.

It is quite obvious already that these are all the Undead people Wesley has gathered ever since awakening his Gift.

"8-10 years worth of combat power," Kayn is slightly hesitant about wasting such precious manpower as he can use them once he enters the 'Tower' to boost his territory and increase its development.

However, he obviously has no other choice but to do it. Otherwise, he won't be able to quickly end this war and proceed to unlock the treasure he came here in 'The Bridge'.

He already has all the necessary ingredients to enter that place — Springwater Source Bonsai, Mountain Heart Flower, Molten Magma Core, and Forest Spirit Seed.

Moreover, he now possesses the Kingmaker, which is a great addition to his arsenal, at least until he confirms its description.

The only thing hindering him from proceeding is this war.

Night came and it was finally time for Kayn to leave the tavern and return to his room to meet up with Maria and call it a day.

Contrary to Kayn though, everyone from the tavern didn't leave. They stayed inside and continued doing what they always ought to do whenever they visited the tavern.

Every now and then, a new group of guests will enter the tavern, but because Kayn is no longer present, he wasn't able to increase his influence any further.

As much as Kayn wanted to stay, he couldn't because he had to inform Maria of his progress, or else she will be left in the dark about what he is doing and that isn't good for their alliance. Albeit it wasn't official yet, he is starting to believe it's only going to be a matter of time before it happens, especially now that his force has increased.

"A sixth brigade…" Maria couldn't believe that all this time Wesley actually has his own force hidden in the depths and dark. Not only that, the sixth brigade is actually just hiding underneath the Freedom City all this time, acting as mere skeletons and corpses stuck to the bottom of the territory.

"I don't want to imagine what you will do with these many soldiers in your call," Maria slightly shivers at the thought of fending off thousands of Undead soldiers. Unless they burn them to ashes, they will continue on slaughtering everyone their master considers their enemy.

"What about Wesley? Is there any chance that he'll break free from the charm?" Maria was very worried about this. She knows a thing or two about charm and people who possess such a Gift. It was said that people who master the use of Charms are most unlikely to fall under one, especially with a similar charm to their Gift.

"That's why I return to our room," Kayn motioned his hand for Wesley to come forth. With a wave of his hand, he took out the <<Kingmaker>> from his Storage Ring. "There's no guarantee that he won't break free from his own charm, but there's a sure method so that he will never be able to betray me,"

"Now, swear your allegiance to me," Kayn looks at Wesley with a mischievous smile on his face.

<<Cost of Loyalty>>

A gold color light slowly covered the entire body of Wesley as the ceremony for swearing his loyalty to Kayn began.

In the next moment, as if Wesley was slowly regaining his consciousness, his body shaken and struggled to break free from some sort of chain.
