Chapter 282: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 85
"The Freedom Fighters?" Emt interrupted their conversation. "They were actually here the whole ti yesterday. I don't know where they went afterward, but our scouts saw them going to the Slumbering Forest,"
"Do you know what they were doing before going to the Slumbering Forest?" Kayn couldn't help but feel suspicious about it.
Unlike the Freedom Fang Brigade which works in the conventional way, squads like the Freedom Fighters don't.
The very reason why they received so form of freedom from Chief Kylo is because of the fact that they have their own way of doing things that don't go in line with the force they are a part of. They are basically unpredictable.
In other words, they are special, and special people always have their special way of doing things.
In order to find out what sort of special way the Freedom Fighters are planning, they'll have to deduce it from their recent actions.
"Nothing special aside from checking the waters around the moat,"
"Water?" Kayn doesn't like what he is hearing. He turned to Wesley and asked. "What's the known specialty of the Freedom Fighters?"
"Rescue mission and reconnaissance," Wesley doesn't understand what's getting Kayn so worked up.
"This is bad!" Kayn looks at Jude, Charles, and Emt.
Quite tily enough, Jericho has finally returned from his task.
"What's with the commotion?" Jericho asked. He had just returned from spreading information everywhere around the premises of the Dream Village about the Kingmaker, yet upon his return he was imdiately greeted by a looming atmosphere.
"Great!" Kayn was delighted. "The four of you, check every possible entrance that leads to the underwater cave system around the Dream Village, including those that we still haven't excavated but are underneath the territory,"
"What's the matter?" Jericho doesn't understand what's the reason yet.
"It is possible the Freedom Fighters have beco aware of the underwater cave system and is planning of making use of it to secretly get inside the Dream Village,"
Hearing that, everyone's face turned solemn. They didn't bother asking more and swiftly left to start their search.
"How about ?" Gilbert pointed at himself.
"This ti, you both will act as my personal bodyguard," Kayn turns in the direction of the Freedom Fang Brigade once again.
"Including ?" Wesley seriously doubts what he just heard.
"Yes,"
"Does that an you trust with your life now?"
"Not really," Kayn shook his head. "You'll be acting as my shield,"
"You…!" Wesley feels wronged.
"Get used to it," Gilbert chuckled.
While Jericho and the others were out searching, Kayn focused his attention on Garvin and the rest of the higher-ups of the Freedom Fang Brigade, patiently waiting for their next course of action.
Although he has the choice to launch a sudden attack right now, as that would no doubt surprise them and would definitely eliminate a considerable portion of the enemy's army. He decided not to as he can't predict what the likely outco would be yet. With such uncertainty, the risk is going to be very high for them. In addition to that, his goal is sothing else.
Furthermore, he is trying to buy as much ti as possible for Lilith. The longer it takes for the Freedom Fang Brigade to attack them, the closer they are to achieving victory for their plan.
After around an hour of observing, the eting between Garvin and the higher-ups of the Freedom Fang Brigade seems to finally co to an end.
As if to confirm that, Natas made his way back to Kayn.
Kayn looks at Natas aningfully.
"Your guess is right. They will postpone invading the Dream Village until they receive further updates from Chief Kylo," Natas started explaining. "They've already sent ssenger birds and personnel to the Hush Village and Daze Village to spread the information as quickly as possible to every single mber of the Assembly of Freedom,"
"In addition to that, they'll wait for reinforcent from the Hush Village before continuing their attack, which would take more than a day to reach the Dream Village. So, you can rest assured that there won't be any battle yet,"
"Although, they did ntion leaving things to the Freedom Fighter in the anti. I don't know what it ant exactly, but it sure does imply they don't plan on giving up inflicting damage to our side despite this unspoken temporary ceasefire,"
"In that case," Kayn muttered. "Everyone, prepare the catapults!"
"Prepare the catapults!"
The order was imdiately passed on to the rest of the soldiers.
"What are you doing?!" Gilbert was greatly alard.
"I thought that you were planning on buying ti for Lilith?" Wesley beca confused.
"Change of plans," Kayn explained. "We are going to stir the rats,"
"Stir the rats?"
"Are you going to bring mayhem and chaos to their formation?"
"Yes,"
"It's uncertain how they would take it, but are you sure of the outco?"
"Are you sure of the outco? Are you an idiot?!"
"We have to believe Kayn,"
"I do believe him, but attacking the Freedom Fang Brigade right now is not a way to buy ti. Instead, we should be sending so n over there right now to confirm whether this is really a ceasefire or not,"
"And what would that achieve? This is clearly an unspoken ceasefire,"
"That's not the point! We are simply buying ti for our side,"
"Sending n over there would just make it obvious that we are up to sothing. And besides, we are at war with a bunch of unreasonable and unpredictable groups of people, so there's seriously no telling what they would do to our diplomat,"
"Quite down you two!" Kayn promptly interrupted, irritated at the two for imdiately cutting him off before he could even bother to explain the reason why. "What I ant about stirring the rats is to force the hiding mbers of the Freedom Fighters in the Dream Village to show themselves,"
Instantly, both Gilbert and Wesley finally understood what Kayn ant. No wonder the latter described them as rats.
They turned quiet as they started analyzing how exactly Kayn would be able to achieve that.
In the end, they arrived at nothing.
