Chapter 95: An army without any generals part 1
As they were making their way to their next target, Kayn made so low-voice conversation with Natas.
"By the way, how did you know that Adolfo is a mber of the Assembly of Freedom? He shouldn't be in the tent like you claid, right?"
"Well, the other four were in the tent, so it isn't wrong to assu Adolfo to be one of them,"
"I guess so,"
"There were others too. So, never assu that the five people on the list are the only people we should watch out for,"
"Make sure to tell if they are one of them or not,"
"Rest assured, I have morized all of their faces,"
"Just make sure that's really the case," After all, it would be truly bad for him and the others if they stumble upon soone who they thought to be just a random soldier of the Tenderfoot Village but turns out he is actually one of the mbers of the Assembly of Freedom.
He had already seen multiple instances of the disadvantages of underestimating one's enemy, and he doesn't want to experience it himself or the others with him.
"Tell imdiately once you see soone familiar, alright?"
"Trust ," Natas nodded his head.
"Let's catch up to them," In order for the others not to hear him, he had purposely slowed down.
"Where are the other two? I thought that they were with you?" Friedrich asked Natasha.
"We got ambushed along the way. They stayed behind while the two of us went on ahead,"
"They'll catch up later," Jackson assured. The people who ambushed them only had a nurical advantage against them. There was no one prominent enough that ca along with them who could pose any threat to their lives. That was the main reason why their two comrades confidently choose to stay behind.
"Contribution points," Friedrich quickly understood their reason.
"We also made so of our own," Natasha reminded them of Lotte.
"You don't mind sharing this ti, right?" Cedrick can't help but ask. Fate knows how long Lotte has been following them or how long it took Natasha and Jackson to kill him considering he is one of the two dangerous people amongst the five on their list, but since there's only two of them, they'll be sharing the bounty on Lotte's head between only the two of them. It's definitely going to be a lot.
"If we mind it, we wouldn't have co here to find you," Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Gilbert is with us, that can be a reason," Roshan smirks.
"He is in good hands," Natasha glimpsed at Friedrich.
"Fair enough,"
"Anyways," Friedrich interrupted, "Where did you see the others?"
They're now close to the army camp, so he is assuming their next targets are closed by.
"When we were passing by, they were making their way their way to their army,"
"That's bad," Cedrick looks at Friedrich.
"We can't ambush them if they are now in their army, let alone catch them in surprise,"
"We'll also have to deal with their soldiers as well,"
"That's right,"
"So, what do we do?"
"Let's confirm it first before coming up with any plans,"
"Alright,"
Since they'll have to confirm the situation first, Natasha led Friedrich and the others to the unit of their remaining targets.
"The Knights unit is at the frontline along with the Guardians unit, so it's a bit far from where we are currently at. But the Mages unit and Priests unit are close to each other, thus we can easily spot Margie and Rose, and we are closer to them," Natasha informs them.
"Hopefully, the two are also just sticking close to one another, because that would be perfect for us to just charge straight at them," Friedrich pleads.
Mages and Priests aren't really a serious problem for them.
What happened not so long ago was clearly an exception though, as those people are obviously trained for fights like that and the situation was also ideal for them to execute their strategy.
However, when it cos to battle where there are a lot of people involved in a limited area, even if they are well prepared and has a strategy in dealing against lee combatants like them, they won't have enough space to do anything as they are sticking closely with each other.
"There they are," Natasha signaled everyone to hold their ground and observe the unit not far from their location. "Those are the Mages unit and Priests unit,"
"And those two are Margie and Rose," Cedrick pointed at the two won who are identical to the image that Friedrich showed them before.
"Two bewitching beauties," Kimberly said in a remark.
"How shaless," Gilbert rolled his eyes at Kimberly.
"What did I do to you this ti?!" Kimberly quickly pulled Gilbert's collar.
Gilbert started whistling to the side.
"I wouldn't be surprised if these two get married and beco husband and wife," Natasha can't help smiling.
"Definitely," Jackson nodded his head.
"I agree!"
"I second!"
"Third!
"..."
"There's absolutely no way," Gilbert and Kimberly said at the sa ti before staring at each other and quickly avoiding gazes.
"Is that so?" Kayn can't help butting in. But he quickly changed the topic, "So, what plans are we looking at here?"
"Charge in and hope for the best, I guess. Perhaps you have sothing in mind? Sothing similar to the plan you pulled with Adolfo," Friedrich looked at Kayn hopefully.
"Who's the new guy?" Jackson looked at Kayn from top to bottom.
"Soone we are currently babysitting,"
"I thought it was only ?"
"Not anymore," After seeing Kayn's capability, there's no way they'd let Gilbert babysit him alone.
"We might even believe that he is the one babysitting you instead," Cedrick put his hand on Kayn's shoulder.
"Kayn is the little brother of the entire first squad now," Roshan smiled.
"You okay with this?" Gilbert looks at Kayn.
"Why not?" Kayn smirks.
"Traitor! I thought we had a thing!" Gilbert felt betrayed by his friend.
"Be careful with your words. Kimberly might get jealous of Kayn,"
"No way!" Kimberly puffed her cheeks in annoyance and crossed her arms. But a slight blush could be seen on her cheeks.
"Jokes aside," Kayn's voice turned solemn, "How about we throw smoke bombs everywhere and Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson would kidnap the two and bring them sowhere quiet,"
"Diaz would definitely react imdiately if we make such a huge ss,"
"Is there any other way aside from making a huge ss? Let him follow! Then, we'll deal with him as we see fit, like what you both did to Lotte,"
"I am not only talking about Diaz. I am talking about the entire army,"
"Then let's bring them to our Village. Let's see if they dare to continue following after us,"
"You…" Natasha was speechless. This young man seems to be able to find every slightest hole possible to slip in with his reasons.
"I am actually not joking. We co from here, and we run to our opposite side. And then we make our way back to the Green Horn Village. It isn't that far anymore. Probably a few hundred ters of running and we'd arrive,"
"Along the way, we can delay the army, kill so of them in the process,"
"Or, we can reveal the fact that their leaders are mbers of the Assembly of Freedom," Friedrich imdiately rembered his discussion with Old Chief George.
"How do you plan on doing that? Reveal yourself and announce to their entire army where you are hiding?" Gilbert felt that Friedrich's plan is ridiculous.
"You'll be the one doing it," Friedrich devilishly smiled at Gilbert.
"Ehhh?" Gilbert took a step back away from Friedrich.
"You're overreacting," Friedrich chuckled. "You and Kayn will go back to the Green Horn Village and inform Old Chief George of our plan,"
" too?" Kayn felt wronged.
"There's nothing more you can do here. And I can't possibly allow you to go with us as we sneak into their army, right? Even if we are using smoke bombs as cover to hide our movent and presence, that still doesn't guarantee that they won't find us,"
"I wouldn't be worried if it's only us. But I am not confident anymore if you co along. I hope you don't take offense,"
"I understand," Kayn could only nod his head in acceptance. Compared to Friedrich and the others, he is still very weak. Not to ntion, this is still his second day in 'The Bridge', yet he is already getting himself tangled with sothing this huge — a war, to be exact.
War wasn't even sothing they have included in their list of what to expect once they are finally inside 'The Bridge'.
What's important is; he already did his part. It's ti for him to take a step back and leave the rest to the professionals.
"Next ti, I promise I'll let you join us in an expedition of equal scale as this,"
"Next ti, okay?"
"Yes, next ti," Friedrich nodded his head.
"Okay," Kayn turns to look at Gilbert, "Let's go!"
"Alright!"
"Take care!" Natasha and Jackson waved their hands at Kayn and Gilbert.
