Chapter 208: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 11

The next day quickly came.

As expected, Wesley came to the Wing Boots Auction House early in the morning to begin the tour of the bases, at least remaining bases, of the Assembly of Freedom around the Daze Village.

Kayn and the others already prepared themselves yesterday on what to do as they went on the tour with Wesley.

"You're also coming?" Wesley looks at Kayn as the latter strikes the best impression on him among all the bodyguards yesterday. "Did you get your promotion? If not, why not join my team,"

"I did," Kayn rejected kindly as he doesn't want to get on the bad side of Wesley during the tour in case the latter tries to do something.

"You did?" Wesley slightly felt regretful. "What's your position now?"

"Captain,"

"Is that right?" Wesley looks at Jericho.

"As of now," Jericho responded. "Until he fully adapts to his current position, he'll stay as a captain,"

"You heard him, quickly adapt so that you can stand in the same league as the Executives of the Herald Guild," Wesley chuckled. "Anyways, follow me as I show you what we've prepared so far,"

With that being said, the tour begins.

The first few locations they visited were those bases inside the Daze Village.

It was only at this moment that Kayn and the others realized just how many more bases of the Assembly of Freedom they missed yesterday.

Although it wasn't that bad since they'll certainly not miss them the next time.

Other than that, they also realized that the number of men stationed in those bases have significantly increased in numbers. Moreover, they've also assigned a few elite members. This was obviously because of yesterday's attack.

This finding confirmed that the majority of the Assembly of Freedom in the Daze Village indeed went out to prepare something yesterday and had only returned last evening.

"I know that they're scattered everywhere, but that's only for now," Wesley explained. "Thanks to the attack of the unknown group yesterday, our people now have more buildings to use as our base after the residents evacuated and left the Daze Village,"

"Are you intending on occupying the entire Daze Village for your operation?" Jericho felt slightly worried that his men won't be spared and his businesses in the Daze Village would also be implicated.

"Worry not, since you will be joining the Assembly of Freedom soon, that means that your bases are also going to become our bases. Albeit it doesn't mean we will send our men to occupy them. Your property would still entirely belong to you and we will not touch an inch of it, except for those that we already destroyed. You don't mind, right?" Wesley curiously asked.

"I do,"

"Just kidding," Wesley chuckled.

"Was that meant to be a joke?"

"Sorry to offend you. Of course, we won't since that would obviously affect your arrangement of having everything within one kilometer of the Wing Boots Auction House on your property. I don't quite understand what your strategy is, but we don't mind your actions,"

"It is for safety,"

"Well, it certainly didn't prove its usefulness when our leader was attacked and the thieving group was still able to escape successfully," Wesley sarcastically remarks.

"Just like how you were able to see our arrangement, other people are also capable of doing the same,"

"Are you saying that they are smart like me,"

"I didn't say such a thing," Jericho chuckled.

"I like you! Your way of talking is almost in the same league as mine,"

"Believe whatever you want,"

"I certainly will," Wesley started laughing. But then he suddenly stopped when everyone reached the gate of the Daze Village. His tone changed as he said. "This time, I will be touring you around the real base of the Assembly of Freedom,"

"As in the real base? Or just the real base in the Daze Village? I heard you have other bases in all the territories surrounding the Slumbering Forest,"

"The real base as in the real base,"

Hearing that, Jericho can't help glimpsing at Kayn, asking the latter if they should continue with this act or not.

As much as he wanted to believe that everything is going smoothly, the thought that there is a chance for things to go south would still occasionally pop up in his mind. It is definitely because he is beside Wesley, someone who is in the same league as the leaders of the Green Horn Knights of the Green Horn City.

Contrary to Jericho, Kayn was completely calm, and the thing that Wesley said didn't affect him a single bit.

"Don't worry Chairman Jericho, I'll always be by your side if things don't go as planned," Kayn said in a discreet matter.

"You don't have to worry, it won't," Wesley interjected.

"I sure hope so. Otherwise, your actual base in the Slumbering Forest would be suffering some damage to it before the war against the Green Horn City even begins," Jericho muttered in a threatening tone.

"We know, that's why I personally volunteered myself to be your tour guide in order to make sure that doesn't happen," Wesley said in a stern voice. Of course, he knows that there's a possibility for things to go south. After all, members of the Assembly of Freedom are crazy people, including him. But compared to him who's still capable of thinking rationally, the majority don't and most of the time they only think of themselves. One wrong action and everyone in Jericho's group might accidentally get massacred. Supposed that happens, everyone in the Herald Guild would no doubt attack them. Not to mention, their relationship with the Thieves Guild Alliance would also be affected as their vice-guild leader got killed during their alliance talk. In addition to that, they will pass the information of the Daze Village being their actual base to the Green Horn City's side for revenge for the death of their guild leader.

He certainly doesn't want that happening, especially not at the time that Chief Kylo had left him in charge of their base.
