Chapter 256: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 59
It didn't take long for Maria along with a few of her men to arrive at the residence of Kayn and Gilbert.
From Maria's face alone, it was quite evident that she was in a hurry to save them.
"Glad to know that you're both safe," Maria's face visibly relaxed as she let out a relieved sigh, happy to see both Nyak and Gilbert safe and unharmed.
Natas said in a remark. "I didn't expect her to be so caring of her people," This kind of reaction is too far off from her title of Human Hunter Maria.
"What happened?" Kayn pretended to ask.
"Seven's company decided to kill themselves instead of facing the punishment of the Assembly of Freedom," Maria released her murderous intent from the thought of it.
"I guess we both are quite lucky since we were storing our supplies in the walk-in freezer when the explosions happened," Gilbert acted like he was glad.
"So, what will happen to us now?" Kayn looks at the remaining debris of their supposed residence.
"We have no choice but to evacuate you to the city of the Assembly of Freedom, Freedom City," Maria informs.
Freedom City was the official name given to the city of the Assembly of Freedom.
As expected. With the Daze Village destroyed, at least most of it, the personnel of the higher-ups has to be moved inside the Freedom City. As for the ordinary masses, they'll have to find ways to survive on their own. It isn't a big problem though since they are so used to living out in the wilderness because barely any territories would accept them due to them being members of the Assembly of Freedom.
"Was this our fault?" Gilbert acted slightly guilty.
"No," Maria shook his head. "It was Seven's fault, he cheated on me so he has to suffer the consequences of his actions. Moreover, not only did he fail in controlling his emotions, but he also failed in his task and duty and even tried to kill us. He basically dug his and his soldiers' grave. And in his attempt of cowardice, he refused to face his punishment and instead killed himself along with the rest of his company,"
In other words, they were just implicated in the mess and were merely caught in the center of every action.
"Let's go," Maria led the way for Kayn and Gilbert to the Freedom City.
While following Maria, both Kayn and Gilbert can't help themselves from celebrating inwardly at their own achievement.
In less than a day, they formed a connection with one of the Assembly Knights and are now entering Freedom City.
From the way things are looking, it wouldn't take long before they start cooking in the main kitchen of the organization and start with their goal of Charming Freedom.
Unfortunately, there's only less than a day left before Green Horn City officially declares war against the Assembly of Freedom.
Starting from that moment, their time of Charming Freedom would be counted because any time they'll have no choice but to return to the Green Horn City and assist them in the war.
They can only trust Jericho and the others are able to buy them more time to charm the majority of the higher-ups.
"Wesley," Natas muttered after seeing Kayn being deep in thought. He understood what the latter is thinking.
Kayn narrowed his eyes as he doesn't understand what Natas meant.
"Remember what Gilbert said. An army of loyal soldiers who are unafraid of death. As long as you charm Wesley, you'll be able to control his Undead army," Natas shared his plan. "In addition to that, you can have two sources of Undead Apple, giving you two Undead Apples a day,"
Presented with that kind of plan, Kayn didn't hesitate to agree.
"I have a new plan for a new variation of fried chicken, let's talk about it later when we get to our new residence," Kayn informs Gilbert in a discreet manner.
"I hope it would involve spicy flavor this time," Gilbert implies chaos and destruction like what they did to the Daze Village. He was very satisfied seeing the aftermath of Kayn's plan, and he wants to see more of such damages in the Assembly of Freedom.
"It will be a soft and mild flavor," Kayn shook his head. He was just lucky this time that Seven's company drew themselves as the Villains and perpetrators of the story. Next time, Maria would start suspecting that destruction follows wherever Kayn and Gilbert go, as if like the two of them are the real masterminds.
???d?s??v?l.c?m In addition to that, they have to be careful when it comes to charming the people in the city since there's no way for them to tell who is under the charm of Wesley and who isn't.
Based on his experience when it comes to the aspect of charm, whenever another effect related to charm is applied to the same person, whoever's charm is the strongest would dominate, and in the case of similar charm, whichever charm has the longest duration would take effect.
Simply put, if his target is already under the charm of Wesley, his charm would become useless and ineffective if the duration of the latter's charm turns out to be longer than his. The only way for his charm to take effect is when Wesley's charm expires, and there's no way of determining how long that would be since it can be a similar case to the Serenity Town back then.
The only good news is, there's no way for the both of them to know if someone else applies another charm to the same person. In other words, Wesley would not be alarmed that someone in the Freedom City is trying to charm the higher-ups of their organization.
It took around twenty minutes for everyone to finally reach the entrance of Freedom City.
Unlike the last time, Kayn and Gilbert were here, the entire Freedom City underwent huge chances, especially in the aspect of security. Almost everywhere they passed had security personnel on standby and a group of soldiers were also going around on a patrol. Albeit the chaos and disorder still remained the same, even worst than the last time after the recent attacks in their territory.
