Chapter 296: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 99

The next day soon came.

Just like what was agreed upon yesterday, the Freedom Fang Brigade started preparing themselves to continue with the invasion of the Dream Village.

On the other hand, Kayn and the others who know the truth about Lilith's temporary absence in the Dream Village started feeling a bit nervous because they don't know how long they can continue buying time for her return.

"We didn't receive any report from the headquarters today, thus I think something bad must have happened," Jericho informed everyone. Normally, they would receive a daily report coming from the headquarters each morning through a messenger pigeon. He would also send a report back in order to keep them updated on their current situation. "Should I send a query?"

"Go on," Kayn approved. He needs to know what exactly is going on or else he won't be able to prepare himself for the worst.

"If it really comes to it, we can just blow the entire Slumbering Forest," Gilbert stepped forward.

"Blow it up? How?" Wesley rolled his eyes. He doesn't believe they have the capability to do that.

"We've already set up countless explosives all over the Slumbering Forest. We buried them underneath lakes, rivers, trees, and other inconspicuous surface areas above the underwater cave tunnels," Gilbert proudly presented.

"As expected," Wesley already knew that the Green Horn City must have prepared something against them when they send the invitation to make the Slumbering Forest the location for their war. That was why they would always send scouts inside the Slumbering Forest to look for clues. Unfortunately, none of those operations bore any fruit. "Although, I didn't expect it to be arson again,"

"Our leader," Jude looks at Kayn. "Is the King of Arson. So, what do you expect from us?"

"King of Arson? That truly fit Kayn," Jericho started laughing about it.

"Enough about that," Kayn interrupted as he glimpses at the wall of the Freedom Fang Brigade, hoping to find Garvin. It didn't take long for him to see the latter as he walked on top of their wall.

"He's here," Kayn signaled to everyone.

"You must have a good night's rest considering the temporary cease-fire," Garvin greeted.

Kayn smirked and responded. "How was the burial for the Freedom Fighters?"

"I was able to bury them at the place where they belonged,"

"And where is it?"

"The Dream Dungeon,"

"It seems to me that you caused quite the commotion last night during the burial. Do you really have to wake us up for that?"

"Let's not pretend like we are kids, Kayn,"

"I am a kid," Kayn corrected.

"You might still be considered a young man, but nobody here believes that your age is a limitation to your true capability," Garvin shook his head. He had ordered one of his men yesterday who possess the Gift to look into the memories of people who had died, and he was shocked when he found out that it was Kayn himself who personally defeated the Freedom Fighters. Even though in the end the others stepped in to end them, that was only because they'd already lost the will to continue fighting.

"What are you implying?"

"All I am saying is, what were you doing in the Dream Dungeon?"

"Hunting down some people," Kayn decided to reveal a bit of information.

"Considering that they aren't part of the Assembly of Freedom, I believe that they must be people you hold personal vengeance,"

"Not really. They're part of the Assembly of Freedom. I was informed that they are Chief Dennis' personal bodyguards," Kayn didn't hold back as he wanted to lure out those people by revealing that it was him that disrupted their operation inside the Dream Dungeon last night.

Unfortunately, nobody reacted in a strange way from the side of the Freedom Fang Brigade.

"How come I didn't know Chief Dennis had personal bodyguards?" Garvin looks at Ekin in confusion.

"Chief Dennis doesn't have any personal bodyguards. That has never been stated in any of his reports or information about him,"

"You're lying again, I see," Garvin could only assume that Kayn is not telling the truth.

"If you send some men to go west, you'll find a few soldiers we've allowed to escape. You can ask them if you don't believe me," Kayn hoped that Garvin would comply so that they can buy more time for themselves.

"We've already caught them," Garvin had already captured a few people last night when they went to the Dream Dungeon. They didn't go that far from the dungeon, that's why they were able to find them easily.

As expected, it was Kardo and the rest of his men, with a few missing, probably dead after resisting the Freedom Fang Brigade.

"Say, is Kayn telling the truth?" Garvin asked Kardo as he already know the latter is the leader of the squad.

"Yes, he is!"

"You shouldn't have answered him like that," Wesley suddenly interjected. "Next time he asks a question, make sure you get something in return,"

"Shut your mouth, traitor!" Ekin exclaimed.

"Speaking about traitors, I wonder how many I can control in your ranks. Are you interested in finding out?" Wesley changed the topic.

"Even if you activate your charm in them, it wouldn't matter as we've specifically arranged our soldiers where they can immediately kill anyone that goes against our orders," Silas wasn't worried.

"Are you sure?" Wesley tried to irritate them.

"Try us!" Silas doesn't plan on backing down.

"Later," Wesley finally relented. He had to back down, or else he might trigger them to start the battle.

"Thought so," Silas proudly puffed his chest seeing that he defeated Wesley in an argument.

"I've understood the situation," Garvin finally spoke again after having a brief conversation with Kardo and his men during the bunter between Wesley and Silas. "So, what were your findings?"

"Not much, since all we did last night was smoke the rats out of the Dream Dungeon and hope that you'll capture them as well," Kayn sounded disappointed.

"I am afraid that nobody was there when our men reached the place," Garvin was also disappointed as he wanted to see for himself Chief Dennis' supposed bodyguards as well.
