Chapter 276: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 79

"How about Maria?" Gilbert wonders.

"She'll stay here, of course," Kayn doesn't want to officially bring Maria yet to the Green Horn City's side.

In fact, he is still hesitant of making Maria embrace the life of a Hero once again, as that doesn't fit her present character or her future.

He also doesn't want to affect much about Maria's future, including the fact that she became a Villain, as he still wants her to reach her fullest potential. He'll only be changing the part where she joined Circus, that's all.

"Wouldn't it be awkward for everyone if I come with you as well?" Wesley scratched the back of his head. After all, everyone knows him well and they had even fought against each other. It wouldn't even be strange if they kill him the instant they saw him.

"Rest assured, my team is a separate force from the Green Horn City. You could say that we are mercenaries,"

"Mercenaries-my-ass," Wesley rolled his eyes. If Kayn's squad is really a mercenary force, they would never do things on their own accord and instead wait for Old Mayor George's order.

"Simply put, we are a separated force from the Green Horn City and have the right to do whatever we want," Gilbert interrupted.

"Like the Assembly Knights?"

"Yes, but has even more privileges and freedom compared to the Assembly Knights or even the Green Horn Knights,"

"Would Friedrich be there?"

"No, but Emmet's squad is present to assist us instead,"

Hearing that, Wesley breathed a sigh of relief. He would never go to Dream Village as long as Friedrich is present as he is afraid the latter would kill him the instant he sees his face.

"Have you done something really bad to Friedrich that he'll consider killing you immediately?" Kayn can't help being curious about it.

"Not really," Wesley shook his head.

"He's just been an annoying thorn to Friedrich and the rest of us from Green Horn Knights for a very long time," Gilbert interjected. Even he would consider immediately killing Wesley if he was in Friedrich's shoes.

"I see," Kayn understood.

"The feelings are mutual," Wesley coldly harrumphed. The Green Horn Knights have been ruining his plan time and time again as if they have some sort of vendetta against him.

"That's the reason why you'll be dying soon," Gilbert couldn't be anymore happier that they'll be returning to Dream Village soon. He can't wait to see what Wesley would be like once they get there.

"Let's pack our things and inform Maria before leaving,"

They've already done most of the job they came here to do. Hence, it is time to leave.

With the intent of destroying the calm that the Assembly of Freedom had just brought to its people, Kayn started a fire on the tavern and the surrounding infrastructures.

Unfortunately, because it was in the Freedom City and due to the previous operations they'd brought to this territory not so long ago, people were more than prepared for any fire, thus it was solved before it could even spread any farther.

Nevertheless, they've achieved their goal of killing the people that no longer served any use in the tavern. That was the original goal as those people don't have any purpose for the next chapter of their plan anymore.

It also serves as an alert to Maria to come to their room for an urgent matter.

"Let me guess, you instigated that?" Maria was already familiar with the way Kayn does things. As long as arson is involved, there's a high chance that he is the culprit behind it.

"It was to give you a signal,"

"That was a signal? I can't wait to see how you'll send me a message. Perhaps you'll even burn the entire Daze Village by then," Maria rolled her eyes.

"Probably," Kayn chuckled.

"So, what's this all about?" Maria sat on her bed.

"We'll be returning to the Dream Village today,"

"Okay, then let's go," Maria already stored all of her needs inside her Storage Ring ever since she transferred to Kayn's room to make it convenient for her to change and do her morning routines.

"You won't be going with us,"

"Why?!" Maria instantly complained. They're already allies, so she doesn't understand why she is not allowed to go with them.

"You'll be attacking the Assembly of Freedom from the rear alongside Wesley's minions,"

"So, I'll have to babysit Wesley, too?" Maria stares at Wesley intensely.

It was quite clear that Maria doesn't want to.

"Wesley will be going with us. We can't afford to let the puppeteer be in the center of the enemy's territory,"

After all, if ever Wesley dies, the Undead army will instantly disappear and so would the charm controlling the victims to his Undead Apple. By then, only a few people under his control would be left to assist Maria.

"So, I'll be left all alone? I don't want to!" Maria objected.

"You won't be staying here for long," Kayn assures Maria. "Once we solve the matter with the Dream Village, the real war would soon follow. By then, it wouldn't be long until we make use of our hidden card in the Assembly of Freedom,"

"Are you sure?" Maria calms down.

"We can't afford to reveal any signs yet, so until then, please be patient and continue with your duty in the Assembly of Freedom," Kayn requested.

"What if they send me to the Drowsy Village to help invade the territory?"

"They shouldn't, right? After all, they still haven't found where they've gone to,"

"No," Maria shook her head. "They already did,"

"Since when?" Kayn was greatly alarmed by this unexpected news.

"Ever since morning yesterday. They only informed us today because of Wesley's sudden disappearance,"

It seems like he has disrupted something really crucial for their side because of his stunt.

Once again, he ended up with a fair exchange against the Assembly of Freedom.

"So, what's their plan?"

"The Liberty Fire Brigade and the Unity Circle Brigade already left just now to attack the Drowsy Village,"

"This is bad!" Gilbert looks at Kayn.

"We'll have to go now," Kayn nodded at Gilbert and Wesley before turning to Maria. "Don't think that this has changed my mind. You still have to stay here,"

"I…" Maria pouted. She really doesn't want to stay in this place as she feels like any time from now something really bad is about to happen to her. She doesn't know how to explain it, but it's like Chief Kylo has something really big prepared that involves everyone in the Assembly of Freedom.
