The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 177: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 15

"If it is true, what are you going to do?" Chastine wonders.

"As much as I want to keep this information to our party only, it would take us a very long time to cover this entire system of underwater caves. The best option we have is to ask for Jericho and his Herald guild's cooperation," Kayn heave's a sigh. They were helpless to change this.

"What if I send a message to ask for cooperation from Green Horn City? Old Chief George should be more than happy to help us," Chastine suggested.

"That wouldn't be good. If the Green Horn City sends some men to come here, it would most likely alert the Assembly of Freedom," Kayn shook his head to dismiss the idea.

"That's the point,"

"What do you mean?"

"How about we make the entire Slumbering Forest the battlefield for the upcoming war?"

"Tell me your plan," Kayn's interest was immediately piqued.

"Imagine, even if we have the help of the Herald's Guild, it would still take us a lot of time to find the Forest Spirit Origin Seed. There would no doubt be countless numbers of casualties too considering just how dangerous it is to search around the underwater cave system. But what if we have enough firepower to destroy the entire place and take it to the ground?"

"We can also achieve that just with the cooperation of the Herald's Guild,"

That's right. If they are only talking about firepower, their group alone is already capable of destroying the entire Slumbering Forest.

"If we do that, we will have to face an unimaginable number of monsters. Can our group and the Herald Guild handle that? Even if we ask for the cooperation of the territories nearby and the entirety of the Thieves Guild Alliance, it would still not be enough," Chastine shook her head. "However, it would be a completely different story if we involve the Assembly of Freedom, their allies, the Green Horn City, and our allies,"

"I guess if you put it that way we would definitely be able to handle the hoard of monsters. But," Kayn suddenly had a thought. "There's no guarantee whether we can really get the Forest Spirit Origin Seed,"

"We don't have to," Chastine smiles. "As long as our allies get it, it would still be our win. Think about it, Green Horn City, our allies, Herald Guild, and possibly even some members of the Thieves Guild Alliance who have a close relationship with our fried Jericho,"

"Now that's even better," Kayn chuckled.

Honestly, the plan wasn't something that Heroes would think about. As a matter of fact, it is what Villains would do.

However, if one thinks about it deeply, one would understand that the war between the Green Horn City and the Assembly of Freedom is bound to happen anytime soon. Whether they like it or not, it is imminent.

The only difference is, with this plan, they got to take advantage of that war to achieve their goal. And at the same time, defeat the Assembly of Freedom.

Once Gilbert, Jude, and Charles confirm that there is indeed a path to the underwater cave system under those locations that he assigned them to search, it would more or less confirm already the network of tunnels he drew on the map, and probably even more tunnels.

All that they have to do next is inform the others about his and Chastine's plan.

…..

"Absolutely not!" Friedrich shooked his head while both of his arms crossed in front of him.

"Why?" Chastine stood up.

"You are involving innocent people here and causing needless deaths," Friedrich responded while motioning his hand to make Chastine sit.

Chastine sat back down and said. "That so-called involving innocent people and needless deaths is still going to happen even if we don't do this,"

Friedrich turned quiet. Indeed, people are still going to die in the upcoming war.

"We are just choosing the location for where the war would take place and take advantage of it to find the Forest Spirit Origin Seed,"

"But there's no certainty whether we can even keep it to ourselves. Not to mention, once Old Chief George realizes what we did, he would definitely not like it,"

"Well, I am just suggesting a choice," Chastine finally decided to give up persuading Friedrich. There's no use. With the character of Friedrich, he would not do something that Villains would do.

"Were you involved in thinking of this strategy, Kayn?" Friedrich looks at Kayn.

"I do, and I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with it," Kayn express his support.

"Why do you think so?"

"You want to win this war or do you want the Assembly of Freedom to win this war?"

"Of course, I want the side of good to win this war, which is us,"

"Then choosing where the war would take place is an advantage for us since that would give us prior knowledge of the surrounding. And besides, we are already involved in this war. And if you think that we are not involving innocent people here, then you are naive,"

This time, Friedrich choose to shut his mouth. He knew already that this was the best choice if they want to find the Forest Spirit Seed, and possibly even the Forest Spirit Origin Seed, in a short span of time. He wasn't being naive. Instead, he just doesn't like the idea of being the mastermind of starting the war.

The war is indeed going to happen whether he likes it or not. However, he doesn't want himself or the members of his party to become the main cause of the war. He prefers it to take place naturally, even if there is an involvement of someone else, as long as it is not them, then he is fine with it.

"Let's just have a vote and consider the thoughts of others,"

Having no other choice left, Friedrich could only hope that the others would share similar beliefs as him and vote against them.

"Whoever votes to proceed with Kayn's plan, please raise your hand,"

Seemingly in an instant, Gilbert, Jude, Charles, Chastine, Natasha, Jackson, Cyril, and Carter raise their hand. And surprisingly enough, even Cedric, one of the loyal men of Friedrich, chooses to raise his hand as well.

In the end, only Friedrich, Roshan, and Kimberly were against the idea.

Seeing this, Friedrich could only sigh heavily. "It seems like the majority views it in favor,"

With that being said, everyone changes their plan and started preparing for the war in the Slumbering Forest.
