The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 179: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 17

Kayn and Jericho continued their discussion for more than an hour to cover more specifics and to establish a detailed layout of the plan to further perfect its execution.

Not long after Kayn left the mansion of the Herald Guild, all members of the guild arrived one after another and received their separate tasks from Jericho.

Jericho purposely didn't bring up the entirety of the plan and only informed each member of what they had to accomplish as he doesn't want the truth to leak out to the other forces. Simply put, he divided the whole piece of the puzzle so that no one can get a clear picture.

It was a wise idea, and this was just one of the results of his planning with Kayn for more than an hour.

The rest of the plans would slowly unfold in the future.

Before returning back to camp, Kayn went to a certain store first to pick up a batch of items that they have ordered yesterday. It was necessary for their plan.

…..

Kayn returned to the camp and immediately saw the others finishing packing their things.

"Do you have what we need?"

"Five Storage Rings worth of gunpowder," Kayn threw five Storage Rings to Jude. Being known as the Judge of Fire in the future, the latter definitely knew a lot about gunpowder.

"Perfect," Jude nodded at Kayn before signaling to Gilbert and Charles. The three of them would be doing something that will set the mood of the upcoming war to the clouds.

"Make sure to take note of their location, otherwise we might end up causing friendly fire," Kayn reminded.

"So, let's return to our base of operation?" Friedrich patted Kayn's shoulder.

"Yeah, it is time," Kayn agrees.

Friedrich was referring to the Village that Gnarlak and his men have constructed.

Looking around, Gilbert, Jude, and Charles have gone to do their own task, the only remaining people in the camp were Friedrich, Roshan, Cedric, and Kimberly. As for the second squad of the Green Horn Knights, they departed yesterday on the Guardian Turtle to go to the Green Horn City to inform Old Chief George of their plan.

"It feels strangely peaceful now," Kayn slightly feels sorrowful. After traveling around 'The Bridge' with everyone, it feels like something is missing now that there are only a few of them.

"I feel the same," Friedrich smiles. "You'll eventually get used to it someday. I was like that too when Old Chief George decided to separate the Green Horn Knights into four different squads. I miss the others, I know I have a bigger responsibility to take care of…"

"Enough old man," Kayn interrupted before letting out a chuckle.

"It does sound like I am an old man," Friedrich regretted acting that way.

"I understand what you meant, Friedrich," Kayn looks at Friedrich.

Friedrich strangely felt like he was being stared at by a wise person like Old Chief George instead of a young man.

"Sometimes I wonder if you have reincarnated back to the past. You see, novels about reincarnation always portray the same character that you are showing. All-knowing, slightly lowkey, and would only show their capability when needed,"

"What if I was,"

"That would make everything up until now reasonable," Friedrich laughs. "Of course, that is impossible,"

"I know right," Kayn could only agree awkwardly with Friedrich.

"What a sharp intuition," Natas muttered in a remark.

After traveling for around an hour, Kayn and the others finally arrived at their main base of operation at the southeast corner of the Slumbering Forest.

At this moment, other than the huts, there is now a wide open and huge space at the very front of their base that Gnarlak and his men have constructed overnight after receiving information that the men of the Green Horn City would most likely be staying in their Village for the upcoming war.

"How's the progress of what I told you about?" Kayn asked Gnarlak.

"We have already found the entrance and we are now just creating a door to block the water from getting inside the tunnel. It should about to be finished now," Gnarlak muttered as he lead Kayn underground to their Village.

The progress that Kayn had asked him was about creating a tunnel that will connect this Village to the underwater cave system nearby them.

Although their Village is located at the southeast corner of the Slumbering Forest, they are conveniently close to a huge number of underwater tunnels. Because of this, Kayn informed them yesterday to make a tunnel that connects their village and the underwater cave system as they are planning on using it to secretly explore the place as they wait for everything to slowly unfold. In this way, they will be able to know a lot of what they are dealing with ahead of time.

"Are you going to start exploring today? Or do you want me to send some men first to scout a perimeter for your group?"

"I appreciate your offer, but I don't want any unnecessary sacrifices," Kayn shook his head to dismiss the idea. "Instead, what you can do for me is continue preparing for the arrival of our people from Green Horn City. Make sure that there is enough space to accommodate all of them,"

Gnarlak smiles. "Since we don't have a clue of how many they would send, we are trying our best to cut the surrounding trees and create an open space as wide as we could possibly achieve before they arrive,"

"That is more than enough," Kayn halted on his step.

They are here.

In front of them, a huge doorway made out of steel is currently undergoing construction one hundred meters underneath their feet. The entire body of the door was already complete and it only needs to be further solidified at the corner for it to be completed.

"Just like what you've said, we have to make it as wide enough so that the Guardian Turtle can easily fit inside," Gnarlak informs.

That's right. Kayn knew that just their group alone won't be able to handle everything inside the underwater cave system, or even if they could, it would probably take a lot of time. However, with the help of the Guardian Turtle, it would hasten their progress by dozens of folds.
