Chapter 281: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 84

Lilith waited for the perfect timing before leaving Dream Village through one of the tunnels in the underwater cave system. With her level, she swam really fast and in just a matter of a single minute, she was already out in the Slumbering Forest going to the southeast direction.

"Now, all we have to do is make sure Garvin doesn't find out that Lilith is away," Kayn turns to look at the north where their enemy forces are stationed.

At this moment, the Freedom Fang Brigade is still discussing something really important.

Unbeknownst to them though, Natas is just standing beside them while eavesdropping openly on their conversation.

"How do you plan on doing that exactly?" Wesley still can't believe that Kayn actually decided to send out their most powerful ally away from the Dream Village at the most crucial part of the battle. If it wasn't for the fact that the latter had made him swear to the Kingmaker right in front of everyone's eyes, it wouldn't be surprising if they believe that he is controlling Kayn with his charm and sending Lilith away is part of his plan so that nobody can deter Garvin anymore from laying waste to the entire Dream Village.

"People who are level fifty might be considered the powerhouse inside 'The Bridge' but that doesn't make them immortal," Kayn scoffed. He had defeated plenty of Heroes and Villains who are level fifty in the past while still being at his current level. So, he isn't really afraid of them. Needless to say, there are exceptions, like Maria and Lilith. The level of these two people doesn't equate to their full power. He is certain of that.

"I know, but that still doesn't answer my question of how you'll pull that off,"

Kayn ignored Wesley as he looks at Jude instead and asked. "Jude, are the catapults ready?"

He was referring to the catapults that they disarmed during their previous invasion of the Dream Village.

During their planning before they left the Dream Village, he had specifically ordered them to repair the siege weapons so that they can make use of them once the Assembly of Freedom invades them.

Although they were only able to salvage some of the siege weapons as the rest were thoroughly destroyed during the battle. Nonetheless, they can be useful once they are finally repaired.

Jude nodded to confirm. "We've already prepared all of them at the warehouse,"

"You go tell our men to leave a quarter of them in the warehouse while bringing the rest in front of the walls," Kayn ordered.

"Alright!" Jude acknowledges before quickly leaving along with Charles.

"How about us?" Emmet stepped forward.

"Gather your men here, I'll tell all of you what to do next," Kayn responded.

Emmet immediately complied and brought Miya, Amy, Eliam, and Van in front of Kayn.

"Miya, Amy, and Eliam go to the northwest,"

"Van will be at the northeast, and Emmet, you'll stay with me,"

"Alright!"

Everyone immediately complied.

"Now, we wait," Kayn looks at their enemy camp once again.

Time quickly passed.

All the catapults were soon brought to the north wall and were then strategically positioned in three different locations— northeast, north, and northwest. In this way, they can cover a wider range, and wouldn't be at the risk of completely getting destroyed by a single attack.

Not long after that, the meeting area of the enemy camp suddenly went into commotion after a messenger approached them.

Garvin instinctively looked in the direction of the Dream Village and was immediately met with Kayn's gaze.

Kayn smiled before taking out the Kingmaker from his Storage Ring as if to confirm the news to Garvin himself.

Instantly, Garvin stood up from his seat with a look of shock plastered all over his face before being followed by his two deputies, Ekin and Silas. The duo put their hands on their respective weapons as if ready and prepared to attack at any given moment.

The rest of the Executives around the meeting table also stood up.

"Come-and-get-it-if-you-dare," Kayn muttered word by word with his mouth in hopes that Garvin would be able to get it.

As expected, Garvin understood.

However, contrary to what Kayn was hoping, Garvin simply shook his head before returning back to his seat. He also motioned with his hand for the rest to calm down and return to their seat.

"Too bad, he didn't fall for it," Kayn was slightly disappointed.

"What's wrong with you?!" Wesley exclaimed in panic at Kayn. "You were supposed to prevent him from attacking us, yet you tried to provoke him,"

"It worked, right?"

The end justifies the means.

In the end, Garvin didn't attack them.

That's all that matters.

"What if it didn't?"

"That's why I had the catapults prepared,"

Without a doubt, Garvin would intercept and prevent the catapult attack from striking his army, particularly since he had recently suffered a significant loss of a quarter of his entire force.

"For goodness sake, they are desperate to get the Kingmaker!"

"It is Chief Kylo who is desperate, not them," Kayn turned around. "Even if they know their leader desperately wants the Kingmaker, the most reasonable thing to do is to wait for his order instead of making a move on their own,"

"How can you be so certain of that?" Wesley is still doubtful about that.

"Because the Assembly of Freedom functions like a mercenary," Kayn had heard from Maria before that the organization is just similar to the Thieves Guild Alliance. In that case, a mercenary group.

Following the way a mercenary group functions, they won't do anything unless their leader would tell them to do it.

The only people who are excepted by that rule who are currently present in the area are the Freedom Fighters, which he isn't worried about as he had long already prepared Emmet's squad specifically to deal with them if they dare to attack.

Speaking about the Freedom Fighters, Kayn asked Wesley. "How come I still haven't seen those people?"

"Perhaps they're having fun at the Hush Village. You might not know this, but even Garvin can't control them. Most of the time, they only follow Chief Kylo's direct order, and occasionally the Assembly Knights and they hated us so much because we always leave them with no other choice,"
