Chapter 291: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 94

That's right. The direction where they are going is to the cave at the west of the Dream Village where the cause of the mana phenomenon above the sky came from.

With the news of the appearance of the Kingmaker in the Dream Village, the finale of the war is about to take place soon.

It wouldn't be long until they start executing the numerous strategies they've long already prepared for the war to come.

And when that time comes, the Kraken will finally make its appearance.

To ensure the successful execution of their final plan, they seek to verify whether the Kraken indeed resides in the dungeon near the Dream Village or if it is another boss-level monster.

The dungeon in question is named Dream Dungeon, owing to its proximity to the Dream Village.

"We are here," Gilbert announced. Because of his familiarity with Kayn, he already gathered as much information as possible to know about this place earlier this afternoon. It wasn't as detailed as he initially expected though, because contrary to his expectations, barely anyone actually went to this place because it was restricted by the Chief to go here.

The previous Chief of the Dream Village was infamous for severely punishing anyone who dares to break his rules and laws. And that is why even though there are barely any of his guards stationed at this place, nobody still dares to secretly infiltrate the dungeon.

Speaking about guards.

"Who goes there?!"

A man clad in steel armor emerged, accompanied by a squad of twenty soldiers, each armed and ready for battle. He seems to be the leader.

According to the information they've gathered, there is a squad stationed at the Dream Dungeon that can only be contacted by the previous Chief. Their supply is also personally sent by the Chief himself or they can go hunting around the proximity of the dungeon as they are used to the Chief occasionally being so busy to the point that he has no time to come and visit them.

"Are you the squad in charge of protecting this place?"

"Yes," The man clad in steel armor nodded. "State your name and intention, otherwise we will execute the two of you for trying to trespass the Dream Dungeon,"

"How long have you been staying here?" Gilbert suddenly asked.

"That doesn't matter," The man clad in steel armor shrugged his shoulder, completely disregarding Gilbert's question.

"It does matter, and I am also answering your question. It's just that, circumstances have changed, and depending on your response, your squad might live to see what's currently happening away from this place right now or you die here," Gilbert took out his dagger and releases an intense aura that declares he is between level 40 to 45.

Recognizing the significant difference in their levels, the man in steel armor gestured for his men to lower their weapons and show respect to the two guests.

"What do you mean?" The man clad in steel armor inquired with curiosity. He wasn't naive. Considering the powerful individual's remarks, something serious must have occurred in the Dream Village. He even suspected that the Chief might have already perished. This would explain why they hadn't received any supplies and had to find ways to survive while upholding their duties and remaining hopeful for updates from the outside world.

"There is a war currently going on all over the Slumbering Forest, this, you might have already heard?"

"Yes," The man confirmed.

"Alright," Gilbert nodded his head. "The previous Chief of the Dream Village was killed after we confirmed that he allied himself along with every single soldier of his territory to the Assembly of Freedom,"

"You are part of the Old Chief George's force?" The man was surprised.

"He is called Old Mayor George now," Gilbert corrected. "Now, considering you are part of the previous Chief's personal force, we are assuming you have also allied with the Assembly of Freedom, thus depending on your response, it will decide whether you will live to see the light of another day or die"

"We aren't allies with the Assembly of Freedom!"

"We are simply ordinary soldiers!"

"Please spare us!"

In an instant, the rest of the soldiers behind the leader started voicing out their responses.

"As you can see,"

"It seems like you've already been preparing yourselves for this time," Kayn interrupted.

This caused the man in clad armor to widen his eyes in shock. He didn't expect that his ploy would be discovered.

"We…"

"You're not being sincere," Gilbert can already understand that everyone here has prepared a script specifically to deal with this kind of situation.

"That's because we are afraid,"

"Afraid?"

"I've been sending out my men every day to gather information on what exactly is going on in the Dream Village. It was then that we discovered that the village has been defeated and is now under the rule of the Green Horn City, and seeing that none of our comrades were spared, we assumed that it is because of our village's allegiance to the Assembly of Freedom,"

"Is that your response?"

"Wait, wait, wait, no!" The man clad in steel armor hurriedly continued. "We are not allies with the Assembly of Freedom. It was only our Chief and some other soldiers. The reason why we have no other choice but to fight is that we can't go against our Chief's order, otherwise, we will be executed,"

"So, you are telling me that the previous Chief forced you?"

"That's right!"

"He was a tyrant!"

"If we don't follow any of his orders, we die. If we leave, we die!"

From their response alone, Kayn and Gilbert easily understood that the previous Chief of the Dream Village had implanted a strong sense of fear in all of these soldiers.

"Since you've sent some men to check the Dream Village, you should probably know already that he has died," Gilbert was confused. "In that case, you are free to leave this place any time you want and start a new life,"

"We do, but," The man clad in steel armor looks at the Dream Dungeon. "The Chief's personal bodyguards are inside the dungeon and we are afraid they'll hunt us down if we leave,"
