Chapter 214: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 17

As Jericho, Jadiel, and Jude were preparing themselves for the ball this coming evening, Kayn, Gilbert, Charles, and Randy left the Wing Boots Auction House and sneaked their way outside the city of the Assembly of Freedom.

Because of the upcoming ball, the city didn\'t leave the Slumber\'s Gateway this time around.

However, they quickly realized that it wouldn\'t be easy to sneak inside.

"It would be next to impossible to cross this wide-open area without getting noticed by their guards stationed around the walls," Gilbert expressed their dilemma.

"Not really," Kayn waves his hand, immediately taking out the ghillie suit that Gilbert lent to him in the past. "We can use this to sneak our way to the city,"

Even then, it is still not certain whether it is possible to sneak inside the city or not. But at the very least, they now have a way to solve their current problem of getting close to the city.

Gilbert quickly gave Randy a ghillie suit as he is the only one who doesn\'t possess any.

Afterward, Kayn\'s group started crawling toward the wall of the city.

As expected, with the ghillie suit that automatically adjust its color to blend in perfectly with the surroundings, they were able to easily avoid the detection of the guards on top of the city\'s wall.

They soon reached the wall, but because the ghillie suit can\'t adjust its color to blend in with the wall due to the fact that it isn\'t made out of grass, they had to remain in a crawling position as they look for a way to get inside.

"Should we split up?" Randy suggested.

"That would be a good idea, right?" Gilbert turns to Kayn.

In the end, the decision is always up to Kayn to decide.

"Let\'s split into two groups," Kayn pointed at Randy beside him, "I and Randy, while you and Charles,"

"Alright!"

Everyone instantly agreed.

"We\'ll meet up again here in one hour,"

Kayn and Randy slowly started crawling on their way in the opposite direction from where Gilbert and Charles were going.

After ten minutes of crawling, Kayn and Randy notices that there was not a slight change in the structure of the wall. It was like a never-ending plain sight of steel.

Although they did start noticing that there are certain locations on top of the wall with no guards stationed around.

However, the walls still had no holes in them that they can use to sneak inside.

"We can climb with ropes on those locations at night, I believe," Randy suggested.

"Let\'s take note of that," Kayn nodded. As of now, their main goal is to find a sewer or somewhere else where the city throws its waste away. That\'s the best location they can use to sneak inside with a low chance of anyone detecting them. And with the city being one that is based on the industrial revolution, there should be plenty of those.

As for Randy\'s suggestion, it is honestly very good, but the possibility of getting in without anyone noticing is very low, especially if one considers the fact that the city\'s security would no doubt increase during the ball. And if they try it now, there\'s an even bigger chance because it\'s daylight.

Kayn and Randy continued on their path as they look for a better way to sneak inside.

After close to an hour of crawling and their hopes of finding a better way to sneak inside slowly fades away, they finally found a hole that seems to be the sewage of the city.

The problem though is that, unlike the normal sewage where it passes underneath the wall, the one in front of them was in the center of the wall. The good part though is that there are multiple of them.

"In the end, we still have to climb on the wall to reach it," Randy looks at the top of the wall. "It\'s not even far from the top of the wall, so we should be able to,"

"I know," Kayn understood. Going on top of the wall has now become one of their best options as well if they go with it on this side of the wall.

"There\'s no certainty where those sewage tunnels would lead us, and I don\'t like its prospect due to the building behind the wall," Randy looks at the dozens of chimneys spewing out black smoke to the clouds.

"As much as I want to continue crawling ahead to look for better ways, we are about to hit the one-hour mark. Let\'s make our way back and discuss with the others after hearing their findings on their side,"

"Okay,"

Kayn and Randy crawled back their way to return to their agreed spot.

Upon arriving, Kayn and Randy instantly saw Gilbert and Charles patiently waiting for them while conversing with each other.

"So, what did you guys find?" Kayn immediately changed their topic.

"Just a plain steel wall, nothing else," Gilbert uttered in a disappointed tone.

"Seriously?" Randy couldn\'t believe it.

"We believe that most of their tunnels leading inside the city are underneath the city itself," Gilbert started explaining about the chard spots they found a few days ago when the city left the Slumber\'s Gateway.

"I see," Kayn realized. "So this city is almost impossible to sneak in,"

"Almost?"

"Well, we found some sewage tunnels," Randy explained the progress in their investigation.

"In the end, the best way to sneak inside is going on top of the wall?"

"Most likely," Kayn nodded.

"We can do it at night when they won\'t notice us climbing the walls. Though there\'s a good chance they\'ll spot us once we are on top," Randy expressed.

"We can just kill them before they can alert the others," Gilbert suggested.

"That\'s the problem. If we kill them, they\'ll immediately notice that someone has gotten inside because there will be missing guards,"

"We sneak in fast,"

"There\'s a lot of possibilities we can discuss here, but the best way to know which one to pick is to wait until evening," Kayn believes that it is useless for them to continue with this conversation as it would lead them to nothing. In the end, they\'ll have to wait and see before deciding on anything. "Let\'s stay here until evening. You can do whatever you want in the meantime,"
