Chapter 224: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 27

Along the way to the exit, they started spotting other people using the underground passage to leave the Daze Village.

It\'s quite evident from this sight alone that it isn\'t only them that received the news of the Assembly of Freedom\'s attack.

Although the majority of people who are leaving are those that own huge businesses in Daze Village and have access to the underground passageway from their property.

Kayn spotted some familiar faces from the entrance of the Daze Village earlier ago within the crowd of people.

"Be careful, we have company," Kayn warns everyone.

"Should we eliminate them in case they try to inform the Assembly of Freedom that there are people evacuating here?" Gilbert grabbed the hilt of his daggers by the waist.

"Don\'t, they\'re just like us," Kayn shook his head. He also hasn\'t confirmed yet just how many they are exactly, so if they try to confront them without having taken into consideration every ally of the Assembly of Freedom present here, they might just try to sabotage this entire operation to get their revenge.

"Alright," Gilbert took his hand away from the hilt of his dagger.

Ten minutes later in the evacuation, everyone started hearing sounds of battle coming from up above their heads.

Explosions.

Loud cries.

Collapsing buildings.

Those were the familiar sounds that they would consistently hear as they make their way to the other exit of the Daze Village.

Fortunately, the sounds of battle were still far from where they are.

"Prepare yourselves," Kayn reminded everyone as he saw the exit not far from where they are. "As soon as we make it through the exit, that\'s where our battle will begin,"

It\'s quite clear already that the Assembly of Freedom doesn\'t recognize foes from allies anymore, at least that\'s the case in the Daze Village, after what happened during the ball.

After all, other than the fact that they were attacked in the ball they orchestrated for the allies in the Daze Village, their allies in this territory also prove themselves useless during the chaos. In the end, they even started killing themselves. Not to mention, they saved themselves during the chaos when they were making their way to the headquarters instead of helping everyone, which once again proves that when the war comes, these people won\'t serve any use on the battlefield as there\'s a sure chance they will run away.

Needless to say, this includes Jericho and the Herald Guild.

It isn\'t bad though since their goal right from the start was to simply find the key in the city of the Assembly of Freedom and steal it once there\'s a chance for them to do it.

However, this wasn\'t entirely their fault, Wesley and the people who were entrusted with the arrangement of security and safety for the ball are the main offenders as they didn\'t handle their assignments perfectly.

In other words, the allies in the Daze Village are just scapegoats for the crime of Wesley and his company. And also a method to satisfy Chief Kylo\'s anger from losing not only the Kingmaker but also the Levitation Scepter.

Not long after, Kayn\'s group reached the exit of the Daze Village.

This exit of the Daze Village wasn\'t to the opposite side of where the army of the Assembly of Freedom is currently attacking.

Their goal is to go to the Drowsy Village, which is located to the north, and the city of the Assembly of Freedom is to the west, which means that this is the north exit of the Daze Village, just a few kilometers away from the west exit.

As expected, there were a few soldiers waiting at the exit for anyone that tries to think of leaving the Daze Village and repeating the offense of just saving themselves. I think you should take a look at

"Eliminate everyone you see that isn\'t part of our group," Kayn gave the order.

Gilbert and the others nodded as they then started executing the command.

Over the carriages of the Wing Boots Auction House, multiple men with the mage, priest, and marksman class revealed themselves and started raining havoc on the army of the Assembly of Freedom blocking their path.

It wasn\'t only the men from the Wing Boots Auction House that fought back, the others who evacuated with them also launch their formation and assisted.

This resulted in an all-out brawl between the two sides, a beginning to what appears to be the spark that started the war.

Because of the commotion that sounded from the north gate, more and more soldiers of the Assembly of Freedom arrived.

"If we prolong this, it would become impossible for us to escape," Gilbert expresses his worry.

"Jericho," Kayn looks at Jericho.

"Yes?"

"Save only the necessary valuables, and leave the rest. We can\'t afford to be delayed any further," This is the only choice they have.

"Master Khalid!" Jericho called out as an old man with tan skin quickly approaches.

"Yes, Chairman Jericho?"

"I want you to leave the rest of the items behind and only bring the real valuables. After that, we will leave our carriages and use the horses only or our foot if necessary to quickly leave this place," Jericho made it clear that they have no time.

Master Khalid understood this, so he quickly executed the change of plans.

In just two to three minutes, everything was already prepared for their quick escape.

Horses were taken off from the carriage.

Valuables are stored inside Storage Rings instead.

And the staff of the Wing Boots Auction House on the ground prepared and ready.

Pulling himself on top of the horse, Kayn then raised his sword to point to the dark sky, "Retreat!"

In the next moment, everyone from the Wing Boots Auction House charged to the north without any ounce of hesitation.

As they reach closer to the dense forest, Master Khalid suddenly issued. "Begin!"

All of a sudden, dozens of staff of the Wing Boots Auction House stood up from their horses and with a wave of their hands, they started throwing multiple valuables to the side.

Countless treasures rained as if pies falling from the sky.

Just like what the experienced merchant Master Khalid expected, the army of the Assembly of Freedom fell to their greed as they temporarily stopped chasing after them in order to grab as many treasures as possible.
