"Do you happen to have anyone in their ranks under your charm?" Jericho suddenly asked.
"That\'s the problem, I always have someone under my charm everywhere," Wesley proudly responded.
Contrary to Wesley\'s expectation of receiving praise from everyone, he was met with piercing gazes from them. It has now become quite clear to him that he still has to work extremely hard in order to get the approval of everyone. Otherwise, his efforts and contribution would just be overlooked or worst be misunderstood.
"We\'ll use them later," Kayn reminded before turning to Jericho. "I\'ll be taking command from now on. In the meantime, inform everyone of the news that Wesley has sworn his allegiance to me through the Kingmaker,"
"Wouldn\'t that be bad?" Jericho felt slightly hesitant about it. After all, Chief Kylo should be dying to get back the Kingmaker every single minute of each passing day.
"That\'s the intention," Kayn understood the risk factor of announcing that the Kingmaker is in the Dream Village. But, that\'s their only way if they want to gather the entire force of the Assembly of Freedom in a single place.
"The Dream Village won\'t be able to hold on with the mass of their force," Jericho objected. He doesn\'t believe that it is a good idea. They should prepare this thoroughly first before deciding.
"I am not expecting the Dream Village to hold on, anyways," Kayn shook his head. This wasn\'t a negotiation, he already made the decision when he was on his way back.
"Are you certain about this," Jude interjected.
"We\'ve thought about this multiple times throughout the journey, and time and time again we arrived at the same conclusion," Gilbert butted in.
Kayn started explaining. "The Slumber Village and Dormant Village have already been destroyed, and as we speak the Liberty Fire Brigade and Unity Circle Brigade are on their way to the Drowsy Village,"
"No way!" Jericho was instantly rendered shocked. "It should be impossible for them to find out this soon,"
"They already did, two days ago. And because of the disruption I\'ve caused, we were informed too late as they\'ve already left when we got to know," Kayn still doesn\'t regret his decision to disrupt the Assembly of Freedom though. Even if he was given another chance, he\'d still do the same.
"This is bad!" Jericho looks at Master Khalid.
"Even if I travel on our fastest horse, it would still be impossible for me to get there on time," Master Khalid shook his head. "And yes, that includes going to the center of the Slumbering Forest as a shortcut,"
"Our only way of making them retreat is if we give them a big enough reason to turn back," This was one of the reasons why he decided to reveal the Kingmaker in the Dream Village.
The Drowsy Village is in danger, and none of them know about it. Also, it is next to impossible for them to inform anyone from there as they are extremely far away. To be exact, they are located at the south of the Slumbering Forest, while the Drowsy Village is at the north.
While they can enter the center of the Slumbering Forest to get there quickly, it still wouldn\'t be enough as the Liberty Fire Brigade and Unity Circle Brigade have left the Daze Village a long time ago.
"Are you sure that they would do that?" Jericho wants to be certain first because he\'d be risking his life and the entire Herald Guild once he does this.
"I can guarantee that for you," Wesley stepped forward. "I have witnessed how frustrated and unreasonable the plans Chief Kylo has proposed to us just to get the Kingmaker back. There was even a point where he is willing to risk the entire Assembly of Freedom just to get it,"
"Well, after all, it is a legendary weapon," Jude found it reasonable enough.
The possibility of finding a legendary weapon is almost close to impossible. Not to mention, finding another one again. Unless one\'s luck is over the top, that\'s the only way they could get another legendary weapon.
Kayn has witnessed countless instances where people risked everything they have in order to possess a legendary weapon, and he has also seen numerous occasions where people steal it from somebody else.
That is how difficult it is to get one legendary weapon.
So, Chief Kylo\'s response isn\'t shocking. In fact, it is within their expectations, especially considering that he knows the capability of the Kingmaker.
"I understand," Jericho finally relented. "I\'ll inform everyone and will take the extra step of making sure the Freedom Fang Brigade really gets to know about it as well,"
"I\'ll leave the job to you," Kayn believes that Jericho will be able to get the job done perfectly.
After Jericho left, Kayn started deligating tasks for each and every one.
For the last task.
Kayn looks at Lilith. "I want you to secretly leave the Dream Village and go meet up with the reinforcement ahead of time to inform them of our plan,"
"I am afraid I can\'t do that," Lilith looks at the major general of the Freedom Fang Brigade, Garvin. It was only because of her presence in the Dream Village that the man still hasn\'t made a move yet. Once she leaves this place, everyone in this territory will be at his mercy.
"I am sending you because you are the fastest among everyone here,"
"I still won\'t agree," Lilith shook her head.
"How about I\'ll go instead," Gilbert volunteered.
"Your job is to guard Wesley and make sure he doesn\'t betray us,"
"He is free to go, I don\'t plan on betraying you anymore," Wesley motioned his hand for Gilbert to quickly leave.
"Here\'s a suggestion," Lilith approached Kayn. "We can send an average soldier out of the Dream Village along with one of the fastest horses in our stable. I guarantee you that he\'ll still be able to get to our reinforcement not slower than me. In fact, you can even do that yourself,"
"I think you\'ve misunderstood. You are the fastest among everyone that Old Mayor George would believe here," Kayn pointed at him and Gilbert.
He had personally witnessed Old Mayor George recommending Lilith to Friedrich personally. The only reason for that is if he trusts her enough to recommend her to be the replacement of Gilbert and to become one of the members of the first squad of the Green Horn Knights, which is the squad he trusts the most.
Lilith turned silent before finally muttering. "When do I leave?"
"Right now!"
The earlier Lilith leaves, the quicker she gets back to the Dream Village and continues deterring Garvin from turning the entire territory into a similar state to the Hush Village — a madhouse.
