Chapter 298: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 101

BOOOOOM!

A huge explosion erupted in front of the Freedom Fang Brigade's wall as countless debris of various sizes were sent flying almost everywhere in the air, mostly to the north where the blast was more focused.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Like a mini-meteor shower, debris started raining everywhere across the battlefield.

Fortunately, there was the previous sphere wall above the Freedom Fang Brigade's formation, thus the damage dealt to their army was minimized to some degree.

Whooosh!

Before the sphere wall could eventually break, dozens of huge barriers soon appeared within the formation of the Freedom Fang Brigade, protecting everyone from the raining debris.

Booom!

The sphere wall finally collapsed.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With the barrier already erected, nobody got hurt by the raining debris.

Whoosh!

Garvin along with his two deputies and Executives flew out of the barrier and started destroying the debris.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden…

Boom!

A sizeable rock was hurled to their wall by Ekin.

"Barriers!"

Boom! Boom!

Before the barrier could appear, dozens of rocks hit the wall of the Dream Village.

"Ah!"

As a result, some of the soldiers close to the walls were blasted by the rocks and got thrown off. Some unlucky soldiers even fell to the burning moat, instantly getting consumed by the ongoing raging inferno.

Bang!

Finally, the barrier was created.

"I didn't expect you'd try to take advantage of my assault," Kayn sighs.

"I just want to see something," Garvin smirked.

"What do you imply?"

"I've noticed something strange," Garvin caress his chin out of interest. "It seems like one of you is missing,"

"Missing?" Kayn pretended to be confused.

"I wonder, where's Lilith?"

"Where do you expect an assassin would go?"

"Probably, she went to fetch your reinforcement?"

"Or perhaps she's trying to bait you,"

"That would have been the case, but too bad for you, I got this piece of crucial information from a messenger pigeon coming from the Dream Village," Garvin took out a piece of paper. In order to completely isolate the Dream Village from the rest of its allies, he had specifically assigned some assassins to make a perimeter ten kilometers around the village and prevent any form of communication from reaching the Green Horn City. And just this morning, one of those assassins caught two pigeons, one coming from the Green Horn City, and the other from the Dream Village.

"The query I sent just now!" Jericho's eyes widened as he instantly recognized the paper.

"That's right," Garvin nods his head. "And here's another one,"

"That's the insignia from the Green Horn City," Jericho informs Kayn.

It means that the Green Horn City had sent a letter but was intercepted by the Freedom Fang Brigade, which finally explains why the Dream Village didn't receive any.

"If it's okay to ask, what does the letter from Green Horn City say?" Kayn hopes that Garvin would tell them.

"Let's see," Garvin gladly complies as he had already read the content inside the letter and it was a piece of good news for the Freedom Fang Brigade. "It says here that something went wrong during their invasion in the Slumber Village, leading to the delay in your request of reinforcement. They hope that you'd be able to continue holding them back for two or more days,"

Garvin turns to Kayn. "That basically sums up everything,"

"It seems that we are all on our own now," Kayn showed a look of disappointment on his face.

Gilbert and everyone's eyes widened in shock. This means that plans have changed and they are left to defend themselves.

But if one would look closely, one would notice that Kayn's lips have formed a slight smile.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the content of the letter actually implies the opposite. In translation, it means; thank you for holding them back for more than two days. And rest assured, the reinforcement is already coming soon.

He and Natas are the only ones that know about this aside from Old Mayor George, which explains the reaction of Gilbert and the others, as the two of them agreed to send this kind of letter when they are finally close to the Dream Village.

"It seems like Lilith didn't fail you," Natas muttered, being aware already of the meaning behind the content.

Kayn smiles in response.

"Should we…" Wesley glimpses at their newly fortified barracks.

"Let's hold on for as long as we can," Gilbert shook his head in refusal. Abandoning the walls now would simply prove fatal for them since almost all their defensive countermeasures are now stationed on the wall, mostly at the northern wall. Retreating would mean their side having fewer ways to defend and buy enough time for themselves.

"That still doesn't prove to me that Lilith is not with us right now," Kayn shrugged his shoulder.

"If she really was, she would have revealed herself right now after hearing that news," Garvin wasn't a fool. No matter how patient Lilith is, she'd have to reveal herself because of the sudden changes in their plan. Not to mention, they'll have to discuss right now how they would respond, thus Lilith has to show herself or else she'll be left on her own.

"Finally, an opponent who isn't a fool," Kayn couldn't hide his delight. "Ever since arriving in 'The Bridge', I've always only met foolish opponents,"

"Does that include me?" Wesley can't help pointing at himself.

"You're the top of them all," Kayn rolled his eyes. If he was in Wesley's shoes, he would have long taken over half of the Assembly of Freedom, or possibly even possess equal strength to Chief Kylo.

"I…" Wesley felt wronged and turned silent.

"Now that you know Lilith isn't in the Dream Village, what would you do next?" Kayn looks at Garvin with a taunting face.

"What are you doing?!" Gilbert panicked.

"We should be trying to defuse the situation not trigger him!" Jericho pulled Kayn's arm.

"Refusing a challenge has never been a trait of mine," Kayn pulled back his arm.

Garvin nodded in approval.
