Chapter 103: Natas' plan for Kayn's future

"I didn't expect that you can be heartless too," Old Chief George felt slightly surprised at Kayn's suggestion.

Kayn shook his head and responded, "I am not being heartless. There's just no way that we can avoid incurring any casualties in a war. But instead of letting their deaths go to waste, I prefer giving them honorable and meaningful deaths,"

"Tell me, have you ever experienced a war before?"

After hearing the response from Kayn, Old Chief George felt that the former had been to many wars in the past.

"I've seen it in movies countless of times and I understood the reality behind it,"

Old Chief George nodded his head in understanding, "You're right. As someone who bears the heavy weight of this war, one thing that we can do is to make sure that their sacrifice won't go in vain,"

Old Chief George sighs sorrowfully. He never once liked wars. Truthfully speaking, although he has the power to wage a war on the Assembly of Freedom from the moment they made their presence known to everyone in 'The Bridge', he never ever thought of doing so because he dislikes it.

Who likes war though? Especially if one is in the position where they are shouldering everyone's lives.

It's a very heavy responsibility. But with great power comes great accountability. As such, he has no other choice but to do it.

Of course, he feels sorry for those that die.

With that being said, Old Chief George turns toward the general of both the Knights unit and Guardians unit, "I want the two of you to gather all your soldiers and prepare for a battle,"

"Understood, sir!" The two generals didn't bother asking any questions.

As quickly as possible, the two generals began positioning their soldiers on the frontline. Needless to say, they assigned some weak squads to continue providing support to those dealing with the domes since the problem caused by the living puppets is still not solved yet.

"I see that my strategy barely caused any damage because of the unexpected intervention of one of your people," Chief Kylo felt disappointed at his living puppets.

He was initially planning on taking advantage of the open gates of the domes to easily cause disorder within the army of Old Chief George, but because the gates were suddenly closed, and in addition to that, his enemy's army became prepared, his plan ultimately came close to a failure.

Yes, 'Came close', because it is still not over yet.

"Is that young man perhaps your advisor?" Chief Kylo was curious about Kayn's identity after the latter disrupted his plan.

"You could say so!"

"I didn't expect that a time would come when the great Old Chief George would listen to somebody much younger than him!" Chief Kylo chuckled in hopes of irritating Old Chief George.

"If that young person has the capability to enlighten me, then why not?"

"I guess that young man has finally opened your mind to innovation!"

"I am old, so being partnered with someone younger is going to help me keep up with everyone else!"

"Is that the reason why you are finally preparing to engage in a battle against my mercenaries?"

"I was going to do it even without him suggesting such an idea to me!"

"Still as prideful as ever. Say, young man, why don't you just join the Assembly of Freedom and ditch that old man for good!"

"I am afraid but I have to decline!" Kayn made his mouth get close to the voice amplifier in order to make a response.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to be part of a group of frogs in the bottom of a well,"

He had never known about the so-called Assembly of Freedom until he entered 'The Bridge'. This simply means to say that this subsidiary of Circus was destroyed before the people in 'The Bridge' found the exit.

Moreover, the Assembly of Freedom is quite relentless in staying in the 'The Bridge', which simply makes them frogs in the bottom of a well as they seem to literally make it their end goal to rule such a small corner of the 'Tower'.

Chief Kylo can't help being speechless at Kayn's response. "I see that your tongue is as sharp as Old Chief George. No wonder you both became close with each other,"

"I guess that means you have given up trying to recruit my advisor,"

"I suggest you focus on our upcoming battle,"

The moment the short conversation ended, the two generals of the Knights unit and Guardians unit finally finished positioning themselves in the frontline.

Furthermore, a few squads from the Priests units and Mages unit have volunteered to provide support to the Knights unit and Guardians unit.

"For the Green Horn Village!"

"Charge!"

There was no need for Old Chief George to initiate the battle as the two generals are more than capable enough to take charge of the army.

The moment the army started charging forward, the mercenaries also quickly followed suit.

Soon enough, both sides started engaging in a battle.

Old Chief George simply watches the army from his Village battle against the mercenaries while at the same time secretly glimpsing at the corners of the forest trying to find signs of Friedrich and the others.

Kayn was also doing the same thing as Old Chief George. But other than that, he was also focusing on the battle down to the domes.

Ever since he saw the capability of the Kingmaker, he became especially curious about it.

"I'll just say it now, the Kingmaker is actually one of the reasons why I want you to choose the Nobility as your main class," Natas unexpectedly reveals.

Kayn can't help looking at Natas in shock. "Why?"

"One of the reasons is once again about loyalty. You would definitely have a high level of trust issues in the future. There might even come a point where you'd start not trusting me as well,"

"As a solution to that, the Nobility main class and the Kingmaker would help you know the loyalty level of your new comrades,"

"You might not fully trust the main class Nobility because of its relation to the 'Tower', but the soul weapon Kingmaker would definitely make you not afraid anymore because betraying you would be no different to giving you control of their body,"

"One more reason is the ability to be the maker of Kings. Since your main class is Nobility, with the help of the Kingmaker, you'd be able to quickly ascend to higher Noble ranks,"

"Not to mention, you'd be able to help make your new comrades Kings and Queens as well, hence adding more power and influence to your side and also helping you catch up with the first generation,"

"All I wanted to say is; do every means possible to get the Kingmaker in your possession,"

"Isn't that exactly what I am doing right now?" Kayn whispered.

"Not as in right this instant,"

"Why?"

"The reason why the owner of the Kingmaker in the future was able to possess the Kingmaker with no effort at all was probably because the previous wielder had already completed all requirements. As such, when he picked it up, all he has to do was claim ownership of it,"

"I want you to just let fate takes its course right now and not intervene as much,"

"Can I not just complete it myself?"

"Do you want to become the antagonist of 'The Bridge'?"

Kayn shook his head.

"Thought so. That's why it's better for you to just watch on the sideline. Anyways, you have something else you have to find in 'The Bridge'. The Kingmaker is just one of them,"

"I understand,"

"You understand what?" Old Chief George turns to look at Kayn out of wonder.

"I am afraid, but we should not expect that we would be able to capture Chief Kylo today,"

"Is there a problem with our plan?"

"It's not about the plan. I just believe that Chief Kylo has probably prepared a way to escape once he feels that his life is in great danger,"

"Are you suggesting that we make preparations to counter his escape plan?"

"No," Kayn shook his head, "Instead, we should just let him escape,"

"Is it necessary to let him escape?"

"I am suggesting that we let the sheep return to its herd,"

"I'm listening,"

"Since we are already at war against the Assembly of Freedom, we might as well finish it to the very end. By doing so, we can finally focus on looking for the exit to 'The Bridge',"

"I am guessing that one of the main reasons why you still haven't found the exit is because the Assembly of Freedom has probably been secretly intervening in the process,"

"Anyways, we won't be losing anything anyways even if that is not truly the case,"

"Instead, we are going to fix one major problem of 'The Bridge'," Old Chief George quickly realized the reason for Kayn's plan. "Alright! Then let's just watch what Chief Kylo would be doing next,"

Finally, Friedrich and the others finally revealed themselves. Their group sneakily joined in the battle between the army and the mercenaries.

"And it has started,"

Boom!

However, Kayn and Old Chief George's attention was immediately taken away from Friedrich and the others as they shifted their sight to the domes down below.
