Chapter 230: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 33

Entering Old Mayor George\'s hut, Kayn immediately saw him drinking tea on the sofa.

"Everyone, sit," Old Mayor George motioned his hand at the sofa opposite from him.

Kayn and the others sat on the sofa.

"I heard that you went on a tour around the base this morning and even helped some of the staff on handling the excess manpower," Old Mayor George smiled. "So, how was your investigation?"

Kayn already expected that he can\'t hide his real intention from Old Mayor George. So, he responded with honesty, "The majority of people are loyal to our cause,"

The merchants and those adventurers assigned as hard laborers were evidently very eager with their job.

"And who are those minorities?"

"The staff,"

That\'s right. He noticed some of the staff who were assigned with the responsibility to manage the adventurers were being absent-minded and irresponsible with their job. Moreover, they were purposely failing their task despite the fact that it was very easy.

"Which department?"

"Siege Machines, Weapons, Potions, Tools, and Armor, all five major players for the war," Kayn recounted. "It wasn\'t all the staff, but over half of them are unfit for the position,"

"I\'ll take note of that," Old Mayor George nodded his head. "What else?"

"The men, they need a way to release their restlessness. If we can\'t solve this problem soon, it might cause their morale to decrease,"

"What do you suggest we should do?"

"I believe you already know," Kayn crosses his arms together.

"Indeed," Old Mayor George waves his hand, immediately taking out a map of the Slumbering Forest from his Storage Ring. "Out of these five Villages, which one should we attack first?"

"I see," Kayn took the map and showed it to everyone else.

He understood quite well that Old Mayor George intended on making the excess manpower destroy one of the territories of the Assembly of Freedom in order to keep their mood alive.

This was a common occurrence before the war.

Almost everyone would be motivated and excited, but once the war begins, they\'ll start becoming nervous and afraid.

The reason for that is that they don\'t have a clear vision of how the war would turn out to be for their side. Simply put, it is the fear of the unknown.I think you should take a look at

However, if during the preparation they already claimed some victories for their small operation, take for example Kayn and his team\'s successful operation in the Daze Village, such a problem would be minimized. Not to mention, they can use those small successes to boost the morale of their men during the war and decrease their enemy\'s motivation by bringing it up.

"The Daze Village is out of the question, since the main headquarters of the Assembly of Freedom is present over there," Jericho uttered. It won\'t be different from sending men on a suicide mission if they pick the Daze Village.

"Both the Slumber Village and Dormant Village wouldn\'t bring much effect because they are far from the headquarters of the Assembly of Freedom," Gilbert slowly hovered his hand over the Hush Village and Dream Village. "Which leaves us with these two,"

The Hush Village and Dream Village are the two territories to the south of the Daze Village, with the latter being the farthest.

It\'s quite obvious why they are the best territories to destroy.

Firstly, they are close to the Daze Village, so their men would expect that it is going to be one of the major territories of the Assembly of Freedom, even though it is not. So, once they successfully destroy one, they\'ll think they\'ve caused a lot of damage to the enemy\'s camp.

Secondly, they can bring about two respective negative outcomes for the Assembly of Freedom. If they attack the Hush Village, it would open up a huge gap between the Daze Village and the Dream Village, which means the latter is now fully cut off from the head. On the other hand, if they attack the Dream Village, the Green Horn City would be able to expand its operation closer to the headquarters of the Assembly of Freedom since they are currently in the southeast.

Lastly, both Villages provide a good advantage point for the Assembly of Freedom during the war as they are close to the base of Green Horn City. So, if they destroy one, that means they have taken away an advantage point from their enemy.

"If we destroy the Hush Village, that means we can also destroy the Dream Village," Jericho stroked his chin.

An arm cut off from the body means an automatic death. In the case of the Dream Village, they won\'t be able to receive any help from the headquarters once the Hush Village is destroyed. Or even if they could, it would take longer. By then, there\'s a good that they\'ll already be under attack.

"If we expand the operation closer to the Assembly of Freedom, that means they\'ll have less room to breath," Gilbert added.

"However, we will still have to defend again the Slumber Village and Dormant Village," Jude pointed at the two Villages to the east of the Drowsy Village.

"I\'ve already sent all the Green Horn Knights to investigate how those two territories plan on continuing their operation now that the city of the Green Horn Village can no longer fly from one side of the map to the other," Old Mayor George informs everyone. "If their option is to rely on each other, then we can just assign a quarter of our army to fight against them, just enough to keep them at bay or possibly just eliminate them before the war even begins,"

"What do you think, Kayn?"

Both Jericho and Gilbert look at Kayn.

"Attacking the Hush Village might provide us the best result, but it also comes with the most risk since it is close to the Daze Village," Kayn pointed at the Dream Village, "So, I suggest we take the best we can, in that way we won\'t achieve a fair trade like in our last operation,"

"You\'re playing safe?" Jericho can\'t believe it.

"This time, I should. We don\'t have a clear grasp yet on the changes the Assembly of Freedom has implemented after our operation," Kayn believes that this is the best choice for them.

"I agree with Kayn," Old Mayor George nodded in accordance. He looks at Jericho and said. "In the meantime, I request that your Herald Guild would send some men to gather information in both the Daze Village and Hush Village during the operation in the Dream Village,"

"I was about to send men to the Hush Village for a rescue mission, so I am going to do that even if you didn\'t ask me to," Jericho responded.

"Anyways, let\'s continue with the meeting," Old Mayor George changes the topic.
