Chapter 246: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 49

In the evening, the entire camp has already packed everything they need before finally leaving for the direction of the Hush Village.

According to Seven, they'll be visiting the Hush Village first to make a report about the situation in the Dream Village. A Messenger Pigeon would carry that report to the Daze Village as the rest of them follow afterward.

This was their normal procedure. In this way, the camp would know ahead of time of the situation and can make decisions on what they should do to Seven's company using the report as a reference before they reach back to base.

Although they left in the evening, Seven's company was still moving quickly under the cover of the night.

As the first rays of morning light graced the Slumbering Forest, they finally arrived at the Hush Village.

It is the first time for both Kayn and Gilbert to enter the Hush Village, so they remained cautious and wary about everything. They also used the rest of the kitchen staff as cover as they blend in with the members of the Assembly of Freedom.

Unlike the Dream Village, the entire Hush Village has been turned into a crazy place by the Assembly of Freedom.

All buildings were being used by the inhabiting members of the Assembly of Freedom in the Hush Village. As for the original residents of the territory, those that were unlucky to escape in time are now imprisoned inside steel cages that are being publicly displayed around open streets.

Some were being treated as mere pets, personal property, or just dead on various tools they passed by that were evidently used for torturing people.

"This is insane…" Gilbert whispered to Kayn.

"Madmans, that is what they are," Kayn said as a remark.

Contrary to Kayn and Gilbert, the rest of the members of Seven's company seems to be enjoying the sight.

They realized that the madness hidden within these people they came along with was perfectly hidden during the operation in the Dream Village. And the second they reach their territory, like a snap of a finger, their real character has shown.

"Old Mayor George was right. We indeed can't spare any of their members,"

An aura of murderous intent covered the entirety of Gilbert.

"Calm down, we can't afford to reveal who we are in here," Kayn patted Gilbert.

Hearing that, Gilbert starts calming down.

"Is it possible for us to save these innocent people they've captured?"

"Unfortunately, we can't," Kayn shook his head. It is next to impossible to save these people considering that there are members of the Assembly of Freedom all over the Hush Village. The instant horns of war echoed around here, there's a high chance that they'll kill all of their captives.

Moreover, suppose that it is possible to save these people, they will no longer live their lives the same way they used to. The trauma of experiencing this kind of event is no doubt going to remain for the rest of their lives. They'll have trouble thinking straight and they'll just be thrown inside mental hospitals in order to protect themselves and at the same time prevent them from harming others.

So, in his opinion, it is much better to just end their misery here instead of allowing them to continue living.

Gilbert was very ignorant about that, and the only thought inside his head is to save these people regardless of what.

"If you don't feel comfortable with it, you can always choose to leave and let someone else replace your spot," Kayn suggested in case Gilbert's performance would get affected because of seeing this kind of scene.I think you should take a look at

"I can do it," Gilbert shook his head. He had witnessed plenty of gruesome scenes already and even experienced a fair share on his own. This situation right now wouldn't affect his performance for this operation.

All of a sudden, Alonzo approaches them. "How are you two feeling? I reckon you aren't used to this kind of scene yet," After all, they were in a peaceful territory like the Dream Village.

"Kinda," Kayn responded.

"It is very exciting, don't you think?" Alonzo smiled widely. "It brings this kind of hidden emotion deep inside you that makes you want to just do whatever you want without caring about any sort of consequences it will bring about,"

"So this is the feeling I am feeling right now," Gilbert snickered.

"Murderous intent? That's just one of them," Alonzo nodded.

Evidently, members of the Assembly of Freedom are sensitive to murderous intent.

Gilbert quickly realized his mistake and felt nervous.

"You don't have to worry, that's quite normal for first-timers," Alonzo assures. "Anyways, the reason why I approached you is that Seven doesn't actually want anyone from his company to release any murderous intent,"

"I thought it was normal," Gilbert raised both of his eyebrows.

"For these people it is, but for us you have to always maintain calmness and serenity. That's the reason why we are chosen to be soldiers of the Assembly of Freedom while these people around us are just ordinary members," Alonzo explains.

"We aren't soldiers though," Kayn expressed.

"I look favorably on the two of you becoming permanent kitchen staff. If you want, I can recommend you to the human resource department once we get back to base,"

"Really?"

Kayn and Gilbert expressed their excitement. It was honestly a genuine feeling, as this is exactly what they wanted.

In an instant, Gilbert's murderous intent disappeared.

"That's a start," Alonzo muttered before leaving back to his position, which is beside Seven.

"Did you use charm just now?" Gilbert can't help asking.

"No, I am just good at cooking," Kayn proudly claimed.

"I highly doubt that," Gilbert chuckled. Though he did taste Kayn's dish, only once when the latter didn't add any Undead Apples yet.

Not long after, everyone arrived at a barracks.

Another Executive greeted Seven and the duo briefly exchange pleasantries before the latter's company was assigned a warehouse to temporarily use as their camp.

After ensuring everyone was settled, Seven departed alongside another Executive to deliver their report of the Dream Village.
