The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 178: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 16

The next day, Kayn went to the Drowsy Village to find Jericho as he wanted to inform the latter about their plan. Jericho deserves to know about it because he is their group\'s ally.

Jericho and the Herald Guild\'s base of operation in the Drowsy Village wasn\'t really hard to find. Just ask any random person in the street and they would be able to point the right direction.

Kayn did just that and soon he found himself in front of a huge mansion.

Considering the nature of the Herald\'s Guild, which is an assassin and merchant guild, he finds it quite reasonable that their base is a mansion instead of a store, a shop, or probably an office.

After informing the guard waiting at the gate of his presence, Kayn waited for ten minutes before he saw Jericho quickly running to the gate.

"Kayn!" Jericho called out as soon as he saw Kayn waiting at the gate.

"Jericho!" Kayn called back.

"I tried to get here as soon as possible when I heard you came," Jericho explained as he motioned his hand to the guard to open the gate.

The gate opened and Kayn walked in.

"It\'s okay," Kayn totally doesn\'t mind. He knew the process and he respects it.

"To what do I own the pleasure of your presence in my simple abode," Jericho said with a chuckle.

"If this was simple, then what would you call our base of operation," Kayn responded jokingly.

"Anyways, let me take you to my office. Let\'s talk in there. I assume that you are here to discuss an important matter,"

"Lead the way,"

"But before that," Jericho looks at the guard. "Next time, make sure that he enters the gate first while you send someone to inform me,"

"Alright, sir Jericho," The guard acknowledged.

Jericho took Kayn on a brief tour around their mansion, introducing to the latter their base of operation.

"Your guild is very well prepared," Kayn said in a remark.

"I actually plan to make this place our headquarters in the near future. That is why I prepared all necessary things that our guild would need for any given circumstances," Jericho motioned his hand to the door at the end of the hallway. "That\'s my office,"

Kayn and Jericho walked inside.

Jericho made Kayn take a seat before he went to get the tea at the side and serve the latter some.

"Thank you,"

"So, what do you want to discuss?" Jericho asked as he take a seat opposite Kayn.

"Well," Kayn starts explaining to Jericho the plan of their group.

After ten minutes, Jericho put down his tea and sat straight.

"You guys are insane!" Jericho exclaimed. "But I like that!"

"Good to know," Kayn felt relieved knowing that Jericho took it positively. Albeit he was already thinking that the latter would agree with it.

"I really didn\'t expect that your group would be capable of executing something like that. Think about it, you\'re all Heroes. Well, at least that\'s what I see. But to actually take the initiative to start the war just so that you can pick up the treasure in the midst of the chaos. I have only seen Villains do something like that,"

"So, what do you want my guild to do?" Jericho was curious about what role the Herald guild would be playing in this master plan.

"I want you to relay this information to the Thieves Guild Alliance,"

"So you plan to make it into a three-way war?"

"If you don\'t mind," Kayn was slightly hesitant if Jericho would agree to it.

Contrary to Kayn\'s expectation, Jericho easily agreed to it. "Well, that\'s not a problem. My guild was already thinking of leaving the alliance soon anyway. This should be a good reason to go about with it,"

"You were?" Kayn can\'t help feeling surprised.

"Now that we are allies, I obviously have to start taking measures on what to do once we are out of \'The Bridge\'. And still being a part of the Thieves Guild Alliance is not a part of that,"

Jericho is more than aware of the reality that the only reason why the Thieves Guild Alliance is still welcomed in \'The Bridge\' despite its bad reputation is due to the limited amount of resources, which includes manpower that their guild could offer. If there was no limitation to that, they would have been treated the same way as the Assembly of Freedom a long time ago.

He doesn\'t plan to be viewed in an antagonistic way by the people on Earth and inside the \'Tower\' in the future. Not to mention his guild that he painstakingly built from the ground up.

Needless to say, he expects that there would still be difficulties when it comes to cleansing their reputation in the future. But that\'s a lot more convincing for the people compared to still being a member of the Thieves Guild Alliance.

"That\'s a good choice," Kayn agrees. In fact, he was about to suggest that to Jericho once he was finished with the main matter. Evidently, the latter was also thinking of what was best for his guild more than him.

"So, other than that, do you want our guild to do something more?" Jericho doesn\'t believe the slightest bit that their guild was only given a single task by Kayn\'s group. After all, this is a huge operation.

"There\'s one more thing that I need your Herald Guild to do," Kayn smiles. "I believe your guild is very familiar with the Quick Sand Operation, right?"

"That\'s one of our specialties," Jericho nodded.

"I want your guild to do that but that on a much bigger scale,"

"How big?"

"Well, if possible, I want you to cover the entire \'The Bridge,"

"That…" Jericho was speechless. "How do you plan for us to do that exactly?" He doesn\'t understand why Kayn believes that they can do that.

"I call it the Information Sand Operation, just a variety of the usual,"

"Alright, so how does it work?"

"You will send your men out on every territory around \'The Bridge\' and pass around a message that the brewing storm of war between the Green Horn City and the Assembly of Freedom is most likely going to take place in the Slumbering Forest,"

"You intend to attract more people here?" Jericho was shocked. Just the plan of involving the Thieves Guild Alliance and the territories around the Slumbering Forest was already a huge deal. Now Kayn expressed that he wants more.

"Our best friend in this masterplan is chaos. The more chaotic it is, the lesser people would be able to know the real goal behind it,"
