The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 189: The Clouds of War

The next day, Kayn and everyone from the Evergreen Village gathered together at the open area near the shore to await Old Mayor George\'s arrival.

It was a very huge event, but despite that, only a few necessary people were present to welcome Old Mayor George. That is clearly because this is supposed to be a secret.

Kayn\'s group.

Friedrich and the first squad of the Green Horn Knights.

Gnarlak and the Goblins of the Evergreen Village.

And lastly, Jericho and some loyal Executives of the Herald Guild.

As the light of the sun shone on the beach, a huge figure of a turtle could be seen quickly approaching from the horizon.

"They are here," Kayn muttered.

"This is my first time seeing the famous Old Mayor George ever since I entered \'The Bridge\'," Jericho whispers.

"Seriously?" Gilbert couldn\'t believe it.

"Unlike you, I was unlucky and I went to the other side,"

"That explains why you became a thief,"

Jericho rolled his eyes and ignored Gilbert.

It didn\'t take long for the Guardian Turtle to reach the shore.

"Holy!" Jericho exclaimed in surprise. "Why didn\'t anyone tell me that there is a humongous turtle on your side? If you\'d told me this from the start, we would have immediately sworn allegiance to the Green Horn City,"

A Guardian Turtle.

This was no different from the Kraken lurking under the Slumbering Forest.

Though if one compared the fighting power of the Guardian Turtle and the Kraken, the latter would definitely win, there\'s no doubt about that. But if one considers the fact that the Guardian Turtle has so many allies, the Kraken would no doubt lose the fight.

"Is this your secret weapon against the Kraken?"

"I am afraid I don\'t plan on sending my protector on a suicide mission," Jude unhesitatingly dismissed the idea.

"Too bad," Jericho slightly felt regretful. Things would definitely be easy if they did.

"If it really comes to that, we will just send the Guardian Turtle to clear the path for us," Kayn muttered.

"That, I will allow," Since that was the original plan.

In the next moment, a figure of an old man slowly walks down from the shell of the Guardian Turtle.

It was Old Mayor George.

Behind the mayor were other figures, including Chastine\'s second squad of Green Horn Knights, and other more unfamiliar people. There were nearly hundreds of them.

What caught Kayn\'s attention, in particular, were the seven figures sticking closely to Old Mayor George.

As he doesn\'t want to waste time on guessing, he asked Friedrich who those people were.

"That\'s Emmet, the leader of the third squad of the Green Horn Knights. He is a Knight just like me, but he specializes in wind element offense," Friedrich started introducing.

"That other one beside him is Fabian, the leader of the fourth squad of the Green Horn Knights. He is a Healer like Chastine,"

"That one behind the three is Chief Kody, the Chief of the Rockstone Town, one of the renown Towns in \'The Bridge\',"

"The one he is talking to Chief Kellan, the Chief of Seahorizon Town, another renown Town in \'The Bridge\',"

"Those three that are silently following behind the two Chiefs are Chief Kash of Kash Town, Chief Harlem of Riverside Town, and Chief Perceval of the Welsh Forest Town,"

"Those five Chiefs are famously known as Old Mayor George\'s comrades in the earlier days of \'The Bridge\'. The six of them formed the famous party known as the Six Independence Wings, as their main goal was to find a way to free everyone from \'The Bridge\',"

"The Assembly of Freedom also uses that name as a reference in the earlier days, too. Albeit their real motive wasn\'t for freedom, but instead to imprison everyone in this godforsaken place,"

Old Mayor George finally stepped on the sand as the stern look on his face fade away and was soon replaced by a warm smile. "Everyone,"

Gnarlak went to approach to welcome the esteemed figure to his humble territory. "Welcome to the Evergreen Village, Old Mayor George,"

"A Goblin? I didn\'t expect that indigenous people of the \'Tower\' actually exist in \'The Bridge\'," Old Mayor George accepted Gnarlak\'s handshake. "May our two races live in peace and harmony,"

After shaking Gnarlak\'s hand, Old Mayor George turns to look at Friedrich and the members of the first squad of Green Horn Knights before his sight eventually landed on Kayn.

Seemingly in an instant, the warm smile turned into a furious glare. "You imbecile kid!"

Kayn scratched his head awkwardly.

"I told you to never leave my territory until you clear \'The ways of The Bridge\'. Look at what happened to you! You…" Old Mayor George paused. "You grew strong? That\'s a surprise. I guess you never truly needed people to shelter you. That idiotic Sebastian is really overprotective of his son-in-law,"

"He was just doing what he believes is the safest action for me in a foreign place," Kayn defended.

"It\'s great to be overprotective, but sometimes they also must push the chick from the nest in order for it to learn how to fly," Old Mayor George approaches Kayn. "And you\'ve not only learned how to fly but also to soar,"

"What level are you right now?"

"Level 30,"

"That\'s quite fast. In our days, it took us more than three months to reach that level,"

"It\'s even slower than what I expected,"

"Sometimes you have to be contented with your current achievements. Otherwise, you might get lost in your road ahead,"

"Is it because of them?" Kayn pointed at the people standing not far behind Old Mayor George. The latter wasn\'t the type who gives pieces of advice like a wise and kind old man. He felt that it was strange until he realize that the people behind Old Mayor George are his previous comrades.

"Yes," Old Mayor George felt helpless. He has to act like a wise and kind old man because of them. If he didn\'t, they will argue with everything that he said.

"Anyways, Gnarlak will be the one to tour you around his territory. You should communicate with him for whatever you need," Kayn changed the topic.

"Alright!" Old Mayor George nodded his head as he turned around and started conversing with Gnarlak about the arrangement for their group.

Not long after the arrival of Old Mayor George\'s group, dozens of huge ships were soon seen approaching from the horizon.

Even without needing to ask, they were obviously the rest of the forces that Old Mayor George brought with him.

Clearly, everyone can\'t possibly fit on the Guardian Turtle\'s back regardless of the fact that the monster was even bigger compared to five of those ships.
