Chapter 275: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 78
Chief Kylo\'s method of using Patter to disguise as Wesley was proven very effective as everyone started calming down after hearing the news that Wesley was found.
As for the reason for Wesley\'s sudden disappearance, Chief Kylo explains that it was to take care of his personal needs.
Being members of the Assembly of Freedom, they quickly understood what it meant.
In the end, the topic instantly shifted from Wesley\'s disappearance to which among the women in the brothel in the Freedom City or the Daze Village he screwed up yesterday to the point that he left his duties for nearly a single day and made Chief Kylo and the entire Assembly of Freedom so worried that they panicked just to search for him.
It was quite evident from their reaction alone that it isn\'t just Chief Kylo who is afraid of Wesley, but the majority of members of the Assembly of Freedom are also afraid of the latter as well, or to be exact, his Gift.
"I can\'t believe he actually turned me into a lusting bastard!" Wesley was fuming in anger. But he was helpless to change anything as he can\'t go against Kayn\'s order of staying in the tavern. If it wasn\'t for this, he would have gone out and defended his image.
"It\'s quite obvious that you people aren\'t capable of thinking rationally," Gilbert can\'t believe that with there being a lot of excuses to use, Chief Kylo actually thought of saying that Wesley was away because he has to satisfy his carnal desire. It might have calmed people down and made them understand the situation, but it brought another problem as a result.
"Since the higher-ups decided to screw some women during the war, people would now start doing the same," Gilbert added.
"He is indeed a good leader, but sometimes his judgment is quite flawed," Kayn agrees.
Since this was a problem that the Assembly of Freedom has to deal with, Kayn and Gilbert decided not to bother with it and focus on their mission of Charming Freedom.
As the news about an informant in a certain tavern that knows a lot about what\'s really going on inside the Assembly of Freedom secretly spread amongst the allies of the organization, more and more guild leaders and Executives of various allied forces came to satisfy their curiosity.
It was passed on secretly, so nobody from the Assembly of Freedom was able to get to know of such information, at least not yet.
Time quickly passed as Kayn answered one client after another.
"At the rate of our progress, it\'s only going to be a matter of time before the Assembly of Freedom gets to hear of this," Gilbert informed Kayn. As of this moment, he is disguised as one of the bartenders of the tavern who is in charge of leading the clients to Kayn\'s room.
"Our Undead Apples will also run out," Wesley reminded.
Kayn explains. "There\'s no way for us to cook meals similar to restaurants as that would appear suspicious and would attract unnecessary attention to us,"
That was why they are only serving snacks. Though, as a result of that, they have to use one Undead Apple for just a few snacks.
Moreover, people with higher status don\'t really eat tavern food because of its taste, so there is no way for them to take advantage of the kitchen too.
Not to mention, there are a few guests that order two or more snacks as they listen to Kayn.
"We can only hope that the quality would be able to defeat quantity," This is their only hope.
Initially, Kayn thought that quality would always be better than quantity, but he realized that not all allies are actually powerful, including their guild leaders and Executives. In that case, even if they command a considerable force, it can barely hope to contend against a few squads from the army of the Assembly of Freedom.
"My minions can\'t be under the charm for long as they might start suspecting something is strange about them once we deactivate it," Wesley gave out another reminder to Kayn. This was the exact reason why he only activates them when necessary and whenever he is sure that he won\'t have to make use of them anymore — either because they\'ll be dead or that they don\'t have any use.
Activating them for a prolonged period of time will leave blanks in their memories and as those blanks increase, so would their suspicion.
In addition to that, every use would consume a duration for their charm. And in Wesley\'s case, higher quality personnel means less duration since he barely has the chance to charm them once again as he had never thought of the same strategy as Kayn where he will force them to eat more Undead Apples.
"I know," Kayn already took that into consideration, that is why he isn\'t wasting time and in fact had already thought of another means. "We\'ll leave tomorrow and return to the Dream Village,"
Wesley raised his eyebrow. "Why?"
"They won\'t last for more than forty hours if we don\'t return. And if what Maria said is true that they are facing the main force, then that time would even become shorter," Kayn looks at Gilbert.
Gilbert understood. "When I left yesterday, the enemy forces has already begun constructing boats and bridges to counter the moat we made. Also, our supply is steadily decreasing since they have to secretly leave the Dream Village to prevent the enemy forces from finding out about our secret tunnel,"
"The source of water for the moat has also been blocked by the enemy soldiers, thus we can only rely on the mages to resupply the water in the moat,"
"Have they not thought of using the underwater cave system?"
"They did, but they\'re still connecting a tunnel to the moat,"
"Underwater cave system?" Wesley instantly became curious.
"You\'ll know about it once we return to Dream Village," Kayn doesn\'t plan on letting Wesley know more about their plan yet even though it is impossible for the latter to betray him now. This is just a precautionary measure as he still doesn\'t know the extent of the Active Skill <<Cost of Loyalty>> yet.
