Chapter 288: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The? Bridge' Part 91

None of the three remaining members of the Freedom Fighters, the Guardian, Mages, and Priest were able to comprehend how exactly everything happened that it turned out for their side to lose three of their members. Not just any members too as the trio are very crucial parts of their flawless formation. Without them now, it is going to be next to impossible for the Guardian to protect the Mage and Priest.

As if to make matters worse for the Freedom Fighters, Gilbert, Jericho, Jude, Charles, Emmet, along with Wesley finally arrived at the situation of the ambush.

Contrary to what Jericho's group were expecting when they were rushing to this place, it seems like they have to save the Freedom Fighters instead of Kayn as the squad was already down three members from their initial six.

It was only less than ten minutes, yet the situation has already turned out this way.

Amongst Jericho's group, Wesley was the most shocked of all as he never expected the young man who he once only thought to be good at conceiving devious plans and bringing forth arson and chaos would be this powerful to the point that he doesn't have any trouble facing against six foe whose level hovered between 35 to 40.

The kind of fighting force the Freedom Fighters presented is actually no different from fighting against someone who is level 50. Although it is still different because the former is a collective effort while the latter is an individual strength.

Nevertheless, this still means that Kayn's strength is is almost equal or even no different from a person who is bonafide level 50.

"Close your mouth," Gilbert pulled Wesley out from his thoughts.

"How come you aren't surprised?" Wesley expressed his doubt at Gilbert's reaction.

"That's not even Kayn's full strength," Gilbert sighs, admitting his inferiority to Kayn. "If you were with me when we cleared a dungeon back then, you would have witnessed how he killed the boss of a dungeon with one single strike,"

"One single strike?" Jude was surprised.

"I did hear about that from Friedrich. Though he didn't say that it was a single strike," Emmet interjected. As far as he could remember, Kayn used everything that he got at the most crucial moment in order to kill the Mountain Gorilla. "Friedrich described it as being able to execute an attack that possess 300% strength,"

"300% strength?!" Jericho was immediately rendered in disbelief as he looks at Kayn in another light. He honestly had the same thought as Wesley, simply thinking of Kayn as a strategist instead of someone who possessed great personal strength.

"Don't believe that just because he barely does anything and focuses more on planning that he is simply good with the latter. You need to think that the best knives are meant for chopping finer ingredients instead of onions and cabbages," Gilbert explains.

"It seems like you have gotten so used to your life as chef now," Jericho chuckled.

"I won't deny, it was one of the most relieving stages of my life ever since I entered 'The Bridge'," Gilbert genuinely found peace whenever he was cooking, though becaues of always stationed in the middle of the enemy's base would constantly disrupt that sense of peacefulness.

"Anyways, what should we do now?" Jude can't help wanting to know how they should react to the unexpected turn of events.

"Watch and wait, I guess…" Jericho could only think of doing so. After all, he doesn't want to disrupt Kayn from his prey. In addition to that, he feels like wanting to see more of Kayn's true power.

Unfortunately for Jericho's team, the reason why Kayn is looking up was exactly because he already noticed them from a mile away.

"Are you guys enjoying watching the show?" Kayn asked loudly.

Hearing Kayn's question, the three remaining members of the Freedom Fighters finally realized that they are surrounded.

Quickly, the Guardian jumped near the Mage and Priest to protect them. Even though he is greatly aware of the fact that his effort is no different from being useless, he still didn't think twice of staying true to his responsibility as the Guardian of the his team.

"How unfortunate," Wesley muttered.

"Wesley?!" The Guardian instantly became shocked at seeing Wesley amongst Jericho's group. Thinking that he was safe, he smiled in delight and turns his head to glimpse at Kayn. "It seems like you are the one who is surrounded,"

"You think so?"

Kayn motioned his hand, and everyone immediately jumped down from the roof and surrounded the Freedom Fighters.

"You…" The Guardian looks at Wesley in question.

"This is not personal, I just decided to change side, that's all," Wesley was now completely sure that he had made a correct decision of joining Kayn's side for this war, especially now that he personally saw some extent of the latter's true power

"Change side?" The Gurdian finally understood. "Is this the reason why you disappeared?"

"No," Wesley shook his head. "I was kidnapped,"

"So, they forced you to switch sides?"

"Quite the contrary. They made me realized which is the better side,"

"The Green Horn City?"

"Of course not," Wesley still doesn't find joining the Green Horn City as great. In fact, he doesn't even see it doing anything good for him. "I simply joined Kayn's side,"

"Kayn's side?"

"That's right! The Assembly of Freedom isn't actually just fighting against the Green Horn City, but also against Kayn. And I joined his side of the fight,"

The Guardian wasn't a fool, so he quickly realized that Kayn and Old Mayor George doesn't actually represent one single organization, but separate. The latter represents the Green Horn City, while Kayn represents an unknown force.

In hopes of staying alive, the Guardian can't help proposing. "Is it too late for me to join?"

"This isn't a game," Wesley sneered. "Where you can just switch side at any time you want,"

"But you can vouch for me," The Guardian hope that with his years of service to the Assembly of Freedom, they would return the favor and help them from this situation. Also, he believes that Wesley isn't genuine with his words. The Wesley he knows was a liar and someone who hides what he truly feels.

"I can't," Wesley grabbed the Kingmaker from the Guardian's hand before pulling it away.

With the weapon taken from him, the Guardian quickly took out a sword and shield from his Storage Ring. This time, he felt as if a gush of spring water was blasted to his body— refreshing and he was relieved that he returned to his origin. He finally realized why they lost.
