Chapter 88: Becoming part of the first squad
"How come no one came?" Kayn asked while picking up the daggers he had thrown at the three assassins.
"I used a skill to prevent any sound from escaping around me," Gilbert responded while also picking up his daggers. "I can't help but noticed that your daggers seem to be a dual element,"
"They are,"
"It sure is nice to be the son-in-law of Mayor Sebastian," Gilbert felt slightly jealous.
"Don't be mistaken. I got this for myself,"
"Ehhh… Are you already doing dungeon raids?"
"Something like that,"
"It seems like Mayor Sebastian choose you for your capability,"
"You're mistaken again. It wasn't Mayor Sebastian that choose me, it was her daughter,"
"Surely you can't expect to believe that, right?"
"Think whatever you want,"
"Kidding aside. Let's return!"
Kayn nodded his head.
Even though they've cleaned up the mess quite perfectly, that still doesn't guarantee that their enemies won't find out what happened here. There is a variety of ways to investigate a place, so it would only be a matter of time before they realize that something is wrong here.
Regardless, as long as they are long gone, it wouldn't matter that much.
The two quickly made their way back to the Green Horn Village to report their findings to Old Chief George.
…..
Kayn and Gilbert followed the same path they took when they left the Green Horn Village, so when they get inside they weren't that far away from the Town Hall.
"Let's hope that Old Chief George is still in the Town Hall right now," Gilbert silently prayed.
As soon as Kayn and Gilbert arrived at the Town Hall, the place was now fortified to look more like a barracks.
There were dozens of earth walls erected using magic spells. They weren't considered a strong defense, but they are good enough to give some protection and block the enemy's vision.
Dozens of Mages and Knights were spread over a hundred-meter perimeter around the Town Hall.
The Knights are guarding the locations where their enemies would most likely enter, whereas the Mages are guarding the airspace, evidently to prevent their enemy from trying to fire magic spells at their location.
Along the way, they have also spotted dozens of assassins on the roofs of the buildings. Clearly, they are the scouts who would send early warnings to the people assigned in the Town Hall.
"Kayn, Gilbert!" Old Chief George called out from the window of the Town Hall.
"Over there!" Gilbert pointed out. "Let's go!"
Kayn and Gilbert quickly arrived on the second floor of the Town Hall. No soldier bothered to stop them after spotting Gilbert.
"Where have you two been?" Old Chief Gilbert asked with a solemn look on his face. He had sent some men earlier ago to get Kayn and Gilbert here, but no one was able to find them.
"We went to scout the army of the Tenderfoot Village," Gilbert didn't plan to hide what they did anymore since the information they have is very crucial in this war.
"I'll skip the part where I have to tell you how angry and disappointed I am because that will waste a lot of time. So, what did you find out?"
"The Tenderfoot Village is part of the Assembly of Freedom,"
"Are you sure?" Old Chief George didn't immediately buy their claim.
"Let me explain," Kayn interrupted. Gilbert has clearly misinterpreted things. "The previous Chief and the current Chief of the Tenderfoot Village are members of the Assembly of Freedom. We aren't certain yet whether the entire population of the Tenderfoot Village is really part of that anarchy group, but I do believe some of them are being tricked,"
"There are currently less than three hundred soldiers in their army — twenty-five healers, fifty mages, another fifty marksmen, twenty-five guardians, one hundred are knights, and the rest should be assassins. And they are currently marching to our door as we speak.
"If I am correct and that some of them are indeed being tricked by Chief Kylo, then we can enlighten them of the truth and by doing we might be able to reduce their manpower,"
"Moreover, there are eleven more other territories that would be attacked. I don't know which Villages, or possibly Towns they are, the only clue I received is that you have supposedly assigned seventeen Green Horn Knights to those territories,"
"Glad to finally hear some good news," Old Chief George felt slightly relieved. "Good work on your scouting. It seems it was unnecessary for me to get mad in the first place,"
"Gilbert, go meet up with the others," Old Chief George turns to look at Kayn. "While you stay by my side. This time, don't think of doing anything else,"
"That would be such a waste, Old Chief," Gilbert can't help but comment.
"Are you going against my order now, Gilbert?"
"Not to offend you, Old Chief, but Kayn's capability is something that you shouldn't underestimate. I saw him kill two assassins with my own eyes, including the leader, and he even assisted me in killing another one. It was also him who gathered almost all of that information, and I was unfortunately not able to help him that much,"
"What do you suggest?"
"I suggest that you allow him to follow me. In that way, he can help me, and at the same time I'll be able to protect him,"
"Absolutely no! The nature of your operations has always been dangerous. I can't possibly allow Kayn to follow you,"
"I am not saying that he would participate in our operations. I only said that he will follow me,"
"If you put it that way, then I guess it's okay. But are you certain you can keep Kayn away from danger during your operations?"
"I was even able to keep him safe while we were inside the enemy camp, so yes, I can guarantee his safety," Gilbert assured.
"Let's hear Kayn's thoughts first," Old Chief Gilbert looks at Kayn.
"No offense, I'll surely get bored if I stay with you. And don't worry Old Chief George, I always prioritize my safety above all else," Kayn smiled.
"In that case, you can follow Gilbert,"
Old Chief George finally gave consent.
Hearing this, Kayn and Gilbert quickly left the room, afraid that Old Chief George would take back his words if they stay any second longer.
"Young people these days always want to seek adventure and danger. It makes me remember my younger days," Old Chief George heaves a heavy sigh while watching Kayn and Gilbert quickly leave the room.
While walking, Kayn can't help but ask, "What does Old Chief George mean when he said to go and meet up with the others? Are we perhaps meeting with the other two Green Horn Knights currently in Green Horn Village?"
"Something like that,"
"And when he said that the nature of your operations is dangerous, how dangerous exactly? Does it involve sneaking into their camp again? Assassinating key individuals during the war? Or are we just going to set up some traps?"
"A little bit of the third, while more of the first and second,"
"That's good! I can't wait!" Kayn instantly felt excited about what they are going to do.
"I might have suggested for you to come with us, but I also assured Old Chief George that I will keep you safe while you are with me. So, your participation would depend on what level of danger the task post to us,"
"Don't worry, I understand," That is also his intention.
After walking down the end of the hallway, Kayn arrived at a door that leads to a cramp-up space on a supposedly third floor of the Town Hall.
"I didn't expect that there's a third floor,"
"It was only because it's necessary,"
Upon walking inside, Kayn spotted four other people, each releasing a fierce and dangerous aura around them.
"Who's this?" A man, who seems to be the leader of the group, stood up and approach Gilbert while looking at the direction of Kayn.
"He is Kayn. Old Chief George told me to let him follow with me,"
"I didn't expect that babysitting would become part of your job, Gilbert," A flirtatious-looking woman said jokingly.
"If only you were assigned as the receptionist when Kayn came, you'd be the one in my place," Gilbert retorted.
"I've never been good with children, so thanks for saving me from trouble,"
"You're my senior, so it's only natural for the junior to take care of such a small matter,"
"Is that your own way of telling me that I am old?!"
"Think however you want,"
"Enough!" The leader interrupted. "I see that you still have a sharp tongue. And seeing that the old man had no problem letting him follow you, makes me believe that he is similar to you. If it's okay to ask, what is your name?"
"You can call me Kayn,"
"Nice to meet you Kayn, I am Friedrich, the leader of the first squad," The man put his hand forward, intending to shake hands with Kayn.
Kayn gratefully grabbed the hand and shook the hands of Friedrich.
After shaking Kayn's hand, Friedrich looked at everyone and said, "Since everyone is now here, let's begin with our meeting. You two can seat on anywhere you want as long as they are vacant,"
"Thank you," Kayn nodded his head.
"Yes, sir!" Gilbert respectfully responded.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

"How come no one came?" Kayn asked while picking up the daggers he had thrown at the three assassins.
"I used a skill to prevent any sound from escaping around me," Gilbert responded while also picking up his daggers. "I can't help but noticed that your daggers seem to be a dual element,"
"They are,"
"It sure is nice to be the son-in-law of Mayor Sebastian," Gilbert felt slightly jealous.
"Don't be mistaken. I got this for myself,"
"Ehhh… Are you already doing dungeon raids?"
"Something like that,"
"It seems like Mayor Sebastian choose you for your capability,"
"You're mistaken again. It wasn't Mayor Sebastian that choose me, it was her daughter,"
