Chapter 95: An army without any generals part 1
As they were making their way to their next target, Kayn made some low-voice conversation with Natas.
"By the way, how did you know that Adolfo is a member of the Assembly of Freedom? He shouldn't be in the tent like you claimed, right?"
"Well, the other four were in the tent, so it isn't wrong to assume Adolfo to be one of them,"
"I guess so,"
"There were others too. So, never assume that the five people on the list are the only people we should watch out for,"
"Make sure to tell me if they are one of them or not,"
"Rest assured, I have memorized all of their faces,"
"Just make sure that's really the case," After all, it would be truly bad for him and the others if they stumble upon someone who they thought to be just a random soldier of the Tenderfoot Village but turns out he is actually one of the members of the Assembly of Freedom.
He had already seen multiple instances of the disadvantages of underestimating one's enemy, and he doesn't want to experience it himself or the others with him.
"Tell me immediately once you see someone familiar, alright?"
"Trust me," Natas nodded his head.
"Let's catch up to them," In order for the others not to hear him, he had purposely slowed down.
"Where are the other two? I thought that they were with you?" Friedrich asked Natasha.
"We got ambushed along the way. They stayed behind while the two of us went on ahead,"
"They'll catch up later," Jackson assured. The people who ambushed them only had a numerical advantage against them. There was no one prominent enough that came along with them who could pose any threat to their lives. That was the main reason why their two comrades confidently choose to stay behind.
"Contribution points," Friedrich quickly understood their reason.
"We also made some of our own," Natasha reminded them of Lotte.
"You don't mind sharing this time, right?" Cedrick can't help but ask. Fate knows how long Lotte has been following them or how long it took Natasha and Jackson to kill him considering he is one of the two dangerous people amongst the five on their list, but since there's only two of them, they'll be sharing the bounty on Lotte's head between only the two of them. It's definitely going to be a lot.
"If we mind it, we wouldn't have come here to find you," Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Gilbert is with us, that can be a reason," Roshan smirks.
"He is in good hands," Natasha glimpsed at Friedrich.
"Fair enough,"
"Anyways," Friedrich interrupted, "Where did you see the others?"
They're now close to the army camp, so he is assuming their next targets are closed by.
"When we were passing by, they were making their way their way to their army,"
"That's bad," Cedrick looks at Friedrich.
"We can't ambush them if they are now in their army, let alone catch them in surprise,"
"We'll also have to deal with their soldiers as well,"
"That's right,"
"So, what do we do?"
"Let's confirm it first before coming up with any plans,"
"Alright,"
Since they'll have to confirm the situation first, Natasha led Friedrich and the others to the unit of their remaining targets.
"The Knights unit is at the frontline along with the Guardians unit, so it's a bit far from where we are currently at. But the Mages unit and Priests unit are close to each other, thus we can easily spot Margie and Rose, and we are closer to them," Natasha informs them.
"Hopefully, the two are also just sticking close to one another, because that would be perfect for us to just charge straight at them," Friedrich pleads.
Mages and Priests aren't really a serious problem for them.
What happened not so long ago was clearly an exception though, as those people are obviously trained for fights like that and the situation was also ideal for them to execute their strategy.
However, when it comes to battle where there are a lot of people involved in a limited area, even if they are well prepared and has a strategy in dealing against melee combatants like them, they won't have enough space to do anything as they are sticking closely with each other.
"There they are," Natasha signaled everyone to hold their ground and observe the unit not far from their location. "Those are the Mages unit and Priests unit,"
"And those two are Margie and Rose," Cedrick pointed at the two women who are identical to the image that Friedrich showed them before.
"Two bewitching beauties," Kimberly said in a remark.
"How shameless," Gilbert rolled his eyes at Kimberly.
"What did I do to you this time?!" Kimberly quickly pulled Gilbert's collar.
Gilbert started whistling to the side.
"I wouldn't be surprised if these two get married and become husband and wife," Natasha can't help smiling.
"Definitely," Jackson nodded his head.
"I agree!"
"I second!"
"Third!
"..."
"There's absolutely no way," Gilbert and Kimberly said at the same time before staring at each other and quickly avoiding gazes.
"Is that so?" Kayn can't help butting in. But he quickly changed the topic, "So, what plans are we looking at here?"
"Charge in and hope for the best, I guess. Perhaps you have something in mind? Something similar to the plan you pulled with Adolfo," Friedrich looked at Kayn hopefully.
"Who's the new guy?" Jackson looked at Kayn from top to bottom.
"Someone we are currently babysitting,"
"I thought it was only me?"
"Not anymore," After seeing Kayn's capability, there's no way they'd let Gilbert babysit him alone.
"We might even believe that he is the one babysitting you instead," Cedrick put his hand on Kayn's shoulder.
"Kayn is the little brother of the entire first squad now," Roshan smiled.
"You okay with this?" Gilbert looks at Kayn.
"Why not?" Kayn smirks.
"Traitor! I thought we had a thing!" Gilbert felt betrayed by his friend.
"Be careful with your words. Kimberly might get jealous of Kayn,"
"No way!" Kimberly puffed her cheeks in annoyance and crossed her arms. But a slight blush could be seen on her cheeks.
"Jokes aside," Kayn's voice turned solemn, "How about we throw smoke bombs everywhere and Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson would kidnap the two and bring them somewhere quiet,"
"Diaz would definitely react immediately if we make such a huge mess,"
"Is there any other way aside from making a huge mess? Let him follow! Then, we'll deal with him as we see fit, like what you both did to Lotte,"
"I am not only talking about Diaz. I am talking about the entire army,"
"Then let's bring them to our Village. Let's see if they dare to continue following after us,"
"You…" Natasha was speechless. This young man seems to be able to find every slightest hole possible to slip in with his reasons.
"I am actually not joking. We come from here, and we run to our opposite side. And then we make our way back to the Green Horn Village. It isn't that far anymore. Probably a few hundred meters of running and we'd arrive,"
"Along the way, we can delay the army, kill some of them in the process,"
"Or, we can reveal the fact that their leaders are members of the Assembly of Freedom," Friedrich immediately remembered his discussion with Old Chief George.
"How do you plan on doing that? Reveal yourself and announce to their entire army where you are hiding?" Gilbert felt that Friedrich's plan is ridiculous.
"You'll be the one doing it," Friedrich devilishly smiled at Gilbert.
"Ehhh?" Gilbert took a step back away from Friedrich.
"You're overreacting," Friedrich chuckled. "You and Kayn will go back to the Green Horn Village and inform Old Chief George of our plan,"
"Me too?" Kayn felt wronged.
"There's nothing more you can do here. And I can't possibly allow you to go with us as we sneak into their army, right? Even if we are using smoke bombs as cover to hide our movement and presence, that still doesn't guarantee that they won't find us,"
"I wouldn't be worried if it's only us. But I am not confident anymore if you come along. I hope you don't take offense,"
"I understand," Kayn could only nod his head in acceptance. Compared to Friedrich and the others, he is still very weak. Not to mention, this is still his second day in 'The Bridge', yet he is already getting himself tangled with something this huge — a war, to be exact.
War wasn't even something they have included in their list of what to expect once they are finally inside 'The Bridge'.
What's important is; he already did his part. It's time for him to take a step back and leave the rest to the professionals.
"Next time, I promise I'll let you join us in an expedition of equal scale as this,"
"Next time, okay?"
"Yes, next time," Friedrich nodded his head.
"Okay," Kayn turns to look at Gilbert, "Let's go!"
"Alright!"
"Take care!" Natasha and Jackson waved their hands at Kayn and Gilbert.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
