Chapter 292: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 95

Both Kayn and Gilbert widened their eyes in surprise as they didn't expect the existence of Chief Dennis' personal bodyguards. In fact, they don't have a clue or any sort of information about the latter even having any personal bodyguards in the first. This is practically their first time hearing about it.

"Chief Dennis' personal bodyguards?" Kayn wanted to know more. With no prior information about Chief Dennis' supposed bodyguards, he is now thinking twice about entering the Dream Dungeon.

He might be reckless, but that's only under the condition that he knows what he is doing and can guarantee that he won't die.

"I don't know how it happened, but a few months ago a group of people suddenly came to the Dream Village, and the next thing we knew they became Chief Dennis' personal bodyguards," The man in steel armor started explaining.

"How many are they?" Wesley started suspecting something as he remembered almost the same thing happening back then in the Tenderfoot Village.

"Five people,"

"It's them!" Wesley blurted out with certainty.

"Them?" Kayn looks at Wesley.

"The same thing actually happened to the Tenderfoot Village before the Assembly of Freedom was officially established. Five people came to Chief Kylo's father, Chief Kydon, and not long after that, he started having a different ideology to Old Chief George,"

"I did hear about that," Gilbert interjected. "I wasn't a member of the Green Horn Knights yet at that time, but I have heard stories that Old Mayor George and the previous Chief of the Tenderfoot Village were on good terms at one point in time, though it wasn't to the point that they are friends. Just that, they don't dislike each other and the only conflict they have was that they are competing with the beginners who enter 'The Bridge' for the first time,"

"Yes," Wesley confirmed. "Needless to say, Chief Kydon didn't just change overnight. He still wanted to establish his ideology in a peaceful manner, that's why he started proposing it to the Chiefs of different Villages and Towns, proposing to stay in 'The Bridge' instead of thinking of leaving this place,"

"Contrary to him, Chief Kylo thought differently. It was the conflicting ideas between the father and son duo that lead to the creation of the Assembly of Freedom,"

Both Kayn and Gilbert finally got to know the real story behind the creation of the Assembly of Freedom.

"Because Chief Kylo wasn't as powerful as he was today, the operation of the Assembly of Freedom wasn't huge. We had to focus on quality instead of quantity in order to establish a significant influence in 'The Bridge' and for people to recognize the threat that we bring. This prompted people to join us, and from then on, we increase in numbers, finally making us a force to reckon with,"

"I thought that the previous leader of the Assembly of Freedom was Chief Kylo's father," Kayn felt confused. This was what he had heard from Natas back then.

"On the surface, it was Chief Kylo who was leading the Assembly of Freedom. But in truth, his father, Chief Kydon, was actually leading it under the shadow,"

"Honestly, the major difference between the previous and current Assembly of Freedom is the former wasn't made up of a bunch of people who only think of killing and destroying everything they don't like, take Garvin for example,"

Garvin has principles and dignity he upholds.

Kayn also remembers another man, Diaz. He was one of the generals of Chief Kylo whom he met back in the past.

"Our actions might not be different from today, but we did them with a specified goal in mind; to become a big enough threat to the point that people would forget about leaving 'The Bridge' and turn their focus on fighting against us, thus finally aiding Chief Kydon's goal,"

"Are you certain that it's really them?" Kayn was quite doubtful about that. After all, just because there are five of them doesn't automatically imply they are the same group as the one that came to the Tenderfoot Village to influence Chief Kydon in the past.

"I…" Wesley wasn't actually a hundred percent sure about what he believed. It's just that, the actions of those five people are very similar to those that came to the Tenderfoot Village.

"Let's ask this man more before concluding anything," Kayn turns his attention again to the man clad in steel armor.

Unbeknownst to Wesley, he was also starting to suspect something special is going on. Because this kind of situation was also similar to what happened in Serenity Town. Albeit those people had eventually fallen victim to Wesley's charm, now he is certain that those weren't the real masterminds behind what prompted the scavenger hunt for the Molten Magma Core.

Nobody would go out looking for the Molten Magma Core with no specific goal in mind. And as far as he knows, in 'The Bridge', there's only one purpose for the Molten Magma Core.

Moreover, there was also that strange event where a group of unknown people followed after Jude's party in order to find out about his secret related to the Guardian Turtle.

"You can call me Kardo,"

"Okay, Kardo," Kayn nodded his head. "What else do you know about Chief Dennis' bodyguards?"

Believing that being honest in answering Kayn and Gilbert's questions would make the latter spare their lives, Kardo decided to share every detail he could possibly recall about Chief Dennis' personal bodyguards. His men also chimed in from time to time, eager to prove their usefulness and avoid being deemed expendable by the duo.

"Enough of that," Kayn interjected, recognizing the repetitive and circular nature of Kardo and his men's information. He understood their cautious approach. "You're all free to leave now. No need to stay any longer," he finally declared.

Hearing that, Kardo and everyone can't help celebrating in delight to the point that some of them started hugging each other.

"Finally…" Kardo wipe the tears that appeared on the edge of his eyes.

"Go now, before we change our minds!" Gilbert prompted them to leave quickly.

Without wasting any time, Kardo and the rest of his men finally left.
