    Chapter 200:  The War that Decides the Fate of ''The  Bridge'' Part 3


    The next day, the n that Old Mayor George talked about yesterday was immediately being executed by everyone.


    Hundreds of people were being sent out of the Evergreen Vige to do various different tasks in preparation for the war. They were either going out alone or in groups.


    As for the leaders, they weren''t spared from the same task as they also left the Evergreen Vige to manage their own share of responsibility. Though, unlike the majority of people, their job was to make sure that everything isplete and supervise everyone.


    Unlike them, Kayn and the others stayed in the Evergreen Vige along with Old Mayor George and everyone from the Green Horn Knights.


    "I am sorry about yesterday. I definitely gave off a bad impression at our first meeting," Emmet put his hand forward.


    "It doesn''t matter, everyone would react like that in your situation," Kayn epted Emmet''s handshake politely. Though it doesn''t mean they are good. He simply doesn''t want any unnecessary trouble.


    "The same goes for me," Fabian also wants to make peace with Kayn, especially after hearing that he is the son-inw of the Mayor of Moon Dragon City. It would definitely serve a lot of use in the future if he has connections with thetter.


    Kayn epted the apology of both Emmet and Fabian before sitting on his chair.


    Unlike everyone else, the missions of the members of the Green Horn Knights arepletely different and are crucial for turning the tides of the battle. That is why every one of them is gathered here together in front of Old Mayor George.


    Other than the members of the Green Horn Knights, Kayn, Jude, Charles, and also Jericho and Jadiel is also present in the room since they are no different from the members of the Green Horn Knights as of now.


    "There''s a total of six Viges around the Slumbering Forest," Old Mayor George pointed to their location on the map. "Luckily for us, we only have to worry about five because Jericho''s Herald Guild already took care of the matters in the Drowsy Vige,"


    "Just doing my job as Kayn''s ally," Jericho nodded his head.


    "Your mission is to pick from the five Vige and then destroy anything that''s rted to the Assembly of Freedom over there during the war. It doesn''t matter what method you use, as long as it doesn''t involve killing innocent lives or needlessly killing people, I permit it,"


    "Does it include destroying the Vige?" Gilbert can''t help asking.


    "As long as every innocent life has been evacuated, I say, why not?"


    "Alright,"


    The best way to destroy the secrets of the Assembly of Freedom hidden in those five Viges is to simply destroy the Vige. In that way, they don''t have to waste time searching, and they just made sure that they didn''t leave anything unsearched.


    "There''s still a few days left before our side will officially announce a war with the Assembly of Freedom. In those remaining days, you can do whatever you want to achieve the operation search and destroy,"


    Pushing the map forward, Old Mayor George immediately added, "You can pick whichever Vige you want,"


    Kayn, Friedrich, Chastine, Emmet, and Fabian quickly started picking a Vige for their group.


    On the other hand, Gilbert silently approached Old Mayor George to tell him his own concern. No one knows what they were talking about other than the two of them as everyone was busy picking.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    In the end, Kayn''s group picked the Dazed Vige as they were somewhat familiar with the territory already. Friedrich''s group picked the Dream Vige, Chastine''s group for the Slumber Vige, Emmet''s group choose the Dormant Vige, and Fabian''s group was left with no other Vige other than the Hush Vige.


    "Since all of you already picked a territory, you can proceed any time you want," Old Mayor George returned to his table as he still has documents he needed to take care of.


    "By the way, Gilbert," Old Mayor George suddenly called out. "I ept your letter of resignation,"


    "Resign?" Friedrich looks at Gilbert in confusion.


    "I am sorry Friedrich, I want to join Kayn''s party starting from now on," Gilbert felt apologetic at Friedrich.


    "Why didn''t you tell us?"


    "I didn''t feel the need to since it was already obvious," Considering he alwayses wherever Kayn''s group goes.


    "Well, I guess you''re right," Friedrich long already expected that such a day wille as he was always observing Gilbert''s actions. He knew thetter was eventually going to join Kayn''s group, just that he didn''t expect it to be today and in this kind of manner.


    "I am sorry about doing this in the middle of such an important mission,"


    "It''s okay," Friedrich could only sigh. It wasn''t okay, but they can handle it.


    "Actually," Old Mayor George gave Friedrich a piece of paper. "I have someone in mind that you might be interested in recing Gilbert''s spot,"


    "I''ll consider it after the war," Despite saying that, Friedrich still epted the document.


    Once that small scene ended, everyone immediately prepared themselves to leave the Evergreen Vige.


    However, as the operation was meant to remain a secret from the masses, known only to the participants and Old Mayor George, they utilized the hidden staircase located beneath Kayn, Friedrich, and Chastine''s hut to descend into the depths of the Evergreen Vige. From there, they proceeded towards the entrance of the underwater cave system, aiming to discreetly exit the vige.


    Gnrk assisted them while making sure that no one else can enter the entrance until everyone leaves the Evergreen Vige.


    Those that weren''t present in the construction of the door were shocked to discover that it exist. Albeit it was only for a brief moment as all of them prepared themselves to dive inside.


    Kayn naturally warned them of the dangers as he lead them to the hole they are going to exit from.


    Fortunately, the Kraken lurking around the underwater cave system didn''t bother them this time around, so they were able to safely traverse to their destination.


    After getting out of the underwater cave system, they quickly made their way to the Drowsy Vige first as Jericho intends to help everyone covertly sneak their way inside their assigned Vige. In this way, they won''t have trouble thinking of how to do it and will also have a ce to stay as they execute their mission.


    Everyone was grateful for Jericho''s assistance as they went their separate ways along with the guidance, support, and escort of members from the Herald Guild.
