Chapter 229: The War that Decides the Fate of ''The Bridge'' Part 32
The next day, Kayn went to tour around the base of the Green Horn City and soon notices that the entire ce is slowly bing no different from the city of the Assembly of Freedom.
Though the progress of their development is still far from the industrial revolution era of the Assembly of Freedom, they don''t lose when ites to manpower and the speed of their progress. In fact, because everyone was so organized and there were no fights and arguments at all, they progress even faster.
The task was also being handled by multiple talented individuals, thus there are a lot of different chores being done all at the same time.
Although for the progress in the warfare department, they are on par with the Assembly of Freedom, at least as far as he had seen.
Regardless, the atmosphere around the ce was no different from what he felt when he visited the city of the Assembly of Freedom.
The aura around everyone was tense and they are very restless. It even came to a point where they get annoyed when they don''t have anything to do and would instantly argue with the person in charge to give them a task.
As much as the people in charge wanted to give all of these eager and dedicated people a task for them to do, they can''t because in truth there was barely anything else to do left. The remaining task is also at max capacity.
In the end, Kayn could only go there and help by sending them to the Drowsy Vige, specifically the Herald Guild, to help fortify the second territory of the Green Horn City in the Slumbering Forest and eliminate the hiding members of the Assembly of Freedom in the territory.
He believes that Jericho would be able to make use of all the people he sent to the most of their capability and increase the progress of his side.
Every time he finishes with that, he goes back to his tour.
Other than the busy and restless people, there were also a lot of other wonderful people he met. In particr, he conversed with the merchants who are selling different types of weapons and equipment on the street.
They expressed that since they don''t want the Assembly of Freedom to win the war, they cut the prices of the items they are selling in half in hopes of helping while at the same time not losing their capital and could still get by in their daily business operations.
As a result of that act of kindness, a whole lot of other people who are into gathering resources also sold their items to these vendors for a low price so that they''ll both end up helping Green Horn City win the war.
Some people even went as far as donating the resources they''ve gathered from the Slumbering Forest, with a few going to the extent of visiting the other Viges to secretly purchase resources and materials to transport to the Green Horn City. Albeit not all of them were sessful, especially now that the Green Horn Knights who used to protect them during their covert operation are no longer stationed in those Viges.
Nevertheless, their action was fruitful as it significantly increased the progress of the preparation for war.
Andst but certainly not least, Kayn went to gather information on the important personnel that the higher-ups of the Green Horn City had assigned to manage the different tasks with the intent of knowing who he could trust and who are suspicious.
He wasn''t nning on doing something like this today if he didn''t remember that tonight Old Mayor George would gather his team for a special assignment. <novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>
Needless to say, he already informed his team to secretly gather in his hut tonight as they would use the secret passage to go to Old Mayor George''s hut, which Gnak had also installed a secret passage connecting to his Vige.
Speaking about Gnak''s Evergreen Vige, because of the fast progress on the surface, their vige also benefited a ton from it. As a matter of fact, they have a lot of surplus supply in their warehouses.
Naturally, they didn''t abuse their advantage and felt contented when they finally had enough for everything they nned on doing for this year.
When night finally came, Kayn didn''t wait for long as Gilbert, Jude, Charles, Jericho, and Jadiel arrived in his tent one after the other.
Before meeting with Old Mayor George, Kayn made sure to brief everyone for tonight''s meeting.
On the other hand, everyone also shared their findings during the day of touring around the Green Horn City''s base just like Kayn.
Contrary to everyone, Jericho informed them of bad news.
Just this afternoon, the Drowsy Vige was attacked by men from the Assembly of Freedom. Their main target was the mansion of the Herald Guild and the people who holds important positions in their organization.
Fortunately, because of the manpower that Kayn had sent to the Drowsy Vige, the attack didn''t bring a lot of losses for the Herald Guild. They still had to suffer some damages and casualties, but they weren''t important enough that it could greatly affect Jericho''s side.
This attack was clearly a message sent by the Assembly of Freedom that implies they now knew the Herald Guild was never an ally of their organization from the start.
"Took them long enough to discover the truth," Kayn mocked the Assembly of Freedom. Because of theck of order and proper cooperation within their organization, it isn''t surprising to see their operation being done so badly. So bad that it was only after they alreadypleted their assignment that their target learned of the real allegiance of the Herald Guild.
"Tell me if you need more people because there''s a lot here that are eager enough to go to war before it even begins," Kayn chuckled.
"I understand that everyone can no longer wait for the war to begin, but we still have to prepare more if we want to eliminate the Assembly of Freedom from the face of the world," Jericho believes that they are stillcking enough preparation.
"Time is ticking, we don''t have forever to prepare for this war. Besides, we can only trust what Old Mayor George prepared for the Assembly of Freedom,"
"Hopefully it would lead us to victory,"
"Trust me, it would," Kayn was certain of that since the Assembly of Freedom no longer existed when the people from ''The Bridge'' returned back to Earth in the second life. Not to mention, he is involved this time around. Even if the future change, it will only change for the best.
"Anyways, let''s go meet with Old Mayor George,"
