The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 90: Adolfo

Kayn and the others used the veil of the night to cover their tracks and presence as they made their way to the army of the Tenderfoot Village.

They were already informed of the hiding assassins in the woods around the army by Kayn and Gilbert, so they quickly eliminated any of them they met along the way.

If Kayn and Gilbert could eliminate a team of assassins easily, not to mention with Friedrich and the other members of the first squad added to their team.

Every assassin they killed, their bodies would instantly get stored inside a separate Storage Ring so that they won't have to worry about hiding their bodies and cleaning up the mess. Well, with so many of them dying, it would be very easy to get found out if they simply hide all the dead bodies using the greeneries around them as a cover. Unless of course if they kill all assassins.

However, although they've cleaned up most of the clues, they have still deliberately left some for the leader of the assassin unit, Lotte, to find in order for him to be able to track them down.

Lotte isn't really their first target. It is the leader of the guardian unit, Adolfo. But if Lotte comes to them first before they arrived at their initial target, then it would be very advantageous for them as they can eliminate one of the two powerful leaders of the Tenderfoot Village army.

The reason why their first target is Adolfo is that he still making his way to join the army. That's the exact reason why the army of the Tenderfoot Village still hasn't attacked the Green Horn Village.

"Adolfo is an alcoholic. That is why he was able to maintain his huge and fatty body. He always arrives late because he would get himself drunk before participating in a fight," Roshan explained to everyone. "It isn't without any reason though why he is an alcoholic,"

Friedrich interrupted, "According to the information we have gathered about Adolfo, his Gift is related to consuming alcohol. The more alcohol he intakes, the higher his endurance stats become. Although it would make him drunk as a consequence. But because of he always stays in taverns and bars almost every day, his alcohol tolerance has gone way beyond the limits. Hence, why he has become the leader of the guardian unit,"

"The reason why I labeled him so-so is that although his endurance stats are very high compared to almost everyone in 'The Bridge', the downside is he can't fight very well because of feeling tipsy and sometimes drunk from alcohol,"

"Based on our scout's report, Adolfo is being carried inside a carriage that is making its way to this place as fast as possible while currently being escorted by ten soldiers. They've probably long reached the halfway point, so we have to intercept him before he can reach their army," Friedrich ended his briefing.

"I hope that you won't feel scared once you finally see Adolfo," Roshan kindly warns.

"We won't get scared since you are very confident that you can handle him," Cedrick gave Roshan a thumbs up.

"Don't be mistaken. What I meant when I said I can handle him is that I can keep him preoccupied for you guys. As to whether we can defeat him or not, that would entirely depend on all of you," Roshan clarified his previous claim.

"I think that's our target carriage up ahead. But… Why are they carrying a boulder?" Kimberly motioned her hand which halted everyone from continuing to move any farther.

"That is Adolfo," Roshan felt distressed.

"Are you seriously telling me that Adolfo is that huge?!" Cedrick and Kimberly felt disbelief.

"That's right! His sheer size alone is almost like a small hill,"

"This can't be real, right?"

"If you consume alcohol for almost your entire life, eat, and sleep, focus most of your SP in improving your endurance, and do things that enlarge your body, achieving such a body size like Adolfo's isn't impossible," Kayn did the honor of enlightening everyone.

"I am assuming that what he is doing is the same as how inhabitants of the 'Tower' allocate their SP. For example, the Orc race prefers to put their SP into strength and endurance, and they train their bodies very seriously, that is why they are such a domineering race,"

"Cyclop race, Ogre race, Minotaur race, Bear race, Pig race, I'm mentioning just a few, also does the same as the Orc race, that is why their bodies look almost the same,"

"How did you know all of this?" Cedrick was amazed at Kayn's knowledge.

"I am still a student, at least before I entered 'The Bridge',"

"No wonder," Kimberly smiles charmingly at Kayn.

"Kayn's right," Roshan nodded his head. "Anyone can turn into anything with the help of the 'Tower' as long as you meet certain conditions,"

"Anyways, what do you suggest we should do to kill Adolfo?" Friedrich asked Roshan.

"Very simple. I keep him preoccupied, while the rest of you will try to bleed him to death,"

"Bleed him to death? That would cause a lot of mess in the surrounding. It would be impossible to clean up the blood he'd ooze out considering how huge his body is afterward," Cedrick expressed his concern.

"Is there no other way?" Friedrich also agrees with Cedrick.

"That's the only way that we have,"

"Can't we just cut go for his throat, or other vital spots, to kill him?" Gilbert suggested. "He is sleeping right now. If you give me the chance, I could probably assassinate him right now,"

"His body is almost entirely made out of fat. And unluckily for us, we don't possess any weapons with us that would be able to cut deep enough in his vital spots to kill him," Roshan shook his head.

"We can hit it repeatedly,"

"He might be fat, but he clearly isn't stupid. And if you are going to do something like that, might as well just make him bleed out to death as you would definitely have to attack another part of his body in order to distract him from protecting his vital spot,"

"You're right," Gilbert finally gave up the idea.

"It seems like that's our only way now," Friedrich stepped forward to have a better look at the slowly moving carriage. "The distance from where we are at right now and their army camp is only ten kilometers more. It isn't far away for no one to notice the commotion we are going to create, but it is also not that close that they will notice it instantly,"

"Roshan, you will be tasked with preventing Adolfo from leaving and keeping him preoccupied,"

"Kimberly, cast a sound insulation magic spell to prevent any noise from escaping this place,"

"Cedrick, support us from the rear,"

"I and Gilbert will be responsible for making Alfonso bleed out,"

Friedrich started giving out everyone a task to do.

"Move out!"

"Wait!" Kayn hastily called out to Friedrich.

"Is there any problem?" Friedrich stares at Kayn.

"Is there something that I can help with?"

"You?" Friedrich paused for a moment. "Sorry for leaving you behind. I am so used to only having to command five people, so I forgot,"

"Gilbert!"

"Yes, sir?"

"Would it be alright if Kayn follows you since it is your responsibility to keep him safe,"

"That's even better for us, sir,"

"I guess that means I don't have to worry about the two of you?"

"You can rest assured,"

"Alright!"

With that being said, Kayn followed behind Gilbert and Friedrich as they sneaked their way to the currently sleeping Adolfo.

As they got close to Adolfo, they started hearing the latter snoring very loudly as if he is not about to get to war soon.

"How carefree," Kayn can't help but mutter in remark.

"How should we begin?" Gilbert looks at Friedrich.

"Let's wait for Roshan's go signal," Friedrich instructed.

It didn't take long for Roshan to reveal himself to the people in the carriage.

The ten soldiers who were escorting Adolfo to the war instantly readied their weapons to face Roshan.

"Be careful, his comrades should be somewhere nearby,"

Because of the fact that Roshan is a guardian, it is very easy to assume that there are others with him hiding around.

"One of you, try to quickly wake up Adolfo!"

These people clearly aren't stupid enough to let Adolfo continue sleeping while they face this ambush.

It didn't take a second longer for someone to volunteer to wake up Adolfo.

However, before that soldier could even take a single step to approach Adolfo, he suddenly fell to the ground with a dagger to his head.

"Protect the Priest and Mages!"

Instantly, the two guardians on the escort team came in front to protect the Priest and Mages. At the same time, the knights spread out so that they won't be taken out at the same time by the ambush.

"Adolfo! Adolfo! Adolfo!"

The leader of the escort team hastily shouted as loud as possible in hopes of waking up Adolfo without the need to approach the latter.
