Chapter 172 - Plans for the Future (4) (1/2)

The two Avian present were from the Icarus Federation, a Avian government made of Avians that reject the words of Kluex, the God of the Holy Kluex Church.

They abandoned the planets ruled by the Stargazers, Holy Kluex Church's High Priests, and created their own democratic government, the Icarus Federation. The Holy Kluex Church condemned their actions and call these people 'Grounded' as they don't wish to fly up to Aether, their heaven and Kluex's home, after they die.

The Icarus Federation and Holy Kluex Church are constantly fighting each other. The Church prefer to capture the Grounded and use them in sacrifice rituals to satisfy their God, Kluex.

Because of this, the enmity between both sides only grew, day after day.

But as their technology is lacking, the Federation almost lose their fights against the Church. In the face of such situation, they asked for help from Husk, the Nova Rebellion, and Morgan, the ISU (Independent Scientific Union).

One thing led to the other, and these representatives of the Federation found themselves back at the negotiation table with Husk...

As for the last people, the Glitch in the side, they came from the planetary monarchy known as Camelot Kingdom.

The ones in the table were none other than the king, Arthur Pendragon, and his trusty knights of the Roundtable Council, Lancelot and Gawain.

Arthur Pendragon was the dark blue Glitch with some silver stripes in along his waist, arms and neck. On top of his head, there was a simple, but eye-catching golden crown with some precious gems decorating it. There was a majestic royal robe above his robotic, and metallic, body.

In the scabbard on his waist, the masterpiece created by the mysterious blacksmith Hephaestus, Excalibur, the legendary sword that granted ridiculous amount of power to those that are accepted by the sword itself.

On Arthur's right side there it was Lancelot, the Glitch with a body completely white hidden behind a a Tier 6 armor made of Solarium.

Lancelot's calm and robotic red eyes scanned the people in the table while his hand rested on the black sword on his waist, another weapon created by Hephaestus, the Arondight.

At Arthur's left side, it was gray Glitch with his body beneath a red Tier 6 armor that looked almost the same as Lancelot's, but it was clearly more damaged and older.

The name of this Glitch was Gawain and he was the welder of another sword made by Hephaestus's hands, as all members of the Roundtable Council wield a weapon created by the legendary blacksmith. The name of the blue sword in his waist was Galatine.

As for why there were 3 Glitch in such place, is very simple, Arthur is not a legitimate king.

At least not legitimate in the eyes of the Privy Council, the oveseers of all Glitch kingdoms.

All Glitch kingdoms obey orders coming from the council, and in exchange they receive support, resources and legitimacy to better control their citizens.

Arthur fought in all kinds of wars for his father in a far away kingdom, but his father was ultimately assassinated and the kingdom fell on the hands of Arthur's uncle.

Arthur and his knights were famous for being invincible, and as such the Privy Council rewarded the 7 knights and Arthur with weapons created by Hephaestus.
