Chapter 40 - Ruins (2/2)

The sphere started to vibrate as if the words he spoke somehow got through.

--------

Ulik arrived back at the throne room to a disaster.

”My king the Asgardians are pushing our armies back and heading here.”

”My king a group of Asgardians have infiltrated our capital and stole a ship.”

”My king a group of traitors is leading an Asgardian here.”

”My king the traitors have been identified as Muthos, Tyborr, and U-Slyn.”

Ulik had an ugly expression as he asked the condition of his elites and where they were.

”My king there is no one stopping them now.”

The advisor shook in fear as they heard fighting coming from the hall, it also didn't help to be under the murderous glare of Ulik who was enraged to find the troll empire slowly falling apart from his short absence.

Ulik growled out in fury- ”Tell Me Who Killed Olik?!”

__________________________________

Before Ulik arrived back at the throne.

Theoric and the gang arrived at the capitol under cover of darkness which helped some in sneaking in undetected with troll guards being lazy and snoozing on the job or lack thereof in other areas.

Askella helped the most with her magic in keeping them hidden and away from roaming patrols.

The sneaking didn't last long though, with 19 Asgardians along with 4 trolls, their group was a bit too big for a covert operation.

Alarm howls soon went out after being spotted by a civilian who was up late, alerting the nearby guards.

Theoric took this chance to tell them to head to their version of hangers,- ”Head to the shipyards, that way we can get a ship to go directly to the throne room without hassle, I don't think they'll expect that.”

Askella gave him a questioning stare wondering if he was up to anything while Muthos thought it was a good idea,- ”Yes that sounds like a good idea, this way.” he said not wishing to fight innocent trolls.

Vott also gave Theoric a helpless sigh as he thought about his friend going to fight alone. Gripping his ax tightly promising he would at least take a few trolls down along the way.

Muthos seeing some patrols ahead that they couldn't get around, took a mental moment to prepare for being called a traitor while he fought against his kind in hopes of saving them.

Muthos hastily spoke- ”I know our species are enemies and that we will have to fight trolls that get in our way, but please be merciful when you can.” he pleaded to the Asgardians.

”Assgins ahead, and Traitors, Kill The Traitors!”

”Kill the Traitors!” they chanted.

Theoric saw how much it affected them, all but Askella who seemed indifferent to the whole situation.
