66 Siege of the rebels (1/2)

Bordered between a sea to the North, a small mountain range to the South, a small ocean to the East and a large, frozen lake to the West, the kingdom of Cogo mainly lives off mining, wood production and fishing.

A beautiful sunrise began and a brand new day is beginning in the land of the faithful yet that will be the last sunrise they see with a smile.

Deep inside the Palace of Cogo, there stands the ruler of the Cogo Kingdom, Archbishop William, kneeling in front of him is a messenger who is shaking as he is holding the white scroll.

”What happened?” Archbishop said as he was facing the messenger with a stern look.

”We lost connection to the target planet and every member we sent…” the messenger tried to continue but a white light slowly covered him burning him to ashes and the scroll too.

”Fool, sending cursed items to my kingdom and expecting to curse me in turn? Men! Stay on full alert and call everyone who touched the scroll!” Archbishop William commanded as he walked towards a small room that was hidden behind his throne.

”Praise the light!” Archbishop knocked twice and as he was about to knock thrice his body twitched and slowly his eyes became lifeless. A deep hole was formed in the back of his head, before disappearing and the lifeless eyes becoming normal.

The Archbishop smiled and knocked the third time before the door opened leading to a round table with a few people inside covered in white robes, each having a pattern on their robes made out of gold.

”Welcome back, William” A female voice appeared from one of the white-robed people sitting on the round table.

”May the light be praised,” Archbishop said hitting his chest twice and walking towards one of the empty seats before pulling it back and taking a seat.

”Let the fifth meeting of the Allied Accord begin” A deep voice among them spoke and slowly they all began to discuss their future plans.

What they didn't know is that they are being watched right at this moment.

”What a calm day, can't wait to go back home and give my wife a kiss!” Guard A said with a smile while standing on top of the walls surrounding the kingdom.

”Tch, just finish your job and stop ruining my mood,” Single Guard B said with a frown.

”Well, we got nothing to do… why not talk about our beautiful life!” Guard A said with a smile as he motioned his hands to indicate how life is by waving it around.

”Just shu... ” Guard B said before going silent as he watched black shadows appearing out of the shadows rushing towards the walls of the kingdom.
