Mercenary - 61 Chapter 61- The leaders of the Surfacers
Guards stood at the entrance, and Dubs cloaked himself and his subordinates in a sheet of darkness particles to sneak past them.
“This spell didn’t conceal me from the eyes of the corporal, however these guards are mere footsoldiers that I coukd easily take out if necessary.”, Dubs thought.
The five snuck by as the cloak muffled their movements and they entered into a circular room.
Banners spanned the walls, and a lush red carpet lead to a stairway that had 3 seats on top of it.
A multitude of guards, around 20 in total, stood at the bottom of the stairway, and at the top 3 figures sat at each chair.
They appeared to be waiting for the Corporal who was now dead, and when Dubs and his party entered the room, five of the soldiers were alerted to their presence, and stood at arms.
“Who goes there!?”, one of the soldiers shouted.
The 3 leaders also seemed to notice the presence of Dubs, and they stared intently at the intruders.
“Ah! Looks like weve been caught red handed… tsk tsk..”, Dubs stated as he undid the cloaking spell.
Once the dark blanket had receded the rest of the soldiers stood on guard.
“How dare you enter the throne room so casually!”, one of the knights in the center exclaimed.
He wore a helmet that had a red feather atop it. One of the knights wore a hat with a yellow feather, and three of them wore hats with a green feather.
The rest did not have any garnishments on their helmets.
” Ive come here to give you all a warning…”, Dubs stated boldly.
“Why you little…”, the man with a red feather became frusturated and marched over to Dubs to deal with him.
The man in the center held up his hand.
“Hold yourself, First Squad Captain Johannes. I wish to listen to what this young man has to say. Please remove all guards from this room immidiately.”
The Captain begged to differ. “Your highness! I cannot allow you and the Lords to stay alone with a potentially dangerous man here! I beg that you reconsider!”
The old man gave the Captain a glare and the Captain reluctantly obeyed.
“Very well, your Highness.”
The guards exited the room, leaving only the 3 seated men and Dubs with Reagan and his 3 soldiers.
“You- I have some questions to ask.”, The man in the center stated.
“I have some questions to ask as well…”, Dubs interrupted.
“Is it true that you allow the discrimination I have seen to exist within your domain here? I also have seen a horrifying escaped experiment. What do you say in your defense, oh king of the surfacers?”
The man stayed calm, but the two others on his sides began to whisper things to him.
“Silence!”, the man stated.

“I do not deny the claims you have made against us. We of the surface are the masters of magic, the original mages. It is only right that we are held as the rulers of this world.”
“However what I am interested in is that dagger by your side… where did you get that from!?”
Dubs had his dagger confiscated when he was taken prisoner, however he retrieved it when he killed the corporal.
“If I am not mistaken, that is the dagger of Frederic Ruffield. Where did you obtain such an item?”
