66 Siege of the rebels

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.

"RING THE ALARM!" Guard B said as he rushed towards the captain room, "Captain! A large number of people are rushing towards the walls!" Guard B Said as he crashed inside the captain room.

"What?! Men! Prepare the bows and close the gates!" Captain of the Guards said as he began to rush towards the walls.

"They are our men!" Guard A screamed as he pointed at the white-robed people rushing towards the walls.

"What?" The Captain said as he looked at the white-robed men. As he was about to tell them to stop closing the gates he lost his head as a few white-robed people appeared on the wall, cutting the bodies of those that were handling the gates.

One of the white-robed men smiled and raised his hand, he said in a loud voice "We are rebelling against the Cogo church for the misconduct of their ways in handling non-believer! We believe that the church has been corrupted and will exterminate all that dares to go against us!"

Slowly the white-robed people started to get into formations and casting wide area attacks on the kingdom itself. Each wall contained a hundred rebels (White-robed people).

Slowly they all began to shout "We are the true believers of light if you wish to survive, side with us and let those corrupted folks die!"

Every time a spell was used by the priests/ rebels, the spell contained a tinge of redness within. Every enemy hit was slowly turned into a rebel, slowly the fire began to blow towards the inner-part of the kingdom.

Thousands of white-robed people within the inner part of the kingdom began to appear and cast shields on the inner part ignoring the outer part of the kingdom population.

The Palace began to fill with nobles and bishops, the archbishop sat on his throne as he was calm while several people around him had lifeless looks on their faces.

"Silence!" The Archbishop said as he looked everywhere in the room before stopping at one man wearing a mask. The masked man nodded before disappearing without anyone knowing except the Archbishop.

"Your Majesty, allow us to punish those evil-doers for going against the light!" A young noble said as he clenched his fist.

The Archbishop shook his head "We need to first find out what happened to lead to something like this" Waving his hand a shadow appeared next to the Archbishop before being handed a few golden scrolls.

"Send them to every kingdom on this planet, request backup and begin writing a report on the situation here before delivering it to the Nobles." The Archbishop said as he stood up.

"Everyone go back and prepare to fight back, I will cast a large barrier to surround us for now, tell the priests and bishops to stop whatever they are doing" The Archbishop said with a sight before walking outside the Palace leaving his subjects kneeling behind.

"What a great man, I wish I was like…" A noble said as he looked towards the throne.

"Hehe…" A dark laugh appeared in a distant place.
