Times of War

Hearing Hutch's words, those of the Slayer Legion were stunned. At first, they were too oppressed by Hutch's aura to say much of anything. But, in the next moment, a few shot up, livid expressions on their faces. 

"You dare to rebel, Hutch?!" Catris roared, slamming his remaining hand onto the table beneath him. 

Catris hadn't dared to confront Hutch before, but now he was most definitely in the right. 

Wasn't the point of the Slayer Legion meant to be to fight against the oppressive rule of The Empire? The Ascension Empire hid beneath a guise of democracy, but when there would always be one, undeniable ruler, what kind of democracy was this? This world was simply a Monarchy with extra steps, there was nothing revolutionary about it.
