Chapter 123: Infiltrate: First border
In Darkan, the underground organizations convened another clandestine meeting, and since their eight months of alliance, this was the first sensible plan they had come up with.
The hall for their gathering was the same as the last; however, not all seats were filled. In place of Dawnless and Mistars’ leaders, the Third Executive and another Mistars executive sat. The two organizations had gotten closer, even if it was just purely business.
Maroon, the alliance leader, stood, his cloak shimmering with subtle wards. "After much deliberation, we’ve decided... to hijack the vessel granted to Darkan by the emperor."
Everyone sucked their breath at those words.
"Finally, something worthwhile!" Doombringer bellowed, slamming a fist on the table.
Maroon’s lips curled into a wry smile. "From the recent actions of the dragons, they don’t seem all that interested in their lands anymore."
Murmurs rippled through the hall, heads nodding.
It was true. Darkan had been acting strange ever since their last war, like its vigor from before had faded.
"Anyways, that changes nothing," Maroon continued. "We’ll seize the vessel and lie low in the meantime. We also received important information that the activity on the last front has been hectic lately. There might be another call for their help, which would involve them taking the vessel. We must act before they deploy it."
"Agreed, but how?" Doombringer leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Good question. For this task, we would need the organization best at hiding sneaking." Maroon’s gaze swept the room, landing on the Mistars’ representatives. "We need the best at stealth to infiltrate. Mistars, will you do us this favor?"
