Hi Steemians!
This is my post for the NextColony contest from @art-universe. This is the continuation of the first part.
...
Fel said to the group: "Okay, if we have clarified that, we can now get to the next point of the day!
More importantly, I would like to discuss what we want to do with the mercenaries of Zorkor? Because they get restless and want to get more to do. Besides, they will be too many and too strong for my taste."
Askir embraced himself loudly: "Why always on my Zorkor, they live in my sector and so they belong to me".
Gnal only replied dryly: "You know very well that if we don't employ the mercenaries and do something against them again and again, then sooner or later they will be our end".
"I am aware of that, but we have already decimated them once and they know very well that we are one of the most powerful species in the galaxy. Besides, there aren't many anymore, only yesterday I had them counted and there were exactly 238 Zorkans," Askir said.
Buru said more to himself than to anyone, "Let them come."
Suddenly you hear a big riot followed by many steps and screams from outside.
Curiously, Gnal sat down a little more upright and waited patiently until the door opened, but the door did not open.
Askir moaned: "What's going on now?"
Meanwhile Buru got up and said, "I'll check it out, just sit there.
Suddenly strange noises could be heard.
Halfway to the door Buru stopped and turned to the other rulers. His face was marked by shock and asked: "Did you just hear that?
Fel looked very tense at Gnal and then at Askir. Gnal only looked completely silent at the door.
Suddenly the door jumped open with a loud bang and a guard positioned in front of the door came in screaming, "We're under attack!
Gnal asked calmly and snobbishly: "What fool dares to attack us?
Meanwhile the riot was getting louder and louder and you could hear blaster shots and screams.
The guard said, completely frightened, "The Zorkans."
Suddenly the four remaining rulers who were still sitting at the round table jumped up.
Exactly at the right moment, because now the first Zorkan sprinted into the room. The circular room filled up in a few seconds, suddenly the room was completely overfilled.
Buru, who was closest to the mercenaries, asked commandingly: "What is this march up for? What do you want?
The Zorkan leader, Reo, came out of the crowd. He was still young, but had a face full of scars, a particularly bright and large scar above his right eye.
He wore a kind of combat suit, which seemed to be like a second skin. Although the suit looked so thin, it seemed to be very resistant and pulsated slightly. What was immediately noticeable was that the suit had clearly already experienced better days, in some places there were holes and the right sleeve only hung on a single tendon of the suit.
Reo said loudly and calmly, "We are here to tell you that we are no longer your subordinates and we will no longer be treated this way. We have enough other clients who pay better and we don't need you anymore. We are the people of Zorkor and we will no longer be exploited.
As you can see, we are serious, we can settle this peacefully or we can settle it the hard way."
An approving murmur went through the crowd.
Mest, the ruler of the fourth sector, and Askir laughed out loud.
Fel whispered to Gnal: "How could we not have foreseen this?
Mest who calmed down a bit asked grinning: "You already know who you're messing with here, don't you? Well, I'd be for the hard way"
"Very well, as you wish. Attack", roared Reo.
Blast shots flew all over the place. But the rulers evaded with unnaturally fast steps. Each of the 5 rulers went into close combat and fought with several Zorkans.
Suddenly somebody shouted from somewhere: "We have one, we have one".
Reo, who could barely avoid a Gnal chin hoe, withdrew a little, quickly got an overview and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat, we have one!
As fast as the room was flooded at the beginning, it was also emptied and left behind 4 rulers of this galaxy and around them were countless Zorkans lying on the ground, probably killed.
Buru shouted shocked: "They have Askir! Quickly take up the pursuit!"
...... To be continued!
