Killing king

The remaining team members were planning how they should kill the king. "The total area of the castle and the expected location of the king is the main concern. If we could solve it killing the king would not be problem."

After knowing that tears should not be used for killing this king Junan was thinking ways to drag the king in the bright day light.

"If we know the exact location of the trenches then it will be easier to blast that part of the palace. It will reduce the effort." Jake commented.

Blasting a part of the palace might take all pouches of rdx at once however it was not impossible. Junan thought about his suggestion and nodded.

"Once the trio return with the fourth tear we will be able to decide it accordingly. The palaces are always stronger structure, blasting it may cost us some injuries if we did not take precautions." Junan answered. It might have been easy to search the king in the trench then kill however it would cost a tear of Ashmorn.

The king was informed the runners broke the second last door and there will be battle any time soon under the last hall.

From here king could hear what was going on in the last hall however the runners halted their advancement for unknown reason.

They were currently at the second last door. The hall was empty and the security was at the next hall. The huge distance made them oblivious what was going on at the second door.

Jake was feeling alien who turned the normal and smooth tides of the quest.

He has strong belief that the bigger boss was preparing to confront them.

Soon trio came back. They handed the fourth tear to the team head. Junan secured it in the waist belt.

"We are at the ground floor of the palace. If we could open the windows from all sides then the light will be able to reach near these halls. Jake will create track for the light to enter in the trench with his weapon." Junan was moving in the hall and thinking feasible method.

Blasting the palace would bring trouble for them. The shortest time for running away from the palace would take ten to fifteen moments of sprinting. It was huge distance.

The impact could give damage potentially. Jake nodded. This was best plan to kill the king in less time. "Two of you should join with Jake Lin and rest of us will make two pairs and open the windows." Junan divided their jobs.

They were working according to their ease knowing that there were not much security men to stop them in the palace.

Jake went to check the closest window near the hall. Due to the pitch dark surrounding the initial steps would be tough. Sashi helped with her lit weapon.

The hall was void of any window or the security men closed them resembling to the structure of the palace wall.

Jake tapped on the wall to sense the difference. Ahram and Sashi did the same.

Ahram found some emptiness. He tapped his hand again. There was some possibility so he picked his shovel to smash against the wall. Sashi also picked her sharp tool to break the temporary seal on the window.

Jake was trying to calculate the distance and how he would blast the opening for the hall. Once the hall got lit he would try his best to lit the next hall.

His job was to create enough space for light to enter one after the other hall. Junan and others wanted to exploit if there were windows sealed at the others sides of the halls.

The security men waiting in the first hall got curious. They were in urgency to find out what was going outside because the king was getting angry at them.

He was preparing to trap runners in his magic skill yet they were nowhere. It was not that they changed their mind?

Orin and Clark found sealed window. It was at the opposite side of the hall. The king chose middle most ground for making trenches. He wanted to make sure that even enemy reached in the palace they would not be able to kill him.

Runners were different type of enemies. They were looking for the easiest way to kill him. He might have choked after knowing it.

Ahram kept smashing the shovel. The small part of the seal broke. Some light sneaked inside the dark hall.

Jake saw the direction of the light. The source should be bigger in order to spread in the big hall. Ahram understood that the whole window should open up for better light source. The big window seal was slowly breaking.

Jake got busy in searching another window. The frontal part needed light source so that he could threw some grenades in the opposite direction and destroy big wall.

According to his estimates this wall would lead the bright light in the first hall.

The distance from the first hall toward the trench was not much. One or two more attacks could do wonder however bigger source of light from the opposite side was necessary too.

There Clark was hammering on the window seal. The circular hall created boundary around the trench. This strategy might have worked if the runners decided to battle however they were willing to save the tear for better purpose.

If both sides could create the light source in the direction of the trench then the king would not be able to survive few moments under the bright light of the day.

Although it added to their work but it worth it, half of the broken seal let Jake get ready for the action. He picked grenade and threw toward the wall.

The distance was enough to save from the impact. Jake held his shield to cover. Ahram and Sashi were at much distance.. They would not get disturbance with single grenade attack.
