章 297: Descending Deep

The plan to carry out the raid was put into action immediately. It turned out that Serac was telling the truth when he said Rimu tended to make decisions based on impulse. She had gathered the forces of the noble houses ahead of time and had them waiting on standby before the meeting had begun. Evidently, the entire operation was not decided on a council vote but on Rimu's sole decision to do so.

While Rimu may have held the highest-ranking seat on the council, gathering the individual forces of the other seated members was overstepping her position. None could argue against it, however, as everyone was in agreement that taking this opportunity to launch a surprise attack would be entirely foolish.

It was because of this that Rune now found himself moving through the open ocean much sooner than expected. His line of sight bobbed with each wave, and he turned to Luna after looking down at his shaky legs.
