Chereads / the lost city of mermaids / Chapter 6 - The counterattack

Chapter 6 - The counterattack

A big crowd of merpeople were standing there, armed and in the front was standing Jessica. Without thinking I ran and hugged her as tight as possible because I knew why she came. She explained to me how did they get here. It turned out that all these are people that hate the king. I would personally understand them because I hate him too. So they made a deal with the person that makes the weapons for the king's army to make some for them. I told my family that I was gonna go on a trip to find a safe place where no tsunami could reach the so we would be safe again. So I went back in the depths of the sea with the others and a lot of weapons from the smallest knife to the biggest tank. At the gate were nothing but 5 to 10 guards so it was easy to enter. Of course, our objective is not to kill because we don't support violence but we do want to take the throne from the king and put him in jail where powers can't work anymore so he can't attack the innocent lives of others. These guards that were standing at the gates ran in fear when they saw all the population of mermaids attacking the palace( because at the time all the mermaids hated the king except the royal families and rich ones). These guards went all the way up to the tower to announce the threat to the king. He told him about the tanks that were out there and how every mermaid was equipped with several kinds of missiles. The King got furious and went out to see us for himself. The King then rushed to the palace to call all guards to fight. My army was way bigger and more qualified for a fight at this moment so it was no use if trying to defend themselves because we would win. While the others were in the war some of us went to seek the king and put him right where he belongs. The castle was big enough to get lost in it and who knows if there was a secret passage hidden somewhere so the king could lie low in. But eventually, we got organised in all the castle. Some on the first floor, others on the second and so on. However, there was some of us searching the dungeon. Not a minute passes before I hear someone calling from upstairs to come. That is when we found the king hiding in the cell. With hesitating, we closed the gate on him. He was finally trapped and I was finally able to live safely with my family. Weeks passed by and everything was all good until one day I started feeling bad for he is still my father so I decided to go visit him to talk a bit. After my visit, we discussed it a bit and finally, he was released and I promised to visit him every week.
