Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 271

Mercia Dark Egg Legion is a chapter of the Eggman Empire's Dark Egg Legion based in the Kingdom of Mercia. It is ruled over by Grandmaster Mordred Hood from Snottingham Castle.

History
The Mercia Legion, along with the other Legion chapters, received word that Dr. Eggman had supposedly perished. However, this report was identified as a false message by Eggman himself, who teleported Lord Hood and his fellow Grandmasters to the Death Egg Mark 2 to give them continuing orders. As a result, the Mercia Legion was retasked with expanding the empire's boundaries and searching for the blue Chaos Emerald Eggman had lost possession of. (SU: #37)
