Chapter 1226.2: Under the Throne
The first thing Su Xiao would do after descending under the throne was to make the best cannon fodder out of Goss. If he could survive this trip, it would only mean one thing — something had gone wrong with Su Xiao's plan.
He needed cannon fodder, not a guardian knight who could only make things worse at any moment. He clearly thought too highly of himself since he was protecting the princess, but did he ever think that he was only protecting someone's future wife?
The group was assembled, but it was worth admitting that the members of the group were a bit peculiar.
Su Xiao reeked of blood, Bubtni liked to make a fool of himself and pretend to be stupid, Amu, who was always hungry and constantly looking for food, an arrogant Holy Warrior, and a princess ... the princess was the group's mascot. Her role was to open the passage and maintain her beauty.
About forty minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the palace. The palace was guarded by a large number of royal guards, and they were all very vigilant right now.
When they saw Su Xiao, they tensed up.
— Mr. Iron Hand, why did you come to the palace? The new commander of the Royal Guards asked in a rather polite tone.
— I need to go to the boardroom.
— I'll show you the way, " the commander immediately replied, as he had received an order from the third prince a long time ago. Now, Su Xiao could no longer freely enter and leave the palace, but now, since he had an agreement with the third prince, he could enter the meeting hall.
If the third prince interfered with him, it would be equivalent to burning all the bridges with Su Xiao.
Su Xiao and his group entered the meeting room unhindered. Goss, who was at the head of the group, felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more strange.
As soon as Su Xiao and his group entered the meeting hall, the third prince and his men followed behind.
He clearly wanted to know what was under the throne.
— Iron hand, don't mind me. I'm only here to help out if anything happens, " the third prince said and smiled. Since he was now in power, he needed to learn how to restrain the Iron Hand and hone his ruthlessness, and on top of that, he now needed to win the hearts of as many people as possible.
Su Xiao walked over to the metal throne. The king left only one suggestion for entering the throne — some mechanism was responsible for this.
Standing in front of the throne, he stripped off his outer clothing and tossed it to Bubtni, then placed his hands on the throne.
Taking a deep breath, he used all his strength in his hands and began to move the throne.
With a loud crack, the floor under the throne shattered, and the floor under Su Xiao's feet cracked.
*Crackle!.. Crackle!..*
Su Xiao's strength was 89 points, if you take into account the increase from his belongings. It had truly terrifying power. At this moment, the veins on his arms bulged, and the floor within a dozen meters radius was bursting at the seams.
*Boom!*
The entire hall suddenly shuddered. The third prince's eyes twitched. Earlier, he had ordered the Royal Guards to move the throne, but all their attempts were useless.
This throne seemed to have been driven into the floor, making it impossible to move it.
Dust began to fall from the ceiling, but Su Xiao only pushed the throne even harder, eventually pressing his entire body against it. He wasn't going to look for the right mechanism and activate it, as this mechanism might very well activate some hidden traps as well.
*Crackle!.. Crackle!..*
The throne began to tilt, and a loud screeching sound began to reverberate throughout the hall.
When the throne tilted about 30 degrees, Su Xiao stopped.
— Iron hand, although I don't care about the throne, the passage can't be opened by brute force. The third prince immediately waved his hand, signaling the surrounding guards to retreat.
Before they could react, Bubtni and Amu had already retreated.
Su Xiao drew Dragon Flash from its scabbard. He raised the throne only to determine its structure. Although its top was shaped like a chair, it was basically like an iron pillar, more than 90% of which was hidden underground.
Gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands, he thought for a moment and slashed with his sword.
*A clang*
A flash appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Immediately after swinging Su Xiao's sword returned to its scabbard and he kicked straight at the throne.
With a loud bang, the throne flew to the side, revealing a view of the dark hole. The hole was three meters wide and looked like a descent into a vertical shaft.
The walls of the hole were made entirely of metal.
It was pitch dark below, but the wind howled from below. Su Xiao threw a small rock into the hole, and more than ten seconds later, he heard an indistinct crunch.
— Let's jump, " Su Xiao said and jumped into the hole. Bubtney immediately jumped in after him. Amu scooped up Eliza Herbert in his arms and jumped down as Eliza screamed.
Goss was standing in front of the hole. He felt that it was dangerous down there, which made him wince. He couldn't understand why Su Xiao and the others were able to jump into such a dangerous place without even changing their faces.
Elise Herbert had already jumped down with Amu's help, but he hesitated.
He didn't know that this level of danger was quite common for Su Xiao. As for Bubtni and Amu, not to mention the dark hole, even if there was a crater in front of them and Su Xiao jumped right into it, they would immediately follow him.
Goss gritted his teeth and jumped into the hole.
