Chapter 21: The Humanoid Tank!
— Don't just stand there, we'll definitely kill Byakuya today!
A large group of pirates were running through the streets of the capital. Seeing this scene, the civilians screamed and ran away.
The pirates naturally set fire to everything in their path.
The fire was spreading outside the city, but now it's starting to spread inside as well.
Su Xiao advanced under the cover of night and soon passed the pirates and came to the palace.
The Kingdom of Goa was only a small country in the world of Van Pees, so the palace was a few-acre castle.
Hiding not far from the entrance, Su Xiao waited for the Krieg pirates.
The kingdom was divided into three districts: the outer one was a civil district, after it was the center, which was a noble district, and in the center of the city was a palace.
The palace grounds were enclosed by a wall, but it wasn't very high. The Krieg pirates will definitely be able to break through it.
The guards stationed near the palace began to come out to defend the palace. After only a few minutes, the screams began to be heard...
But Su Xiao was still waiting. He was well aware that some of the palace guards were indeed strong, but there were also weaklings among them. Those guards who never shed blood were not worthy opponents for pirates.
Just half an hour later, the palace guards were forced to retreat to the front of the palace.
The remaining guard forces were exhausted, and their losses were huge. Some of the guards even turned out to be real cowards and ran away from the battlefield.
— The palace is right in front of us, today we will destroy it!
Krieg had gone completely mad by now. Firstly, he had been tricked by Su Xiao, and secondly, his group had already lost a huge number of people while making their way to the palace.
— Kill, don't leave anyone alive! When Krieg gave that command, hundreds of pirates behind him shouted and rushed forward.
The fiercest period of the battle had begun. Shots rang out from time to time, blood splattered, and various limbs fell to the ground...
The king, who was resting, was awakened by sounds outside his chambers.
The king of the kingdom of Goa was a sixty-year-old man with black hair and beard, but because of the luxurious diet and excellent doctors, the king did not look old.
— What's going on, why is there so much noise outside? the king muttered and stood up impatiently. The queen beside him also woke up.
— Honey, didn't you just get shot? "the queen was very young.
— Hey, anyone.
The bedroom doors burst open and a large man with a strong-looking body burst into the room. There was a deep cut on the man's face, which crossed his entire face, giving him an unusually ferocious appearance.
— Howson, what's going on outside?
This brave man, whose name was Howson, was part of the King's personal guard.
But there was a metal collar around Howson's neck, a black-colored collar, and there were some strange chains attached to that collar.
If Su Xiao saw it, he would definitely recognize this collar. It was the "Exploding Collar" of Mir Van Pease.
This man named Howson was surprisingly a slave. His life and death depended on the king, so it wasn't surprising that the king made him part of his personal guard.
Howson didn't say anything, just made a few gestures.
He couldn't speak. His tongue was cut off by slavers. If he wasn't physically well developed, he might have been killed by slavers long ago.
— Pirates? How the pirates managed to get to the palace, tell the nobles to send people to deal with these pirates.
Although the king felt that something had gone wrong, he didn't care too much, for he had confidence in the palace guards.
Outside the palace, Su Xiao was still waiting for the right opportunity.
The battles in the palace were fierce, but they hadn't reached a climax yet.
After the battles had been going on for an hour or so, the king in the palace couldn't seem to calm down. He could clearly hear the screams getting closer and closer to him.
Only then did the King realize the gravity of the matter. With a bang the doors to his chambers burst open and a bloodied nobleman rushed in.
— Your Highness, things are bad, the pirates are coming to the third floor.
The King's face changed dramatically.
— Impossible, what is the king's guard doing? It was so carefully selected, yet it fell so quickly against the pirates?
The nobleman cringed and didn't dare say anything.
There were no "elite" guards in the palace for a long time — their place was taken by young guys who spent a lot of money to get a good position.
— Howson go and help them — " the king's face twisted. Even though Howson was really strong, if he left, his own safety would be called into question.
But if he didn't send Howson to help, the pirates would get to him and be able to kill him with a single stray bullet..
— Destroy the pirates as fast as you can, and then come back to me. Even if you get hurt. Understood?
— If I die, you will die too.
There was no confusion in Howson's eyes — he just nodded and left the room.
Su Xiao, who was waiting outside the palace, soon heard a loud noise. On the third floor, loud screams and explosions suddenly began to be heard.
— Su Xiao jumped up and started climbing the castle walls.
After quickly going up, Su Xiao stopped at the third floor.
The main battle was currently on the third floor, so the king couldn't be below the third floor.
When he reached the third floor, Su Xiao saw two people fighting — Krieg and another man.
But what Su Xiao didn't expect was that Krieg was actually in a very bad situation. One of his arms was hanging limply, and it was clear from his appearance that he wouldn't last much longer.
Against him was a truly strong man, in fact, it could safely be called a humanoid tank. Every time he attacked, he smashed a large chunk of the wall with his attack. If Su Xiao were to start fighting this monster, he would lose in less than two minutes.
Fortunately, he didn't immediately go to kill the king. This was undoubtedly the right decision. He would just die if he got involved in a fight against such a person.
According to his rough estimate, this man's strength was at least twenty points.
Krieg clearly wouldn't be able to come out of this fight victorious, so Su Xiao didn't have much time left. He needed to act as quickly as possible.
There were many rooms in the palace, and Su Xiao began to quickly look in the windows.
He couldn't find any traces of the king on the fourth floor, so he moved to the fifth, sixth floor...
Soon, Su Xiao finally found the king.
The King was not in a particular room, but in a corridor. It looked like he wanted to escape to a higher floor and hide somewhere there.
The loud sounds of battle kept making him flinch...
Under the white moonlight, the king quickly ran down the corridor...
— Your highness, hu~, I, I can't run anymore, let's take a break — " the queen who was running with the king sat down on the ground and began to breathe heavily.
The king's face changed several times. This woman still brought him some joy, and because of that, he didn't want to leave her, but compared to this woman, his own life was much more important.
— After saying that, the king was about to turn around and leave, but the window that was closest to him shattered with a bang, and a figure with a sharp sword in his hands entered.
