Chapter 21: Human Tank

"Little ones, charge with me."

"Kill! Tear Bai Ye into ten thousand pieces!"

A large group of pirates ran on the streets of the royal capital. After seeing this scene, the civilians in the royal capital screamed and ran away one after another.

As the pirates rushed toward the royal palace, all the ruthless pirates began to set fires along the way.

Outside the city, firelight shot into the sky, and soon there was thick smoke billowing inside the city.

Su Xiao traveled through the night, soon surpassing those pirates, and arrived in front of the royal palace ahead of time.

The Goa Kingdom could only be considered a small country in the Pirate World, so the royal palace was just a castle that didn't occupy much area.

Hiding near the kingdom, Su Xiao began to wait for the Krieg Pirates.

The royal capital was divided into three areas: the outermost layer was the civilian district, then the central street, and only the center was the royal palace.

Outside the royal palace area, there was a city wall, but the city wall wasn't very high. The Krieg Pirates would soon be able to break through the city wall and kill their way into the royal palace area.

The Guard Team within the royal palace area had long since poured out in full strength. Not long after, the sounds of fighting came.

Su Xiao was still waiting. According to his understanding, the Guard Team in the royal palace area was completely strong on the outside but weak on the inside; those guards who hadn't seen much blood were simply no match for those pirates.

The facts were indeed so. After only half an hour, the guards in the royal palace area were beaten back and retreated to the front of the royal palace.

These guards were extremely disheveled, their expressions hurried, and they had suffered heavy casualties. Some of the less capable ones even ran away on the spot.

"Little ones, the royal palace is right in front of us. Let's loot it."

Krieg had already killed until his eyes were red. First, he was deceived by Su Xiao, and then he had killed his way here, making this pirate completely crazy.

"Kill! Leave no one alive."

At Krieg's command, the hundreds of pirates behind him rushed toward the royal palace, shouting and fighting with those guards.

The most tragic white-blade battle began, and the sound of gunfire like popping beans also came from time to time. Fresh blood splashed, and severed limbs fell to the ground one after another.

Inside the royal palace, the King, who had already been resting, was awakened by the sounds outside the castle.

The King of the Goa Kingdom was a man nearing sixty, with a full head of black hair and a big beard.

Because of his luxurious diet and the top-tier doctors in the royal palace, this King didn't look old.

"What's going on outside? Why is it suddenly so noisy?"

King Philip Herbert got up somewhat impatiently, and the Wang Fei beside him also sat up blankly.

"Your Highness, it sounds like gunfire outside. What happened?"

The Wang Fei was very young and timidly nestled in the King's arms.

"Someone come."

The bedroom door was pushed open, and a burly man rushed in. On the burly man's face, there was an extremely deep scar. The scar crossed his entire face, making the burly man look exceptionally ferocious.

"Hauzen, what's going on outside?"

This burly man, known as Hauzen, was the King's personal guard.

But on Hauzen's neck, there was a metal collar. The collar was iron-black, and there were some precision mechanisms at the connection point.

If Su Xiao were present, he would definitely recognize this collar; this was a slave collar from the Pirate World.

This burly man named Hauzen was actually a slave, his life and death in the King's hands. No wonder the King would let him become his personal guard.

Hauzen didn't speak, just made a few gestures.

Hauzen no longer had the ability to speak; his tongue had been cut off by a slave trader. If he hadn't been exceptionally strong, he might have already been killed by the slave trader.

"Pirates? How could there be pirates in the royal palace? Right Minister, go send people to solve this pirate crew."

Although the King felt that things weren't quite right, he didn't pay much attention to it. It seemed he was very confident in the security forces within the royal palace.

Hauzen stood blankly in the room. The slave collar on his neck bound his freedom; this collar could be detonated, and he would die then.

Outside the royal palace, Su Xiao was waiting for the opportunity.

Now was not the time. Although the fighting within the royal palace was intense, it hadn't reached its peak.

As the melee continued for about an hour, the King in the royal palace finally couldn't remain calm. The King clearly felt that the sounds of fighting were getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the King finally realized the severity of the matter.

With a bang, the door was knocked open, and the blood-covered Right Minister rushed into the bedroom.

"Your Highness, it's a disaster. That pirate crew has fought their way up; they have already rushed to the third floor."

The King's face changed drastically.

"Impossible! What about my guards? Those guards were all carefully selected. Were they beaten back just like that?"

The Right Minister knelt on the ground, curled up, and didn't dare to answer.

The people in the royal palace were not elite guards at all, just some young people who had been paid a high price.

"Hauzen, you go—wait~."

The King's face was full of conflict. Hauzen was indeed powerful, but if he sent Hauzen out, his own safety would not be guaranteed.

But if he didn't send Hauzen out, that pirate crew would soon kill their way to him, and bullets had no eyes.

"Use the fastest speed to solve that pirate crew, then come back immediately. Even if you are injured, it doesn't matter. Do you understand?

If I die, you will be buried with me."

Hauzen's eyes were devoid of ripples, just nodding blankly, then leaving the room.

Su Xiao, who was waiting outside the royal palace, soon heard a loud noise from within the royal palace. On the third floor, a large area of purple toxic gas began to spread.

"Finally waited for this moment."

Su Xiao leaped up, his whole body clinging to the outer wall of the castle like a gecko.

Climbing upward flexibly, Su Xiao directly bypassed the third floor.

The fighting was on the third floor, so the King couldn't be below the third floor.

After arriving at the third floor, Su Xiao saw two people fighting through a window: Krieg and a burly man.

But what Su Xiao didn't expect was that Krieg was actually being beaten very miserably, one arm hanging limply. It seemed he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

That burly man was completely a human tank; every charge would shatter a large area of the wall. If Su Xiao fought with such a monster, he would be defeated in less than two minutes.

He didn't assassinate the King directly; this was undoubtedly correct. Fighting such an enemy was completely looking for death.

This burly man, conservatively estimated, had a strength attribute exceeding 20 points.

Krieg couldn't hold on much longer, so there wasn't much time left. Su Xiao had to act as soon as possible.

There were many rooms in the royal palace, and Su Xiao checked through the windows rapidly.

No trace of the King was found on the fourth floor, then the fifth floor, the sixth floor...

After a rapid search, Su Xiao finally found the King through a window.

The other party wasn't in any room, but was running in a corridor. It seemed he wanted to escape to a higher place to reduce the chance of being discovered by the pirates.

The vibrations coming from below the castle made the King lose his composure.

Pure white moonlight shone through the window, and the King ran rapidly in that corridor.

"Your Highness, huff~, I, I can't run anymore. Let's rest for a while."

The Wang Fei, who was following the King, sat on the ground, panting.

The King's expression changed repeatedly. He still had some freshness for this woman, so he didn't want to abandon her, but compared to life, a woman didn't count for much in his heart.

"Then my beloved concubine, rest here."

After saying this, the King prepared to turn and leave, leaving the Wang Fei sitting foolishly on the ground.

Just at this moment, the glass window beside the corridor shattered with a crash, and a figure holding a sharp blade broke through the window and entered. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
