Chapter 41: Ho-hahahaha!
"Ma, Marika-sama!"
A guard on the city wall quickly came down, trembling, "You, what are you doing?"
"Oh... Uya, it's been a long time. Is your child doing well?" Marika greeted him with a gentle smile.
"Yes! Thanks to you, he's doing well..." The guard answered subconsciously, but then quickly realized something was wrong. "No, Marika-sama, you..."
"Ah... This pirate captain wants to come here to rob. I'm here to guide the way."
Marika still had a gentle smile. "If it goes smoothly, I will join them and become a pirate."
"Become a pirate... That's great, Marika-sama. You've finally made up your mind, no, wait!"
The guard was relieved at first, but then his eyes widened. "Pi, pirates? Robbery? This is the royal city!"
"Yes, are you going to stop us? Uya, and Kaha." Marika asked with a smile.
The two guards were stunned. One of them blinked, thought for a moment, and looked at the sky, where the storm was gathering and it had begun to rain. "I suddenly remembered that my house hasn't been repaired yet. I'm going to repair the house."
"Me too, my child hasn't eaten yet. I have to feed him. It's not easy being a single parent."
The two guards answered one after another, put down their spears, and quickly left.
As for the bombing of the city gate, which attracted the attention of others on this street...
No one cared.
Those who rushed over to watch the excitement, upon seeing Marika, lined up on both sides, watching Sag and the others advance.
As for Marika, she smiled and greeted them one by one.
She knew everyone in the royal city.
As for the civilians, they also responded to the greetings. As for stopping them... no one stopped them.
No matter what these people wanted to do, as long as Marika was there, they wouldn't stop them.
If anything, they were even happier to see Marika like this.
As for the people rushing from behind, they found their long-lost families and cried with joy.
The people driven to Shallow Sand Kingdom weren't even allowed to be visited by their families. Once they set foot on the 'territory' of Shallow Sand Kingdom, they were considered to have automatically given up their status in the Deep Forest Kingdom, their property was confiscated, and then they were arrested, waiting to be sent to Bridge-Top Kingdom.
"You're really well-regarded..."
Lily looked at Marika and said, "With such a reputation, haven't you thought about leading people to resist? Is there a strong person in this kingdom?"
"Strong person..."
Marika pondered for a while and shook her head. "If you're talking about Siji, you've already killed him. The kingdom doesn't have anyone as powerful as you. As for resistance... it's useless. We are not nobles, nor do we have royal blood."
"Is that so..." Lily nodded, her expression complicated.
The situation was completely different.
She was of royal blood, but she wasn't recognized, and she wanted to do something but was hindered by others.
Marika had a great reputation, but she wasn't a noble, so she could do something, but she couldn't.
This world... was like a huge joke.
Lily looked at Sag in front of her and sighed secretly.
*It's better to be carefree like Sag...*
A group of people soon arrived at the royal city. At this time, a large number of soldiers had gathered at the gate of the royal city because of the commotion.
Behind the soldiers, on the huge steps, a man wearing overalls, a grass crown on his head, but full of gold jewelry, stared at Marika.
"Marika! Have you betrayed me?! I gave you the status of Royal Chef. Even though you disobeyed my orders, I gave you two years. And now you treat me like this, bringing a group of lowlifes to resist me?!"
"Let me interrupt a bit..."
Sag raised his hand. "I'm not a lowlife. I'm a pirate. And... are you the king?"
"Of course I'm the king of this country! You pirate, do you think that with so few people, you can..."
"Hishigan!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sag flicked his finger and a hole appeared in the king's head, spurting blood.
The king's eyes widened, still maintaining a fierce expression, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Solved. Your condition is fulfilled," Sag smiled at Marika.
Marika was obviously stunned. "Just like... that?"
That was the king!
The ruler of a country, the existence that made many people displaced, the natural ruler!
But in Sag's hands, he couldn't even finish speaking...
"Sometimes, think differently..."
Sag smiled. "Isn't a king also a human? People die when they are killed. No matter what kind of authority they have, once they die, they have nothing. Just like if you can't adapt to the rules, then change the rules to make you adapt. This is the life experience I have gained from countless failures."
If you can't do one industry, then change to another industry.
Can a living person be suffocated by urine?
There was always an industry that even someone as unlucky as him could adapt to.
And now he had found it!
This time it wasn't an inexplicable blame. Even if it was, he had also gained benefits.
Besides, now, it was him who took the initiative to rob!
"Kill them!"
The soldiers in the palace, of course, couldn't be compared to those guards. Their money was fully paid, and they wouldn't pay taxes. Of course, they were loyal to the king.
When the king died, they were definitely going to avenge him.
"Sag, let us handle it."
Lily walked out, aimed her rapier at the charging soldiers, "Let's also test our training results."
*Whoosh!*
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared quickly. Her sword gleamed like lightning, flashing into the crowd in the gloomy storm, and appeared behind the soldiers.
"Soru..."
Lily maintained a slightly squatting posture, slowly sheathing her rapier, not looking at the soldiers who turned around and thrust their spears at her.
"Lightning Waltz."
*Ka.*
The two-finger-wide rapier blade returned to its scabbard, making a sound.
*Chih!!*
The next moment, the bodies of the soldiers spurted blood and fell.
"Oh... you've mastered it."
Sag was surprised. "Not bad."
Lily's speed was already very fast. Now that she had mastered *Soru*, although it was not yet pure, she had been able to use it.
And on the other side, Gin was also like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, waving the iron ball-tipped staff and jumping into the crowd. With a wave of the staff, the iron ball smashed a group of people.
As for the spears that stabbed down, they completely missed Gin. His body twisted strangely, like a paper strip floating in the wind, dodging the attacks of a large number of spears, and then swung the staff again, knocking a group of people flying.
The first one to master... was actually 'Kami-e'.
But thinking about it, Gin's body flexibility was indeed good, and his combat response was also very fast. He could make incredible body movements in battle. It was expected that he would master *Kami-e* first.
Although it was also not pure, and they had all mastered it by relying on their own talents, how long had it been?
To reach this level was already good.
This made Sag very satisfied. His subordinates were beginning to grow, and he was also going to harvest a kingdom's treasure!
With so many taxes collected, the accumulated wealth... must be much more than that of the Kingdom of Nattia!
*Boom!*
Thunder rumbled in the storm. The subordinates were like a crushing force among the soldiers. The brightness of the lightning was reflected on his face, making his wanton smile look very ferocious.
"Hahaha, ho-hahahaha!"
Wild and unrestrained laughter resounded fiercely under the storm. Renettia also laughed with Sag's laughter, twisting the tool hammer. The dynamic force turned, transforming it into a cannon.
*Boom!!*
A cannonball blasted into the palace, creating a huge gap, and burning in the wind and rain.
"What are you doing, Renetti!" Sag shouted.
"Setting the mood!"
Renettia said matter-of-factly, "I always feel like if I don't do something evil, it won't match your laughter."
Sag: "..."
What does that have to do with my laughter?
