Chapter 126: Walpo the Tyrant
Dalton, his face resolute and his expression serious, looked intently at Mu Chong and said...
"Hmm? How can you guarantee that Wapol won't leave the palace?"
Slad asked from the side.
"Hmph! Wapol is a selfish and self-righteous ruler, but he is also a coward who fears death. Only if I go alone will he lower his guard. As for how to get him out of the palace, I have my own ways!"
Dalton's voice was filled with anger, and his face was very serious, yet he exuded a hint of confidence.
"Hahaha! Looks like you've had this in mind all along! Dalton! Alright! Then it's up to you!"
Mu Chong gave Dalton a deep look. The man in front of him was over two meters tall, slightly taller than him. After agreeing with him, Mu Chong walked into the cave on his own.
Slard walked over to Dalton, patted him on the shoulder, gave him an approving look, and then turned and went into the cave.
A moment later, only Dalton and Belinda, wearing a coat, remained outside the cave entrance.
"Brother Dalton, is it dangerous for you to go like this?"
Belinda's voice was full of worry; she didn't want Dalton to take that risk.
"Hahaha! Don't worry about Belinda, I'll be in no danger. Besides, I have to go; this might be your chance to break free of this curse!"
Dalton looked down at Belinda, a pang of sadness in his heart. This girl had endured unimaginable suffering since childhood, for a full eight years.
"But……"
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Belinda! I can sense that they in the cave aren't bad people, and they possess great strength. This is an opportunity, Belinda!"
Dalton glanced up at the cave, then looked at Belinda, his eyes filled with determination.
"Come back safely, Dalton!"
Belinda watched Dalton walk away, clenched her hands over her chest, and silently prayed.
Inside the cave, Enel ate an apple, his gaze drifting to Mu Chong, who was deep in thought beside him.
"Captain! Doing this will only embolden that guy's ambition! It's clear he's had those thoughts for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity, and what you did just now..."
Enel's voice was rather low; perhaps in his heart, that guy's actions were insignificant, something he could easily wipe out with a flick of his wrist. He simply didn't know his captain's true thoughts.
"Hahahaha! Ambition? This world has never lacked ambitious people. Some people bury their ambition deep in their hearts and wait for decades, while others expose their ambition and are already prepared to die!"
"But what does it matter, Enel? Your Observation Haki should be able to sense how much that guy cares about these kids. How bad can a man with that kind of mentality be? It's just a matter of lending a hand when you get what you want!"
Mu Chong's calm voice rang in Enel's ears, causing him to fall into deep thought. Apart from the crackling of the campfire, the only other sound in the cave was the peaceful breathing of the children.
……
call!
The white snowflakes falling from the sky suddenly became more rapid, accompanied by a howling wind, causing Dalton, who was running, to instinctively tighten his coat.
At this moment, Dalton didn't know why he was so determined to rush to the palace. He had only had a brief encounter with the people in the cave. Could it be that he had developed such a sense of trust?
"no!"
A smile appeared in Dalton's eyes. Wasn't this the opportunity he had been waiting for?
Since Walpole became king, he has implemented a series of disastrous policies, which have given Dalton ulterior motives; perhaps he has been waiting for this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Dalton quickened his pace again, as if he could already see his ambitions being realized.
……
"Report! Lord Jess, Dalton is heading towards the palace at great speed!"
A soldier rushed into the palace and spoke to Jess in front of a palace gate.
"Oh? Dalton? What's he doing here without being summoned by His Majesty the King? Is he all alone?"
Upon hearing the soldier's report, Jess's face showed surprise, and he asked...
"Yes! Lord Jess! Dalton was all alone, with no one else around!"
"Hehehe, come on, take me to the palace gate. I want to see what this guy is up to."
When Jess heard that Dalton was alone, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to lead the way.
At this moment, at the main gate of the palace, Dalton was slightly out of breath, looking up at the tall palace buildings with a complex expression in his eyes.
"Hehehe, Dalton, do you know what the consequences would be for trespassing into the palace without the summons of the great King Valpo?"
Just then, Jess's voice came from inside the open palace gates, followed by a troop of soldiers running out. Jess walked in the middle and came to the outside of the gate.
"Jess, I have urgent business to discuss with King Wapol. Please let me in!"
Dalton looked anxious, and his tone sounded tense.
"Oh? Something important? Dalton, tell me what's so important first. If it's worth reporting to His Majesty the King, I'll go in and report!"
Jess frowned when he saw Dalton's nervous expression. This usually composed army commander seemed rather unusual today.
"Jess, this matter is of utmost importance. I must see King Wapol in person. Please let me in!"
choke!
As Dalton spoke, he tried to rush inside, but was stopped by soldiers who drew their swords.
"Hehehe, Dalton, are you mistaken? Without the summons of the great King Valpo, you could not have entered the palace. How dare you force your way in? You will only face death!"
Jess's face contorted in a ferocious expression, as if mocking a fool who overestimated his abilities.
"Phew! Then go and report that a group of pirates are contacting the cursed person and trying to help them. Only King Wapol can resolve this!"
A closer analysis reveals that Dalton's words are completely illogical, but when Jess heard about the cursed person, his expression clearly tensed up; that guy was related to Wapol's reputation in the country.
"You wait here! Dalton! I'm going to report to His Majesty the King. Men, keep an eye on him. If he makes any sudden movements, kill him without mercy!"
Jess suddenly became serious, gave an order to the soldiers, and then turned and walked into the palace.
call!call!call!
The sound of wind and snow grew louder, and the snowflakes fell more and more urgently to the ground, threatening to form a blizzard.
Dalton glanced at the distant cave with a complicated look in his eyes, and silently made a vow.
"Please forgive me for doing this, but I will definitely protect you!"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Just then, the kingdom's gates opened again, and a huge, white animal resembling a hippopotamus slowly emerged from the palace gates. On its back sat King Walbourne of the Iron Bucket Kingdom.
Wapol was obese with dark purple hair, a large mouth, and a cylindrical chin made of iron. He wore thick winter clothes over iron armor and was covered with the fur of a white beast.
"Hahahaha! My army captain Dalton, I've heard you've brought me some incredible intelligence! Tell me about it!"
Wahlbo sat atop the white beast, casually glancing down at Dalton and asking...
On either side of the white beast stood Wapol's advisor, Jess, and his affairs officer, Cromarimon, a man with an afro and a beard.
"Hoo! Yes! Your Majesty King Wapol, those pirates are currently in the forest to the north, and Your Majesty needs to go and wipe them out!"
Dalton took a deep breath and spoke loudly to Walpo.
"Hahaha! How dare they challenge my great policy! These guys are courting death! It seems we must wipe them out! Hmm! But, Dalton, what is their strength?"
Upon hearing Walpole's question, Dalton slowly lowered his head, a peculiar smile appearing on his face.
