Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the sun rose as usual. The fate of the Lys Kingdom was about to come to an end.
"Boss, everything is ready. We can move now!”Bale said.
"Very good, Ross, you guard the port. If you encounter any navy reinforcements nearby, kill them all! Bale, attack the palace with me. Leave no one from the Lys royal family alive!”Hades ordered coldly.
"Yes, boss!" The two answered in unison.
Then, Ross turned around and rushed toward the port.
Meanwhile, Hades led Bale and the rest of his subordinates towards the palace.
The palace of the Lys Kingdom had three lines of defense. The first line was the outermost wall that separated the noble residential area from the civilian residential area. It was used to defend against external enemies and also to separate the nobles from the ordinary civilians, preventing the lowly people in the eyes of the nobles from offending them. The second line of defense was the wall of the palace. This wall separated the nobles from the members of the royal family to show the nobility of the members of the royal family of the Lys Kingdom. This wall was guarded by General Victor, who was also one of the main figures who destroyed the Kingdom of Blanca.
He had also found out about the ability of the Demon Fruit. It wasn't a rare superhuman type Demon Fruit, but an ordinary animal type Rhinoceros Fruit. Back then, he relied on the powerful defense brought by the Rhinoceros Fruit to kill the general of the Kingdom of Blanca, who was once on par with him, and defeat the army of the kingdom.
The third line of defense was the main gate of the palace. It was made of the hardest iron and was extremely hard. In the past, the great general of the Lys Kingdom had tried his best but failed to break open the door.
In the eyes of outsiders, the three indestructible defense lines were like castles made of sand in Hades 'eyes, which could be shattered with a single slap.
And now, Hades was ready to smash them into pieces.
Hades brought his men and walked aggressively towards the capital, attracting the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Stop! Who are you? Do you want to attack the capital?”A city guard asked Hades loudly.
"Bale, I'll leave this bunch of trash to you!”Hades said indifferently.
"Got it, Boss!"
"Thunder Fury!" Bale shouted, and dozens of huge bolts of lightning descended from the sky and struck the city wall.
With a loud bang, a huge sound rang out, causing a large amount of dust to fly. When the dust dispersed, a shocking scene appeared.
The outer city wall and all the soldiers guarding the city were destroyed by the lightning that fell from the sky. The former city wall was only left in ruins.
"Continue forward!" Looking at the ruins, Hades said expressionlessly.
Then, the group of people moved towards the palace walls. The person guarding there was the great general of the Lys Kingdom, Victor.
When the outermost wall was destroyed, Victor was alarmed by the loud noise. When he heard the noise coming from the outermost wall, Victor knew that there might be an enemy invasion. He sent soldiers to the outer wall to investigate the situation and ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. At the same time, he sent messengers to report the news to the King in the palace just in case.
Victor had dealt with many pirates since he was guarding the capital. However, judging from the commotion caused by the outer walls, the enemies that invaded this time should be very powerful. He might not be a match for them, so his face was full of seriousness.
"Da... Da... Da... Da…" A group of footsteps sounded.
Hades and the others slowly approached the city wall.
"The enemy has appeared. Prepare for battle!" General Victor shouted at the soldiers.
"Who are you? Why are you invading our country?”Victor asked Hades.
"Hehe, we are pirates. Do pirates need a reason to rob a country?”Hades asked.
"Are you pirates? Damn it, don't you know that there's a navy branch nearby? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the navy comes, you will only be eliminated!”Victor threatened.
"Navy? I was hoping he would come! Anyway, no matter how many miscellaneous fish there are, they are still miscellaneous fish!" Hades said indifferently.
"Damn pirates!"
"I want to fight you one-on-one. If I win, you have to leave obediently!”Victor had no choice but to think of this method, hoping to delay time.
"Duel? Hmph, do you think you have the right to choose? Bale, I'll leave him to you. Kill him as soon as possible! I'm already a little impatient!" Hades said impatiently.
"Damn it, Rhinoceros Charge!" Seeing that hope was shattered, Victor roared angrily and used the Devil's Fruit ability. Then, he jumped off the city wall and charged at Bale with the downward impact.
"Thunder Fury Claw!" With lightning all over his body, Bale waved his bear claws at Victor.
Boom! The bull horn and the bear claw collided with a loud noise.
Victor was then sent flying by Bale's claw, crashing into the city wall with a bang. The wall collapsed, raising a cloud of dust. After a while, the dust settled, and Victor was lying miserably on a pile of rocks. His rhinoceros horn was broken, and his body was covered in blood. His eyes were rolled back, and he was about to die.
"Bah! You can't even withstand a single blow!" Bale spat and said disdainfully.
In his previous life, people often said that there were no garbage Devil Fruits, only garbage users. However, Hades did not agree. It was like two demon fruits were placed in front of you. One was the Silent Fruit, and the other was the Thunder Fruit. Which one would you eat? As long as there was nothing wrong with their brains, they would choose the Thunder Fruit.
For the same reason, no matter how hard you tried to develop an ordinary animal-type creature, it would still be an ordinary animal. It would never be comparable to the mythical beasts that had all kinds of divine powers in myths.
Therefore, it was normal for Victor to be crushed.
"Handcuff him with Hai Loushi and send a few people to escort him back to the ship to be used as experimental material for the doctor! "When a new character appears, he has already been drawn out. It's just that he hasn't appeared yet. There are also other good things that have been drawn out. They will slowly appear." Hades instructed.
After dealing with Victor and the rest of the soldiers, Hades and the others advanced deeper into the palace.
At this moment, when the palace learned that the palace walls had been breached and that General Victor's fate was unknown, it was in chaos.
"Are you joking? How could such a powerful general be defeated?”A muscular man in armor said loudly. It was obvious that he was a supporter of General Victor.
"What about the navy? Didn't he send them a call for help? Why isn't he here yet? If I don't come, this king will be killed by the pirates!”The king of the Lys Kingdom, Lys the Ninth, said in horror.
"Your Majesty, while the palace gate can still hold on for a moment, we should hurry up and leave!”a minister advised.
"Yes, yes, you're right! Hurry up and pack up the treasure. We have to leave quickly. As long as we reach the naval base, we will be safe!”Lai Si IX said happily.
Just as everyone in the palace was packing up and preparing to escape, a loud bang rang out. The gate made of fine iron was smashed into pieces, and everyone in the palace was so scared that they all crawled to the ground.
Outside the door, Bale slowly retracted his bear claws that were wrapped in lightning and stood behind Hades.
"Da... Da... Da…" The sound of slow footsteps could be heard.
Hades slowly walked into the palace with his hands behind his back. He looked at the ugly state of Lai Si IX and the nobles and ministers with disdain.
"Who are you? Why did you invade my country? Let me tell you, I'm the king of a country that has joined the World Government. If you touch me, the World Government and the Navy will not let you off!”Although Lai Si IX was trembling non-stop, he still forced himself to speak.
"Heh, World Government? Navy? If I was afraid of them, do you think I would still be standing here?”Hades said disdainfully.
"Then what do you want? If you want money, this king can give you all the money in the treasure vault! As long as you leave!" Lai Si IX said in fear.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. As long as I kill all of you, won't everything be mine?”Hades smiled.
However, in the eyes of Lys IX, this smile was even more terrifying than a demon.
"Oh, right, before I kill you, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the captain of the Shadow Pirates, Lannister Hades!”Hades said.
"Lannister Hades? Lannister? You are the only survivor of the royal family of the Kingdom of Blanca!”A noble suddenly remembered and said in horror.
As for Lys IX and the other nobles and ministers, their faces were ashen, because they knew that they were doomed.
"Alright, after chatting for so long, it's time to send you on your way!”
"Shadow Rage!" Without waiting for them to beg for mercy, Hades released countless shadow bats and pounced on Lai Si IX and the others.
"Ah! Don't come over!"
"Get lost! You monsters!"
"Help! I don't want to die yet!"
"Someone come! Someone save me!"
In an instant, everyone in the Lys Kingdom was enveloped by the black bats, and everyone inside was constantly being bitten by the bats. Heart-wrenching screams kept coming from the bats.
"Ahahahaha!"
Hearing the screams, Hades laughed wildly.
After a while, as the screams gradually disappeared, the number of black bats gradually decreased. Slowly, all the bats disappeared. What was shocking was that all the people from the Lys Kingdom had disappeared. Other than a lot of blood on the ground, there was no one else. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Phew!" After letting out a long sigh and completing his predecessor's last wish, Hades felt a lot more relaxed.
"Let's go and see how Ross is doing.”After sensing the entire palace with the color of sight and confirming that there were no living people, Hades and the others left.
"Boom!" After Hades and the others left, a huge lightning pillar descended and destroyed the entire palace.
