National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

"Mr. Sanpao, they are not bad people. It was the heroes of the Benevolent Society who drove away the man-eating spiders and saved us."

Pique appeared calm, but his hand was tightly gripping the hem of Renyi's shirt.

His younger siblings are still small and don't understand what happened... He must... he must become a reliable adult—

At least until I see my loved ones!

Only after hearing Pique's confirmation did Sanpao completely lower his guard and throw the broken halberd back to his men.

"Pique, where are your parents?"

The little boy's eyes reddened, and he quickly looked down at the broken pebbles at his feet:

"My father and mother... have both been killed. We need to go to the palace to find my aunt."

The water seemed to stand still for a moment.

"Bang!"

Sanpao slammed the half-wall next to him with a heavy thud, sending debris flying.

"This has nothing to do with fish!"

He cursed through gritted teeth.

For some reason, my two older brothers were both transferred to the lower city to arrest people today. He was in charge of patrolling the residential area, but the market was attacked at this time.

The royal palace is much closer to here, but where are the Golden Guards?

They wouldn't budge an inch!

The wounded guards helped each other up, their resentment palpable.

Aurora looked at Ren Yi questioningly, "Should we treat these merfolk?"

Ren Yi's gaze remained calm, and he subtly shook his head.

Carlos had mentioned this before.

In the Deep Blue Kingdom, only a few members of the Sacrifice Tower possess the ability to instantly heal.

At this critical juncture when factional struggles are raging, rashly displaying such abilities in the royal city would only arouse suspicion.

They had just helped this group of defeated soldiers save their lives.

This life-saving grace is enough to be exploited and enough to pay the price for the information.

Any more... would just be adding trouble for myself.

Captain Sanpao stood up, propped up by the remaining half of the trident, and looked at the three children with a worried expression.

"You're lucky... you ran into the Benevolent Society."

He sighed as he thought of the Dirks, who had repeatedly spoken out against racial discrimination.

He reached out to touch Dean's giggling face, but found his hands covered in blood, so he awkwardly put them down.

At this critical juncture...

The eldest princess, as one of the crown princes, is only concerned with guarding against her own people... She is far inferior to the third princess, who always puts the overall situation first.

But the Third Princess has always been kind-hearted, so how could she do something like destroying the Rift Prison to save a fish?

Could it be...

"Times are indeed tough, Captain, but right now the most important thing is that the children need a safe place to go."

Arbitrarily interrupted Sanpao's contemplation with concern.

"...Yes, yes!"

The child's whereabouts are of utmost importance.

Sanpao nodded in agreement.

"Pike, you take Rose and Dean with us and complete the patrol mission first. Then I will personally take you to the palace to find Sophia."

In the current situation, only the royal palace is truly safe.

How can this be allowed?

He smiled sincerely, his eyes crinkling at will, but his words were blunt:

"Buddy... I don't mean to discourage your sense of responsibility... but if we run into something during patrol, you guys might have trouble protecting yourselves..."

The unspoken meaning—

With three children to care for, two of whom require constant supervision, your survival rate is questionable given your current fighting strength.

Sanpao's face turned red, and he opened and closed his cheeks for a long time, but couldn't squeeze out a single word of rebuttal.

"Then...what does Your Excellency mean?"

His tone softened.

"To see someone through to the end, even if you're already a Buddha."

He casually and generously showed off the diverse group of people behind him.

"We happen to be going to take care of some personal business near the palace, so we'll escort Pike and the others there while we're at it. Don't worry, the Benevolent Society always values ​​its reputation, and we'll definitely deliver to your door with free shipping and shipping insurance."

Although he couldn't understand the latter part about free shipping and insurance, Sanpao knew they had no reason to lie to him.

He only thought for a moment.

He then took out a small blue conch shell with a shimmering, iridescent thread from his belt and handed it to Renyi.

"My benefactor, this is a personal token from my Silver Guard."

"Take this, and the guards of the Golden Guard won't make things difficult for you, except—never mind, go to the South Gate and find Sophia in the Weaving Department, she's the child's aunt."

Sam, the vice-captain of the Golden Guard, is a treacherous villain.

However, this guy has always been arrogant and haughty, so he probably wouldn't be involved in guarding the gate.

"I can't thank you enough; I, Sanpao, owe you all two enormous favors!"

He accepted the conch shell at will.

[Sanpao's personal keepsake]

Oh, it seems to be just a useless keepsake.

"polite."

Anyway, it was a convenient thing to do, and I even gained an official pass and goodwill points, so it was a good deal.

Saying goodbye to the guards of the Silver Guard Team Three.

The line of fish finally reached the deepest part of the upper city of the royal city.

The seawater here is crystal clear, comparable to the most expensive aquariums, and before your eyes... is a magnificent castle that appears to be carved from a single piece of azure jade.

However, from a distance...

The deep blue-blue guards, clad in golden scales, were stationed every three steps and sentries every five steps.

Knights riding giant seahorses, just like Little Red, patrolled the outer walls in a crisscross pattern. The steel halberds they carried were clearly made of much more substantial materials than those carried by the Silver Guards.

He glanced at Sean casually.

Looks like this guy stole some good stuff from the Golden Guard before heading to the sea.

"Brother Renyi, why don't we just go straight there?"

Pique was a little impatient.

At that moment, he was hiding behind a clump of giant seaweed with several adults.

With the crowds at the palace gates, not even a piece of seaweed could float past, let alone a live fish. Carlos and Sean had absolutely no chance of getting through the main gate.

"Carlos, how did you sneak into the palace?"

Turn your head and ask an expert.

An expert said there was an abandoned old pipe under Pearl Garden in Risbun that no one but him and Risbun knew about, and that he always went through it.

Look around at the line.

They quickly decided to split into two groups.

Klaus and I led the three children through the main entrance.

"Our weapons are not afraid of body searches, and the species seem... to have a higher moral standard."

Ivan & Aurora: "..."

That cannot be refuted.

Nathan stared wide-eyed, pointing to his own nose. What was he lacking?

Whether it's their appearance or their species, they have no problem using the main entrance!

Immediately afterwards, Ren Yi spoke up:

"You'll be the one to cover for me in case of any unforeseen events."

Ok.

Nathan was satisfied.

Then you hear Renyi whisper to Aurora, "If all else fails, just poison them all."

"Don't worry, boss."

Aurora gave a cold smile, which sent a chill down the spines of the members of the secret passage group.

"Well then, good luck to you all... See you at the palace."

The two teams went in opposite directions, with one holding Pike and the other Rose on the left and right, while Klaus carried Dean, swimming calmly toward the shimmering golden defense line.

Just a few dozen meters away, two long halberds suddenly crossed and were placed horizontally in front of him.

"stop!"

"The royal palace is under complete lockdown! All unauthorized personnel must retreat, or they will be killed on the spot!"
