Chapter 178 178 Sneak Into The Palace

Speaking of this, Joel looked scared and muttered, "Am I not real, either?"

"Is everyone fake?"

"After you knew the truth, you went to the tavern and got drunk all day long?" Jack asked.

"No, because I have been unwilling to accept the power of demons, Thanos gave up on me and controlled the king to remove my position of the commander of the guards," Joel said awkwardly.

"If your position is removed, how can you bring me in?" Jack asked.

"There's no problem to take you in. Can you defeat Thanos?" Joel asked suspiciously.

After all, even Gilga couldn't defeat him. Could this young man defeat him?

"Gilga asked me to come to you. Do you need me to say anything more?" said Jack.

"Okay..." Joel thought for a while and finally agreed.

"By the way, how are you going to let us sneak into the palace?" Jack asked.

"We certainly can't go through the front door. There are too many demon guards." Joel took Jack to the back of the tavern.

He searched the lawn in the backyard for a while and finally found a secret passage.

"We can go straight to the palace from here. Shall we go to the palace now or look for Gilga first?" Joel asked.

"Wait a minute." Jack waved his hand to stop him.

After a while, the prompt of the system came.

"The fifth step is to sneak into the palace with Joel."

"Sneak into the palace, find the king, draw out Thanos, and defeat him."

"Just go," said Jack.

Hearing this, Joel no longer doubted and took Jack into the dark passage.

Jack finally believed why Joel took him to the palace.

This place was connected in all directions, and there were secret passages everywhere as if they were connected to every part of the palace

Jack couldn't find a way when walking inside, so he had to follow Joel.

The two of them walked in the secret passage for half an hour before a light finally appeared above them.

"Sir, I won't go upstairs. I'll go back and continue to drink. I wish you success," said Joel.

According to him, it was difficult to defeat Thanos. Although Gilga trusted Jack, he still had some doubts.

He planned to continue to be depressed, waiting for the next warrior to come and bring him to the palace

"It's not worthy trusting me?"

Jack had no choice. After Joel left, he climbed out of the secret passage.

As soon as he climbed out, Jack heard the sound of demon guards around him.

But fortunately, he had a nameless cloak to cover his aura.

After the demon guards went on patrol, Jack walked into the palace.

When he just walked to a corner, he met a person.

"Gilga, why is he here?"

Jack was shocked and wondered why Gilga was there

But it seemed that he was caught, and many demon guards were escorting him inside.

Noticing something, Gilga glanced at Jack and then turned his head away.

"Did he do it on purpose?"

Jack knew in his heart that Gilga was very powerful.

If he could escape from Thanos, he wouldn't be captured by the ordinary demon guards.

The reason why he was caught now might be that he wanted to help him.

"It seems that he is going to throw the dice alone..." Jack nodded, admiring the former commander.

He deserved more respect than Joel.

Along the way, he didn't meet anyone else. He followed the men who were escorting Gilga.

Before long, they arrived at a huge square.

There were more and more guards here. Jack had no choice but to hide.

There were too many guards. It would be fine if there were only demon guards.

Even if Jack was found, he could kill them in an instant.

But these people were all normal guards and might even be subordinates of Gilga.

Jack couldn't get rid of them unless he had to.

In the huge square, Gilga was escorted to the center.

Under the gaze of everyone, the king of this country came out and was supported by a group of guards.

"Your Majesty." These guards bowed, and a dense mass of people knelt on the square.

"Why isn't Thanos here?"

Jack was surprised. He didn't expect that Thanos would not show up on such an occasion. Did he only like to operate in secret?

Thinking of this, the king stepped onto the platform under the spotlight.

"My people, I'm going to announce a piece of unfortunate news..." the king said.

His voice was hoarse and he looked very weak.

The people kneeling didn't understand what had happened. Why did the king suddenly release the news and look so sickly?

"As you can see, I'm seriously ill and have no energy to rule the country anymore," the king said.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, including the guards in the square.

Some commoners who were specially invited to the palace were also surprised, wondering why the king would say so.

"So, I plan to pass the throne to my brother, Thanos, whom I have lost for many years," the king continued.

Hearing this, Jack finally understood that Thanos was coveting the throne.

It seemed that he had planned it for a long time, but Jack didn't know why he didn't take action until today.

Was it because he caught Gilga?

The commoners below cheered and were very excited.

More and more civilians were allowed to enter the palace.

Jack managed to sneak in and came to the square.

"Before the throne was taken over, we caught the traitor, Gilga. I'm gratified."

"Today, let me kill this traitor before I abdicate," the king said as he stood up.

"Guards, bring the traitor, Gilga, here."

The commoners were all blinded, and at this moment, they were all shouting for killing the traitor.

Seeing this, Jack shook his head helplessly.

If Gilga was captured and killed like this, how miserable his life would be

"Wait a minute."

Jack couldn't help shouting when he saw the cheering crowd.

"What's wrong, my people?" the king looked at Jack and asked.

The guards around held their weapons tightly and walked toward Jack. "How dare you! Are you going to speak for the traitor?"

"I haven't said anything yet. Are you in a hurry to catch me?" Jack said with a smile. Was Thanos in such a hurry to kill people?

"What do you want to say?" the king asked.

"It's very simple. Since the king wants to ascend the throne, why doesn't Thanos show up? Isn't this new king too arrogant?" Jack said calmly.

Although his words were unpleasant to hear, some commoners nodded.

The new king wanted to ascend to the throne. Some words from the former king couldn't be enough. He had to appear.
