Chapter 139 - Chapter 139 Slap You to Death

They proceeded towards Bruce's mansion, while remaining vigilant of the patrolling cavalry.

When they cautiously arrived at Bruce's mansion, they found that the main gate had been severely damaged.

Entering the house, apart from the messy interior, there was no sign of Bruce.

It was a scene of emptiness, with overturned boxes and cabinets, and various items scattered all over the floor.

"No one could possibly be living here..."

Gian sighed, looking around but finding no clues.

"I think Bruce has already been captured by those soldiers. He's probably in prison."

"That Dabrandat, after usurping the throne, would certainly clear out rebels to solidify his position. How could he ignore the princess's supporters?"

Nobi Hiroshi said with a frown.

"If Bruce has been captured by the enemy, then I can't find anyone else I can trust."

Kenfeike clenched her fists, her expression somewhat depressed. With only one supporter in the entire kingdom, her situation was truly miserable.

Given this situation, if Nobi Hiroshi and his companions hadn't come, it would have been better to just abdicate, though even that might not guarantee her survival.

"Don't worry, Coal Ball. Even without Bruce, you still have us..."

Nobi Hiroshi gently comforted the young girl, holding her clenched small fist.

"Yes, thank you all..."

A warm current flowed through her heart. Feeling the warmth of his palm, Kenfeike held back the tears in the corners of her eyes and put on a cheerful expression again.

"Um, it's certainly right to help, but what exactly happened? Can Kenfeike explain it more clearly?"

Doraemon, who had been silent for a long time, also asked the question on his mind.

They hadn't finished explaining the situation before, only giving a general story about helping Bruce regain power, but they weren't clear about the exact situation of this kingdom.

"Okay, while it's still safe here, I'll quickly explain!"

Kenfeike clutched the gem on her chest, recounting the origin of the situation.

More than five thousand years ago, the kingdom possessed a more advanced civilization than it does now. Her ancestors used the power of science to invent terrifying weapons such as steam trains and flying ships.

However, the wise King Bawugang I discovered that endless invention of new weapons would lead the world to destruction.

Therefore, he ordered the prohibition of weapon research and sealed all research records. For safety, he also ordered the construction of a giant statue to serve as the guardian god of their kingdom.

After thousands of years, although their scientific power declined, the kingdom managed to maintain peace and prosperity.

In recent times, the ambitious minister Dabrandat emerged. He unsealed ancient weapons, attempting to invade external countries to strengthen their own.

He ambitiously sought to expand outwards and seize resources. Kenfeike, who opposed this policy, naturally did not gain the approval of the ministers.

Especially the warlike army, who hoped to gain immense merits through territorial expansion, so they allied with Dabrandat and launched a rebellion.

Kenfeike was framed for regicide and usurping the throne, so she was wanted by the kingdom and wandered outside until she met Nobi Hiroshi.

Hehe, it's quite laughable; any normal person wouldn't be fooled by this reason. Who would be so bored as an heir to assassinate their own father?

However, Dabrandat was merely arrogant and self-important, isolated from the world and indulging in ancient glory.

If he were to truly venture out with millennium-old technology, he'd be reduced to dust by modern weapons in minutes.

"So, we need to get Dabrandat out of power. What should we do next...?"

Doraemon looked at Kenfeike sympathetically, but before he could finish his sentence, he heard a clamor outside the courtyard.

"Coal Ball, don't move yet."

"Let's go outside and see."

Nobi Hiroshi's expression turned cold, and he quietly leaned by the door to look.

He saw two soldiers chasing a civilian child, and soon they pinned him to the ground.

"You stinky brat, you're so good at running, aren't you? Let's see how you run now!"

The guard laughed triumphantly, pulling out a dagger from his waist, ready to deliver a harsh blow.

Kenfeike immediately couldn't bear it and was about to rescue her citizen, but fortunately, Hiroshi timely pressed her shoulder, stopping her impulsive behavior.

"I'll go."

Nobi Hiroshi said calmly, instantly moving over and kicking away the two soldiers.

The little loli just couldn't hold her temper. Exposing her identity so easily would ruin everything. Doesn't she understand the importance of discreet development and staying calm?

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in our business? Do you know who I..."

The soldier propped himself up with his sword hilt, but before he could finish his threats, an unfeeling iron palm directly slapped them speechless.

Slap~ Slap~ Slap~

Nobi Hiroshi couldn't be bothered to argue with them. He was a man of few words, and he would just slap them to death. The two dogs were directly slapped unconscious.

"Phew, tie them up and take them to the back."

He shook his hand. His face, as thick as a city wall, hurt a bit from the slapping. It was better to grab something soft for himself.

"What's your name? Why were you being chased by those two soldiers?"

Everyone walked into the courtyard, and Kenfeike looked at the civilian child with concern, offering a smile.

"My name is Qibo. I was chased because I stole their lunch. It was my fault, but I was really starving."

The child said with a wronged expression, rubbing his stomach, which hadn't eaten for three days.

Nobi Hiroshi paused slightly when he heard the child's name. Why didn't he say it backward? Wouldn't it be more majestic and powerful if said backward?

"Bochi, what about your parents?"

Shizuka asked sympathetically.

"My parents were both captured by them, and so was everyone else in the village." Qibo lowered his head in sorrow. "The army suddenly came to our village and took people. My mom and dad were taken to be weapon manufacturers!"

"I'm very sorry."

"But don't worry, I will definitely rescue your parents!"

Kenfeike lowered her head guiltily. Not protecting her citizens was a king's shame.

"Really? Thank you, big sister!"

Little Qibo jumped up happily. Although he didn't know why this kind big sister was apologizing, it didn't matter.

"Coal Ball, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Things will work out slowly."

Nobi Hiroshi said softly, and Kenfeike reluctantly hummed in agreement.

According to Qibo, the situation in the kingdom wasn't that bad, and Kenfeike's chances of regaining power were close to 100%.

The good news was that Dabrandat was unpopular and harmed the people and the country. The bad news was that he held absolute power, and dealing with tens of thousands of troops wouldn't be easy.

For an ordinary person, it might be over, but they had Doraemon as a backup, so what was there to fear?

However, Doraemon's offensive gadgets were sent for future repairs, so a direct confrontation would definitely put them at a disadvantage. They could only approach it from other angles.

The most ideal method would be to incite a rebellion among the dog-people.
