Oh shit: A Thought.

If that blast actually managed to kill the king, surely the guards will sense/know it quickly enough. No longer having a purpose (and in fact, having failed their mission), they may no longer care about their own self preservation (don't need to stay alive to protect the king if there's no king). And, for that matter, even less reason to get the kid all healed up, since they never really liked her anyway.

Gon may be in some deep shit.

I mean, Netero is dead any way you slice it. But, for this particular operation, it never really seemed like he was the one leading the charge anyway. Seemed more like everyone else's plans were worked out independent of his. Sure, they were all still counting on him to take the king, I suppose.

Y'know, I guess really the question becomes what/if anyone planned for what happens at the end of the big fight? Either the old man wins and the king is dead, leaving everyone else handling the guards going off. Or he fails and the king survives, leaving everyone else fighting guards they still couldn't beat, and also the king returning to clean house.

This may have been a suicide mission for everyone from the start. Cuz I'm having a real hard time believing in any scenario where anyone comes out of this saying "We did it, the ants are dead" without heavy casualties. It's been pretty well established that the royal guards are still more than anyone can handle. Even if Netero somehow killed the king and survived, he never would've had enough left in him to put down the guards as well, he was basically doomed no matter what.
