Hearing the words of the guard leader, Thales's heart trembled.

What?

Execution?

how come.

Rumbata…

"No, according to what is said above," the messenger shook his head. He pointed at Thales with a solemn look and deep eyes: "Only leave that boy."

"Kill the others."

Several people in the cell heard this sentence.

They looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Cohen's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Miranda frowned, feeling confused.

The little slippery man poked Thales in panic. The latter suppressed the fear in his heart and pretended to be calm while gesturing to her to calm down.

Judging from the expression on the guard leader's face, he didn't seem to believe it either.

The leader raised the scroll in his hand to a place where the eternal lamp could shine, and looked back and forth several times.

Following his movements, the nerves of Thales and others became tense, and they unconsciously retreated further away from the cell door and fence.

"Okay," finally, the guard leader sighed. He turned his head and looked at his five subordinates who also looked surprised:

"You heard what he said."

Thales's heart was pounding.

No.

How can it be?

The guard nodded slightly and said softly: "Let's do it."

The five guards were startled for a moment, but their instinct to obey orders still made them move.

They turned around, held down the swords at their waists, took out the keys, and opened the four cells where the prisoners were trapped.

For a moment, the only sound in the cell was the sound of unlocking.

"Damn it!" Cohen gritted his teeth and looked at the soldier who was unlocking his cell door, struggling and cursing.

Miranda's face was tense and motionless.

Huaiya leaned against the fence with a frightened expression and stared at Thales.

"Wait!" Thales watched the guard in front of him turn the lock, and watched the little slicker shrink into the corner in horror, his mind in confusion: "The matter between me and Lumba is not over yet!"

He stared at the messenger, then at the leader guarding him: "Go and tell him, if he still wants to know the secret of the Shadow Shield..."

However, the guard leader just shook his head expressionlessly.

"It's too late, kid," he looked at Thales with eyes full of pity: "But at least you can still survive."

Thales watched the five guards hold the swords on their waists and slowly open the locks of the four cell doors, his mind going blank.

He watched Cohen struggle desperately to break free of his chains.

He watched Miranda bend her knees with a determined expression, obviously planning to make a last-ditch effort when the guards came in.

Huaiya, on the other hand, still stared at Thales: "Your Highness! You..."

The little slick guy behind him shook his head in horror.

At that moment, Thales bit his lower lip tightly, his brain spinning crazily.

what to do.

Do you need to bite your lip or tongue with that kind of force?

But according to previous experience, if I do it again... it should be my death.

what to do.

Thales looked at the swords on the waists of the guards and trembled all over.

Damn it.

what to do?

At this moment, an unexpected word interrupted the work of the guards.

"Wait a moment."

The sound of unlocking stopped at the same time.

The guards turned their heads strangely.

For a moment, the only sound left in the cell was Cohen's heavy breathing.

Thales was slightly startled.

Then he raised his head and looked at the person who made the sound.

Unexpectedly, the person who interrupted the guards' actions was the tall guard leader.

only……

Thales narrowed his eyes.

Why, why should he stop it?

"Everyone, stop what you are doing immediately and turn around to face me." The leader's face was cold. He held the sword at his waist and said in a rough voice: "Be armed and on alert."

In the narrow corridor, five guards stood at the door of four cells, looking at the leader and the messenger between them.

The five guards looked at each other, but they still followed their superior's instructions and turned around, while vigilantly holding down the weapons at their waists.

Thales looked at everything in the field in surprise, and his doubts deepened.

This is……

"What's wrong?" Seeing the actions of the guards, the orderly soldier frowned: "Why did you stop?"

The guard leader raised his head and looked at the messenger.

After a second, he said calmly: "I just remembered something."

The ordering soldier was slightly startled.

He looked around at everyone, and then said to the leader impatiently: "This is the Grand Duke's order, no matter what you think of..."

But the guardian interrupted him directly.

"I know a veteran from Qiyuan City," the leader said coldly, "He once served on the border near the desert."

The words that had no beginning or end made everyone else in the cell slightly stunned.

"So?" The messenger seemed a little confused. He glanced at the others and saw confusion in their eyes.

The leader of the guards snorted softly.

"He told me many things, such as the orcs, and the Bone Man." He raised his chin slightly and looked at the messenger with squinted eyes: "Those tribes who paint tattoos in the depths of the desert, those tribes that are closely related to our civilized world

The hostile wilderness people are even more difficult to deal with than the orcs."

The messenger frowned slightly.

"Soldiers on the border generally call them," the leader's eyes became more and more sharp: "Desolate species."

Thales panted slightly and wanted to take advantage of this short period of time to think of a way to save the others.

But his thoughts were confused.

Cohen, who was next door, stopped struggling. The security officer tried his best to raise his head and looked at the two people talking with surprise.

"Hey, buddy," the question on the messenger's face deepened. He pointed to the scroll in the leader's hand: "If you want to tell a story, it's best to wait until the Grand Duke's order is executed..."

"He also told me!" The leader interrupted him with a cold face.

"Although there are different races, most of the wild species have a very unique characteristic," the guard leader grinned, with a fierce expression and sharp words:

"Their eyes...are dark red."

"This is the Desolate Skeleton Man, a symbol of the sin of their entire family's deal with the devil."

Thales looked at the leader's strange behavior and couldn't figure out what was going on.

But Miranda opened her eyes wide and, like Cohen, stared blankly at the field.

As if he couldn't believe it.

The messenger seemed to have thought of something. He said no more or urged the other party.

"So I'm very strange, why in the army under the Grand Duke," the guard leader looked at the silent messenger, coldly pulled out the sword from his waist, gritted his teeth and shouted:

"There will be a Bone Man?"

Thales was stunned for a moment.

Desolate... Desolate Bone Man?

Miranda was stunned.

Cohen was also stunned on the ground.
To be continued...
