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.
Listening to the inexplicable conversation, Thales' heart moved.
Could it be...
The guards looked at each other, confused.
But at the leader's signal, they all became vigilant, vaguely surrounding the unfamiliar messenger, and slowly unsheathed their swords.
The next second, the messenger sighed and explained to the leader: "Because I don't have enough time."
The guard leader frowned: "What?"
The messenger shook his head, as if annoyed, and sighed: "It's time for some wind to blow."
The unknown words made the guard leader feel angry. He gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression: "Who are you..."
At this moment.
A colder wind, slightly stronger than before, blew outside the cell!
"Whee--" The cold air poured in from the crack in the door, making a harsh scream.
The sound of the wind even drowned out the voices in the cell.
At the same moment, before the swords of the five guards were completely unsheathed, the eternal lamp in the cell suddenly trembled slightly.
Thales' eyes flashed. In the blink of an eye, the messenger suddenly turned around and already had the long sword in his hand.
Immediately, there was a shocking sword light that Thales had ever seen in his life, the brightest, fastest, most silent, but also the most soul-stirring...
Like thunderbolts piercing the dark sky...
Shining out from the left hand of the messenger!
"Huhu——"
The wind howled, shrill and shrill, and the figures flickered.
As the messenger spun around, the three guards closest to him shot out blood from their necks at the same time!
The nervous guard leader roared and unsheathed his sword.
He opened his mouth and roared something, but his words were drowned in the sound of the wind along with the sound of the sword being unsheathed.
Tenth of a second later, the messenger with a cold face turned around.
The long sword in his left hand turned into a ray of light and flashed through the air.
Finally, it sank into the chest of the guard farthest from him.
The next moment, the messenger had already rushed in front of the guard leader.
The guard leader with a shocked face did not panic. He took steady steps, calmly raised his sword high, and slashed at the unknown intruder with astonishing momentum!
The power of termination bursts out from the leader's body.
This sword is smooth and powerful, precise and skillful. The intruder who does not have a weapon in hand has only one way to dodge.
But the intruder did something that shocked Thales.
He remained standing, raising his right hand high and standing vertically in front of the sword.
It's as if you are trying to support the opponent's attack with your palm!
Amidst the endless howling wind, Miranda let out an exclamation that no one could hear.
In the next breath, the leader's long sword started from the middle finger and struck the intruder's palm.
The sword blade broke into the bones, splitting into his wrist and forearm.
Like chopping wood, he brutally chopped open the intruder's overestimating little arm!
The guard leader's sword finally stopped in the middle of the intruder's forearm.
The leader's expression suddenly changed: his sword blade could no longer cut.
What's even more strange is that the intruder whose forearm was split did not cry out or moan, as if it was not his hand.
The intruder just raised the forearm holding the sword blade and turned it slightly.
In an instant, amid the noise of the wind that covered everything, the long sword of the guarding leader was broken from the intruder's forearm.
At that moment, the sword edge made of steel seemed countless times more fragile than the dried leaves.
The leader held up the broken sword blankly.
Under his stunned expression, the intruder opened his right arm that was split in two, and his fingers miraculously moved.
In the flash of lightning, he caught the fallen broken blade, and then gently threw out his right hand.
Following his movements, the broken blade flew three steps away and sank into the last guard's throat - his sword had only been two-thirds drawn out.
The next second, the intruder swung his left fist and made an ordinary uppercut, hitting the guard leader's abdomen directly.
In the harsh sound of the wind, huge power surged in.
The guard leader opened his eyes with extremely shocked eyes and lifted his legs off the ground.
His body was bent under this punch, and he was lifted up by the intruder. His whole body turned into a curved "A" shape in mid-air.
The sound of the wind gradually died down.
The other five guards stared in disbelief at this moment, either holding their throats or holding their chests, and fell to the ground one after another.
The leader's broken sword slipped feebly from his hand.
Just as the broken sword was about to fall to the ground, the intruder raised his right foot, kicked it up, and held it in his right hand.
Silence.
Only then did Thales notice that the intruder's right hand, which was supposed to be cleaved, was now intact.
Not even a drop of blood was shed.
Only the sleeve that was split in half told the story of the incredible scene just now.
Thales stared at the smooth and delicate right hand with wide eyes, feeling suddenly horrified.
"You..." The guard leader stared, his arms twitching in severe pain, and blood flowing from his mouth.
"I just said it," the intruder still raised his left fist high, holding the guard leader in the air, and said coldly: "Because there is not enough time."
The next second, the guard leader closed his eyes and lowered his arms that were no longer moving.
The intruder gently leaned over, slowly lowered the leader's body, and then placed the broken sword on the body.
He straightened up, took off the wig and the disguise on his face, revealing his original brown hair, and said coldly to the corpse: "So there is no time to disguise my eyes."
The harsh sound of the wind had completely subsided.
Silence returned to the cell, as if nothing happened just now.
Except for the slowly expanding pool of blood on the ground and the six additional corpses that had just appeared.
Thales looked at the guards lying dead around him in shock, his heart pounding.
This is……
Cohen and Miranda looked at each other in surprise.
"Impossible..." This was Cohen who was almost sluggish, shaking his head desperately.
Huaiya's jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.
The intruder who killed six people in a row with incredible means turned around slightly and walked towards Thales.
His eyes were cold.
Thales subconsciously shrank back, protecting his trembling little slippery head behind him - he would not forget the order the stranger had just brought.
Looking at the prince's expression, the young intruder narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was looking carefully.
The prince tried his best to adjust his breathing and saw the face of the intruder clearly in his nervousness.
The stranger was very young, only in his twenties, but had a handsome face with unique contours.
Make people unforgettable at first sight.
He looks familiar...who is he?
Thales' question was quickly answered.
"Dear Your Highness Thales, this is our first meeting."
The terrifying intruder knelt down on one knee in front of Thales through the fence. With a subtle expression that was half a smile but not a smile, he put his right fist against his heart, bowed and said:
"Raphael Lindbergh."
Thales stared at this man blankly, unable to react.
Although the other party's actions were respectful, Thales could not feel even a hint of respect from his tone.
The intruder slowly raised his head and blocked the six corpses behind him.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a pair of rare and strange dark red eyes:
