The only person in the royal guard who escaped from prison, Samir interjected coldly:
"If your goal is just to wake up the king, why not single-handedly lead the legendary anti-demon force to assassinate your so-called Queen of Disaster?"
At this moment, Samir is cold and decisive, and seems to be no longer the royal guard he once was.
Thales' heart moved.
He thought of what Gilbert had told him about the catastrophe of the Bright Star royal family in the Year of Blood, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Why use such extreme measures?"
Sak'el said nothing.
Samir continued to question:
"Moreover, why do you want to put the entire Bright Star royal family on your elimination list and will not stop until you kill them all?"
Sak'el's lips trembled.
The color drained from his face and he looked at Samuel blankly.
"Yes," Taldin joined the conversation with a pale face:
"You know, even the most innocent princess and grandson, the most lively and innocent Princess Constance, even them..."
He bit his lip and couldn't speak any more.
Sakel looked at Samir and Tardin for a long time.
Until he sighed:
"That was not my intention."
Looking at this scene, Thales felt complicated, but he immediately thought of another question.
"Whose intention was that?"
The prince's speech attracted the attention of others:
"You didn't tell the whole truth."
Thales raised his voice:
"Tell me, those people who cooperated with you to assassinate the king, those people who intended to subvert the Star Kingdom, who were they?"
the most important is……
"What on earth were those people, Disaster, and His Majesty Eddie plotting to cause such a catastrophe?" Thales asked through gritted teeth.
Thacker seemed stunned.
He was silent for a long time, and finally just shook his head and still didn't answer.
"besides."
Samir spoke again.
"If what you said is true, then why," the former flag-bearer stared at the former punishment knight:
"Why didn't you stand up and admit that you were a traitor?"
"Didn't you accomplish your goal? You are not afraid of responsibility, let alone death. You are even willing to take the blame for my escape... With your character, shouldn't you be as upright and candid as you are now to reveal the truth?
To be judged?"
Sak'el's lips pursed tighter and tighter, but the guards prisoners gradually noticed this suspicion, frowned and looked at him.
"Why did you hide it for eighteen years?"
Samir’s questions progressed step by step, containing unwillingness and resentment:
"Why did you suddenly come out now and tell us these things and tell us that you are the damn traitor?"
"Do you plan to live like this forever until you die if I don't step here and they don't let you out?"
Sacher did not move at all, but once again his face sank into the darkness where the firelight could not reach.
"Even," Samir gritted his teeth and raised his arms, startling Thales:
"Why is this prince your target!"
At this moment, Thales was shocked!
Oops.
Why is it a prince...
"What are you still hiding?"
Samir hissed:
"Is there any secret that you would rather take to the prison river than reveal it?"
Thales looked at Kuai Rope, who had been restlessly trying to escape, and felt bad.
Why……
Back to this topic again?
Including Barney Jr., everyone in the guard looked at Sak'el with suspicion, and many people turned their attention to Thales again.
Very bad.
Thales gritted his teeth secretly.
Sak'el didn't expose my secret before, maybe because he still felt guilty about the royal family and didn't want to tarnish the reputation of Bright Star...
But now...
Thales glanced at Sak'el anxiously, who seemed to be hesitating.
Now, he has revealed the truth about Eddie II's alliance with the magician.
He has... nothing to hide, right?
At this moment, Sak'el spoke silently.
"spiritualism."
The punishment knight is plain and simple.
This made others, especially Thales, startled.
spiritualism?
What's the meaning?
I saw Sak'el slowly taking a breath, with deep vigilance in his eyes.
"Whether it's the invasion of the Bone Prison today, or the appearance of His Highness, whether it's the Sword of Disaster, the Shield of Shadows, or even the Dragon Breaker."
"...None of them are coincidences."
Thales' heart moved.
Not a coincidence...
Sak'el suddenly raised his head and looked at Thales.
"That dagger of yours, Your Highness."
dagger?
Thales couldn't help but swallow.
What?
Bearing the doubtful looks of others, he resisted the desire to reach out and touch J.
The tone of the punishment knight was cold, and there seemed to be a chill in the words:
"I know that it is made of dark steel smelted underground by the dwarves, which is similar to the material of the Supreme Sword. However, it is mixed with special lime crystals for another purpose, which makes it particularly unique."
Before Thales could react, Sak'el's next sentence revealed the origin of J:
"That is the Assassin's Flower, the unique weapon of the Sariton family."
"It is the proof that every Sariton ends his training and begins his career as an assassin."
Everyone was shocked!
Even Quick Rope looked at Thales in horror.
As for the center of the topic, Thales himself only felt that his whole body was stiff and it was difficult to move.
he knows.
But……
Sak'el's eyes were full of alertness and fear, as if the mentally unstable prisoner who escaped from prison just now was just an illusion.
"The appearance of this dagger in your hand, Your Highness, as well as the coercive and tempting attitude of those Shadow Assassins just now, shows what it means."
"As a participant in the assassination that year, I don't know why they infiltrated into the Bright Star royal family again and got close to such a special person...you."
When he mentioned "special you", Sak'el paused again, startling Thales into a cold sweat.
"But that must be related to those years, the bad luck brought by those disasters, and their failed conspiracy."
The eyes of the prisoner guards flickered, moving back and forth between Thales and Sak'el.
This time, the punishment knight's face was full of vigilance, as if his eyes were full of enemies.
"I can feel that some people are not willing to give in."
"They refuse to let go of the tragedy of the past."
Sak'el's eyes were burning:
"They are still digging out the taboos of the past, looking for the legacy of the past, trying to make up for the catastrophe and disaster eighteen years ago..."
"spiritualism."
spiritualism?
Thales looked at Sak'el blankly.
No.
it's not like that……
He turned his head with difficulty.
This dagger, this dagger was given to me by Yara...
But when he thought of this, Thales' thoughts paused for a moment.
Wait a moment.
J and Assassin's Flower may have misunderstood, but Shadow Shield...
Thales couldn't help but think of what Drillzi said in my tavern.
[From the almost crazy assassination of royal family members eighteen years ago, to now doing everything possible to ensure the survival of the prince...]
[The changes in attitude before and after Teng can only explain one thing.]
【The existence of that prince must mean something.】
Sak'el ignored the prince's strange behavior and continued talking to himself, his words were as cold as ice:
"They must be stopped."
He stuck to the word "stop" with absolute certainty and no doubt:
"Before the tragedy of the past reappears, before the next mistake is made."
After Sak'el finished speaking, Thales felt a chill running down his spine.
Samir smiled.
"Evocation," Samir repeated, shaking his head as if with disdain:
"What a shameful reason."
"But you haven't answered my question yet..."
"enough!"
At this moment, little Barney seemed to have run out of patience, and he interrupted Samir without any scruples.
Samir glanced at Barney dissatisfiedly, but the latter ignored him.
"So, you are not going to surrender, but you are going to continue to attack the prince, right?" Little Barney looked directly at Sak'el in front of him.
Sacher was silent for a second.
He did not answer directly, but coldly repeated what he had just said:
"They must be stopped."
Hearing this, Barney's expression became colder and colder.
"very good."
The former vanguard officer took off the shield hanging on his back, raised his sword, pointed it at Sak'el, and said with murderous intent:
"Then you too must be stopped."
Little Barney put aside all hesitation and care, and said in a cold voice: "In the name of the royal guard, we must count the crimes and punish the betrayal severely."
"Justice in return."
Thales immediately felt that everyone's bodies and nerves were tense.
Belletti, Bree, Tardin, Cannon, Nye, Naki, and the prisoners of the royal guard slowly dispersed, regained their weapons, stood in formation, and revealed their murderous intentions.
But no longer targeting Thales and Quick Rope.
Instead, he pointed directly at the punishment knight in front of him.
Even Samir, who was standing on the other side, slowly drew out his sword.
It was as if they had returned to the wartime state, as if the scene where old friends had just met was just an illusion.
Thales subconsciously tightened his grip on Ricky's sword, while Quick Rope rolled his eyes and raised the crossbow in his hand.
"Are you ready to accept your trial?" Little Barney stared at Sak'el unceremoniously, the disgust and hatred in his eyes almost overflowing:
"traitor?"
The Punishment Knight silently endured their gazes.
"Of course," Sak'el sighed and slowly picked up his axe. As he spoke, the sadness on his face turned into an inch of determination:
"Every day, every hour, every second."
"I'm ready."
At this moment, it was as if someone had pulled the timeline back to just now, and the Punishment Knight and his former colleagues were once again hostile.
The quick rope tugged at Thales, indicating whether he wanted to run away now or when a fight broke out.
But Thales shook his head.
He felt that the solemnity and tension in the field did not come from the opposing sides.
But just one of them.
"Barney?"
Naji raised his weapon and stared at the former watchman in front. He swallowed in embarrassment and said cautiously, "He has one person and we have seven."
Barney frowned.
"No, eight."
Samir interjected lightly. He walked to Sak'el's flank with his sword in hand, his eyes flashing with anger:
"All debts must be settled today."
Sak'el glanced at Samir, unknown emotions flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing.
Little Barney also glanced at this coward who escaped from prison whom he disdained, pursed his lips, shook his head and said:
"Very good, eight."
As a result, the nine former members of the Royal Guards, nine people with bright star sin marks on their faces, nine people who had not seen each other in eighteen years...
Face each other in this moment and take up arms.
"One to eight, no," Naji sighed softly and said to himself:
"It's such a disparity."
The rest of the royal guards frowned.
Too disparate?
Thales thought about it and heard the heaviness in his words.
Sak'el glanced lightly and looked at everyone again, as if he was observing the battlefield.
"Yeah, I know."
He spoke softly, getting rid of all the undue emotions and becoming the calmest and most terrifying punishment knight again.
"I alone will beat eight of you."
Sak'el raised his fighting ax upside down and stepped forward.
Step, step, step.
"Indeed, this is for you..."
His momentum and pressure gradually accumulated with the number of steps, like a huge wave that seemed slow in the distance, but would eventually hit.
"It's more or less..."
I saw Sak'el raising his ax, facing the opponents who were waiting for him, with serious eyes:
"Not fair."
??Since I can remember, the demon king named Zhou Gengzhi Sword has shrouded the sky with his cruel rule. There is no hope and no sunshine.
? But the suffering readers are whispering rumors: A long time ago, the world was not like this. At that time, the sun could be seen in the sky and people's faces were full of hope.
? People believe that one day, the haze will dissipate, the devil will fail, and the long-lost hero will finally return.
