The seemingly even match between Sakel and Little Barney only lasted a few minutes.
The moment Naki finished speaking, Sak'el's body pressed down on him.
Ding!
With a sharp and piercing sound, his sword blade was stuck at a strange angle by Sak'el's axe.
Little Barney's pupils shrank.
"You're fighting like a Yankee," Sak'el crossed his left arm diagonally upwards and accurately grasped the opponent's shield:
"The idea is still that of the Star People."
Little Barney gritted his teeth to withstand the opponent's strength, and the two faced each other in a stalemate, trembling slightly.
"Be aware that the Yankees have nothing but other things in mind..."
In the struggle for strength, Sak'el leaned towards Barney, who was very close to him, and shook his head expressionlessly:
"Never hesitate."
Amid everyone's exclamations, Sak'el suddenly let go of the ax handle and allowed Little Barney's sword blade to scratch his shoulder, drawing blood!
The next moment, little Barney, who had not had time to celebrate the victory, felt his feet weaken. He couldn't dodge, but Sak'el took advantage of the situation, blocked his waist and abdomen, and lifted him up!
Damn it!
Little Barney was so frightened and angry that he just had this idea before he was thrown heavily to the ground by Sak'el.
Boom!
Under the severe pain, the dizzy little Barney knew that the situation was over. He reluctantly shouted:
"Nye, Tardin!"
At this moment, two harsh wind sounds approached from behind Sak'el's head!
In the flash of lightning, Sak'el hurriedly dodged, barely avoiding the two life-saving darts shot from Nai's hand.
When he turned back, what greeted him was Tardin's merciless blade and blade!
The trajectory of Tardin's sword was extremely strange, and Sak'el, who was left empty-handed for a moment, had to take a few steps back and pick up the warhammer left by a mercenary.
Little Barney took the opportunity to stumble up and rolled out of the war zone in embarrassment, but was supported by Belletti.
"How is it?" Belletti asked calmly.
"His skills are not as sharp as they used to be, and so is his physical fitness," Little Barney gasped softly, looking at Taldin who took over his place to face Sakel, "and there is a lot of new wounds on his back. This
It made his movements a little sluggish."
The prisoners of the royal guard gathered around, found weapons for little Barney again, and listened intently to the exchange between the pioneer officer and the punishment officer.
"Very good, so we have a chance?"
Samir touched his sword and asked with narrowed eyes.
Thales looked at their brief exchange and suddenly realized that it was like a small military meeting in a war.
Little Barney glanced at his colleagues and remained silent.
A few seconds later, he shook his head in front of everyone's disappointed eyes: "I don't think so."
"His instincts and consciousness are still clear."
"You can always turn your weaknesses into strengths."
Little Barney took the sword and shield handed over by Bree and coughed hard: "I even suspected that he just deliberately let me find the injury on his back and tempted me to attack the side. Then you all saw it. If I didn't Attacking that sword may not happen so soon..."
Everyone was stunned.
On the other side, Sak'el and Tardin's movements were getting faster and faster. The latter's offensive was strange and urgent, and the sound of weapons clashing was like the continuous ringing of wind chimes.
"Then what should we do?" Belletti's expression remained unchanged, like a motionless hill.
Little Barney watched Tardin's movements closely.
"Tardin's actions are very sneaky. He can delay time, but..."
He didn't speak anymore, but Thales could feel that the mood of everyone in the guard had dropped.
Little Barney shook his head and stood up, his eyes becoming sharp:
"I will replace him later. There will be no temptation this time. I will kill him at any cost."
No matter the cost...
As soon as these words came out, Belletti and others' faces darkened, and Samir also frowned.
"Barney..." Naki looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.
But little Barney had a determined expression and didn't give anyone a chance to refute.
"More importantly, I will force him to give up the passage, and you will take the opportunity to take His Royal Highness and run upwards," he turned to Thales, making the young man's heart tighten:
"Until you escape from the prison of bones and escape to the surface."
Everyone suddenly had different expressions:
Samir frowned and crossed his arms, Belletti was silent, Brie blushed and stammered, and Naki and Cannon looked at each other, feeling depressed.
Looking at their appearance, Thales had a bad premonition.
"Very good, let's run away." Samir shook his head sarcastically.
These words were inaudible in the fierce battle between Sak'el and Tardin, but in the ears of everyone, they were as heavy as a thousand words.
Little Barney ignored Samir's taunt.
He was silent for a while and then spoke again:
"If Nai and I don't succeed, and he catches up with you again..."
He calmly glanced at everyone and said slowly:
"The next top order is Samir, Cannon, then Brie, Naki, and finally Belletti..."
Hearing this, Thales' heart sank.
Put it on top...
They are going to...
"Each opponent's fighting style is different, and there is a big difference between successions. It will take time for Sak'el to adapt, and it will take even longer..."
Samir snorted coldly:
"how long?"
Little Barney turned around suddenly:
"As long as you can!"
He cut off Semir coldly: "Do you understand, second flag officer? Or are you not satisfied with being the first?"
Samir hummed softly and said nothing.
Thales noticed that Barney Jr. no longer called Samir "coward".
The young man looked at these people with branded faces, dirty and dirty faces, and couldn't help but say:
"Actually, we can also be of some help..."
But Barney Jr. rejected him unceremoniously.
"No, you must escape, Your Highness," Little Barney put his hand on Thales's shoulder, with a slight emotion in his eyes, "Escape to Blade Tooth Camp and use your identity to find the army."
Thales frowned.
Little Barney turned solemnly to Sak'el who was fighting fiercely:
"Let them use the iron hooves of the cavalry and the magic gun to seek justice and clear up their grievances."
The people in the guard were breathing rapidly,
Naji opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Thales couldn't bear it any longer. He threw away the hand that was pulling him back on the fast rope and took a step forward:
"Are you really planning to die here?"
Little Barney paused lightly.
"die?"
"of course not."
He turned around, glanced at the dim scene of the Bone Cage, and let out a long breath with a complex expression:
"Today, we are considered to be 'alive' here."
The tone was bleak.
Thales was stunned for a moment.
After hearing this, the guards who were still a little flustered seemed to be mute and fell silent at the same time.
"And I am honored to fight alongside you, guardsmen," Little Barney turned his back to them, holding the hilt of his sword against his heart, and sighed softly:
"May the inheritance last forever and the empire last forever."
There was silence.
Behind Little Barney, Belletti raised his fist expressionlessly and lightly hit his heart.
Except for Samuel, everyone in the guard raised their fists and also lightly hit their chests.
Looking at their appearance, Thales felt his chest tighten.
Before Thales, who was slightly disappointed, could adjust, in the next second, Barney exploded with speed and swept towards the battlefield!
"Tardin!"
He shouted loudly!
Tardin, who was gradually losing his temper, stepped back without hesitation when he heard this, and turned out of the battlefield in an unsightly posture.
Sak'el frowned, turned around, and faced Barney again without stopping.
"Come, let's put an end to this, Watchman!"
clang!
The weapons met each other, and Barney's expression was ferocious.
This time, his movements were obviously much more dangerous than before, he opened and closed without caring about himself at all!
This made Sacher couldn't help but shudder, and the sense of danger hit his heart again.
He knew that this time, his opponent was serious.
"From now on, I take over the command of the Pioneer Officer."
On the other side, as soon as Naki supported Tardin, who was sweating profusely and retreating, Belletti spoke decisively to everyone:
"Barney will create opportunities for us to break through. We will take advantage of the situation and rush to the stairs. We don't have to worry about anything and go up with all our strength. If Sak'el stops one of them..."
He glanced at everyone, and the answer was self-evident.
The guards glanced at Sak'el in the field and took action one after another.
Belletti grabbed Taylor's arm and pulled him forward.
He felt uncomfortable looking at Little Barney, who had almost given up on defense and was charging Sak'el crazily with a desperate determination, and Nai, who had been flitting beside him, holding the darts intently.
Is there...is there a better way?
But at this moment, another arm stretched out out of thin air and held down Belletti's shoulder!
Stop him and Thales from moving forward.
Thales couldn't help but be surprised, and others were also startled.
Belletti frowned and looked at the person who stopped him in confusion:
"Samuel, you-"
"If we do what little Barney does, we will all die." Samir said coldly.
He turned to Thales with a cold look in his eyes:
"Including him."
Samuel's warning look made Thales's heart tremble.
Belletti was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Barney, who was attacking like a madman, and then his anger showed:
"That is the best way, and it is the order of the pioneer officer..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was severely interrupted by Samir:
"We have to climb a full eighteen floors to reach the ground!"
I saw Samir pointing at Sak'el and saying categorically:
"And there are six of us left. Even if we die one by one, can we hold him off for even six minutes?"
Belletti was stunned.
"You and he have both served as executioners, Belletti. There are many special prisoners above who were escorted by you from the royal capital - he is familiar with the terrain here and will catch up to him sooner or later."
"That's not a good idea. Think about it rationally. We can't escape."
Samir looked at everyone seriously:
"We must find another way out."
Can't escape.
Belletti fell silent.
He knew that what the other party said was true.
Others also shuddered.
Find another way out.
Thales' heart moved.
Belletti was taciturn but strong-tempered. He looked at Samir's behavior with displeasure and was about to explode, but Thales suddenly spoke:
"You mean, you have an idea?"
Samir nodded and pointed to the stone steps:
"Go down to the bottom, I know a way, a mysterious exit... Sak'el doesn't know it, it may be our only chance of survival."
Thales's eyes lit up:
"You mean, another exit from the Bone Prison? Built by the mages of the Alchemy Tower?"
Tower of Alchemy.
Belletti frowned and looked at Tardin.
Samir turned to the other prisoners, his tone slightly impatient:
"Believe me, that is the escape route that we, the Swords of Disaster, originally prepared. Our leader does things carefully and prudently. If he says yes, then it must be true."
Belletti looked at him suspiciously:
"What about your leader... others?"
Sammy was stunned.
He looked at Thales with a complicated face:
"ask him."
Thales raised his eyebrows and subconsciously put the sword behind his back.
He forced a smile and changed the subject: "That... it should be true, Shadow Shield and them once fought over this matter."
"That exit, are you sure it works?"
Samir gasped, ignoring the displeased looks of everyone around him:
"Ricky has found the dark cell, hasn't he?"
"Even if it doesn't work, after being caught up, you will die on the way up the stairs or on the way down the stairs...Which one would you choose?"
Thales frowned and looked past the two fighting men to the stairs behind them.
up……
down……
In the battlefield, little Barney hit Sak'el's ribs with a desperate blow, but was hit by his knee. The two of them retreated with a groan at the same time.
"I know your plan," Sak'el glanced at the people in the distance and looked at the stone steps behind him:
"That won't work."
Opposite him, little Barney held up his shield tremblingly, feeling the numbness in his hands and feet.
Oops.
This battle was harder than he imagined.
Sak'el knew his determination, so he stayed in front of the stone steps, not giving them any chance, and prepared to use the safest and least labor-intensive method...
Polish him off.
"As long as I kill you," Barney said through gritted teeth:
"That will work."
Must... fight for the opportunity.
He pounces again!
On the other side, Belletti was silent for a while, but still shook his head:
"Barney is trying his best to fight for us. The path he chooses may have little hope, but I will not risk the prince's life with you..."
Samuel stepped forward, held down Belletti's shoulders, and gritted his teeth:
"Knowing that it is a fatal order, but still moving forward stubbornly, this is stupid!"
Belletti's eyes were burning and she pushed Samuel away!
"Punishment Officer Belletti," Seeing that the two were about to fight, Thales spoke:
"Maybe it's worth a try - he's right, we can't escape."
Belletti's expression changed:
"Your Highness!"
But Thales shook his head and tightened his grip on the sword.
"In the name of Bright Star, I just released you today."
"Rather than watching you die one by one," Thales looked into the distance with deep eyes:
"I'd rather take the risk."
His words shocked everyone present. Even Belletti, who was eager to refute, was speechless.
Kuaisheng let out a breath and shrugged:
"Ah, this is him."
The guards fell silent.
At this time, little Barney roared angrily and bumped into Sak'el, and the two rolled into a ball!
"No matter where we go, we must go,"
Tardin, who had been paying attention to the battle, grabbed the sword in his hand and felt something:
"Now is the time when Bani's offensive is at its strongest. Sak'el may not be able to take action to stop us."
Belletti stared, looked at Samuel, and then at Thales, seeming to be hesitating.
Naki interjected cautiously:
"I think what His Highness said makes sense."
"And... I hate climbing stairs, and I hate being chased up stairs even more."
Belletti's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Thales no longer paid attention to the hesitating guards, but turned to the two men in the battle, his face tense.
"If we were to go down, would it be possible to save Barney and Nye?"
Belletti pursed her lips and looked unbearable:
"Your Highness, but... they were originally prepared to sacrifice themselves here."
Thales clenched his fists.
Samir snorted coldly:
"Sarkel is not a hound that will run away if you throw a Frisbee."
He looked at the increasingly fierce battle and said coldly:
"Someone has to restrain him - before he tears us apart."
Contain him...
Thales looked at Sak'el and frowned fiercely.
"You just said that the key to the Chaos Army lies in transcending ordinary people's perception, observation and attention?"
Belletti sighed:
"Yes. But Your Highness, please think twice..."
However, the young man ignored him and turned to others, murmuring and repeating:
"Perception, observation..."
Thales suddenly raised his head and scanned the crowd:
"Is Sak'el invincible?"
"No one can defeat him? Defeat the Punishment Knight?"
The prisoners in the guard looked at each other.
Many people are obviously still struggling with the differences between Semel and Belletti between orders and risks.
"some."
At this moment, Naji said quietly:
"Sakel's battle to become famous has its sequel."
Follow-up?
Thales narrowed his eyes.
Naki shrugged: "It's still what Big Barney said..."
"When young Sak'el knocked down forty opponents and made all the people in the North turn pale, that uncle came."
Tereschi said:
"Uncle...what uncle?"
The prisoners in the guard looked at each other.
Naki raised his head and glanced at Sak'el, who was at loggerheads with Barney:
"That was Sak'el's only defeat in his life, the enemy he cared about the most, and the shame deep in his heart - he challenged the opponent twice in the following decades, but failed to win."
Taylor was immediately stunned.
The only failure?
Naji looked at Sak'el with a calm expression in the distance and sighed:
"Not only because of the defeat, but also because of the enemy's skills, bloodline, and identity—in short, everything about that uncle made Sak'el extremely concerned and ashamed."
The most concerned enemy.
Thales rolled his eyes.
"The most important thing is that before they fight, in front of everyone..."
Before Naji finished speaking, he said with a touch of sigh and pity like a minstrel:
"That legendary uncle said this to the young and energetic Sak'el..."
In a word...
Listening to Naki's words, Thales' pupils slowly narrowed.
A few seconds later, little Barney struggled to withstand Sak'el's counterattack and took a few steps back.
He had just succeeded in inflicting a sword wound on Sak'el, but he was unable to force his unmoving opponent from his position.
Damn it, if this continues, they won't be able to find a breakthrough...
At this moment.
"Caslan Rumba!"
A young man's voice sounded, high and sharp, floating in the dungeon.
"Remember him?"
Little Barney was stunned for a moment while he was thinking.
Hearing that name, Sak'el, who was confronting him, trembled all over!
A face that never faded appeared before his eyes.
The punishment knight glanced at Barney, who was panting, and turned back expressionlessly to look at Thales, who was standing in front of a group of guards.
Belletti's expression was extremely tense, and Samir was fully focused.
But this is nothing compared to what Thales said next.
Thales stared at Sak'el and said softly: "Kaslan died in the hands of his apprentice."
Sak'el's eyes slowly opened wide.
Kaslan.
Kaslan Rumba…
The punishment knight's heartbeat slowly accelerated.
"Dead...dead?" he asked, seemingly unconscious.
"Yes, Kaslan the Earthshaker is dead."
Thales took a deep breath and stepped forward slowly:
"But the person who defeated him - the undefeated and invincible strongest man in the Western Continent, Serui Nicolai, the 'Meteor Star' of the White Blade Guards..."
Sak'el stared at Thales quietly, his expression gradually becoming confused.
It's like going back in time.
Thales exhaled and suppressed his increasingly faster heartbeat:
"He has not forgotten you, his teacher's rival."
"While you were in jail, he asked someone to bring a message to the royal guards."
Thales stared at the confused Sak'el, gritted his teeth and said:
"A phrase you are familiar with."
As expected, he saw Sak'el's eyebrows slowly tightening.
One sentence...
Very familiar...
talk?
Thales took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.
Imagine the old man who invited him to drink in the pub six years ago, and imagine the latter's heroic and majestic appearance.
"Come on, little Southern brat."
Thales was seen calm and composed, Yuan Ting put his hands behind his back and said in a rough voice:
"I can give you... two hands."
At that moment, it was as if time stopped.
Sak'el stared at Thales stiffly, motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.
"No……"
He murmured tremblingly.
"No……"
Sak'el lowered his head and slowly lifted his chest. The veins in his neck popped out, and the muscles in his arms took shape inch by inch.
"No……"
Looking at the punishment knight who lowered his head and groaned, Thales swallowed subconsciously.
An unprecedented chill rose from the soles of my feet.
The sin of the Hell River roars uneasily in the veins.
Immediately afterwards, a heart-rending roar exploded in the dungeon!
"No!"
Before Thales could react, Sak'el, roaring ferociously, instantly burst into flames and rushed towards him like a landslide and tsunami!
"Kaslan——"
Amazing momentum!
Thales' scalp felt cold. The guards behind him were about to take action when two strong winds sounded from behind Sak'el.
But the punishment knight with eyes as red as a beast seemed to have eyes in his back, and the war hammer in his hand seemed to fly behind him unintentionally. Little Barney's deadly long sword deflected in response, and collided with Nai's darts shot from the other side!
Only a scar was left on his back.
At that moment, in his eyes, there was only the figure in front of him.
The same person who was holding his hands behind his back, holding his chest high, and mocking him with contempt just like he did many years ago.
“—Rumba!”
tread!
Sak'el's expression was ferocious and his momentum was irresistible!
At that moment, Thales felt the endless boiling of the sin of the Hell River, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.
The next second, he closed his eyes and turned around.
Turn your back to the Punishment Knight.
Little Barney, who was chasing behind Sak'el, panicked, and looked at Nai, who was also chasing after him desperately.
No.
No!
But before he could roar, something suddenly slipped from Thales' hand behind his back.
Snap.
That's a round ball.
It fell to the ground and bounced.
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the ball trembled slightly and buzzed between Thales and Sak'el.
Sak'el's sanity returned instantly, and then he frowned.
That is?
On the ground, the strange metal sphere bounced freely.
Like a child who is innocent and happy and unaware of danger.
I hate this - these were Sak'el's last thoughts.
The next moment, Thales felt an unparalleled impact coming from his back!
"call--"
Devour his whole body!
"boom!"
At that moment, an earth-shaking loud noise exploded from the ground!
And the strange alchemy ball exploded like a mountain, releasing terrifying energy and bursting into endless light!
Dazzling.
Dazzling.
gorgeous.
Completely swallowed up in this small dungeon...
Everyone.
