At this moment when everyone was in disbelief, little Barney smiled bitterly and looked at everyone as if he was relieved and resigned to his fate.
"What to do?"
"do nothing."
Little Barney's eyes slowly calmed down and became more ominous.
"My father, you, and you..."
Little Barney sneered and shook his head slowly.
"Samuel is right, everything we do is meaningless."
Samir lowered his head bitterly.
"Naki is right too, we already belong here and there is no way we can get out."
Naki snorted coldly.
"Even Sak'el was right... some things should never be mentioned..."
Sak'el's expression was complicated.
"In this prison, the only wrong person, the only stupid person... I have always been the only one."
Under everyone's horrified eyes, Little Barney sneered and said loudly:
"I should live forever and be buried underground!"
After saying this, his arms started to move!
Thales gasped.
However, before anyone could scream in surprise, a figure suddenly rushed forward and firmly grabbed Barney's sword-holding wrist!
"No……"
Under Thales's astonished gaze, the former deputy logistics officer, Nai, tightly grabbed Barney's arm between his chest and wrestled with him while trembling.
"No, Barney, no."
Nai pursed her lips, shook her head fiercely, and struggled to bite out the words between her teeth.
Little Barney pressed hard against Nai who refused to give in.
"Let go, Nai, I don't want to hurt you."
Belletti gritted her teeth and took the opportunity to quietly walk behind Barney.
"I am the logistics officer of the Guard, as you know," Nai seemed to want to be humorous, but his eyes were almost pleading:
"Non-combat attrition...is my responsibility."
This statement made many people react.
Little Barney was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
"Logistics officer..."
"Why, you don't even have the dignity I have left..."
The next second, Little Barney's expression changed and he shouted angrily:
"Are they all going to be taken away!"
In Thales's hell sense, he saw the power of termination surging in Barney's body. Nai immediately let go of his hand and was turned around and thrown out by his opponent!
Boom!
Amidst the loud noise, Nai Jie bumped into Belletti, who was about to seize the opportunity to steal the sword. He spat out a mouthful of blood and let out a painful groan.
But the moment Barney regained his grip on the sword, a third figure swooped over and held down his arm!
This time, little Barney looked at the person who stopped him in surprise.
"It's not that simple, Barney."
In front of little Barney, Naki sneered and grabbed the opponent's right arm at a clever angle:
"After so long of torture, do you want to escape like this? Like your coward father?"
Naji said bitterly:
"No way."
Little Barney frowned at first, then became angry: "You"
But Naki interrupted him.
"At least, not in front of me."
The next second, to everyone's surprise, Naki, with a cold smile, raised Barney's arm...
He faced the sword edge himself.
laugh!
A tearing sound.
That was the sound of steel tearing flesh apart that Thales had heard countless times.
"No!"
Thales was so jealous that he screamed out in surprise!
No.
It shouldn't be like this.
It shouldn’t be!
He was not the only one to have this reaction, most of the royal guards exclaimed.
Clang.
The sword fell to the ground.
thump.
With a long-lost, lazy smile, Naki slowly let go of Barney's arm.
Endless blood spurted out from his neck, reflecting the firelight, like lava in a volcano.
Little Barney, who was stunned in front of him, turned scarlet red.
It seemed as if all the grievances and resentments of the past eighteen years were about to explode.
"Naki!" Cannon, who was in the same cell as Naki, roared and rushed forward, grabbing the former's body.
Curry pounced immediately.
The two were panicked.
Cannon hugged Naki, who was bleeding from his neck. He tried in vain to hold down the horrific wound with his palms, and began to murmur in horror:
"Help me, help me, Curry! No, this is an artery... I can't stop the bleeding, I can't stop it..."
Looking at Naki on the ground, little Barney was stunned like an ice sculpture.
He immediately raised his bright red hands and wiped his cheeks, which were also covered in blood, with a look of disbelief on his face.
What's this?
what is this!
Little Barney trembled.
Naji showed a pale smile of success, as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, all he could do was gush of blood and make a gurgling sound.
In the end, he just slowly shook his head at the stunned Barney with the life that was about to disappear.
The sudden accident frightened everyone.
The frightened Quick Rope pulled Thales back:
"Damn it, is this your plan?"
"Turn them all into dangerous lunatics?"
Thales opened his eyes and stared at the field.
Staring at the blood slowly spreading on the ground.
He remembered the time in the abandoned house a long time ago.
The blood on Quaid's neck was the same, bright red, turbulent, and completely unrealistic.
Just like bright paint.
Sprinkled all over his head and face.
"Or, maybe they have gone crazy a long time ago, and you just dug out their madness... This..." Quick Rope looked at Naki, who wanted to die, in disbelief.
Thales trembled.
No.
This is not what I want.
but……
They want...
suicide?
Thales thought blankly.
No.
No!
At that moment, the terrifying bright red blood seemed to transcend the ground, rising up like a tidal wave and rushing toward him.
Swallow him.
In the dark dungeon, Samir, Tardin, and even Sak'el were shocked. They stood there blankly, not knowing how to react.
Until another frightened cry attracted their attention.
"Nai!"
"Nai, you, what's wrong with you!"
Belletti screamed in horror.
Everyone turned their attention.
I saw Nai, who had been overturned by Barney earlier, lying in Belletti's arms, coughing painfully.
His chest was full of bright red, and the color continued to deepen as he coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
"Ahem...it's not him," Nai Qiang smiled and shook his head:
"It's just that I was slightly injured with that group of mercenaries just now..."
Belletti hugged him tightly and watched miserably as the blood in Nai's mouth flowed deeper and deeper, and then became less and less.
"Don't worry, it's internal bleeding after a heavy blow..." Nai shook his head bitterly:
"There was a guy using a sledgehammer, and I couldn't dodge... At that time, I felt something was wrong..."
Tardin came forward in disbelief and knelt down beside Nay.
Thales' mind went blank, and he just stared blankly at the two lives that were about to disappear in front of him.
"No, Nai, Naki...why..." Little Barney looked at Naki who was in a pool of blood on the other side, and then looked at Nai.
He twisted his face, kept retreating, and his words were filled with tears:
"Why……"
But Nai smiled bitterly and coughed up a mouthful of blood again:
"You know, after all, we all..."
"It's not what it used to be."
Not what it used to be.
Once upon a time.
Little Barney groaned in pain, bent down, and held his head in his hands.
"Haha... now..." On the other side, Naki, who was constantly losing his vitality, tried his best to speak. With a lazy smile, he could only utter a few words vaguely:
"We...were even..."
Little Barney shivered and fell to his knees.
"No, no, you can't do this to me... you can't..."
Under the sad or horrified looks of all the guard members, Little Barney roared and grabbed the sword on the ground again!
"You can't!"
However, the next second, little Barney staggered!
He tried his best to stand still, trying to find the thing that had just affected his balance.
But little Barney didn't react. He just looked at his hands blankly: the sword disappeared inexplicably.
how……
Where is the sword?
Where is my tool for liberation?
Bang!
There was a dull sound of metal hitting.
The long sword landed strangely on the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
On the other side, Thales couldn't stop panting, and with a pale face, he withdrew his right hand from his body, and the severe pain spread again.
No.
no way.
no way!
His body went limp, and he was held tightly by the fast rope to prevent him from falling.
But at the next moment, before anyone could notice something was wrong, a figure that had not moved for a long time rushed forward!
Boom!
Loud explosion!
The attacking figure hit Barney with a right hook, hitting the side of Barney's face hard!
He followed up with a knee trip, tripping little Barney to the ground.
The figure suddenly knelt down, pressed his arms on Little Barney's shoulders, and pinned him to the ground!
"No, no..." the attacker hissed.
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, little Barney's pupils narrowed and he shouted angrily:
"Sarkel!"
Little Barney roared angrily and broke free from the restraint of his shoulders, raised his upper body desperately, grabbed the back of Sak'el's neck, and then gave him a fierce elbow strike!
But the punishment knight didn't dodge, he just raised his left arm and received this desperate elbow!
The crisp sound of bone cracking sounded from Sak'el's left arm.
The punishment knight trembled slightly.
The next second, Sak'el, who was pale in pain, took advantage of the situation and grabbed little Barney's right arm, using both hands hard!
Click!
There was another crisp sound, and little Barney lay on the ground again with his broken right arm, screaming in pain.
Little Barney held his disabled right arm, hissing in pain, unable to hold the sword anymore.
Sak'el held his left hand, which was also seriously injured, shook it, and sat back with a pale face.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning.
However, within just a few seconds, the battle was over.
Even Samir, who picked up the weapon immediately, could only stare blankly in front of him.
"Why?" Little Barney asked in agony as he hit the ground with the back of his head in severe pain:
"Why are you doing this to me!"
"Why!"
As Little Barney screamed in grief, Naji, who was dying, lay on the ground with his signature lazy smile. Naji, who kept coughing up blood, breathed painfully, trying to straighten out the blood in his lungs.
At this moment.
Snapped!
A crisp slap in the face.
Silencing little Barney's wails in his mouth.
It also attracted the attention of everyone who was frightened, in pain, sad, and overwhelmed.
Little Barney shook his teeth and raised his head like a dying patient.
"Eleven times..."
"don't want……"
It's Sak'el.
With scars all over his body, he lay down next to Barney, gritted his teeth, and revealed a few words from between his teeth:
"Eleven times..."
"No more..."
The words were trembling and the tone was sad.
Little Barney seemed to wake up a little, and he looked blankly at Sak'el, who was twitching.
"What...eleven times?"
Sak'el took in a breath with difficulty, exhaled it with even more difficulty, and then slowly raised his head.
Expose your face to the firelight.
Tick tock.
A tear slipped from his wrinkled eyes.
It seems silent but cannot be ignored.
I saw Sak'el kneeling on the ground, raising his empty hands, his face covered with tears,
"enough."
He said foolishly.
At that moment, Thales, who was on the verge of dying from the aftereffects of the magic energy, was stunned.
Sacher.
Punishment Knight.
strong.
Calm.
Perseverance.
Cold.
Unrivaled.
Unstoppable.
Never waver.
This was his impression of Sacher.
but now……
He had never seen Sakel like this.
Crying Punishment Knight.
Everyone fell silent and looked at their guard watchmen in disbelief.
"Eleven times."
Sak'el sobbed and murmured, like a child who had done something wrong, regretful and painful, and spoke twitchingly:
"In the 86th year of the end of the calendar, John I passed away on the road, and three subordinates fought for the throne, and there were years of internal fighting..."
His tear-filled eyes looked into space.
"From then on, the royal guards each had his own master, and his colleagues and comrades-in-arms fought against each other..."
Naki's breathing quickened uncontrollably, and Nai's coughing became quieter and quieter.
"No one knows that according to the records of the watchman, the Star Royal Guards for more than 600 years have experienced eleven divisions and internal strife..."
Sak'el once again closed his eyes in pain, and his hands raised in the air seemed to be holding huge boulders, but also seemed to be nothing, and he was shaking constantly.
"Royal Guard..."
"Eleven times..."
"Brothers can kill each other."
Thales' eyes froze.
"Please, that's enough..."
Sak'el turned his head and cried, like a collapsed patient, begging everyone in front of him:
"No more..."
"bleeding."
The dungeon is getting darker and darker, with only one torch left, which continues to burn for a short period of time.
Waiting for the darkness that will eventually come.
Samir looked at him blankly, Belletti looked at him in astonishment, Tardin looked at him sadly, and Curry looked at him sadly.
Little Barney looked at him with great contradiction.
Thales struggled to hold on to the fast rope and stood up with all his strength.
"Compared to my predecessors in the past, I am the worst, most cowardly, most incompetent, worst, and most miserable watchman in the history of the royal guard!"
Sak'el's confession continued, his tone filled with regret and self-blame that seemed to last a lifetime:
"I can't protect you, I can't lead you, I can't bless you, I can't even make my own choices, I can only watch everything happen, powerless, helpless..."
With tears in his eyes, he glanced at the injured teammates around him in a daze, and finally stayed in the void, looking at the non-existent people.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"I'm sorry, Captain."
"Sorry, everyone!"
The lonely and lonely punishment knight swayed slightly. He was already seriously injured and it seemed that he had exhausted all the strength to support his knees and slipped weakly to the ground.
"I can't do anything."
Sak'el's tearful eyes were fixed on Thales, as if looking at another person, sad and desperate:
