The last dawn that impressed him deeply was six years ago in Longxiao City, the moment when the disaster disappeared and the giant dragon soared into the sky.
But when the night came to an end and dawn came in the east, what he saw was not hope, but an abyss.
At that time, he was just like now, experiencing disasters that ordinary people could not imagine, holding on to his body with very little supplies and rest, and facing almost unsolvable problems.
In the tense atmosphere, facing dozens of mercenaries who were eyeing him eagerly, Thales clenched his fists.
Little Barney, who could only use one arm, tightly wrapped the chain around his left shoulder, leaned his body, and tried his best to tie Ricky.
"It's a wonderful... counterattack... so... now... what... should..."
Barney almost bit out these words between his teeth, which shows that he is in a difficult situation.
The other three people who controlled Ricky were not much better. They were newly released prisoners, and with the continuous battles, the supplies were far outstripped by consumption. At this moment, they were all panting and grinning.
what to do?
Thales took a deep breath and tried to get rid of the dizziness that seemed to be flooding his brain again.
When they were captured by the Sword of Disaster, Yoder, who was lurking in secret, could only hastily inform Thales of his rescue plan. Ricky guarded Thales extremely closely.
And that hasty plan ends here.
But what happens next...
Thales looked at the Blade Fang camp in the distance and tried his best to think of a way out.
Sak'el still held the sword with one arm, standing in front of the mercenaries who surrounded him in a semicircle, facing the gnashing teeth and angry eyes of the enemies.
Yuan Ting stands tall, his expression is peaceful.
"This is unwise, Your Highness, Sak'el, please know that we have no ill intentions." Samir, who was standing in the front row of the mercenaries, tried to control the Swords of Disaster from going out of control while trying to persuade Thales.
"You'd better listen to him." This was Ricky who was tightly bound by chains, gnashing his teeth in the dust on his face, and closing his eyes tightly.
what to do……
Thales closed his eyes.
Camp, prison, Sword of Disaster, Shield of Shadow...
Let me think, let me think.
Come up with a solution!
However, at this moment, the fast rope standing beside him screamed without warning:
"I'm in trouble!"
Thales opened his eyes and turned his head along with all the impatient people to see what trouble he was making again.
Unexpectedly, the fast rope didn't seem to be the one causing trouble this time.
I saw Kuaisheng looking at his empty hands in shock, constantly raising his head and lowering his head:
"This is so haunted..."
But before he finished speaking, another figure appeared in the ink ripples, holding the black time crossbow in his hand.
It's Yodel.
For some reason, the moment he saw him, Thales felt a sense of security in his heart.
Just like many years ago.
Kuaisheng's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and it was difficult to recover for a long time.
In front of everyone's eyes, Yodel skillfully bent over, stepped on the pedals, and wound up the strings, doing it in one go for a few seconds.
He pulled out a small arrow with a special style from his waist and mounted it on the crossbow slot.
"Fuck! What the hell do you want to do?" Josh, one of the mercenaries, cursed and then thought thoughtfully.
Kuai Sheng came to his senses, stretched out his hand and shouted:
"Wait a minute, the accuracy of this thing is questionable."
But Yodel didn't pay any attention to their intentions.
I saw the masked guard raising his black arm crossbow, facing the direction of the camp, and pulling the trigger toward the sky.
"call out!"
A sharp and sharp sound!
Regardless of the mercenaries or the royal guards, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"call out"
The sound of the crossbow arrows was sharp and high-pitched, and those who heard it were moved.
It radiates from the sky, lasts forever, spreads all over the country, and can be clearly heard for miles around.
Of course this includes the Blade Tooth Camp.
Yoder threw the fired arm crossbow back to the fast rope, ignoring the shocked latter's muttering of "Why can't I do it?"
"call out"
The sound of the crossbow arrows began to weaken, but Thales's ears twitched!
He has heard this sound before.
This is……
"Is this the signal crossbow of the White Blade Guards of Longxiao City?" In the surprised eyes of the guards prisoners, the prince looked at Yodel with surprise and joy.
The masked guard nodded silently.
Thales opened his eyes wide:
"But what are you doing?"
Yodel bent down and nodded, and his figure began to blur again:
"Meteor."
"You haven't finished looking through his luggage."
The figure of the masked guard completely disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a faint sentence in the air
"So I... didn't waste it."
Not wasted?
Thales raised his eyebrows.
He imagined the desolate sight of Nikolai the Fallen Star waking up and finding himself lying naked on the wasteland, with everything from horses to luggage looted, leaving him penniless.
Thales put away his boring thoughts and felt relieved:
Great, now all they have to do is stall and wait for rescue...
"Oh no, I recognize you," Taldin, who was holding on to the chain, widened his eyes, looked at the place where the masked figure disappeared, and hissed:
"You were the little kid in Fuxing Palace back then..."
But Sak'el, who had been paying attention to the enemy's situation, suddenly spoke up and interrupted him:
"Taldin! Focus!"
"No time for this!"
The punishment knight's severe rebuke drew everyone's attention back to the enemy.
"I've had enough, and you reminded me," Josh, who was in the front row among the mercenaries, stepped over Samuel and stared at the punishment knight who looked like a chasm, with an angry expression:
"Now that we're outside..."
"Change into a crossbow!"
The dozen mercenaries in the back row did not hesitate. They were so angry that they immediately retracted their melee weapons and pulled out crossbows or short bows from their backs or waists.
What?
Thales' expression froze.
Sak'el frowned slightly.
Crossbow.
So good, yet another thing he hates so much.
"Win as many as you can, wind them all!"
Josh's face was ferocious, and his sword was pointed at Sak'el, who was also frowning:
"Covering shot! I don't believe I can't kill this son of a bitch Brand Warrior!"
Thales looked at it with an ugly expression as a dozen crossbows of different sizes and several ferocious bows and arrows were taken out by the mercenaries. The crossbowmen stepped on their pedals and bent down to use pull rods or hooks to wind the string.
Then the arrow will be drawn out more quickly, and the arrow will be cocked.
Before his eyes appeared the scene of countless crossbow arrows flying towards him and Little Slippery in the dragon's blood night.
"No!"
However, beside Josh, Samir angrily pressed down the bow that was being cocked next to him:
"Ricky wants them alive!"
"Especially that prince!"
The mercenaries paused, hesitating between the two leaders' disagreements.
But before they could react, Josh turned back and grabbed Samir's collar and said angrily:
"It's 'you' who want them alive!"
"Because you can't forget that damn brotherhood! You royal guard!"
"And I don't care about that, I care more about ourselves!"
Samir seemed to be startled by Josh's sudden outburst. He was stunned for a moment, looking awkwardly at his surviving former colleagues, and then at the furious mercenaries.
"Keep winding!"
Josh pushed Samuel away, gritted his teeth and ordered, turning back to Sak'el:
"Listen up, Brand Warrior, if you want to become a target, then continue to resist!"
"Ricky can't die anyway."
The actions of the mercenaries moved all the guards!
Cannon subconsciously protected Thales behind him, looked around like a frightened bird, and hid behind Thales without any guidance.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"Oops, I can't wait for rescue..."
Seeing that the situation was not right, little Barney gritted his teeth and persisted, making up his mind and saying to the others:
"Brie, you and Belletti will let go in a moment, cover Sak'el, and take down the leader at any cost..."
However.
"No."
The sudden interruption choked Barney, who was making plans.
"What?" The pioneer officer turned to the person who interrupted him, with a dissatisfied look on his face.
I saw the punishment knight standing in front of everyone, facing the countless crossbows that were about to be assembled, and shook his head:
"We retreated to the dungeon and looked for cover."
Sak'el's expression was calm, and he pursed his lips towards Ricky who closed his eyes:
"But before that, chop off this monster's head and kick it as far as you can."
"Wait for me to count the seconds, three..."
But.
"Hey!"
Little Barney, who was struggling to restrain Ricky, was already irritable. After being interrupted by the robbery, his expression changed several times and he said angrily:
"I am the Chief Vanguard Officer!"
Thales, who was in a hurry, raised his eyebrows.
"But...he is a watchman," on the other side, Taldin pulled the chain with all his strength, shaking his head in pain and saying:
"A little...higher in the chain of command?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent
Barney's expression was slightly stiff.
"No."
Sak'el slowly turned back, extremely calm, as if he didn't care:
"The heritage watchman is second only to the guard captain, and is equal to the deputy guard captain in non-wartime status."
"High...a lot."
high.
a lot of.
Barney took a deep breath.
As if he was constipated, he turned his head back to its original position in pain, baring his teeth and making a rude mouth gesture.
There was a look of regret on his face: "Why didn't I just kill this bastard with a sword?"
Everyone in the guard turned their heads and tried not to look at the vanguard officer's face.
But at this moment...
"Um, everyone?"
Belletti, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He looked at Ricky who was trapped in the center of the chain, with unconcealable horror in his tone:
"This guy's strength..."
Everyone was shocked and turned their heads.
"……has a problem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chain on Belletti's hand trembled!
And as if he was out of control, he slid several inches toward Ricky in the sand!
Not only Belletti, but Barney Jr., Bree, and Tardin, the three people who controlled the chains, also started sliding at the same time!
Thales stared at the trapped Ricky:
At some point, he had already freed his left and right hands from the chain, holding the chain full of barbs behind his back, and slowly retracted it.
What?
The chain began to tremble violently.
"No, no, no," little Barney looked at his trajectory in the sand in disbelief:
"There are four of us, what's going on..."
At this moment, a heart-stopping voice seemed to sound out of thin air, lingering in everyone's ears:
"You think you've trapped me."
rough.
sharp.
Dry and dumb.
It was like the roughest friction sound, resounding in the bottom of my heart.
Sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Everyone present, whether they were the royal guards or the Sword of Disaster, all trembled!
But that terrifying voice that sounded from the bottom of their hearts and surrounded them from all directions did not let them go:
"But you didn't..."
The faces of the four people holding the chains twitched, their breathing was disordered, and the extent of being dragged increased instantly.
Many mercenaries dropped their arrows by mistake, or stretched their half-stretched crossbow strings.
Some people even covered their heads in pain.
Sak'el closed his eyes suddenly, knelt on one knee, gasped for breath, and relied on "eternal truth" to support his body.
"You didn't..."
The voice kept coming and going.
Thales couldn't help but tremble all over, and subconsciously turned around to catch Cannon, who was swaying!
But Kuai Rope was even more unbearable. He even screamed and knelt down in pain and covered his ears.
"No……"
Thales tried his best to stabilize his body, which seemed to be losing balance, and looked at Ricky who made this voice in horror.
What's this?
The moment he heard this voice, his heart beat faster and his blood surged.
I could only feel the cold wind blowing around me, and my whole body was filled with unstoppable goosebumps.
It was as if someone had brought out an endless nightmare.
The next second, Ricky in the center of the chain shook his arms, and the guards on both sides couldn't bear it anymore, and the chains came out of their hands!
"boom!"
A harsh explosion!
While many people closed their eyes in pain, Thales, who tried his best to open his eyes, was surprised to see:
The chain shattered inch by inch and fell weakly to Ricky's feet.
Exposing the bloody marks on his body caused by barbs.
No.
No!
But that's not the scariest thing.
Ricky gently wiped the dust off his face and gave Thales a disturbing smile.
Thales tensed up, feeling that the glare under the yellow light seemed to have some kind of power.
After escaping from trouble, the other party seemed a little... different?
momentum?
Body posture?
still……
What else?
"As I said, don't think you are smarter than the devil, and don't think you are more powerful than the devil."
Ricky's voice was still terrifying, and in the dim light of dawn, his pupils glowed with a rare and ominous yellow light, looking straight at Thales.
Thales was startled and woke up.
Oops.
His first goal after getting out of trouble is...
The next second, Ricky moved and rushed towards Thales!
The sudden change only lasted two or three seconds. Sak'el reacted the fastest. He roared, stood up from the sand unsteadily, and rushed towards Ricky:
"Stop him!"
The four members of the royal guard who were freed from their chains, second only to Sak'el, gritted their teeth and struggled to block the charging Ricky one after another.
On the other side, Clay, who had just recovered from dizziness, pushed aside the staggering crowd, pushed aside Josh and Samir who were covering their ears in pain in the front row, and shouted an order angrily:
"Do it!"
The mercenaries roared in response, stood up with the help of the power of termination, drew their swords and attacked!
The once balanced situation became chaotic again!
The next second Ricky started, Thales turned around and ran subconsciously, without caring about anything else, toward the exit of the dungeon!
But after all, he overestimated his body.
After eating and resting just now, it was okay to pace slowly, but now the more he ran, the softer his feet became and the darker his vision became.
But in the center of the chaos, Ricky paused, turned around, and hit Belletti who was intercepting him from the side!
"Boom!"
The executioner, who only had time to protect his head and face, groaned, fell backwards under the terrifying force, and fell into the soft sand.
At this moment, Barney Jr., Tardin, and Bree, who were closest, had already caught up with Ricky!
Bree roared and rushed forward with both arms, preparing for a head-on attack. Barney Jr.'s left elbow hit Ricky's waist, and Tardin kicked the opponent's knee. The three of them prepared to suppress the enemy in a tacit understanding.
But at that moment, Ricky's body surged with endless power of termination, like an endless abyss, allowing him to calmly turn around and face the three of them.
The three people who collided with the enemy's body suddenly felt that their offensive power disappeared without a trace, as if they had touched an endless ball of cotton, or... an endless abyss.
But Ricky just trembled slightly.
"Do you think I'm just a target that won't die?"
The terrifying voice came again, making the three people who were resisting Ricky tremble!
"bad"
Little Barney only had time to spit out half a word.
The next moment, Barney Jr., Tardin, and Bree were like kites with broken strings, either rolling or flying out in a straight line, blowing up a cloud of dust on the sand like splashing waves.
At this moment, Ricky seemed to be a different person.
His eyes became more violent and fierce, and his movements became sharper and faster.
More...crazy.
Ricky snorted softly, turned around and stepped forward, but Sak'el's sword edge had already come towards him, following him like a shadow!
Ricky wanted to dodge, but frowned and realized that Sak'el seemed to be at the most perfect angle, and he couldn't dodge at all.
So he smiled slightly.
"laugh!"
Steel breaks bones.
But Sak'el was stunned.
The edge of his sword cut into Ricky's cheek from the side and even cut half of the opponent's lip, but it stopped in the opponent's mouth.
"You said... you want to cut off my head?"
And with half of his cheek cut open and bleeding, the horrified Ricky tightly bit the sword edge in his mouth, which literally means "in his mouth", and showed a weird smile.
"Beautiful skills..."
His teeth and lips clearly didn't move, but that terrifying voice sounded out of nowhere, making Sak'el's body tense up and shudder:
"Stupid...idea."
Ricky stretched out his hand to hold the sword blade on the side of his face, and pulled it out!
Sak'el immediately let go of the hilt of the sword, thus avoiding being pulled up by the opponent's huge force.
In this moment, there were already sounds of killing all around!
The mercenaries surrounded them, and Barney and others, who struggled to get up, had no choice but to fight the enemy immediately.
"Give up, before there are more casualties!" Samir approached Little Barney and persuaded through gritted teeth.
"Fuck you!" Little Barney scolded and threw out a length of chain he grabbed from the ground.
After finally reaching the exit of the dungeon, Thales' feet went weak and he had to be supported by a quick rope to stabilize himself.
"Go help them," Thales said firmly to the hesitant Cannon while testing the lifeless Hell River Sin and the almost taboo magic power:
"Delay for time."
"go!"
Cannon's hesitation lasted only a moment before he shook his head decisively:
"No!"
"You are more important!"
Thales, who was so angry that he was weak, could only grit his teeth and gasp.
On the other side, Ricky took back his silver-edged sword, and before his half-cut face could recover, he charged at the defenseless Sak'el!
Sak'el dodged a sword and frowned:
He found to his surprise that the opponent's power seemed to be boundless, and his movements were coherent and fast, without any hesitation.
However, the moves are fierce, the momentum is amazing, and the pressure is full.
The Punishment Knight, who had lost the opportunity and was in bad condition, was in dire straits. He was in danger several times, but he was surprisingly able to avoid it every time at the most dangerous moment.
After one strike forced Sak'el to roll over in confusion, Ricky suddenly stopped and turned around with a sword!
"clang!"
He blew a streak of fire into the air.
During the clash of metals, Ricky stretched out his right arm and stabbed a figure in the ripples of the air!
Thales was shocked!
"You forgot something, the mask."
Ricky turned to look at Yoder who was gradually emerging, and the terrifying voice sounded again:
"The night is over and morning is dawning in the desert."
"And when you attack, I can see your footprints."
The masked guard trembled. He grabbed the sword blade stuck in his left shoulder and tried hard to prevent "Eternal Truth" from taking any further steps.
The next second, Yoder seemed to give up and continue struggling. Instead, he raised his head, shook his right hand, and the gray dagger shot out!
But Ricky just turned his head slightly and dodged the blow.
"You're off track."
Ricky sneered as he looked at the masked assassin who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, already trembling under the weight of his terrifying finishing power.
But it wasn't Yodel who answered him.
Instead, it was a gray dagger that penetrated the back of his neck and stabbed out of his mouth!
"He's not biased."
Sak'el, who appeared behind Ricky at some point, said coldly.
Ricky trembled, feeling that his cervical vertebrae were severed and the sensation below the neck disappeared.
He let go of the sword involuntarily.
"No……"
Ricky stared in disbelief. His mouth was obviously damaged, but the terrifying voice still sounded out of thin air, making Sak'el tremble unconsciously:
"how do you……"
Sak'el gave him a hard squeeze to stop his next words:
"Do you know what this legendary anti-magic weapon has the ability to do?"
The punishment knight shook his head in disgust and pushed Ricky's body away.
Sure enough... the legendary anti-demon force?
Ricky fell weakly.
He watched helplessly as Sak'el pulled up Yoder, patted the latter's shoulder, picked up the "Eternal Truth", and turned to him again.
Sak'el raised his sword coldly:
"I won't tell you."
However, the next moment, Ricky on the ground roared!
The howling sound is terrible!
Shocking!
Everyone who was fighting in the field trembled together. They couldn't control themselves and fell to their knees subconsciously!
Thales used all his strength to hold on to the iron plate at the dungeon exit, while Cannon and Quick Rope beside him had fallen to their knees in agony.
What exactly is this
On the other side, Ricky struggled to get up faster than before, blocking Sak'el's trembling sword with his arms!
It was as if he no longer had to spend time regenerating and recovering.
Sak'el and Yoder looked at each other, shocked as the yellow light in Ricky's pupils became more and more obvious, while the wounds all over his body revealed charred and strange muscles.
"Then you should never say anything again."
Ricky looked at Sak'el and Yoder in front of him, and for the first time, his eyes showed a determined murderous intention.
At that moment, Sak'el's skin and blood burst out with an instinctive tremor in the face of danger!
In the distance, Thales saw with dismay:
Ricky raised his arms, and Sak'el and Yodel both flew out!
Sak'el fell to the ground, coughing up blood in pain.
The bloody and horrified Ricky walked towards Yodel.
"You are great. The person in the mask killed me twice, and I still had no power to fight back..."
"My name is Jasmine Lorraine."
Ricky lifted the masked guard off the ground and covered the dark purple mask with his right hand!
"Then let's see what's under your mask..."
"no no!"
Sak'el, who was lying aside, stretched out his hand in pain and horror:
"You can't do that mask!"
Ricky smiled ferociously, clasping the edge of the dark purple mask, and unlimited strength surged from his palms.
For more than ten years, Thales had never heard Yodel cry out in pain or scream.
The masked guard is taciturn, and even if he is injured in battle, he will only let out a muffled groan.
Until this moment.
"Ahhhhh"
Yoder roared in heartbreaking pain!
Under Ricky's extremely happy grin and endless strength, Yoder struggled harder and harder!
His limbs trembled as if uncontrollably, as if they were undergoing the most horrific torture.
"No!"
Seeing this scene, Thales almost broke his teeth!
He instinctively grabbed the time crossbow from Quick Rope's hand:
"Give me the crossbow!"
Quick Rope was surprised:
"But it, that accuracy"
At this moment.
"call out!"
A shrill, sharp sound.
Like the morning light breaking through the darkness.
What followed was an even more harsh explosion:
"Snapped!"
The mercenaries and royal guards all paused and raised their heads.
I saw a bunch of dazzling sparks flashing in the sky under the slightly glowing sky.
The flash caused figures to wander around in the chaotic sand.
It wasn't just the fire that broke through the chaos.
