Kingdom’s Bloodline

When Sackel's ax hit Barney's shield, the reaction of the guard prisoners was beyond Thales' expectations.

I saw little Barney took the lead, the sword and shield in his hand blocked the angle of Sackel's attack without fancy, blocking the latter's attack on Belletti and Bree.

But other people...

"Stand back, Samir!"

In the wind of the fast-running ax and the light of the sword, the fiercely fighting little Barney withstood a slash from Sackel, pushed away the handle of the ax coming from the opponent, and roared at Semir who wanted to approach the battlefield road:

"I'm in the first round!"

"Nai, cover me!"

Under Barney's roar, Nayue came out to join the battle, but the rest of the royal guards not only did not rush forward, but also stayed away from the battlefield uncharacteristically: Naki and Bree couldn't help but force Thales to the left and lean against the wall superior.

As the only two people, Barney Jr. and Nai stood on the battlefield and faced Sackel's onslaught—to be exact, Barney Jr. was the only one who met Sackel's attack with agility and swiftness at times, and stormy at times. It looks a little clumsy.

Nai, who was supposed to support him, stood firmly in the distance, holding a small knife and a dart in his hand, watching the two people in the fierce battle carefully, motionless.

What?

Thales didn't understand.

call!

The calm Sackel suddenly swung his arms horizontally, taking advantage of his body position to squeeze Barney's shield away, and the ax blade scraped towards the latter's neck!

"clang!"

Little Barney groaned and turned around, colliding with Sackel.

The two hit it off, avoiding the opponent's next blow, but it seemed that Barney Jr. suffered more - a wound appeared on his right arm.

Watching their battle, the bewildered Thales finally gave up struggling, and asked the people around him anxiously:

"what happened?"

But before anyone could answer, Semir on the other side looked for an opportunity to squeeze over.

As soon as he entered the formation of his old colleagues, he pointed to Barney Jr. who was fighting fiercely, and asked angrily:

"What is he planning? To die?"

Swish!

It was another ax wind, which was resolved by Barney Jr.'s proper frontal attack, but he was immediately caught in a series of subsequent attacks by Sackel, and he seemed to be stretched left and right.

Faced with Semir's unceremonious interrogation, the others all looked a little unhappy.

But Belletti didn't care. He looked worriedly at the two people who were fighting fiercely on the field, paying attention to the entrance of the stairs blocked by Sackel, with a calm tone:

"Barney said that the first round is a test. We play by ear and strive to break through to the ladder."

Samir frowned, seemingly hesitant.

Amidst the fierce fighting, Thales could no longer bear the doubts in his heart. He glanced at the fast rope and asked decisively:

"Why don't you help him?"

Looking at the dangerous little Barney, the prince was very anxious:

"There are obviously eight of you..."

But before he could finish his question, he was interrupted by Belletti's hoarse and intermittent voice:

"I can't do it."

Thales was taken aback.

Can't do it?

He turned his head and glanced at the others, only to find that they had the same look on their faces: dignified and helpless.

Why?

On the other side, the duel between Sackel and Barney Jr. is becoming more and more intense. The two seem to be fighting for real, with ferocious faces and fierce movements, becoming more and more fierce:

Just as Sackel groaned and retracted an ax blow that almost broke the enemy's head, Barney Jr. pressed for his life and launched an equally sharp and risky attack.

The strong wind hits the face, and the steel screams.

"We can't help him..."

Naki sighed softly, staring at the battlefield between the two, and said slyly:

"Sakel is not an ordinary person, let alone a warrior in the ordinary sense."

Not ordinary people?

Thales and Quick Rope were both stunned.

Naki stroked the weapon in his hand, staring at the two people who were almost fighting to the death, with an indelible gloom hidden between his brows:

"His finishing power is called 'Army of Chaos',

It is a rare variant of 'Tianma Movement', the key lies in unparalleled perception. "

Listening to Naji talking about this, everyone in the royal guard was a little dazed.

The Pegasus movement... Thales is familiar.

Wait, he heard from Wyia—the real Wyah—that it was Miranda's finishing power.

Thinking of this, Thales became serious:

"Chaos army? Perception? How to say?"

This time, it was Belletti who answered him.

"attention."

Belletti's voice was hoarse and incoherent, as if it had been washed by wind and sand, but this did not prevent Thales from hearing the anxiety in his words and the hesitation in his eyes:

"A person's energy and attention are limited, and we cannot focus on two things at once. Even when we are fully focused, we can only pay attention to one or two focal points at the same time. If there are more, we will lose enough attention to the goal and forget about the past. Afterwards, it’s hard to look left and right.”

attention……

Thales chewed on this word.

On the other side, Barney Jr., who was underwhelmed, finally made a fairly successful counterattack: at the cost of being hit by the opponent's knee, he cut Sackel's shoulder, only a hair's breadth away from the latter's vital point .

Thales secretly thought it was a pity.

"But Thackel is different."

Belletti's words became more and more serious, and at the same time, with the pride of being honored, and the pain of betrayal with old friends:

"'Army of Chaos' takes the observation and rhythm emphasized by the Pegasus movement to the limit in another direction-Sakel can effectively allocate within a certain range without distracting his attention, and divide his mind into multiple tasks. , master all the variables in a battle, the upper limit is unknown."

Do you need more attention?

Thales looked at Sack El, who was proficient in swinging an axe, and then at Little Barney, who was struggling to attack, and asked in puzzlement:

"What's the meaning?"

Samir snorted coldly and interjected:

"It means that the penalty knight has countless pairs of eyes and can observe countless targets at the same time."

"He is no longer afraid of siege, he is no longer afraid of group battles, his attention when facing ten people is not much worse than when he is only staring at one person, and he will never lose sight of one because of beating the crowd with a few."

Semir clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes never left the battlefield for a moment, as if he was ready to strike at the next moment.

His words made the guard prisoners even more worried. Bree even snorted and pointed to Nai who was still holding the dart.

"No, Bree," Tardin shook his head, as if he understood the unknown voice of the other party:

"Until the moment of life-saving, Nai can't make a move."

We will never lose sight of others because we are outnumbered...

Thales comprehended this sentence carefully, and his face changed suddenly.

What's this?

Knights do not die alone? There is no flaw behind it?

He remembered the scene when Sackel faced five or more shadow assassins just now.

There was another muffled sound.

This time, it was Barney Jr.'s almost-suicidal collision that barely pushed back the worried Sackel.

The prince turned his head to watch the battlefield, and hurriedly asked:

"So, whether one-to-one or one-to-many, it doesn't make any difference to him?"

This time, Taldin was desolate and helpless, as if he could see through the world, the words sounded:

"It's worse than that."

Tardin shook his head, with emotion and bitterness:

"Sackel is a rare genius in the world, and he has exploited the advantages of the "Chaos Thousand Army" to the extreme: multitasking is not only reflected in dealing with the enemy."

"Regardless of the enemy's body, weapon, intention, action, or surrounding location, environment, situation, state, as large as the increase or decrease of strength during a duel, as small as the sand and stone obstacles under the feet, or even sudden accidents, the Everything is in Sackel's insight, and it goes one step further, perfectly transforming it into his strategy against the enemy."

Tardin's face was tense, and he stared at Sackel, who used the terrain, the length of the ax handle, and even the weight of the opponent's shield to force Barney into a panic again:

"The person who confronts him will always be at the greatest disadvantage: all the factors and variables on the battlefield are under the attention and observation of Sackel, and he is on his side. seamless."

"I can't usually see it, but people who have fought with him have a feeling: that guy has no flaws and is unstoppable."

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

Everything is being understood and turned into a strategy against the enemy...

All the factors and variables on the battlefield... are all under attention and observation, as if you are using your arms and fingers, and you are at your fingertips...

No flaws, unstoppable...

He couldn't help but tremble.

Six years ago, that bloody night reappeared in his memory.

After that, another person murmured:

[The kind of person who holds everything in his hands, takes the world into his heart, and has a panoramic view of the whole situation...only qualified to be called...]

[The real strong man. 】

Thales stared blankly at the duel, staring at Sakel, who was getting more and more courageous in the field, as if he understood something.

He saw it:

Barney Jr.'s offense seems sharp, but his ordinary offense is difficult to be effective, and Sackel can always easily resolve it with the least effort, the most concise and the most effective method.

Only those desperate attacks that exchange injuries for injuries and cost a lot can leave some traces on the penalty knight, but unfortunately, every time the ultimate move that is slightly effective, it looks like a slight difference, which makes people sigh.

But Thales understood that it was not as simple as a slight difference.

Tardin sighed:

"In this case, it's not just that the siege of multiple people no longer works on him..."

"On the contrary, the more enemies there are in the melee, the more complicated the variables, and the more chaotic the scene, the more Sakeel can find the position that suits him best, take advantage of the flaws and gaps that ordinary people can't imagine, seize the chance of surviving and winning and Chips..."

"The more you fight, the stronger you become."

The faces of the guards became more and more ugly.

Thales clenched his fist, and the fast rope beside him had an expression of disbelief.

"Therefore," Thales turned back in disbelief:

"In the midst of a melee, the penalty knight with fewer enemies and more opponents is better than Sackel in one-on-one..."

Naki nodded, and took up the conversation with unabated worry:

"...It will be countless times stronger."

"We rashly joined the battle, just to increase the bargaining chip for Sackel."

Thales was terrified when he heard that, and the fast rope beside him even opened its "o"-shaped mouth.

so……

So a pair of eights is more beneficial to Sackel?

Is it simply the human version of the blood magician?

"He pointed out my sword style," Samir said coldly from the side:

"So I know that when you face him, you are not only facing Sackel, but the entire battlefield named Sackel, which really belongs to him—"

"A Thousand Army of Chaos."

His words were powerful, yet heavy on the heart.

Thales frowned fiercely:

"Like a legion?"

Samir stared at him, silent for a second, then nodded:

"Like a legion."

In the distance, little Barney's figure flashed, roared, and bumped into Sackel's body in a duel style that was almost unreserved!

Boom!

The two fell to the ground at the same time, and jumped up at the same time, both panting.

In the next second, the two of them moved, and their weapons collided again!

The fast rope on one side couldn't bear it anymore:

"Is it too exaggerated?"

The rookie mercenary rubbed his face, stared at the big eyes of the pigeon eggs, and pointed at Sakel who was silently responding to the enemy:

"He can still defeat a hundred with one, can't he single out an army?"

Facing Kuai Rope's disbelieving words, the guard prisoners all stared at him with unkind faces.

This made Kuai Rope tremble involuntarily, thinking of the bond he had made with them, he took a step back embarrassingly.

Thales looked at the crowd and felt that they had something to say.

Sure enough, Naki bent the corner of his mouth:

"Do you know about Sackel's Battle of Fame?"

Battle of Fame.

The prisoners of the guard all stood in awe.

Kuaisheng blinked his eyelids, and immediately showed a vigilant, "I won't take the bait" look.

Naki looked at the punishment knight whose face remained unchanged during the fierce battle, with fascination in his eyes:

"When Sackel was young, he once went to Dragon Clouds City with His Royal Highness Midil—His Royal Highness was so eloquent that he offended the people of the Northland and used force to make things difficult for them."

midir...

Dragon Clouds City...

Relevant scenes emerged in Thales' mind.

"Big Barney told me: At that time, Sackel, who was only seventeen years old, faced the enemy alone."

Naki shook his head, half proudly, half sadly, and said:

"It took him ten minutes."

"one person."

"Forty White Blades brought down."

Quick Rope froze for a moment.

next second.

"What!"

His big mouth, which had nowhere to rest, opened and closed, as if he wanted to scream but couldn't.

Thales recalled it, and endless shock and fear arose in his heart.

Four... forty?

White Blades?

He thought of six years ago, those elite fighters who vowed to die under the onslaught of Heisha collar, fought bloody to the end, and even counterattacked once, made the soldiers of Lumbardy miserable, and suffered a lot of casualties. A heroic guard who deflects crossbow bolts with a slippery head.

Thinking of Nicolai and Monty and Justin.

One person, bring down forty?

How can it be?

Obviously, the fast ropes were hit harder.

He looked at Sackel in the distance in disbelief, and then at the guard prisoners with gloomy expressions. Their cheeks were distorted, they spoke incoherently, and they couldn't smile:

"Just kidding, forty... white blade? Those are all veterans..."

Quick Rope blindly waved his hands in the air, as if this could throw his question further:

"Impossible, such a big thing, how come Niko—why didn't anyone tell me?"

He looked at everyone blankly, unable to accept the horrific news.

No one answered him.

"Get ready, Tardin," Belletti said coldly at this time:

"Barney is leaving."

Everyone's expressions turned serious: in the distance, Little Barney's offensive slowed down.

"So he has no problem with one against a hundred?" Thales frowned.

Facing the prince, the attitude of the prisoners in the guard was obviously much better than when facing "Wia Ka Suo". Semir said softly:

"It should be noted that no matter how big the battlefield is, it is limited when it falls on everyone."

"Except for special formations, even if a thousand people besiege one person, those who can attack the enemy hand-to-hand at the same time are only the six or seven people in the innermost circle."

He looked at little Barney from a distance, and said solemnly:

"As long as you are physically strong and mentally strong, there is no reason for Sakel to lose."

Thales' heart sank.

No.

That being the case, the presence of the royal guards simply...

There is no hope.

What the hell are they doing, little Barney?

"You know, someone in the Royal Guard once was idle and made up a bunch of jingles." Naki shook his head.

Bree behind him raised his finger and pointed at Naki expressionlessly.

"The last sentence is..."

Naki cleared his throat and said seriously: "Tony has no regrets, everything is hard to hurt..."

"Punishment immediately..."

"Thousands of troops are dead."
