Kingdom’s Bloodline

"I remember this guy, the ones who put an end to the traitors in the Tower - came with Semir."

Belletti looked tense, and said to Barney beside her.

Thales listened to their words in a daze, his eyes locked on Ricky in front of him.

The blow from the huge shock not only exhausted his spirit, but even the pain in his body seemed to intensify.

How can it be……

"Semir," Little Barney stared at Samir standing in the sword of disaster:

"You deliberately lied to us that this is the exit, and lured us here just for... this?"

Little Barney's words made the prisoners in the guards gnash their teeth.

Samir stared at Barney for a second, hummed and shook his head.

"I didn't lie to you."

Semil paused for a moment, his voice was cold:

"This is the only way to live—you go out through the gate, and there is only one way to die."

Little Barney snorted.

The group of menacing swordsmen in front of them is obviously not good, but their side...

Barney glanced at his right arm, which was still in labor, and the people who were severely frustrated in the alchemy ball, and felt very troubled.

"If you want to reminisce about the past, you might as well put it to a later date."

With confidence and politeness, Ricky interrupted the exchange of glances between Samir and his former colleagues:

"Now, everyone, it's time for us to go home."

As Ricky's words fell, the people around him—the Northland swordsman Clay with extremely fast sword speed, and Josh, who was stationed in advance as a spy, slowly stretched their hands to the hilt of their waist.

The faces of the prisoners of the royal guard tightened. They were in poor condition and tried to raise their weapons and put on a fighting stance.

"We're in too bad a state to fall into melee and siege. There's something wrong with their finishing power, so we can't be too entangled," Little Barney stared at Ricky in front of him, and said softly to the people around him:

"Belletti,

I only have one hand to use, and there is no room for temptation. "

"I understand," Belletti responded quietly with a solemn expression:

"Waiting for your signal."

Little Barney nodded, raised his head and said loudly to Ricky:

"What is your purpose?"

Ricky smiled faintly, and was about to speak.

"Don't worry, I just..."

But Thales, who was trying to calm himself down, changed his face, and suddenly understood what little Barney was going to do.

The teenager subconsciously raised a hand:

"wait--"

But before he finished speaking, Barney Jr. and Belletti both rushed out with the momentum of an avalanche!

The battle broke out instantly!

It seems to be due to the injury, this time Barney did not take the lead, but Belletti roared as the vanguard. The two hit Ricky directly in front of him with an ax and a sword!

Maybe it was too sudden, Clay and Josh standing behind Ricky subconsciously drew their swords, but they still couldn't catch up. They could only watch helplessly as they approached Ricky first.

Swish!

At the same second, Ricky's long silver sword, Eternal Truth, drew a beautiful arc, driving the sound of the wind, and enveloped the two attackers.

Ding!

With a soft sound, the eternal truth hit Belletti's spearhead in the middle of the air.

At that moment, Belletti suddenly had an illusion: she was caught in an endless vortex of scorching heat and was about to suffocate.

To make matters worse, even though it had been expected, the final force of the Sword of Disaster still affected his arm, making it more irresistible than ever before.

Burning, oppressive, heavy.

And the rather heavy mercenary ax in his hand began to tremble involuntarily.

In Ricky's smile, Belletti watched helplessly as his attack deviated by more than an inch, barely gliding across the opponent's wrist.

Ricky sneered in his heart, knowing that Belletti's attack was no longer a threat, he turned his long sword and faced the other person.

But at this moment, Little Barney, who was one step behind, finally arrived!

To Ricky's surprise, little Barney, who had only one arm left to use, didn't attack him.

Instead, he stepped forward and slammed into Belletti!

Boom!

With a muffled sound, Belletti groaned and let go of the handle of the ax that seemed uncontrollable.

He changed direction with the impact of Little Barney, clasped his fists and bent his elbows, and slammed into Ricky!

The restless Ricky finally changed color.

The blade is just... bait?

But Belletti, who seemed to be out of control, rushed to the front.

Thales suddenly realized that this was a variant of the "counterattack" sword technique used by the Northern Army.

It's just that Barney Jr. used his colleagues as shields.

He was secretly startled: From the shield in his hand to the living people around him, what kind of tacit understanding is needed for the two of them to attack this move together?

Thales didn't have time to think about it, and Ricky had to move around shortly, but the long sword couldn't be retrieved in time.

He could only use the hilt of his sword as a shield, and hit Belletti hard in the stomach, deflecting his impact.

During Belletti's muffled groans, taking advantage of this gap, Barney's long-awaited sword finally stabbed out, heading straight for Ricky's abdomen!

There was a sound of tearing flesh and blood.

"Ahhh!"

Ricky's roar resounds through the dungeon!

At that moment, as if the surrounding air was squeezed, Barney and Belletti, who were already bound to win, trembled together.

thump!

Before Thales could react, Barney Jr. and Belletti staggered around Ricky like drunks who couldn't control themselves, and both fell down in embarrassment!

"Clang!"

Both the ax blade and the sword blade fell to the ground.

Thales sighed in pain.

"No!" Taldin, who took over his duties and surrounded Thales, his eyes were tearing apart, and he exclaimed.

The next second, the Swords of Disaster reacted, and Josh and Kreziqi caught up with their swords to their necks, firmly suppressing the two who had failed in the sneak attack.

Seeing Ricky's figure flickering, he thrust the long sword into the ground fiercely, trying to maintain his balance,

He lowered his head in pain: blood was constantly oozing from the seam of his left fingers covering his abdomen.

In a few seconds, back and forth, the rabbits rose and the falcons fell, and the dangerous battle was over.

The people around were dumbfounded.

"Damn it," Northland swordsman Clay looked angrily at Little Barney at his feet:

"This is the first time we have been attacked tonight..."

But when he was about to go on, Ricky stopped him.

"No, they are very powerful," Ricky panted, waving his hands to reject Samir's offer to come and help him:

"I have been imprisoned for many years, and my body is seriously injured, but I can still find such an opportunity."

Ricky looked at the blood dripping from his waist and sighed.

As Barney Jr. and Belletti failed and were captured, Thales' heart became heavier and bitterer.

"Quiel Barney, right?"

Ricky's face was pale, and he looked at the little Barney who was dragged from the ground by his subordinates, who was described as embarrassed or even tragic, and looked at the expression of resentment and resentment on the other side.

"Samir mentioned you to me, and it was ridiculous," Ricky frowned back and forth, as if he was enduring pain:

"He told me that no matter how bad Barney's condition is, as long as you still have a life, even teeth alone can create the deadliest damage."

Ricky stared at his waist and abdomen, and laughed miserably:

"I believe it now."

In response, Barney Jr. just gave a stern bah, keeping his eyes on the serious injury on the opponent's waist.

hateful.

almost...

Just a little bit!

"In normal times, you must be a good opponent worth fighting."

"But not today."

Ricky's panting gradually subsided, and he turned to Thales, who had an extremely ugly expression:

"I am surprised and admired, Your Highness, in such a short period of time, you have found yourself a team of top guards."

"Now, we can call it a day."

Following his words, several mercenaries seemed to tighten their swords against the hostages in protest.

Thales' expression tightened.

I saw Ricky waving his hand wearily:

"Take the others down, let's go out."

The mercenaries headed by Clay and Josh received orders and came forward one after another.

"Your Highness," Tardin nervously looked at the Swords of Disaster surrounding him, "Please stand back..."

But at this moment, Thales suddenly stood up.

"Wait a moment!"

Under Tardin's worried and puzzled eyes, His Royal Highness passed them with an ugly expression and stood at the front of the line.

"I have a question."

Clay and Josh, with swords in hand, frowned slightly.

Knowing the importance of this boy, they looked back at Ricky.

Ricky took a deep breath, drew his saber off the ground, and stood firm.

He took a step forward with his sword in hand:

"Come on, Your Highness, I believe you are tired too."

"What's the problem, let's go out and talk about it?"

Thales ignored Ricky's words, he just stared at the other person, trying to find out the difference in every detail of Ricky's body.

But he was disappointed.

Although Ricky was seriously injured at the moment and his face was tired, compared with the corpse that was once soaked in blood, his whole body was completely new.

Thales took a deep breath, only feeling that the pain and fatigue in his body became more and more obvious.

Even thinking seems to be half a beat slow.

But he must persist.

especially in the face of...

"I saw it with my own eyes, your head was pierced."

Thales braced himself and stared at Ricky suspiciously.

"But you, how did you do it?"

Listening to the conversation between the prince and Ricky, everyone in the guard was shocked.

"What's the meaning?"

Tardin whispered to Cannon next to him: "Piercing the head?"

Cannon just looked at Bouri in blank dismay, incomprehensible.

Ricky smiled again, naturally.

But Thales became nervous and irritable.

His head started hurting again.

"Didn't you already have the answer?" Ricky stared at the boy knowingly, with a look of color on his face.

"After you figure it out, you will understand: you are powerless to resist."

Already have an answer?

Thales suddenly discovered something was wrong.

That's right.

Thales was surprised to see that the pained look on Ricky's face had disappeared.

Ricky straightened up and let go of his grip on his stomach.

At some point, his wound was no longer bleeding.

And Ricky returned to the indifferent image of the leader, rubbed the condensed bright red on his hands, smiled and shook his head.

It was like he had never been seriously injured with a piercing in the waist and abdomen.

Only the armor that was cut off remained, telling the scene just now.

Thales felt a chill in his heart.

what does that mean?

And he said...

Ricky's faint smile suddenly became mysterious in Thales' eyes.

The prince only felt a splitting headache.

He looked at the damage of the armor on the other side's waist, enduring the fatigue of wanting to sleep over:

"Are you... a blood race?"

Ricky paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head.

"I said, you already have the answer, but you don't want to admit it."

Not blood.

no.

Looking at the subdued Barney and Belletti, the inexplicable fear in his heart welled up again.

"You said just now that if you don't die, you will be reborn every time?"

Thales gritted his teeth, and carefully asked the question he was most worried about:

"Who are you……"

"Are you one of them?"

Ricky still just smiled and didn't answer.

Laughing so that Thales's spirit, which was already tortured and dying, was even more uncomfortable.

Seeing the other party's almost tacit attitude, Thales felt extremely cold in his heart.

Facing assassins, he can be vigilant, facing northerners, he can negotiate, and facing Sackel, he can find another way...

But facing...

Thales' complexion was gloomy.

The subdued little Barney understood something, and his face changed slightly:

"Wait, you mean this person..."

Thales shook his head, keeping his eyes on Ricky.

hateful.

If, if this guy is what I think...

if he is...

No, too bad.

First Thackel, then this...

The young man's tired eyes turned around and stopped on the silver long sword he once held.

If he really is...then there is no hope for reckless fighting.

unless.

Thales just felt that his head was about to explode.

He had to think, think, think of a way out...

Think about Ashida, think about Giza, even Toros, think about what to do when you face them...

Thales took a deep breath and tremblingly said:

"So, the Sword of Disaster really means literally, an organization of disaster? Like the Blood Bottle Gang, it exists for you and serves you?"

Everyone was stunned.

Including the people of the sword of disaster.

Ricky raised his eyebrows.

Looking at his appearance, Thales' heart moved:

"You said, your sword is called Eternal Truth, Truth—isn't it a coincidence?"

Thales made up his mind and gritted his teeth:

"So, your leader is Brother Truth?"

Contrary to Thales' expectations, his means of delaying time and finding opportunities worked.

brother truth.

At that second, Ricky's face changed.

He, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly turned frosty after hearing this sentence.

Thales' legs were sore for a while, seeing hope, he had to support Little Barney beside him to stand still:

"Or, you are Brother Truth, b? or l?"

"Should I call you the Sword of Truth from now on?"

The prince's words stunned almost everyone present.

Except for one person.

Standing in front of everyone, Ricky's expression became extremely cold.

There was a murderous intent in his eyes, which made Thales tremble.

Ricky stared at Thales coldly, as if he wanted to find some secret from the boy.

"Can you say that again?"...
