Kingdom’s Bloodline

?

Thales doesn't like dawn.

The last dawn that he remembered deeply was six years ago in Dragon Clouds City, at the moment when the disaster disappeared and the giant dragon soared into the sky.

But when the night was coming to an end and the dawn was coming to the east, what he saw was not hope, but an abyss.

And at that time, like now, he experienced unimaginable disasters for ordinary people, supported his body with very little supplies and rest, and faced almost unsolvable problems.

In the tense atmosphere, Thales clenched his fists in the face of dozens of mercenaries who were staring at him.

Little Barney, who can only use one arm, wrapped the iron chain tightly around his left shoulder, leaned his body, and tried his best to bind Ricky.

"It's a wonderful... counterattack...so...now...how...to do..."

Barney can barely bite the words between his teeth, which shows that he is in a difficult situation.

The three other people who controlled Ricky were not much better. They were prisoners who had just been released from prison. In addition to the continuous battle, the supplies were far from keeping up with the consumption. At this moment, they were all panting and grinning.

what to do?

Thales took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the dizziness that seemed to flood his brain again.

When they were captured by the Sword of Disaster, Yordle, who was lurking secretly, could only hastily inform Thales of his rescue plan—Ricky kept Thales under strict surveillance.

And that was the end of that hasty plan.

But the next thing...

Thales looked at the Saber camp at the far end of his line of sight, trying to think of a way out.

Sackel still held the sword in one arm, standing in front of the mercenaries who surrounded him in a semicircle, facing the enemies' gritted teeth and resentful eyes.

Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi had a peaceful expression.

"This is very unwise, Your Highness, Sackel, you must know that we have no malicious intentions." Semir, who was standing in the front row of mercenaries, tried to persuade Thales while trying to control the Swords of Disaster from losing control.

"You'd better listen to him." This was Ricky, who was bound tightly by chains, gnashing his teeth in the dust all over his face, with his eyes tightly closed.

what to do……

Thales closed his eyes.

Camps, prisons, swords of disaster, shields of shadows...

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 made a fool!"

Thales opened his eyes and turned his head along with all the impatient people, wanting to see what he was up to.

Unexpectedly, it seems that Kuai Rope is not the one who caused the trouble this time.

Kuaisheng looked at his empty hands in shock, and kept raising and lowering his head:

"This is so haunted..."

But before he finished speaking, another figure appeared in the black ripples, holding the black time crossbow in his hand.

It's yordle.

For some reason, the moment he saw him, Thales felt a sense of peace from the bottom of his heart.

As many years ago.

Kuaisheng's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and it was difficult to recover after a long time.

In front of everyone's eyes, Jodl bent over skillfully, stepped on the winding string, and counted seconds back and forth, all in one go.

He took out a small arrow with a special style from the back of his waist, and put it in the crossbow slot.

"Fuck! What the hell are you trying to do—" Josh among the mercenaries cursed, and then thought about it.

Kuaisheng came to his senses, stretched out his hand and shouted urgently:

"Wait, there's something wrong with this thing's quasi-"

But Jodl didn't pay any attention to their intentions.

The masked guard raised the black arm crossbow on his own, faced the direction of the camp, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

"call out!"

A rapid and ear-piercing sharp sound!

Regardless of the mercenaries or the royal guards, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"call out--"

The sound of crossbow arrows was sharp and high-pitched, and everyone who heard it was moved.

It radiates from the sky and lasts for a long time, spreading all over the four fields, and it can be heard clearly for miles around.

Of course, this also includes the Saber Camp.

Jodl threw the fired crossbow back to the fast rope, ignoring the battered latter's muttering "why can't I?"

"call out--"

The sound of the crossbow began to weaken, but Thales moved his ears!

He had heard this voice before.

This is……

"This is the signal crossbow bolt of Dragon Cloud City—White Blade Guard?" Under the surprised eyes of the prisoners of the guard, the prince looked at Yoddle with both surprise and joy.

The masked guard nodded silently.

Thales opened his eyes wide:

"But what do you—"

Jodl bent over and nodded, his figure began to blur again:

"Meteorite."

"You didn't finish his luggage."

The figure of the masked guard completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and only a faint sentence remained in the air

"So I... didn't waste it."

No waste?

Thales raised his eyebrows.

He imagined the bleak scene of Nikolai the Meteorite waking up and finding himself lying naked on the wasteland, with everything from horses to luggage looted and penniless.

Thales put away his boring thoughts, and his mood improved:

Great, now all they have to do is delay and wait for rescue...

"Oh no, I recognize you," Taldin, who was pulling the chain fiercely, widened his eyes, looked at the place where the masked figure disappeared, and hissed:

"You were the little..."

But Saker, who had been paying attention to the enemy's situation, suddenly interrupted him:

"Taldin! Focus!"

"No time for this!"

The harsh reprimand of the punishment knight drew everyone's attention back to the enemy.

"I've had enough, and you guys reminded me," among the mercenaries, Josh, who was in the front row, stepped over Semir, staring at the punishment knight who looked like a moat, with an angry look on his face:

"Since we're outside..."

"Change to a crossbow!"

The dozen or so mercenaries in the back row didn't hesitate. Full of anger, they immediately retracted their melee weapons and pulled out crossbows or short bows from their backs or waists.

What?

Thales' expression froze.

Saker frowned slightly.

crossbow.

Great, another thing he hated so much.

"Win as much as you have, fully loaded!"

Josh's face was ferocious, and his long sword pointed directly at Sakel who was also frowning:

"Covershot! I can't believe I can't take down this branded son of a bitch!"

Thales watched with an ugly expression as more than a dozen crossbow machines of different sizes and a few ferocious bows and arrows were taken out by the mercenaries. The crossbowmen stepped on the pedals, bent down and wound them with pull rods or hooks. Then draw out the arrow more quickly, nock the arrow and wind it up.

The scene of countless crossbow arrows flying towards him and the little slippery head in the night of dragon blood appeared in front of his eyes.

"No!"

However, at Josh's side, Samir angrily pressed a bow that was nocking an arrow beside him:

"Ricky wants them alive!"

"Especially that prince!"

The mercenaries paused, hesitating between the differences of opinion between the two leaders.

But before they could react, Josh turned around and grabbed Samir's collar, angrily said:

"It's you who want them to live!"

"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 taken aback by Josh's sudden outburst. He froze for a moment, looked at his former colleagues who were dying, and then at the mercenaries who were furious.

"Keep winding!"

Josh pushed Semir away, gritted his teeth and ordered, then turned to Sackel and said:

"Listen well, branded warrior, if you want to become a target, then continue to resist!"

"Ricky can't die anyway."

The actions of the mercenaries moved the guards!

Cannon subconsciously protected Thales to his back, looked around like a frightened fast rope, and hid behind Thales without a teacher.

The atmosphere is getting tense.

"Oops, can't wait for rescue..."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Little Barney gritted his teeth and insisted on making up his mind, and said to the others:

"Brie, you and Belletti let go first, cover Sackel, and take down the leader at any cost..."

However.

"No."

The sudden interruption choked up little Barney who was making plans.

"What?" The vanguard officer turned to the person who interrupted him, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

I saw the punishment knight standing in front of everyone, facing the countless crossbows that were about to be assembled, he shook his head:

"We retreated back to the dungeon and took cover."

Sackel's expression was calm, and he pouted at Ricky who closed his eyes:

"But before that, chop off the 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's a watchman," Tardin said while pulling the iron chain as hard as he could, shaking his head in pain:

"Slightly...a little higher up the chain of command?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone fell silent

Barney's expression was slightly stiff.

"No."

Sackel turned his head slowly, extremely calm, as if he didn't care:

"The inheritance watchman is second only to the captain of the guard, and is equal to the deputy captain of the guard in the non-wartime state."

"High... a lot."

high.

a lot of.

Barney took a deep breath.

As if constipated, he turned his head back in pain, grinning and making a rude mouth.

"Why didn't I kill this bastard with a sword just now?" was full of remorse.

All the guards turned their heads away, trying not to look at the face of the vanguard officer.

But at this moment...

"Uh, 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 an unconcealable horror in his tone:

"This guy's strength..."

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads.

"……has a problem!"

As soon as the words fell, the chain on Belletti's hand trembled!

And he seemed to be out of control, and slid several inches towards Ricky in the sand!

It wasn't just Belletti alone, Barney Jr., Bree, and Taldin who were in charge of the chain also started sliding at the same time!

Thales stared at Ricky who was trapped in the lock:

At some point, he had already wrenched his left and right hands out of the chain, held the barbed chain instead, and slowly retracted it.

What?

The chains began to vibrate violently.

"No, no, no," Little Barney looked at his track in the sand in disbelief:

"There are four of us, what's going on..."

At this moment, a palpitating voice sounded out of nowhere, lingering in everyone's ears:

"You thought I was trapped."

rough.

sharp.

Dry dumb.

Like the roughest friction sound, it sounded from the bottom of my heart.

Suddenly strong and sometimes weak, sometimes high and low.

Everyone present, whether it was the royal guard or the sword of disaster, trembled!

But that terrifying voice that seemed to ring from the bottom of my heart and lingered in all directions did not let them go:

"But you didn't..."

The faces of the four people pulling the chain twitched, their breathing became disordered, and the range of being dragged increased instantly.

Many mercenaries dropped their arrows by mistake, or stretched half-drawn crossbow strings.

Some even covered their heads in pain.

Sackel suddenly closed his eyes, knelt down on one knee, panting heavily, and supported his body on the "eternal truth".

"You didn't..."

The voice went back and forth endlessly.

Thales couldn't help shaking all over, and subconsciously turned around to catch Cannon who was shaking for a while!

But Kuaisheng was even more unbearable. He even screamed and knelt down to cover his ears in pain.

"No……"

Thales tried his best to stabilize his body that seemed to lose his 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 can only feel the wind blowing around me, and I can't stop the goosebumps all over my body.

It's like being hooked into an endless nightmare.

The next second, Ricky's arms in the center of the chain shook, and the guards on both sides couldn't bear it anymore, and the chain came out!

"boom!"

An ear-piercing explosion!

While many people closed their eyes in pain, Thales, who tried to open his eyes, was surprised to see:

The chain shattered inch by inch, and fell powerlessly to Ricky's feet.

Showing the bloodstains from the barbs on his body.

No.

No!

But that's not the scariest.

Ricky gently wiped the dust off his face, and gave Thales a disturbing smile.

Thales tensed all over, only feeling that the stare under the yellow light seemed to have some kind of power.

After getting out of trouble, the other party seems to be a little... different?

momentum?

posture?

still……

what else?

"As I said, don't think you are smarter than the devil, and don't think you are stronger than the devil."

Ricky's voice was still terrible, and under the twilight 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...

In the next second, Ricky moved and rushed towards Thales!

The sudden change took only two or three seconds, and Sackel reacted the fastest. With a roar, he got up from the sand and rushed to Ricky:

"Stop him!"

The four members of the royal guard who were freed from the chains by the other party were second only to Sackel, gritted their teeth one after another, and stopped Ricky who was charging.

On the other side, Clay, who had just recovered from his dizziness, pushed aside the stumbling crowd, pushed away Josh and Samir, who were covering their ears in pain, and shouted an order angrily:

"Do it!"

The mercenaries roared in response one after another, stood up with the help of the power of termination, and attacked with their swords!

The once balanced situation became chaotic again!

In the second after Ricky left, Thales subconsciously turned around and ran towards the exit of the dungeon without caring about anything else!

But he overestimated his body after all.

After eating and resting just now, it's okay to walk slowly, but now the more he runs, the softer his feet are, and the darker his eyes are.

But in the center of the chaos, Ricky stopped, turned around, and hit Belletti who was blocking him from the side!

"Boom!"

The punishment officer, who only had time to protect his head and face, let out a muffled grunt, and fell backwards under the terrible force, falling into the soft sand.

At this moment, Barney Jr., Tardin, and Bree who were closest to him had already caught up with Ricky!

Bree snarled and raised his arms, ready to face him head-on. Barney Jr. hit Ricky's waist with his left elbow, and Tardin kicked Ricky's knee. The three of them prepared to suppress the enemy tacitly.

But at that moment, Ricky's body surged with endless power of termination, like an endless abyss, making him calmly turn around and face the three of them.

The three people who bumped into the enemy's body suddenly felt that their attacking power disappeared without a trace, as if they touched an endless ball of cotton, or... an endless abyss.

Ricky just shuddered slightly.

"Do you think I'm just an immortal target?"

The terrifying voice came again, making the three people standing against Ricky tremble together!

"Oops—"

Little Barney only had time to spit out half a word.

In the next moment, Barney Jr., Tardin, and Bree flew out like a kite with a broken string, either rolling or flying straight, blowing a cloud of dust in 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 more violent and faster.

Even more... crazy.

Ricky snorted softly, turned around and took a step forward, and Sakel's sword edge was already coming towards him like a shadow!

Ricky wanted to dodge and evade, but frowned and found that Sackel seemed to be in the most wonderful angle, and he couldn't dodge at all.

So he smiled.

"laugh!"

Steel cracks.

But Sackel was stunned.

His sword edge 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 chop off my head?"

Ricky, who had half of his cheek cut off, was bleeding profusely, and was described as terrifying, biting the sword edge in his mouth—literally "in the mouth"—and showing a treacherous smile.

"Beautiful skill..."

His teeth and lips obviously didn't move, but that terrifying voice sounded out of nowhere, which made Sackel's body tense and shuddered:

"Stupid... idea."

Ricky stretched out his hand to hold the blade on the side of his face, and pulled it out!

Sakeel immediately let go of the hilt of the sword, and only then did he avoid being pulled back by the opponent's huge force.

In this short period of time, there are already killing sounds all around!

The mercenaries surrounded them, and Barney and the others, who were struggling to get up, had no choice but to fight the enemy immediately.

"Give up, before there are more casualties!" Samir greeted little Barney, gritted his teeth and persuaded.

"Fuck you!" Little Barney cursed, throwing out a length of chain he grabbed from the ground.

Thales, who finally ran to the exit of the dungeon, was weak in his feet, and he had to be supported by a fast rope to hold him steady.

"Go and help them," Thales resolutely said to the hesitant Cannon while testing the lifeless Hell River Sin and the almost taboo magic energy:

"Delaying time."

"go!"

Cannon's hesitation only lasted for a moment, and he shook his head decisively:

"No!"

"You are more important!"

Thales, who was weak with anger, could only grit his teeth and pant.

On the other side, Ricky took back his silver-bladed long sword, and before his half-cut face recovered, he rushed towards the unarmed Sackel!

Sackel flashed a sword and frowned:

Unfortunately, he found that the opponent's power seemed to be boundless, and his movements were coherent and fast, without any stagnation.

However, the moves are fierce, the momentum is amazing, and the pressure is full.

The penalty knight, who had lost his chance and was in poor condition, was at a loss. He was in danger several times, but he was surprisingly able to avoid it at dangerous and dangerous moments.

After a blow forced Sackel to roll over in embarrassment, Ricky suddenly stopped and turned around with a sword!

"clang!"

He scratched a streak of fire in the air.

During the clash of metals, Ricky stretched out his right arm and pierced a figure in the ripples of the air!

Thales was shocked!

"You forgot something, mask."

Ricky turned his head to look at Yodel who was gradually taking shape, and the terrifying voice sounded again:

"The night is over, the desert is dawning."

"And when you strike, I can see your footprints."

The masked guard trembled, he grabbed the blade stuck in his left shoulder, trying to prevent "Eternal Truth" from going any further.

In the next second, Yodel seemed to give up and continue struggling. Instead, he raised his head, shook his right hand, and shot out the gray dagger!

And Ricky just turned his head slightly, and avoided the blow.

"You're off the mark."

Ricky looked at the masked assassin kneeling on the ground with a sneer, already trembling under his terrifying power of finishing.

But it wasn't Yordle who answered him.

It was a gray dagger that pierced through the back of his neck and protruded from his mouth!

"He's right."

Saker, who appeared behind Ricky at some point, said coldly.

Ricky shuddered, feeling his cervical vertebrae severed and sensation from the neck down.

He involuntarily let go of the long sword.

"No……"

Ricky stared in disbelief, his mouth was obviously damaged, but the terrifying voice still sounded out of thin air, making Sackel tremble unconsciously:

"how do you……"

Sackel twisted hard to stop his next words:

"Do you know the power of this legendary anti-magic weapon?"

The punishment knight shook his head in disgust, and pushed Ricky's body away.

Sure enough... the legendary anti-magic weapon?

Ricky fell limply.

He watched Sackel pull Yordle up, patted the latter's shoulder, picked up "Eternal Truth", and turned to him again.

Sackel raised his long 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 arena trembled in unison, unable to control themselves, and subconsciously fell to their knees!

Thales tried his best to hold on to the iron plate at the exit of the dungeon, while Cannon and the fast rope beside him had already knelt down, in great pain.

What exactly is this--

On the other side, Ricky struggled faster than before, and stopped Sackel's trembling long sword with his arms!

It seemed that he no longer had to spend time regenerating and recovering.

Sackel and Yodl looked at each other, and looked at Ricky in shock—the yellow light in the other's pupils became more and more obvious, while the scorched and strange muscles were faintly exposed from the wounds all over his body.

"Then you never say it."

Ricky looked at Sackel and Yodel in front of him, and for the first time showed decisive murderous intent in his eyes.

At that moment, Sackel burst out an instinctive tremor in the face of danger from his skin to his blood!

In the distance, Thales saw bitterly:

Ricky shook his arms, and Sackel and Yoddle both flew out!

Sackel fell to the ground, coughing blood in pain.

Drenched in blood, Ricky, who described horror, walked towards Yodel.

"You're great, Mask—the last person who killed me twice before I could fight back..."

"My name is Molly Lorraine."

Ricky lifted the mask guard from the ground, and covered the dark purple mask with his right hand!

"Then let's see what's under your mask..."

"no no!"

Sackel, who fell to the side, stretched out his hand in pain and horror:

"That mask—you can't!"

Ricky grinned grinningly, clasping the edge of the deep purple mask, with infinite strength pouring out of his palm.

For more than ten years, Thales has never heard Yordle's screams or screams.

The masked guard was taciturn, and even if he was injured during the battle, he only groaned.

until this moment.

"Ahhhh—"

Yordle roared in pain!

Under Ricky's extremely happy grin and endless strength, Yodel struggled harder and harder!

His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and the magnitude was as if he was enduring the most terrifying torture.

"No!"

Seeing this scene, Thales almost gritted his teeth!

He instinctively snatched the time crossbow from the fast rope:

"Give me the crossbow!"

Quick Rope was surprised:

"But it, the crosshair—"

Right now.

"call out!"

There was a piercing and sharp sound.

Like the morning light breaking through the darkness.

Followed by an even harsher explosion:

"Snapped!"

The mercenaries, the royal guards, everyone paused and raised their heads together.

I saw a bunch of dazzling sparks flickering in the sky under the shimmering sky.

The flash made the figures sway on the chaotic sand.

It wasn't just fire that broke the chaos.

"Woo--"

A melodious horn sounded from afar.

clear.

Loud.

Penetrates the heart. 8)
