At that moment, the hammer and Russell raised their eyebrows and looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their hearts.

Didn't this guy just ......

Ricky held up another finger:

"But you have to understand that it's just a matter of reality, and whoever gets the goal done first will get into trouble, so we have to work together. ”

He looked silently at the drill and then at Russell.

"Beyond that, that doesn't mean we're on your thief ship. Whether it is me or my brothers, the inheritors outside the tower have their own creed and purpose, and they have their own ways to survive, and they do not admit any bullshit theories such as relying on power, if Rumba or you think that you can use our feud with the stars to blackmail us into taking sides......"

Ricky's tone was cold:

"Then you are mistaken. ”

The masked man snorted, "Big mistake. ”

The lights in the tavern flickered again.

Reflection's expression was particularly serious.

The chisel took a deep breath and smiled brightly: "I guess, this is a 'happy cooperation'?"

Ricky stared at him for a long time, and then curled the corners of his mouth:

"That's it. ”

In the next second, the mercenaries breathed in unison and regained their vitality.

It was as if the leader's words had livened up the atmosphere.

"Then let's do it," said the brow, "starting with that prince." ”

At this moment, Tails screamed in his heart.

The shield of shadows, the sword of calamity, and the three parties of King Chaman formed an alliance.

The goal is ...... Himself.

That's not good.

In particular, someone is sitting right under their noses.

It is not for heaven to be heard, and it is not effective to knock on the earth.

In the tavern, the three parties, who had been full of contradictions, sat down again to discuss the plan.

"So, you want to find a prince who was in your hands, but is out of control again," Ricky sighed, "Is it that hard?"

Russell snorted.

"Is it that hard?" said the former baron of Exeter, sarcastically.

"More than three months ......"

Russell clenched his fists in dismay:

"For the sake of that broken prince, the Dark Room and the Secret Branch fought at the border, killing and wounding. ”

"His Majesty's men and horses have lost their troops inside and outside the country, and they are disgraced and embarrassed. ”

"From Longxiao City, Qiyuan City to the Great Desert, there is chaos everywhere, and the soldiers are in chaos. ”

"Even the Shadow Shield has suffered heavy losses, and they even have a safe base in the desert that was destroyed by the orcs who appeared out of nowhere. ”

Hearing this, the chisel smiled wryly.

Tails was stunned.

For more than three months......

Russell crossed his arms and asked maliciously, "Now, do you still think it's that hard?"

Ricky snorted, looking at Clay and the masked man.

"We want the Prison of Bones, or rather, the people who are being held down there," the masked man said calmly, "In terms of timing, it is expected to start at dawn, and our people will enter the prison with the supply truck of 'my family'." ”

The tavernkeeper, Tampa, crouched on the table with a sad face.

"Very well, let's see what we can do......" said the chisel, scratching his chin.

"No," Russell flatly rejected the plan:

"That prince, Tails Bright Star has not yet been found, and once you enter the Prison of Bones, it will alarm the camp. ”

Tails complained bitterly, but he had to pick himself up and listen carefully to their deliberations, trying to find an opportunity in them.

"You'll have to postpone the action, a day or two," Russell gritted his teeth.

"Until we find the whereabouts of the prince, we plan carefully, and it is best to cooperate with each other and act first. ”

But on the side of the Sword of Calamity, Clay shook his head.

"Impossible," Clay said unrefusively, "we're already ready to fly, and we have to go at dawn unless we can still force this boss to run like no one else for another day?"

Tampa was excited, and hurriedly spoke: "Insert a sentence, I have no problem, I will definitely be able to act well, as long as you let it go afterwards ......"

But Russell interrupted him.

"Prince Tails must be sent to the Black Sand Collar or everything will be left untouched. "He's tough on that.

Clay tried to speak again, but the chisel spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

"If we want to cooperate, then we must be considerate of each other," the representative of the Shadow Shield said to the people on both sides of the flank, "especially since it is still a long time before dawn breaks, and I think we will soon have news of that prince." ”

Ricky's face froze.

"How?"

The drill smiled slyly, "We have an inside line, and if the Bladefang camp knows the prince's whereabouts, we will know immediately." ”

"Inside?" Ricky frowned:

"You'd better be more detailed, we don't want to bet such a big action on vague promises. ”

The chisel let out a breath and looked at the mercenaries around the tavern.

But Ricky had no intention of evacuating his subordinates.

In the end, the drill had no choice but to raise his eyebrows, his eyes mysteriously lowered his voice, and said the secret:

"We have eyes and ears in Williams' 'freak squad'. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around them were stunned.

Even Tails was shocked.

"Out of the Prison of Bones, those 'freaks' of the supernatural beings?"

The masked man's tone was full of suspicion: "Those scum...... Is it reliable?"

The chisel shrugged.

"Of course it's reliable, our inside line is one of Williams' most trusted captains, and there's no problem with the news channels. ”

Ricky raised an eyebrow: "Williams' people...... Can you make sure of his loyalty?"

The chisel took two steps and smiled grimly.

"In fact, we don't need his loyalty, because he still depends on us to make a windfall, to treat his wife and daughter for a genetic terminal illness, we just need his loyalty to his family. ”

"That's what you're trying to do with him?"

Russell frowned, "Once he's out of control......"

The chisel stretched out a finger and swung it in the air.

"Of course it's more than that," the chisel said coldly, "You know, we have to secretly poison his wife and daughter regularly, which is also very expensive." ”

The meaning contained in these words made everyone's hearts chill.

"Despicable. The masked man commented disdainfully.

The drill owes itself.

"Thank you," he said unashamedly, "it's a compliment to us." ”

Tails sighed inwardly: from the details of the plan to the action, they said it without shying back......

What does this mean......

I'm not going to let them go.

Tails glanced at the innocent-looking fastrope beside him and shook his head.

Perhaps, not so innocent.

Ricky coughed, drawing everyone's attention.

"So, you rely on this to wait for news from the prince?"

The chisel blinked.

Ricky looked at him and smiled.

"Well, we have another inside line. ”

The drill's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

"More reliable than yours," Ricky said, looking at the masked man beside him:

"A star nobleman, a rookie under the command of the Earl of Wing Castle, good at combat, leading troops alone, and deeply trusted. ”

The face of the chisel changed.

"Wow, a new nobleman," he said, taking a deep breath and hiding his excitement, "after the Scarlet Year...... That's really not what we can do. ”

But the drill then cautiously asked: "Forgive my offense, if he is a man of the stars, then his reliability and loyalty ......."

This time, Marina stepped up.

She glanced at the chisel with her usual contemptuous eyes.

"There is no need to doubt his loyalty. ”

"Not necessarily," the chisel snorted, "I just told us our secret, and do you need ...... too?"

But before he could finish speaking, Marina interrupted angrily: "No need!"

I saw the woman in red with two swords gritted her teeth and said:

"He's my fiancé...... At least it was. ”

The drill's eyes widened.

Even Tails was taken aback.

Wait a minute.

Fiance.

If Marina is the fiancée of some star nobleman, that's ......

But before he could think about it, the masked man spoke in a cold voice: "Is this enough?"

"Love and the marriage covenant are far more reliable than the vile means you use to control people's hearts. ”

The chisel nodded with a sense of understanding.

"May I take the liberty of asking your name?"

Marina paused slightly.

She looked at Ricky.

"You have nothing to hide about the past, good girl," Ricky nodded at him, letting out a good-natured smile:

"You have been given a new lease of life and live only for yourself. ”

As if gaining some strength from the other party's words, Marina took a deep breath, turned her head, and held her head high.

"I'm Marina," at this moment, the girl in red's body exuded an unfamiliar sense of seriousness: "Marina Norfolk." ”

Tails frowned, unfamiliar with the surname.

But others are different.

"Wait, Norfolk, this surname ......" the chisel frowned, remembering something.

He didn't have to be confused for too long.

"Eighteen years ago, you dastardly assassinated Duke of Star Lake, John Bright Star, in the city of Sodara," Marina trembled, grabbed her twin swords, stared at the shadow assassin in front of her, and coldly told the truth, "and then blamed his personal guard, my uncle, Cybernofolk." ”

John Bright Star!

Tails shuddered slightly.

Is that......

Starlight God of War.

The image of the people associated with it, the Flower of the Fortress and the veteran Jenard appeared before his eyes.

The hammer looked at the girl in red in disbelief.

"Because of this great rebellion, my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brother...... Almost everyone in the Norfolk family was sentenced to death in that year by the newly crowned Kessel V. ”

Marina's voice trembled.

But she immediately clenched her teeth and, with unimaginable tenacity, bit out the following words: "Except for me." ”

"The last Norfolk. ”

There was a moment of silence in the tavern.

With an indescribable expression, the chisel nodded:

"Now, I know why you're so indignant at me. ”

Sonny patted Marina on the shoulder, pulling her to the side, shivering.

The chisel fell silent, and Russell looked at this and that, also silent.

In the tavern, for a moment only the sound of the mercenaries breathing.

Ricky sighed.

"Very well, so, now that we have two inside lines, I'll order them down right away. He waved his hand, and the masked man nodded.

"But until then......"

Ricky shifted.

His tone changed with his gaze.

"That's a coincidence......

In the next second, Ricky's eyes rolled faintly.

He turned everyone's attention to the two guests who hadn't spoken for a long time.

"The two 'Dante's Great Sword' over there, after listening to it for so long, should have some reactions, right?"

At that moment, Tails was shocked!

The fast rope also stiffened.

Dante's greatsword.

Finished.

He remembers!

In the tavern, Hammer looked at them with a surreptitious glance, Russell frowned and examined the two mercilessly, Clay made careful and cautious observations, and the masked man shivered with a faint cold light from his eyes.

The two princes knew that their good fortune had passed.

From this moment on, the two could no longer pretend to be dead.

So they stiffened up, little by little, inch by inch, and slowly turned to Ricky.

It's like having rusty old gears in your body.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking, but ......"

Ricky picked up two fingers, pointed at the two of them, and said lightly, "You guys didn't just happen to be here, did you?"
