Chapter 31: The Problem Is Big
"Don't move, ma'am," Nicolai said coldly to Kasan in front of him, "I'm nervous, and I'm afraid you're going to come up with some special alchemy orb, so I'm ready to pull your throat open at any moment." ”
He tapped the back of the knife with his index finger.
The Scarlet Witch sank her shoulders and fell silent.
Tails looked at the Nicola who suddenly appeared, and then at the other Whiteblade Guards.
"Nicolas?"
He looked at the Starfall holding the Scarlet Witch hostage suspiciously: "Why did you ......"
But Tails's words could not continue, and Tulha's hand on his shoulder suddenly tightened, and Tails hissed in pain.
Seeing the prince's situation, Waiya was so angry that she clenched her sword.
Tulha dragged the back of his knife around Tails' neck, forcing Tails to raise his head to the top.
Tails oblimentarily observed the situation in the arena: Tulha and he were standing on the upper floor of the cell, the little slippery head still behind them.
The crowd of the stars stood in front of them, nervously watching the kidnapped prince.
Nicolais, on the other hand, restrains the Scarlet Witch and stands behind the Stellar People.
Behind Nicolai were the White-Bladed Guards, who stood against the thick door, staring warily at the soldiers outside the door.
"Pretty action, Starfall," the Black Sand Lord's Fire Knight calmly said to Nicola, "but don't forget, I'm holding on to the more important chips. ”
The Starfall turned his head and glanced at Tulha with disdain.
"Then do it, kill this prince," Nicolai sneered, "Anyway, I've been disagreeing with him for a long time." ”
Tails' eyes widened.
What?
Tulha frowned.
"After you've got it," Nicolai's Soul Breaker shook slightly around Kassan's neck, reflecting the light of the lamp, and he smiled slightly, "Maybe they can give you a different nickname, like ......"
The Starfaller's gaze swept over Tails, and the corners of his mouth grinned lightly at the Fire Knight:
"Starfall II?"
Tulha stared at Nicola fiercely, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
"That's our prince," Cohen observed the stalemate, exchanged a worried look with Waiya, and whispered, "Just looking at it?"
"Or else?" Miranda looked at Raphael beside Nicola, at Tulha and Tails in the rear, and then swept past the white-knuckle guards and enemies facing each other, and sighed slightly: "This is no longer our battle. ”
At this moment, the kidnapped Scarlet Witch spoke.
"The Whiteblade Guards, the Dragonguards of Exeter. She said softly.
"You're on the wrong side," Kasan didn't seem to be aware of being pushed a blade against the carotid artery, only to hear her smile naturally and fluently, "Your opponents are those behind you, those Imperials." ”
Nicola's eyebrows are slightly raised.
The Scarlet Witch sighed softly, as if in deep regret, "It was their secret science that orchestrated all this, such as the calamity, such as the death of the king. ”
The faces of the stars, including Tails, also changed.
All right...... Kasan wasn't wrong, and Tails thought worriedly.
The second prince glanced worriedly at the white-bladed guards present, but their expressions were all hidden behind the face scarves, leaving only a pair of cold eyes.
Raphael, who was standing beside Nicolais, sighed slightly: "Oh, this question is very complicated. ”
"But now......" he walked up to the two of them, looking at Nicolai earnestly, at the blade that forced Kasan in his hand, "shall we find a way to get out first?"
Nicolai suddenly turned his head to look at the young man in the secret department, his eyes cold.
Raphael took the knife-like look, and he showed a smile that pretended to be light: "You know, Walton's heir is also here. ”
"Maybe not a good time to chat, especially with the Red Witch who lies so much. ”
Nicollet looked into the innermost part of the cell.
Xiao Slippery Head was slightly stunned, and then he reacted and said that it was himself, and he couldn't help but turn white.
"If you really want to help, Secret boy," Nikolai's eyes glowed coldly, and his words were serious, "don't get in my way. ”
Raphael sighed slightly.
"Otherwise," the Starfall continued, sharply, "do you want to get stuck here? ”
Raphael was silent for a second, he looked at Tulha and Tails behind him, and then at Nicolai and the Scarlet Witch in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I understand." ”
At this moment, Tails raised an eyebrow.
He saw Rolf make a covert sign language gesture towards him.
Back off.
Tails was slightly stunned.
"For His Majesty's sake, Lord Nicolai," said the Scarlet Witch slowly, "don't do anything stupid. ”
Nicolas glanced around the room, his gaze lingering on Raphael and the Scarlet Witch for a second.
"We don't have to tell us what to do, Lady Kashan," the Meteorite snorted, his eyes shining fiercely, "The humiliation of the white blade can only be washed away with blood." ”
In the hands of the white-bladed guards, there was a sound of rubbing between the palms and the handles.
Kassan's eyes lit up and she snapped, "So what are you going to do now?"
There was a rare hint of coldness in the Scarlet Witch's words: "After the unfortunate death of the king, Exeter has experienced a rare disaster, you should be on the side of the kingdom, on the side of the Northlanders!"
"Instead of being in cahoots with our enemies, flies and dogs!"
Kassan's words echoed through the cell.
Tails exhaled tremblingly under Tulha's knife.
Nicolas laughed suddenly.
His laughter was cold and sarcastic.
"Extter's disaster?our enemy?" the Meteorite gritted his teeth, a chill in his eyes, "Don't pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring, hypocritical old woman. ”
"From the moment your men began to spread the news of the so-called Sword of Calamity, and began to draw His Majesty's attention for the sake of Rumba's actions, you betrayed him!"
The Scarlet Witch narrowed her eyes.
"You and your eyes and ears, you have joined forces with your Majesty's enemies, and you are deaf and dumb to the actions of the Black Sand Collar until Your Majesty dies in a shameful assassination, until they stand here," Nicolai said coldly in Kassan's ear, "In whose hands do you think these brothers of the White Blade Guard escaped with their lives?"
Trample!
The warriors of the White Blade Guard changed their steps in unison, facing the enemy sideways, and the sudden movement made the soldiers of the Black Sand Collar even more nervous.
Kasan sighed.
"About this, if you want," the Red Witch said lightly, looking at the blade at the front of her neck, "I swear in the name of the Dark Room, I can explain." ”
Nicolas made a nasal voice of unknown incomprehension.
"Why don't you explain it to Your Majesty," the Starfall narrowed, narrowing his eyes:
"Oh, I forgot that he had been killed by you and Rumba. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the cell became even more tense.
"Don't be so narrow-minded, Lord Nicolai," the Scarlet Witch said with a mournful expression, her eyes glancing at Tulha and Tails, "The Whiteblade Guards have never been the personal weapons of any one person, and you owe it to all of Exeter, to the Northlands......"
Nicolas interrupted her.
"The narrow-minded person is not me. ”
The Meteorite's tone was cold: "If you and your dark room, if you can't even be loyal to one person......"
"Don't hypocritically claim that you're loyal to Exeter. ”
Lady Kashan frowned slightly: "You ......"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Nicolai's left hand pressed on Kassan's back and pushed her out!
Tulha's pupils tightened.
How......
Raphael, who was standing in the middle, suddenly threw his hands away and pushed Miranda, Cohen, and Wya, just right, to avoid the path of the Red Witch being pushed!
The Red Witch, in shock, is pushed to the innermost level of Tulha and Tails.
Tails looked at Lady Kassan, who was staggering towards them, at the starmen on either side, and suddenly realized in his heart: he remembered the conversation between Raphael and Nicolai just now.
It was a planned exchange between the two of them: if you really want to help...... Don't get in my way.
Tulha watched in amazement as the figure of the Star Man parted, and watched as the figure of the Red Witch drew closer and closer.
He hesitated for a moment.
That is, until a grim-looking Nicolai appeared behind Kasan.
"Whew"
The Falling Star's weapon blew a knife wind, without any restraint, and slashed at the top of the Red Witch's head from top to bottom!
It was as if it was here that she was killed.
Tulha did not hesitate any longer.
Still clinging to Tails, he headed in the direction of Nicolas and the Scarlet Witch.
"Bell!"
The Fire Knight's left hand clamped down on Tails, while his right hand held off the Meteorite's life-threatening slash at the Red Witch.
At this time, the frowning Red Witch was able to gain a firm foothold beside him.
But the next moment, Nicolai's eyes suddenly burst into unprecedented light!
"Ahh
The Burning Knight's golden-colored saber immediately made a sharp sound of metal grinding!
Tulha's face changed, as he fended off the enemy with one hand.
At that moment, he decisively let go of Tails, and gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, resisting the tremendous force that Nicolai burst out.
Tails, who was out of control, ignored it, and according to the signal that Rolf had just given him, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and rolled backwards!
He bumped into the little slippery head that was supporting him behind him, and the two of them slammed into the wall together.
The disfigured Tails didn't bother with the situation anymore, he was thinking about the conversation between Raphael and Nicolais.
They said more than that.
Do you want to get stuck here?
Stuck here?
As soon as this thought came to him, Tails felt a shock under him!
"What's wrong?" asked Slippery Tou, hugging him, surprised.
He didn't know how to answer.
There was no chance to answer either.
"Bang!"
There was another loud explosion of earth and rock.
The ground beneath Tails and Slicker suddenly sank, and then cracked.
Again?
The thought crossed Tails' mind.
In the next second, they both fell into the cracked underground.
I don't know if it was Rolf's ability or the effect of the explosion, but the air in the room began to whistle again, and the dust was raised, making it a fascinating sight.
Tails hugged the little slippery head tightly and closed his eyes tightly.
"Bang!"
He only felt a pain in his butt, and then he fell into a pile of soft sand with the little slippery head.
There was darkness all around.
Tails struggled to his feet, and beside him, the coughing of the little slippery head kept coming.
Overhead, there was the sound of a fierce fight in the cell where they had just stayed.
They weren't the only ones who fell.
"Your Highness!" a figure pulled him up, and Waiya's voice came anxiously, "Are you alright?"
Before Tails could reply, a dozen more figures fell from the sky and smashed into the sand.
In the dust, Tails clutched his mouth and nose tightly, endured the sharp pain in his buttocks and pulled up his little slippery head, feeling depressed: Why do these people like to play this so much!
"Go as planned!"
Nicolai's voice came from the darkness: "At the end of the secret passage, someone will answer!"
"Our people are coming to cut off!"
Before Tails could complain, he and Xiao Slippery were picked up by a tall and muscular figure one by one.
Xiao Slippery exclaimed.
"Damn it!"
Cohen's angry voice rang out above Tails' head: "It's too dark, I can't see the way!"
In the chaos, the sound of falling human bodies and fierce blade clashes continued to be heard overhead.
Soon, these voices were getting closer and closer.
"Starfaller!"
With another loud falling thud, the angry roar of the fiery knight Tulha came from behind him: "Stop them!"
A fierce metal clash rang out.
"Throw a few torches down!" was the voice of the Red Witch, who calmly ordered after such a big accident: "Anyone who wants to move their feet before this is an enemy!"
Tails felt a chill in his heart: the pursuers are coming.
"Follow that masked mute!" In the darkness and confusion, Nicolai roared as he engaged the enemy in the darkness, "He can feel the direction of the wind at the exit!"
"The mute?"
The vigilant officer took two steps and said impatiently: "I can't even see where he is!"
In the darkness, Tails felt only that Cohen's arm was about to stun him.
His Prison River sin was set in motion without warning.
Fluctuations flooded Tails' eyes, and a strange color suddenly appeared around him.
"Shut up, hunk!" Tails gritted his teeth and angrily tapped Cohen's arm, "Listen to me!"
The vigilante officer who was holding him was immediately beaten.
Tyers forced himself to calm down, and in the cluttered field of vision, he found Rolf's shimmering figure with a cyan glow, and then said to Cohen, "Five steps forward, no, your words are two steps and turn left!"
"Let's go!" Tails didn't feel the movement, he urged anxiously, "Don't be stunned!"
Cohen seemed to come back to his senses and followed Tails' steps.
"Wow," the officer asked, cautiously stepping, feeling the solidity under his feet, "can you see that?"
Tails was slightly stunned.
"Just eat more animal liver and fruit if you go straight ahead," Tails lied with an unchanging face in the vision of the sins of the Prison River:
"In the darkness, you can also find the light!"
In the darkness, Cohen nodded incredulously.
In a state of confusion, Cohen followed Rolf in the path Tails had pointed out.
The sound of the fight behind him became more and more intense.
In Tails' field of vision, a dozen of them followed Rolf and ran into a narrow tunnel in the dark.
"Nicolai!" Tulha's roar came again: "Don't even think about it!"
The next moment, a bright light suddenly shot from behind them, illuminating their surroundings clearly.
Tails narrowed his eyes and looked around.
The tunnel they were in was very small, dusty, and even the ground was uneven dirt and stone roads.
Rolf took the lead, with Tails and Little Slippery in Cohen's hands, Miranda and Wyaya close at his side, and everyone running nervously.
The White-Bladed Guards stood closely behind.
Only the Meteorite and Raphael were nowhere to be found.
The light behind him grew brighter and brighter.
Tails couldn't help but grab Cohen's arm and turn back.
Then he froze.
There was nothing behind them.
There was only a blazing fire.
It was as if an invisible giant fiery snake had rushed into this small tunnel of earth and rock, devouring them.
The temperature around suddenly increased.
"This is the Rising Japanese Saber!" the Meteorite roared behind him, "Damn, Secret, get out of the way if you don't want to be roasted!"
In the firelight, two figures appeared in the eyes of Tails, who had been transformed by the sins of the Hellriver.
One of the figures, the light on his body was like countless needles, scattering in all directions.
He pushed the other gray figure away.
Then, the hedgehog-like figure was presumably Nicolas slashing at the back of the tunnel.
The next moment, the fire snake seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and was blocked in front of the two of them.
It's like a vertical wall of fire.
This reminded Tails of the Air Wizard's wall of air.
But he could see clearly in his vision: what held the flames in the way was another strange, invisible barrier that glowed yellow.
Connected to Nicolai's Soul Breaker, which also glowed yellow.
"You can't run!" came the angry roar of the Fire Knight behind the flames.
"And the alchemy balls, the blasting kind?"
Before the firelight, the gray figure turned around and asked Nicolai beside him, "You can't stop it for long, they will catch up sooner or later!"
Tails heard it: it was Raphael.
"It's just the last stock of the Guards, use one less one!" In the vision of the Sins of Hell River, Nicolai, who looked like a glowing hedgehog, held the Soul Breaker Blade, firmly blocking the growing firelight.
"Is there really none?" Raphael's voice came.
"Do you think it's a snowball?" Nicolai turned his head and said angrily at the Mycotech, "You can pull one out of your hand?"
Raphael did not speak.
He jerked around and raised his left hand in the direction of the firelight.
A ball was thrown out by him.
"Damn!" Nicolas shouted angrily at the sight of the ball, "You should have said it earlier!"
Then he and Raphael both turned around and rushed to pounce.
At the moment when the Meteorite turned around, the raging flames seemed to have lost the barrier and surged fiercely.
The next second.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a violent explosion, Tails only felt a sudden shock in the field of vision in front of him!
Another burst of dust.
Everyone couldn't help coughing, and their steps were unsteady.
"Boom"
The rumbling explosion, accompanied by countless earth-rock pouring sounds, kept coming.
Everyone couldn't help but stop and turn their heads to look behind them.
The light of the fire gradually decreases until it disappears completely.
Disappeared with them, as well as the two figures.
Tails squinted his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise, he knew: the tunnel behind him had collapsed.
There was darkness and silence again.
Only the gasps of the crowd remained, one after another.
"Oh my God!"
It was Waiya's frightened voice: "They...... They ......"
"Don't stop, no matter what's going on, don't stop. It was an unfamiliar voice, probably of some white-bladed guard, and his words carried a long-suppressed anger.
"You go!"
Miranda's decisive voice sounded in the darkness: "I'll go find them!"
Cohen was stunned: "But"
In the next second, Miranda's light footsteps were far away.
"Don't be stunned!"
A white-bladed guard said coldly, "We are not out of danger yet!"
Cohen let out a reluctant breath, and Tails could feel him turn his head to stare at the darkness behind him.
"If you're not at ease," Tails sighed, "then go and see." ”
Tails felt Cohen's arm tighten.
"Let me take Your Highness with me," Wyaa gasped, "he can't be trapped here." ”
Cohen shook slightly.
A few seconds later.
"!" came out of the vigilante's mouth.
The next second, Cohen stomped his foot hard, then turned around and stepped away.
The group followed Rolf and hurried away silently.
They are constantly running.
In a tunnel that seems to have no end.
In a seemingly endless danger.
In the bottomless darkness.
Run to the only way to survive.
Tails stared blankly at the darkness behind him, the sins of the River of Hellriver converging in his eyes.
Minutes passed.
Finally, Tails' eyes moved.
In the deep darkness behind him, a hedgehog-like glowing figure appeared.
And then a gray figure.
and a figure that emits a white light.
"Because there is only one, of course you have to be cautious," Raphael's voice faintly came from the darkness: "I don't have the habit of shaking around with alchemy balls." ”
Nicola, Raphael, and Miranda followed.
"Oh my God!" Cohen heard Raphael's voice, and he turned his head, not even caring if he tripped under his feet, "I thought you were really buried in it!"
Beside Raphael, the Meteorite muttered something under his breath.
His voice, clearly in the jumble of footsteps, sounded like a "miser" to Tails' ears.
Tails breathed a sigh of relief.
They escaped.
"All right," Nicolas said, much calmer than before, "there should be no danger. ”
"We're in the secret passages after all. ”
A group of people probably knew that they were fleeing from danger, and their steps slowed down and turned into walking.
Tails and the little slippery head were put down.
Tails leaned against the wall, subconsciously beating his chest, his brain empty, only to feel that he had passed another level.
"Talk ......," Cohen's voice of confusion came from the darkness.
"Why don't you light a fire?"
The vigilante said impatiently, "Do you have to run away like a blind man?"
"The vents here aren't very good," Nicolai said lightly, "if you want to suffocate, of course you can." ”
Cohen was silent.
"That's right," in the dark, Huaiya leaned against the wall, gasping slightly, "Isn't this gate the defense line to protect Valhalla...... How can there be ...... A secret passage that you can sneak into?"
There was a moment of silence in the tunnel.
"Third Continental War," Nicolais' voice rang out, "the Nightwing King has taken over the rest of the city, leaving only the Axe District and Valhalla. ”
"In the case of Valhalla's isolation, blockade on all sides, and cut off supplies, this is the last chance of life dug up by the Northlanders. ”
"Whew," Cohen let out a breath, his tone full of joy that he had escaped the catastrophe:
"Thank you, Nightwing King, for how great you are. ”
Everyone was silent.
Even if he couldn't see it, Cohen felt the murderous gaze of the people of the Northland in a volley at that moment.
Miranda's elbow was heard in the darkness.
And Cohen's cries of pain.
"Well, I'll ......" A few seconds later, the embarrassed voice of the vigilante officer sounded: "Are you kidding?"
"After the war, this secret passage became a top secret, and even the dark room had to be hidden," Nicolai snorted disdainfully, "only the commanders of the White-Bladed Guards of the past generations knew about it. ”
In the darkness, the footsteps of the Star People suddenly rang in unison.
Even the footsteps of the White-Bladed Guards stopped.
Tails froze.
"Wait!"
The prince raised his head and looked at the pinprick-like figure in his field of vision, his tone full of surprise: "You mean, the commanders of the White Blade Guards of the past generations?"
Nicola said nonchalantly, "yes, what's wrong. ”
Cohen gasped.
Miranda sighed.
"Generations, commanders," Tails exhaled bitterly, "Is the term before you also considered a generation?"
Nicola's breath froze: "Huh?"
Raphael sensed that something was wrong, and his inquiring voice sounded behind him:
"Any questions?"
Tails turned his head, looking at the tunnel ahead of the tunnel in the view that the sins of the River of Hell's River had given him.
There is no end in sight to the darkness ahead.
As the only way for them to survive.
"Yes. ”
In the dark, I only heard Tails say weakly: "And ......"
"It's a big problem. Baidu search "Sanjiang Pavilion" to see the latest and most complete!
