Worst.

His Majesty Kessel and Lord Hansen......

Kingdom Secrets?

Tails subconsciously clenched his fists and glanced in the direction of the smaller and smaller backs of the royal guards.

Perhaps it was the king's fame that was shocking, or the reputation of the secret department was terrifying, as the knight's voice spread, the hundreds of cavalry under Roman's command, from the outer guards to the inner waiters, were in an uproar.

The two members of the Secret Branch on horseback were getting closer and closer.

No, there were more than two of them, and behind them, a dozen horses rolled in.

Tyers, who reacted, turned pale and turned to Roman in the distance:

"Hey, novice—I mean, Williams!"

He shouted, his tone full of anxiety:

"Maybe I can use my identity to delay ......"

But Roman reacted faster than he did!

"Panic what!"

The legendary wings ride on his white horse, and his earrings are swaying, and he is heroic.

As he urged his hooves forward, he roared angrily and shouted to his subordinates around him, suppressing their uneasiness:

"Do what you have to do!"

Roman slowly approached and glanced at Tails.

Tails was startled: at this moment, the Legendary Wings exuded an ominous emotion, and his expression was cloudy, as if thunder was imminent.

"The same goes for you. ”

He said coldly on the white horse.

The boy nodded subconsciously.

Only then did Roman raise his head and look at the dozen knights who were getting closer and closer

More than ten seconds later, more than a dozen members of the secret department on horseback finally galloped in front of Tails and skillfully dismounted:

The first person holding the scroll looked a little fat, and from a distance he looked quite happy, he was wearing a thin coat and turban common in the Western Wilderness, panting;

The second person who followed had burning eyes, a hard face, and a calm movement on the horse. But for some reason, Tails always felt that his upper lip and left chin were slightly red, as if he had been stained with some kind of lip gloss or other paint.

The knights behind them had different faces, but they were all dressed in different costumes: merchants, mercenaries, farmers, herdsmen, each different.

That's what it is......

Secret Branch?

Tails was wary.

The chubby man took the lead, struggling to lift the scroll in his hand higher.

"This is Lord Hansen's warrant of assignment, with His Majesty's signature on it......"

His Western Wilderness accent was heavy, and the calm and tough man behind him looked carefully at the young man behind the Wings of Legend.

Tails looked at the warrant, supposedly from the Black Prophet, with a headache and thought to himself that he hoped the former royal guards would run faster.

After all, neither they nor the fast rope are suitable beings to appear in the field of vision of the secret department.

As for here......

I hope that the little white face and him can drag on a little longer.

Roman snorted, kicked off the saddle neatly and gracefully, and casually took the scroll from the fat man's hand.

"So, who the fuck are you guys. ”

Compared to his handsome appearance, Roman spoke in a cold tone and used crude words.

There is no intention of greetings.

The tough man and the slightly chubby man were stunned for a moment, and the secret department behind them also had different expressions.

"Williams ......"

The slightly chubby man seemed to be holding back his impatience, and after he finished saying his name, he remembered something, and then he added the title:

"Baron, my lord. ”

Roman squinted at him.

"I'm one of the people sent by the Secret Branch to the Western Wilderness, you can call me Gomez. ”

The slightly chubby Gomez adjusted his breathing, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to the tough man behind him:

"We met a few times when this operation was arranged, maybe you don't remember, and this is my boss......"

But Roman's next move stunned everyone, including Tails.

I saw that the Wings of Legend calmly pulled open the secret warrant, but he didn't even look at it, but ...... it nonchalantly

Tear in two.

Gomez and his superiors, including a dozen of them from the secret department, frowned fiercely.

Tails raised his eyebrows and bowed his head slightly, feeling something bad.

"I know who you are. ”

The Wings of Legends' eyes were like ice, and he said in a cold voice in front of everyone in the secret department, while continuing to tear the scroll into smaller pieces without paying attention:

"I mean ......"

"Who the fuck do you think' you are?"

The faces of the two leaders of the secret department froze.

The Wings of Legend tore four or five times in a row, until Myco's warrant turned into countless shreds of paper, which he sneered and scattered.

"That's it...... Command me?"

Fragments of the warrant were scattered and returned to the earth with the sand.

the groove.

Tails stared at the scraps of paper all over the floor, with mixed feelings.

Is it so arrogant?

The Wings of Legend looked disdainfully at the Mystic Scholar in front of him, with a hint of danger in his eyes.

The people of the secret department looked at the confetti on the ground, and their eyes turned into hostility when they looked at Roman.

"There is also His Majesty's signature on it......"

Gomez watched the other party's disrespectful behavior, his breath became short, he clenched his fists, and his cheeks trembled with anger.

But just as Gomez was about to have a seizure, his boss grabbed the former's shoulder from behind.

"I believe this is His Highness Tails?"

Tails' eyes moved when his name was called.

The tough-faced man, half a head taller than Gomez, with a desert scimitar hanging from his waist, pulled Gomez back, stepped forward himself, and bowed.

The secret department behind him, including Gomez, also bowed in unison.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, when we meet for the first time, I am the supreme person in charge of the Kingdom Secret Department in the Western Wilderness, Norbu. ”

Nobu's voice was a little rougher, and although it was tainted with some Western Wilderness accents, Tails could hear it clearly, and he could clearly recognize from his words and habits that the other party seemed to be from the center collar.

Tails took a deep breath.

Damn it.

Secret science, secret department, secret department.

And yes, the supreme person in charge of the Western Wilderness......

"Uh, hello?"

Tails held his head up and pulled at some of the holes on his body in embarrassment, twisting the bruises on his face to the backlight, trying to maintain the majesty of a prince.

Nobu, who looked obviously more composed than Gomez, raised his head and said in a respectful tone:

"Your Highness, welcome home, it seems that my comrades' rescue operation in the Northland has been successful. ”

His eyes were sharp:

"But for the sake of the kingdom, I still have a few small questions......"

A little question......

Worst.

What will he ask?

Behind the dunes, the escaped prisoners of the Prison of Bones?

But just as Tails was struggling with how to deal with the mystical people in front of him, so that they could ignore the backs that were slowly departing in the distance, Roman held him down.

"Boy, go to the back. ”

Wings of Legend unceremoniously interrupted Nobu.

"Let the adults speak. ”

This made the faces of the two members of the secret department change again.

In the past, Tails might have been upset with Roman's tone, but this time, he was genuinely grateful to Roman for interjecting and saving him.

Tails pretended to be sick and sick, and took a few steps back from the donkey.

Let Roman confront Nobu in the secret department.

Nobu's face was a little ugly, but he still bowed politely:

"Thank you, Lord Williams, for your tireless efforts to bring back the Prince and make another contribution to the Kingdom. ”

It's a pity that his politeness probably hit the iron plate.

"If you have something to say," Wings of Legend hummed,

"There's a fart. ”

Nobu's expression froze.

Gomez behind him frowned even more angrily.

But at this time, I don't know whether he saw the back of the royal guards or the departing swords of Calamity, Gomez's face changed greatly, and he pointed to a group of people retreating on foot in the distance, and ordered to the people behind him:

"No, Nobu, those are leaving!"

"Go and stop them first......"

The men of the secret department were apparently well-trained, and before Gomez could finish speaking, they all pulled the reins on their horses, ready to intercept the people who were far away.

Tails was shocked.

Damn it!

It doesn't matter if it's the Royal Guard or the Sword of Calamity that is discovered......

Gotta stop them first.

But just as he was about to stand up and use his identity to delay time, Wings of Legends suddenly waved his hand!

"Puff, puff......"

In the next second, the sound of countless horses' hooves hitting the sand sounded!

Nobu and Gomez's faces changed, and they subconsciously turned back!

I saw the hundreds of cavalry under Roman rolling like a wave, galloping swiftly!

The fierce-faced cavalry formed a loose but unignorant, galloping back and forth circular formation in a dozen seconds, separated by a distance of dozens of feet, surrounding the secret department, swords unsheathed, bows and crossbows wound.

Full of murderous opportunities.

"Puff, puff......"

The horse's hooves were rolling, the smoke and dust were billowing, and the people in the secret department were shocked, and subconsciously grabbed their weapons.

"Baron?"

Nobu looked at Roman in disbelief.

The latter snorted coldly.

"Here, the only one who has the right to command," Wings of Legend lowered his hand and looked coldly at the people in front of him:

"It's just me. ”

"Got it?"

Gomez was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth:

"No, you're ......"

But Nobu pressed Gomez back again, and he leaned over and bowed his head:

"My lord, we have no intention of offending, let alone interfering with your command,"

"Just about tonight's joint operation," Nobu seemed to realize something, and his tone was very humble:

"Kingdom Secret, I have a few questions to ask. ”

Roman glanced at him lightly and turned to the smoking camp in the distance:

"Questions?"

"So, you're going to interrogate me?" he said softly.

Nobu forced a smile:

"No, just a discussion. ”

As if fearing that the other party would not believe him, Norbu immediately turned back and instructed his men:

"Everyone, dismount and step back. ”

In the hesitant and nervous eyes of the subordinates of the secret department, Nobu smiled:

"We just need a little space and time to talk to Lord Baron privately. ”

With the exception of Gomez, the people of the secret department looked at each other, and finally dismounted, took the reins, and retreated to a safe distance.

The cavalry of the Wings of Legend immediately changed their formation, divided into dozens of horses, and came closely, almost as if they were watching, waiting for them to lead their horses into the distance.

Nobu looked back at Roman with a serious look in his eyes.

As if waiting for something.

Legendary Wings snorted, then raised his right arm and made a gesture.

"Puff, puff......"

The sound of horses' hooves changed again.

The cavalry surrounding the crowd was then sheathed with their swords, bows and crossbows wound, and slowly retreated under the orders of the commander.

The clearing returned to calm, and the tension relaxed.

"Grass, those people ......"

Gomez, who was powerless, looked at the mercenaries and royal guards who were getting farther and farther away, and slapped his thigh fiercely.

Tails also unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the conflict subsided, Nobu, who was calm, nodded.

"According to the original plan, Lord Baron, we will 'consolidate' the loyalty and obedience of the nobles of the Western Wilderness in the unfortunate death of the Blade Fang Camp. ”

By the way, we took advantage of this false impression that "the camp is empty and there is an opportunity to take advantage of" to lure and incite the people entrenched here to sweep away the western front. ”

Nobu looked at Roman calmly, his eyes burning.

"Of course, you are the key person and commander of the operation, and the secret department is there to assist you. ”

Tails, who was listening to their conversation, subconsciously pulled the package.

Really.

But Roman just squinted his eyes and replied nasal without care:

"Uh-huh. ”

His expression was calm and his posture was awe-inspiring.

Obviously, the arrogance of the Wings of Legend displeased the chubby Gomez, but Nobu continued unfazed:

"But we lay in ambush for the middle of the night, and except for a few unimportant minions, we only caught a certain Northland nobleman at the door of the Bone Prison who insisted that he had met His Majesty Kessel and that he could obtain diplomatic immunity. ”

His tone was unwilling.

Tails frowned:

That's Russell.

represents...... King Chaman.

"And a well-connected tavernkeeper, mercenary agent, and, of course, Lord Baron, we believe that after beating that Tampa, the camp's long-established and intertwined mercenaries will be much more peaceful, and your rule will be more stable and smooth. ”

As he spoke, Nobu observed the expression of the Wings of Legends, his words carefully worded, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Tavern owner.

Tails was worried again:

Tampa has a lot to do with the fast rope, in case he shakes something out......

But Roman still only responded with a faint nasal voice:

"Uh-huh. ”

It's like the portraits on canvas that are full of gestures but still and motionless.

Nobu frowned slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

This time, he said earnestly and cautiously:

"But we didn't catch the drill. ”

Drills.

Tails clenched his fists.

"He's a big target for us to track down in the near future, and may be in possession of a significant portion of the Shadow Shield, including their deployment at the Stellar Frontier and within Exter. ”

"And secrets about the other higher-ups in the Shadow Shield. ”

Nobu's expression was very serious, and there was unwillingness in his eyes.

"And we didn't wait for the mysterious mercenaries hired by you, my lord, to defect from the Tower of End. ”

Nobu said, looking suspiciously at the mercenaries with swords and swords in the distance, and were about to leave their sight.

"According to the plan, because the Sword of Calamity has a large number of people and an incredible combat power, it must be taken as soon as the net is closed. ”

"And they're no less valuable than Shadow. ”

Nobu stared at Roman as if he wanted him to react.

But the Wings of Legend just continued to stare at the smoking camp and didn't reply.

Gomez couldn't take it anymore, and he opened his mouth to take the words of his boss:

"Look, neither of our two goals has come up! and you're not even carrying out the plan you said you had planned, so it could only be—"

But he wasn't done.

"I guess!"

Again, Nobu interrupted Gomez while warning his subordinates with a stern look:

"It must be that you have encountered an unexpected emergency that you did not have time to notify us, so you had to change the deployment of the operation?"

Legendary Wings is still unmoved.

But Nobu's eyes were blazing, and he glanced at Tails:

"You opened a secret exit that was only used in an emergency for some reason, like to save the prince?"

"So that the target accidentally escaped from our net?"

It was as if he was asking something.

Net.

Tails remembered: whether it was Ricky or Semir, after the Swords of Calamity descended to the dungeon, whether they faced the Shadow Shield or faced them, the attitude from beginning to end was "don't go back to the surface".

He understood something.

This time, the Wings of Legend finally reacted.

"So when you have finished collecting your nets and leaving the camp, you have come after you. ”

He turned his head and glanced at the solemn Nobu and the angry Gomez.

"It's not too stupid. ”

Nobu exhaled from his nose and seemed to suppress a wave of emotion:

"Alright, the Sword of Calamity is over......"

"But the hammer of the Shadow Shield, I guess it's in your hands, right?"

Roman suddenly sneered, as if breaking the sunlight of the iceberg.

"Don't worry. ”

"I took care of him. ”

Nobu's eyes shrank:

"'Processing'?"

Wings of Legend turned around and tapped the huge skull on his left shoulder, the delicate earrings of his left ear swaying lightly with his movements:

"That chisel of yours, as I happen to find out, is the mastermind of the Scarlet Years plot against Prince Hayman and the Poison Blade Fang camp. ”

"So I gave it to him...... A well-deserved punishment. ”

Tails and Nobu moved at the same time.

"Punishment?"

Nobu frowned, glancing at Gomez.

Wings of Legend turned to the side and gestured to a clearing in the distance:

"If you want him, at least most of the ————'s body, please. ”

Nobu and Gomez looked in the direction and saw a headless male corpse in the clearing, half-sunk into the sand.

"As for the rest - sorry, I'm going to collect it. ”

Even though Tails had seen many dead people, the corpse of the drill that had been "processed" by Roman was too imaginative:

The area above the shoulders was a mess, stained with red and white unidentified fluid and severed soft tissue (such as eyeballs), which did not look like a human form, making him want to gag.

The moment they saw the target's corpse, Nobu and Gomez's faces instantly turned pale, and Nobu even shook his figure!

No.

"That's, that's really ......" Gomez is unbelievable.

"He's dead?" Nobu gritted his teeth, no less emotional than Gomez.

Legendary Wings snorted coldly and turned around:

"When you go back, tell your father and tell Kessel: revenge, no thanks. ”

Tails rubbed his nose and looked away.

The two of them were short of breath, and they automatically ignored each other's words of calling the king by his first name, and just stared at the corpse of the drill in amazement.

A whole few seconds.

With that unwilling look, even Tails couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

The wind and sand are blowing, and the morning light is everywhere.

But the two of them in the secret department looked back with grim faces like dead mothers.

"I see......"

Tails could see that Nobu was holding back the unhappiness and anger in his heart:

"So, my lord, as for the group of sword sellers, who were hired by you to do the dirty work, have they also been 'disposed of'?"

Legendary Wings glanced sarcastically at Tyres.

"They have the prince in their hands, so, yes, I can only let them go. ”

Tails had to cooperate with Roman, and showed a fast-rope smirk at the suspicious Nobu.

"Prince......

"Let them go?"

Norbu clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to do so.

But Gomez, who was behind him, couldn't help but shout:

"No way, you obviously have overwhelming troops......"

But once again, Nobu held Gomez down extremely quickly.

Gomez shut his mouth in resentment, but he didn't hide the disgust in his eyes.

"Lord Baron!"

Nobu struggled to bite the words out between his teeth:

"I know that Your Majesty trusts you, and I know that he has given you great autonomy in this operation......"

"But for this ...... Imperfect arrest operations. ”

Nobu stared fiercely at the corpse of the drill, as if in great pain:

"I suppose that both the Kingdom Secret Branch and Lord Hansen may need an explanation from you. ”

At that moment, Tails seemed to feel the temperature around him drop a little.

"Explain?"

I saw the Legendary Wings raise his head with a dangerous expression.

"For example?"

Nobu pressed Gomez, who was so angry, that he was smoking, and gasped:

"My lord, whether it is the Shadow Shield or the Sword of Calamity, they are of high value and have a lot of stakes involved, and some of them even involve the plans and actions that our secret department has carried out for months, years, or even longer. ”

"And you shouldn't arbitrarily 'deal with it', but control them and let us take care of it!"

"This is the act of loyalty to the kingdom and to His Majesty!"

Nobu's voice fell.

The Wings of Legend remained motionless.

Gomez clenched his fists hard.

"Of course, now that the hammer is dead, this is irreparable," Nobu saw that the other party was unmoved, and there was a hint of anxiety in his tone, and he pointed into the distance:

"But I can see that the sword of calamity is still in sight. ”

Tails let out a breath:

If Ricky and his men fall into the hands of Myko, then Semir, including the royal guards with whom they have dealing......

Nobu gritted his teeth, and his tone softened:

"And as far as I know, the Stardust Guards under your command are the top elite of the light cavalry, interspersed with pursuit and invincible, charging into the top desert ......"

Nobu said anxiously and seriously:

"Your Excellency, as long as we stop them, we still have a chance...... Make up for. ”

Legendary Wings looked up in the distance in the direction where the Swords of Calamity had vanished.

He was silent for a few seconds.

In just a few seconds, it made Tails extremely nervous.

Finally, Roman turned around, lifted his steps, and walked slowly.

"Tell me, boy. ”

He looked at Nobu's eyes sharper and sharper:

"Are you teaching me?"

Nobu was stunned.

"Teach me how to do my job?" said Roman arrogantly.

Teach me.

Nobu understood something, and his face turned pale.

The next second, he took a deep breath:

"Of course not, I'm just ......"

Roman interrupted him with a snort:

"That's good. ”

He said word by word:

"And I'm telling you now: let — he—they—go. ”

Nobu froze, his clenched fists began to tremble.

As if stoicing something.

Gomez also bit his lower lip fiercely.

Wings of Legend turned his gaze and looked at the Bladefang camp from afar, which had been chaotic for a long time:

"Just do it. ”

He turned around, leaving behind the two members of the Secret Branch, who were trembling with rage.

But the next moment, just when Tails thought it was going to end like this......

"Roman Williams!"

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

Hearing the full name, Roman froze slightly.

Standing tall, he slowly turned his head.

But unexpectedly, this time, the person who spoke out was not an indignant, slightly chubby Gomez.

It's his boss.

The calm, humble and polite Nobu.

"Are you sure you're going to let them go?"

I saw Nobu's eyes glaring and his face gloomy.

Gomez behind him was taken aback.

Legendary Wings frowned, as if seeing something strange:

"Are you deaf, or are you stupid?"

Nobu closed his eyes and took three deep breaths.

"No, I'm just ......"

Gomez, behind him, seemed to realize something, and pressed his shoulder:

"Nobu, you ......"

In the next second, Nobu opened his eyes suddenly!

"I'm just fed up with it!"

Tails discovers that the previously calm head of the Secret Scibarland, Nobu, is gone.

In his place was an angry man trembling and gritting his teeth:

"Wings of Legends, the three marshals of the stars?"

"Are you really worthy?"

"Just because you like to kill, you like blood, you like to carve human skulls as ornaments?"

Tails frowned.

Legendary Wings seemed to be shocked by this sentence, and he was silent for a second before slowly speaking:

"Oh. ”

The Wings of Legend seems to be chewing on this phrase:

"What do you mean?"

Nobu took a step forward, stared at the outworldly Roman, and was categorical:

"I mean. ”

"In the more than ten years since I came to the Western Wilderness. ”

"Roman Williams, you girl-like ......"

"In addition to relying on His Majesty's tolerance and negligence, in the Blade Tooth camp, he went his own way, was arrogant and self-authorizing, ceded his own land, disregarded orders, and was arrogant and powerful......"

Nobu's eyes seemed to erupt with anger:

"Have you ever done anything good?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else present was shocked.

I go my own way, arrogant and self-authorized......

ceding land for one's own and ignoring orders......

Flying and domineering, mighty and blessed......

the groove.

The barrage of descriptions — or accusations — was an eye-opener for Tails.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he frowned at the motionless Wings of Legend, recalling his impressions of him.

Well, it seems......

Nothing wrong with that?

Gomez, who was behind Nobu, seemed to be frightened by his boss, and he hugged Nobu's chest from behind and tried to drag him back:

"Nobu, you're crazy, stop talking about it......"

But Wings of Legend waved his hand to stop him, his eyes revealing a rare interest:

"No, no, no, let him speak. ”

Roman stared at the angry Nobu and walked back slowly:

"I like to hear different opinions. ”

"They are beneficial. ”

"Make me more ......"

Legendary Wings licked his lips, and with his handsome face, he looked even more mysterious and delicate:

"Excited. ”

At that moment, Tails smelled something bad in the air.
