Chapter 177: Two Hands
Sakel and Barney Jr.'s seemingly close showdown lasted only a few minutes.
The next second as Naki's words fell, Sakel pressed his whole body.
Bite!
With a piercing thud, his blade was jammed at an eerie angle by Saker's axe.
Barney's pupils shrank.
"You fight like a northerner," Sakel crossed his left arm diagonally upwards, unmistakably gripping his opponent's forward shield:
"The idea is still the star people. β
Barney Jr. gritted his teeth against the strength of the other party, and the two faced each other in a stalemate, trembling slightly.
"You know, the Yankees have no distractions......"
In the battle for power, Saker leaned towards little Barney, who was close at hand, and shook his head expressionlessly:
"Never hesitated. β
To everyone's exclamations, Sakel suddenly let go of the axe handle and let Barney's blade slash across his shoulder, bringing out blood!
The next moment, little Barney, who had not had time to celebrate the victory, only felt that his feet were empty, and he couldn't dodge, so he was taken advantage of Saker's strength, stopped his waist and abdomen, and lifted his whole body!
Damn it!
Little Barney was so angry that he only had time to think about it, and he was thrown to the ground by Sacrael.
Boom!
In severe pain, dizzy little Barney knew that the tide was over. Bitterly shouted:
"Nai, Tardin!"
At this moment, two piercing winds approached from behind Sakel's head!
In a flash of lightning, Sakel dodged in a hurry, avoiding the two life-saving darts fired from Nai's hand.
When he turned back, he was greeted by Tardin's merciless blades and blades!
The trajectory of Tardin's sword was so strange that Sakel, who was forced to take a few steps back and pick up a war hammer left behind by a mercenary.
Barney Jr. took the opportunity to stumble to his feet and roll out of the war zone in embarrassment, where he was held up by Belletti.
"How's that?" Beretti asked calmly.
"He's not as neat as he used to be, and so is his fitness," Barney Jr. gasped softly, watching Tardin, who had replaced him against Sakel, "and he had a new injury on his back, which made his movements a little sluggish. β
The prisoners of the royal guard gathered around to regain their weapons for Barney Jr., listening intently to the exchange between the vanguard and the penistor.
"Very well, so we have a chance?"
Semir asked, squinting as he touched his sword.
Tails watched their brief exchange and suddenly realized that it was like a small military meeting in war.
Barney Jr. glanced at his colleagues and was silent.
After a few seconds, he shook his head in the disappointed eyes of everyone, "I don't think so. β
"His instincts and consciousness are still clear. β
"You can turn a weakness into an advantage at any time. β
Little Barney took the sword and shield handed by Brie and coughed vigorously: "I even suspect that he just deliberately let me find the wound on his back and lure me to attack the side, and then you all saw it, if I didn't attack that sword, maybe I wouldn't have ...... so soon"
Everyone was in unison.
On the other side, Sakel and Tardin's movements were getting faster and faster, the latter's attack was strange and urgent, and the sound of weapons clashing was like wind chimes.
"So what do we do. Belletti's expression remained unchanged, like a hill that didn't move.
Barney Jr. watched Tardin's movements closely.
"Tardin's movements are very thief, he can delay time, but ......"
He didn't say anything more, but Tails could feel that the mood of the guards was down.
Barney Jr. shook his head and stood up, his eyes sharpened:
"I'll go and replace him later, this time there is no temptation, I will kill him at any cost. β
No matter the cost......
As soon as these words came out, Belletti and the others all sank, and Semir also frowned.
"Barney......" Naki hesitated, and stopped talking.
But Barney Jr. has a resolute face and does not give anyone a chance to refute.
"What's more, I'll force him to get out of the way, and you take the opportunity to take His Royal Highness the prince and run upwards," he turned to Tails, making the boy's heart tighten:
"Until you escape from the prison of bones and escape to the surface. β
Everyone suddenly looked different:
Semir frowned and folded his arms, Belletti was silent, Brie blushed and his neck broke, and Naki and Cannon looked at each other, depressed.
Looking at their appearance, Tails had a bad premonition.
"Good, let's run away. Semir shook his head sarcastically.
These words were faintly heard in the fierce battle between Sakel and Tardin, but they were as heavy as a thousand pounds in the ears of everyone.
Barney Jr. ignored Samir's taunts.
He was silent for a moment, then spoke again:
"If Nai and I don't make it and he catches up with you again......"
He calmly glanced at each of them and said slowly:
"The next order of topping is Semir, Cannon, then Brie, Naki, and finally Belletti......"
Hearing this, Tails' heart sank.
Top up......
They're going to ......
"Each opponent has a different fighting style, and there is a lot of variation between replacements, and it takes time for Saqel to get used to it, and it can drag on for a long time......"
Semir snorted coldly:
"How long?"
Barney Jr. jerked his head back:
"As long as you can!"
He coldly cut off SΓ©mir: "Do you understand, second flag bearer, or are you not satisfied that you are in first place?"
Semir snorted softly, and said no more.
Tails noticed that Barney Jr.'s address to Semir was no longer a "coward."
The young man looked at these people with branded faces, ragged and dirty, but serious expressions, and couldn't help but speak:
"In fact, we can do a little bit of a favor too......"
But Barney Jr. unceremoniously rejects him.
"No, you must escape, Your Highness," Barney Jr. put his arm on Tails' shoulder, a slight emotion in his eyes, "flee to Camp Bladetooth and borrow your identity to find the army." β
Tails frowned.
Barney Jr. solemnly turned to Sakel in the fierce fight:
"Let them use the iron hooves of the cavalry and the magic guns - to seek justice and clear their grievances. β
The people of the guard were breathing hard,
Naki opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Tails couldn't hold back any longer, he shook off the hand that pulled him back with the fast rope and took a step forward:
"Are you really going to die here?"
Barney Jr. smacked lightly.
"Dead?"
"Of course not. β
He turned around and glanced at the dim scene of the White Bone Prison, and let out a long sigh of relief with a complicated expression:
"Today, we are 'alive' here. β
The tone was gloomy.
Tails was stunned.
Hearing this, the guards, who had been fluctuating slightly, seemed to be dumb, and fell silent at the same time.
"And I am honored to fight alongside you, Guards," Barney Jr. sighed softly as he turned his back to them, his sword gripping his hilt to his heart.
"May the legacy be immortal and the empire eternal. β
There was silence.
Behind Barney Jr., Belletti raised her fist expressionlessly and slammed it lightly into her heart.
In addition to Semir, the guards raised their fists and smashed their chests as well.
Looking at their appearance, Tails only felt his chest tighten.
Before the slightly stunned Tails could adjust, in the next second, Barney Jr. exploded in speed and swept towards the battlefield!
"Tardin!"
He burst out!
Tardin, who had been gradually declining, stepped back without hesitation when he heard this, and turned out of the battlefield in a not very good-looking pose.
Sakel frowned and turned, and immediately met Barney Jr. again.
"Come, let's put an end to this, watchman!"
Clang!
The blades touched, and Barney Jr.'s expression was hideous.
This time, his movements were obviously much more dangerous than just now, opening and closing widely, not caring about himself at all!
This made Sakel feel terrified, and that sense of danger hit his heart again.
He knew that this time, the opponent was serious.
"From now on, I will take over the command of the Pioneer Officer. β
On the other side, Naki had just held Tardin, who was sweating profusely, when Belletti spoke decisively to everyone:
"Barney will give us a chance to break through, and we will take advantage of the situation to rush to the ladder, don't worry about anything, go all out, and if Sakel stops one of them......"
He glanced at everyone, and the answer was self-evident.
The guards took one look at Saqel in the field and went into action.
Tails was grabbed by Belletti's arm and pulled forward.
He felt uncomfortable watching Little Barney, who had almost given up his defense and frantically stormed Sakel with his will to die, and Nai, who had been grabbing beside him, pinching the dart intently.
Do you have...... Is there a better way?
But at this moment, the other arm reached out out of thin air and pressed Beretti's shoulder!
Stop him and Tails from moving on.
Tails couldn't help but be surprised, and the others were also stunned.
Belletti frowned and looked at the person who stopped him in confusion:
"Semir, you-"
"If we do what Barney Jr. does, we're all going to die. Semir said coldly.
He turned to Tails, his eyes shining:
"Including him. β
Semir's warning look sent a chill in Tails' heart.
Belletti was stunned for a moment, he glanced at Barney Jr., who was attacking like a madman, and then he was angry:
"That's the best way, and it's the order of the vanguard officer......
But before he could finish speaking, he was violently interrupted by Semir:
"We'll have to climb eighteen floors to get to the ground!"
I saw SΓ©mir pointing at Sakel and saying categorically:
"And there are six of us left, even if we don't die on the ground one by one, can we hold him back for even six minutes?"
Belletti was stunned.
"You've been a penistor with him, Beretti, and you've brought a number of special prisoners from the royal capitalβhe's familiar with the terrain and will catch up sooner or later. β
"That's not a good idea, think about it with your sanity, we can't escape. β
Semir looked at each one sternly:
"There has to be another way out. β
There is no escape.
Belletti fell silent.
He knew that what the other party said was true.
Others were also stunned.
Find another way out.
Tails' heart moved.
Belletti was taciturn but strong-tempered, and he watched Semir's behavior with displeasure, and was about to have a seizure, but Tails suddenly spoke:
"You mean, you have an idea?"
Semir nodded, pointing to the stone steps:
"Down to the bottom, I know a path, a mysterious exit...... Sakel didn't know that perhaps our only chance of life. β
Tails' eyes lit up:
"You mean, another exit to the Prison of Bones, built by the mages of the Alchemy Tower?"
Alchemy Tower.
Belletti frowned, glancing at Tardin.
Semir turned to the other prisoners, his tone slightly impatient:
"Believe me, that's the way we, the Swords of Calamity, were prepared, and our leader is doing everything well, and if he says there is, it must be true. β
Berletti looked at him suspiciously:
"And your chief...... What about others?"
Semir was stunned.
He looked at Tails with a complicated face:
"Ask him. β
Tails raised an eyebrow and subconsciously carried the sword in his hand behind his back.
He reluctantly smiled and changed the subject: "That...... It should be true, the Shadow Shield and they used to fight over this matter. β
"Are you sure that exit will work?"
Semir gasped, ignoring the displeased eyes of everyone around him:
"Ricky has found the Black Cell, hasn't he?"
"Even if it doesn't work, if you are overtaken, you will die on the way up the stairs or on the way down the stairs...... Which would you rather choose?"
Tails frowned, looking past the two men to the stairs behind them.
Up......
Down......
In the middle of the battle, Barney Jr.'s fatal blow hit Sakel hard in the ribs, only to be hit by one of his knees, and the two of them retreated at the same time.
"I know what you're going to do," Saker glanced at the crowd in the distance, and glanced at the stone steps behind him:
"That won't work. β
Across from him, little Barney trembled and held his shield, feeling the numbness of his hands and feet.
Worst.
The battle was harder than he had imagined.
Sakel knew his determination, so he kept in front of the stone steps, not giving them any chance, and was ready to use the safest and least labor-saving way......
Grind him off.
"As long as I kill you," Barney Jr. said through gritted teeth.
"It works. β
Have to...... Fight for opportunities.
He pounced again!
On the other side, Belletti was silent for a while, but still shook her head:
"Barney is doing everything he can to give us a chance, and the path he chooses may be hopeless, but I won't risk the Prince's life with you......"
Semir stepped forward, pressed Beletti's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Knowing that it is a mortal order, and still stubbornly moving forward, this is stupid!"
Belletti's eyes were on fire and she pushed Semir away!
"Penistor Belletti," Tails spoke, seeing that the two were about to fight:
"Maybe it's worth a try β he's right, we can't run away. β
Belletti's face changed:
"Your Highness!"
But Tails shook his head and clenched the sword in his hand.
"In the name of Bright Star, I only released you today. β
"Rather than watching you die one by one," Tails looked into the distance, his eyes dark:
"I'd rather take risks. β
His words stunned everyone present, and even Belletti, who was in a hurry to refute, was speechless.
Fast Rope exhaled and shrugged:
"Ah, that's him. β
The guards fell silent.
At this time, Barney Jr. roared angrily, and the whole person crashed into Saker, and the two of them rolled together!
"Wherever we go, we must go,"
Tardin, who had been paying attention to the battle, grabbed the sword in his hand and felt something:
"Now is the time when Barney's attack is at its strongest, and Saqel may not be able to free up his hands to stop us. β
Belletti glared, looked at Semir, and then at Tails, as if hesitating.
Naki interjected cautiously:
"I think Your Highness has a point. β
"And...... I hate climbing stairs, and I hate being chased up stairs. β
Belletti's brow tightened.
Instead of paying attention to the hesitant guards, Tails turned to the two men in the battle, his face tense.
"If we're going to go down, is it possible to save Barney and Nai?"
Belletti pursed her lips and looked unbearable:
"Your Highness, but...... They were ready to die here. β
Tails clenched his fists.
Semir snorted coldly:
"Sacael is not a hound who will run away if he throws a frisbee. β
He looked at the increasingly fierce battle, and said in a cold voice:
"Somebody has to hold him backβbefore he can break us up. β
Hold him back......
Tails stared at Sakel and frowned fiercely.
"You just said that the key to the Thousand Armies of Chaos lies in transcending ordinary people's perception, observation, and attention?"
Belletti sighed:
"Yes. But Your Highness, please think twice......"
The boy, however, ignored him, and turned to the others, muttering:
"Perceive, Observe......"
Tails suddenly looked up and glanced at everyone:
"Is Sakael invincible?"
"No one can defeat him, defeat the Knight of Punishment?"
The prisoners of the Guard looked at each other.
Quite a few were clearly still in Semir and Belletti, struggling with the disagreement between command and adventure.
"Yes. β
At this moment, Naki spoke quietly:
"Sakel's battle for fame, and there is a follow-up. β
Subsequent?
Tails narrowed his eyes.
Naki shrugged, "It's still Big Barney who said ......"
"When the young Saqel knocked out forty opponents and made the Northlanders look like dirt, the uncle came. β
Tyersch:
"Uncle...... What uncle?"
The prisoners of the guard looked at each other.
Naki looked up and glanced at Saker, who was at odds with Barney Jr.:
It was the only defeat of Saker's life, the enemy he cared about the most, and the shame he kept deep in his heart - he challenged each other twice in the decades since, but he failed to win. β
Tails froze.
The only defeat?
Naki looked at Sakel, who was calm in the distance, and sighed:
"Not only because of the defeat, but also because of the enemy's skills, bloodline, identity - in short, everything that uncle has made Sakel extremely concerned and embarrassed. β
The enemy you care about the most.
Tails rolled his eyes.
"The most important thing is to ...... in front of everyone before they fight"
Before Naki had finished speaking, he said like a bard, with a faint sigh and pity:
"That legendary uncle, he said this to the young and vigorous Saker......"
One word......
Listening to Naki's words, Tails' pupils slowly constricted.
Seconds later, Barney struggled to withstand Saker's counterattack and took a few steps back.
He had just managed to inflict a sword wound on Sakel, but he couldn't keep his immobile opponent out of place.
Damn, if this continues, they can't find a breakthrough......
At this time.
"Kaslan Rumba!"
A teenager's voice rang out, high-pitched and sharp, floating in the dungeon.
"Remember him?"
Little Barney, who was thinking, was stunned for a moment.
Hearing that name, Saqel, who was confronting him, trembled!
An unfading face appeared in front of his eyes.
The Knight of Punishment glanced at little Barney, who was gasping, and looked back at Tails standing in front of the guards.
Belletti's expression was extremely tense, and Semir was preoccupied.
But none of this compares to Tails' next words.
Tails stared at Sakel and whispered, "Caslan is dead, dead at the hands of his apprentice. β
Sakel's eyes slowly widened.
Kaslan.
Caslan Rumba......
The Knight of Punishment's heartbeat slowly quickened.
"Dead ...... Dead?" he asked, seemingly unconsciously.
"Yes, the earth-shaking Kaslan is dead. β
I saw Tails take a deep breath and slowly step forward:
"But the one who defeated himβthe strongest man in the invincible and invincible Western Continent, the 'Starfall' of the White-Bladed Guards, Seri Nicola, ......"
Sakel stared at Tails silently, his expression becoming confused.
It's like going back in time.
Tails let out a breath and pressed his heartbeat faster and faster:
"He has not forgotten you, forgotten the opponents of his teacher. β
"During the days you were in prison, he asked someone to bring a message to the royal guards. β
Tails stared at the confused Saker, gritted his teeth, and said:
A phrase you are familiar with. β
Unsurprisingly, he saw Sakel's eyebrows slowly tighten.
A ......
Very familiar......
Speech?
Tails took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.
Imagine the old man who invited him to drink in the tavern six years ago, and imagine the latter's heroic and majestic appearance.
"Come on, little boy of the South. β
Seeing that Tails was calm and relaxed, he put his hands behind his back and said in a rough and contemptuous voice:
"I can make you ...... Two hands. β
At that moment, it was as if time had stopped.
Sakel stared at Tails stiffly, motionless, as if unconscious.
"No ......"
He shuddered and muttered.
"No ......"
Sakel lowered his head, and the whole person slowly lifted his chest, the green tendons in his neck rose up, and the muscles in his arms formed inch by inch.
"No ......"
Looking at the Punishment Knight with his head down and whispering, Tails subconsciously swallowed his throat.
An unprecedented chill rose from the soles of his feet.
The Sins of the River roared uneasily in his veins.
Immediately after, a heart-rending roar exploded in the dungeon!
"No!"
Before Tails could react, the hideous roaring Sakel instantly burst out and rushed towards him like a landslide and tsunami!
"Kaslanβ"
The momentum is amazing!
Tails' scalp was cold, and the guards behind him were about to move, when two strong winds rang out from behind Sakel.
But the Punishment Knight, whose eyes were as red as beasts, seemed to have long eyes behind his back, and the war hammer in his hand flew behind him as if unintentionally, and Barney's life-killing sword deflected in response, crashing into a dart fired by Nai from the other side!
Only one scar was left on his back.
At that moment, in his eyes, there was only the figure in front of him.
The man who had laughed at him with his hands behind his back, his chest held high, and mocked him with contempt.
"-Rumba!"
Trample!
Sakel's expression was hideous and fierce, and the momentum was irresistible!
At that moment, Tails felt the endless boiling of the sins of the Prison River, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.
The next second, he closed his eyes and turned around.
Turn your back to the Knight of Punishment.
Little Barney, who was chasing after Saker, panicked and glanced at Nye, who was also desperately chasing back.
No.
No!
But before he could roar, Tails slipped something in his hands behind his back.
Smack.
It was a ball.
It fell to the ground and bounced.
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterward, the ball trembled slightly between Tails and Sacrael, buzzing.
Sakel's sanity instantly returned, and he frowned.
Is that?
On the ground, the strange metal sphere bounced freely.
Like an innocent and happy child who does not know danger.
I hate this - it was Saker's last thought.
The next moment, Tails only felt an unparalleled impact coming from his back!
"Whew-"
Devour his whole body!
"Boom!"
At that moment, an earth-shattering loud bang exploded on the ground!
And the bizarre alchemy ball cracked like a landslide, releasing terrifying energy and bursting out with endless light!
Blinding.
Dazzling.
Gorgeous.
Completely engulfed the ...... in this little dungeon
All of them.
ββEnd of the bookββ
The moment he finished this, Wujian's heart seemed to put down a boulder and grow a breath of air.
Thank you for your tireless support these days, "The Dead Country Girl" has been able to get to where it is today.
