Chapter 168: One Missing

Tails frowned at Barney Jr. before nodding for a moment.

Naki looked at Tails and then at the Pioneer, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end there was no exit.

"Well, about your question," Tails coughed lightly in unspeakable embarrassment:

"It was ...... who taught me swordsmanship Ginny Buckway. ”

"The King's Lover. ”

At that moment, Barney Jr.'s eyes changed, and he was caught in Tails' eyes.

"Eh, isn't it that splash ...... from the Xicheng Alert Hall" Naki slapped his brain, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out.

But when he saw Barney Jr.'s face, he trembled violently, and immediately changed his words:

"Ahem, cough, ahemβ€”oh, oh, it turned out to be a famous, talented and good-looking time-limited vigilant officer!"

Naki suddenly became serious.

Looking at the faces of the two, Tails was full of doubts in his heart.

They......

I saw Naki pull the collar that didn't exist, and said:

"Ah, that, nothing, Your Highness, I think, Barney Pioneer, what he just meant...... That, even if it's the same set of swordsmanship, there are different styles, different understandings, and different habits, which is very normal!"

Naki patted his chest magnificently, ignoring Barney's increasingly ugly face, and said to himself:

"Even if it's the Northland military swordsmanship, we can't rest on our laurels and settle for a single style, we must be good at discovering the advantages and constantly innovating, even if sometimes the new style seems to be ineffective for the time being, but it is also valuable, for example, Ms. Ginny's attempt to strengthen the defense is very enlightening...... Brother, Quill, Barney, Barney, Captain, listen to me......"

But before he finished speaking, he was pulled by the ears of Barney Jr., who had an ugly expression, and dragged back to the battlefield.

"Stop talking nonsense, get to work!" said Barney Jr. angrily.

Leaving Tails alone, he stared at their backs in a daze.

In the increasingly rare shouts of killing, the fast rope slowly stepped forward and looked at the prisoners of the royal guard, with complicated expressions.

"They're amazing," Fastrope's words pulled Tails back to reality:

"No worse than the White Guards. ”

Tails took a deep breath and pulled his thoughts back to the priority at hand.

He looked at the Sword of Calamity, which had been killed and disarmed, and nodded.

"Hmm. ”

"Have you figured it out?"

Fast Rope sighed:

"What do you tell them?"

Tails shook his head.

He knew what the fast rope was going to ask.

But he didn't know the answer.

Fast Rope was silent for a moment and laughed.

"Really?"

The fast rope sneered:

"I knew ...... like this"

"Why couldn't you hide just now, so you had to jump out by yourself?"

Tails was silent for a moment.

He snorted softly and shook the key in his hand:

"Then your plan is very clever, luring away the pursuers, and then die at their hands?"

Fast Rope was stunned for a moment, as if puzzled.

"Dead in ......"

"Who said I was going to die inβ€”"

The next second, he raised his hands and looked at Tails in disbelief:

"Wait, you don't think I'm really sacrificing myself...... to protect you, right?"

Tails only felt choked.

What the?

"But you obviously look like you are going to die and fighting to the end......"

Fast Rope frowned:

"Death is like - you knights have seen too much, haven't you?"

Tails opened his mouth and stared at him blankly.

Yes?

"Oh, what a misunderstanding!"

Fast Rope understood something, he blinked, and raised the corners of his mouth in surprise: "I was eye-to-eye with Dean at the time, and let him cooperate to come up and stun me!"

Tails froze.

Eye-catching?

Cooperate?

"So......" he asked tentatively.

Fast Rope pointed to Dean in the crowd in the distance, crying and laughing, with a look of "You don't seem to be stupid":

"That's right, I'm hooking up with Dean and I'm going to put on a show...... Until you jump out. ”

Tails stared blankly at him.

He- what did he say?

Tails stared into the distance, making eye contact with Dean, who was looking at him with hatred and gritted teeth.

You.

You!

Dean's expression was fierce.

At that moment, Tails, who was still a little moved, understood, and completely froze in place.

Fast Rope shrugged his shoulders with an innocent look.

Looking at the unconscious fast rope, the prince's face was quite unbearable.

Worst.

It seems like......

And what superfluous things did he do?

Tails awkwardly looked away, a faint sense of shame welling up in his heart.

He tried to put aside his self-esteem and thought seriously: Then again, there is one more important thing.

I wonder what the weather is like today......

But at this very moment.

"Hey," Fastrope snorted softly and turned his head:

"Thank you anyway. ”

"Although it won't die...... But I won't be happy if it falls into the hands of the darkroom. ”

Tails exhaled deeply, unable to hide his embarrassment:

"Really......"

yes, it looks like it's a sunny day......

Fast Rope sighed lightly, his eyes flashed, and countless emotions churned in his eyes for a while.

"Maybe we're wrong. ”

Tails raised his eyebrows slightly, and came back to his senses:

"Huh?"

I saw Kuairope fold his arms, looked at him faintly, and said softly, "I was thinking, King Nekaru or someone else...... Those myths and stories about disasters ......"

"Maybe they're wrong. ”

Tails froze.

He turned his head and stared blankly at the fast rope.

Fast Rope looked at the battle in front of him, shook his head and said:

"Last night, you didn't hesitate to attack Dean, let alone me. ”

Tails' heart tightened.

"You've gone to great lengths to save someone like Marina who you don't know before. ”

Fast Rope sighed deeply.

"What kind of cruel and murderous, crazy and evil existence ......"

"Would do something like this?"

Tails was silent.

He suddenly remembered Longxiao City that night, Ashida and Giza that night.

When he remembered the uncontrolled ascent and knocking, he felt that he was no longer himself.

I think of the calm and rational self when I entered the runaway from control.

"But ......"

But before he could finish, the fast rope interrupted him again.

"If there's been my biggest growth in years, Tails. ”

Fast rope nodded his forehead, as if with emotion:

"It's about seeing the world through your eyes, not your ears. ”

Tails was silent.

"That's it?"

Fast rope raised eyebrows:

"That's all. ”

He raised the time crossbow in his hand and sighed softly.

"Fuck the mythical tales. ”

"Fuck the scourge. ”

Fast Rope raised his arm and punched Tails in the chest!

"Bang!"

Tails squeezed in his chest and bent over in pain.

"You're Tails, I'm Fast Rope, I saved your life, and you saved me once. ”

I saw the fast rope smile stiffly:

"And we're leveling it out now. ”

Looking at the embarrassed Tails, he burst out laughing.

Tyres, who was struggling to breathe, managed to get his breath back.

He looked up in pain and gritted his teeth as he looked at the fastrope.

Flat!

The next time, just againβ€”obviously I saved you twice, two to one, and you still owe me once!

Who taught this guy how to do arithmetic?

Nicolais?

"And by the way," Fast Rope's expression instantly turned cold, he grabbed Tails' shoulders, gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Stay away from her!"

"I'm serious!"

Tails' face froze.

Right now.

"Hey, little couple, have you finished your meaty love words?"

Tails and Fast Rope were startled in unison, and subconsciously looked up.

I saw that the field had already fallen silent, and in the chaos all over the ground, the seven guards prisoners seemed to easily annihilate the dozen or so people of the Sword of Calamity.

And they were looking at Tails with curious eyes.

Tails and Fast Rope subconsciously let go of each other and smiled in unison.

The prisoners of the Guard returned to normal, cleaned up the battlefield, and each looked like it.

Cannon was still hiding in the corner, shivering, muttering to himself from time to time.

Belletti didn't say a word, just silently wiped his weapon with an indifferent expression.

But others are far from so quiet.

"Don't move, Brie, or I won't be able to bandage you...... Hey, I said don't move, I didn't touch it again!I didn't mean to!" It was Naki bandaging the grinning Brie's butt wound, but the two looked like they were in a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

"Come here, hand out supplies and weaponsβ€”or do you really want to fight in your panties?" said Second Logistics Officer Nai, rummaging through the corpses all over the ground, and while dutifully throwing the well-fitting and well-fitting weapons and equipment to his companions, he hated the exit:

"They don't have a lot of hands, but they have good equipment...... Hey, Tardin, why did you eat it...... I don't know if it's going to be handed over to the public!"

"Great!"

Tardin sat on the ground stupidly, clutching an enemy's hydration bag, tearing at dry food from nowhere, and laughing madly:

"We're out, we're out!

As the highest-ranking person, the pioneer officer Barney Jr. kept holding his arms and frowning at Tails, as if thinking about what was going to happen next.

In this strange atmosphere of chaos, Tails and Fast Rope glanced at each other and saw the jealousy in each other's eyes.

As soon as they came out of prison, they slaughtered all sides, and it seemed that the danger level was no less than that of the avant-garde members of the year......

Is it reliable?

And most importantly...... What's next?

"What did you say when you let them out?"

Tails avoided Barney Jr.'s gaze, lowered his head, and quietly bit the ear of the fastrope.

"What else can I say," said Kuairope's face was anxious, and he whispered:

"Of course, it was the squire Waia Cassel who asked them for help for the prince in danger......"

"By the way, the guy who laughed like crazy got up on tiptoe and touched my head and said, 'Wow Waiya, you're so tall, what's going on with your dad,' and I had to 'hey, hey, hey,' and ......"

Tails didn't finish the second half of his sentence.

Because in the next second, as if a cold snap had suddenly arrived, all the guards in the field were silent!

Cannon no longer trembled, but opened his mouth as Tardine spat out the dry food in his mouth and touched the sword beside him.

Brie let out a low, uneasy groan, and Naki threw away the bandage in his hand.

Nai coldly handed out the last piece of leather armor to Belletti, who narrowed his eyes and exuded a murderous aura.

Little Barney didn't move, and gently picked up a torch on the ground.

They all stopped what they were doing, and stood up in tacit understanding, their eyes solemn, facing one side.

It's a stone staircase.

Stone steps in the Black Prison.

"Tread, step, step. ”

Heavy footsteps sounded slowly.

Every step is like stepping on the bottom of people's hearts.

"Tread, step, step. ”

Finally, a long-lost figure appeared at the stairs from bottom to top.

Get out of the fire.

Seeing the person clearly, Tails and Fast Rope glanced at each other, and gasped in unison.

The breathing of the former royal guards invariably became rapid.

The man who came carried a heavy load stood in front of the fire, facing the crowd.

Silent.

The visitor slowly turned his gaze, glanced at the sloppy team in front of him, and spoke softly.

"Chief Pioneer Officer, Barney. ”

"Chief Penal Officer, Belletti. ”

"Second Logistics Officer, Nai. ”

It was as if he was inspecting a weapon that belonged to him.

Barney's face tensed, Belletti's expression was complicated, and Nye was hostile.

"Cannon, Tardin, Brie...... Oh, and you, Naki the idler?"

The names of the people who came came out one by one, the tone was flat, but there was a kind of oppressive force that made people breathe away for no reason.

Tails swore that he heard clearly:

Naki subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It's strange that the prisoners of the Guard, no one speaks at this moment.

They just looked nervously at the arrival.

It's as if an animal has seen a predator.

The visitor smiled and threw the weight off his shoulders to the ground.

Thump!

Tails and Fast Rope's pupils shrank!

It was a corpse.

I saw the actual head of Dante's greatsword, the hidden agent in the dark room, and the mercenary Dean lying on the ground covered in blood.

In the firelight, he opened his godless eyes, opened his breathless mouth and nose, and looked at the empty ceiling.

Motionless.

His face was full of surprise before he died.

"You're missing one. ”

The visitor grinned and shook his head, revealing the sin under his forehead.

He stretched out his hand and gestured to the corpse on the ground:

"No thanks. ”

The tone is soft.

It's like the most homely greeting.

Everyone frowned in unison.

"And then ......"

The former watchman of the royal guard, the knight of punishment, Saker, smiled gently, and his gaze passed through the crowd, pointing directly at the distraught Tails:

"I missed one too. ”
