"I remember this guy, the one who finished the tower traitors - came with Semir. ”

Belletti's face tensed, and she said to Barney beside her.

Tails listened to them in a trance, his eyes locked on Ricky in front of him.

The shock of the huge shock not only made him mentally exhausted, but even the pain in his body seemed to have deepened.

How can it be......

"Semir," Barney Jr. stared at Samir standing in the Sword of Calamity:

"You deliberately deceived us that this is the exit and brought us here, just to ...... This?"

Barney Jr.'s words caused the guards inmates to gnash their teeth.

Semir stared at Barney for a second, snorting and shaking his head.

"I didn't lie to you. ”

Semir paused, and his voice was cold:

"This is the only way to live—you go out through the gate, and there is only one way to die. ”

Barney Jr. snorted.

The group of menacing swordsmen in front of them were obviously not good, but their side ......

Barney glanced at his right arm, which was still in pain, and the people who had been severely frustrated in the alchemy ball, and felt a sense of distress.

"You might as well put it back for later. ”

Ricky confidently and politely interrupted Semir's gaze with his former colleague:

"Now, guys, it's time for us to go home. ”

As Ricky's words fell, the people around him—the extremely fast Northland swordsman Clay, and Josh, who had been stationed in advance as a spy—slowly reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The prisoners of the royal guard tightened their faces, and they were not in good shape, and they struggled to raise their weapons and assume a fighting posture.

"We're in too bad shape to get caught up in melee and siege, and they can't dwell too much on their finishing power," Barney Jr. stared at Ricky in front of him and whispered to the people beside him:

"Belletti, I only have one hand to use, and there is no room for temptation. ”

"I understand," Belletti replied quietly with a solemn expression:

"Wait for your signal. ”

Barney Jr. nodded, looked up at Ricky, and said:

"What is your purpose?"

Ricky smiled faintly and was about to speak.

"Don't worry, I'm just ......"

Tyres, who was trying to calm himself, changed his face, and suddenly understood what Barney Jr. was going to do.

The boy subconsciously raised a hand:

"Wait—"

But before he could finish speaking, Barney Jr. and Belletti both swooped out with an avalanche!

The battle broke out in an instant!

It seems that because of the injury, this time Barney Jr. did not hit the head, but Belletti roared as the vanguard, and the two of them went forward and one behind, one axe and one sword, and hit Ricky in front of him!

Maybe it was too sudden, Clay and Josh, who were standing behind Ricky, both subconsciously drew their swords, but they still couldn't catch up, and could only watch as the two approached Ricky first.

Swish!

At the same second, Ricky's silver sword, Eternal Truth, cut a graceful arc, sending the wind to envelop the attacking two.

Bite!

With a soft sound, the eternal truth took the lead in the mid-air point of Belletti's axe.

At that moment, Belletti suddenly had the illusion that she was trapped in an endless whirlpool of scorching heat, and she was about to suffocate.

To make matters worse, despite what had been expected, the Sword's finishing power affected his arm, more than any before.

Searing, oppressive, heavy.

And the mercenary axe, which had some weight in his hand, involuntarily began to tremble.

With Ricky's smile on her face, Belletti watched as her attack deflected more than an inch and slashed her opponent's wrist.

Ricky sneered in his heart, knowing that Belletti's attack was no longer a threat, he turned his sword and faced the other man.

But at this moment, little Barney, who was one step behind, finally arrived!

To Ricky's surprise, Barney Jr., who had only one arm left, didn't attack him.

Instead, he stepped forward and crashed into Belletti!

Boom!

With a muffled thud, Beretti let go of the axe's seemingly uncontrollable handle.

He changed direction with the impact of Barney Jr., clenched his fists and elbows, and crashed into Ricky!

Ricky, who had been so flawed, finally changed color.

The axe blade is just ...... Bait?

But what seemed to be out of control Belletti had rushed to the forefront.

Tails suddenly realized that this was a variant of the Northland military swordsmanship "Counterattack".

It's just that Barney Jr. uses his colleagues as shields.

He was secretly frightened: from the shield in his hand to the living people around him, what kind of tacit understanding must be relied on to make the two of them join forces to attack this style?

Tails didn't have time to think about it, only to see that Ricky had to move short, but the longsword couldn't be recovered.

He could only block with the hilt of his sword, striking Beretti in the abdomen and deflecting his impact.

In the midst of Belletti's muffled snort, Barney Jr.'s long-brewing blade finally stabbed out and went straight to Ricky's abdomen!

A sound of flesh tearing was heard.

"Ahhh

Ricky's roar resounded through the dungeon!

At that moment, it was as if the air around them had been squeezed, and Barney Jr. and Belletti, who were already bound to win, shook in unison.

Thump!

Before Tails could react, Barney Jr. and Belletti stumbled around Ricky as if they couldn't control their drunks, and they both fell down in embarrassment!

"Dangchang!"

Both the axe and sword blades hit the ground.

Tails sighed bitterly.

"No!" Tardin, who was surrounding Tails, exclaimed in surprise.

In the next second, the Swords of Calamity reacted, and Josh and Krezi caught up, their long swords against their necks, firmly suppressing the two who failed in the sneak attack.

I saw Ricky's body shake, and he slammed the long sword into the ground, trying to maintain his balance,

He lowered his head in pain: blood was oozing from between his left fingers, which were covering his abdomen.

In a few seconds, back and forth, the rabbit rose and fell, and the dangerous battle was over.

The people around him were dumbfounded.

"Damn," Northland swordsman Clay looked angrily at little Barney at his feet:

"This is the first time we've been attacked tonight......"

But just as he was about to continue, he was stopped by Ricky.

"No, they're great," Ricky gasped, waving his hand to reject Semir's offer to come and help him:

"After years of captivity, I was seriously injured, and I can still find such an opportunity. ”

Ricky looked at the blood on his waist and sighed.

With the defeat of Barney Jr. and Belletti being captured, Tails' heart grew heavier and bitterer.

"Quill Barney, right?"

Ricky's face turned pale, looking at the embarrassed and even tragic little Barney who was dragged from the ground by his subordinates, and looked at the other party's unwilling and resentful expression.

"Semir mentioned you to me, and it was a nonsense," Ricky's eyebrows furrowed back and forth, as if enduring pain:

"He told me that no matter how bad Barney is, as long as you have a life, even with your teeth, you can do the deadliest damage. ”

Ricky stared at his waist and abdomen, and laughed miserably:

"I believe it now. ”

In response, Barney Jr. just snorted hard, keeping his eyes off the serious injury on the other side's waist.

Damn it.

Almost......

Just a little bit!

"In normal times, you're a good opponent to fight. ”

"But not today. ”

Ricky's gasps died down, and he turned to Tails, who had an ugly expression:

"I am amazed and admired, Your Highness, in such a short period of time, you have found yourself a team of top-notch guards. ”

"Now, we can wrap it up. ”

As he spoke, several mercenaries tightened their swords against the hostages.

Tails looked nervous.

I saw Ricky waving his hand tiredly:

"Take down the others, let's get out. ”

The mercenaries, led by Clay and Josh, received orders and rushed forward.

"Your Highness," Tarding nervously looked at the swords of calamity who surrounded them, "please stand back......"

But at this moment, Tails suddenly stepped forward.

"Wait a minute!"

Under Tardin's worried and puzzled eyes, His Highness the Prince crossed them with an ugly look and stood at the front of the line.

"I have a question. ”

Clay and Josh, with the blades in their hands, frowned slightly.

Knowing the importance of the teenager, they looked back at Ricky.

Ricky took a deep breath and pulled his saber off the ground to gain a foothold.

He took a step forward with his sword:

"Come on, Your Highness, I'm sure you're tired too. ”

"What's the problem, let's go out and talk about it?"

Tails ignored Ricky's words, he just stared at the other party, trying to find something different in every detail of Ricky's body.

But he was disappointed.

Although Ricky was seriously injured and tired, his whole person was completely new compared to the corpse that had been soaked in blood before.

Tails took a deep breath, only to feel the pain and fatigue in his body becoming more apparent.

Even thinking seems to be half a beat slower.

But he had to persevere.

Especially in the face of ......

"I saw with my own eyes, you were pierced through the head. ”

Tails struck a hard foot and stared at Ricky suspiciously.

"But you, how did you do that?"

Listening to the conversation between the prince and Ricky, everyone in the guard was shocked.

"What do you mean?"

Tardin whispered to Cannon, beside him, "Pierce the head?"

Cannon just stared at the cloth inside, incomprehensible.

Ricky smiled again, and smiled naturally.

But it made Tails nervous and irritable.

His head started hurting again.

"Didn't you already have an answer?" Ricky stared at the boy with a smirk on his face.

"When you figure it out, you understand: you can't resist. ”

Already have an answer?

Tails suddenly realizes that something is wrong.

That's right.

Tails was surprised to see that the pained look on Ricky's face had disappeared.

Ricky straightened up and let go of the hand covering his abdomen.

At some point, his wounds stopped bleeding.

And Ricky even returned to the indifferent leader image, rubbing the bright red condensed on his hands, smiling and shaking his head.

It's like he's never had a serious injury like a waist and abdomen piercing.

Only the clothes and armor that were cut off tell the scene just now.

Tails felt a chill in his heart.

What does this mean?

And he said......

Ricky's faint smile suddenly became mysterious in Tails' eyes.

The prince felt only a splitting headache.

He looked at the torn armor on the other party's waist, and endured the fatigue of wanting to sleep:

"Are you...... Bloodline?"

Ricky paused slightly, then chuckled and shook his head.

"I said, you already have the answer, but you don't want to admit it. ”

Not the Bloodline.

No.

The boy looked at the subdued Barney and Belletti, and the inexplicable fear in his heart surged up again.

"You just said that if you don't die, you will be reborn every time?"

Tails gritted his teeth and cautiously asked what he feared most:

"You ......"

"Are you one of them?"

Ricky still smiled, not answered.

The laughter made Tails's already tortured and dying spirit even more uncomfortable.

Looking at the other party's almost default posture, Tails's heart was extremely cold.

He can be wary of the Assassins, he can negotiate with the Northlanders, and he can find another way to deal with Sakel......

But in the face of ......

Tails' face was grim.

Little Barney, who was subdued, understood something, and his face changed slightly:

"Wait, you mean this ......"

Tails shook his head, his gaze fixed on Ricky.

Damn it.

If, if this guy is really what I think......

If he is ......

No, that's too bad.

First Saker, then this ......

The young man's tired gaze circled around and stopped at the silver sword he had once held.

If he really is...... There is no hope in that hard fight.

Unless.

Tails only felt like his head was going to explode.

He had to think, think, think of a way out......

Think of Ahida, think of Giza, think of Taurus, think about how you should be in front of them......

Tails took a deep breath and said tremblingly:

"So, the Sword of Calamity is literally an organization of Calamity, like the Blood Vials, which exists for you and serves you?"

Everyone was stunned.

including the people of the Sword of Calamity.

Ricky raised an eyebrow.

Looking at his appearance, Tails' heart moved:

"You say, your sword is called eternal truth, truth—it's not a coincidence, isn't it?"

Tails made up his mind and gritted his teeth:

"So, your leader, is Brother Truth?"

To Tails' surprise, he was only trying to delay time and find opportunities.

Brother Truth.

In that second, Ricky's face changed

He was originally smiling, but after hearing this, his face suddenly became frosty.

Tails' legs ached, and seeing hope, he had to hold on to Barney Jr., who was on his side, to stand firmly:

"Or, you're Brother Truth, B?, or L?"

"Should I call you—the Sword of Truth henceforth?"

The prince's words made almost everyone present pause.

Except for one person.

Standing in front of everyone, Ricky's expression became extremely cold.

The murderous intent in his eyes made Tails shudder.

Ricky stared at Tails coldly, as if he wanted to find some secret from the boy.

"You...... Say it again?"...
