It's a good thing that the procrastination has worked, but ......

Looking at Ricky's almost murderous gaze, Tails only felt that his head was getting bigger and bigger.

Where did I say the wrong thing?

But.

If he's a magician......

Tails rubbed his head, remembering what the Sword of Calamity had come here for.

That's right.

Dragon Breaker.

But...... What now?

However, a hoarse and boring voice suddenly sounded from the darkness behind him!

"Steady. ”

Tails, who was in a state of distraction, immediately woke up.

"Calm down. ”

Barney Jr. and Belletti were startled and turned to look back.

"The more you are at a disadvantage, the stronger the enemy is. ”

Seeing the person behind him, Tails froze.

Even Ricky's eyes tightened, and he no longer paid murderous attention to Tails.

"The more important it is. ”

It's him.

It's Saqel.

I saw the Knight of Punishment, who had just gone insane and had been left in a dark corner by them, limping into the firelight with a left arm tied tightly with a plank.

His face was cold and his eyes were clear.

The appearance of the knight made many people nervous.

Especially on the side of the Sword of Calamity, Clay and Josh turned pale and raised their weapons at the same time!

Tails was also nervous, but looking at the situation in front of him, he probably didn't care about the threat of Saker.

"And you, Barney Pioneer, Belletti Punishment," Sakel's figure faltered, but his words were extremely harsh:

"You've let me down. ”

Belletti looked ashamed, and Barney Jr. turned his head awkwardly.

"Sir?" asked Tardin, bewildered.

But Sakel ignored him, and just looked straight at the ugly-looking Tails:

"As for you......"

The Knight of Punishment's gaze at this moment was fierce and resolute, as if he had the ability to penetrate people's hearts.

Thinking of his previous "ex-convictions" of chasing and killing him, Tails couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"Think about it," said Saker.

"How the hell did he 'die'. ”

How is he ...... Dead?

Who?

What and how did it die?

Tails was confused.

"Sakel!"

Ricky spoke up.

He was surprised and surprised, and at the same time did not forget to give Semir an inquiring look.

But Semir just shook his head, his face complicated.

"You look so much better than when you were in prison. ”

Tails looked at Saker, who was bruised and bloodstained at this time, and looked sick, except for a pair of eyes, and he really couldn't find evidence that he was "much better".

"Why don't you think about my proposal again?"

The surprise and vigilance on Ricky's face flickered, and his words became steady and confident again:

"We should be able to get along - like in the fight against the Tower of the End. ”

But Sakel didn't look at him, just stared straight at Tails.

The boy was so flustered by his eyes that he quickly turned his head and forced himself not to look at Saker, who had gone and returned.

At that moment, Tails had a flash of inspiration and understood Saker's words.

It's Ricky.

He's talking about Ricky.

Ricky, what did he just ...... Dead?

By the way, I remembered.

He was in Saker's cell and was ...... by yodel

At that moment, the distraught Tails immediately woke up!

That's right.

Tails shook his head.

It was his current state that was so bad that his physical pain and mental fatigue affected his most basic thinking.

Tails took a deep breath, the half-dead Prison River Sin reluctantly leaking out, a drop in the bucket to soothe his pain and vertigo.

The boy struggled to regain his composure and nodded at Saker.

The Knight of Punishment then withdrew his gaze.

Subsequently, Tails turned to Ricky:

"You're not a magician. ”

The words are calm and to the point.

"You are not a scourge. ”

The moment that word appeared, there was a small surprise among the royal guards.

Barney Jr. stared straight, and Belletti looked at Ricky stiffly.

Ricky, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow slightly.

Tails took a deep breath, only to feel the uneasiness in his heart gradually disappear:

"Absolutely not. ”

The royal guards' surprise soon subsided, and they all looked at Tails.

"Oh?"

Ricky's smile slowly cooled.

"Why are you so sure?"

Why are you so sure?

As if in order to continue to convince himself, Tails, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously blurted out:

"Because you're a man. ”

Ricky frowned, puzzled for a moment.

Man?

But his expression widened.

"I see. ”

Ricky's face froze.

"'Because I'm a man'...... So, you've listened to what we've said about the Magical Empress, haven't you?"

This time it was Tails' turn to be stunned.

The mercenary leader smiled slightly, and looked left and right, his eyes shining.

"Your Royal Highness, where's your masked friend?"

Tails' heart tightened.

He subconsciously wanted to look at Saker, who had last seen Yodel, but Ricky's words forced him to divert his attention again:

"So, the sword he used to kill me, well, should be the legendary anti-demon weapon, right?"

Tails' arm stiffened.

In front of him, Ricky was still calm and calm.

It's just that a pair of eyes are locked on Saker.

"So the legend is true, in addition to the four pieces in the hands of the three marshals and the king, the Star Kingdom also has one in the Fuxing Palace...... Now, it seems, is it a sword?"

Most of the Calamity Sword and the Royal Guards were too misty to keep up with Tails and Ricky's thinking.

But Tails' gaze on Ricky had grown heavier and heavier.

Bad.

Based on the clues that Sakel reminded him, he determined that the other party was not a magician based on the fact that Ricky "died" from the Supreme Sword.

But Ricky quickly grasped their logic.

He deduced from Tails' inexplicable words like "You're a man" that the sword that "killed" him in Yodel's hand was the legendary anti-demon weapon.

Tails subconsciously glanced at Saker behind him.

But the other party didn't look at him, just stared at Ricky coldly.

No, he can't be counted on.

Tails shook his head.

Saker's mental condition was already problematic, not to mention, after a series of battles and alchemy balls, watching the other party limp and not even walk steadily, Tails didn't think it was a good idea to bet on Saker who was going and returning.

There was no way, Tails could only bite the bullet and continue:

"So, your 'death' was also planned by you?"

"And then ......"

Tails stared at the Sword of Calamity on the other side, counting their numbers.

"And then you're watching us kill each other and reap the benefits?"

There are at least thirty or forty more......

The point is, there is also Ricky's biggest variable.

But if he's not a magician......

Tails remembered the "magic" of the other party's resurrection, and felt that after getting rid of the panic of the magician, he fell into a deeper level of unknown.

"Planned?"

Ricky chuckled, his gaze unsucked.

"Your Highness, you have to understand: the world is very complicated, and nothing is planned. ”

"Like tonight, isn't it?"

Nothing is planned.

Tails clenched his fists.

"The mysterious and terrifying Shadow Shield, the terrifying Northlanders, the notorious Kingdom Secret Branch and the equally impressive Northland Darkroom, the former prisoners of the Guard, and even the star nobles in the camp - about half of the people from the Bladetooth Camp were involved. ”

Ricky shook his head with a snort.

"Of course, we and you, Your Highness. ”

"When they are intertwined in everything, all preconceived plans are broken, and only the unexpected is the main tone. ”

Ricky narrowed his eyes, a warning look coming out of his eyes:

"We never planned anything. ”

"Or rather, the only plan we can rely on is to be improvised. ”

Improvise?

Tails went through all the events of the night.

From taverns to dungeons, from mercenaries to assassins, from prisoners to Sakers.

He changed color slightly.

Ricky, who is arguably the culprit of all the events of tonight: from the very beginning, it was his sword of calamity, planning to break into the prison of bones and get the information he wanted.

He is also a connector of many parties: the Shadow Shield who wants to take the fire from the fire, the Northlanders who are interested in the Prince, the innocent and neutral Tavernkeeper, and the Dark Room with evil intentions, including himself, are all gathered here by Ricky.

He is the detonator of contradictions: it is he who takes Semir to meet the guards of the year, stirs up the old things of eighteen years ago, and it is he who brings his subordinates and the Shadow Shield Fire to draw everyone in the dungeon into the whirlpool.

And he is about to become the terminator of the chess game: now that almost everything has been achieved and everything is almost settled, he lures them here through Semir to witness the final game.

Tails only felt a heavier weight inside, and he suddenly realized that he had seriously underestimated Ricky.

After experiencing countless chaos and accidents, he can still stand here safely, of course, he is not a small role.

Add to that the strange means of his mysterious rebirth......

In the suffocating silence, Ricky chuckled:

"Now, can you come home with me?"

But again, to everyone's surprise, a figure erupted at this moment!

Call!

Tails, whose thoughts had not yet been cleared, twitched his nerves, and he only felt the sound of the wind in his ears, and saw the limping figure pass over him, hitting Ricky who fell into the voice!

It's Saqel.

The front watchman did not change his face and was not fast, but he was extremely determined to move his legs, which were no longer flexible due to injury, and rushed forward!

Tails was completely stunned.

Say yes...... Steady and calm?

This time, the Swords of Calamity, who had been prepared for a long time, were no longer passive, but roared back in unison, blocking the attackers.

At least five or six people greeted Saker.

Only Semir's face changed drastically, and he spoke out to stop him:

"No, don't have so many people! he ......"

But it was too late.

For the next six seconds, Tails felt like he was watching a burlesque acrobatics:

In the first second, a mercenary violently kicked out his hammer and was taken by the punishment knight, but inexplicably bumped into his left-handed companion, and the two scrambled to avoid accidental injury and rolled into a ball.

In the second and third seconds, Josh struck Saker's axe hard, and then retreated, only to find himself standing in the way of his companions, tripped two people in quick succession.

In the third and a half seconds, Clay's invincible fast sword stabbed with precision, but miraculously helped Sakel, who happened to lower his head, to block another pursuit.

In the fourth second, the last mercenary standing in front of Ricky cleverly did not make contact, but fired three darts, one of which was nimbly dodged by Saker and pierced into the foot of one of the pursuers behind him.

In the fifth second, the second dart slammed into Saker's axe handle, coincidentally deflected, flew into the crowd, and pierced into the ass of Barney Jr., who was pinned to the ground by two men.

In the sixth second, the third dart accurately hit Saker, the splint on his left arm that fixed the wound, only to see the Knight of Punishment turn his head and bite and spit out, and the saliva dart immediately appeared in midair, and it was struck by Sakel's axe and shot into the crotch of its original owner.

At the seventh second, Ricky was shocked to find that the dart mercenary in front of him was curled up in pain and fell backwards, just as he happened to fall to his right foot. At the same time, Saker's axe blade flew out of the air and shot at his left foot.

Ricky had to make a big retreat, dodging the screaming rolls of his companions, and then use his sword to disarm Saker's throwing axe.

But by the time he was ready to finish it, Sakel was already in front of him.

"Oops—"

Struggling to maintain his balance, Ricky could only say half a word, and Sacrael, who looked indifferent, raised his right arm and left arm splint at the same time.

Ka-la!

There was a thrilling thud of muscles and bones.

Tails shuddered.

In the next second, I saw Ricky's head, turning in an impossible direction on his shoulder.

Thump.

With a soft sound, Ricky, who had been invincible a moment ago, opened his eyes in disbelief and fell straight to the ground.

His head was crooked in a strange pose, looking behind his back.

Never move again.

Amid the cries or screams of many of the Swords of Calamity, the battle was over.

Except for the wailing wounded, everyone was stunned.

But Sacael is not over.

He coldly reached out and grabbed Ricky's slippery "Eternal Truth" in mid-air - it looked like the fallen Ricky had voluntarily thrown his sword at him.

Everyone's hearts trembled!

Tails subconsciously turned his head.

Swish!

It was the sound of flesh tearing again.

This time, in the splatters of blood, Ricky's head left his body.

Roll weakly on the ground.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

In the midst of everyone's almost astonished gaze, Sakel stood up.

With a thud, the sword fell to the ground.

Ricky's body lay on the ground, motionless.

His head was not far from his left shoulder, staring blankly at his neck with his eyes open.

After doing all this, Sachael snorted, clutching his chest and stubbing his waist - apparently, he was not unharmed.

The mercenaries around him reacted and were about to step forward.

But Sakel only took a deep breath and turned his head to glance around him.

The mercenaries froze in unison and stepped back.

Like the tide receding.

Or meet a flock of hungry wolves.

On the side of the Sword of Calamity, Clay held the coughing Josh and looked at the ghostly warrior in front of him in horror.

Damn it.

It was no coincidence that he was in a cell before......

This guy can really ......

The people on Tails' side were equally dumbfounded.

"Forty ...... Forty ......" The last fastrope looked at the wounded and Ricky's corpses all over the ground, and muttered in horror:

"I'm grass, is it true?"

The Knight of Punishment ignored the others, but turned his head and stared solemnly at the headless corpse on the ground.

It seems like a long time has passed.

But the corpse on the ground remained motionless.

Saker breathed a sigh of relief and turned away.

Tails and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, remember to mend the knife after killing......

That's right.

But after only a few seconds, Sacael's steps back froze.

Because a strange sound of rustling was coming from behind him.

On this side, Tails, Tardin, Cannon, Brie, and Fast Rope all looked at the back of the Punishment Knight, and their faces were suddenly colorless!

Even the surrounding Calamity Swords turned pale and turned their heads to avoid them.

Saker's pupils froze.

In the next second, he kicked the axe blade on the ground without thinking, grabbed the handle of the axe with his right hand, and turned back directly!

"Poof!"

The sound of steel entering flesh.

I saw Sakel directly push the axe blade into the chest of the person behind him!

But that didn't make Tyles and other bystanders feel any better.

For they saw that the corpse that had risen up again grabbed Saqel's arm, and looked absently at the blade of the axe that had sunk into his chest and brought out countless blood.

It's like that's not your own chest.

"It's so ruthless, cut off your head directly. ”

At some point, the head had returned to the corpse on the body, and "Ricky" laughed:

"You're going to get me in trouble. ”
