A terrifying silence is restored in the dungeon.

At this time.

"Not true. ”

The only one in the royal guard who escaped prison, Semir interjected coldly:

"If your goal is only to bring the king to his senses, why not single-handedly carry out the legendary anti-demon forces and assassinate your so-called Queen of Calamity?"

At this moment, Semir is cold and resolute, and it seems that he is no longer the royal guard he once was.

Tails' heart moved.

He remembered what Gilbert had relayed to him back then, the catastrophe of the Bright Star Royal Family in the Scarlet Year, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Why such an extreme approach?"

Sakel did not speak.

Semir went on to ask:

"Besides, why do you want to put the entire Bright Star Royal Family on your purge, and never stop without slaughtering them all?"

Sakel's lips quivered.

His face faded and he looked at Semir in a daze.

"Yes," Tardin, pale, joined the conversation:

"You know, even the most innocent princesses and grandchildren, the most lively and naïve Princess Constance, even they are ......"

He bit his lip and couldn't go on.

Sakel looked at Semir and Tardin, and after a long moment.

Until he sighed:

"That's not what I intended. ”

Looking at this scene, Tails had mixed feelings, but he immediately thought of another question.

"Whose intention was that?"

The prince's statement attracted the attention of others:

"You didn't tell the whole truth. ”

Tails raised his voice:

"Tell me, who are the people who cooperated with you to assassinate the king back then, the group of people who intended to subvert the Kingdom of Stars?"

And most importantly......

"What were they and His Majesty Eddie plotting to bring such a catastrophe?" Tails asked through gritted teeth.

Sakel seemed to be asked.

He was silent for a long time, but after all, he just shook his head, and still did not answer.

"And. ”

Semir spoke again.

"If what you say is true, then why," the former flag bearer stared at the former penal knight:

"Why didn't you stand up and admit that you were a traitor?"

"Aren't you accomplishing your goal? You're not afraid to take on it, let alone die, and you're even willing to take the blame for me who escaped...... Shouldn't you be as upright and honest as you are now, and be judged by confessing the truth and frankly?"

Sakel's lips tightened, but the prisoners of the guard gradually noticed the suspicion, and they all frowned and looked at him.

"Why have you been hiding for eighteen years?"

Semir's questioning progressed layer by layer, and there was unwillingness and resentment in it:

"Why did you pop up and tell us these things and tell us that you were that damn traitor?"

"If I hadn't set foot in here and they hadn't let you out, you were going to live like this forever until you died?"

Sakel didn't move, only sinking his face into the darkness of the fire again.

"Even," Semir gritted his teeth and raised his arm, startling Tails:

"Why are you targeting this prince!"

At this moment, Tails was shocked!

Worst.

Why the Prince......

"What the hell are you hiding?"

Semir hissed:

"What's the secret that you'd rather take to the Prison River than tell it?"

Tails glanced at Fast Rope, who had been agitating to escape, and felt bad.

Why......

Back to the topic?

The Guard, including Barney Jr., scrutinized Sakel with suspicion, and many of them refocused their attention on Tails.

It's bad.

Tails gritted his teeth secretly.

Sachael hadn't exposed my secrets before, perhaps because he still had a sense of guilt for the royal family and didn't want to tarnish the reputation of the star......

But now......

Tails glanced apprehensively at Sakel, who seemed hesitant.

Now, he has revealed the truth about Eddie II's alliance with the Magi.

He's ...... There's nothing to hide, right?

At this moment, Sakel silently spoke.

"The Conjuring. ”

The Punishment Knight said plainly.

This made others, especially Tails, stunned.

Necromancy?

What do you mean?

Sakel took a slow breath, a deep wariness in his eyes.

"Whether it's the invasion of the Prison of Bones today, or the appearance of this Highness, whether it's the Sword of Calamity, the Shadow Shield, or even the Dragon Breaker. ”

“...... None of them are coincidences. ”

Tails' heart moved.

Not a coincidence......

Sakel jerked his head up and looked at Tails.

"That dagger of yours, Your Highness. ”

Dagger?

Tails couldn't help but swallow his throat.

What the?

Bearing the suspicious gazes of others, he resisted the urge to reach out and touch JC.

The Knight of Punishment's tone was cold, and there seemed to be a chill between the words:

"I know it's made of dark steel smelted underground by the dwarves - close to the material of the Supreme Sword - but it's different from the other with a special blend of crystals. ”

Without waiting for Tails to react, Saker's next sentence revealed the origin of JC:

"It is the Flower of the Assassins, the exclusive weapon of the House of Saliton. ”

"Every time Saliton finishes training, it's proof that he has started his career as an Assassin. ”

The people were shocked!

Even the fast rope looked at Tails in horror.

As for the center of the topic, Tails himself only felt stiff and unable to move.

He knows.

But......

Sakel's gaze was alert and fearful, as if the mentally unstable prisoner he had just escaped from prison was just a delusion.

"The appearance of this dagger in your hand, Your Highness, including the attitude of those treacherous assassins towards your coercion and temptation just now, says something. ”

"As a participant in the assassination back then, I don't know why they re-infiltrated the Bright Star Royal Family and approached such a special ...... You. ”

Speaking of "special you", Sacrael paused again, startling Tails into a cold sweat.

"But it must have something to do with the bad luck of those calamities, with their unsuccessful plots. ”

The eyes of the Guard prisoners flickered, moving back and forth between Tyers and Sakel.

This time, the Knight of Punishment was wary, as if his eyes were full of enemies.

"I can feel that some people are not reconciled. ”

"They refuse to let go of the tragedy of the past. ”

Sakel's eyes burned:

"They are still digging into the taboos of the past, looking for the legacy of the past, trying to ...... the catastrophe and catastrophe of eighteen years ago"

"The Conjuring. ”

Necromancy?

Tails stared blankly at Saker.

No.

It's not like that......

He turned his head with difficulty.

This dagger, this dagger is the former Yara, she gave it to herself......

But at the thought of this, Tails's thoughts froze.

Wait a minute.

JC and the Flower of Assassins may have been misunderstood, but the Shadow Shield ......

Tails couldn't help but think of what the chisel had said in my tavern.

[From the almost frenzied assassination of members of the royal family eighteen years ago, to the present doing everything to ensure the survival of that prince......]

[The change of attitude before and after Teng only shows one thing. 】

[The existence of that prince must mean something. 】

Sakel did not pay any more attention to the prince's strange appearance, but continued to speak to himself, as cold as ice:

"They have to be stopped. ”

He bites the word "block", categorically, unquestionably:

"Before the tragedy of the past repeats, before the next mistake is made. ”

Sakel's words fell, and Tails felt a chill down his spine.

Semir smiled.

"Conjuring," Semir repeated, shaking his head with disdain:

"That's a good reason. ”

"But you haven't answered my ......"

"Enough!"

At this point, Barney Jr. seemed to have run out of patience, and he interrupted Semir without hesitation.

Semir glanced at Barney Jr. disapprovingly, but the latter ignored him.

"So, you're not going to take it easy, and you're going to keep attacking the prince, are you?" said Barney Jr., looking straight ahead at Saker.

Sakel was silent for a second.

He didn't answer directly, just coldly repeated his words:

"They have to be stopped. ”

Hearing this, Barney Jr.'s expression became more and more cold.

"Good. ”

The former vanguard officer took off the shield hanging behind his back, raised his long sword, and pointed it directly at Sakel, murderous:

"Then you have to be stopped, too. ”

Little Barney faded away all hesitation and concern, and said in a cold voice: "In the name of the royal guard, we must count the sins and severely punish the betrayal. ”

"And justice. ”

Tails immediately felt everyone's bodies and nerves tense.

Belletti, Brie, Tardin, Cannon, Nye, Naki, the prisoners of the royal guard slowly dispersed, re-armed with their weapons, stood in formation, and killed themselves.

But it's no longer aimed at Tails and the fast rope.

Rather, it was directed at the Punishment Knight in front of him.

Even Semir, who was standing on the other side, slowly drew his long sword.

It was as if they had returned to wartime, as if the scene of the old man meeting was just an illusion.

Tails subconsciously clenched Ricky's sword, and Fastrope rolled his eyes and raised the crossbow in his hand.

"Are you ready for your trial," Barney Jr. glared at Sakel unceremoniously, the disgust and hatred in his eyes almost overflowing:

"Betrayer?"

The Knight of Punishment silently endured their gaze.

"Of course," Sakel sighed, slowly picking up his axe, and as he spoke, the grief on his face turned into an inch of firmness:

"Every day, every hour, every second. ”

"I'm all set. ”

At this moment, it was as if someone had pulled the timeline back to just now, and the Knight of Punishment and his former colleagues were once again hostile.

The fast rope tugged at Tails, motioning for him to slip away now or while the fight was going on.

But Tails shook his head.

He felt the solemnity and tension in the arena – but not from the opposing sides.

And just one of them.

"Barney?"

Naki held his weapon and stared at the former watchman in front of him, swallowing a mouthful of saliva in embarrassment, cautiously: "He has one man, and we have seven. ”

Barney frowned.

"No, eight. ”

Semir interjected faintly, and he walked to Sakel's flank with his sword, his eyes flashing with anger:

"All debts must be settled today. ”

Sakel glanced at Semir, an unknown emotion flashing in his eyes, but said nothing.

Little Barney also glanced at this escaped coward he didn't look down on, pursed his lips, shook his head, and said:

"Good, eight. ”

As a result, the nine people of the royal family guard in the past, the nine people who all wore the sin of the bright stars on their faces, and the nine people who had not seen each other for eighteen years......

Face each other in this moment and take up arms.

"One to eight, no," Naki sighed softly, muttering to himself:

"It's too disparity. ”

The rest of the royal guards frowned.

Too much disparity?

Tails' mind moved, and he heard the heaviness of his words.

Sakel's gaze swept lightly, and he re-examined all the people, as if observing the battlefield.

"yes, I know. ”

He spoke softly, discharging all undue emotions and re-becoming the calmest and most terrible of punishment knights.

"I'll beat you all eight. ”

Sakel poured the axe and took a step.

Tread, step, step.

"Indeed, it is ...... to you"

His momentum and pressure slowly accumulated with his steps, like a monstrous wave that seemed slow in the distance, but would eventually hit.

"More or less ......"

I saw Sakel raise his axe, facing the opponents who were waiting for him, his eyes were serious:

"It's not fair. ”

Since I can remember, the demon king named Zhou Gengzhijian used his cruel rule to shroud the sky of the kingdom's bloodline, with no hope and no sunlight.

But suffering readers are privately rumoring that the world wasn't like this a long, long time ago, when the sun could be seen in the sky and people's faces were full of hope.

It is believed that one day, the gloom will dissipate, the demon king will fail, and the long-lost hero will finally return.

Its name is - the sword of the sun!
