Chapter 32: Blades and Wings

In the darkness, Tails followed the fleeing crowd, walking in trepidation. [This chapter is the first release, love, there is, sound, remember the URL ()]

The warriors of the White Guards had split into three groups, one searching forward for danger and one guarding against possible pursuers.

The last team was guarded around them.

Nicolas walked at the front of the group, sighing deeply in the darkness.

"When?" he said hoarsely.

No one answered him.

Until Miranda's voice came from the side.

"If I had to guess," the swordswoman said lightly, "from the beginning." ”

Nicolas fell silent for a second.

"It's possible that he was just deceived," the current commander of the White-Bladed Guard asked in a low mood, "You know, the Black Sand Collar forged information about the Sword of Calamity and passed it on to the Kaslan ......"

Tails let out a breath as he felt mental exhaustion begin to take his toll again.

Whatever is ahead......

Come on......

Let's get to the end.

"Come on. The answer to the Meteorite was an impatient Cohen, who walked at the back of the group, a little louder.

"Your hypocritical ex-boss, come out to deal with us in person," the vigilante sneered, "and knocked me down with two punches from the soldiers hiding in the Black Sand Collar." ”

"Then you should be honored," Nikolai looked up suddenly, suppressed his anger, and said coldly in the darkness, "Not everyone is qualified to withstand Kathlan's two punches. ”

Cohen frowned and was about to retort, but Raphael interrupted him.

"Able to help in a shocking way," Raphael narrowed his eyes, "and now we know how they managed to open the gates silently and bloodlessly." ”

Nicolas bowed his head and did not speak.

No one saw it, and his eyes were full of complicated meanings at the moment.

Tails' heart moved.

"Wait, if Kaslan knew about this secret passage in the first place," the prince muttered in the procession, "and how did you still have a chance to sneak in?"

Nicolas looked up.

But it was Cohen who answered.

"Maybe I want to wait for the White Blade Guards to arrive," the vigilante officer gritted his teeth, "Solve it again." ”

None of the others spoke.

The atmosphere became oppressive.

"Look, they're guarding us, first to the secret department, and then to the White Blade Guard," Cohen's words weren't over, but he said angrily, "Is there a more vivid tactical case than this?"

Nicolas threw a hard punch and slammed it into the wall.

"Bang!"

Even in the dark, everyone looked sideways.

The Starfall looked up and exhaled.

Nicolai's eyes turned cold again.

"you, Kaslan. The Meteorite said coldly.

Raphael snorted softly, meaning unclear.

At this time.

"Well, perhaps, outside of the argument......" Tails' voice interjected abruptly, his words tinged with weariness.

"What should we think about?"

The second prince said silently: "If there is only one exit from the secret passage. ”

Nicola clenched his fist slightly.

The Starfall suddenly laughed.

"We don't have a choice," he said softly, "don't we." ”

As a result, a group of people could only continue to walk in a strange atmosphere, nervously walking on the secret passage.

Waiting for the dangerous unknown on the road ahead.

Walk towards that equally mysterious exit.

Tails sighed slightly, but at this moment, he could only abandon all distractions and concentrate on following the team.

The figure of another child moved to his side.

A weak voice whispered in his ear, "Tails." ”

"I can't escape, can I? ”

It was hard to see the little slippery expression in the darkness, but Tails could hear it, her voice full of sadness and despair.

Tails sighed.

He was already annoyed, but now he really didn't feel comfortable comforting the little girl.

"Don't worry," Tails said absentmindedly, "even if there is an ambush ahead, we must have a way to escape......"

But the voice of the little slippery head suddenly became louder.

"No!"

Her emotions seemed to be a little agitated.

Tails was slightly stunned.

"That's not what I'm talking about," she gasped in the dark, her voice frightened, "I mean...... They, they all found me, they found me......"

"I, I can't escape, I can't leave!"

The reaction of the little slippery head made even Nicolai and the others who were talking on the other side couldn't help but look sideways.

Tails reacted at this time, and vaguely understood what the little slippery head was talking about.

What she meant was ......

Tails approached the little slippery head,

The second prince tightened his breathing, feeling the body of the little slippery head rise and fall slightly beside him.

"They, they call me...... Miss Walton ......" Little Slippery spoke quietly, trying to keep her body steady, but Tails still felt the trepidation in her heart.

Tails' mood darkened.

"They won't let me go......" The little slippery head has unconsciously brought a hint of crying.

That's right.

In the butcher's shop, it was said that this little maid had planned to slip away quietly after escaping.

But now......

Tails looked up and glanced in their direction from Nicolais.

The Whiteblade Guards have found her, the Scarlet Witch has recognized her, and Rumba has known her.

King Nunn left her more than a ring, an identity, and a curse.

A curse that once joined, you can't quit the game.

The prince's heart was gloomy.

And that's not all.

Tails then remembered the present after King Nunn's death.

There was chaos in Longxiao City.

Walton's future is at stake, and the Dragonlance in the Clouds may no longer be able to rule the city.

Exeter's six-hundred-year-old dragon kingdom is about to fall into an unknown torrent whirlpool, with an uncertain future and unpredictable fortune.

Also, Rumba is leading his army and vassals to blame Tails for the assassination of the king, although as the prince of the stars, he is not entirely innocent, and continues to carry out his unsuspecting plot in secret.

What does that tyrant want to do?

Where will he take Longxiao City, Exeter, and the two great powers of the Western Continent?

And these ......

Tails turned his head, and in the darkness he could make out the silhouette of the little maid.

Are these things really borne by this little girl who has undergone great changes overnight, experienced life and death, and sobbed in the dark?

Tails sighed softly, and he felt the little slippery hand in the dark.

It was a pair of dusty little hands, trembling and cold.

The little slippery hand's hand shrank slightly.

"Are you scared?" said Tails, in his softest tone.

The sobs of the little slippery head paused slightly.

"Well," she nodded in the unseen darkness, "I'm sorry, but I'm really ......"

"Just be afraid. Tails said lightly.

The sound of Xiao Slipper's breathing suddenly stopped.

"I'm as scared as you are. Tails' voice rang in her ears.

The little slippery head was stunned.

"So we have to remember it," the prince couldn't help but clench his fists slightly as he saw the night on Hongfang Street, "Remember this fear of being slaughtered by others and not being able to make your own choices." ”

"I was disgusted by the feeling," Tails muttered, "and the disgust outweighed even the fear I felt." ”

Little Slippery didn't speak, she listened quietly to Tails' words.

"So, try to hate it, hate this involuntary situation, hate the situation where you have to be a Walton," Tails shook her hand gently, "You won't be scared of being a Walton anymore." ”

The little slippery head whispered softly: "Disgusted?"

Tails pressed her hand.

"Yes. ”

"It is because of the aversion to it that we will be free from this fear, in order to be free to choose one day, that we will become strong," he said unquestioningly, "and there is no need to be afraid. ”

"When you can face the future fearlessly...... the prince took a deep breath.

For some reason, at that moment, what appeared in front of his eyes was actually the figure of Ms. Ji Ni.

It was the day when she wore high-heeled boots and walked heroically into the Hall of the Stars alone and proudly behind the King.

It was the unique bearing that she ignored the countless eyes on her side.

Tails' pupils constricted slightly: "At that time, you will definitely be able to make choices freely without being swayed by anything." ”

Little Slipper sniffed and fell silent.

Tails was lost in his own musing, silent.

Soon, the first White-Bladed Guards returned to join them.

Cohen and the others nervously unsheathed their swords as they heard the sound of their footsteps.

However, the other party brought several strange news.

"What?"

"Didn't find it?"

Nicolai frowned.

"No," one of the leading guards shook his head in the darkness and replied to his superior's question, "whether it was an ambush in the dark, a trap, a trap, or a man in the open, we didn't find anything, and we were going to the exit soon." ”

The Meteorite frowned.

"Is this normal?" said Raphael's voice from behind.

Nicollet shook his head.

"It shouldn't be like this," the commander of the Whiteblade Guard muttered, "Kaslan should know about this secret passage. ”

Cohen's voice also came from behind: "Could it be that he still doesn't know what is going on here?"

"Possibly," Miranda whispered, "or maybe he's been delayed by something." ”

"Maybe they're lying in ambush outside the exit," Waiya raised an eyebrow, his voice full of worry, "waiting to catch us all." ”

Tails let out a breath from his nose and interrupted them with a loud voice.

"All right," the second prince only felt a headache, "it is useless for us to talk too much. ”

"Whatever awaits you," Tails said dejectedly, "we have only one answer, don't we?"

They can only move forward.

There is no way back.

Just like he was on the battlefield in front of the fortress.

Only forward.

The darkness fell silent again.

With an indescribable sense of nervousness, everyone hit the road again.

For several minutes, only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard in the darkness of the secret passage.

The invisible darkness, the dull and monotonous rhythm and the bottomless panic in my heart made the atmosphere more and more solemn.

For this reason, Tails can only secretly count the steps in his heart to relieve his increasingly depressed psychological state.

Finally, when Tails counted to the seventh hundred and twenty-eighth or the eighth hundred and twenty-seventh steps, a faint reflection began to appear on the walls on both sides of the front.

Everyone was in good spirits.

But the nerves that had just been somewhat relaxed and relieved also became tense.

"That's the exit. Nicolai pressed his hand to the hilt of his knife and whispered to the man behind him:

"Be careful. ”

The group immediately fell silent.

Cohen let out a breath, shook his shoulders, and slowed his pace.

Miranda and Raphael remained silent and seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Tails didn't dare to take a breath for fear of disturbing something unknown.

But as their vision brightened, they moved faster and faster.

As they approached the exit, the light ahead grew brighter.

Until the exit appeared unmistakably at the end of the deep tunnel in front of him, a hole that transmitted a blinding white light.

Nicollet sighed.

The nerves of the crowd were also relaxed.

It's not because of safety, but because of being in a dark and oppressive environment for a long time, even the spirit has become abnormal.

So the moment I saw the exit, it was like something I had been anxiously waiting for, and it finally came to fruition.

Albeit.

This result is not very good.

A figure stood silently at the exit.

Tails' heart sank.

"Is that the one answering?" he asked softly.

"Of course not," Nikolai shook his head, no longer lowering his voice, "He's not stupid enough to stand at the entrance of the cave. ”

The meteorite's expression became calm, as if there was some relief?

Cohen sighed.

The Whiteblade Guards quietly dispersed, shielding the little slippery head's surroundings.

Miranda pressed the hilt of her sword and opened her lips lightly, "Are you ready to fight?"

Raphael narrowed his eyes: "Do you see who that is?"

"I can't see it clearly," the corners of Miranda's mouth curled slightly, "but that figure...... It's all too familiar. ”

Cohen frowned, "Familiar? you mean, Chloehi?"

Nicolas ignored the arguments that followed.

He made a gesture to the person behind him, and then a man strode forward.

Walk towards the figure.

The figure tilted its head slightly, the light shining on his face.

When everyone saw the appearance of the person who came, they were suddenly shocked.

That's not earth-shaking, it's not Kaslan.

"Meet again," said Nicolai, who walked ten paces away from the comer, and sighed softly:

"Ms. Kassan. ”

In front of him, the Red Witch smiled slightly, nodding kindly as always.

Tails looked incredulously at the Scarlet Witch who had reappeared in front of him, and he turned his head to look behind him, then back to look at Kassan.

How did she ...... so quickly?

"Kaslan told you about the secret passage. Nicola said coldly.

The Scarlet Witch smiled faintly.

"I just found out, don't blame him," the old woman observed Nicolai's position, and then raised her eyebrows, "It's close enough, Lord Nicolai." ”

The Starfall stopped.

His hand was still pressed against the Soul Breaker.

"Where is he?" said Nicollet, who had to squint his eyes because of the backlight, unable to see what was happening outside the cave.

Kashan looked at him and sighed, "He's not going to show up." ”

Nicolas tightened the handle of his sword.

"Hmph," Nikolai looked away, his voice full of disdain, "coward." ”

Behind him, Tails frowned, "They're too far away too...... Nothing can be heard. ”

He tried to activate the Sins of the Hell, but the loss of the finishing power in the secret passage was too great, and he called out several times, but the Sins of the Hellriver did not respond.

Miranda gave a strange look: "Why is there only one Red Witch?"

"Maybe it's an old trick," Cohen looked around suspiciously, holding Tails' side tightly, "the big guy with the knife might be nesting in some gutter, intending to jump out like he did last time." ”

"Alert," Raphael said quietly, "this time, we have no backup. ”

"Well," Wyaa whispered, "when will they start fighting?"

Tails looked at the two people who were talking, and his heart was heavy: "We'll know." ”

Nicolais's gaze returned to Kassan's.

"What about you, Tulha," the Starfall looked at Kassan, estimating the distance between the two, and said in a cold voice, "Where is your ambush?"

The Scarlet Witch sighed slowly.

"Outside," Kashan nodded, bowing slightly, "The crossbow archers you can't imagine are lurking in the most tricky corners, and they are all good at sniping and assassinating in the dark room." ”

"As for the Black Sand Collar...... I'm not going to involve them in this hunt. ”

Nicolai's pupils constricted slightly.

He hated the feeling.

On the battlefield, the feeling of being locked to the death.

His eyes gradually adjusted to the light, and through the hole he saw that the scene outside was still empty.

Nicolai looked back at the Red Witch's eyes, and his pale face moved slightly: "Aren't you afraid, I'll hold you hostage again?"

Kasan let out a friendly smile: "Oh, I'm prepared this time, I'm afraid you won't be so easy." ”

Nicolai's uneasiness grew heavier, and he looked at the old woman steadily, and did not speak again.

"Then what are you waiting for," the Meteorite said coldly, "Do it, or do you think that as long as we are blocked here, we will surrender obediently?"

But to his surprise, Kashan shook her head: "Of course not. ”

"I do have all the advantages," the Scarlet Witch said lightly, "but that's not what I want, senseless violence and death won't help." ”

"We're not done yet. ”

"It's only for the Whiteblade Guards and the Darkroom, it's only for the Blade and Wing conversation. ”

Nicolas was slightly stunned.
