Kingdom’s Bloodline

An eerie silence returned to the dungeon.

Right now.

"wrong."

The only person in the royal guard who escaped from prison, Samir interjected coldly:

"If your goal is to wake the king up, why don't you single-handedly assassinate your so-called queen of disaster with the legendary anti-demon weapon?"

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

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

He remembered the catastrophe of the Canxing royal family in the Year of Blood that Gilbert told him back then, and couldn't help frowning.

"Why use such an extreme method?"

Saker didn't speak.

Samir went on to question:

"Besides, why do you still want to put the entire Canxing royal family on your elimination list, and you won't stop until you kill them all?"

Sackel's lips trembled.

The color faded from his face, and he stared blankly at Samir.

"Yes," Tardin joined the conversation with a pale face:

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

He bit his lip, unable to speak.

Sackel looked at Semir and Tardin for a long time.

until he sighed:

"That was not my intention."

Looking at this scene, Thales felt complicated, but he immediately thought of another question.

"Whose intention is that?"

The prince's statement caught the attention of others:

"You didn't tell the whole truth."

Thales raised his voice:

"Tell me, those people who cooperated with you to assassinate the king, those people who intended to subvert the Star Kingdom, who are they?"

the most important is……

"That group of disasters back then, what are they and His Majesty Eddie plotting to cause such a catastrophe?" Thales asked through gritted teeth.

Sackel seemed overwhelmed by the question.

He was silent for a long time, after all he just shook his head and still didn't answer.

"besides."

Samuel spoke again.

"If what you said is true, then why," the former chief flag officer stared at the former punishment knight:

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

"Didn't you accomplish your goal? You are not afraid of taking responsibility, let alone death, and you are even willing to take the blame for me who escaped... With your character, shouldn't you be as you are now, openly and frankly telling the truth, Going to trial?"

Sakeel's lips were getting tighter and tighter, but the prisoners in the guards gradually noticed this doubt, and frowned and looked at him.

"Why did you hide it for eighteen years?"

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

"Why did you suddenly pop up now, tell us these things, tell us that you are the bloody traitor?"

"Are you going to live like this forever, until you die, if I haven't stepped in here and they haven't let you out?"

Sackel remained motionless, but once again sank his face into the darkness beyond the light of the fire.

"Even," Semir gritted his teeth and raised his arms, startling Thales:

"Why is your target this prince!"

At this moment, Thales was shocked!

Oops.

why prince...

"What are you still hiding?"

Samir hissed:

"Is there any secret that you would rather bring to Yinhe than say it?"

Thales looked at Kuai Rope, who had been restlessly trying to escape, and felt bad.

Why……

Back on this topic again?

Including Little Barney, all the guards looked at Sackel suspiciously, and many people turned their attention to Thales again.

bad.

Thales gritted his teeth secretly.

Sackel didn't reveal my secret before, maybe because he still has guilt towards the royal family,

I don't want to tarnish Canxing's reputation...

But now...

Thales glanced anxiously at Sack El, who seemed to be hesitating.

Now, he has revealed the truth that Eddie II had an alliance with the magician.

He already... has nothing to hide, right?

At this moment, Sackel spoke silently.

"spiritualism."

The penalty knight is plain and authentic.

This made others, especially Thales, startled.

spiritualism?

What's the meaning?

Sakeel took a slow breath, with deep vigilance in his eyes.

"Whether it's the invasion of the Bone Prison today, or the appearance of this Highness, whether it's the Sword of Disaster, the Shield of Shadows, or even the Dragon Breaker."

"...None of them are coincidences."

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

no coincidence...

Sackel suddenly raised his head and looked at Thales.

"That dagger of yours, Your Highness."

dagger?

Thales couldn't help swallowing his throat.

What?

Bearing the suspicious eyes of others, he resisted the desire to reach out and touch JC.

The tone of the penalty knight was indifferent, and there seemed to be a chill between the words:

"I know that it is made of dark steel smelted underground by the dwarves—it is similar to the material of the Supreme Sword—but it is mixed with special asphalt for another purpose, which is very different."

Before Thales could react, Sackel's next sentence revealed the origin of JC:

"That's the Assassin's Flower, the exclusive weapon of the Surriton family."

"It is the proof that every Surreyton ends his training and begins his career as an assassin."

Everyone was shocked!

Even Quick Rope looked at Thales in horror.

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

he knows.

But……

Sackel's eyes were full of vigilance and fear, as if the mentally unstable escaped prisoner just now was just an illusion.

"This dagger appeared in your hand, Your Highness, including the coercive and lure attitude of those Shadow Assassins just now, what does it mean?"

"As a participant in the assassination back then, I don't know why they re-infiltrated the Canxing royal family and got close to such a special... you."

When talking about "the special you", Sackel paused again, which shocked Thales into a cold sweat.

"But it must be related to the year, the bad luck brought by those disasters, and their unsuccessful conspiracy."

The eyes of the guard prisoners flickered, moving back and forth between Thales and Sackel.

This time, the penalty knight was full of vigilance, as if he had enemies in his eyes.

"I can feel that someone is not reconciled."

"They refused to let go of the tragedy of the past."

Sackel's eyes were burning:

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

"spiritualism."

spiritualism?

Thales stared blankly at Sack El.

No.

it's not like that……

He turned his head with difficulty.

This dagger, this dagger was once Yala, it was given to him by her...

But thinking of this, Thales paused for a moment.

Wait a moment.

JC and Assassin's Flower may have misunderstood, but Shadow Shield...

Thales couldn't help but think of what Qianzi said in my tavern.

[From assassinating members of the royal family almost crazily eighteen years ago, to now doing everything possible to ensure the survival of that prince...]

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

【The existence of that prince must mean something. 】

Sackel ignored the prince's abnormal state, but continued speaking on his own, with words like ice:

"They have to be stopped."

He bit on the word "prevention" firmly and beyond doubt:

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

After Sack El's voice fell, Thales only felt a chill down his spine.

Samir laughed.

"Calling the soul," Samir repeated, shaking his head, seemingly disdainful:

"That's a poor reason."

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

"enough!"

At this moment, Little Barney seemed to have run out of patience, and he interrupted Semir without any scruples.

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

"So, you're not going to be caught without a fight, but you're going to continue to attack the prince, right?" Little Barney looked straight ahead at Sackel.

Saker was silent for a second.

He didn't answer directly, but just repeated what he said just now:

"They have to be stopped."

Hearing this, Little Barney's expression became more and more grim.

"very good."

The former vanguard officer took off the shield hanging behind his back, raised his long sword, and pointed at Sackel with a murderous look:

"Then you must be stopped, too."

Little Barney faded away all hesitation and concern, and said coldly: "In the name of the royal guard, we must count the crimes and punish the betrayal."

"Justice."

Thales immediately felt that everyone's bodies and nerves tensed up.

Belletti, Brie, Tardin, Cannon, Nye, Naki, and the prisoners of the Royal Guard slowly dispersed, regained their weapons, stood in formation, and showed their murderous intent.

But no longer aimed at Thales and Fast Rope.

Instead, he pointed directly at the penalty knight in front of him.

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

It was as if they had returned to the wartime state, as if the scene where the old people met just now was just an illusion.

Thales subconsciously squeezed Ricky's sword tightly, while Kuaisheng rolled his eyes and raised the crossbow in his hand.

"Are you ready to accept your trial?" Little Barney stared at Sackel unceremoniously, the disgust and hatred in his eyes were almost overflowing:

"traitor?"

The penalty knight silently accepted their gazes.

"Of course," Sackel sighed, and slowly picked up his axe. Following the words, the sorrow on his face turned into firmness:

"Every day, every hour, every second."

"I'm all set."

At this moment, it was as if someone pulled the timeline back to just now, and the punishment knight and his former colleagues became hostile again.

The fast rope tugged Thales, indicating whether he should run away now or during the fight.

But Thales shook his head.

He felt the solemnity and tension in the field - but it didn't come from the opposing sides.

But just one of them.

"Barney?"

Naki raised his weapon, stared at the former watchman in front of him, swallowed his saliva in embarrassment, and cautiously said, "He has one person, we have seven."

Barney frowned.

"No, eight."

Semir interjected lightly, holding his sword and walking to Saker's flank, his eyes gleaming with anger:

"All debts must be settled today."

Sackel glanced at Semir, with unknown emotions flashing in his eyes, but said nothing.

Little Barney also took a look at this prison escape coward he despised, pursed his lips, shook his head and said:

"Very well, eight."

Ever since, the former nine members of the royal guard, the nine members whose faces were branded with bright stars, and the nine members who hadn't seen each other for eighteen years...

Face each other in this moment and take up arms.

"A pair of eights, no," Nucky sighed softly, and said to himself:

"Too big a disparity."

The rest of the royal guards frowned.

Too much disparity?

With a thought in his mind, Thales heard the heaviness in the words.

Sakeel glanced lightly, and looked at everyone again, as if he was observing the battlefield.

"Yeah, I know."

He spoke softly, let go of all unnecessary emotions, and became the calmest and most terrifying punishment knight again.

"One for me, hit eight of you."

Sakeel lifted the fighting ax upside down, and took a step forward.

Step, step, step.

"Indeed, this is for you..."

His momentum and pressure slowly accumulate with the number of steps, like a huge wave that seems to be slow in the distance, but will eventually hit.

"More or less..."

I saw Sackel raised his ax and faced the opponents who were waiting in full battle, his eyes were serious:

"Not fair."

As far back as I can remember, the demon king named Zhou Gengzhijian used his cruel rule to cover the sky of the kingdom's bloodline, without hope or sunshine.

But the suffering readers are whispering in private: Long, long ago, the world was not like this. At that time, the sun could be seen in the sky, and people's faces were full of hope.

People believe that one day, the haze will dissipate, the devil king will fail, and the long-lost hero will finally return.

Its name is—Sword of Day Watch!
