Chapter 690 Honorary Revenge
"Keep running, don't stop!"
Accompanied by the urging sound of Xi Lai, Thales and his party stepped on the sewage under their feet and ran for their lives in the dim tunnel.
The tunnel was filled with strange white smoke, which continuously passed through the cracks and evaporated from the ground and even the walls, affecting the vision and seriously slowing down their speed.
"Damn, how did that bastard..."
Glover held a torch and followed behind Thales and Hillary, pressing his forehead painfully from time to time, apparently not completely free from the influence of his power: "How did you find us?"
Behind him came Rolfe's resentful grunt and Kathleen's pained cry.
"I have a subordinate—his—Sangare has dogs, including hounds, and has a very smart nose," Huanben was lying on Rolf's back, groaning sullenly, "We're here when we arrive. Here, blood all over, the smell of blood - uh!"
"Cough, no one wonders what the smoke is about?"
Slimani waved away the white smoke in front of him in disgust, leaning on a wooden pole and limping in the roundabout tunnel: "This is a sewer - damn, there's a dead fly! And a big smokehouse?"
Amidst the rushing sound of the water, Shi Lai's voice came from the front:
"Maybe there really is, there's all sorts of weird stuff going on in this tunnel—oh, watch out, there's a rock here!"
But at the front of the team, Thales did not say a word.
The senses of continue to operate: On this escape road filled with white smoke, there are mice and cockroaches that have just died. Spiders, insects and ants that originally liked to hide in the corners of the tide rushed to the wall and ran like them. And flies and moths fell from overhead, twitching and twitching on the damp ground...
It's just that the others were blocked by the thick white smoke, so they didn't realize it.
what happened?
Thales shook his head, a little dazed.
The white smoke also faintly revealed a fishy smell that was hard for ordinary people to smell, which gave him an ominous feeling.
The boy took a deep breath and tried to concentrate.
"No... who are you..."
The sound of the fight between Lausanne II and the mysterious reinforcements penetrated the wall and was caught in his ears by the senses of hell. Only the last vague endings remained:
"Could it be... injustice... self-defeating... can't figure out... crazy... easier... let go of obstacles... beep—"
The words were mixed with sharp tinnitus at the end, which made Thales look in pain and cover his ears subconsciously.
Damn! So harsh!
"Are we really not going to help?"
Glover moved away a bunch of obstacles and let others pass. He couldn't help looking back, but he could only see a cloud of smoke.
"That... strong man, let him resist that Lausanne alone?"
"Whoever of you likes to go!"
Slimani scrambled to get past the obstacle: "I'm not going anyway!"
Catherine reluctantly fell to the ground and held Rolfe's shoulder: "I know, we will remember and appreciate him - now run!"
"Believe me, we're just going to get in the way," Sheila took the conversation with a calm tone, "The real thing to worry about now is..."
She did not go on.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet!"
Srimani interrupted everyone impatiently: "This has turned a few turns, where is the exit?"
yes.
Thales, who had just recovered from the pain, trembled slightly and his mind moved.
Yes, what about the export?
What about the exit of the ghoul tunnel?
Plop, plop, plop...
He took a deep breath and tried his best to look up and look forward: the firelight can only illuminate a few meters in front of him, and the distance is obscured by white smoke.
"Exit, the exit should be..." Thales said in a trance.
Plop, plop, plop...
I don't know why, but his heart is beating so fast now, and his body feels so hot.
Every time I took a step, there was a strange touch and the sound of water splashing under my feet.
And this dim tunnel seems to have no end...
Do not.
Plop! thump!
His heart beat faster and his breathing was rapid.
The exit to the ground...
"It should be here! But..."
Thales covered his forehead and frowned fiercely.
Strange, with the blessing of "never get lost", he should know the way.
It’s like they just walked through the streets and alleys of the Emerald City. It’s like they just came down the tunnel. Although the route is complicated, Thales clearly knows which floor they are on, where they turn, and in which direction…
but why?
Why did he suddenly - Thales looked at the faint white smoke coming out of his feet in disbelief - and couldn't find his way?
Is the blessing of "never get lost" out of order?
Like being in... a great desert?
The white smoke that began to diffuse from nowhere became more and more dry, dazzling, and pungent, making Thales restless.
"Why not..."
Thales was fascinated, his eyes were scattered, and he only felt that the ground became more and more uneven: "Exit, why hasn't it arrived yet..."
At this moment, his arm was grabbed by someone!
Thales woke up and found Shi Lai standing behind him, trying to support his shaky self.
"Calm, focus."
Xilai's voice was calm and his eyes were firm, which made Thales gradually sober and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Behind her, both Glover and Rolfe looked at him with worried expressions: "Your Highness, are you too tired? I can carry you..."
Thales quickly stood firm and looked forward:
"No, no need, we continue, so the exit is..."
"It's not too far," Xilai reassured, "don't panic, we're not going the same way, we're going to another exit: follow this direction and ignore some small turns. The is rising..."
Under her command, the group set off again.
"What's that, Sheila?"
Thales leaned against Shi Lai beside him, looked at the white smoke under his feet, and whispered:
"what are these?"
Hiley didn't lift his head, just tried to support him:
"It's autumn, it's cold, and the sewers are steaming hot... Concentrate, Thales, we have to go out, concentrate."
Thales frowned and was about to ask, but suddenly found out:
Shirai was bowing her head deeply, her eyelashes trembling.
not only that.
Thales lowered his head: Shi Lai's hands supporting his arms were shaking slightly, even through the gloves.
is like…
Like on the street, her gloves were ripped off.
Thales was stunned.
He closed his mouth, turned his head, and concentrated on his journey.
It turned out that Hille's guidance was more accurate than Thales's sense of finding the way. After a few minutes, they turned a corner, and the light in front of them suddenly appeared, and the air was fresh.
Slimani cheered, the first one rushed out, and the rest were excited too, and they all followed!
Thales also gritted his teeth and ran forward - no one wants to stay in this foul-smelling place for even a second longer.
Finally, they crossed the thin white smoke, rushed out of the narrow and blocked tunnel exit, stumbled down a large full of garbage and mud, and breathed fresh air again.
"Ah! We're finally out!"
Slimani slumped on the ground, looking at the setting sun in the distance, unable to hold back his tears.
Rolfe carefully put down the reluctant Kathleen, feeling exhausted himself.
"Damn, it's all over!"
Glover frowned and looked at the last inch of the sun's figure on the horizon: "I have to inform the Lord quickly..."
At this moment, all of them were embarrassed, disheveled, their clothes were messy, and they smelled more or less.
Thales bent down and held his knees, panting for breath.
He felt the warmth of the setting sun on his face, and he also felt the rest of his life.
strangeness.
He gritted his teeth: After leaving the range of white smoke, it seems, the power that never gets lost has returned?
And he is no longer in a trance?
Thales glanced to the side: Hillary was pale, not thinking.
"Where is this?"
Everyone looked up, only to find that they were under a bridge pier, and there was a faint noise of the crowd above their heads.
"I recognize that it is the North Gate Bridge, and beyond that is the New Suburbs," Catherine gritted her teeth and tightened the bandages, "the territory of the black silks."
"Where are we going now?" Slimani wondered.
But at this moment, Thales felt something, raised his head subconsciously, and was surprised!
Everyone followed his gaze and turned back, also shocked!
is Lausanne II.
I don't know when, the killer in black appeared on the behind them, looking down at them.
looks cold.
Slim figure.
The long sword in his hand is all broken, with countless gaps.
"Fuck!" Kathleen was the first to scold.
"It's him again!" Glover subconsciously stood up and raised his knife, "Pinch yourself, concentrate, don't get caught!"
"Why can't he get rid of it?" Slimani looked terrified.
Rolf stomped his feet hard.
In the chaos, Thales frowned and looked back at the killer in black on the slope, while Hillary stared at the tunnel behind him.
As the sun sets in the west, the bridge piers cast shadows, dividing the in two:
Lausanne was above, shrouded in dim shadows.
Thales is down, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The is uphill and downhill, one black and one red, the difference is as if two worlds.
"boom!"
A bunch of fireworks flew into the sky and exploded colorful.
Everyone was startled, and they only reacted when there were cheers one after another from the top of their heads:
The sunset is coming to an end, and another night of Emerald Celebration begins.
"Where's the strong man? Where's the rescuer?" Glover asked cautiously.
"I said, we will remember him." Kathleen sighed.
"Don't stand still, run!" Slimani urged with a crying voice.
Xilai looked solemn and looked around vigilantly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Bunch of fireworks exploded brightly, shining in the air, covering the fading sunset.
At that moment, the two worlds, one black and one red, briefly blended together.
Lausanne looked at the fireworks in mid-air, and then looked at Thales.
Thales sighed and stepped forward:
"Okay, Lausanne II, we are all tired, let's stop for today."
Lausanne was silent and did not speak.
The next second, he lifted the broken long sword and slammed it on the ground!
Slimani was overjoyed: "He agreed?"
But Thales frowned:
In the senses of hell, Lausanne II is like a bottomless darkness, cold and lonely.
I saw the black-clothed killer calmly took out the black mask, covered his face again, and tidied up his clothes.
only showed a pair of cold eyes.
"What does he mean?"
Slimani frowned: "Is it 'it's time, I have to get off work'?"
In the next second, Lausanne, who was covered and dressed up, picked up the sword on the ground!
He took a step, walked down the slope, and approached them.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"No," Kathleen sighed deeply, "I guess it's 'it's time, I'm going to work'."
"Why is he so dedicated," Slimani said, "It's all overtime work -- is the overtime pay really that high?"
Glover flicked the blade with a ruthless expression on his face:
"Dumb, you take your Highness to go first, I will come to the Queen."
He hesitated for a second, but still looked at Thales:
"Your Highness, if I...please tell her, I'm sorry—"
But before the zombie finished speaking, Rolfe walked over him firmly, stood in front of him, and made a gesture:
【Don't think about it. 】
Don’t imagine yourself alone in front of His Highness and be a hero.
Glover frowned: "I won't make trouble with you, you run faster than me..."
"No, you two stand back and run with them," Thales interrupted them without question, "I'll come to the rear of the palace."
Glover and Rolfe both change color.
"Don't worry," Thales pointed to Lausanne II who was getting closer, "He won't hurt me."
"Are you sure?" Hillary said in a suspicious tone.
Thales shook his head and stepped forward to block the people behind him.
"Did Jenn warn you?"
Thales said loudly to Lausanne, and pointed to the fireworks above his head: "Hide your identity, act low-key, and don't act in public and make a big scene that is difficult to handle!"
But Lausanne did not answer.
He just stepped forward.
"Your Highness?" Glover spoke worriedly, but Thales raised his hand to stop him.
"Go back, you've done your best," Thales looked at Lausanne II who was getting closer, launched the crime of the prison river, and was ready to block his raid with his body at any time, "The rest, me and yours Employers will negotiate…
In the next instant, Lausanne's figure flashed and disappeared from his sight!
Ok?
The crime of Hell River jumped violently, making Thales' heart shiver.
"No!" Glover's roar sounded.
boom!
While the sword wind whistled, Thales only felt that he had been hit hard and was dizzy.
"Plop!"
With a muffled sound, Thales came back to his senses, only to realize that he was slammed to the ground by Shi Lai!
What?
Thales turned his head in a trance:
Lausanne II appeared in front of Thales's position just now, and the broken blade went deep into the ground, slicing the soil in two.
"Fool!" Hillary pressed against him, gnashing her teeth.
and many more.
Lord Lausanne II, he just wanted to - Thales lying on the ground, opened his eyes wide to react - kill me?
He's not afraid...
The next second, before Thales could react, Glover and Rolfe swung to Lausanne angrily!
But this time, the black-clothed killer had indifferent eyes, and the sword light flashed between his body shapes!
"Shut!"
It was only a face-to-face, Glover groaned in pain, and the blade fell to the ground, but he was as brave as him, ignoring the blood of his right hand, instead of retreating, he rushed forward to the blade of Lausanne II!
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound. Seeing that Glover was in danger for a moment, Rolfe came with an electric shot, knocking the zombie out two meters away, worthy of avoiding the sword's edge.
But the wind whistled, and Lausanne's blade followed him, catching up with Rolfe!
"No!" Thales roared.
"Clang!"
The metal was clanging, Rolf flipped in a circle in the air, and fell to the ground, hugging his knees and struggling with a whimper, obviously in pain.
"I wanted to chop off your legs, annoying fleas," Lausanne II looked at Rolfe, and at the "calf" lying beside him, his voice was mechanically indifferent, "In the end, huh, prosthetic legs?"
Kathleen looked at the metal calf prosthesis that fell on the ground, her eyes changed.
Glover spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but eventually fell back.
Lausanne turned around and looked at the remaining two.
Slimani reacted, screaming in horror until Kathleen on the side gave him a kick.
Phantom Blade clenched his teeth and stood up, raised his only arm, clenched his fist tremblingly, and opened his posture:
"Bah, Turnbull's wild dog, my mother put her words here: I tm don't regret it!"
Lausanne didn't answer, just slowly raised his sword.
"enough!"
Thales' angry roar sounded!
He gritted his teeth and stood up, trying hard to forget the sword that was about life and death just now:
"If you kill me, your master won't drive—"
But before he finished speaking, Shi Lai behind him grabbed him: "Tales!"
ah?
Thales was stunned, only to realize that Hillary was holding his hand, shaking his head desperately.
"Owner?"
Lausanne II's voice sounded.
Empty, cold, with a hint of mockery.
"Hehehehe... Master, Master, Master here, Master there, Master everywhere..."
He turned around slowly, the gaze on the mask pierced Thales:
"You condescending who thinks you can be more sober and nobler than others, with your privilege in your hands, you just can't... No, it should be everyone in the world, everyone, every moment from birth to death. Slaves who are being raped all the time, and who are accustomed to being ignorant of them... just can't be without their masters, they can't be beaten without whips, right!"
The next second, Lausanne II swayed, he bent down, held his head, and trembled slightly.
is like suffering from a headache.
Thales was startled, and then he reacted: something was wrong with him.
"Whether that master is a teacher, a boss, a boss, a king, a country, rules, ideas, beliefs, love, or any other cowardly scumbag..." Lausanne gritted his teeth and rubbed his forehead, "You just can't stand not having a handful in your mouth. The days when you are in your mouth and no one is poking your ass."
"Even if they are about to smash your and your teeth out, you have to lie to yourself to be grateful and willing to say, 'We, we should live like this!'"
The last roar of the killer in black was exhausted and even changed its pitch.
Thales was shocked.
is wrong.
Lausanne II...
is not the same as before.
So he no longer keeps his hand, even in the face of the Prince of Stars.
"What did it do?" Sheila whispered subconsciously.
Thales turned his head:
"what?"
who?
Who did what?
But Xilai didn't answer him, just stared at the tunnel entrance where the white smoke dissipated:
"What did you do?"
After a few seconds, Lausanne II no longer trembled, he straightened up, his eyes returned to cold, and he looked at Kathleen and Slimani, who was shaking uncontrollably.
Ok.
There is no other way.
The exhausted Thales took a deep breath, took out the JC dagger, and put it on his left palm.
, who was beside him, grabbed him.
"No, please, no, don't go, you don't know it..." Her voice was weak, almost pleading.
Thales had to smile at her and pull her hand away decisively:
"It's okay, it'll be fine."
"boom!"
Another bunch of celebration fireworks exploded in the air, illuminating the bottom of the bridge.
At this moment, Lausanne II was surrounded by wind, a figure turned up from the ground, and rushed towards the black-clothed killer by the wind!
Thales was startled and reacted:
"Rolf, no!"
In the next second, Lausanne II turned around and swung his sword to meet Rolf, who had only one leg and looked resolute!
Time seems to have stopped.
"Ding!"
With a light sound, Lausanne II moved again, but dodged in the opposite direction to Rolf!
Rolfe threw himself in the air, unable to control his balance any longer, and fell to the ground.
After falling together, Thales widened his eyes, as if he had forgotten to breathe.
Lausanne II turned around and looked at the position where he just stood:
An arrow was stuck on the ground, and its feathers trembled.
"Again?" he whispered.
But as soon as Luosang finished speaking, he turned around quickly, worthy of avoiding a long sword that pierced the back of his head!
Lausanne II turned his wrist, fought three times with the people who came, and retreated three steps!
I saw a female swordsman wearing black gloves standing in front of him, coldly throwing away the long sword:
"It's the second round, bastard."
Thales widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Mira!"
Hoo!
The sword wind reappeared, Lausanne II didn't have time to answer, he turned around twice, and set up another long sword with a tricky angle!
"Not bad," Mike Zoneveld, the pioneer officer who appeared to his right, held a sword in his left hand and stared sharply, "Try this trick?"
Lausanne II's sword flashed again, and he had a head-to-head with Zonneveld, but at the same time, a special-shaped long knife struck from the other side!
"Clang! Ding!"
The sword split and closed, and the sharp sound was repeated.
"May you be full of thorns, stranger."
Second Guard Officer, José Custa swung a knife to attack, and said something in his mouth:
"As the stars dim for you."
Luosang was dangerously and dangerously holding the sword and attacking, but there were two daggers, stabbed dangerously from behind him!
This time, Lausanne II had to turn around to the limit, avoid the pinch with a rather embarrassed roll, and escape the encirclement!
"Use your tricks again," Leo Morgan, the second-class pioneer officer, snorted fiercely, shaking off the blood on his sword, "Rats?"
Lausanne II shuddered and stood up slowly:
I don't know when, Miranda, Zoneveld, Kusta, and Morgan, the four were separated and surrounded him.
In the next second, countless torches lit up from all around, illuminating the earth at the bottom of the bridge.
"Pay attention to the formation! Don't let him run away this time!"
Herald Toledo was standing on the northern slope. He stared at Lausanne and slowly drew out his blade. The Itariano logistics officer stood beside him with a languid expression, a crossbow on his shoulders.
On the west side, Pioneer Officer Oskarsen held the torch and held the hilt with the other hand. Capone Punisher tilted his head with a smile and tightened the axe in his hand, while Second-Class Pioneer Officer Fula Teng licked it. Tongue, eyes malicious.
To the south, the vanguard of Nexi looked at Lausanne II with gnashing teeth, with high fighting spirit ("He is mine! One-on-one!"), and the vanguard "Stool" Supa Langley sighed and put the hammer on the On the ground, guard Kongmuto held the scabbard and smiled at Thales.
Eastern, the "ghost" Hugo Forby, the flag-bearer, gently put away the notebook in his hand, Gennard was holding the dark horse Jenny, his eyes were sharp, and Willow was holding a pair of guns, trying his best to make himself look more majestic.
Higher up, Paul Bozdorf calmly lowered his longbow and re-aligned his heart.
Everyone present stared intently at the reinforcements that appeared: Hillary put his hands behind his back subconsciously, Glover exhaled, Rolf lay down in relief, Kathleen brows twitched and she didn't know what to think. Rimani wept with joy.
Under the illumination of fireworks and firelight, Thales looked up happily and swept over the familiar subordinates.
Wait, even the Forbey flag officer who doesn't care about anyone in the guards is here, that is to say...
"Your Highness, you can really run."
A familiar voice came, Thales turned around and raised his head, surprised:
"Thor!"
I saw Mallos appearing at the highest point on the north side, and he nodded lightly to Thales.
"That's right," Thales remembered something, and pointed at the man in black through gritted teeth, "This guy's name is Lausanne II..."
But the watchman glanced at Thales lightly, and the meaning in his eyes made His Royal Highness say something and swallowed.
"We finally meet, killer in black." Mallos turned to Lausanne II, who was surrounded in the field.
Lausanne II did not speak.
He turned around and finally made sure that he had been surrounded in all directions before he knew it, and there was no way for the water to leak.
He looked at the four people who were on guard in front of him, chuckled as if resigned, and lowered his long sword:
"You, you are their leader, the royal guard?"
Mallos looked down at him and said coldly after a few seconds:
"The wine merchant, Dagory Moss died in prison, bloodied and undetected; Diop, the wool merchant, died in the mansion, horrified and emotional - you did it, right? ?"
Thales was startled.
Lausanne II was silent.
"Your ability," Mallos affirmed, "makes them fall into hallucinations, unable to resist calling for help, like a walking corpse being slaughtered by you, while nearby witnesses are attacked together, and when they wake up, they don't know anything about it."
Lausanne II did not deny it, but shook his shoulders and chuckled softly:
"You just found the way to understand and resist my ability?"
A cold light flashed in Mallos' eyes.
"Please go back to the palace immediately, Your Highness, with your 'friend'," the watchman suddenly said to Thales, "If it's too late, I don't know that Caso and Doyle's will be together. What outrageous excuses for a trip have been made up for you."
Thales was stunned for a moment, but he didn't pay attention to Shi Lai, who was holding him back:
"but--"
"It's not disrespectful, Your Highness Thales!"
Marios interrupted him, and his words were firm and unquestionable: "But with you here, we have concerns and can't do our best to clear the blood debt of the guards."
Thales frowned:
"The blood debt of the guards?"
Mallos did not answer the prince, but turned to Lausanne in the field coldly:
"This masked gentleman, whether he started from Kevin Deere's house or from Master Joaquin, Zhang Qiyi couldn't find any information about you."
The flag carrier Toby snorted softly.
However, Mallos’ words changed:
"But I heard you brag to my subordinates that you killed a royal guard?"
Lausanne II didn't move at all, only frowning slightly.
"In view of this, we traced the files of the deceased members of the Royal Guard. If there are no members in the first five years, we will go up to ten years, if not in ten years, it will be twenty years, and finally..."
Mallos paused, and the surrounding royal guards were standing by, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Twenty-three years ago," Mallos said softly, "the first-class flag officer, Joao Acknett returned to his hometown to visit relatives, but died unexpectedly."
Hearing this name, Lausanne slowly raised his head and met Mallos' eyes.
"Acknet's flag officer and 'Skull' Bruno are from the same family. Although they are not as terrifying top masters as the skeleton, they are also superb in swordsmanship, and they are one step away from the extreme realm. It can be seen that the murderer who killed him is not easy. "
Lausanne said nothing.
At that moment, the audience was quiet, only the sound of the strong wind could be heard.
"It's more coincidental that both Aknet and Bruno have served as knight attendants," Mallos' eyes moved, "and their teacher is none other than the imperial swordsman master - Handero Joaquin."
Thales looked at Lausanne in surprise, but the latter remained motionless.
"At that time, the situation was turbulent, and the guards had no time to take care of them. The 'skeleton' led people to search and failed, so the case was forced to shelve," the watchman continued, "After the year, the guards have undergone great changes, and it is impossible to track down old cases. talk."
"until today."
Mallos' voice fell.
The guards in all directions looked serious and silent, just stared at the black-clothed killer in the field.
A few seconds later, Lausanne II burst out laughing.
"That's right, Joao's bad pen," the killer in black sneered, "I killed him."
As soon as these words came out, the Star Lake Guards made a commotion, some snorted, some sighed, some snorted, and some clicked.
Thales frowned.
Mallos closed his eyes gently, then opened them again.
He looked at Thales.
"Okay, Thor," Thales exhaled, stepped forward to help Glover, and greeted Hillary, "Good luck."
Watching Thales and his party leave gradually, Mallos nodded.
The next second, he shouted violently:
"Where the edict comes!"
In all directions, all the royal guards held their heads high and shouted in response:
"The knights are full!"
is uniform, and the momentum is amazing.
saw the soldier Willow envy for a while.
Lausanne II looked at this scene blankly, and looked up at the sky.
Knight.
Knight?
"In the name of the Royal Guard under the High King's Throne."
Under the watchful eyes of the guards in the audience, Mallos took a step forward and unsheathed his sword.
Following his actions, the guards in the field showed their weapons one after another and were gearing up for action.
Lausanne stood alone in the center of the encirclement, with a mutilated sword and torn clothes.
"The fifty-seventh watchman, Tormund Mallos leads the 14 guards under his command," Mallos said with a cold voice and a serious expression, "here is the execution of the late flag officer of the guard, Joao A. Lord Knett's..."
Mallos looked at Lausanne II with a sharp look:
"Honorary Revenge."
boom!
Another fireworks exploded.
illuminates the figure of Lausanne.
and the darkness in his eyes.
