Chapter 194 Revenge of Honor

Chapter 690 Honor Revenge

"Keep running, don't stop!"

Following Hilley's urging, Thales and his group stepped on the sewage under their feet and ran for their lives in the dark tunnel.

The tunnel was filled with strange white smoke, which continuously passed through the gaps and evaporated from the ground and even the walls, affecting their vision and seriously slowing down their speed.

"Damn it, how did that bastard..."

Glover held a torch and followed behind Thales and Hilley, pressing his forehead painfully from time to time. It was obvious that he had not completely gotten rid of the influence of the superpower: "How did you find us?"

Behind him came Rolf's angry grunt and Kathleen's cry of pain.

"I have a subordinate - hiss - Sangarei is a dog breeder, including hounds, and has a very sharp nose." The Phantom Blade lay on Rolf's back, groaning repeatedly as he was jolted, "We're here When I was here, I was covered in blood and smelled like blood—ugh!”

"Ahem, no one is wondering what's going on with this smoke?"

Slimani waved the white smoke away from his eyes in disgust. He leaned on a wooden pole and limped in the winding tunnel: "This is a sewer - damn, a dead fly fell down! Could it be underneath? And a smoking den?”

Amidst the sound of rushing water, Xi Lai's voice came from the front:

"Maybe it's true. There are all kinds of weird things in this tunnel - oh, be careful, there's a rock here!"

But at the front of the team, Thales remained silent.

The senses of hell continue to operate: this escape path filled with white smoke is full of rats and cockroaches that have just died. Spiders, insects and ants that originally like to hide in the dark corners rush up to the wall and run away like them, from time to time. There are also flies and moths falling from the top of the head, fluttering and twitching on the wet ground...

It's just that other people were unaware of it as their sight was blocked by the thick white smoke.

what happened?

Thales shook his head, feeling a little dazed.

The white smoke also contained a faint fishy smell that was difficult for ordinary people to smell, which gave him an ominous feeling.

The boy took a deep breath and tried to concentrate.

"No...what 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, leaving only the last vague tail sounds:

"Is it...unjust...self-destruction...unable to think...mad...it's easier...to throw away worries...beep——"

The words were mixed with sharp tinnitus at the end, which made Thales look painful and cover his ears subconsciously.

Damn it! So harsh!

"Are we really not going to help?"

Glover moved a bunch of obstacles away to let others pass. He couldn't help but look behind him, but he could only see a cloud of smoke.

"That... strong man, let him resist that Luosang by himself?"

"Whoever of you likes to go!"

Slimani scrambled to squeeze through the obstacle: "I'm not going anyway!"

Kathleen reluctantly got down to the ground and held Rolf's shoulders: "I know we will remember and appreciate him - now run!"

"Believe me, if we go, it will only be a hindrance," Hilley took over with a calm tone, "What we should really worry about now is..."

She did not continue.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Slimani interrupted everyone impatiently: "There have been several turns here. Where is the exit?"

yes.

Thales, who had just recovered from the pain, trembled slightly and thought.

Right, where's the exit?

Where is the exit from the corpse tunnel?

Thump, thump, thump...

He took a deep breath and tried to raise his head to look forward: the firelight could only illuminate a few meters in front of him, and any further distance would be obscured by white smoke.

"The exit, the exit should be at..." Thales said in a daze.

Thump, thump, thump...

I don't know why, but his heart is beating so fast now and his body feels so hot.

With every step I took, there was a strange touch and the sound of rushing water under my feet.

And this dark tunnel seems to have no end...

No.

thump! thump!

His heart was racing 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 getting lost", he should know the way.

It was just like they had just walked through the streets and alleys of Emerald City, just like they had just come all the way down the tunnel. Although the route was complicated, Thales clearly knew which floor they were on, where they turned, and in which direction...

but why?

Why did he suddenly - Thales looked at the faint white smoke rising from his feet in disbelief - couldn't find the way?

Is the blessing of "never lost" failing?

Like in...the desert?

The white smoke that spread out from nowhere became drier, dazzling, and pungent, making Thales restless.

"Why not..."

Thales said in a trance, his eyes distracted, and he felt that the ground was getting more and more uneven: "Exit, why haven't we arrived yet..."

At this moment, his arm was grabbed by someone!

Thales woke up with a start and found Xi Lai standing behind him, trying to support his shaky body.

"Calm down and focus."

Xi Lai's voice was calm and his eyes were firm, which made Thales gradually wake up and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Behind her, Glover and Rolf looked at him with worried expressions on their faces: "Your Highness, are you too tired? I can carry you..."

Thales quickly stood firm and looked forward:

"No, no need, let's continue, so the exit is..."

"It's not far," Xi Lai comforted him, "Don't panic, we are not going the original way, we are going to another exit: follow this direction and ignore some small turns. If it becomes more and more difficult, it means The slope is rising..."

Under her command, the group set off again rustlingly.

"What's that, Heeley?"

Thales leaned against Xi Lai beside him, looked at the white smoke at his feet, and whispered:

"what are these?"

Xi Lai didn't even raise his head, just trying to support him:

"It's autumn, the weather is cold, the sewers are steaming with steam...focus, Thales, we have to go out, focus."

Thales frowned and was about to ask more questions, but suddenly found:

Xi Lai was bowing his head deeply, his eyelashes couldn't help trembling.

not only that.

Thales lowered his head: Hilley's hands holding his arms were trembling slightly, and he could feel them even through his gloves.

Like...

Just like the way her gloves were ripped off on the street.

Thales was stunned.

He closed his mouth, turned his head, and concentrated on walking.

It turned out that Hilley's guidance was more accurate than Thales's way finding the way by feeling. A few minutes later, they turned a corner, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them, and the air was fresh.

Slimani cheered and rushed out first, and the rest of the people were also excited and followed suit!

Thales also gritted his teeth and ran forward - no one wanted to stay in this smelly and dirty place for even a second longer.

Finally, they crossed the thinning white smoke, rushed out of the narrow and blocked tunnel exit, stumbled down a large slope full of garbage and sludge, and breathed fresh air again.

"Ah! We are finally out!"

Srimani sat slumped on the ground, looking at the setting sun in the distance, unable to help but burst into tears.

Rolf carefully put down the pain-bearing Kathleen, and he was very tired.

“Damn, it’s already this point!”

Glover frowned and looked at the last inch of the sun on the horizon: "I must inform the Lord quickly..."

At this moment, all of them were in a miserable state, their heads were gray and their faces were dirty, their clothes were dirty, and their bodies smelled more or less.

Thales bent down, held his knees, and couldn't help but breathe.

He felt the warmth of the setting sun on his face, and also felt like he was surviving a disaster.

strangeness.

He gritted his teeth: After leaving the range of the white smoke, it seems that the power that never gets lost is back?

And he's no longer in a trance?

Thales glanced aside: Shilai looked pale and was in a state of confusion.

"Where is this?"

Everyone raised their heads, only to find that they were under a large bridge pier, and the noise of the crowd could be heard faintly above their heads.

"I recognize it. That's Beimen Bridge, and beyond that is the new suburbs," Kathleen gritted her teeth and tightened the bandage, "the black silks' territory."

"Then where are we going now?" Slimani asked doubtfully.

But at this moment, Thales felt something in his heart and subconsciously raised his head, then he was startled!

Everyone followed his gaze and looked back, and they were all shocked!

It's Lausanne II.

At some point, the killer in black appeared on the slope behind them, looking down at them.

His eyes were cold.

Thin body shape.

The long sword in his hand was completely damaged, with countless chips.

"Fuck!" Kathleen was the first to curse.

"It's him again!" Glover subconsciously stood up and raised his knife, "Pinch yourself, concentrate, don't get hit!"

"Why can't he get rid of him?" Slimani looked horrified.

Rolf stamped his foot hard.

In the chaos, Thales frowned and looked back at the black-clad killer on the slope, while Hilley stared at the tunnel behind him.

As the sun sets, the bridge piers cast shadows, dividing the slope into two:

Lausanne is above, shrouded in dim shadows.

Thales is below, bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Up and down the slope, one is black and the other is red, as distinct as two worlds.

"boom!"

A bouquet of fireworks flew into the sky and exploded in colorful colors.

Everyone was startled, and only then did they react when cheers rang out one after another above their heads:

As the sun sets, another night of Emerald Celebration begins.

"Where is the strong man? Where are the reinforcements?" Glover asked warily.

"I said, we will remember him." Kathleen sighed.

"Stop being stunned and run!" Slimani urged with a cry.

Xi Lai looked solemn and looked around warily.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bundles of fireworks exploded into light, shining in the sky, covering up the fading sun.

At that moment, two worlds, one black and one red, merged briefly.

Luosang looked at the fireworks in mid-air, and then looked at Thales.

Thales sighed and took a step forward:

"That's it, Lausanne II, we are all tired of it, let's call it a day."

Luosang remained silent and did not speak.

The next second, he picked up the broken sword and thrust it into the ground!

Srimani was delighted: "He agreed?"

But Thales frowned:

In the hell sense, Lausanne II's body was like a bottomless darkness, cold and lonely.

I saw the black-clothed killer calmly taking out the black mask, covering his face again, and then adjusting his clothes.

Only a pair of cold eyes were revealed.

"What does he mean?"

Slimani's brows twitched: "Is it 'It's time, I'm going to get off work'?"

The next second, Luosang, who was fully masked and dressed up, picked up the sword on the ground!

He took a step 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 looked annoyed. "This is considered overtime work - is the overtime pay really that high?"

Glover flicked the blade with a ruthless look on his face:

"Mute, you take His Highness away first, and I will come from behind."

He hesitated for a second, then looked at Thales:

"Your Highness, please tell her I'm sorry if I..."

But before the zombie finished speaking, Rolf stepped past him firmly, stood in front of him, and made a gesture:

【Don’t think about it. 】

Don't even think about showing off your power and being a hero in front of His Highness alone.

Glover frowned: "I won't make trouble with you, you can run faster than me..."

"No, you two stand back and run with them," Thales interrupted them without any doubt, "I will take the rear."

Glover and Rolf both changed their colors.

"Don't worry," Thales pointed at Lausanne II, who was getting closer and closer, "he won't hurt me."

"Are you sure?" Xi Lai said from the side with a suspicious tone.

Thales shook his head and stepped forward, blocking the people behind him.

"Zhan warned you, right?"

Thales shouted to Lausanne, pointing to the fireworks above his head: "Hide your identity, keep a low profile, and don't do it in public and cause a big scene that is difficult to deal with!"

But Lausanne didn't answer.

He just moved forward step by step.

"Your Highness?" Glover asked worriedly, but Thales raised his hand to stop him.

"Go back, you have done your best," Thales looked at Lausanne II who was getting closer and closer, activated the Hell River Sin, and was ready to block his attack with his body at any time, "The rest is between you and me. Employers will negotiate…”

The next moment, Luosang's figure flashed and disappeared from his sight!

Um?

The Sin of the Hell River jumped suddenly, making Thales's heart tremble.

"No!" Glover roared.

boom!

Amid the whistling sword wind, Thales felt like he had been hit hard and was dizzy.

"thump!"

There was a muffled sound, and Thales came back to his senses, only to realize that he had been thrown to the ground by Xilai!

What?

Thales turned his head in a daze:

Lausanne II appeared in front of Thales's position just now. The broken sword blade penetrated into the ground and cut the soil into two pieces.

"Idiot!" Xi Lai pressed on him and gritted his teeth.

etc.

Lausanne II, he just wanted to—Tiles lay on the ground, eyes wide open as he reacted—kill me?

He is not afraid...

The next second, before Thales could react, Grover and Rolf rushed to the left and right, shouting angrily and rushing towards Lausanne!

But this time, the killer in black looked coldly, and his sword flashed as he changed his body shape!

"laugh!"

However, as soon as they met, Glover groaned in pain and the blade fell to the ground, but as brave as he was, he ignored the bloody right hand and rushed forward instead of retreating, rushing towards the blade of Lausanne II!

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and seeing Glover in danger, Rolf fired an electric shot, knocking the zombie two meters away, barely able to avoid the sword's edge.

But the wind howled, and Lausanne's sword followed him like a shadow, catching up with Rolf!

"No!" Thales roared angrily.

"clang!"

With the clang of metal, Rolf turned around in the air and fell hard to the ground. He struggled with his knees whining, obviously in great pain.

"I wanted to cut off your legs, annoying fleas," Lausanne II looked at Rolf, then at the "calf" that fell beside him, his voice was mechanical and cold, "In the end, huh, prosthetic legs?"

Kathleen looked at the metal prosthetic leg that fell on the ground, and her eyes changed.

Glover spit out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but fell back in the end.

Luosang turned around and looked at the remaining two people.

Slimani reacted and screamed in fright, until Kathleen on the side gave him a kick.

Phantom Blade gritted his teeth and stood up, raised his only arm, clenched his fist tremblingly, and opened his stance:

"Bah, Turnbull's wild dog, I put my words here: I don't regret it at all!"

Luosang did not answer, but slowly raised his sword.

"enough!"

Thales' angry roar sounded!

He gritted his teeth and stood up, trying hard to forget the life-and-death sword strike just now:

"If you kill me, your master will not open—"

But before he finished speaking, Hilley grabbed him from behind and said, "Tales!"

ah?

Thales was startled, and then he realized that Xi Lai was holding his hand, shaking his head desperately.

"Owner?"

Lausanne II's voice sounded.

Hollow, cold, with a hint of mockery.

"Hehehe...Master, Master, Master here, Master there, Master everywhere..."

He turned around slowly, his eyes on the mask pointed directly at Thales:

"You are a condescending, privileged bastard who thinks you can be more sober and noble than others. You just can't... no, it should be everyone in the world, everyone, all the time from birth to death. Slaves who are being raped all the time and are so used to it without knowing it... they just can’t live without their masters and can’t live without whips, right?”

The next second, Lausanne II's figure swayed, he bent down, held his head, and trembled slightly.

Like suffering from a headache.

Thales was startled and then realized: something was not right with him.

"Whether that master is a teacher, a superior, a boss, a king, a country, a rule, an idea, a belief, a love, or any other coward..." Luosang gritted his teeth and rubbed his forehead, "You just can't bear to live without this kind of life. "

"Even if they are about to kill you, you still have to trick yourselves into being grateful and willing to say, 'We, we should live like this!'"

The black-clothed killer's final roar was so hoarse that it even changed its pitch.

Thales was shocked.

wrong.

Lausanne II...

It’s different from before.

So he no longer held back, even when facing the Star Prince.

"What did it do?" Hilley whispered subconsciously.

Thales turned his head:

"What?"

who?

Who did what?

But Xi Lai did not answer him, but looked faintly at the entrance of the tunnel where the white smoke had dispersed:

"what have you done?"

After a few seconds, Lausanne II stopped trembling. He straightened up, his eyes returned to coldness, and he looked at Catherine and Slimani, who was shaking uncontrollably.

All right.

There is no other way.

Thales, who was exhausted, took a deep breath, took out the JC dagger, and placed it on his left palm.

However, Xi Lai next to him grabbed him.

"No, please, no, don't go, you don't know it..." her voice was weak, almost pleading.

Thales could only smile at her and pull her hand away decisively:

"It's okay, it'll be fine."

"boom!"

Another celebratory firework exploded in the air, illuminating the bottom of the bridge.

At this moment, the wind roared loudly around Lausanne II. A figure rose from the ground and took advantage of the wind to rush towards the black-clothed killer!

Thales was startled and reacted:

"Rolf, no!"

The next second, Lausanne II turned around and waved his sword to face Rolf, who had only one leg left and looked resolute!

Time seems to have stopped.

"Ding!"

There was a soft sound, and Lausanne II moved again, but he dodged in the opposite direction to Rolf!

Rolf jumped into the air, could no longer control his balance, and fell to the ground hard.

As soon as they came together, Thales' eyes widened, as if he had forgotten to breathe.

Lausanne II turned around and looked at where he was just standing:

There was an arrow stuck in the ground, its feathers quivering.

"Again?" he whispered.

But as soon as Luosang finished speaking, he turned around quickly and barely managed to avoid a long sword that pierced the back of his head!

Lausanne II turned his wrist, struck three blows with the visitor, and took three steps back!

He saw a female swordsman wearing black gloves standing in front of him, coldly shaking off her sword:

"It's round two, asshole."

Thales' eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Mira!"

call!

The sword wind rose again. Before Lausanne II could reply, he turned around twice and deflected another long sword with a tricky angle!

"Not bad," said the vanguard officer Mike Zoneved who appeared on his right, holding a sword in his left hand and looking sharply, "Try this move?"

Lausanne II's sword flashed again, and he had a head-on collision with Zonevide, but at the same time, a long knife with a special shape came from the other side!

"Dang! Ding!"

The sword opened and closed with sharp sounds.

“May you be riddled with thorns, stranger.”

The second-class guard officer, Jose Cuesta, brandished his sword to attack and muttered:

"As the stars dim for you."

Luosang managed to get between the swords and attack him dangerously, but two more daggers stabbed him dangerously from behind!

This time, Lausanne II had to turn around at the extreme limit, avoid the pincer attack with a rather embarrassing roll, and escape from the encirclement!

"Use your bullshit tricks again," Leo Morgan, the second-class vanguard officer, sneered and shook off the blood on his sword, "Rat?"

Lausanne II trembled and slowly stood up:

At some point, Miranda, Zonevid, Custa, and Morgan separated from each other and had already surrounded him.

The next second, countless torches lit up from all around, illuminating the earth slope at the bottom of the bridge.

"Pay attention to the formation! Don't let him escape this time!"

Herald Toledo stood on the northern slope. He stared at Lausanne and slowly pulled out the blade. Logistics officer Itarriano stood beside him with a lazy expression and a crossbow on his shoulder.

On the west side, Pioneer Officer Oscarson held the torch and held the hilt of the sword with his other hand. Punishment Officer Capone tilted his head with a smile and tightened the ax in his hand. Second-class Pioneer Officer Fraten licked it. The tongue and the eyes are malicious.

To the south, the Nexi vanguard officer looked at Lausanne II with gritted teeth and a high fighting spirit ("He is mine! Duel!"). The vanguard officer "Shit" Supa Langlai sighed when he saw this and put his hammer on On the ground, guard officer Konmuto held the scabbard of his sword and smiled at Thales.

In the east, "Ghost" Hugo Fubi, the flag-bearer, gently put away the notebook in his hand. Gennard held the dark horse Jenny, his eyes sharp, and Willow held up his two guns, trying his best to look more majestic.

Higher up, Paul Bozdorf calmly lowered his longbow and recalibrated it.

Everyone present stared intently at the reinforcements that appeared: Hilley subconsciously put his hands behind his back, Glover exhaled, Rolf lay down with relief, Katherine frowned in confusion, Si Lai survived the desperate situation. Limani cried with joy.

Under the illumination of fireworks and firelight, Thales looked up happily and glanced at his familiar subordinates.

Wait, even the Fubi Flag Officer, who is not like anyone else in the Guard, is here, that means...

"Your Highness, you can really run."

A familiar voice came. Thales turned around and looked up, and said in surprise:

"Thor!"

Mallos appeared at the highest point on the north side, and he nodded slightly to Thales.

"By the way," 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 pause and swallow his words.

"We finally meet, the killer in black." Mallos turned to Lausanne II who was surrounded in the field.

Lausanne II did not speak.

He turned around and was finally sure: before he knew it, he had been tightly surrounded from all sides and was impenetrable.

He looked at the four people who were on guard in front of him, chuckled as if accepting his fate, and lowered his sword:

"You, you are their leader, the royal guard?"

Mallos looked at him condescendingly, and after a few seconds he said coldly:

"Dagory Moss, the wine merchant, died in prison, bleeding to death without anyone noticing; Diop, the wool merchant, died in the mansion, looking frightened and emotional when he died - it's all your fault, right? ?”

Thales was startled.

Lausanne II remained silent.

"Your superpower," Mallos said affirmatively, "makes them fall into hallucinations, unable to resist the call for help. They are like walking zombies at your mercy, and nearby witnesses are also affected. When they wake up, they are confused and ignorant."

Lausanne II did not deny it, but shook his shoulders and chuckled:

"Is it because you found a way to resist my superpower?"

Mallos's eyes flashed coldly.

"Please return to the palace immediately, Your Highness, with your 'friends'," the watchman suddenly said to Thales, "If you come back late, I don't know what will happen to Attendant Castle and Guard Doyle. What outrageous excuses have I made up for you to travel?”

Thales was startled and did not bother with Hilley who was holding him back:

"but--"

"No disrespect, Your Highness Thales!"

Mallos interrupted him, his words unmistakable: "But as long as you are here, we are wary and unable to go all out to clean up the blood debt of the Guards."

Thales frowned:

"The blood debt of the Guards?"

Mallos did not answer the prince, but turned coldly to Lausanne in the field:

"This masked gentleman, no matter whether it is from the Kevin Dill family or from Master Joaquin, the flag wing will not be able to find out your information."

Flag Officer Fubi snorted softly.

However, Mallos changed the subject:

"But I heard you bragged to my men that you killed a royal guard?"

Lausanne II remained motionless, only frowning slightly.

"In view of this, we tracked down the files of deceased members of the Royal Guards. If there were no files in the first five years, we would search for ten years. If there were no files in ten years, we would search for twenty years. Finally..."

Marius paused, and the surrounding royal guards were in full formation, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Twenty-three years ago," Mallos said softly, "the first-class flag officer, João Aknet, returned to his hometown to visit relatives, but died unexpectedly."

Hearing the name, Luosang slowly raised his head and met Mallos' eyes.

"Arkenet's Flag Officer and 'Skull' Bruno came from the same school. Although he is not a frightening top master like Skull, he is also superb in swordsmanship and is one step away from the extreme. It can be seen that his murderer is not simple. "

Luosang said nothing.

At that moment, the whole place was quiet, only the sound of strong wind could be heard.

"What's even more coincidental is that both Aknett and Bruno have been knight attendants," Mallos said with a look in his eyes, "and their teacher is none other than Handro Joaquín, the master of imperial swordsmanship."

Thales looked at Luosang in surprise, but the latter remained motionless.

"The situation was chaotic at that time, and the Guards had no time to take care of it. The 'Skeleton' led a search without success, so the case was shelved," the watcher continued. "After the Year of Blood, the Guards encountered great changes, and it was even harder to pursue old cases. Talk about it.”

"until today."

Mallos finished his words.

The guards on all sides looked serious and said nothing, just staring at the black-clothed killer in the field.

A few seconds later, Lausanne II burst out laughing.

"That's right, Joao's bad guy," the black-clothed killer sneered, "I killed him."

As soon as these words came out, the Star Lake Guards made a commotion. Some snorted, some sighed, some grumbled, and some clicked their tongues.

Thales frowned.

Mallos closed his eyes gently and opened them again.

He looked at Thales.

"Okay, Thor," Thales breathed out, stepped forward to help Glover, and called to Hilley, "Good luck."

Mallos nodded as he watched Thales and his group gradually leave.

The next second, he shouted loudly:

"The order has arrived!"

In all directions, all the royal guards held their heads high and shouted in response:

"The knights are gathered!"

Uniform and impressive.

Seeing this made Soldier Willow feel envious.

Lausanne II looked at this scene with empty eyes and raised his head to the sky.

knight.

knight?

"In the name of the High King, the Royal Guard."

Under the watchful eyes of all the guards, Mallos took a step forward and unsheathed his sword.

Following his movements, the guards on the field showed their weapons and geared up.

Luosang stood alone in the center of the encirclement, with his sword broken and his clothes torn.

"The fifty-seventh watchman, Tormund Mallos, led fourteen guards under his command," Mallos said with a cold voice and a serious expression, "Here we execute the late flag officer of the guard, João A. Lord Knett’s…”

Mallos looked at Lausanne II with a sharp look:

"Honorable Revenge."

boom!

Another firework exploded.

Illuminating Lausanne's figure.

And the darkness in his eyes.
