'Be gentle.'
Thales felt suffocated when he heard that.
Under almost everyone's unpleasant expressions, Ricky coughed.
"Can I treat this as a deal being made?
"Since we've done you so much — 'help'?"
This sentence brought Roman, who had just completed his' artistic creation ', back to reality.
The Legendary Wing slowly turned around and walked towards Ricky.
His footsteps were slow, but there was a rhythm to them that made one's heart tremble.
Klein and Josef stared at the baron who made them shudder uncontrollably. They wanted to brace themselves and go forward, but Ricky stopped them.
The leader of the mercenaries went up to him without fear.
"Sir?"
Roman and Ricky stared at each other. One of them was indifferent, and the other was calm.
The people around them became nervous. Many of the mercenaries and cavaliers tightened their grip on their weapons.
The Royal Guards instinctively stood together and drew closer to Thales.
But Thales lowered his gaze and sank into deep thought.
Finally, after a few suffocating seconds, the Legendary Wing snorted softly.
"Take your men and get lost. Blade Fangs Dune no longer welcomes you."
Once he said that, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
"And if you dare come back …"
Roman did not continue.
Ricky smiled and nodded.
"Very good. Very fair.
Then, good luck. And … happy working with you? "
Ricky extended his palm.
But the Legendary Wing, with an indifferent expression, did not even look at him. He walked past him and walked towards his subordinates.
Ricky raised his eyebrows and retracted his palm in resignation.
The cavaliers in the first few rows put away their weapons when Frank and the others signaled them to.
"That's great," Quick Rope whispered gratefully behind Thales.
"No need to fight anymore."
On the other side, Roman led his white horse back and loudly gave orders to the people around him.
"Felicia!"
At that moment, Roman's previous bloodthirst and abnormality were gone. He became agile and straightforward, and he had his own awe-inspiring presence.
"Send out the Flying Wing Cavaliers. Occupy the lookout points around us and observe the enemy. Don't be in a hurry to engage in battle. If the Barren and mixed breeds really come, I want to know each and every one of their positions!"
The female cavalier shouted in response to the baron's orders. Under her lead, hundreds of cavaliers on one of the sand dunes turned around in an orderly manner and disappeared into the rolling sand.
The Legendary Wing turned his head around.
"Frank! Poe! "
"Equip the Edge Breaker Cavalry and feed them the last of their rations, including those who have only been here for a month. Especially Poe, your new recruits who came from the inland. I will come later. Remember, we all have four legs. Try to fight outside on flat ground."
Poe, another knight beside Frank, seemed to be a little puzzled.
"Shouldn't we … first light the beacon and ask for help?"
Roman answered without hesitation,
"Who are you pointing at? Ruins or Brave Souls Castle? "
"You must know that the men of the Western Desert are shivering in their camps, waiting for us to save them!"
Frank and Poe nodded in response, then led their respective subordinates to ride away.
Thales quietly watched Roman deploy his troops. His frown deepened.
Just like that, half of the cavalrymen left in a grandiose manner. The scene was no less imposing than when they had first arrived.
"Snake Hand!"
The new leader of the Freak Squad was stunned for a few seconds before he hurriedly replied,
"My … Lord?"
Roman glanced at him.
"Prepare the guards, especially the freaks. Once we deal with the outside, there will only be thugs and rebels left in the camp. It won't be very difficult, but it will be very troublesome."
Snake Hand hurriedly responded to him and led his new subordinates away in a rather unpracticed manner.
There were immediately only two to three hundred cavaliers left on the sand dunes around them. By the looks of it, they were Roman's most trusted personal guards.
Before Thales' eyes, the mercenaries began to count their luggage and number of people under Klein and the others' orders.
Roman finally turned around and ordered the remaining cavaliers, "Karl."
"You and my personal guards will bring the prince to the first supply outpost in the east."
Thales instinctively raised his head.
The Legendary Wing lowered his head and stared at Zakriel, who sat on the ground.
"Also, keep an eye on the prisoners in the Prison of Bones.
Send them back after the war. "
Roman said coldly,
"They do not belong to the sunlight."
The expressions of the Royal Guards darkened at the same time.
Roman walked to his white horse. The cavaliers surged forward and stared at the prisoners with hostile gazes.
Thales sucked in a deep breath and refused a cavalier officer's attempt to help him up the horse.
"They helped me a lot in the Prison of Bones. They even saved my life." The prince walked forward and attracted many people's gazes.
"Can you … let them go?"
Barney Junior and Beldin's eyes sparkled.
But the Legendary Wing only shook his head coldly.
"They are prisoners." Roman did not even look at Thales. He just packed his luggage and minded his own business.
"And I am the prison warden.
Move faster. We still have a mess to clean up. "
Thales clenched his fists tightly.
On the other side, three cavaliers roughly pushed Bruley, who seemed to be the biggest among them, to the ground. The latter struggled continuously.
"Hey!" Barney Junior protested, but he was immediately pushed down by countless cavaliers and tied up.
Thales took a deep breath.
"It's nothing. Don't resist." Zakriel calmly waited for the cavaliers to drag him up from the ground and tie his hands. At the same time, he tried to persuade the others.
"We are just returning to … the place where we belong."
His tone was very normal, as if this was just a stroll.
Very soon, Tardin, Canon, and Beldin were all escorted away.
Barney Junior gave him a sarcastic and resigned smile.
Zakriel gave him the most profound expression.
Thales stood where he was and watched everything quietly.
"Cheer up, everyone. At least … at least we saw real sunlight … and not those damned flames …" Tardin was forced to walk, but he still straightened his neck and looked in the direction of the sunrise. He smiled with tears in his eyes.
It was as if he could not bear to part with the last ray of sunlight.
Thales watched expressionlessly as the cavaliers took away the prisoners from the Royal Guards and tied the ropes from their hands to their mounts.
Beldin, who was the last to be escorted past him, sighed at Thales.
"Take care, Your Highness.
"We can only escort you up to here.
"At least, you are safe."
Thales nodded bitterly. He had a lot on his mind, but he did not speak.
"Hey, I'm not —"
"I'm not committing a crime!"
The prince turned his head and found that Quick Rope was also escorted away. The pitiful man struggled, and he was so excited that he shouted with a Camian and Northland accent.
"Wya! Thales! "
"Um, I'm not …"
"I'm the prince's favorite attendant. My father is Nu — that something something Caso!"
But the cavaliers ignored his protests and continued to escort him to the row of prisoners.
Thales shut his eyes tightly while he struggled and shouted. Then, he opened them abruptly!
"Baron Williams!"
For the third time, the prince rejected a cavalier's invitation to get on his horse. He walked resolutely towards the Legendary Wing and said loudly,
"Let them go!"
Under Roman's surprised gaze, Thales gritted his teeth.
"Anyway, the Prison of Bones has already been broken.
If you are worried about your responsibility as a 'prison guard' to guard the Prison of Bones, then … "
He raised his head.
"I will bear the responsibility.
In the name of the heir to the kingdom, Thales Jadestar. "
His voice attracted a lot of attention.
Roman glanced at the cavaliers around him, who were somewhat curious about the prince. They lowered their heads and went about their own tasks.
The Legendary Wing turned his head around and strode forward until he was a few inches away from Thales. He lowered his head and looked down at him.
"Before you tell me what to do — tell me, prince."
Roman said coldly. His handsome face had a different kind of sharpness at this moment.
"Do I look like your father?"
Thales pursed his lips and gritted his teeth.
Roman did not intend to wait for his answer. He snorted coldly.
"Then don't cry to me."
The Legendary Wing lowered his body and whispered into Thales' ear, "That's right.
"Because I don't care whose son you are or which kingdom you are going to inherit."
Thales' face immediately turned livid with rage.
"But you are a baron of the kingdom. You are stationed in Constellation's territory, and you control the regular army of the royal family." The prince suppressed the anger in his chest with great difficulty. His face was red.
The baron snorted.
"Very well, then let me guess, what you're thinking now is' when I become king, I'll make you pay '? Am I right? "
Thales clenched his fists tighter and tighter.
"Don't wonder how I know what you think."
Roman sneered and whispered,
"Because … that's what the trash would think."
Once he finished speaking, Roman straightened his back and left in front of Thales, who had an unpleasant expression on his face.
The prince was left alone in the wind, trembling in anger.
Ricky walked over from the side. He looked at Roman's back, then at the sullen Thales. He seemed to have understood something.
But he only shook his head.
"I guess this is our separation, Your Highness."
Thales suppressed his temper and turned to him.
Ricky smiled faintly.
"Don't forget your Sin of Hell's River. We are full of expectations for your future."
Thales clenched his fists tightly.
"Samel also has a brand on his face. If I remind Williams that Samel was also rescued by you from the Prison of Bones …
"Do you think he will be locked up with Williams?"
Ricky was taken aback by the words that came out of nowhere, but he quickly reacted.
"Yes, it's possible." Ricky shrugged and smiled.
"But do you really have the heart to do that? After Samel suffered for so many years for your royal family, he still ended up like this? "
Thales took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
'I see.'
Ricky glanced at him in puzzlement. In the end, he raised his eyebrows and strode towards his mercenaries.
As he listened to the sounds of the prisoners being locked up in the distance, Thales clenched his fists for the last time before he released them.
Thales closed his eyes and whispered to the air, "Yodel, I need you to do me a favor.
I need you to do me a favor. "
A few seconds later, a weak and hesitant voice came from the air.
"I can't win against Williams."
Thales opened his eyes swiftly!
"No.
I want you not to show yourself. "
A questioning voice rose in the air.
But Thales only stared at the backs of the Royal Guards who were tied up one by one.
He said softly, "No matter what happens."
Once he finished speaking, Thales did not wait for Yodel's response. He strode forward and caught up to Roman and Ricky.
"Hey, pretty boy!"
Williams' back froze.
"And you, dummy!"
Ricky stopped in his tracks.
Under the strange gazes of many people around them, both of them turned around at the same time and frowned at Thales.
But this time, Roman frowned a little. He felt that the prince seemed to be a little different.
"We have to talk, the three of us, in private." Thales strode over and waved his hand to signal the others to do what they were supposed to do.
"Perfect timing. I'm very hungry. It's best if we can have something to eat and drink."
The teenager's footsteps were exaggerated, and his tone was casual. The way he ordered people around made it seem like this was his home.
Roman and Ricky looked at each other. They did not seem to be able to react to the situation.
Thales, on the other hand, put his hands on his hips and stared at them arrogantly.
A few seconds later, the Legendary Wing exhaled. He looked at Thales as if he was looking at a lunatic.
"We're in a state of war now. We don't have time to satisfy your royal extravagance." Roman shook his head in disdain.
"Your Highness."
Thales snickered.
The teenager put his hands on his hips and pointed at Roman arrogantly.
"No, you are not in a hurry to save them, because everything is under control."
He turned to the side and pointed at Ricky.
"And you are not in a hurry to leave either, because you are not worried."
There was another period of silence.
The situation was a little awkward. The prince's terrible sense of humor seemed to have ruined it a little too much.
A few seconds later, the Legendary Wing no longer wanted to pay attention to Thales. He snorted, turned around, and left.
Ricky shrugged, flashed a mocking smile, and turned around to leave as well.
"By the way, not a bad attempt, child."
Thales sighed as he watched them leave into the distance.
"Do I have to be so straightforward?"
However, after Thales' next sentence, the situation changed.
"Or do I need to tell everyone after the war that the two of you are actually in cahoots?"
At that moment, Roman and Ricky shuddered at the same time, and they immediately stopped moving!
A few cavaliers who were closer to them seemed to have heard something. They looked over in puzzlement.
Thales smiled.
He walked forward. As he slowly approached the duo, he lowered his voice.
"… And the Legendary Wing himself is the culprit and mastermind behind the disaster in Blade Fangs Camp from last night until today?"
One second.
Two seconds.
Finally, on the third second, Roman and Ricky, who were frozen on the spot, turned around at the same time.
They looked at the smiling Thales.
At that moment, there were no words that could describe their expressions.
The teenager walked until he was face to face with them and stopped.
The wind blew gently, and the sun rose from the east.
The gazes of Roman, Ricky, and Thales interacted with each other in this atmosphere.
They looked at each other, and they stared at him together.
"Baron, we need to depart —" A cavalier officer approached from afar and reminded Roman.
But the Legendary Wing turned around in an unusual manner. He said angrily with a fierce tone that was rarely seen on him,
"Do what you need to do!"
The officer was so frightened that he took a step back and quickly walked away.
Many of the cavaliers and mercenaries who were staring at them instinctively lowered their heads.
Roman took a deep breath and turned his head around to stare at Ricky. His tone was impatient and displeased.
"What did you tell him?"
Ricky's face turned green and red as he gritted his teeth.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing."
But at the same time, Thales quickly blurted out, "I told him everything.
I told him everything. "
Ricky turned his head around and stared at Thales in disbelief and resentment.
'What?'
Thales still had a smile on his face. He gave the mercenary leader a thumbs-up.
"By the way, not a bad attempt, Ricky."
Roman's expression was unpleasant. He looked at Ricky, then at Thales.
The Legendary Wing took a deep breath. He felt that he had nowhere to vent the power in his arms.
Then, in front of the two adults, who were almost petrified, the dirty teenager sat down cross-legged.
"Now, can we talk?"
Thales puffed out his chest. With his bruised face, he said to the two people in front of him with strange expressions,
"Then, I want food and drink."
'What?'
At that moment, Roman's handsome face was filled with anger. His expression said, "How dare you?".
And Ricky's eyes practically popped out of their sockets.
"Oh." Thales suddenly remembered something. He patted his thigh in a pompous manner, turned around, and pointed at the prisoners who were being escorted.
He added, "Same for them."
