Geralhide watched in disbelief as the sword passed through his chest, red blood dripping down the blade onto the woollen carpet, nearly piercing his heart and tearing his lungs, and with each breath, pain spread down his nerves, making Geralhaid feel dizzy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even more surprised was Elifils, who saw that in the air, the blade constructed by the magic power immediately collapsed and disintegrated, and Geralhaide's face was distorted with a look of pain, and she was even more surprised when she looked over Geralhaid's shoulder and saw the owner of the sword.

“...... Lord Manstein? ”

The other party is none other than Lord Manstein, who was imprisoned in a trap, his face is pale at the moment, his lips are still a little purple, obviously he has not yet recovered from the poison, but he originally has the strength of the silver middle level, and the effect of these poisons is not so strong, and it is precisely because of this that he can sneak attack Geralhaide from the rear.

"How could it be ......"

Geralhaide was still in a state of shock, muttering to himself.

He had obviously given these nobles a poison that temporarily weakened their muscles, and at the same time locked them in different dungeons and placed several guards under them, but he did not expect that under such circumstances, Lord Manstein would still be able to escape.

"Springfield, your people should quit drinking."

Lord Manstein squeezed out a reluctant smile, and it could be seen that he was actually not so comfortable, if it wasn't for Gera Hyde to put all his attention on Erifers, then Lord Manstein would not have been so easy to sneak up on successfully.

Since Geralhide had dealt with an unarmed Ellifils before, the regular buff spells were not blessed, so the damage caused to him by this sword was quite large, almost killing him on the spot.

Flutter -

Pulling the sword out of Geralhaide's chest, Lord Manstein raised his sword to behead Geralheide, but was immediately stopped by Erifels.

"Wait."

It's not that Ellifils doesn't want to kill the traitor in front of him immediately, but since he has a connection with the high-level of Wendland, it means that he has information about Wendland, which is very important for the current war, Erifils suppressed the thought in his heart, raised his hand to stop Lord Manstein, and then asked Geralhaid.

"Do you know Wendland's troop deployment?"

"Hehe, it's impossible to get information from me, it's not that easy......"

Geralhaide's chest was bleeding profusely, and he had no strength to support his body and collapsed, leaning against the collapsed side of the bed, looking up at Ellifils.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, he has plotted against you and should be executed on the spot."

Lord Manstein naturally did not know that Geralhide had betrayed, and only thought that it was the order of Prince Leotis, and the long sword in his hand was clenched and placed on Geralhide's neck.

"He has defected and defected to Wendland, so there must be information about Wendland, and we can't just kill him."

Elifils thought that she had read several kinds of torture used by the ancients in books, and although they were cruel, she did not mind using them against a traitor.

Moreover, judging from Geralhade's previous words, he is an egoist and will not be so desperate for Wendland, as long as he is slightly induced, it is very likely that he will defect again and confess Wendland's information.

"Gera Hyde. Springfield, if you tell me what you know, I forgive you all your guilt in the name of the princess, and you can go home in peace for the rest of your life. ”

"Don't waste your efforts, I have signed the devil's contract, even if I want to say it, I will die immediately because of breaking the contract, Your Royal Highness Princess, this time I lost, become the king and lose, do it......"

A slight smile appeared on Geralhaid's lips, and he looked up at Ellifils and said weakly.

“......”

Ellifils didn't expect Geralhaid to sign the devil's contract, which completely blocked their way to get information from Geralhaid.

The devil's contract is not really a contract witnessed by the devil, but a kind of magic contract, which binds both parties through magic, and once it is violated, it will be eaten by magic and turned into dust in a moment, which was popular among mages for a while, but was soon banned by the Magic Association because it was too cruel.

"Lord Manstein."

With a short call, Lord Manstein understood what Erifels meant, and in the blink of an eye, his sword fell, and Geralhide's head rolled to the ground, and his headless body finally lost its strength and fell to the ground with a thud.

Blood gushed out, dyeing the woolen carpet bright red, and in the light of the setting sun, it showed an inexplicable showiness.

"Ahem......"

Lord Manstein had just killed Gera Hyde, and he was a little exhausted, so he held on to the bed and sat down slowly.

"Are you alright, Lord Manstein?"

Erifils leaned over to check on him, the poison hadn't dissipated yet, he had been through the battle again, and it looked like it would take quite some time to fully recover.

"I'm fine...... I forced my way out while the guards were drunk, but I didn't have time to save the other adults...... While in the dungeon, I heard the guards mention Her Royal Highness, ahem...... I came up directly to save you, but I didn't expect to encounter this scene......"

Lord Manstein's voice was a little weak, and he handed the sword into Elifils's hand, and continued.

"There are still a few guards in the dungeon, but they shouldn't be strong, it's just ...... Several of us were poisoned and couldn't do it...... Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm sorry, I might have to rest for a while......"

"Master Manstein, it's okay, I'll rescue them, don't worry, you can rest for a while."

Elefils was not bothered by poison, once she had a weapon in her hand, it was still quite simple to deal with a few small guards who were not in place, but the situation was critical at the moment, Wendland's army was overwhelming, and even if she rescued a few nobles from the north, she would have to face the siege of Wendland.

There were also the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Third Legion, who could not be evacuated for a while, and she could not leave these people in Keynzburg for Wendland to slaughter at will.

Judging from the words of Prince Leotis, he should have evacuated the castle by now and handed over the command to Geralhaid, as long as Elifils came forward, the defenders of the city should obey her command, and then they would defend the castle, Verahill went to Fort Los Ric, and at most three heads would return, and Shiloh should also escape to find other reinforcements, as long as they could hold until that time, they had a hope of survival.

It was the most reliable idea at the moment, at least much better than leaving the others to run away alone, and Elifils was not afraid of death, knowing that if the castle was abandoned here, Astelle's hopes of victory in this war would be even slimmer.

Having made up her mind, Erefels helped the unconscious Lord Manstein to his chair and picked up his sword.

- First of all, we had to rescue the other nobles. (To be continued.) )
