Chapter 145: Herbert and Beria

"This can't be!" Yang immediately retorted, "There's no way he knows where we're hiding Belia!"

"Don't be so sure. Manfred glared at Yang with gloomy eyes, "After all, it's Jericho, no one knows how they got the information, we still don't understand how he found out Herbert's identity, so don't jump to conclusions about this person, he has too many secrets, we have to prepare for the worst." โ€

"Huh!" Yang spiffed, although he didn't want to admit it, he understood that what Manfred said was right, "Then we have to hurry to the rescue now, whether Jericho knows that Belial is our puppet or not, we can't let him find Beria, without this chess piece, our plan can't be implemented." โ€

"He probably hasn't found a doll yet. Manfred threw the cumbersome white coat aside and walked quickly towards the door, "My puppet sensed him, Jericho is breaking through the protection we set up for the puppet, and he must move faster, with Jericho's strength, those troops from the Ministry of the Interior can't stop him for too long." โ€

"I know. Yang immediately followed, "Could it be that Herbert betrayed us and knew where Beria was hiding, except for you and me, there are only people from the Investigation Bureau." โ€

"Who knows. Manfred twisted the doorknob, revealing a dark forest behind the door, "Let's go, before Jericho finds our puppet......"

"Kill him!" replied Yang viciously.

Swain looked at the hidden fortress surrounded by trees, and few people knew that the secret base of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior was hidden in a forest on the outskirts of Deweid.

"You shouldn't have a problem with your information, right?" asked Sven, turning his head to Ramrem beside him.

"When I accompanied my wife to visit Phil's house before, Mrs. Ellen complained that Herbert had not come home for several days, and I had a vague feeling that there was something wrong at that time, although the people of the Phil family did not know that Herbert was the director of the investigation bureau, but judging from the time when he did not go home, it should have started on the day of the incident with the Ministry of the Interior, so I wondered if he had been unable to return to Phil's house because he was protecting Beria. Ramrem, who was standing next to Swain, said unhurriedly, although she had never had a chance to meet with Swain after the incident at the Ministry of the Interior, because Ernest had been staying in the camp of the Imperial Capital Garrison during this time, she had a chance to run out this time.

But Herbert wasn't the kind of person who would willingly be a dog for someone else. Swain clenched his cane and walked slowly towards the fortress, "If you look at everything together, the biggest possibility is that Herbert and Manfred joined forces and controlled Beria, and even Manfred may have turned Beria into their puppet, so now Beria is their weakness, if there is no Belia, they don't have any signboard that can be played in this battle for the throne, the Ministry of the Interior, the Southern Army, and those politicians who secretly defect to Beria are all they can't control." Since Manfred wants to catch my weakness, I'll crucify his heart first. โ€

Ramrem watched as Sven moved deeper and deeper into the woods, but he didn't move his steps. "Next, those thirteen class guys will also chase after them. โ€

"Yes. I allow you to leave first, but don't forget who you're serving. โ€

Ramrem's body shuddered for a moment, and she knew that Swain was warning herself. The last time she was at the Ministry of the Interior, she didn't dare to run out to join Swain, and apparently, this incident left a very bad impression on Swain.

"I see," Ramrem bowed his head, "master." โ€

Sven didn't reply, and his figure disappeared into the dense and gloomy woods. It was late at night, and a mist rose from the woods, and Sven was like a ghost walking in the middle of the night, quietly reaching out his claws towards the fortress that mortals thought was strong.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

Herbert stared at Beria in front of him, a puppet of Belial to be exact. He picked up the swaying glass in his hand and took a shallow sip of red wine.

"If it weren't for your insistence on arresting Count Jericho, I wouldn't have leaned in on that Manfred, after all, it's a courtier, and I don't want to see it at this point. Even though he knew that what he was looking for was a doll without a mind or soul, Herbert couldn't help but talk to the doll.

"I've followed you for so many years, and I've done so much dirty work for you before and after you saddle your horse, but what is the result? You are a man who likes the new and hates the old, both for women and for his subordinates. I know you're trying to replace me with that Seresy Daxda, just as you did with me, and I'm all too familiar with your favor for Daxda, after all, I've experienced this feeling of being pampered before. โ€

Originally, he had to face his boss and lord with trembling, but at this time he could only listen to himself numbly, which made Herbert's heart can't help but feel a sense of pleasure.

"That was true of my predecessor, and so was that Miss Dares, who was in the habit of throwing aside things you didn't need. Everywhere is abusive, everywhere merciful, so every time I have to help you deal with those children left behind, you are ruthless, your own children will be killed when they say they will be killed, even if I see it, I can't bear it. So, I hid them secretly. โ€

"Originally, I was thinking that I would use it in case you and I turned against each other in the future, but who would have thought that Manfred would have such a technology to create a 'you' with a group of your children. Ha, maybe you were absolutely right to dispose of your illegitimate children in the first place, and if it weren't for those children, you probably wouldn't be in this position today, being made into a puppet, stealing your name, identity, power, and subordinates to earn things you never had access to. Don't you think it's pathetic? His Royal Highness Beria Rav Lovich No. Gion-Godunov is sinister and cunning. โ€

Herbert walked up to Beria and reached out to wipe the doll's face.

"So, are you Belial, or is it not him?"

"Jingle bellโ€”"

Herbert was startled by the sudden ringing of the electric bell on the table, which would only be pulled when the base was under attack.

"What's going on?" Herbert immediately ran out of the room and asked the guard next door.

A captain of the Ministry of the Interior immediately stood up and replied: "It seems that someone is attacking us, sir. "There are several telegraphs in this room, and through these handy tools, they can receive news from all over the base as soon as possible and report it to Herbert in a timely manner.

"I want you to say this kind of thing!" Herbert immediately roared, "I'm asking who is attacking our base, how many people are attacking our base, and what is the situation of the war!"

was yelled at by Herbert, and the captain couldn't help but have dense beads of sweat on his forehead. "This, this, we are still waiting for the report from the front......"

"Wait!" Herbert's voice was a little louder, "don't you have long legs and eyes, won't you find out for yourselves, bastard, let me find out what is going on!"

"Yes, yes, I'll send someone right away!"

"You go for me!" Herbert picked up a pencil from the table and smashed it at it, not very angry at this time, on the contrary, he enjoyed it a little, and treated his subordinates like Beria normally, which was what he wanted.

"Yes!" Herbert's anger frightened the captain more than the smash on his body.

"Sir, the number of enemies has been confirmed!" a telegraph operator suddenly stood up and reported to Herbert.

"How many, is it the troops of the imperial capital?"

"No, it shouldn't be a troop from the imperial capital......," the telegraph man hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously, "according to the reports from the front, the enemy, the enemy seems to be only one person. โ€

"What!" Herbert was taken aback, he had never seen a man dare to attack a fortress defended by thousands of soldiers of the Ministry of the Interior, if it had been half a month ago, he would not have believed such a fantasy, and immediately scolded the telegraph operator to the blood. But now, Herbert, who had seen Manfred's power, immediately thought of another possibility.

As if to test Herbert's conjecture, there was an explosion not far away, followed by a flock of crows flying out of the window, and the fluttering of the wings made Herbert's heart palpitate for some reason, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Quick, let's move immediately!" Although it was not clear who the enemy was, Herbert was still determined to leave here with Beria immediately, whether it was for his life or for his ambitions, he could not stay here, even if he was seen by the attacker, he would have his identity exposed.

The soldiers in the guardhouse immediately carried out the commander's order, and they packed up their equipment and prepared to escort Herbert away. Before leaving, Herbert deliberately brought Beria over and put a prisoner's hood on him, so that although Beria was more conspicuous in the crowd, it was also a helpless move, if he was seen by his subordinates, then Herbert's trouble would be even greater.

The soldiers hurried out of the corridor with Herbert and Beria in their arms, this fortress was not as closed as the Ministry of the Interior building, for safety, there were many secret passages here, and Herbert planned to get out of the secret passages.

However, if the target was allowed to escape so easily, then Sven would not have attacked with great fanfare.

Sven's best magic is to summon demons, and the overwhelming flock of crows is his signature trick, but this does not mean that he will only summon crows as a kind of demons, although his magic attainments are far inferior to Earl Hecate, but the simple magic of summoning demons, Sven is still very proficient.

Through the rats sent to various parts of the fortress in advance, when Herbert entered the secret passage, Sven found their traces as soon as possible, ignoring the fire network of the soldiers, Sven walked straight in the direction of Herbert.

"Damn!" the officer in command at the front was already going crazy, and he couldn't imagine how a man could completely ignore the shots of his own soldiers, and those bullets were made of mud pellets.

"Annoying bugs. Swain walked to the center of the enemy's position with a graceful gentleman's walk on his cane, and the soldiers' shooting did not stop, but such an attack was useless after all, and the bullet entered Swain's body, and then was spit out by the crow summoned by Sven, and not even the slightest wound could be left for Sven.

"Die, bugs. Swain tapped his cane, and the long-awaited crows rushed up. Crows, after all, are the ones who love carrion the most, and if their food is still alive, they will kill the food and eat it.

In this way, Swain walked leisurely in the hail of bullets, and everywhere he walked would at once become a feast table for crows, and there would not be a single residue left of the scavengers.

"Mr. Phil, we're meeting again. โ€
