Manfred looked at Yang in pain on the operating table in silence, no matter how miserable Yang screamed, Manfred did not hesitate or pause in the movement of his hands.

When Norrington decided to return to Germany with his troops, Yang had a fierce argument with him, but Norrington, who had confidence, was completely unafraid of Yang's threat and insisted on returning to Germany. And Young, who has always been impulsive, turned his face on the spot with Norrington in a fit of rage, trying to coerce the other party and force him to continue to attack Astrad I College and Karin Castle. However, he somewhat underestimated the general of the Ministry of the Interior, Norrington was first from the Ministry of the Interior, and then the commander of the First Army, and after Yang drew his sword, the sniper in ambush immediately shot and wounded Yang in the wrist, and then Norrington's bullet pierced his chest.

This was the last scene Yang saw, Norrington said a few words to Yang who fell to the ground and was about to pass out that he couldn't understand, and then left with his subordinates and went to Dewei, and when Yang woke up, Swain and Baron O'Brien had completely defeated Osmond's home formation, and the general trend in the western suburbs was completely directed to Sven's side.

As a battle mage, Yang still has some restorative magic, but the effects of these magic can't eliminate the inflammation in his lungs, only to suspend his pain and severe bleeding, and let him persist until he returns to Deweide.

However, when Yang returned to Deweide, he saw the scene of Manfred's defeat.

Manfred removed the fragments of the bullet from Young's chest, and even though his hands were stained with blood, he didn't frown, his face was as expressionless as if it were Sven.

"You can rest now. Manfred said lightly, "You are very badly injured, and you still hurt your lungs, you will be in pain during this time, try to be patient." ”

Yang's facial features were all twisted together, and after the operation, as soon as the strength of the anesthetic passed, the intense pain almost tore his nerves, no less than the pain Swain gave him last time.

"Why...... Will it fail?" his voice was hoarse, perhaps it was not only the wound that hurt, but also his confidence, "We have so many troops in Germany, why do we ......?"

As he spoke, Yang was suddenly stunned, and he couldn't even remember what the troops he was talking about were.

"None of this matters now, Beria is dead, and in a few days De Wei will be completely Alexander's world, and Jericho's scavenging crow will have the opportunity to enjoy this feast cooked by the loser. Manfred was surprisingly calm, he took a medicine bottle while packing up the surgical equipment, and put it in Yang's hand, "You recover as soon as possible, of course, this is not in a hurry." I'll find a way to get out of here in a safer way. If we continue to stay here, we will be found by Jericho sooner or later, even if his magic perception is weak, but he is quite sensitive to the taste of carrion. ”

"You're going to run away!" a low roar was squeezed out of Yang's throat, and if it hadn't hurt the lobes of his lungs, he would have roared loudly, "Manfred, don't you dream, you still want to get out of the way now, don't you look at it, look at what we did, kill the commander of the thirteenth section, participate in the rebellion of Beria's faction, attack the Tiamat Palace, the current victors all have a deep hatred with us, you still want to, you still want to ......"

After saying such a long list of words, Yang's breath couldn't be connected, and he couldn't help coughing, and when he coughed, it affected the wound in his lungs, making him even more painful.

Manfred looked at the angry Yang, and he sighed helplessly, now looking at what he had done in the past month, Manfred inexplicably had a feeling of being like a dream, and even he himself wondered why he had to do these things.

The magic slowly entered Yang's body from Manfred's fingertips, calming Yang's emotions and relieving some of his pain. Although Manfred's magic was much weakened by Swain, he was able to do it to this extent, and of course, he himself did not notice the problem of mana decline.

"I'm going to go out, be careful by yourself, the current situation is too unfavorable, even if those few people come down, you shouldn't trust it easily. Manfred said, but Young didn't even look at him.

Sighing helplessly, Manfred took an oversized wide-brimmed hat and put it on his head, his appearance was so conspicuous that he had to hide his face in order to avoid trouble.

Walking to the street and looking at the unfamiliar environment, Manfred suddenly sighed that no matter what kind of prosperous city it is, it can't resist the devastation of war, just like human beings can't resist aging.

He tugged at the brim of his hat, and although it was almost dusk, the sun was shining on him, and Manfred felt quite uncomfortable. Without the source of Franconian power, Manfred is just a vampire, at most a vampire who lives a little longer, and the sunlight is still quite a threat to him, even if it doesn't burn him to ashes, it will make Manfred feel a tingling in his skin, and his magic will be suppressed.

It was precisely because the magic had been suppressed to a certain extent that Manfred's perception was not as keen as before.

Because the war of Deweide has not ended for a few days, the people of Deweide, who suffered greatly in this war, still have a deep impression of the tragic war, the army of the Ministry of the Interior after the defeat, turned into a chaotic army, and they lost hope and began to loot and destroy in Deweide, which also caused a large number of deaths of the people in the imperial capital, especially in the Bailangning District, it seems that these rebels are particularly interested in the nobles, either for property, or for a report on the humiliation suffered in ordinary life, in short, the Bailangning District suffered, and the Lower River District was destroyed a large block, even when Pritown attacked, it was not so miserable; When the enemy attacked, the Marquis of Metternich chose to ignite the explosives in his home and died with the enemy, but fortunately, the mansion of the Metternich family was big enough, but it did not implicate the surrounding people.

Affected by this, even though the war has ended, the people of Deweide still dare not go out, few shops are open, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, which is a world of difference from the bustling Deweide in the past. If we want to revive the city, I'm afraid Prime Minister Alexander and Prime Minister Pitt will have to think about it.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and Manfred's height is easy to stand out even in the sea of people, so even if he deliberately wears a hat, he still can't make himself inconspicuous.

The few pedestrians on the streets deliberately bypassed Manfred, and the clouds of war not only caused property damage, but more importantly, they would always harbor fear in their hearts.

But Manfred didn't care too much about the fearful or suspicious gazes of these people, he was used to it, and in his long life, there were so many people who looked at him like this, and he didn't need to care too much.

The sun was sinking below the horizon, and without it, Manfred finally felt better. He raised his eyes and looked at the pile of ruins of the Ministry of the Interior not far away, and he couldn't help but show an emotional look on his face.

"If then, I had just killed Jericho, maybe there wouldn't have been so much going on now. As he spoke, he laughed to himself, "But that shouldn't be possible, if that guy is so easy to kill, I won't be ......."

At night, Manfred felt a lot more comfortable, and his magic came alive again, driving the magical endings around him that were invisible to the naked eye, and Manfred spread out the network of perception.

And just as he was exclamating just now, Manfred sensed that there seemed to be a different movement behind him. However, his perception of magic is not clear, and it seems that the other party has some special means to block magic power.

Without pause, he continued to walk forward, while his eyes glanced intently at the glass vitrines of the shop on the side, and by the reflection of the glass, he wanted to peek behind him.

The angle is not enough. No one was shining on the glass, but that wasn't enough to bother Manfred, who kept his head straight ahead as he rolled his eyes and began to look for a suitable reflector.

A few meters ahead, the window of a shop was broken, perhaps as a result of the war, but the shattered glass inside gave Manfred the right angle to see the emotions behind him.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to see the reflection on a few pieces of glass in such a dim environment, but for Manfred, this is just a piece of cake, and if a vampire can no longer see clearly in the night, how can he be called the king of the night?

Manfred's eyes glowed scarlet, but the light in his eyes was different from the light in Swain's eyes at that time, the scarlet in his eyes was slightly dim, if you didn't look closely at his eyes, you would only think that this was Manfred's eyes, but at that time, Swain's eyes were like lanterns on the head of a deep-sea anglerfish, even in the darkest depths, you could clearly see those eyes, and if you were attracted by the light, then what was waiting for it must be a bloody mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth.

Then, with his excellent eyesight in the night, Manfred could see the man who followed behind him, and when he saw the man's face, even a weather-hardened figure like Manfred could not help but be taken aback.

"It's ......" Manfred stared at the broken glass and stopped, "She!"

The man who was following Manfred saw Manfred stop, and realized that he should be exposed, so he took out his pistol from his pocket without hesitation and aimed it at Manfred.

Manfred, who had figured out the identity of the other party, was no longer so jealous, and simply turned around and faced the stalker.

"Miss Victoria No. Jericht, I didn't expect you to follow me again. ”

Standing behind Manfred was a young girl in a brown plaid shirt and black trousers, with a tongue suppressor hat on her head and her hair tucked under the hat. Although she was dressed like the apprentice youth that could be found everywhere in the city, her fair skin and the contours of a girl's face betrayed her true identity.

Swain's younger sister and Ernest's twin daughters.

"Again?" the girl bit down heavily on the word, as if she was a little puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"Hey, probably you forgot, it's normal, after all, it's been more than two months, and people of your age are always easy to forget these trivial things. Manfred smiled, as polite as he had seen Swain for the first time, "I visited your brother Count Jericho two months ago when he came to the Imperial Capital, and at that time, didn't you just follow me and sneak into Count Jericho's mansion?"

The girl's face was completely dazed, and she didn't seem to remember it at all.

"Forget it, such trifles don't matter. Looking at the other party's expression, although Manfred had doubts in his heart, he still suppressed this doubt for the time being, "May I ask what you are doing this time, you are still pointing a gun at me, we have never been masked, there should be no grudge between each other, right?"

"Why are you called that?"

"Your brother and I have some friendship. Manfred waved his hand, smiling at his words in his heart, "Also, I've met your father a few times, and I've even met your twin sister, Miss Sophia, and you look exactly like her, so you can recognize it." ”

"Then why do you think I'm Victoria and not Sophia? ”

"Haven't you seen your sister?" Manfred couldn't help but laugh, "you and she have exactly the same face, but there are slight differences in appearance, for example, you have short hair and she is ......"

Manfred said, and suddenly his face turned very bad, and in front of him, the girl took off her hat, and her long black hair fell down like a waterfall.

"Long haired ......" Manfred looked at Sophia in surprise, he didn't recognize it at the first time.

"Farewell, Mr. Manfred Schneider. Sophia said coldly, "I will remember your speech for the rest of my life." ”

"Bang"

Gunshots.
