The last of the afterglow of dusk dissipated, and on a boulder standing in the wilderness outside Italie, a black bat fell under the cover of the veil of night, and became a slender man, who jumped lightly from the boulder and landed on the grassy ground.

He went around to the side of the boulder, took out a paper roll from a small hole in the boulder, opened it, put it on his body, turned into a bat and flew in the direction of Prince Gurman's Castle.

The bat flew in through the open door of the inner fort and landed in the red-carpeted hall, and he hurried up to the third floor, not alarming Prince Gurman, who was in his study, but went directly to Elizabeth's room.

"Your Highness," the vampire messenger handed the letter back to Elizabeth, who was dressing up at the dressing table, and Anne, the tricky maid standing beside her, took the letter and handed it to the princess.

"Yes. The messenger replied respectfully.

"You didn't see him in person?" said Elizabeth, asking Anne to help her put on her jewelry, as she asked the messenger behind her.

"No, I was routinely checking to see if there was any letter, and when I got there, the letter was already in there, and there was no one else around. The Vampire Courier replied in the affirmative.

"I see, you go down. Elizabeth whispered expressionlessly.

The messenger saluted and was about to leave, when Elizabeth said, "By the way, tell the butler that I am not at home tonight, so that he does not have to prepare my share, and at the same time help me to tell the prince." ”

The messenger turned around and exited the room in agreement, and when she heard the door of the room close, Anne asked softly while helping Elizabeth put on her necklace, "Your Highness, are you going to the humans?"

"Yes," Elizabeth said to Anne, glancing at the wooden plank left behind by the removal of the mirror on the dressing table in front of her, "Adolf said that the sheriff of the Law Enforcement Agency, Hopkins, has quietly gotten out the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' under Lone Wolf, and intends to hand them over to us tonight. ”

"What are you going to do with them?" asked the vampire Lori in a soft voice as she lowered her head and stroked the folds on Elizabeth's dress.

"Didn't you already hear me?" Elizabeth turned her gaze to her face, and Anne looked up to see the deep coldness in the princess's blood-red eyes, and suddenly remembered what she had just told the butler to say.

"I see, Your Highness is wise!" Anne's blood-red mouth revealed a hint of sophistication that was very inappropriate for her appearance and age, and she finished the last step of grooming, and then stepped away to see Elizabeth stand up, only to hear the princess say, "Come on, the time is almost up, we should go." ”

The two of them flew out of the castle through the window in the form of bats, and flew in the direction of Itali City over the silent wilderness and rivers under the night, and when they reached the sky over Italy City, it was midnight, and the city was silent and dark.

Elizabeth and Anne descended from the wall of the ruined courtyard where Adolf lived, and saw a fire shining in Adolf's dilapidated hut, a man in tattered clothes, dozing off with his head bowed in a tattered ash cloak, and a bonfire lit in front of him, with an empty wine jar poured beside him.

"Why is he the only one, Hopkins hasn't come yet?" Elizabeth frowned at this, and led Anne to the shack, where she stopped in front of the filthy shack, covered her nose in disgust, and avoided the stench coming from the stench, and winked at her.

The vampire Lori walked into the shack, bypassed the campfire to the sleeping Adolf, pushed him with his hand, and said, "Wake up, Your Highness the princess is down!"

However, Adolf seemed to have drunk too much, and Anne called him several times, but he only snorted twice and continued to snore, and Elizabeth glanced at him in disgust, and shook her head, "What a disgusting thing humans are!"

"Get up, don't sleep, Her Royal Highness is angry!" Seeing this, Anne raised her little foot and kicked Adolf fiercely, and Adolf, who felt the pain, was shocked, straightened up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Her Royal Highness is waiting for you, where are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" Anne asked with a glaring glare at Adolf, who was not yet fully awake.

"Your Highness Princess, ah, yes, I almost forgot!" Adolf touched his head hidden under his cloak and said, "You just asked the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, right?"

Speaking of this, Adolf paused for a moment, and suddenly ripped off the ash cloak on his head with one hand, raised a silver handcuff with the other and aimed it at Elizabeth and said, "Isn't this right in front of you?

Hearing only the "bang" of a gunshot, Elizabeth, who was caught off guard, only felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, she stepped back in surprise, and saw the man in the shack jumping up from the ground, and George, who was blonde and white-robed, shook off his shabby gray cloak and fired three shots at Elizabeth.

The vampire princess dodged and dodged, and Anne hurriedly attacked George to cover her master, but unexpectedly, three figures turned over from outside the wall of the small courtyard, the black-robed Donnie and the red-robed Grant brandished silver fists and silver broadswords to pounce on Elizabeth, and the green-robed Robin threw a silver sword and landed at George's feet.

George grabbed the silver sword and forced Anne to rush forward, and suddenly heard the gunfire behind her, Catherine emerged from the roof of the collapsed dilapidated house, raised her gun and fired four shots at Elizabeth, two of which hit Elizabeth's legs, and Elizabeth fell to the ground in pain.

"Your Highness!" Anne hurriedly flashed from the blood mist to her master's side, helping her to stabilize her body, but saw the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse surrounding her from four directions.

"Unexpectedly, I have fallen for the trick of the lone wolf again!" Elizabeth felt that her arms and legs were completely unconscious, although Elizabeth was so strong that she would not die immediately after being hit by a silver weapon like ordinary vampires, she was still incapacitated by such severe injuries.

"Get out of here, Anne, go back and tell my uncle that he can take revenge on humanity for me!" Elizabeth said in a hoarse voice, pushing Anne back.

"No, Your Highness, I can't do that!" exclaimed Anne.

"I'm afraid Prince Gurman won't have time to avenge you. Catherine, who jumped from the roof, pointed at Elizabeth with a silver hammer and said, "You don't know, Mr. Rogge has already arranged everything, the Itali army and the Apocalypse Guild have surrounded the Prince's Castle, and Prince Gurman is already unable to protect himself. ”

"The lone wolf has taken great pains," said Elizabeth, smiling mockingly, and shaking her head, "but what is the point of what he is doing, that mankind will regard him as a hero because of this? No, he will always be an abominable beast, no one will be grateful to him, he will always be hated!"

Catherine stared coldly at Elizabeth who fell to the ground and sneered, and slowly pressed down with the hand that pulled the trigger, and the tricky maid Anne, who was standing behind Elizabeth, tore off a small puppet from her belt and threw it at Catherine, Catherine's eyes were quick, and she shot back and hit the puppet in mid-air.

The bulleted puppet did not fall apart, but quickly grew to human size, showing its sharp claws and pounced on Catherine, who shot through the doll's head, but the puppet made of sewn cloth ignored her shot and swooped in front of her with a wave of its claws.

Catherine hurriedly drew her sword and slashed at the dolls, George and others not far away rushed towards Elizabeth together, Anne threw all the puppets on the belt, and instantly turned into a dozen crazy dolls, waving sharp claws to block the way of the four.

The people who were blocked by the puppets had to fight the dolls and tear them to pieces with sharp blades, when a blood-red mist rose from the courtyard and soon filled the entire courtyard.

When Catherine and the others knocked down all the dolls, Monica, the little flower spirit, cast a wind magic to dispel the mist, only to find that Elizabeth and Anne were gone.

......

Meanwhile, outside Prince Gurman's castle, earth-shattering shouts of slaughter surrounded the castle, and Itali's army had broken through the castle walls and entered through the drawbridge at the main entrance.

In the hall on the first floor of the castle, the red carpet is littered with the armor thrown by vampire warriors and the broken robes of vampire mages, and the remaining vampire guards are still sparing no effort to fight the human army, and the corpses of humans and the ashes of vampires are scattered on the red carpet of the hall.

"Go to the third floor and find Prince Gurman!" Antonio, the head of the Silver Dragonwinged Knights, who commanded the Itali army, saw the vampires disappear one after another wherever the holy light emitted from the sacred spear in his hand went, and the knight commander shouted an order, and the soldiers ascended the stairs and rushed to the upper floors of the castle.

Soldiers with sharp blades kicked open the doors of every room on the second floor, rushed in to search the people in the room, and killed the vampire minions they found on the spot, and the stubborn vampire warriors fell at the soldiers' feet one after another, and the second floor of the castle was quickly occupied by the soldiers.

"Your Excellency, we have searched the second floor and found no whereabouts of the holy artifact. An officer reported to Antonio.

"Go to the third floor, the Apocalypse should have controlled the third layer, but still be careful, Prince Gurman's power is very strong, don't be careless!" Antonio told the officer.

The soldiers ascended the stairs to the third floor and came to the dark corridor on the third floor, which was dead silent, with vampire armor and cloaks scattered on the carpet in the corridor, and many doors were open, and the soldiers cautiously approached the doors and saw that the houses were empty.

Antonio, who had learned the news, went to the third floor himself, and after inspecting the rooms in the corridor in turn, he ordered someone to ascend the stairs to the fourth floor to check the situation above, and led the other soldiers to the two golden doors at the end of the corridor.

The soldiers told Antonio that the door had been locked from the inside and could not be opened, and Antonio told Tali and the soldiers to back off, and he raised his holy spear to the door, and the spearhead shot the holy light on the door, and the two gates fell to the ground with a bang.

Antonio stepped into the door and saw ten members of the Apocalypse in gray cloaks standing next to a large desk in a large study room with luxuriously decorated swords.

"Your Excellency, our men have taken control of the third and fourth floors, but have not found Prince Gurman, nor have they found the whereabouts of the Holy Artifact. The Apocalypse owes a report to Antonio.

"Where's Rogge?" asked Antonio, glancing at the room.

Before he could finish speaking, the fireplace behind the desk rumbled and swirled, and Rogge's voice came from inside: "Captain, it's long overdue, come in and see what I've found." ”
