(62) Dungeon

The stocky interrogator, wearing a leather mask and bloodstained apron and boots, stretched out his stubby, powerful hand to pull out another cast-iron torture instrument from the barrel.

"What a loyal dog! If you don't open your mouth like this, okay, then I'll take away your light! ”

The cold torture instrument approached the eyeball, "Oh my God, don't! I say! I say it all! Put that thing back, okay? "The prisoners begged for mercy in despair.

After two days of torture, the liaison officer, who was affiliated with the coalition intelligence organization, had passed out many times.

He was castrated, lost half of his fingers and toes, and had several teeth removed, and just as the torturers brought out special tools to remove one of his eyeballs, he finally couldn't bear the pain and confessed that they had plotted a coup d'Γ©tat to assassinate the royal family and coerce Prince West as a puppet.

When the truth was revealed, Prince West was stripped of his title as duke, placed under house arrest, and temporarily assumed the powers of duke by the cabinet and parliament.

The Duchy of Valstad is in danger of extinction, and it is imperative to elect a new duke to power, and this successor faces a great challenge, as soon as he takes office, he will face a major attack by the Four-Nation Alliance.

With the fall of the puppet regime and the proclamation of the Cabinet professing their support for the succession of the Princess in Uniform, the Valstad National Salvation Army was completely freed from the status of rebels, and they lowered the banner of rebellion and re-pledged allegiance to the principality, and a few days later, the leaders of the National Salvation Army were surrounded by enthusiastic people into Fort Midknight.

The banquet hall of the palace had not been used for a long time due to the puppet regime's control, and on this day, the Principality's cabinet officials received representatives of the National Salvation Army here.

"There's no rush for anything else, I just want to rescue my wife as soon as possible!" The Earl of Langford was indignant: "She's still pregnant!" These sons of bitches are traitors! Where the hell did you hide her? ”

"The liaison officer who manipulated Prince West behind his back has confessed, he has given a detailed list of coalition agents, our intelligence department has arrested some of the prisoners, and the torture officer is interrogating them without sleep, but these people are so stubborn that they will not confess until they faint......"

At this time, an intelligence officer pushed open the door and said breathlessly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, one of the prisoners who had been knocked unconscious woke up, and he gave an account of everything! Tell the secret dungeon where they hold political prisoners! ”

"Great! Send a squadron of Guards hussars to the rescue! Don't forget to call the royal doctors and ask them to bring their medical equipment and set off together! God forbid! I hope Your Majesty is okay! ”

Earl Langford, Field Marshal Simon, General DalΓ­ and others got up one after another: "Let's go too!" ”

Fort Midknight has a garbage dump near the central market, where the chaos caused by the coup d'Γ©tat and the civil war has left the garbage uncleaned up, the sanitation has deteriorated, the floor is littered with rancid vegetables and meat, and stray dogs are running around.

General Dali frowned: (Who would have thought that the spies kept political prisoners next to the busiest market?) No wonder the police and gendarmes never found it. οΌ‰

Everyone bypassed the garbage heap and entered a hidden dark alley, the human voice alarmed the plague army in the alley, the fat giant rats rushed out, and the intelligence agent in charge of leading the way kicked open a pile of wooden boxes, revealing the weeds behind, and after pulling out the weeds, the rusty manhole cover was finally revealed, which turned out to be the entrance to the dungeon.

A captain of the Guards cavalry took out a crowbar and opened the manhole cover, and a disgusting smell gushed from the dark wellhead, worse than the smell of the garbage dump.

Still, everyone did not mind in the slightest, and the Earl of Langford, who was most anxious about his wife, took the lead and climbed down the ladder first despite the smell, and General DalΓ­ and others quickly followed.

The torches lit up the dark underground world, and after advancing more than ten meters, an iron gate was ushered in, and the intelligence officers took out their tools and picked the lock in only a minute.

Inside the door was the cell where the political prisoners were held, and the wet walls were hung with kerosene lamps, and on the other side was an iron fence with no border in sight, and the corridor was empty, apparently the guards had fled after receiving the news.

The prisoners heard the sound banging frantically on the frame of the iron door, and roared in a hoarse voice:

"Bastard! Do you want to starve us to death? Give us something to eat! ”

General Dali Einfurt recognized one of the prisoners: "You are ...... Baron Baldwin, Minister of the Golden Lake Palace? ”

The man in the cramped cell was unkempt and dressed in tattered aristocratic clothes, and he pressed his face against the railing, quickly recognizing the faces outside the fence.

"Dali Einfoot? A student of Lord Simon? You must be on the princess's side, you can come, so ...... The puppet regime has fallen? Oh, my God! Hahahaha! God forbid! Do you hear that? We are saved! Brothers! ”

There was jubilation in the cell, and the prisoners slammed their chains against the railings and cheered for freedom.

"Friend, don't be in a hurry to rejoice, let me ask you, where have they locked Her Majesty the Princess?"

"Oh...... Your Majesty...... She...... Ay! ”

The withered Baron Baldwin suddenly became gloomy, and he turned his head in the direction of the depths of the cell, and said sadly: "They have imprisoned key political prisoners in the deepest part...... There was always a terrifying voice coming from there...... I'm pretty sure they were abused, and I'm not sure if those people are still alive......"

"What? Oh my God! When the Earl of Langford heard this, he went berserk: "Guards! Go to the deepest cells, be careful with me, and look for them one by one! Hurry up and rescue His Majesty! ”

Soon, a voice came from the front: "Found it!" I found it! It's in the deepest place! The informant is picking the door lock! ”

The crowd continued in the direction of the sound, hearing the screech of metal scraping.

"We opened the door, but ...... Oh, my God! OMG! Get the Imperial Doctor here! Your Majesty needs treatment! ”

When everyone got closer, the lock on the fence had been picked, and everyone was shocked by what they saw.

The Earl of Langford fell to his knees, old tears were in his eyes, and he almost fainted with grief:

"OMG! These brutes! Look...... What did they do to my wife! ”

The cell was filled with a foul stench, and Princess Sarantos Midknight was tied to a wooden cross, her head hunched, her life and death unknown, and all kinds of horrific torture instruments were placed next to her.

Her clothes were almost torn to shreds, covered in blue blood, her hands and feet were shackled with thick chains, her long filthy hair was spread out, and the faint light of kerosene reflected her swollen cheeks, which were obviously beaten, and the skin on her lips was chapped and peeled.

Hearing the sound, the silver-gray eyes slowly opened, staring blankly ahead.

A hoarse and faint voice came out of the mouth of the "water ......"...... I'm about to ...... Die of thirst......"

When everyone saw the unclothed princess, they all looked a little embarrassed and ashamed, and they turned their heads to avoid it.

The Earl of Langford hugged his wife tightly and turned back to the crowd and yelled, "Damn! What are you doing in a daze? What kind of etiquette and shame do you need at this time? Help matters! ”

One of the Guards soldiers quickly untied the water bladder from his belt and handed it to the princess's mouth to feed, and the intelligence officer quickly opened the shackles and shackles, and cut the rope with a dagger, and the princess was weak and quickly collapsed.

The Earl of Langford took his wife with pity, wrapped her in a blanket, and laid her flat on a stretcher, and the doctors immediately gathered around her. "How is she?" The grief-stricken husband asked.

The royal physician of the palace checked the princess's injuries: "I'm not sure, but it is likely that there is a slight bone crack, multiple knife wounds causing heavy bleeding, the overall injury is complicated, and there are multiple infections!" β€œ

The doctor's expression became extremely surprised: "Wait...... The pulse was so steady...... It's unbelievable! This is called the bloodline of the Divine Descent, which is really insightful! If it were mortals, they would have died a long time ago. We need to get His Majesty back to the sanatorium! ”

The Earl of Langford shuddered and asked, "Doctor...... Is my child okay? Seeing his wife in such a tragic condition, he had no hope.

The court physician put on the stethoscope again, pressed the pickup against the princess's slightly bulging belly, and then said in surprise: "I can still hear the fetal heartbeat beating!" What a miracle! In this situation, the child is all right! Don't worry, Lord Earl. ”

"Thank the gods! My heir is alive! The Earl of Langford wept with joy: "Give me a hurry!" Send my wife back to the Jinhu Palace Sanatorium! She must not be allowed to stay in this place for a single minute! ”
