As soon as Marius finished speaking, the bronze door of the Lord's Hall was slowly closed by the guards outside.
The young man raised his brows and narrowed his slender eyes.
In that moment of hesitation, he missed the best opportunity to escape.
"Your Excellency, your name is not Alexandro Varul. Show your true identity and stop making meaningless disguises."
On the throne in the hall, the elector Marius ordered in a deep voice.
Following the lord's order, two rows of Elector Guards halberdiers instantly lowered their spearheads and stabbed the young knight in the center of the hall.
All the changes happened in an instant. An ordinary person would have been stabbed to death by a random halberd.
However, young people are not ordinary people...
As Marius realized, as a squire and knight, he knew too much.
When twelve Janissary Halberdiers stabbed at him from all directions at the same time, the informer in the center of the hall could no longer hide his identity. He threw away his coat, roared loudly, and exposed his sharp fangs.
A roar like a wild beast echoed in the Lord's Hall of Baylohof Castle.
The two closest halberd guards had their necks broken in an instant.
The speed of the vampire was so fast that all the imperial halberd guards who attacked just now failed to stab the monster.
He scurried around the sealed hall like a shadow.
Revealing scarlet blood eyes and terrifying fangs. The thin and slender fingertips suddenly grew sharp claws.
After tearing apart the imperial soldiers in front of Marius with his bare hands, he rushed towards the elector Marius crazily.
However, as the elector and the great lord of Avelheim, Marius was already prepared.
Just when the vampire was about to pounce on Marius, a flaming spear thrust out across the air, like a fire dragon unsheathing, and immediately illuminated the throne, stabbing straight at the running vampire.
Otto Belen, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Sun, took action.
In the air, the vampire tried to dodge, but it was too late. Due to the inertia of his body, he could not withdraw in time, and he slammed into the tip of the captain's spear.
The blazing flames burned its skin and hands, and penetrated its entire palm.
Screams and roars echoed in this dark hall again, and at this moment, it had become a dark dungeon.
The tiny window was originally used to protect the vampire from sunlight, but now, it has cut off the vampire's only escape route.
The injured vampire hid in the corner and roared, looking in horror at the imperial soldiers surrounding him from all directions.
Those mortal soldiers who were originally weak and invincible have now become terrifying harvest nightmares for vampires.
More than a dozen halberdiers approached step by step. On the throne, Marius looked on with cold eyes. The grand leader of the knights held a flaming spear in his hand and glared ahead.
The vampire from the trapped beast flew out again, killing behind the imperial halberdier at the speed of an afterimage. His sharp claws inserted through the gap between the helmets, piercing the soldier's eyes, and blood suddenly flowed from the broken halberdier's body.
Spurting out of the eye socket. But at the same time, two guardsmen also thrust their swords into the vampire's body.
The sharp silver sword pierced the calf tendon, and the other silver sword penetrated from the back shoulder and plunged into the vampire's chest.
The bloodthirsty vampire roared crazily and slapped away the two guardsmen behind him. However, just as he slapped away the two heavily armored guards with his front feet, the knight's spear burning with flames came crashing down on his back feet.
There was an explosion in the air, and a strong air flow mixed with blazing heat came from behind the vampire.
In just a moment, the vampire's chest was pierced from behind.
The immortal heart was pierced by a fiery spear, and a large amount of unclean blood burst out.
The vampire knelt on the ground, thick blood dripping from his mouth.
However, the grand leader did not give it a chance to struggle.
Instead, he grasped the spear tightly, picked up the vampire directly, and nailed it to the wall!
The firelight reflected that ferocious grimace, and blood soaked through the body. The beautiful long silver hair just now was also dyed red by blood, and streaks of blood were solidified.
"Is there anything else you want to say? Your Excellency, young knight."
At this time, Marius slowly stood up from the lord's throne and walked to the dying vampire.
The humanoid monster nailed to the wall still wanted to struggle. It stretched its hands towards the spear and tried to use its last strength to pull the spear out of its body.
But the Imperial Guards pulled out their swords fiercely and pinned the vampire's arms to the wall.
Beast-like screams echoed in the hall.
Until the bloodthirsty monster kicked its feet and died.
Only then did Beren put down the spear in his hand. The vampire, who had become a bloody corpse, slid down the wall and lay on the ground without a breath.
"Vampire's alienation plan."
Belen let go of the spear in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with disdain.
"It's a stratagem, but what it says is also true."
Walking out of the blood-smelling hall, Marius answered slowly, more like talking to himself.
The hazy sky in Byronhof resembled his mood at the moment.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Grandmaster Beren obviously didn't quite understand what Marius meant.
This was obviously the enemy's plan to create discord. He couldn't defeat them on the frontal battlefield, so he started to sow discord.
However, Marius, who had already seen through the conspiracy, believed it again... This made the grand leader Beren look confused.
"It's true that he is a vampire, but his information is true."
Marius replied meaningfully.
The wrinkles on his face looked deeper than ever. The enemy of my enemy was my friend, but when the common enemy was no longer a threat, it was possible for friends at home to become friends.
He remembered the envoy who had just returned from Waldenhof a few days ago. Rhodes refused to hand over the city. Although the Yankee had a complete set of rhetoric and theories, no matter how he defended, he could not cover up his monopoly.
Facts about the city of Wadenhof.
After conquering all of Sylvania, who knows what will happen after conquering every castle in Sylvania. While you have to be wary of the dead, you must also be wary of the living at your doorstep. Hum... Marius
He sneered. The empire has always been like this, and Kislev is no exception.
He began to believe that the so-called secret agreement was nothing more than a unilateral lie by Rhodes.
He can indeed sign contracts with other electors, just like when signing an agreement with himself, and donate all the captured cities in exchange for other benefits.
As for the final ownership of these territories, it was all left to the empire.
At that time, he can leave Sylvania gracefully with generous rewards, but leave the mess to the electors like the Empire to clean up. Everyone wants to get the castle and territory, so let's fight for it, like
Just like the fight for Bylokhov, it was a life-and-death fight. But those Kislev ladies, those cunning Yankees, were watching from the sidelines.
Marius could almost imagine Rhode's proud face. Thinking of this, he was filled with anger and gritted his teeth.
