Chapter 207: The Pit Man

"Damn!"

Gervais didn't pay attention to Kevin's provocation, but Pat on the side couldn't stand it a little and cursed in a low voice, but at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, Pat couldn't stand up and fight with Kevin, so he didn't make any other moves after cursing fiercely!

After the archers were auctioned off, it was soon the turn of 30 swordsmen, and although the swordsmen were not as eye-catching as the archers, the bidding prices continued to rise.

From 150 gold at the beginning, it quickly climbed to 170 gold.

When the bidding reached 170 gold coins, the scene fell silent again, and just when everyone thought that the 30 swordsmen would be auctioned off again, Kevin's voice sounded in the field again!

"180 gold!"

Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes!

In an instant, both on the high platform and outside the fence, the audience began to whisper, and the eyes that looked at Kevin were full of respect, after all, Kevin's two shots were just right, which highlighted his wealth and courage.

"181 gold!"

But he was handsome for only three seconds, and just when Kevin was triumphant, thinking that the swordsman would be in his pocket again, a voice came from the side, which instantly shattered his smug mood.

"185 gold coins!"

Kevin gritted his teeth, because the person who made the bid was Gervais, but these slave soldiers Kevin had been thinking about it for a long time, even if Gervais was disgusting, he could only endure and continue to bid, after all, the one with the highest price would get it, and it was justified.

Unlike Kevin, who gritted his teeth, Gervais was drinking a drink, enjoying the cool breeze, and didn't even look at Kevin, looking so breezy and calm, after hearing Kevin's bid, he bid again without hurry.

"186 gold!"

"You ......"

Gervais raised the bar with only one gold coin, Kevin was finally angry, and just wanted to scold, but remembering that he was in full view of everyone at the moment, he could only endure this breath and continued to shout: "190 gold coins!" ”

"Congratulations!"

Gervais accepted when he sees it, after all, he doesn't really want to shoot these long swordsmen, if he raises the bar again, Kevin will give up later, and he will lose a lot!

"Humph!"

Kevin listened to Gervais's flattering compliment, and could only look at him fiercely, and Caroline next to him also glanced at Gervais meaningfully, but Caroline's face did not show joy or anger.

"Congratulations again to this young man......"

With such a high price, when the swordsman fell into Kevin's hands, the host immediately shouted happily, and his eyes lit up when he looked at Kevin and Gervais, after all, one was a big financier, and the other bamboo pole was raised by a level, which made them earn 10 more gold coins in an instant.

And Pat was already laughing happily when he saw such a scene, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people on the scene and the venue did not allow it, he would definitely have to spin the top again!

"Here's the pikeman! If you like it, you have to hurry up and bid! ”

Both the longbowmen and the swordsmen had already fallen into Kevin's hands, and the pikemen, who only had 50 men in the field, had not yet won the prize, and the host did not delay, striking while the iron was hot, ready to sell the spear phalanx for a good price.

However, the swordsman and the longbowman are popular with the minor nobles, because it is in line with their way of fighting, and after the comparison between the two, the pikemen are obviously not as popular as they were at the beginning, after all, they are quite restricted, and the number is not large, and there is only a phalanx, not up or down, and it takes half a ring for a nobleman to speak.

"I'm going to get 100 gold coins!"

Although 100 gold coins are more expensive, it is still quite cost-effective if no one bids, and this nobleman saw that no one bid, so he shouted,

"105 gold!"

After the nobleman shouted, Kevin's voice sounded in the field again, and when Kevin exited, the nobleman who had just spoken out knew that he had no chance, and he had added 5 more gold coins, so he stopped bidding and leaned back in his chair silently.

"This young man bid 105 gold coins, is there any old man who has bid?"

The host was overjoyed, rejoiced when he heard Kevin's bid, and then kept looking at Gervais.

Gervais did not disappoint the host, looked at the host with a smile, and shouted lightly: "106 gold coins!" ”

Hearing Gervais's bid, the host was already happy, there were no words in his mouth, but his eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Kevin again, waiting for Kevin's bid.

It's just that to the disappointment of the host, Kevin just wanted to make a bid, but when he saw Gervais's eager look, he immediately suppressed the words that were about to be spoken, picked up the drink and took a sip, and then stopped talking.

"Congratulations to this young man for the opportunity to be named among 50 pikemen!"

The host was helpless, looked towards the high platform, and found that no one was bidding anymore, so he could only announce that the 50 pikemen had fallen into the hands of Gervais at the price of 106 gold coins.

"it!"

Of course, this foul language was not scolded by Gervais, but came from Pat, as a friend of Gervais, and Kevin's little white face was their common 'enemy', so it felt that Gervais was cheated by Kevin, and Pat was quite unhappy.

"Pat, do you have any money with you? Lend me 50 gold coins first, and I'll pay you back when the wine is sold in two days! ”

Instead of showing any fugsiness on his face, Gervais smiled and approached Pat and whispered to him.

Of course, Gervais was not angry, but he had to rejoice that Kevin was so timid that he only raised the price once and turned off the fire.

Of course, the reason why Gervais came to the high platform was not just to escape the summer, in fact, he had no interest in these slave soldiers.

It was just after talking to Pat that the voice of the system sounded in Gervais's head.

Bite!

Autumn is coming, the southern expedition is imminent, and as a lord, you should have enough troops to fight the war!

Characters: Buy any kind of slave soldier in the Ackert Merchant Circle! (Purchase for the full number of people!) )

Reward: 5 Power Points!

When Gervais heard about this system task, he was overjoyed on the spot.

This system hasn't appeared for a while, and since Gervais knew that the orc leader could get energy points, he didn't care about the system issuing tasks, but he didn't expect the bird system to issue a mission after going around this slave market.

And the rewards are more abundant than ever, 5 power points! Gervais thought it was as easy as picking up the money, so he tricked Pat into coming to the high platform.

Although there is only enough to buy this not very practical pikeman, Gervais is not disgusted, who calls them the cheapest!

Moreover, Gervais originally planned to recruit guards again and train an infantry phalanx after returning from Winterfell this time, which was a plan that Gervais had already had.

In a previous life, What was the strongest infantry regiment in the Western Middle Ages? If it were a head-on battle, it would be the Macedonian phalanx, which was an improved version of the Greek heavy infantry phalanx.

The Macedonian phalanx with its strict formations can easily defeat an enemy who is superior in numbers but in a chaotic formation, and although Gervais is now in another world, the social structure of this world is similar to that of the Western Middle Ages in the previous life.

The Macedonian phalanx in the previous life also proved its brilliant achievements, so even if the number was small, Gervais felt that as long as it was properly coordinated, this spear phalanx could play an unexpected role in field battles.

When Gervais was bidding for the swordsman just now, it was purely to squeeze Kevin, but he was worried that when he bid for this pikeman later, Kevin, the noble son who would definitely repay him, would definitely disgust himself, so it was better to disgust him like this first, and then when bidding for the pikemen, Kevin would lose his judgment and think that he was not interested in the pikeman, but just to continue to run him.

As Gervais expected, Kevin immediately stopped bidding, and it went much smoother than Gervais expected, and Kevin only shouted once and stopped.

Gervais felt that this might be the pikemen dispensable to Kevin, after all, Kevin is the son of the earl, and a big nobleman like the earl, of course, there is no shortage of pikemen, and pikemen are better trained than longbowmen and swordsmen, as can be heard from the introduction of the host just now.

……

Of course, Pat's little fat man had money on him, and when he saw Gervais smiling, it really didn't feel like he had been cheated, so he didn't say more, and generously took out a money bag and put it in Gervais's hand.

"100 gold coins, you take it first, and you can pay it a few days later!"
