Chapter 360: The Prologue to the Southern Expedition
The next day, Gervais was woken up by a chaotic noise, got dressed and walked out of the tent, only to find that the tents in the entire station had been cleaned up, and there were people neighing everywhere, including in Gervais's own camp, the tent of Ike and others had already crashed into the carriage, and only the tent where he lived was still supported.
In the distance, halfway up the mountainside, Rose Castle was heading towards a long procession.
"My lord, the water for washing is ready! The villain serves you to wash! ”
At this moment, Gervais's voice rang in Lilia's ear.
Lilia has been promoted to the captain of the medical team by Gervais because of her excellent performance in the medical training, and at this moment Lilia is carrying a copper basin in her hand, which is already filled with water.
"Oh, okay!"
Gervais nodded, before the expedition, because he was going to the battlefield, Gervais did not let Anna's little maid follow, but this kind of thing will definitely be remembered as a castle steward and make arrangements early.
Before leaving, Thomas approached Lilia and explained that she was in charge of Gervais's daily life during the southern expedition.
Although Lilia and the others are medical soldiers, for this world, except for the guards, the other serfs are still only serfs, and they should do anything for the lord.
And Lilia didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
Under Lilia's service, Gervais stood leisurely and asked Lilia to sort out his clothes and prepare for washing, of course, Gervais's behavior was definitely not abrupt, and many nobles in the vicinity were also served, but most of them were served by personal valets.
Tap! Tap!
At this moment, Gervais heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp, and couldn't help but turn to look at who it was who was not his cheap wife who came on horseback.
I saw Alice riding a war horse, wearing armor, he showed a different kind of beauty, and she was followed by several backbones of the Rose Knights of Nadine.
"Alice, morning! Thank you for last night's dinner! ”
Alice's face was as cold as ice, and she glanced at Gervais's camp, but did not speak, and Gervais did not care, and directly thanked him.
In fact, what Gervais is really grateful for is the basic magic skills book that Alice sent me last night.
"Gervais, you want to take these girls to battle?"
Alice asked with a blank face holding back a little anger.
When Lina returned to the castle last night, she reported that Gervais had brought hundreds of women with her.
Alice didn't believe it at first, and when she took hundreds of women to fight, Gervais had to be able to do it.
So Alice passed through the center of the station today, and sure enough, she saw a large area of warblers and swallows in the Gervais camp, which was a strange thing in a strange way.
It's okay to face his vassals, after all, Gervais is his Alice's husband, and no one dares to talk about it openly, but when it comes to joining the king's army, it will definitely become a hot talk.
"Yes! They're useful! ”
Gervais knew why his cheap wife's face was not good.
"Let them stay in Winterfell, war is not child's play!"
"Alice, of course I know that war is not child's play, but they are useful, they are medics! Dedicated to the wounded! ”
At this moment, some of the nearby lords and small nobles also sneaked over and peeked at the two of them tearing apart in public.
"Helping the wounded?"
Alice's brow furrowed slightly, although she didn't believe Gervais's words, but Gervais did make some strange things, and Gervais didn't usually lie.
At this moment, Alice also noticed that many people nearby were secretly watching, and in order to take care of her and Gervais's face, she was not ready to question any more.
"When the team starts marching, you will arrange them by my side!"
Alice put down a word, and then, without waiting for Gervais to answer, rode forward with the Rosenkavalier on her warhorse.
"This cheap wife, I guess she still doesn't believe me!"
Gervais is a little helpless, every innovation will always be questioned, such as his own women's ambulance team that can save the lives of many soldiers.
In fact, it wasn't just Alice who suspected that the little nobles in the nearby camp had already exploded after hearing Gervais's words.
"What ambulance? Helping the wounded? Is Gervais he sure? ”
"Haha, I think it must be an excuse, those delicate girls, when they see blood, they will probably cry, how can they still help the wounded!"
"That's it! I'll tell you secretly, I've heard that Viscount Gervais is very sexy! Hehe, do you think those girls are going to be ......?"
"Wouldn't it? Even if Gervais is a knight, he doesn't need to bring so many of them......"
"Haha! ……”
There's a lot of talk about it, but it's mostly about not believing Gervais's words.
Gervais could occasionally hear whispered discussions not far away, but he didn't care.
"Now look at you dancing happily, there will always be you crying when the time comes! I've decided! A man who does not have a silver coin lies on the ground and wails! ”
……
After Gervais had washed up, the ten serfs had already made breakfast, and after everyone had eaten breakfast, all the belongings in the camp were also cleaned up, and Gervais put on leather armor.
Then came the real journey, and we couldn't even wear armor like we did a few days ago and swagger to Winterfell.
At this moment, Alice's army has been assembled on the avenue two miles ahead, and the other vassals have also been packed, just waiting for Alice's order, it will start immediately, starting the prelude to this year's southern expedition.
As for the speech, it was something that needed to be done after the king had joined forces with the other counts, and it was at that time that the decision was made on how to start this year's war.
After Gervais returned to the group, he had nothing to do and waited for the order from the front, but suddenly he saw more than a dozen knights in silver armor walking over, clearly the Rose Knights.
However, to Gervais's surprise, these more than ten rose knights were all women, and Gervais didn't know that there were women in the Rose Knights before.
"Lord Gervais, my lord asked me to ask you and the medics to come ahead!"
Gervais opened his senses and looked at the women who turned over and dismounted and saluted towards him, these people turned out to be bronze junior knights.
"Okay, but why haven't I heard of a woman in the Rose Knights before? What is your name? ”
Gervais nodded, Alice had something to say first, he didn't have any opinion, following Alice's side, he could also see the stunning face of his cheap wife, just to relieve the boredom of the march.
"My lord, my name is Bonnie, we were both selected to join the Rose Knights three months ago, and we have been training in the Rose Knights camp, so the Lord has never seen us before!"
Bonnie respectfully explained to Gervais.
"Oh, I see!"
Gervais knew that Alice was a countess after all, and there were not many women around her to be personal guards, which was really inconvenient, especially during the war.
Afterwards, Gervais simply brought Icke and the others with him, and the whole team rushed to Alice's place.
Seeing that Gervais's entire team had rushed over, Alice didn't say anything, and ordered Nadine, the new commander, "Start marching!" ”
"The Earl has an order! Start marching! ”
"The Earl has an order! Start ......"
As several heralds galloped on their horses, Alice's order was conveyed to the rear.
When the entire team of the Jones family, including the vassals, moved, a team more than ten miles long began to march on the avenue.
Except for the soldiers at the front, the team is uniformly dressed and has the appearance of an army.
The ones in the back look more like bandit mercenaries, dressed in miscellaneous clothes, and the color patterns of the flags are also 100 meters the same, colorful.
However, this is just Gervais's personal opinion, in this noble lord world, such an army is the norm.
