Chapter 401: Affinity? (2-in-1)
"Father!"
When Gervais entered the tent, he saw that he had been left alone by Alice.
"Little Gervais! Or you should stay with the Earl! Your loot is already big enough to keep adventuring like this. ”
Alice apparently left Gandalf to tell him what Gervais had told him about the previous night.
As soon as Gandalf saw Gervais, he immediately spoke out in fear.
"Father, don't worry! I'm absolutely sure I'll make such a decision! You don't have to persuade me! ”
When he talked to Alice last night, Gervais wasn't so confident.
But since winning the black kiwifruit, Gervais dared to pat his chest and say that it was absolutely no problem to protect himself.
Gervais estimated that unless he met a knight of the Golden Intermediate or above, he would definitely be as stable as Mount Tai.
Moreover, how could the Golden Knight come to trouble his little viscount, so this is completely a probability of almost zero.
"Alas......"
Gervais's firm tone made it impossible for Gandalf to continue to persuade him, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Gervais now showed that all aspects of his life had completely overshadowed him as a father, and Gandalf could not discipline Gervais as freely as he used to.
If it weren't for Gervais who he watched grow up, Gandalf would have wondered if his little Gervais had been replaced by someone else! Especially the kind of temperament that Gervais has now, and he already has the real momentum of a superior.
Gervais didn't know the psychological journey of his cheap father, but he was relieved to see that Gandalf didn't say anything more.
Then Gervais looked at Alice again, and he didn't have time to say hello to his cheap wife after entering the tent.
However, it was only when Gervais set his eyes on Alice that Gervais realized that his cheap wife was a little strange today.
Because Alice was staring at him in a daze, Gervais could tell from Alice's royal blue eyes that they were full of curiosity.
In addition, there are some ...... Anyway, it's like seeing a novelty!
Yes, that's how it feels!
Next, Gervais also looked at Alice carefully a few times, and found that Alice still did not respond.
"It shouldn't be! Lilia washed my face, and she should have warned me if something was wrong with my face! ”
Gervais couldn't help but touch his face, a little puzzled.
Just now, Pat's little fat man also looked at himself several times, and now his cheap wife is even more weird, looking at himself as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Alice?!"
Gervais finally couldn't take it anymore and tentatively shouted at Alice.
"Ahh
Alice was finally reacted to Gervais's shout, and after a moment of panic, she immediately retracted her thoughts.
"Gervais, since you've decided, let's go to the eldest prince's team later!"
Alice's face flushed slightly, but it was not obvious, but it seemed that he was more flamboyant, and in order to hide her embarrassment, Alice blurted out casually.
She didn't know what was going on, but when she saw Gervais for the first time today, she noticed that Gervais's temperament had changed.
As for how it became, Alice couldn't say how it became.
So she could only stare at Gervais and continue to look, not wanting to focus, and was discovered by Gervais for a while.
"Yes, Alice! I've brought the girls and unicorns from the medical team! Then I'll bother you for the next while! ”
Gervais looked at Alice suspiciously several times, and found that Alice's expression immediately became normal, and she could only change the topic to get down to business.
After Gervais finished breakfast, the first horn of the northern camp had sounded, and half an hour later, when the second horn sounded, Gervais and the others were about to lead the team to converge.
"By the way, Gervais, this time, I have already explained to the vassals, if there is anything that needs to be decided collectively, let them listen to you as much as possible."
"Okay, no problem!"
With the addition of these vassals, Gervais is not alone in the face of the eldest prince, and if the eldest prince and others dare to go too far, they must also consider the opinions of the thousands of people in the Jones family.
After Gervais and Alice continued to talk about what to look out for, Gervais left Alice's tent.
……
"My lord, all the personnel are ready to go."
Next to Gervais's own camp, the entire camp had been emptied by this time, and all the equipment and supplies had been loaded.
And Gervais's nearly 200 subordinates have also been sent to line up and wait for departure.
"Let's go!"
After receiving Ike's report, Gervais rode a black war horse and gave an order, and then the whole team slowly drove towards the outside of the camp.
Woo~Woo~
As Gervais's party crossed the western wall, they heard a second loud trumpet from the northern camp, indicating that the king was gathering his troops and signaling that they were ready to go.
……
"My lord, I don't know which family lord you are, I'll register you."
Rounding the corner of White Rock City, Gervais saw two huge teams outside White Rock City standing apart from each other, and in both teams were banners and people neighing.
As Gervais and his team were about to approach, a group of rangers came running in the distance, and among the rangers was a middle-aged man in a silk dress who looked like an aristocracy.
After he came to Gervais, he did not dismount, but he spoke to Gervais in a very respectful tone.
"My name is Gervais Gale, from the Jones family!"
Gervais knew that this was a necessary process, so he replied casually to the smiling nobleman in front of him.
"Ahh You're the Viscount Gervais who broke through White Rock? No wonder you look so extraordinary that you make a good impression at the first sight! ”
The little nobleman in charge of registration was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was Gervais, the famous earl's husband who had conquered White Rock City yesterday.
"Huh! Your Excellency is gracious! That's just a fluke! ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, the little nobleman in charge of registration was quite polite, and Gervais was polite to him.
"Viscount Gervais, it's already registered! Then I won't bother you anymore! You can now go directly to the team over there, and the team on the left is led by the Great Prince! ”
This little nobleman originally felt that Gervais was quite pleasing to the eye when he first saw Gervais.
At this moment, seeing that Gervais's tone was also very polite, the little nobleman in charge of registration was even more polite, and pointed to the team in the distance by the way, guiding Gervais where to go.
"Thank you, Your Excellency! Then I'll go over there first! The call horn has sounded! ”
……
After parting with the little nobleman whose name he didn't even know, Gervais sat on his horse, his eyes rolling, and he raised his hand and scratched at his chin, pondering what it was.
Originally, Gervais's reaction between Pat and Alice was thought to be a coincidence, but when the little nobleman he didn't know showed enthusiasm for himself, Gervais noticed something unusual.
"Is it the power of orange kiwifruit? Affinity? Men and women kill together? ”
Gervais guessed that today's inexplicable events were probably related to the orange kiwifruit he ate last night.
Isn't affinity just to let people let down their guard and get close to themselves!
"If I had a skill in my previous life, I would be invincible! It's a pity that it's useless in this other world! ”
Gervais couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, and there was still some flesh for his own lottery chances.
If it was in the world of the previous life, such an affinity would definitely allow an ordinary person to reach the pinnacle of life, become a CEO, and win Bai Fumei.
But in this world, Gervais is now a viscount lord, holding the power of life and death of thousands of people.
And his nominal identity is Alice, a super white and rich husband, so he doesn't need to work hard in this regard at all.
So the affinity added to his current body is completely icing on the cake!
……
In the midst of his thoughts, Gervais had already arrived in the ranks of the vassals of the Duchy of Jean.
This is an army that can no longer be a ragtag, and the ranks are uneven and disorganized in terms of soldiers and weapons and equipment.
Compared to the direct soldiers of those big nobles not far away, it is simply a rabble.
Of course, this is also the norm in this world.
The big nobles have the opponents of the big nobles, and they, the small nobles, also have the enemies of the small nobles.
And this time their team's offensive line, Gervais has already learned from Alice.
The king's next target on his expedition to the south was the county of Golden Mai, one of the five earls of the Duchy of Alban.
The Golden Mai family is one of the strongest earls in the Duchy of Alban.
Moreover, as long as the county of Jinmai is captured, the team of the southern expedition can wreak havoc in the direct territory of King Hayden unimpeded, and even directly attack the Yellow Dragon and directly attack the city of King Hayden.
As for the other four earl families, because the time for the southern expedition was not sufficient, they needed to complete the southern expedition before the winter came, so King Lawrence's strategy was to carry out a beheading invasion, directly cut through the defense line of the Duchy of Alban, and finally capture the royal city of Hayden and destroy the royal capital of the Duchy of Alban.
As long as the city of King Hayden is taken, the entire Duchy of Alban is actually equivalent to falling into the hands of King Lawrence.
The Duchy of Alban was originally split from the Snow Eagle Empire.
If after killing King Hayden, as long as Lawrence orders not to hold other nobles accountable, then these nobles will definitely prostrate in front of Lawrence for their allegiance.
This time, the army was divided into two routes, and the army of the king and the eight earls advanced head-on, and took the wheat leaf city of the Golden Wheat family directly according to the route of previous years.
And this team of Gervais and these vassals will make a detour to invade the castles of the small vassals of the Golden Mai family.
Because in previous years, the Golden Wheat family would summon all the minor nobles under them to go to Wheat Leaf City every year to help defend it, and when the time came, the soldiers of these minor nobles' territories would defend the emptiness.
And Gervais's main purpose this time is to continue to break through the castles of those minor nobles, so that the vassals of the Golden Wheat family can no longer stay in the small nobles, and it is best to leave Maiye City directly.
As long as those little nobles leave the city of Wheat Leaves, then these little nobles are like fish on the chopping block to the Duchy of Jean, and they can eat whatever they want.
Gvester and their vassal team now have more than 30,000 people together, and when they reach the county of Golden Wheat County, they will also be divided into several ways to attack under the love of the eldest prince, showing full blooming combat power, and invading the territory of all the vassals of the Golden Wheat family.
……
Gervais, a team of less than 200 people, joined and did not attract anyone's attention in the first place.
However, when Gervais passed in front of a line of Charles vassals, the minor nobleman recognized Gervais's identity.
Immediately, he told the companions about Gervais's identity.
Suddenly, these little nobles who knew Gervais's identity all looked at Gervais with murderous eyes.
In addition to this fierce ear gaze, there was also a hint of other meaning, and Gervais quickly understood what kind of look it was.
It was a greedy look, and when they looked at Gervais's forehead, it was as if they had seen a large pile of walking gold coins!
"Want to stir up trouble? Hehe! Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! ”
Gervais glared back at the hateful gaze of those little nobles without showing weakness.
These petty nobles are no longer able to deter Gervais by force.
Even against those Bronze Knights, Gervais can slash several of them with a single sword slash like a watermelon.
……
After the second horn sounded, there was still half an hour for the little nobles to come.
Next, the other teams of the Jones family joined the ranks of nearly 10,000 people one after another, and the little nobles such as Pat's little fat Cod had also arrived, and after they saw Gervais's team, they immediately tacitly stood by Gervais's side
Woo~Woo~
The third horn finally remembered that at this moment, all the centaurs of the Duchy of Jean had been assembled.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
As the king and the eldest prince gave their respective orders, the heralds kept running from the front of the line on their horses to relay the order to march.
Gervais hadn't seen the eldest prince yet, because the line they were in was so long that the march of tens of thousands of people could not be seen at all.
And the offensive line of Gervais and their team does not need to worry about Gervais and the others, everything is decided by the eldest prince and a legion commander sent by the king.
The Grand Commander did not come with his legion, but joined Gervais alone.
According to what Gervais had just heard, the leader of the legion was a golden knight, and his main purpose in following this team was to protect the safety of the Grand Prince, and he would not interfere in the siege of the city.
Because as long as he intervenes, it is likely to attract the golden knights of the Duchy of Alban, and then it will be a catastrophe for the other vassal and minor nobles.
After twenty miles, Gervais's team separated from King Lawrence and his team.
On the first day's march to Gervais, they did not encounter any enemies, for it was still a day's journey from the county of Golden Mai, and in the midst of it was a lush field.
"Gervais, do you think it's possible for us to attack the city of King Hayden this year?"
In Pat's little fat man's carriage, Gervais was drinking wine and looking at the scenery on the side of the road.
Pat's little fat man took two sips of wine, quickly took the flask in front of Gervais and poured it for himself, and then asked Gervais.
"I don't know about that! Why, how do you care about the southern expedition this year! In previous years, you were rushing to be a logistics team! ”
Gervais couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his wine when he saw Pat's cow drinking, and replied to Pat angrily.
"Ahem! Isn't it because you've won us a reward! What an attractive temptation to not have to hand over any loot! ”
"I hope we can break through King Hayden this time and empty it! Ha ha! ”
Pat's face was a little unbearable, in previous years, he really didn't care about the victory or defeat of the Southern Expedition, anyway, he must have rushed to be a logistics team.
Sometimes he can't be a logistics team, and he will spend money and bribes to get this position.
But this year, Pat's little fat man was directly carried away by the benefit of not having to hand over the loot, and instead of being a logistics team, he was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
"He actually wants to sack King Hayden's City, Pat has ambition! Maybe you might be able to get that wish this year true! ”
Gervais gave a thumbs up to Pat, with the current strength of the Principality of Jean, it is really possible to be in the Hayden King City, after all, the worries of White Rock City have been eradicated.
With the strength of the Duchy of Jean, as long as there are no other accidents, it can still be powerful in the territory of the Duchy of Alban, but it is not certain that it will break through the royal city of Hayden, and it can only be said that there is still a lot of hope.
……
At noon on the third day after the departure of the team, Gervais and his team of more than 30,000 people finally arrived at the border of the county of Golden Mai.
Thirty miles ahead of them, there was a baron's castle, owned by the vassals of the Golden Mais, and the news had just been reported back by the rangers.
