Chapter 413: Temporary Cameo!
Harvesting the castles on the other family routes did not conflict with Gervais's plan to assassinate the Grand Prince, so Gervais immediately made up his mind and prepared to try his idea.
So Gervais directly took out his simple map and studied it.
I don't know if the eldest prince has a special significance for the arrangement of the route, the Jones family's offensive route is on the far left of all the families, that is, the most marginal barony of the county of Golden Mai.
Further to the left, it is already out of the realm of the county of Golden Wheat and is a vast forest with no people.
Adjacent to them to the right of the Jones family route is the Charles family, and adjacent to the Charles family is the Grand Prince's own team.
In this way, the ranks of the Charles family and the Grand Prince directly form an invisible wall of sight, and if the Jones family wants to march towards Wheat Yee City, they must pass through the route of the Charles family and the Grand Prince.
"Since you're so close to me, you can only consider yourself unlucky"
Although Gervais vaguely sensed that something was wrong, he was not too worried about it now because of the strength of the black kiwifruit.
On the contrary, he felt that he was in harmony with his heart, and if he could snatch some gold coins from the mouth of the Charles family, he would be very happy.
……
Next, Gervais's route was re-planned, heading directly to Charles's house on the right
Gervais calculates that he can run to the front of the eldest prince's team, hide his subordinates, and then assassinate the eldest prince.
Thinking of this, Gervais gave an order, and began to march quickly with his men, even if it was to eat, Gervais also ordered everyone to proceed in the carriage.
The soldiers on the horses were also divided into two groups, and they could take turns to rest on the carriages.
And Gervais himself was already sitting in the carriage to cope with the day and night journey.
After more than ten hours of day and night, the more than 200 people of Gervais finally interspersed with the route of the Larkin family.
There were a total of six noble domains on the line of attack of the Larkin family, the first of which was the Viscount's Castle and the others were the Baron's Castle.
When Gervais arrived at the second baronial castle, it was still intact, and the defenders were nervously guarding the castle.
The Charles family was moving at the same speed as Gervais had guessed, and they were still attacking the first Viscount Castle at this time.
The vassals of the Charles family were numerous, but they were not as wealthy as Gervais, who had fifty trebuchets, so every war was a real primitive siege, and it would take a day or two to capture a viscount fort.
……
While the vassals of the House of Charles were still attacking their first target, Gervais had already circled in front of them and began to snatch their 'fruit'.
"Listen, people on the city walls, we are the team of the Charles family of the Duchy of Jean, now give you ten minutes to consider whether to surrender or not! If you are willing to surrender, you only need to hand over the heir of your castle baron, and redeem it with another 800 gold coins when the time comes! ”
"If you are not willing to surrender, then you can only taste the trebuchet!"
Standing at the foot of the Baron's Castle, Gervais did not use the Jones family name, and he needed to avoid the Charles family finding a way to sue the king.
Now in the name of the Charles family itself, even if the vassals of the Charles family have some guesses, they have no way to take themselves, and they get the ransom a few days later, who will Charles find to testify!
Many times the rules and regulations of the aristocracy are like this, as long as they are not put on the bright side, they will die in a high-profile manner, and everyone will turn a blind eye.
"The Charles family? Doesn't it mean that only the Jones family has this rule? ”
Standing on the city wall was a young man dressed in full armor, the eldest son of the baron who had stayed in the castle, and his face was full of doubts when he heard Gervais's persuasion to surrender.
When Gabby and the others passed by their castle, they did talk about Gervais, but they clearly said that Gervais belonged to the Jones family.
And because one after another the stewards of other castles came to say words of persuasion, they had to pay attention and began to think about the gains and losses.
In particular, Gabi and the other three also said that Gervais had fifty trebuchets, and if he was unwilling to surrender, he would use the trebuchet to smash them regardless of 3721.
No one is not afraid of such a commotion, so these noble heirs who stayed in the castle are thinking about whether it is cost-effective to simply surrender directly if they really meet the legendary Gervais.
Otherwise, when the city wall collapses and he is captured again, the loss will be great, and this is a lesson from the past.
"That's right! It's the Charles family! Of course, this is only a temporary cameo! ”
"That's it! Don't talk nonsense, I said that I am from the Charles family, and I am from the Charles family, na, Babette, Phoenix, and Ulrik are all here, do you want to ask them! ”
Facing the doubts of everyone above the castle, Gervais generously gave an explanation, and at the same time, in order to prove the credibility of his words, he pointed to the three Babette and said to the castle.
"Temporary cameos? What do you mean? ”
Hearing Gervais's explanation, the people in the castle were even more confused, can the family ownership be changed at will?
This is a feudal monarch, not a wife, you can change it if you want to!
However, when they heard Gervais's next sentence, everyone looked at the three people who were tied to their upper bodies beside Gervais, and the baron's heir immediately recognized several people.
They are all about the same age, even if they don't have a big social relationship on weekdays, but as the heirs of the family, they are still familiar with each other who have participated in banquets together.
"Viscount Gervais, I am willing to be your hostage, I hope you can keep your promise!"
"Of course!"
It was confirmed that Gervais was the inhuman guy in the trench that Gabi and others said, and the eldest son of the baron did not struggle much, and directly exchanged surrender for the safety of the castle.
Although he didn't know why Gervais used the name of Charles, the three barons' heirs were real, and the tarpaulin was deliberately lifted from the carriage behind him, revealing trebuchet parts.
Soon, the baron's heir ran down from the castle, and when the baron's heir was tied up, he told his castle steward to go to Maiye City to report the news, and Gervais suddenly remembered something.
So he said to the eldest son of the baron: "I, I promise not to attack your castle, but I dare not guarantee the other nobles of the Duchy of Jean, so I have a suggestion here, you had better let all of your subordinates withdraw from the castle, anyway, there is nothing of value in the castle." Even if there are other Duchy of Jean troops coming, they will not attack your castle. ”
Gervais was a principled man, and since the baron's heir was so cooperative, Gervais didn't mind mentioning more.
If the guards and servants in the castle do not withdraw, when the troops of the Charles family arrive, they will definitely attack the city.
If these people had run away and the castle gates would have been opened, the Charles family would not have to attack the city again.
"This ...... Ok ......"
The baron's heir saw that Gervais was not joking, and although he felt that Gervais had discounted his promise a little, now that things had come to this point, he had nothing to scruple about.
So the baron's heir quickly explained a few words to the castle steward.
Seeing that he had finished explaining, Gervais did not delay, quickly brought a few people back to his team, and then began to rush to the next baronial castle.
