With eight castles already in mind, Gervais could be devastating for these small castles.

Gervais went to the next stop of the city wall, and then showed the eight noble heirs he had captured, and without even opening his mouth to blow up his name, the noble heirs above knew what to do, and obediently ran down from the city wall, tied his hands and captured.

Although the eldest prince had seen several baronial castles on this route see the Thunder Knights galloping past the night before, the Thunder Knights have nothing to do with them.

These noble heirs were stationed in the castle on the orders of their fathers, so naturally they could not escape in advance.

Nobles can be cunning and unscrupulous, but when it comes to combat, they must be brave enough to face it.

Even if they surrendered and became prisoners in the end, they had to go through the baptism of blood and rain to be considered qualified heirs.

"Oh, Phoenix, you're there too!"

"Oops! Babette, you're there too! ”

For some time afterward, such strange greetings rang out from Gervais's captive group.

If one or two people were captured by Gervais, it would be absolutely miserable and humiliating.

But now there are more than a dozen of them, and they are almost in a team, and everyone is indifferent.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, even if you become a prisoner, you will not be punished too much in front of your father at that time, after all, it is not that we are too incompetent, but that the enemy is too strong.

Didn't you see that more than a dozen castles were breached by this Viscount Gervais?

They also had an explanation in front of their fathers.

……

The great cause of captivity on Gervais's side was in full swing, capturing these noble heirs like cutting leeks, but the small nobles in Wheat Leaf City were not calm.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Golden Knight is called Gervais, and all our heirs will be captured by him if this continues! ”

More than a dozen vassals of the Golden Mai family sat at the dining table speechlessly, complaining while eating their lunch.

"Not the Golden Knight, but he has fifty trebuchets!"

"This is also outrageous! Fifty trebuchets! Smashed the walls of my castle! ”

The man who spoke was Baron Bob, Barbett's father, and he and Baron Bane were the saddest of the petty nobles.

Although the sons of the other lords were captured, their castles were not attacked, except for his Kalunburg and Baron Bain's Bainburg, which were smashed by Gervais with trebuchets.

It took a lot of effort and money to repair the castle.

"Alas! This Weiss is indeed shameless, and the ransom is even more expensive for 800 gold coins, no one is missing! In previous years, the ransom of the baron's heir was 200 gold coins! ”

"Yes! It's so shameless! We're going to save up 800 gold coins for years! I really want to go back and arrest that Gervais right now! ”

"It's useless for you to go back now, I heard that Gervais's route doesn't seem to be fixed."

"Didn't the Thunder Knights attack the camp of the Grand Prince of the Duchy of Jean the day before yesterday! On their return, they sent scouts to reconnoiter near my castle in an attempt to find Gervais and free some of our offspring. ”

"As a result, Gervais didn't know where to hide, and the Thunder Knights searched all morning but couldn't find it, and finally had to come back."

"Alas!"

Suddenly, the vassals sighed.

These people didn't know that the reason why Thunder Knight couldn't find Gervais's team, at that time Gervais was preparing to assassinate the Great Prince, so Ike and the others hid in the depths of the woods, of course, it was impossible to be discovered.

……

After Gervais took over several castles on the route of the Great Prince, he felt that the number of hostages in his hand was not too large, and the amount of money exchanged for Caroline might be a little insufficient, so he quickly went to the route of other families.

Before leaving the Grand Prince's route, Glovestre asked the people in the castle to leave a message that if they saw the Rose Banner team coming, they would help inform them and let them go to the battlefield ahead to collect the corpses.

The little nobleman of the Wynton family gave Gervais a lot of feelings, so Gervais decided to ask someone from the Jones family to help collect the stone.

Burn those little nobles into ashes, and help bring them back if they can, and other ordinary soldiers can only bury them on the spot.

Over the next few days, Gervais had several noble heirs captured, including two on the route of the Larkin family, and one for each of the other three earl families.

Since then, Gervais has finally gathered 20 noble heirs, which is as high as 16,000 gold coins if converted into ransom.

This is a very frightening number, and it will take years for some of the weaker earl families to save up this money.

……

After he stopped, Gervais directly led his team of more than two hundred people towards Maiye City.

Gervais was not prepared to join the king and the ranks of the earls first, because the 'fruits of war' that he had harvested from other families could not be put on the surface, and even if others speculated, as long as there was no evidence, there was nothing to be done about him.

But if he takes the initiative to expose it, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

And another reason is that since you plan to try to rescue Caroline, you need to act quickly, although the identity of this woman is there, but it will inevitably change over time.

On the way to Maiye City, Gervais also ordered his subordinates to remove their armor and weapons, leaving only Ike and Laurie with more than 20 people to replace them with armor and weapons captured from White Rock City.

After all, the large army of the Duchy of Jean is still in the rear, and Gervais and his party are now running towards Maiye City, which can be regarded as a lone army, and it is always more convenient to change into the armor of the Duchy of Alban, and Gervais has also thought about the identity of his team in advance.

He didn't choose to attack or persuade him to surrender when he passed by the last castle, because it was the Wynton family's offensive route, and he couldn't force the business of the Lord of the North.

However, Gervais also asked for the name and surname of the lord of the castle.

……

"Hello! That's right, you are from the Polly family, Baron Polly is my father, we heard that there is a very powerful man named Gervais in the Duchy of Jean, so we packed our things in advance and prepared to go to Maiye City to find my father, otherwise if we are captured by that Gervais, we will have to pay a ransom of 800 gold coins! ”

"Oh, son of Baron Poli!"

"That Gervais is indeed very powerful, we have encountered more than a dozen castle stewards on patrols around here in the past few days, all of whom went to Maiye City to report that the nobleman's heir was captured by Gervais!"

It was a squad of more than a dozen rangers, led by a bronze horseman, who met Gervais and the others.

Seeing that there were more than 200 Gervais, many carriages, and wearing the armor of the Duchy of Alban, the ranger team did not immediately leave to look for support, but cautiously stepped forward to inquire about the identity of Gervais and the others.

Because they themselves are rangers, they know the specific movements of the large forces of the Duchy of Jean best, and the troops of the Duchy of Jean are still hundreds of miles away, and it will take several days to reach here.

Although there were a large number of Gervais and his party, there were less than thirty people in armor, and the others were all dressed as serfs, plus large carts and small carts, like a fleeing procession.

At this moment, after listening to Gervais's explanation, this group of rangers believed Gervais's statement.

Gervais was originally seventeen or eighteen years old, and said that he was the son of a certain baron, of course, he would not reveal it.

"Yes! I also listened to the words of those castle stewards, so I left the castle and prepared to go to Maiye City with my things, otherwise I would definitely be captured by that Gervais at that time. ”

"But I'm on the run, and I don't know if my father will be angry then."

Gervais looked a little apprehensive with deep disapproval, and then thought of the punishment for escaping, and his face was a little depressed.

"Alas!"

The Ranger captain shook his head and sighed.

He also knew that the lords were strict with their heirs, although that Gervais was not something that these small castles could prevent, and the baron's heir in front of him could be regarded as saving money for his father, but after all, he abandoned the castle and fled, punishment was inevitable, and it was more likely to deprive him of inheritance rights.

Although the eldest heir can obtain everything in the family in the future, the corresponding responsibilities must also be borne.

Like those second sons, as long as they didn't take the initiative, they would have run away to Maiye City with other family members for refuge, but these eldest sons had to stay in the castle and maintain the majesty of the castle!

Seeing that Gervais was not in a good mood, the Ranger captain said no more, said goodbye to Gervais politely, and then continued to patrol other places.
