"Your Majesty, you have to call the shots for us, that Gervais of the Jones family, who has clearly assigned the offensive route, but now he is running to our route to rob our castle!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, our Larkin family has been robbed of three castles by Gervais! ”

"My Kowan family has been robbed of a castle!"

"I ......"

At this time, the main army of the Duchy of Gien and the ranks of the minor vassals had converged and were stationed fifty miles away from the city of Maiye.

The king summoned the eight counts to the tent, but before the meeting had even begun, one of the earls entered the tent and immediately began to shout against Gervais, telling of the 'miserable' fate of his vassals.

And King Lawrence also watched silently as several earls spit flying, and finally when they had finished speaking, King Lawrence sat up slightly.

"Count Alice, where is Viscount Gervais now?"

In fact, the complaints of several earls have long been in an uproar, except for a few counts whose team has not been 'poisoned', the other earl families have been more or less woolen.

"Your Majesty, Gervais has not returned yet, and I am also sending someone to look for Gervais's traces!"

Rao is Alice's usual cold goddess fan, and at this time she also feels that her cheeks are slightly hot, these counts' accusations, Alice feels that nine times out of ten it is really Gervais who did it.

"Haven't come back yet?"

King Lawrence frowned slightly, now that the vassals of the eight counts have arrived here to converge, why is it that only Gervais has not returned, this king really doesn't know.

"Could it be that Gervais is afraid of what will happen, so he doesn't dare to come back?"

If those castles were really Gervais's handiwork, he had more than a dozen noble heirs in his hands.

So the king thought that Gervais was probably out of fear of being attacked by the other counts, so he hid for the time being.

"Count Alice, what do you think of the accusations made by the counts against Gervais?"

However, even if the Gervais were not there, several of the Earls had already raised objections, so King Lawrence still had to take care of their feelings.

"Your Majesty, I think what the counts said is nonsense, and the total number of Gervais's team is less than two hundred."

"And the ranks of these counts and vassals are in the thousands, how can the more than 200 people of Gervais be faster than them, and they can also rob the castle that belongs to them."

Although she was almost sure that what they accused was done by Gervais, on the surface, of course Alice would not admit it.

If he admits it, Gervais will not only face the king's punishment, but also the noble heirs who have been handed over to these earl families for nothing.

"Count Alice, you're not right to say that! When my vassals arrived at those castles, there was no one in them, but they also caught quite a few castle valets in the nearby woods, and all of them confessed that a man named Viscount Gervais had taken their lord's heir away! ”

"Even my vassals have captured a few castle servants, and they also say that Gervais took their lord's heir!"

Before Alice could say anything in denial, several counts quit and immediately spoke out against it.

Avery, in particular, had only five castles on the offensive route of the Tarakin family, but now three castles had been robbed by Gervais for no apparent reason.

When his vassals came back, they cried to him that the southern expedition had been open for so long, and there was nothing to gain, so they could finally attack a few small castles to get some oil and water, but now they were directly robbed by Gervais.

Those noble heirs are walking gold coins, and half of this walking gold coin was taken away by Gervais, and thousands of them couldn't get anything at all.

"Avery, I'm afraid you're old and confused, serfs and civilians can't be used as witnesses to testify against nobles, and you said that you are arresting castle manservants, and I also said that our Winton family has captured thousands of castle manservants!"

"Do you have nobles or noble heirs as witnesses, and if not, then say no more! Who knows if you're trying to frame the Jones family! If you want to trouble Alice, ask me if I agree! ”

Seeing that Ever's several people unanimously accused Alice, the lord of the north finally spoke, his steel-like beard trembled, and he directly began to scare the air.

"Gust, we're looking for an explanation from the Jones family now, and it's not your Winton family's business!"

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Seeing that a new round of quarrel was about to start below, King Lawrence patted the armrest, stopped everyone, and then asked solemnly to Avery.

"All right, Avery! Do you have any evidence that Gervais robbed the castle on your route? ”

"Nope! Your Majesty! ”

Avery's face was a little ugly, but as the Lord of the North said, the witnesses in his hands were all valets, and they did not have a noble status, and without a noble status, it was impossible to testify against another nobleman.

"Okay, since there is no evidence, then this matter will be shelved for the time being, and I will send someone to investigate later! We now have more important things to discuss. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that King Lawrence's face was a little displeased, Avery and the others could only helplessly.

"This operation of the Duchy of Alban was beyond our expectations, and it actually sent the remaining Thunder Knights to raid the vassals' ranks, bringing us huge losses!"

"My direct vassals totaled more than 3,700 people, but they were directly annihilated by the Thunder Knights."

"In addition, more than a dozen vassal nobles of the Charles family were killed by the Thunder Knights!"

The king's face was also a little ugly, and the army of more than 3,000 vassals was wiped out, which was also a heavy blow to the Jean family, which represented the death of hundreds of minor nobles.

As for Nemeo, he had not spoken a word since he entered the tent, his face was gloomy, and the king and the other counts thought that Nemio was heartbroken by the loss of more than a dozen vassals.

No one knows yet that not only did the Charles family lose more than a dozen vassals, but even the Grand Commander of his Knights died there, and it was probably not at the hands of the Thunder Knights.

The king said that these vassals of the House of Charles had died at the hands of the Knights of Thunder, but this was what Nemio said when he reported it.

"We will definitely seek revenge on the Thunder Knights for this blood feud, but there is one more important thing now, and that is that the fiancée of my eldest son Derek has been captured by the Thunder Knights!"

"If you want to rescue Caroline, I think you can only exchange hostages with the other party, so I want to exchange those noble heirs in your hands for Caroline!"

King Lawrence spoke very skillfully, he only said that Caroline was the fiancée of the eldest prince, and did not mention the lord of the north, because the lord of the north had a hot temper and had some contradictions with these counts, and if the lord of the north was mentioned, it was likely to backfire.

The king's words fell, and the counts below were all watching and watching, and did not immediately express their positions, as if they were waiting for something.

The king was not surprised, and continued after a pause.

"But don't worry, if your captives are really used in exchange for Derek's fiancée, I will reward you with gold or other equivalent items!"

Hostages were also considered spoils of war and were distributed by the king, but these hostages were not handed over to the king until the vassals had ended the war.

Because the ransom was different for each noble hostage, after the war, these earl families would also participate in the negotiation of the hostage exchange to ensure that they knew the amount of the hostage ransom.

"Yes, everything is up to Your Majesty!"

The king's words were so straightforward that none of the following counts would not lose face, and they all responded respectfully.

"Well, that's good, then let's talk about the future of the war......"

The king then began to discuss the plan of the battle with the counts, which lasted for an hour and a half, and after an hour and a half Alice returned to her camp.

"Nadine, is there any news of Gervais?"

When she returned to the camp, Alice immediately called Nadine, the Grand Commander of the Rose Knights, to inquire.

"My lord, there is no news of Viscount Gervais yet, I have sent people to search the route of each earl family, but they have found nothing!"

Nadine replied respectfully.

"Okay, leave a hundred people on these routes to continue looking for news of Gervais, and we'll be heading towards Wheat Leaf City tomorrow morning!"

Alice nodded slightly disappointedly, gave Nadine a command, and quickly entered her tent.

"Gervais, where the hell have you been! But don't let anything happen! ”

Alice took out the monocular that Gervais gave him, this monocular was the only official gift that Gervais gave her besides the Warcraft Spade, so Alice now attaches great importance to this monocular, and usually carries it with her.

……

Gervais didn't know what was going on in the camp of the Duchy of Jean, fifty miles away, and at this moment his party had reached less than five miles from Maiye City.

This is already the real hinterland of the enemy, and every ten minutes or so, Gervais and the others can encounter a wave of patrolling rangers.
