Chapter 424: Under Siege

"Do you know which direction that Gervais is running in?"

As soon as the barons rescued their heirs, they began to inquire.

They were so angry, they were originally rescued by Gervais, not only was it spicy enough, but the 800 gold coins were really taken away by Gervais.

"Father, we are blindfolded, and we don't know where Gervais has fled! Forget it! Let's go back to the city first! ”

After Ike left, Gervais brought here blindfolded with a few of his subordinates, so they didn't know where they were, and they couldn't even tell which direction Gervais and the others were running.

"How can this work, that's tens of thousands of gold coins! We must chase it back, the way back to him has been blocked by us, and he will definitely not be able to run! ”

Where were the barons willing to let Gervais go, eight hundred gold coins was a wealth they had been accumulating for years.

When Barbett heard his father's words, they all rolled their eyes, very worried.

If Gervais hadn't shown his might in front of them that night, cutting the Silver Knight like a melon, they might have been more than happy to have their father help find a place by now.

But since they knew that Gervais was a murderous figure with the strength of a golden knight, they didn't dare!

In this case, if you let your father go to find Gervais, wouldn't you let them go to death?

As for telling his father the truth, several of them were forced by Gervais to swear a poisonous oath to the glory boss.

For example, if you break your oath, then marry a wife who is ugly to the sky, have a child and will not be vindictive, go out and meet a monster, and be at home with trouble.

Of course, in addition to this vicious oath, Gervais also had another threatening word, that is, if these people dared to tell him about it, then let him know about it later, and come back to feed them the 'Love Words of the Moon', and lock them up in a small room for a day and a night after taking the 'Love Words of the Moon'.

At the thought of this threatening word, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

The name of this 'love story of the moon' is good, but the effect is a bit obscene, it is something that nobles only use when flirting with their lovers, the medicine is strong, and there are no side effects.

This thing is used between male and female lovers, which complements each other, hello and me!

But if it is used on two men, it is a chrysanthemum that is full of wounds.

Therefore, Barbett and the others are ready to keep their mouths shut, they don't think that Gervais's strength will not be able to find their own people to retaliate in the future.

In the end, Babette and others persuaded their father to go back on the grounds that they were unwell.

However, the barons did not go to hunt for Gervais themselves, but the army of Maye City began to search the nearby dense forest, so as not to find Gervais before the army of the Duchy of Jean arrived.

……

After Gervais and the others got the gold coins, they confirmed the approximate amount and authenticity, and immediately evacuated with the gold coins.

This trading location was six or seven miles away from the place where he had previously hidden the team, so seeing that no one was chasing after him, Gervais was temporarily relieved.

When he returned to the camp, Gervais opened boxes of gold coins and placed them in front of him, feeling like his titanium eyes were going to be blinded.

"It's a pity that Caroline was sent to the royal capital!"

Gervais reached out and scooped through several chests full of gold coins, feeling the weight of the coins.

However, he immediately remembered the bumpy Caroline, and Gwiston was a little distracted, so he reluctantly closed the wooden box.

With Gervais's current strength, as well as three or two cats and dogs under him, he can't go to King Hayden City at all, not to mention that even if he goes, it won't be enough for the Duchy of Alban.

"Your Excellency!"

Just then, Alec came back from the forest ahead with a companion!

"Well, how's it going!"

"My lord, as you expected, after those barons returned, a team of more than a thousand people immediately came out of the city and began to search for the dense forest, but they are still searching in the place where you just exchanged hostages!"

Alec was sent by Gervais to monitor the situation in Wheat Leaf City outside the woods, and after confirming the situation, he immediately returned to report to Gervais.

"Oh, it shouldn't matter, this dense forest is not small, and it will take two or three days for a team of thousands of people to search this forest, which is enough for us to hide from them!"

Gervais had already thought about it before he hid in the jungle, and after receiving the ransom, he hid here, waiting for the arrival of the army of the Duchy of Jean.

Calculate the time, their cheap wife should arrive in two days after tomorrow, and they will be safe by then.

Next, Gervais and his party hid in the woods, keeping an eye on the movements of the army in Wheat Leaf City, and there were no surprises until dark.

"Haha! If you want to find me, how is this possible, we have watched a lot of police movies, and when my cheap wife comes, I can go back to the City of Glory to sleep! ”

Seeing that it was already dark and the enemy had suspended their search, Gervais laughed and slipped into his tent to hide from the mosquito bites.

As for his subordinates, they can only apply some mosquito repellent plant juice on the top of the open air.

……

"Haven't you found it yet?"

"What can I do about this, the news from the rangers that the main force of the Duchy of Jean has reached fifty miles away, and it should arrive at the bottom of Maiye City tomorrow evening at the latest, and it will be difficult to capture Gervais by then!"

"Alas! It's a pity that we were careless, and this Gervais is so shameless and cunning that he has already thought of plotting against us! ”

"Yes! Not only could we keep our gold coins, but we could also catch him and vent his evil spirits. ”

"No! We can't just let him go! ”

Suddenly, the more a baron thought about it, the more angry he slapped the table and stood up.

Twenty barons were gathering to discuss how to capture Gervais.

But time was running out, and the enemy was approaching, so they couldn't send more men to hunt down Gervais in the woods.

Otherwise, as long as five or six thousand people were sent, Gervais's traces could be found in one day.

"Baron Turney, is there anything you can do?"

When the barons saw Turney's voice, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.

"Even if the gold can't be recovered, we can't let Gervais go so easily!"

When Turney saw everyone's eyes, he didn't panic, he already had an idea in his heart.

So he continued: "So we might as well set fire to the dense forest outside the city, if Gervais doesn't escape, then he can only be burned alive in the dense forest!" ”

"But if he escapes! We have a good chance of catching him, and the Duchy of Jean's troops will arrive as early as tomorrow evening, so we'll have plenty of time to hunt down Gervais! As long as we block his way back, he won't be able to fly! ”

"That's right! It's autumn, it's dry, and you can burn down that dense forest overnight! ”

"Haha! We burned the woods with a fire, and see how he hid! ”

The barons' eyes lit up when they heard Turney's suggestion, and it was a very feasible solution.

As for the protection of forest resources, don't make a fuss! This world is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many other forests, but there are countless forests, and people are too late to worry about it, and want to open up more forests for cultivation.

"Without further ado, then let's go to the Earl's place and report it, and immediately send someone to set fire to the forest!"

Next, the barons quickly began to act, preparing to set fire to the woods and force Gervais out!
