Chapter 425: Into the Hinterland (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
When the barons of Mayleaf City couldn't sleep at night, thinking of a way to catch Gervais, Gervais had already fallen asleep.
In the dream, Gervais took his cheap wife's fat jade muscle arm and walked on the prairie, and as he walked, Gervais grabbed the slender waist of the cheap wife, and then kissed the cheap wife's lips.
After a romantic French kiss, Gervais opened his eyes contentedly.
"Damn, why is Caroline!"
I don't know when, the delicate woman in Gervais's arms has become Caroline.
"Caroline is Caroline, I'll kiss you!"
Although the person in his arms changed from a cheap wife to Caroline, Gervais didn't care, and continued to kiss with his head covered.
"My lord! My lord! ”
“???”
Just as Gervais stopped the delicate body in his arms and wanted to make further moves, he seemed to hear someone calling to him in a daze, so Gervais stared towards him.
This look startled Gervais, and he found that the person he had been holding and gnawing on for a long time had turned into Ike.
"Damn,!"
Gervais threw a punch down, sending Ike flying in the air.
At the same time, Gervais, who was in a state of panic outside the dream, suddenly woke up from his bed.
"Scared the hell out of me! It turned out to be a dream! ”
Gervais looked at his surroundings and realized that everything turned out to be a dream, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and settled down.
"My lord! My lord! Wake up! ”
"What's it called, I don't let you dream in the middle of the night!"
Hearing Ike's shouts again, Gervais reluctantly got up and walked out of the tent.
"Adult ......"
When Ike saw Gervais coming out, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, he always felt cold on his back, and the adult didn't seem to be in a good mood, probably because he woke the adult up in the middle of the night.
"Say it! What's up? ”
Gervais glared at Ike fiercely, and the guy almost scared him out of a heart attack.
However, seeing that Ike's tone was a little anxious, something must have happened.
"My lord, the person in charge of guarding the edge of the woods just now came back to report that the army of Wheat Leaf City is setting fire everywhere and wants to burn down this forest!"
Ike replied cautiously.
"What! Burning the forest? ”
Gervais was shocked, he really didn't expect this.
It was autumn, the ground was full of yellow leaves, and the whole forest was very dry, and if this fire was lit, the whole forest would be burned before dawn by the night wind.
"Yes, my lord! Several woods have already been set on fire, and they continue to set fires! ”
"Quick, let's gather everyone, bring our things and we're ready to retreat!"
Gervais immediately ordered.
Before the fire has risen, it is the right choice to run away immediately.
If they wait for the fire to burn, even if they can't burn themselves for a while, the smoke can choke them to death, and it is likely to cause them to get lost.
"Where to flee, the road back to the original road has been blocked during the day, and now that they have thought of setting fire to the woods, it must be even more strictly guarded, so the road back must be dangerous, if I go, I will fall into the net!"
Although Gervais still has a black kiwifruit that can skyrocket his strength by 50 times, there are two golden knights in Maiye City, and he will only have an hour at that time, and he will definitely not be able to escape.
What's more, these subordinates and gold coins of their own can't escape.
Thinking about it, Gervais couldn't help but look to the south, that direction was to the rear of the Duchy of Alban, and now, maybe only the blockade in this direction was weaker.
After all, it was the hinterland of the people, and no one would have thought that Gervais would have the courage to go that way.
"His grandmother has a leg, the most important thing is to escape from this woods first, it's a big deal to find a place to shelter from the limelight in the hinterland of the Duchy of Alban, and then run back when the war breaks out here!"
Gervais pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
"Listen, everyone, put on the armor of the Duchy of Alban, and we head south!"
Next, Gervais led his men to the south.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that the enemy would force him out by setting fire to the forest, after all, such a large forest, if he set it on fire, he would have to sit in prison in his previous life.
……
Although they were forced to move places, fortunately they discovered the enemy's movements early, and the enemy did not expect Gervais to dare to go south, and a few hours later Gervais's team appeared on the road south to the heart of the Duchy of Alban.
Walking on the avenue, Gervais did not let his subordinates light torches, and the horses' hooves were also covered with thick cloths, and the speed all the way was considered to be dangerous.
Although they also bumped into two groups of patrolling rangers on the way, they were both detected in advance by Gervais's super hearing, and then dodged them.
Gervais did not dare to stop, lest the barons would follow the road after burning the woods without discovering their traces, so he marched along the road all night.
All of them had horses and carriages to ride, so they drove out seventy or eighty miles in one night.
……
"My lord, there is a manor five miles ahead, but there seems to be no one inside!"
When the sky gradually brightened and the sun rose in the east, Gervais and his party hid in the weeds on the side of the road to rest for a while, and sent Ike and others to explore the road ahead.
At this time, Ike and the others had already returned from the investigation and were reporting the situation ahead to Gervais.
"Very well, then let's go to that manor and fix it now!"
Gervais immediately ordered the team to rush to the manor.
The group had been on the road all night, tired and hungry, so Gervais was ready to go there and get the team to recuperate before continuing on his way.
Gervais and the others have not yet escaped the range of the county of Golden Wheat and there are no suitable woods for them to hide, so Gervais is not prepared to stay here for too long, otherwise as long as their whereabouts are discovered, their group will really be unable to fly.
Soon, Gervais and his party came to the manor that Ike said, this manor is not dilapidated and ownerless, although there is no one in the manor, and the valuable things have been removed, but the inside is clean and tidy, and it is obvious that the people in this manor have only been gone for a day or two.
Gervais estimated that they had probably taken refuge in the city of Wheat Yee, and the army had crossed the border, and only inside the city walls was relatively safe.
Gervais and the others rested in the manor for a morning before continuing on their way after lunch.
The manor was not safe, for Gervais had seen three waves of rangers patrolling the road outside while they were resting in the manor.
I just don't know if it's a regular patrol, or if it's a purposeful search for them in this direction.
……
Gervais and his party continued on their way, and in this way, after two hours, they finally reached the border of the county of Golden Mai.
Looking at the boundary stone monument in front of him, Gervais was a little helpless, as long as they crossed the buffer zone two kilometers ahead, they would enter the direct territory of King Hayden.
This was the first time that the Duchy of Gien had penetrated into the direct territory of the King of the Duchy of Alban.
In previous years, the farthest place of the southern expedition to the Duchy of Jean was also the soldiers coming to Maiye City, but in previous years, the soldiers came to Maiye City only to deter the people in Maiye City, so that they did not dare to act rashly, and did not start the siege.
"Let's go! I'll take you to see what the hinterland of the Duchy of Alban looks like! ”
In the end, Gervais still waved his hand and chose to move on, and now that he was out of the confines of the county of Golden Mail, as long as he could find a hidden place to hide, then they would be safe.
