However, Gervais had never been to the Duchy of Alban, so it may be that he had some misunderstanding of the plain terrain of the Duchy of Alban.

Then he walked for half a day, but he couldn't see a large forest at all, some were just large and small rivers, and the thin groves were not even able to hide.

"It can't go on like this! Go deeper and deeper! Why didn't anyone tell me that there wasn't even a decent forest after the county of Golden Mail? ”

Although he has not encountered any danger at the moment, the further he goes, the more uneasy Gervais's heart is.

They had just seen a boundary monument again, the domain of King Hayden's immediate vassals, and from the name Gervais on the tablet it was the domain of a viscount, and they had already stepped into it.

As they continued to advance, the road became more and more flat, and it was not long before they could see the villages and towns.

Having penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland, Gervais was extremely reluctant to meet the people of the Duchy of Alban, because if he met one more person, his party would be in more danger.

But as the so-called fear of something, after Gervais and the others continued to advance for more than twenty minutes, they suddenly saw a figure appear on the horizon of the road on the left.

The terrain here was flat and open, and there were no buildings blocking it, so Gervais and the others found out in an instant.

But at the same time, this also means that the other party is likely to have discovered his group, and it is too late to hide now.

"Don't act rashly until a while, do what I command!"

If the pedestrian in the distance was an ordinary civilian, Gervais would have felt more at ease, but it was obviously a small army over there, so Gervais had to be careful.

Even if you can destroy them, as long as the other party misses one person, then your group will be finished.

……

"Have you heard, that Gervais exchanged the captured noble heir for tens of thousands of gold coins!"

"It's 16,000 gold coins, and the ransom for each noble heir is 800 gold coins!"

"Wow! Didn't they get rich? Sixteen,000 gold coins! In the past, the four or five earl families of the Southern Expedition fought together, and the harvest was not so much! ”

"Yes! Most of the loot used to be grain and population, 16,000 gold coins, which I have never seen in my life! ”

"Hehe, but although Viscount Gervais has obtained so many gold coins, I heard that the person has not come back yet! I don't know how! ”

"I think it's too bad to be lucky! Didn't they capture a few captives yesterday, and they said that the fire in that woods was deliberately set by them, just to hunt down Gervais! ”

"It's really possible, I heard that the fire burned the entire forest, but I didn't find Gervais, do you think Gervais will be burned to ashes by the fire!"

"It's a pity that the sixteen,000 gold coins!"

The large forces of the Duchy of Jean had advanced to three miles away from Maiye City, and after the large camp was stationed, the rangers on both sides were the first to melee together.

The Duchy of Jean, which had burned all night the night before and lit up half of the sky, was also very concerned, because they were worried that there was some conspiracy in it.

Therefore, after capturing several enemies, the unanimous answer was obtained through torture, that is, a viscount named Gervais exchanged twenty noble heirs for 16,000 gold coins, and then those nobles set fire to the woods where Gervais was hiding in order to hunt down Gervais.

But it turned out that after the fire burned the woods, they did not see Gervais and his party, and they did not recover the gold coins.

This news instantly made the southern expedition of the entire Duchy of Jean boil.

Some rejoiced, and some thundered.

Of course, the thunderous ones are the Larkin family, the Charles family.

Most of the nobles' heirs captured by Gervais were wool taken from them, and the tens of thousands of gold coins were originally theirs.

However, until this moment they were helpless, because the captives were not nobles, and belonged to the enemy camp, and could not be used as evidence against Gervais.

Unless the king wants to deal with Gervais himself, Gervais will still be able to get away with it.

As for the people who rejoice, they are naturally the people of the Jones family.

They also have a share of the sixteen,000 gold coins of Gervais, even if the final layer is not high, but with so many gold coins, the harvest is definitely several times that of previous years.

At this time, the camp of the Jones family was full of voices of small nobles pleading with the glory boss, hoping that Gervais would return soon.

They were no less concerned about Gervais's safety than Gandalf and Alice at this moment.

"Did Gervais tell you where he will go after he gets the ransom back? Or does he have any other plans? ”

In Alice's tent, Laurie and the others were called in, and Alice asked carefully, with a look of worry on her pretty face that could not be concealed.

In addition to this, Gervais's cheap daddy Gandalf was also on the sidelines.

"My lord, Lord Gervais just told us to hide in the dense forest for a few days, and make sure that you come out to meet you when you come! Didn't tell us anything else! ”

Laurie replied cautiously, keeping his head down and not daring to look directly at Alice, who was in their minds one of the most powerful men in the principality, and feared her more than he feared Gervais.

Because Gervais is still very generous to their subordinates in other periods of time unless he has something to do.

"Well, then you guys go out and rest first!"

Seeing that Laurie really didn't know what Gervais was going to do next, Alice nodded and motioned for them to leave.

"My lord, those captives said that they didn't catch Gervais, then Gervais must have gone hiding somewhere, you don't have to be so bold!"

"And the ruins of the burned woods, Baron Bertram and I have both gone to check, and there is nothing abnormal, indicating that Gervais had already evacuated the woods when the fire started."

Gandalf stood aside, and when he saw that Alice was so worried about Gervais, he already had a plan in his heart, wondering if his little Gervais was really favored by the Earl.

After all, Gervais is also very good now!

If Gervais could indeed have an heir to Alice in the future, Gandalf would be thrilled just thinking about it.

So at this time, he held back his worries and began to comfort Alice.

"Well, I know, Gervais will be fine! Thank you, Baron Gandalf! ”

In the face of Gandalf's persuasion, Alice thanked him very politely.

"You're welcome, my lord, then I'll go first, and then take someone around the neighborhood to see if there is any trace of Gervais."

"Hmm!"

When Gandalf was gone, the tent was empty, and Alice picked up the monocular she had been holding at hand, stunned.

"Gervais, you must come back safely!"

……

Gervais was unaware of what was happening in the rear, and he was now trying his best to deal with the danger that might arise in front of him.

"Hello! Your Excellency, which family do you belong to? ”

It took more than ten minutes from the time both sides discovered each other's existence to the aggregation of each other.

In the process, Gervais had already counted the opposing team, and there were more than ninety people in total.

Among them were more than a dozen cavalrymen, plus more than thirty infantrymen, the rest were dressed as serfs and servants, and in addition to this, the team also had more than a dozen wagons full of debts, and the whole team was filled with colorful flags symbolizing nobility, and Gervais knew by the flags that this was not a caravan, but a team of minor nobles.

Gervais didn't know the pattern on the other party's flag, and he didn't know which family they belonged to, but it didn't matter, Gervais could ask.

So, Gervais made a preemptive move, smiled as soon as he met the other party, and went up to inquire enthusiastically.

"Hello Your Excellency, we belong to the Radson family! My name is Tred Radson, and you're going to the royal city too? ”

The leader of the other party is a young man in his early twenties, who is stout and sturdy, but his face is honest and honest.

"Yes, we are also going to the royal capital!"

In fact, in addition to green tea likes to find honest people, in fact, Gervais also likes honest people, such as the one in front of him.
