Chapter 428: The Fall of Wheat Leaf City (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"What did you do?"
The Treds were already intrigued, even though they scolded Gervais for being shameless.
But in their hearts, they were envious, jealous, and hateful, and they all complained about why such a good thing didn't happen to them.
"Gervais exchanged these twenty noble heirs for sixteen thousand gold coins in Maiye City! And in the end, he escaped! ”
In the expectant eyes of Tred, Anliss finally spoke
"What, sixteen thousand gold coins, my goodness! With so many gold coins put together, what the hell does it look like! ”
Traymond and the others were stunned when they heard this, and their minds kept imagining the scene of tens of thousands of gold coins in front of them, and their saliva was about to flow out.
"It's a pity! Let this shameless Gervais escape! ”
Several people were jealous for a while, but it was a pity that Gervais retreated.
"Hehe, I heard that although this Gervais escaped, he did not return to the team of the Duchy of Jean, and I heard that Gervais is probably still hiding in the territory of our Duchy of Alban, maybe it is near our side!"
Anlis saw the stunned appearance of a few people, so there was no need to joke.
"Really? Ha ha! If we can catch Gervais, we'll be rich! ”
"Yes! At that time, we can also take at least three layers of those gold coins, which are thousands of gold coins! ”
Although the Tres and the others also knew that Anlis's last sentence was a joke, they still yearned for a while, and only Gervais twitched the corners of his mouth alone.
"You guessed it right! I'm right in front of you! ”
The next few noble heirs continued to talk about some interesting things, most of which were Anliss basking about his superiority.
However, compared to the hillbillies like Terred, Anlis's knowledge is much more extensive, so several people are happy to let Anlis tell some interesting stories.
……
It's night, and the moon is shining.
"You have to prepare to go back, the further you go to the hinterland of the Duchy of Alban, the more you will meet the ranks of minor nobles, and the greater the risk of exposure."
Having received that the army of the Duchy of Jean had arrived at the city of Maiye, Gervais was ready to return.
It was already the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Tred and the others had already rested, and Gervais was ready to leave directly.
The entrance to the inn was guarded by more than twenty of these noble heirs, so Gervais had to leave through the rooftop.
With a little vindictiveness, Gervais climbed directly through the window to the roof of the hotel, and then quietly walked towards the camp where Ike and the others were stationed.
The team of several aristocratic youths put together more than 600 people, and naturally it was impossible to bring all of them into the town to station, so the camps were placed in the open spaces on both sides of the intersection of the town.
In order to facilitate the evacuation of his own people, Gervais also deliberately separated from the camp of Tred and the others by more than a hundred meters.
"My lord! You're here! ”
"Well, have you packed up?"
"Everything is packed!"
"Then we'll go now!"
When they set up camp, Ike and the others had already set up their tents, but they were ready to leave at the moment, but they did not put the tents away, just as an obstacle to block the view of other camps.
As for whether they will be discovered by Tred tomorrow, Gervais doesn't care anymore.
If you want to find them, you can only find them tomorrow morning, and by then you and the others have already run seventy or eighty miles, and it is absolutely impossible to catch up with your group.
Then, Gervais and his subordinates went around the main road from the side, and then rushed towards the direction of Wheat Yee City.
Gervais originally thought that he would return to the Duchy of Jean with such a dangerous force, but he didn't know if he had made a lot of money this time, and he couldn't even look at the glory boss.
Gervais and the others had only been traveling for more than ten minutes, but they suddenly saw a sparkling torch rising on the horizon in front of them, like a winding fire dragon, stretching for several kilometers, and this huge team was walking towards them.
"How can there be such a large team, could it be that they have retired from Wheat Leaf City? No way! It hasn't been long since the team of the Duchy of Jean arrived in Maiye City, how could it be possible to break the city! ”
When he saw the huge team, Gervais was shocked, but it was good that they did not march with torches, otherwise they would have been noticed by the other party.
"Everyone go back the way they came, let's go back to the camp and act when the time comes!"
The team in front of him was getting closer and closer, although he was a little hesitant to hide on the side of the road and wait for the team to pass.
But in the end, Gervais gave up.
Not to mention that there is no place for more than 70 people to take refuge in this vicinity.
It was that once the team in front arrived in the town, Tred and the others noticed their situation and thought of something, and they still couldn't run away at that time.
Therefore, it is better to go back and continue to disguise and act when the opportunity arises in the future.
Soon, Gervais and his party returned to the town, and Gervais quietly returned to his room.
After more than twenty minutes, the town was noisy, and these aristocratic young men in the inn also received reports from their subordinates.
Gervais was immediately woken up by Tred's and the others, and they rushed out of the town together.
When the group arrived outside the town, the huge team had already arrived in the town.
When Gervais saw the team's situation, he knew his guess might well come true.
These people really retired from the county of Golden Wheat because many of the banners in the ranks belonged to the Golden Wheat family, and Gervais had seen them when he first arrived in Wheat Leaf City.
"It's the Marquis of Loss!"
After the forward of this team walked by, a middle-aged man in the rear was amazingly imposing, and slowly walked slowly surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.
And behind him there was a luxurious carriage following, and it was not known who was sitting inside.
When Enris, the most knowledgeable of Gervais and the others, saw this person, he immediately exclaimed his identity in a low voice.
"Marquis of Loss!"
Gervais thought in his heart, this is the commander of White Rock City, who has the cultivation of a golden peak knight, and the brother of King Hayden!
"I've seen Lord Lossher!"
When Losse rode up to Gervais, Anlis was the first to salute him.
Tred slowed down for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted, Gervais is now playing Harry, and of course he can only salute in the same way as them.
"Well, which family are you from, you actually recognize me!"
Seeing that Anlis could accurately call out his name, Loster couldn't help but look at Anlis and asked casually.
"Lord Hui, I am from the Wells family, and my uncle serves as His Majesty's financial officer in the royal city!"
Anliss replied very respectfully.
"Oh, Andrew is your uncle!"
Loster nodded, but Andrew was nothing to him, let alone his nephew.
So he just nodded flatly, and then looked at the team of Gervais and his group, so he continued to say indifferently.
"Maiye City has fallen, the team of the Duchy of Jean will be coming soon, you need to speed up when you go to the royal city, follow us!"
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Lossher! ”
Although several aristocratic young men who heard the news were shocked, they didn't dare to make a mistake in the face of Lost, and they all suppressed the turmoil in their hearts and honestly thanked them.
Next, the team of Gervais and the others began to assemble again, following Lost's team of more than 3,000 people to continue to advance.
Because the Duchy of Jean's troops were in close pursuit, they had to travel day and night, and it was not until the second half of the night that the team stopped for a short rest.
In fact, Gervais wanted to take the opportunity to sneak away and stop where he was waiting for the team of the Duchy of Jean, but unfortunately there were many rangers wandering around in front of and behind this team, and Gervais could not quietly break away from the team.
What's more, there are still two golden knights in the team, and Gervais does not dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, the only thing that relieved Gervais was that he didn't see familiar faces on this team, such as Babette, Phoenix and others, otherwise he would probably be exposed.
