Chapter 311: Soldiers approach the city
"Boss, Binhai Town is just ahead. Do you want me to take a few brothers there to take a look at the situation, so as not to be discovered by the guards in the castle?"
Less than a few hundred meters outside the intersection of the town, all the pirates were approaching the roadside. Benny, Wright and others in front did not know that they had been discovered by Abi, and they were still thinking of sneaking into the town.
and castle.
"That's fine, Benny. If you do a good job this time, I'll count it as your first achievement, and you'll get gold coins, women, and status!"
Wright nodded and agreed to Benny's proposal. It would be the best thing to capture the castle in a sneak attack. As long as the castle is captured, Gervais will definitely be unable to fly.
Later, Wright ordered more than a dozen pirates and said: "You guys follow Benny into the town, be smart and don't show your face!"
"It's the boss, don't worry! Hehe!"
The pirates have now seen the castle in the distance. They are all excited when they think that they and others can rob a castle one day. Just thinking about those maids with smooth skin, clean and beautiful skin makes them impatient.
Soon, Lanni led more than a dozen people and hid their weapons in wide gowns and walked toward the town. However, when they arrived at Binhai Town, they found that there was not a single person on the long street.
"Benny, something is wrong. Why is there no one in such a big town?"
A slovenly pirate asked Lanny.
"The population of this Storm Territory is only over 2,000. It looked almost the same before. Let's go in and take a look first!"
Although Benny also felt that being quiet was a bit too much, it was often like this in the Storm Territory before. It was difficult to see anyone on the street and he didn't dare to determine what was going on.
…
"Damn it, you should have discovered us. Look, the castle door over there has been closed, and there are many people above looking at us!"
Benny and the others carefully walked along the avenue through half of the town, but still did not find a single figure. At this time, everyone noticed something strange and looked towards the castle. They saw that the castle gate had been closed and there were still people standing on the wall.
many people.
"Let's go back and report to the boss!"
Benny and the others had no choice but to run back to Wright in despair.
…
"What's going on? Have we been discovered?"
When Wright heard the reports from Benny and others, he also sensed that something was wrong. He just hoped that Gervais was not in the castle, otherwise today would be in vain.
"Let's go, since we might be discovered by them, we don't need to hide anymore. Let's go to the town to check, and then go see if there are any of our people outside the castle."
"If there is, it means that Gervais has hid back in the castle. If we don't catch Gervais first, it will be useless even if the castle is closed by then."
Wright roared, and all the pirates stood up again, and nearly 900 people poured into Binhai Town in a dark crowd.
This time the pirates no longer concealed their momentum, all pirates dispersed and began to search the town.
"The boss has no one!"
"Boss, we don't have anyone here either!"
Hundreds of pirates quickly searched the coastal town, but found no one. They all returned to the main street to report to Wright.
"But boss, there is no one in the house, but we found that there is a kind of plant planted in their yards, and there are many of them. Do you think it is a grape tree?"
The search of these pirates was not fruitless. They knew about the mission before they landed. Wright told them that the storm leader has a kind of fruit that can brew golden wine. Such vines are worth several gold coins when taken outside.
trees, so these pirates paid attention to the fruit trees.
Although there were no grapes on the vines, every household was planting grape vines, and they were more diligent than planting wheat. The pirates had already made a guess in their minds.
"Oh? Take me to see it!"
Wright was also stunned. Were the vines planted among the serfs with such great fanfare? They shouldn't all be taken into the castle or built into a manor for planting.
Wright soon went to the small courtyards of those houses to check, and sure enough he saw trees planted in every house.
"Boss, these trees used to be wild fruits on the roadside. I often ate them. Now they have been transplanted and carefully planted by these serfs. These must be grapevines!"
Benny had lived in Stormland for two years, and he immediately recognized the vines as the wild fruits that used to be on the roadside.
"Haha! We've made a fortune! Boss, should we start digging now?"
After hearing Benny's words, the pirates' eyes shone with stars. Each of these vines represented a few golden coins. Everyone was burning in their hearts and wanted to dig up these vines immediately.
There are hundreds of families living in this town, and there are at least thousands of vines. While thinking about a lot of gold coins, some pirates are already preparing to start digging...
"If we don't dig now, let's go find Viscount Gervais first. It won't be too late to dig after we finish the business!"
Wright immediately stopped his men's actions. Now he asked these people to dig up the vines. Then when they fight, they may only be thinking about these vines and how to fight Gervais.
Wright was once a noble lord, so he certainly knew how to lead troops.
"Let's go, we can't delay it any longer! Since the town is safe, let's go to the castle to see if there are any of our people!"
Wright gave the order. Although the pirates were eager for these vines, due to Wright's power, everyone still obeyed the order and rushed towards the castle with weapons in hand.
…
Bernard, Thomas and others were standing on the city wall, watching every move of the pirates in the town.
At this moment, there are seven or eight male servants and more than 30 strong slaves standing on the city wall. These male servants and slaves have been regarded as guards by Zero Hour, and weapons have been issued to them. They were all captured by Gervais before.
and spare weapons kept in the castle.
The slaves all had longbows in their hands, while the male servants held long swords. Although neither the male servants nor the slaves had ever used these weapons, it did not prevent them from standing on them and shooting at random to intimidate the enemy.
"There are at least eight or nine hundred people. How come there are so many pirates? Is Lord Gervais in danger?"
When Thomas saw the dark pirates coming from the direction of the town, his face was a little ugly and he murmured.
"There must be danger. There are several titled knights inside, and they are not weak at all!"
Bernard had a very good ear and heard Thomas' murmur, so he frowned and answered.
"Father, can you tell?"
Alec suddenly became curious.
"Oh, take a closer look at the ones walking at the front. What are they wearing? They are all armor. Can ordinary people wear such heavy armor and move freely?"
Bernard knew that he had let something slip just now, but he did not panic. Instead, he said something to Alec angrily.
"Bernard Blacksmith is right. The leading pirates are indeed not weak, and four of them are at least Bronze Peak Knights or Silver Knights!"
At this time, Brian added, he had already used his senses to check, and found that the aura of several pirates over there was much stronger than his own, an intermediate bronze knight.
Now several people nearby are old acquaintances, and Gervais has asked him to strengthen the inscriptions several times. His identity as Brian as an alchemist is semi-public. Except for the serfs, everyone like Bernard and Thomas know it.
So he stopped hiding it.
"Then what should we do? Lord Gervais is still at the beach! Will it be dangerous if we meet him later?"
"Yes! Your Excellency will be in danger! No, I'm going to inform your Excellency and ask him not to come back. Butler Thomas, give me a rope. Before the pirates surround the castle, I'll go down now and inform Gwei.
Mr. Si."
Hearing Brian's more certain words, Thomas and Alec were both shocked and extremely anxious.
Gervais is the lord they are loyal to, and everything they have now is also based on Gervais.
Alec is Gervais' personal bodyguard. When he first joined the Guards, Gervais stated that the bodyguard was established specifically to protect his safety.
