Chapter 332 Going to sea

After lunch in the afternoon, Gervais gathered all the guards in his territory, and Gandalf and Nathan were also present.

The reason why Gandalf and Nathan did not follow Alice back to the territory today was because they learned about Gervais's revenge plan.

When Gandalf heard about Gervase's revenge plan, Gandalf immediately slapped the table and said: Little Gervase, father supports you! Obviously, Gandalf was worried that the Larkin family wanted to murder his most promising young son.

I also hate it to the core.



On this afternoon's trip, Gervais was not planning to launch a revenge plan immediately, but was going to inspect the situation at the beach.

Yesterday afternoon, Nathan conducted individual interrogations on the captured pirates in accordance with Gervais's order. According to the information obtained from the pirates, a total of 15 ships came this time.

However, when they arrived at the mouth of the Dry Leaf River, after putting the pirates off the ship according to Wright's order, the other ten ships separated just as they were about to arrive at the seaside mountain village. Their whereabouts are unknown. It is estimated that only a few titled knights are there.

Know.

The five pirate ships followed Wright's order and came outside the seaside mountain village to attract attention.

Of course, interrogation is not useless information. One of the pirates who was the captain of the pirate group confessed that when they came, they saw a small island far away on the beach. If those pirate ships had not left, then

It is possible that he went to that small island to dock and wait.

After all, the sea-going ships in this world are not as advanced as in the previous life, and it is impossible to anchor and stabilize the ship without finding a place with shallow water to dock. Therefore, Gervais's main target today is the small island.



Soon Gervais and his party arrived at the beach. When they arrived at the beach, the guards and several captains of the Rose Knights who were responsible for the reception were already waiting here. After seeing Gervais, they immediately came to Gervais.

Come forward and say hello.

"Lord Gervais!"

"grown ups!"

These soldiers of the Knights of the Rose were not brought back by Alice, but they were intentionally left by Alice for Gervais. Alice also learned about Gervais's revenge plan last night, although she was unable to participate in person.

However, he still left these fifty people with Gervais as a way of expressing his feelings. Among these 50 soldiers of the Rose Knights, there are also 5 bronze knights. It can be said that their combat power is absolutely extraordinary.

"Well, are the water and food ready?"

Gervais dismounted, nodded to several captains of the Rose Knights, then looked at his guards and asked.

"Sir, we are ready. Butler Thomas arranged for the villagers to help us carry it onto the boat last night. We can set off at any time now!"

The guard quickly replied.

"Very good! Everyone, let's go!"

Following Gervais's order, all the soldiers came to the beach.

Because the water near the beach is too shallow, ships cannot dock, so private boats are used to transfer people who board the ship.

Each pirate ship has two small boats, and these small boats can carry about 10 people at a time.

Gervais needed to divide the two hundred people into four groups to board the ship. The first two groups to board the ship were slave soldiers and several knights of the Order of the Rose. The pirate prisoners were arranged to board the ship in the middle. Although these

The pirates seemed very honest now, but Gervais did not dare to take it lightly, lest these people escape or cause trouble.

As long as they board the ship and are suppressed by the title knights, no one will cause any trouble.

“We need to build a simple pier on the beach in the future!”

It took more than half an hour for nearly two hundred people to board the ship, and this was despite having prepared supplies in advance!

Sitting on the boat, Gervais took a look at the terrain around the coast. His own coast could be considered a good harbor, as it happened to have a concave shape.

Moreover, the sea water is relatively deep at the rocky coast on the left. As long as a smooth road is opened there and a simple wooden bridge tens of meters long is built in the sea, ships like ours can dock.

A few minutes later, Gervais finally boarded a wooden ship in this world for the first time, which made Gervais feel extremely novel.

In previous lives, the most common sight of such ships was Western medieval movies. The hull was oval and the deck was covered with strong and thick hemp ropes.

"Who among you is at the helm?"

After Gervais briefly looked at the deck of the ship, he asked loudly to the ten pirates in front of him.

"Big... Sir! It's the villain! The villain used to be in charge of steering the ship!"

A tall and thin pirate in ragged clothes answered timidly.

"May I have your name?"

"Sir! The villain's name is Li'er, Li'er Xianyu! It was the villain and the soldier of the master who told the traces of the island yesterday."

"Oh, it's you! Lear, let's sail! First sail along the coast of the Storm Territory. If you don't find anything, go to the island you mentioned!"

Gervais wanted to laugh a little, but he held it back in the end. He was really a master of naming. He could even use Salted Fish as his surname.

"You'd better be honest with me and don't play tricks! Otherwise, you will never want to know what the consequences will be!"

"If you behave well during this period, you may be spared the death penalty."

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I'm an adult, I will do my best and I will be loyal to you in the future!"

The reason why Lille and the others became pirates was because of Wright's coercion. Now that they can save their lives and live on land again, they certainly don't want to lose this opportunity.

The life of a pirate is actually not as good as the legend says, especially for low-level pirates like them. If it were not for the support of the Larkin family, they would probably be no different from the refugees.

"Raise the sail!"

As Lear came to the rudder at the stern of the ship, with a shout, the pirates responsible for other tasks immediately began to operate on the deck neatly. When the sails were opened, the ship began to move slowly in the sea breeze.

Although these pirates are despicable and deserve to be killed, they have been making a living at sea all year round, and their sailing skills are not bad. Under their control, the ship gradually speeds up and heads towards the sea.

Gervais took advantage of this time and first went around the captain's cabin. He was a little disappointed. It was not as unique as what he saw in the movie.

The captain's cabin of this pirate ship is just a simple small room. Because the room has been cleaned up in advance, there is no strange smell.

There is a small bed and a table inside, and the windows are also made of wood. They can be pushed up and supported by wooden sticks to let in light.

There is a crooked nautical chart on the table, but it is more accurate to say that it is a simple topographic map than a nautical chart.

Most of the charts on this chart are the outline of the land and the distribution of forces. There are only a few black spots representing pirates on the sea, making the land much more detailed than the sea.

As for more information overseas, it is completely blank. It is estimated that even these pirates have never been to far seas.

After coming out of the captain's cabin disappointed, Gervais stood directly on the deck. Because it had entered autumn, the sun was no longer harsh, but the gentle sea breeze made people cool.

As the ship sailed along the coastline, Gervais realized why Wright and others chose to land at the edge of the Dead Leaf River.

Because from the perspective of Gervais, most of the seaside edges of the Storm Territory are rocky cliffs, which are not suitable for landing on the shore at all. Only when they reach the vicinity of the Dry Leaf River, the terrain becomes gentle and a large beach appears.

This is probably the result of the Dry Leaf River, which created a large quagmire at the mouth of the sea.

After circling the seaside and finding nothing, Gervais gave the order again and asked Lear to drive the ship towards the pirate he mentioned.

There are only two possibilities now, either the other pirate ships noticed that the situation was not good and sailed back to the pirates' lair regardless of Wright and others.

Another situation is that these pirates are still waiting on that island.



"There is an island ahead."

The ship turned back toward the seaside mountain village, and then gradually sailed away from the coast. After more than an hour of high-speed sailing, the pirate responsible for observing on the mast shouted loudly.

"Sir, that is the only island we found on your side when we sailed here!"

Lear said to Gervais carefully while controlling the rudder.

Gervais immediately looked forward, and sure enough he saw an island in the distance. The island was covered in green, and it was obviously an island with dense forests.

"Inform the ships behind to prepare for battle!"

Although Gervais was not sure whether the remaining pirates were on the island, he gave the order first.
