Gervais suddenly stood up and burst into laughter.

Ike and others were all startled, and they didn't understand why their master, who was fine just a second ago, suddenly laughed.

Only then did Gervais realize that he was a little too excited, and immediately coughed twice.

"It's okay, you continue cooking, sir, I just thought of some interesting things!"

After appeasing Ike and others, Gervais continued to sit aside, constantly thinking about the feasibility of the idea he just had and how to proceed.

After about twenty minutes, the Knights of the Rose captured most of the serfs. Only a few serfs got into the bushes or swam to the other side and slipped through the net.

But it doesn't matter. Gervais is not worried about these people going back to report the news. There is only one big city, White Rock City, within a few hundred miles, and other noble territories wish to stay far away from the border of the Principality of Jean.

Moreover, as Baiyan City is surrounded on three sides today, the ranger activity space in Baiyan City will be compressed to the limit in the next few days, and the situation like yesterday and today will not happen.

"Which one of you is in charge!"

About one hundred and thirty serfs were gathered back, and they were all escorted to the camp. Gervais looked around and asked.

"Sir, spare my life. I am the supervisor here, but we are just ordinary serfs, not soldiers. Please don't kill us!"

A tall and thin serf walked out of the crowd cringingly. Perhaps he knew that the war between nobles would not kill them serf captives, so he was calm and begged Gervais for mercy clearly.

"Oh, tell me who asked you to build this dam and what is its use?"

"Sir, we sneaked out from Baiyan City last night. We were ordered by the superiors to build a dam here. When you attack Baiyan City in a few days, we will destroy the dam and release the water!

"

This serf supervisor doesn't care who wins or loses in this war. Anyway, they are all serfs. It doesn't matter whether they work as serfs for the Principality of Alban or as serfs for the Principality of Jean.

"Oh, you are quite honest. How could they tell you about using the dam to deal with us?"

Gervais asked curiously, this man is just a small serf supervisor, wouldn't he be afraid of leaking secrets when telling him something like this?

"Sir, only the villain and those rangers know about this matter. They let me know the function of the dam, so that I can instruct these serfs on how to build a dam that can be demolished in an instant. That's why the knight master of White Rock City

Told me."

"A dam that can be demolished in an instant?"

"Very good, I am very satisfied with your answer to the question."

"Now Master, I will give you two choices. The first choice is to become my serf and work for me from now on. The second choice is to lie on the ground like those rangers and wait for the wild wolves to come and take away your bodies.

!”

"Sir, we are willing to become your serfs and help you, but you must not kill us!"

There was a sudden uproar among the serfs, and everyone knelt on the ground, begging Gervais for mercy.

"Oh! Very good, very wise choice!"

Gervais nodded without surprise, and then continued.

"Since you have become my serfs, I will arrange the first thing for you to do."

"I need you to continue building a dam here, one that can be destroyed in one go. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I understand! Master, we promise to build the dam for you!"

The supervisor and all the serfs nodded vigorously.

"Okay! Then get up!"

Gervais motioned to the serfs to stand up.

"By the way, when will this dam be built?"

According to what these serfs said, they sneaked over last night, which means that the defenders of White Rock City did not expect that the Principality of Zeon would attack them this year, uncharacteristically.

And half of the dam can be built in one night, which means it can be completed in the next two days at the latest.

However, for insurance purposes, Gervais still needed to confirm. After all, it would take several days to store water.

"Sir, the dam will be built at noon tomorrow!"

The serf supervisor did not dare to neglect and answered Gervais quickly.

Gervais nodded, very satisfied with this speed.

However, necessary deterrence is still needed for these newly captured serfs, so Gervais continued.

"Build the dam for me, and I will not treat you as serfs in the Principality of Alban in the future! However, if anyone dares to try to escape in the past few days, he will be killed without mercy!"

"If a person escapes, ten people will be buried with him! I hope you remember this!"

"Yes, sir!"

The serfs who were more than a hundred meters away initially relaxed a little when they saw that Gervais's tone was not very harsh. But when he heard Gervais's last words, his face instantly turned pale and he nodded like a quail.

.

"Very good, then you can continue to build the dam for me now!"

…

"Ender, fifty of you are stationed here and are responsible for watching over these serfs building the dam! I will go back to Alice and talk to her!"

After all the serfs were taken to the river to continue building the dam, Gervais called Ender and began to explain.

"Yes, sir!"

Without any hesitation, Ender bowed to Gervais and responded.

"Well, the supplies will be delivered to you later when I return. In addition to keeping an eye on these serfs these two days, you also need to pay attention to the rangers of the Principality of Alban."

"If there is really a large group of enemies coming, you don't have to defend it, just return to the camp quickly and report!"

"Yes, sir!"

When Ender heard this explanation, he glanced at Gervais with great gratitude.

It's not that he is afraid of death, but that Gervais can say such words means that Gervais really cares about them.

Unlike some nobles, they don't care about the life and death of their subordinates. As long as they can achieve their goals, they won't hesitate.

After explaining everything and finishing the fish soup and grilled fish, Gervais happily led his bodyguards towards White Rock City.

…

"Haha! Those are the teams of the Jones family, right? How pitiful. I heard that one of their families was assigned to the west wall!"

"Hehe, our Lord Earl is really awesome. I heard that this proposal came from him!"

"There is a big river on the west wall, so how can we attack?"

"Haha! So they are pitiful! I guess by the time they build the pontoon bridge and start attacking, the reward will have already fallen into our hands!"

"You deserve it. In the past few years, the Jones family was the most domineering, but now it's better! Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

When Gervais came to the camp, the low-pitched laughter of some minor nobles could be heard from time to time.

Because the Jones family was moving the camp at the moment, from time to time vassals of the Jones family slowly walked out of the camp with their teams and headed towards the west wall of White Rock City.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. After nearly two hours of cleaning up, all the Haloxylon ammodendron trees on the dirt bunker to the west have been cut down. At this moment, they are just waiting for everyone in the Jones family to move over and set up camp.

Most of the little nobles who were gloating about the misfortune belonged to the Larkin family and the Charles family. In the past few years, the Jones family was the most dazzling family in the Principality of Jean besides the royal family, so they were happy at this time.

However, Gervais didn't care about these private ridicules. He had now thought of a feasible method, and it was not certain who would win.

"Laugh! Just laugh happily! There will be times when you cry!"

After passing through the camp, I found Alice's camp. After being informed by the Rose Knight who was guarding outside, Gervais walked in.

"Gervis, you're back! Has the matter upstream been resolved?"

When Alice saw Gervais coming in, she immediately hid the tired look on her face and asked Gervais in a gentle tone.

"It's been solved! But I let Ender and the others stay there."

At that moment, Gervais told Alice that he had let the serfs continue to build the dam on it.

"Build a dam? Gervais, do you want to flood White Rock City with water?"

"It shouldn't work. The walls of Baiyan City are not made of mud bricks, but thousands of kilograms of bluestone. They are not afraid of floods!"

Alice had no reaction to Gervase leaving the Rose Knight there, but her focus was on the dam. Alice pointed out that flooding White Rock City would have no effect without thinking.

"Hehe, simply flooding White Rock City will of course have no effect! But don't worry, Alice, I'm very confident that I can do it!"

Gervais chuckled, showing off his superiority is the most relaxing thing, especially in front of his cheap wife, a cold goddess.
