"They said you were out of your mind and wanted to burn the city wall with fire! They also said they would isolate you in the future. It was you who prevented them from winning the rewards issued by the king!"

Little Fatty Pat finished a grilled fish weighing at least one kilogram in three strokes, five by two, and then answered Gervais.

"Moreover, I just heard that they are planning to go to the Earl to protest, hoping to start the siege as soon as possible."

"Oh! I'm still planning to protest!"

Gervais said lightly, then stopped talking and continued to drink wine.

This disappointed little Fatty Pat, who originally wanted to see if Gervais would be nervous.

So Pat leaned over his meaty body again and whispered to Gervais: "Gervais, can you tell me why you want to burn the city wall? Do you have any other plans?"

"This! You will know when the time comes!"

Of course Gervais would not reveal it to Fatty Pat now, otherwise how could he slap those little nobles who doubted him in the face.

Of course Gervais knew that there had been a lot of discussion about him in the camp these days, but these discussions were so intense that Gervais felt that their faces would be slapped louder when the time came, so he was very calm and allowed it to develop, in order to be popular.

To add insult to injury, Gervais even went to eat, drink and have fun directly at the gate of the camp.

In fact, in the past two days, not only in the Jones family camp, but also in the camps to the east and north of Baokuo, Gervais's mindless behavior was spread.

For a time, Gervais really became the object of ridicule among the noble circles of the Principality of Jean.

A few days ago, Gervais's medical team and small steel cannons, as well as the fiefdom promised by the king, made many nobles, big and small, extremely jealous.

Those who are jealous will naturally be jealous. At this time, Gervais finally made such a coquettish move, which was like offering the hilt of his sword for them to stab, so all the nobles, big and small, tried their best to arrange Gervais's actions.

The two Earls, Nemio and Avery, even openly discussed that Gervase's actions were actually instructed by Alice.

Because the Jones family did not want to attack the city and wanted to preserve their own strength, and they actually went to complain to the king.

However, since there were no trebuchets on the city wall and the progress of the siege was beyond expectations, the king did not say much. Instead, he sent a herald to ask Alice to start the siege as soon as possible.

After all, not all the trebuchets in White Rock City were destroyed, just removed. Now Gervais is still a very important person.

…

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'm going to let your faces get slapped!"

Although Gervais seems to be enjoying himself these days, he still pays attention to the progress of water storage in the upstream dam every day.

It is autumn now and there is not much rainfall, so the flow of the river is not large. It will take about three days for the dam above to be full.

This morning, Gervais also sent people to go upstream and got the news that the dam will be filled tomorrow.

So he planned to start taking action tomorrow. After all, if he delayed it any longer, the king would probably order a general attack. Then the other counts would really take the lead, and all his efforts would be in vain.

In addition to the dam, the city wall in front has been roasted continuously for three days, and the temperature has become frightening. If others also have binoculars, they can see that the 100-meter city wall shrouded in flames has no defenders who dare to approach it.

Because that place has completely become a furnace. Anyone who dares to get close to that section of the city wall for a few dozen meters will be roasted and fucked in three to five minutes!

…

That night!

The attack on the northern and eastern city walls is still continuing, while the Jones family camp in the west has reached curfew time. Except for the Rose Knights on patrol, all the minor nobles and soldiers have returned to their camps to turn off the lights and rest.

Gervais was lying happily on the soft bed and soundly asleep at the moment. He needed to recuperate his energy tonight and wait for tomorrow to show off his talents in front of others.

"My lord! My lord!"

At this moment, Ike's anxious call sounded outside Gervais' tent.

"What's wrong, Ike!"

In the hazy state, Gervais heard Ike's call and woke up instantly. Then he stood up quickly, preparing to wear armor and hold a sword.

In the middle of the night, if there was nothing important, Ike would definitely not bother him.

"Sir, the earl sent someone to report that there was a large cavalry raid in the north, and there is a melee going on over there!"

Ike immediately reported softly to Gervais.

"What? A large group of cavalry is coming! Ike, come in quickly and help me put on my full body armor!"

Gervais was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be a cavalry raid from the Principality of Alban in the middle of the night. Didn't Fatty Pat and the others say that the Principality of Alban was only for defense in the past?

Now he actually dares to take the initiative!

Soon, Gervais put on full body armor with the help of Ike and others, and then found Alice's location.

At this moment, Alice is standing on a specially built high platform. This high platform is for the convenience of Alice to observe the surrounding situation in the camp, so the view from here is no different from the view from outside the camp.
