Chapter 417 Corpses everywhere

Gervais walked along the road in the night and passed two castles, but there were no people on the road along the way.

Only occasionally could one hear the sounds of individual serfs moving in the woods on the roadside. These serfs should have escaped from the small towns and villages ahead to avoid the war.

However, Gervais ignored these serfs. He already knew where he was at this moment.

By comparing the simple map with the terrain, Gervais had just passed by the fourth Baron Castle on the Grand Prince's route, which meant that there were three castles ahead.

Gervais estimated that at normal speed, the eldest prince and others were probably already at the third castle, or had simply captured the third castle.

"There are still twenty miles to go, so cheer up."

Next, Gervais became more cautious when moving forward, always paying attention to whether there were any rangers exploring the road ahead. If these rangers discovered his traces, they would inevitably kill and silence him.

After all, Gervais is a time traveler. Although he has adapted to the jungle of this world, he has not yet reached the point where he can kill without blinking an eye.

So if he could approach quietly, he thought it was best to sneak in quietly to avoid getting too much unnecessary blood.

Just after Gervais continued to march for more than ten minutes, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Gervais quickly turned over and dismounted, then led the horse to the roadside and stared forward.

Boom! Boom!

Just after Gervais hid on the roadside for more than a minute, the rumble of horse hooves was heard at the end of the road.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, Gervais could even feel the ground shaking.

"What's going on? There's no way the eldest prince's team has so many war horses, and running so fast in the middle of the night is definitely something urgent!"

Although Gervais had not yet seen the cavalry team in front because of the darkness.

However, based on the loud sound of horse hooves, Gervais speculated that the team rushing forward had at least a thousand people.

It stands to reason that only King Lawrence and King Hayden can possess such a large number of cavalry.

Even Alice and others will not bring the entire elite knights with them during the southern expedition. After all, the old nest still needs to be defended.

Gervais didn't need to be confused for long, and soon a large group of cavalry galloping from the front gave Gervais the answer.

"Thunder Knights!"

When Gervais saw the flags held by the cavalry, he couldn't help but scream.

This cavalry team of thousands of people is the Thunder Knights who lost thousands of horses in Baiyan City.

But after getting the answer, Gervais became even more surprised.

"How is it possible? Didn't the Thunder Knights lose a lot of horses and withdraw from Maiye City? How could they come from the direction of the eldest prince's team!"

Soon, while Gervais was in shock and confusion, the cavalry team of more than a thousand people rumbled past Gervais on the road in front of him, rolling away in the direction Gervais came from, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.

After confirming that there were no more people or horses on the road ahead, Gervais pulled his horse out of the woods.

Gervais then jumped on his horse and galloped towards the direction of the eldest prince's team.

Gervais had a guess that the Thunder Knights must have come here for the eldest prince.

And just now he saw a lot of dark red blood stains on the armor of the knights of the Thunder Knights, indicating that they must have experienced a battle not long ago.

If there is a battle ahead, the team fighting the Thunder Knights will most likely be the Great Prince's team.

And seeing how powerful the Thunder Knights are, the eldest prince's team may be in danger.

As Gervais no longer hid his figure and galloped on his horse, he finally saw the Grand Prince's team after more than an hour.

However, at this time, the camp of the eldest prince's team had turned into ruins, with corpses strewn all over the ground.

There is a damaged Baron's Castle next to the eldest prince's camp. It was obvious that this Baron's Castle had been breached by the eldest prince and others, but he did not expect to encounter a surprise attack by the Thunder Knights in the middle of the night.

The team camped outside the castle was directly killed by thousands of thunder knights.

…

Gervais originally wanted to hide his identity and sneak into the eldest prince's team, but after seeing such a scene, his disguise plan was completely unnecessary.

Because there were serfs walking around the battlefield at this time. These serfs should be local indigenous people. Seeing that the battlefield was profitable, they came to look for valuable things.

Gervais even saw individual serfs directly finishing up some soldiers who were not dead yet.

At this time, the sky had lightened up slightly, and a beam of rays of rays of light had appeared in the distance in the east. The battlefield littered with corpses became even more bloody under the rays of rays of light.

Gervais rode his war horse directly towards the bottom of the castle. At this time, the baron's castle was empty, the door was open, and there was no one in sight.

When Gervais rode his war horse towards the battlefield, the serfs who were constantly searching for valuables also saw him.

"roll!"

More than a dozen serfs gathered towards Gervais with the swords and spears they had picked up, obviously hoping to capture Gervais's horse.

Gervais was too lazy to deal with them, and roared so loudly that the serfs were so frightened that they peed their pants, and everyone ran away towards the distant woods.

After the serfs ran away, Gervais rode his war horse and circled among the corpses in the field. He wanted to find a living person to ask about the situation of the eldest prince.

If the eldest prince dies at the hands of the Thunder Knights, that would be the best, but if the eldest prince does not die, then this is also his best chance.

After turning around a large pile of dead bodies, Gervais finally found a living person after a few minutes.

This is a young nobleman, wearing some old full-body armor, with a big hole in his abdomen, and blood is constantly leaking out.

At this time, the little nobleman was already breathing more out than in. If it weren't for the physique of a titled knight, he would have died long ago.

"Viscount Gervais!"

When Gervais got off his horse and raised his head, the dying little nobleman spoke first.

"you know me?"

"Heh...heh, Viscount Gervais used small steel cannons to bombard White Rock City. His reputation has long spread throughout the Southern Expedition!"

Blood continued to flow from the mouth of this young nobleman, and he wanted to show Gervais a smile, but because of the pain, his entire face became distorted, and his smile was uglier than crying.

"Do you know where the eldest prince is?"

Gervais knew that this young nobleman was running out of time and had no desire to write, so he quickly asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"I don't know. I am a vassal of the Welton family. Yesterday I accompanied Miss Caroline to borrow the trebuchet!"

"Miss Caroline entered the castle with several guards. We are waiting in the camp outside the castle."

"Unexpectedly, a large group of cavalry attacked after dark. After a few waves, the whole camp collapsed! In the end, I only saw a small group of cavalry running out of the castle. They broke out towards the northwest. I didn't know that the eldest prince and Ka

Is Ms. Rowling in there?"

The young nobleman replied intermittently.

"What? Are you from the Welton family? Caroline is here too!"

Gervais was shocked. He didn't expect that the woman Caroline was here. Now the ground was covered with dead bodies. He didn't know if Caroline could run away.

"Yes, Viscount Gervais!"

"Viscount Gervais, I have something to ask you!"

The young nobleman continued with difficulty.

"What's up?"

Gervais asked immediately.

"Can you help me take this full-body armor I'm wearing? There is a shortage of iron in the north, and I want to leave it to my son!"

Although the little noble's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were suddenly full of love and expectation.

"Can!"

Gervais nodded to him solemnly!

"Thank you! Lord Gervais..."

Seeing that Gervais agreed, the young noble used his last strength to say words of thanks, then tilted his head and died in Gervase's arms.

Putting the little noble's body safely on the ground, Gervais sighed softly.

But this is war, dead people are necessary, sometimes the enemy dies, but sometimes it may be oneself!

Gervais did not take off the full-body armor on this young nobleman because he had more important things to do and could not take the armor with him on the road.

But at the end of the Southern Expedition, he will make a brand new battle armor and give it to the heir of this little nobleman.

Gervais took off the noble badge from his collar, then turned around, got on his horse, and rode towards the northwest on his war horse.
