Chapter 425 Deep into the hinterland (month)
When all the barons in Maiye City could not sleep at night, thinking of ways to catch Gervais, Gervais had already fallen asleep.
In the dream, Gervais was walking on the prairie holding his cheap wife's slender arm. As he walked, Gervais put his arms around the cheap wife's slender waist, and then moved towards the cheap wife's fragrant lips.
Kissed.
After a romantic French kiss, Gervais opened his eyes with satisfaction.
"Holy shit, why is it Caroline!"
I don’t know when, the pretty woman in Gervais’ arms has turned into Caroline.
"Caroline, just Caroline, let me kiss you!"
Although the person in his arms changed from the cheap wife to Caroline, Gervais ignored it, covered his head and continued to kiss.
"My lord! My lord!"
"???"
Just when Gervais stopped the delicate body in his arms and wanted to take further action, he seemed to hear someone calling him in a daze, so Gervais stared in front of him.
This sight shocked Gervais. He found that the person he had been holding and chewing for a long time had turned into Ike.
"Oh my god, what a ghost!"
Gervais punched down and immediately knocked Ik away.
At the same time, Gervais, who was in shock outside the dream, suddenly woke up from the bed.
"I was scared to death! It turned out to be a dream!"
Gervais looked at his surroundings and realized that everything was a dream. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt calm.
"My lord! My lord! Please wake up!"
"What do you call it? You can't even dream about it in the middle of the night!"
Hearing Ike's shout again, Gervais stood up helplessly and walked out of the tent.
"grown ups……"
When Ike saw Gervais coming out, he couldn't help but shrink his neck. He always felt a chill on his back, and the adult seemed to be in a bad mood. He probably woke the adult up in the middle of the night.
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
Gervais glared at Ike so hard that he almost had a heart attack.
But seeing that Ike's tone was a little anxious, something must have happened.
"Sir, the person who was on guard at the edge of the woods just now came back to report that the troops from Maiye City are setting fires everywhere and want to burn down the woods!"
Ike answered cautiously.
"What! Burning the forest?"
Gervais was shocked, he really didn't expect this.
It was autumn at this time, the ground was covered with withered yellow leaves, and the entire forest was extremely dry. If the fire was lit, the night wind would burn the entire forest before dawn.
"Yes, sir! Several woods have been set alight, and they are still setting fires!"
"Quick, get everyone together, bring your things and prepare to retreat!"
Gervais immediately ordered.
Before the fire breaks out, the right choice is to make an immediate decision and run away.
If they wait for the fire to burn, even if they can't burn themselves for a while, the thick smoke will choke them to death, and it is very likely that they will get lost.
"Where should I escape? The road back to the original route has been blocked during the day. Now that they have thought of setting fire to the woods, they must be even more defensive. Therefore, the road back must be dangerous. If I go there, I will be trapped.
!”
Although Gervais also has a black kiwi fruit that can increase his strength by 50 times, there are two golden knights in Maiye City. He only has one hour at that time and there is absolutely no way he can escape.
What's more, these subordinates and gold coins of his are unable to escape.
After thinking about it, Gervais couldn't help but turn his attention to the south. That direction was towards the rear of the Duchy of Alban. Now, perhaps the blockade in this direction is weaker.
After all, that was their hinterland, and no one would have thought that Gervais would have the guts to go there.
"His grandma is very weak. The most important thing is to escape from the woods right now. The worst thing is to find a place to hide from the wind in the hinterland of the Principality of Alban, and then run back when the war breaks out here!"
Gervais thought for a moment and finally made up his mind.
"Everyone, listen up, put on the armor of the Principality of Alban, let's move towards the south!"
Next, Gervais led his subordinates towards the south.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that the enemy would set fire to the forest to force him out. After all, if he set fire to such a large forest, he would have been imprisoned in his previous life.
…
Although they were forced to move, fortunately, the enemy's movements were discovered early, and the enemy did not expect that Gervais would dare to cross towards the south. Gervase's team appeared in the south a few hours later.
On the road to the hinterland of the Principality of Alban.
While walking on the road, Gervais did not let his subordinates light torches, and the horse's hooves were also covered with thick cloth, so there was no danger of any danger as they walked quickly.
Although they also bumped into two groups of patrolling rangers on the road, they were detected in advance by Gervais's super hearing, and they avoided them.
Gervais did not dare to stay, fearing that the barons would pursue him this way without finding his trace after burning the woods, so he marched along the road overnight.
They all had horses and carriages to ride on, so they traveled seventy or eighty miles in one night.
…
"Sir, there is a manor five miles ahead, but there seems to be no one inside!"
When the sky gradually became brighter and the sun rose in the east, Gervais and his party hid in the weeds on the side of the road to rest for a while, and then sent Ike and others to explore the road ahead.
At this time, Ike and others had returned from the investigation and were reporting to Gervais on the situation ahead.
"Very good, let's go to the manor to make some repairs now!"
Gervais immediately ordered the team to rush to the manor.
The group of people had been traveling quickly all night and were already tired and hungry, so Gervais planned to go there to let the team repair themselves before continuing on their way.
Gervais and the others have not yet escaped from the Earldom of Jinmai, and there are no suitable woods for them to hide here, so Gervais is not prepared to stay here for too long, otherwise as long as their whereabouts are discovered, they will
This group of people really couldn't fly.
Soon, Gervais and his party came to the manor that Ike said. This manor was not dilapidated and ownerless. Although there was no one in the manor and all valuable things had been moved away, it was clean and tidy inside. It was obvious that the manor was
The people there have only been gone for a day or two.
Gervais estimated that they probably went to Maiye City to take refuge. The army was passing through, and only the city walls were relatively safe.
Gervais and others rested in this manor all morning before continuing on the road after lunch.
This manor is not safe, because when Gervais and the others were resting in the manor, they had already seen three waves of rangers patrolling the road outside.
I just don't know if they are patrolling as usual, or if they are searching for their group in this direction with purpose.
…
Gervais and his party continued to move forward, and after two hours, they finally reached the border of the Earldom of Jinmai.
Looking at the boundary stone in front of them, Gervais felt helpless. As long as they passed through the two-kilometer buffer zone in front, they would enter the territory directly under King Hayden.
This is the first time that a team from the Principality of Jean has penetrated into the territory directly under the King of the Principality of Alban.
In previous years, the furthest point of the Southern Expedition to the Principality of Jean was the troops approaching Maiye City. However, the troops arriving at Maiye City in previous years were only to frighten the people in Maiye City so that they did not dare to act rashly, and did not launch an attack on the city.
"Let's go! I'll take you to see what the hinterland of the Principality of Alban looks like!"
