Chapter 71 Ambush

"Thomas, is the dry food ready?"

When the team was assembled, Gervais looked at Thomas, who had been standing beside him.

"Sir, water and dry food have been loaded on the carriage!"

Thomas had a rare seriousness on his face at this moment, and he could not see the flattering smile from before. He knew what his master was going out to do tonight, so he was quite nervous.

When Driss left, he did not take all the carriages away, but left four carriages in Gervais's castle. The buffer zone was far away from the Golden Castle, and Gervais did not have so many horses, so

The soldiers all need to travel in carriages.

It was only dusk now, and he didn’t know when Lanny’s convoy would return to the Viscounty of Lanny, so Gervais specifically asked Thomas to prepare dry food so that the soldiers could eat it on the carriage later to avoid starvation.

Affect combat effectiveness.

"Very good, then I need you to look after the castle for me tonight!"

"Sir, don't worry, the castle villain will definitely help you take care of it. I wish you success!"

"Yes!" Gervais nodded to Thomas and did not continue talking to him. He turned to the more than 40 soldiers in front of him and shouted: "Let's go now!"

Gervais gave the order, and all the soldiers immediately walked towards the carriage. Although Nashen was also present, Gervais was also the second son of Gandalf, and they would also obey Gervase's orders.

After the soldiers dispersed, several servants quickly pulled the horses of Gervais, Nashen and others to the front, waiting for Gervais and the others to ride on them.

"Sir, please be careful!"

Just after Gervais got on the horse, Anna, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak, reminding Gervais in a slightly worried tone. Seeing Gervais leading a large group of people to fight, she was so frightened that her face was a little frightened.

pale.

"Don't worry, Anna!"

Gervais pulled the reins of the horse and saw the uneasiness in Anna's fair face, so he smiled at her and replied to the little maid in a soft tone.

After saying that, Gervais saw that the guards were already seated in the carriage, so he no longer hesitated and urged the horses to the front of the convoy, taking the lead and galloping towards the castle gate.



When Gervais and others arrived at the border of the territory, it was already sunset and the hazy sky was about to turn completely dark. After Gervais asked the soldiers to hide the carriage, he immediately led everyone towards the path. Audrey

Monitor halfway up the mountain ahead.

"Sir, you are here!"

When Gervais led everyone around the corner, they saw Audrey squatting behind a small tree, observing the wooden camp in the distance intently. When Gervais arrived, he immediately prepared to stand up and salute.

"Thank you for your hard work, Audrey. How is the situation in the camp now?"

Gervais waved his hand to indicate that Audry did not need to salute, and then asked him.

Seeing Gervais waving, Audrey continued to squat behind the small tree and began to report the situation, "Sir, the team of people did not come out after entering the camp. Things were loaded onto carriages from time to time in the camp. Three carriages have been loaded.

The carriages are ready, but there are still two carriages that are not full."

"Well, then let's rush over before it gets dark and set up an ambush first. Have you confirmed the ambush point for you to investigate?"

Gervais also looked towards Lanny's camp, but the sky was already hazy at the moment, and the camp was too far away to see clearly. He could only see four or five larger black spots, which should be where the cargo was loaded.

carriage.

Gervais had already told Audrey about the ambush site. Although there were woods on both sides, there were quite a few of them. They needed to be well concealed and easy to rush out. If there were any thorns or the like there, they would also ask Audrey to sneak out.

Get rid of it, otherwise even if everyone is wearing long sleeves at the moment, it will be uncomfortable to be stabbed in the dark.

"Sir, don't worry, I've already done the survey."

Audrey quickly replied that as a veteran, this kind of thing was not difficult for him. After receiving Gervais's order, he secretly hid in the jungle for a day, making sure to find a good ambush point.

"Very well, without further ado, Audrey, lead the way!"

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the order, Audrey immediately walked down the mountain to lead the way for Gervais and others.

"Follow everyone behind you, don't get separated."

Seeing Audrey leading the way forward, Gervais waved to Nashen and other soldiers who were still waiting behind him, gesturing for them to follow.

After the sun went down, the speed of darkness was visible to the naked eye. When Gervais and others arrived at the foot of the mountain, they could hardly see the scene in the distance.

Audrey's performance made Gervais very satisfied. Even in such a dark situation, in this dense forest, Audrey still led everyone forward,

Feeling in the dark, turning left and right in the woods, Gervais and the others finally arrived at the ambush point that Audrey was investigating.

"Sir, this is it!"

After stopping, Audrey carefully came to Gervais and whispered in his ear.

"Okay!" Gervais nodded slightly, then turned around, waved to the people behind him, motioning for them to squat down, and then said to Na Shen beside him: "If there is only one titled knight later,

If so, the two of us will besiege together. You create opportunities for me, and I will attack with three critical strikes and three sword strikes. If there are two titled knights, then don’t worry about me, Lord Nashen, we will each deal with one."

"Okay, Master Gervais!"

In fact, it is best for Nashen to take command of this kind of battle. However, Nashen told Gervais that Gandalf had told him that if it was not an emergency, he should let Gervais give the order. This would train Gervais.

command ability.”

Gervais was very speechless when he learned about this from Nashen. This was just a sneak attack and ambush. What kind of command ability could be exercised? However, Gervais did not object. When the enemy reached the ambush point, he would finish shooting.

Cold arrows, just swarm up and that's it.

Next, Gervais did not dare to speak any more. Everyone crouched silently in the jungle, staring intently at the front of the road under the moonlight. Only slight scratching sounds could be heard occasionally.

Although they all wore long sleeves and applied a kind of plant sap to prevent mosquitoes before setting off, it was summer now and they were squatting in the bushes one by one. They still got bitten by mosquitoes occasionally. No one dared to bite them, so they could only bite them.

Silently scratch the bite area.

Before setting off, Gervais hoped that Lanny's team could wait until tomorrow morning to return, but now he hoped that Lanny's team would appear in front of him immediately.

Gervais and others waited like this in the jungle for more than two hours. Two hours later, they finally heard the sound of wheels rolling in the distance. Gervais was immediately shaken and could no longer care about the things on the back of his hands.
