Chapter 337 Wright's Hat

After rushing all the way and killing a few scattered guards, Gervis finally saw the towering camp in front of him. Although this camp was made of wood, like Lanny's original camp, a lot of effort was put into it. Each log of the camp was as thick as a man's embrace, and its strength was not much weaker than a brick and stone wall.

The most important thing is that this camp was built on a small hillside, and a three or four meter wide moat was dug around it. The water in the moat was directly drawn from the sea. The drawbridge had been retracted, so Gervis and others could not cross it at all.

"Little Gervis, a strong attack will definitely not work!"

Gandalf simply spoke to Gervis after only taking a glance at the camp ahead.

"Well, father, we won't attack by force. We'll just wait here for them to come out. Laurie and the others are setting fire over there. I don't believe they can stay here!"

As flames shot up into the sky at the dock, the walls of the camp were also filled with soldiers. These people were very vigilant. In order to prevent being shot by hidden arrows from Gervis and his men, no one lit torches, but just looked outside by the night light.

"Slave swordmen and longbowmen, follow me. Ike, place grenades on the road in front of the camp according to the plan we made before departure."

"Yes, sir!"

After giving orders to Ik, Gervis led the slave soldiers to the front of the camp, and the slave swordmen held up their shields to block Gervis.

"Hey! Who of you upstairs has the final say here?"

When they arrived more than 30 meters in front of the camp, Gervis shouted loudly to the people on the wooden wall under the protection of slave soldiers.

The reason why Gervis did not pretend to be cool today and wanted to hide under the protection of the slave soldiers was entirely because his weapon for pretending to be cool, the mithril full body armor, was being repaired.

In the battle with Wright and others a few days ago, Gervis's full body armor was damaged in several places. It has been sent to Bernard and has not been returned yet.

"I am the highest commander here. Who are you? Do you know where you are tonight?"

Nem looked at the direction of the dock which was being set on fire. Although he was angry, he was not anxious at the moment because there was no fire at the dock.

There are also more than seventy guards guarding the dock, and there is also a wall built there. If the enemy is not numerous, it should be able to be defended for a while.

"Haha! We are pirates. My name is Wright. Have you heard of me? Of course I know where this place is. Isn't it the territory of that old immortal Avery? I came here today specifically to rob Gibb Town. If you know what's good for you, just come out and surrender. I won't kill you!"

Although Gervis was hiding among the slave soldiers, his momentum was not weak at all. He wanted to attract hatred and lure Nem and others out as soon as possible.

"Wright?"

Nem's eyes flickered at first, and there was a hint of panic, but after a moment he realized that the person in front of him was definitely not Wright.

Although he was based in Gibb Town, he already knew that Wright was sent to Storm Territory by the Earl. Moreover, he had seen the real Wright and knew Wright's private identity. It was absolutely impossible for him to come to plunder Gibb Town.

"You are courting death! I advise you to retreat quickly, otherwise you will offend the Lakin family and none of you will be able to escape afterwards!"

Nem did not expose Gervis's lie, but replied with a frown.

"So you mean we can't come to an agreement? Shoot!"

Gervis sneered, then gave an abrupt order.

Following Gervis' order, 20 slave longbowmen more than 30 meters behind instantly released their bowstrings.

Whoosh whoosh!

20 arrows shot rapidly towards the wooden wall.

Knock knock knock!

"ah!"

This wave of arrows came suddenly. Nem and others did not expect that the other party was so despicable that they shot arrows without saying a word. In an instant, two or three soldiers were shot without warning and screamed.

Of course, more than twenty arrows only hit two or three people. It was not because the slave longbowmen had poor accuracy, but because these elite Coconut Gold Knights were indeed different from ordinary soldiers. Although it was dark, they avoided many arrows or directly blocked them with swords.

"Shoot them to death!"

Nem was furious. The losses on his side were not that great, but as the captain of the Coconut Gold Knights, he had never suffered such a loss before. Seeing that Gervis and others were retreating to the rear, he immediately ordered the longbowmen beside him to fight back.

Whoosh whoosh!

Hearing the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, Gervis quickly raised his small round shield. In this dark night, if he was unlucky and got hit by an arrow, it would be a big loss.

Knock knock knock!

The arrows shot from the wooden wall arrived in an instant, and Gervis immediately felt his round shield being hit twice in succession. This wave of arrows was more than twice as powerful as that of the slave longbowmen.

After they retreated about seventy or eighty meters, the enemy finally stopped shooting, and Gervis put down the small round shield in his hand, because at this distance, both sides could no longer see each other, and it would be a waste to continue shooting.

"Father, the enemy seems to be very cunning and will not easily open the camp. There must be many guards guarding the dock. If there is no problem with the dock, these Coconut Gold Knights are ready to be turtles!"

After retreating, Gervase came to Gandalf and said.

"Little Gervis, how about this? You take some men to attack the dock over there, and I will continue to ambush here!"

"No need, father. I guess there are only 60 to 70 people at the dock. I'll let the Rose Knights go over there!"

Gervis shook his head. The Coconut Gold Knights here were the biggest threat, so Gervis would naturally not leave.

"Andre, you guys go to the dock and force your way in now. It's best to make a lot of noise. If you force your way in, start setting fire to it!"

Gervis said to a captain of the Rose Knights.

"Yes, sir!"

The captain named Ender quickly agreed. Alice had already told him to obey Gervis before she left. So Ender quickly called the other four captains and they headed towards the dock in the dark.

"kill!"

A few minutes later, Gervis heard a series of shouts and screams coming from the dock. Although the dock had a wall, it was only to prevent ordinary thieves or outsiders, and it was guarded by ordinary guards.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With Ander and the other five knights leading the way, it took only seven or eight minutes to break down the gate and rush in. Ander, following Gervis's instructions, started setting fires everywhere with Laurie and the others.

…

"My Lord, it's bad. The dock seems to have been breached and they are setting it on fire!"

The soldier who had been standing on the wooden wall and watching the movements of the dock shouted at Nem, who was now putting on full body armor with the help of his men.

As the soldier finished speaking, just when Nem was about to say something, a female scream was heard from a large wooden house in the camp.

"Nem, hurry to the dock. Our ship is still under repair in the dock. If the saplings of the coconut and grapefruit trees are burned, Lord Avery will never forgive us."

As the woman finished speaking, Nem's mouth twitched and his face turned pale and blue.

This woman was not Nem's wife, but Wright's wife. Yes, it was Wright who was killed by Gervais two days ago.

Although Wright was stripped of his title and "defected" to become a pirate overseas, he still took orders from Earl Avery.

In order to better control Wright, Earl Avery appointed Wright's eldest son as a new baron, which was a favor in disguise. However, Wright's son was only in his teens, so Wright's wife was the one who made the decisions now.

In order to conceal his tracks, the instructions given by the Earl to Wright were delivered personally by Wright's wife, and nominally it was to help the Earl transport a batch of supplies.

This batch of materials are the saplings of the Magic Coconut Pomelo Tree. The Magic Coconut Pomelo trees of the Larkin family are actually naturally formed. Although the reason for their formation is unknown, that piece of Magic Coconut Pomelo will naturally reproduce and grow.

In order to ensure the safety of these magic coconut and pomelo trees, the Larkin family transplants the newly grown magic coconut and pomelo seedlings every year.

Because the coconut and grapefruit trees are tall and can only grow on the beach, the Larkin family's magic potion coconut and grapefruit trees cannot be planted in space. Instead, they specially built several seaside manors with strict defenses, like military fortresses, along the coast.

This time, Wright's wife was responsible for transporting this year's batch of magic coconut and grapefruit tree saplings. Nem had been having an affair with Wright's wife for a long time, so taking advantage of this opportunity, Wright's wife deliberately found an excuse to maintain the ship and "rest" here for a night, but she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

Just now when Gervis said he was Wright, Nem panicked for a moment because he thought that his affair with Wright's wife was exposed and that Wright was looking for trouble with him. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Even if Gervis was the real Wright, he would not set fire to the pier.

…

"Get the horses out and prepare for battle!"

Originally, Nem didn't want to leave the camp. After all, it was dark now and he didn't know whether the enemy had arranged an ambush outside. But now the dock had been breached, and he was stationed here to protect the dock.

If the dock was burned down, he would be dead, not to mention that there were saplings of the magic coconut and pomelo tree there.

Soon, more than ninety members of Nem's Coconut Gold Knights mounted their horses and assembled, leaving only four or five people behind in the camp.

"Open the door and lower the drawbridge!"

Wright slowly covered the visor of his helmet. The reason why the elite troops under these nobles were all knights was because they could truly display their fighting power when they were on horseback.

Thanks for the reward "帅的被人砍00000"!!!

I've been stuck on writing these past two days, so there may only be one chapter tonight. Sorry!
