Chapter 361 Alice's Plan

Chakra, who had just walked a few steps away, almost vomited blood in anger when he heard Gervis's shout, and his teeth were chattering. However, it was obvious that he could not get back at this point.

Although he could use his position to do things that would embarrass the Jones family, such as choosing a garrison location, Alice and the others could do nothing about it.

But if his chakra really caused any substantial harm to the Jones family, if a fight broke out, even if Gervis and others surrounded and killed him, at this juncture, the king would not support him.

Chakra, who was able to become the logistics director, was obviously not an impulsive person. In the end, he pretended not to hear what Gervis said next and left on foot under the protection of the cavalry.

It’s not that Chakra sympathized with his subordinate and didn’t want to change horses, but he knew that if he rode on it again, he would probably fall into Gervis’s trap again.

After Chakra walked away in embarrassment, Gervis withdrew his gaze, turned his head triumphantly and looked at his cheap wife.

"This guy is obviously looking for trouble, Alice, why don't you just deliberately slow down this southern expedition? It's not worth it to work for a king like this!"

"This incident should have nothing to do with the king. The king has made a great determination to march south this time, and he would never want any accidents to happen at this time. Although my father is missing, the Jones family's military strength is still the best in the principality!"

Alice's beautiful eyes flickered. She never thought that one day she would need Gervis' help to vent her anger.

"But even if it wasn't the king's intention, there must be someone behind this chakra. I will go meet the king later!"

"As for the southern expedition, if our duchy can really take over the Duchy of Alban this time, it will actually be a good thing for the Jones family. It will attract the attention of other earl families to the land of the Duchy of Alban, and the Jones family will get some real time to breathe."

Alice spoke the latter sentence in a relatively soft voice, so only she and Gervis could hear it.

Such words should have been kept to herself, but because of Gervis's performance just now, Alice felt that Gervis was really very reliable, so she told him.

In fact, even Alice herself didn't realize that her defense against Gervis had become increasingly weak.

"Well, let's set up camp!"

Gervis agreed with Alice's last words, so he didn't say anything more.

Whenever an empire becomes strong enough, it will start a foreign war. Why is that?

Is it because of bellicosity?

Actually, it is not. It is because once an empire develops to its peak, it also means that the interests within the empire have basically been divided up and utilized. At this time, if the various interest groups in the empire want to obtain more benefits, they can only snatch them from others.

For example, other earl families all want to get a share of the cake from the Jones family. However, if these interest groups really seize the interests within the empire, it will inevitably cause turmoil within the empire and may even plunge the entire empire into the abyss.

On the contrary, if one turns his attention to the territories of other empires.

Well, if the robbery is successful, it will be possible to safely resolve the internal disputes within the empire and may even push the empire to a higher peak.

If the Principality of Jean really conquers the entire Principality of Alban during this southern expedition, the vast and fertile land of Alban will be enough for all the nobles of the Principality of Jean to live a life of plenty, and no one will be so bored as to continue to stare at the Jones family.

In this world, no family fights each other out of hatred. Instead, the struggle for interests is the real reason for the war, and hatred is just an excuse to start a war.

"kindness!"

Alice knew that Gervis understood what she said, and the frost on her pretty face rarely faded. She said "yes" and nodded obediently.

"Nadine, let them start setting up camp!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Nadine, who was not far away, responded and then gave orders to several messengers beside her. Soon, the rear troops who received the orders also began to gather towards the camp.

Although the campsite that Chakra chose for the Jones family was a remote one, they did not dare to do anything blatant in other aspects.

The mud ground of the camp had been marked with lines in advance with lime, dividing it into squares of different sizes.

These squares are designed to make it easier for the arriving troops to set up camp, so as to avoid any trouble while setting up camp.

…

"The date of departure stipulated in the King's conscription order is the day after tomorrow. The remaining earl's troops should arrive today or tomorrow, so apart from the soldiers, you can move freely during these two days!"

"But there is one thing you need to remember. Everyone must return to the camp before dark tomorrow afternoon to avoid delaying the expedition the next day."

When the camp was set up, Alice summoned all her vassals to the central camp to give a speech.

"Yes, sir!"

Alice's words were meant for the little nobles like Gervis who were going on their first expedition. Old hands like Pat already knew all about it and there was no need for Alice to remind them again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, no one dared to object to the Earl's speech. Everyone stood in front of Alice and responded respectfully.

"Well, then you can move freely! Keep your subordinates under control and don't cause any trouble! I will tell you about the specific arrangements after the expedition once the king has made them."

Alice nodded, dismissed all the vassals, and then turned to Gervis beside her and said, "I'm going to the City of Glory to see the king now, and by the way, ask about Wright. You can move freely like them, but you have to be careful."

"Okay, go ahead! I'll keep an eye on it!"

Gervis nodded. He would always keep the safety issue in mind without Alice's reminder. After all, although it was his first time to leave Jones Territory, he had offended quite a few nobles directly and indirectly.

For example, at Alice's banquet, she offended two earl families, the Charles family and the Larkin family. The Larkin family was a vengeful family that wanted to kill her son.

In addition to these two earl families, I have just offended that fat guy Charles.

After getting a positive answer from Gervis, Alice turned around, mounted her horse, and headed towards the City of Glory ahead under the protection of dozens of Rose Knights.

…

"Grevith, are you going to the City of Glory?"

After Alice left, little fat boy Pat, who had been standing not far away, immediately came out and greeted Gervis with a smile.

"Let me tell you, although this City of Glory is a border city, it is also a very important trade gateway on weekdays. It is as prosperous as Winterfell. Moreover, it borders the Principality of Alban and has an exotic atmosphere!"

"It doesn't matter what kind of exotic food it is. Take me to have a good meal first! After traveling for more than ten days, my mouth is full of the taste of dried meat."

Facing the ambiguous smile of Fatty Pat, Gervis rolled his eyes and said that he was a young man with positive values ​​and that he would deal with everything after he had filled his stomach.

"Hey, hey! No more delay, no more delay! I'll take you to a nice place where you can eat and have fun! But you have to bring the wine with you!"
