Chapter 399 Affinity? (Two in One)

"Father!"

When Gervis walked into the tent, he saw his cheap father being left alone by Alice.

"Little Gervis! Why don't you stay here with the Earl? Your spoils are already rich enough, there is no need to continue taking risks like this."

Apparently Alice left Gandalf and told him what Gervase had told her last night.

The first time Gandalf saw Gervis, he immediately spoke out in concern and advice.

"Father, don't worry! I will only make such a decision if I am absolutely sure! You don't have to persuade me anymore!"

When he talked with Alice last night, Gervis wasn't so confident.

But ever since he won the black kiwi fruit, Gervis could confidently say that he would have no problem protecting himself.

Gervis estimated that unless he met a knight of mid-level gold or above, he would be as stable as a rock.

Moreover, Golden Knights were not only rare, but there was no way they would come to trouble a small viscount like him, so the probability was almost zero.

"well……"

Gervase's firm tone made Gandalf unable to persuade him any further, and he could only shake his head helplessly.

The abilities that Gervais has now demonstrated in all aspects have completely overshadowed his father, and Gandalf can no longer discipline Gervais as he did before.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had watched Gervis grow up, Gandalf would have suspected that his little Gervis had been replaced by someone else! Especially since Gervis's temperament now had the true aura of a superior.

Gervis had no idea what his cheap father was thinking, but he was relieved when he saw that Gandalf didn't say anything more.

Then Gervis looked at Alice again. After entering the tent, he didn't even have time to say hello to his cheap wife.

However, when Gervis set his eyes on Alice, he discovered that his cheap wife was a little strange today.

Because Alice was staring at him blankly, Gervis could see a look of curiosity in Alice's sapphire eyes.

In addition, there are also these... How to put it, it's like seeing a new and strange thing!

Yes, that’s the feeling!

Next, Gervis looked at Alice carefully and found that Alice still had no reaction.

"That shouldn't be the case! Lilia washed my face for me, she should have reminded me if there was anything wrong with my face!"

Gervis couldn't help but touch his face, feeling a little confused.

Just now, Fatty Pat looked at him several times. Now his cheap wife was even more weird. She looked at him as if she had discovered a new world.

"Alice?!"

Gervis finally couldn't bear it anymore and called out to Alice tentatively.

"ah!"

Alice finally reacted to Gervis's shout. After a moment of panic, she immediately regained her composure.

"Grevith, now that you have made up your mind, let's go to the team where the eldest prince is!"

Alice's face flushed slightly, but it was not obvious, and instead made her look even more beautiful. In order to hide her embarrassment, Alice blurted out something.

She didn't know what was going on, but when she saw Gervis for the first time today, she noticed that Gervis's temperament had changed.

As for how it had changed, Alice couldn't tell the details.

So she could only stare at Gervis and continue to look at him. Unexpectedly, she was so focused that she lost her focus for a moment and was discovered by Gervis.

"Okay, Alice! I've brought the girls from the medical team and the unicorn with me! I'll be troubling you for the next while!"

Gervis looked at Alice suspiciously for several times, and when he saw that Alice's expression immediately returned to normal, he could only change the subject and get back to business.

The first horn in the northern camp has already sounded. Half an hour later, when the second horn sounds, Gervis and others will lead the team to reunite, so he doesn't have much time left.

"By the way, Gervis, I have already explained to the vassal leaders on your journey this time that if there is anything that requires a collective decision, ask them to listen to you as much as possible."

“Okay, no problem!”

With the addition of these vassals, Gervis is not alone facing the Grand Prince and his men. If the Grand Prince and his men dare to go too far, they must also consider the opinions of the thousands of people in the Jones family.

Next, after Gervis continued to talk with Alice about some things that needed attention, Gervis left Alice's tent.

…

"Sir, all the personnel and vehicles are ready and can set off at any time."

Next to Gervis' own camp, the entire camp had been emptied and all equipment and supplies had been loaded onto trucks.

Nearly two hundred of Gervis' subordinates have already lined up and are waiting to set off.

"Let's go!"

After receiving the report from Ik, Gervis rode a black warhorse and gave an order, and then the whole team slowly drove out of the camp.

Woo~woo~

When Gervis's troops crossed the west wall, they heard the second loud horn coming from the northern camp. It was the king calling the troops together and signaling that they were ready to set off.

…

"Sir, I wonder which family you belong to. I'll register you."

Rounding the corner of Baiyan City, Gervis saw from afar two large teams standing apart outside Baiyan City. Both teams were filled with flags and the sounds of people neighing and horses neighing.

When Gervis and his team were about to approach, a group of rangers came running from the distance. Among the rangers was a middle-aged man wearing a silk suit and looking like an aristocrat.

After he came in front of Gervis, he did not dismount, but his tone when speaking to Gervis was very respectful.

"My name is Gervis Gale, from the Jones family!"

Gervis knew that this was a necessary procedure, so he casually replied to the smiling noble in front of him.

"Ah! Are you the Viscount Gervis who conquered Baiyan City? No wonder you look so extraordinary and make people feel good about you the moment they see you!"

The young noble who was in charge of registration was surprised. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was the famous Earl's husband Gervis who broke through Baiyan City yesterday.

"Haha! You're too polite! It was just a fluke!"

It is a good idea to not hit a smiling person. The young noble in charge of registration was quite polite, so Gervis exchanged a few polite words with him.

"Viscount Gervis, the registration has been completed! I won't bother you any more! You can go directly to the team over there now. The team on the left is led by the eldest prince!"

The young noble originally found Gervis quite pleasing to the eye when he first saw him.

Seeing that Gervis' tone was also very polite, the young noble in charge of registration was even more polite. He also pointed towards the team in the distance and instructed Gervis where to go.

"Thank you for telling me! I'll go there first! The call for conscription has already been sounded!"

…

After parting with the little noble whose name he didn't even know, Gervis sat on his warhorse with his eyes rolling around. He raised his hand from time to time to scratch his chin, thinking about something.

At first, Gervis thought that the reactions of Fatty Pat and Alice were just coincidences, but when this little noble, whom he had never met before, showed enthusiasm towards him, Gervis noticed something was wrong.

"Is it the effect of orange kiwi fruit? Affinity? Appealing to both men and women?"

Gervis guessed that these inexplicable things happening today might be related to the orange kiwi fruit he ate last night.

Isn’t being approachable about making people let down their guard and get close to you?

"If I had this skill in my previous life, I would be invincible! Unfortunately, it is useless in this different world!"

Gervis couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, feeling a little bit sorry for his chance to win the lottery.

If it were in the world of the previous life, such affinity would definitely allow an ordinary person to reach the pinnacle of life, become a CEO, and win the heart of a beautiful, rich woman.

But in this world, Gervis is now a viscount lord, holding the power of life and death over thousands of people.

His nominal identity is the husband of Alice, a super white, powerful, rich and beautiful woman, so he doesn't need to work hard in this area at all.

Therefore, the friendliness added to his current physique is simply the icing on the cake!

…

While his thoughts were in flux, Gervis had already joined the ranks of vassal vassals of the Principality of Zeon.

This was an army that could not be more haphazard, with both its personnel and weapons and equipment being uneven and disorganized.

Compared with the soldiers directly under the great nobles not far away, they were simply a mob.

Of course, this is also the norm in this world.

The great nobles have their rivals, and these small nobles also have their enemies.

And this time, Gervis has already learned their team's attack route from Alice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The next target of the king's southern expedition was the Earldom of Kingwheat, one of the five earldoms of the Duchy of Alban.

The Jinmai family is the most powerful earl family in the Principality of Alban.

Moreover, as long as they conquer the Earldom of Jinmai, the troops marching south can wreak havoc unimpeded in the territories directly under King Hayden, and can even go straight to the heart of the matter and directly reach the royal city of Hayden.

As for the other four earl families, since the time for the southern expedition was not sufficient and it needed to be completed before the coming of winter, King Lawrence's strategy was to launch a decapitation invasion, directly break through the defense line of the Principality of Alban, and finally capture the Royal City of Hayden and destroy the capital of the Principality of Alban.

As long as the Royal City of Hayden is captured, the entire Duchy of Alban will actually fall into the hands of King Lawrence.

The Principality of Alban was originally split from the Snow Eagle Empire.

If after beheading King Hayden, Lawrence only needs to order not to pursue the crimes of other nobles, then these nobles will definitely prostrate themselves before Lawrence and pledge allegiance.

This time the troops were divided into two groups. The king and the eight earls' armies advanced on the front line, following the route of previous years to attack the Golden Wheat Family's Maiye City.

The team of vassals including Gervis would take a detour and specifically invade the castles of the smaller vassals of the Jinmai family.

Because in previous years, the Jinmai Family would summon all of their subordinates' minor nobles to go to Maiye City to help with the defense every year, and the territories of these minor nobles would inevitably be left undefended.

The main purpose of Gervis and his men this time is to continuously break down the castles of those small nobles, so that the vassals of the Jinmai family and the small nobles can no longer stay there, and it would be best if they could leave Maiye City directly.

As long as those small nobles left Maiye City, they would be like fish on a chopping board for the Principality of Jean, and they could be eaten however they wanted.

The vassal teams including Gvest now have a total of more than 30,000 people gathered together. When they arrive at the Earldom of Jinmai, they will be divided into several attack routes under the patronage of the eldest prince, presenting a comprehensive victory and invading the territories of all the vassal states of the Jinmai family.

…

The joining of Gervis's team of less than 200 people did not attract any attention at first.

However, when Gervis passed by a group of vassals of the Charles family, the young noble recognized Gervis's identity.

He immediately whispered to his companions about Gervis's identity.

In an instant, all the petty nobles who knew Gervis's identity looked at Gervis with fierce eyes.

In addition to this fierce look, there was a hint of other meaning in it, and Gervis quickly understood what this look meant.

Those were greedy eyes. When they looked at Gervis, it was as if they saw a pile of walking gold coins!

"Want to cause trouble? Haha! Then let's see if you have the ability to do so!"

In response to the hateful looks from the petty nobles, Gervis glared back without showing any weakness.

The military strength of these small nobles can no longer intimidate Gervis.

Even against those bronze knights, Gervis could use a critical strike with one sword strike and chop down several of them like chopping watermelons.

…

After the second horn sounded, there was still half an hour for the petty nobles to arrive.

Next, other teams of the Jones family joined the team of nearly 10,000 people one after another. Little nobles such as Pat, Fatty Cod, and others had also arrived. When they saw Gervis' team, they immediately stood beside Gervis tacitly.

Woo~woo~

The third horn finally sounded, and at this moment all the troops of the Principality of Zeon had assembled.

"Set off!"

"Set off!"

As the king and the eldest prince gave their respective orders, the heralds kept riding their war horses from the front of the team to the back, passing on the order to march.

Gervis hasn't seen the eldest prince yet, because the team they are in is too long. There are tens of thousands of people marching, and it is impossible to see the end of it.

Gervis and his team did not need to worry about the attack route of Gervis and his team. Everything was decided by the eldest prince and a legion commander sent by the king.

The commander-in-chief did not come with his legion, but joined Gervis and his team alone.

According to the discussion that Gervis had just heard, the legion commander was a golden knight. His main purpose in following this team was to protect the safety of the eldest prince. As for the siege battles, he would not interfere.

Because as long as he intervenes, it will most likely attract the Golden Knights of the Principality of Alban, which will be a disaster for other vassal nobles.

After marching twenty miles, Gervis and his team were completely separated from King Lawrence and his team.

On the first day of the march, Gervis and his companions did not encounter any enemies, because this place was still a day's journey away from the Earldom of Jinmai, and in between were lush fields.

"Gervis, do you think it's possible for us to attack King Hayden's City this year?"

In Fatty Pat's carriage, Gervis was drinking wine and looking at the scenery along the road.

Fatty Pat gulped down two gulps of wine, then quickly took the wine jug in front of Gervis and filled it up for himself, then asked Gervis.

"I don't know about that either! Why are you so concerned about the Southern Expedition this year? In previous years, you always rushed to join the logistics team!"

Seeing Pat drinking like a guzzler, Gervis felt sorry for his wine and replied to Pat in a bad mood.

"Hey! Isn't this because you won a reward for us? You don't have to hand over any spoils. What an attractive temptation!"

"I hope we can capture King Hayden's Castle this time and empty it out! Haha!"

Pat looked a little embarrassed. In previous years, he really didn't care about the outcome of the Southern Expedition. Anyway, he would definitely rush to be on the logistics team.

Sometimes when he couldn't get a job in the logistics team, he would spend money to bribe people to get the position.

But this year is different. Fatty Pat was directly dazzled by the benefit of not having to hand in the spoils. Instead of joining the logistics team, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"You actually want to plunder the King's City of Hayden. You have great ambition, Pat! Maybe this year your wish will come true!"

Gervis gave Pat a thumbs up. With the current strength of the Principality of Jean, it is really possible to march to the Royal City of Hayden. After all, the worry of Baiyan City has been eliminated.

With the strength of the Principality of Jean, as long as no other accidents happen, it can still dominate the territory of the Principality of Alban. However, Gervis is not sure whether it can break through the Royal City of Hayden. It can only be said that there is still considerable hope at present.

…

At noon on the third day after the team set out, Gervis and his team of more than 30,000 people finally arrived at the border of the Earldom of Jinmai.

Thirty miles ahead of them was a baron's castle, owned by a vassal of the Jinmai family. This information was just brought back by the rangers.

Thanks to "rotsen" for the reward!!!
