Chapter 146 Return
"Yes! Yes! Sir!"
Everyone, including Laurie, was shocked by the way Gervis appeared. Although everyone had started moving with Gervis's order, their eyes were still on the unicorn, full of disbelief.
Although these guards did not know that the beast Gervis was riding was a unicorn, they could guess from its huge and strong body and the strange long light blue horn on its head that it was a magical beast. Moreover, this magical beast was now ridden by Gervis. For these inexperienced guards, it was as amazing as seeing a knight riding a dragon.
Gervis was very pleased with the guards' surprised expressions. Seeing them cleaning up the scene so slowly, Gervis was not angry. He just rode on the unicorn's back and waited quietly.
After a while, the guards found ropes and sticks to make a simple stretcher, and together they lifted the body of the tri-colored deer onto the stretcher.
"My Lord, it's done! Do you want to tie up the horses behind you with ropes?"
After ten guards lifted the stretcher carrying the tri-colored deer, Laurie came to the front of Gervis. Because he was afraid of unicorns, Laurie did not walk very close to him as before. Instead, he stood two meters away, saluted respectfully to Gervis, and reported.
"Haha, Laurie, you are a little timid! Don't worry about the horses behind you, just carry the stretcher back!"
Laurie's actions were all seen by Gervis, but Gervis did not blame him. He still understood Laurie's reaction.
As for the group of horses brought by the unicorn, there is no need to worry about them running away because the unicorn is there. If he tries to tie them up with ropes now, Gervis is worried that it will backfire.
"Yes, sir!"
Laurie was already in his thirties, and his face instantly turned red when he was teased by Gervis, but he did not dare to refute. He responded to Gervis and then turned around and ordered the guards to return to the road.
After receiving the order, the first team carried the stretcher and walked out of the forest, while Gervis was at the end, riding a unicorn and leading the herd of horses slowly forward.
…
An hour later, as Gervis's team got closer and closer to the castle, they encountered more and more serfs. Each serf looked at their lord in surprise, exclaiming "Oh my God!"
The unicorn paid no attention to the crowd's exclamations, and walked forward leisurely with its head held high. However, the horses behind were in a state of confusion, all huddled together, and there were signs that they were about to run wild. These horses were all wild, and had never seen such a commotion. Dozens or even hundreds of serfs watched and exclaimed along the way, making them a little anxious.
"Be quiet, everyone be quiet. If you startle the horses, can you bear it?"
At this moment, Laurie and the others were no longer sitting in the carriage, but were walking around the herd of horses. Seeing the abnormality of the horses, Laurie, who was usually easy-going, started shouting!
The reason was simple, because Laurie had carefully identified these horses and found that they were all top-quality war horses, not inferior to Gandalf and Nashen's horses. If anything went wrong with such precious horses, even if Gervais didn't blame him, he would have to find a rope to hang himself.
Laurie's scolding worked, and the serfs all shut up. However, Gervis saw more serfs coming to watch from the town ahead, and frowned. He then told Laurie, "Laurie, I will take the horses back to the castle first, and you will be responsible for escorting the tri-colored deer."
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, the castle can be seen from afar, so Gervis does not have to worry about losing the tri-colored deer. Although the herd of horses is suppressed by the unicorn, as more and more people gather, accidents are inevitable. He is not worried about the horses, but he is worried that if they collide with the serfs, that would be his loss. After all, every serf is a scarce resource for Gervis.
After giving instructions to Laurie, Gervis rode the unicorn forward, and when the horses saw the unicorn speeding up, they all started running at full speed. Suddenly, the road was filled with billowing dust and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening.
"Master, you are back! Is this a monster?"
When Gervis took the lead and galloped to the castle gate with more than ten strong horses, Audry, who was on duty, opened his mouth wide and his legs became a little weak. Especially when he stood in front of the unicorn that was much taller than him, Audry even stuttered. He couldn't understand how the adults could just go out and ride on a magical beast and come back with more than a dozen horses.
"Yes, it's a monster. Laurie and the others are still a kilometer behind. Pay attention!"
After saying this, without waiting for Audrey to react, Gervis led the herd of horses into the castle gate.
"Yes... yes... sir..."
Audrey was still a little confused. After Gervis left, he walked up to a guard and pinched the guard who was also in a daze. The guard screamed in pain.
"It turns out that I wasn't dreaming. The master really came back riding a magic beast, and brought more than ten good horses. Good horses? That's right, good horses! Haha!"
Hearing the soldiers' screams, Audrey was finally sure that he was not dreaming. Then he suddenly remembered the more than ten horses that Gervis brought back, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
With so many horses, does that mean he can get a mount of his own in the future? Even if it's not the war horses that Gervis brought back, ordinary ones will do. The more he thought about it, the more excited Audrey became.
Gervis's castle was short of horses, so even though he, Ike and Laurie did not have their own horses, they could only ride horses when they were out on patrol or on missions.
Even if you get an exclusive horse, it does not essentially belong to you, but you can only ride the horse yourself. This can not only cultivate feelings, but also show off when you go home, and give people a different experience. More importantly, as a veteran, Audrey understands how important it is for a soldier to have a horse.
"Audry, did the lord just bring back a lot of horses?"
Just as Audry was excitedly falling into fantasy, Ik, who was training the guards outside the castle, came up and asked Audry curiously.
Just now, when Gervis passed down the gentle slope, there was quite a lot of noise. Ike of course saw it, but Gervis's horse was very fast, so he didn't say hello to Ike. Ike didn't know what happened at this time.
"Yes, and the master is riding a monster..."
"What... the Lord is riding a monster?"
…
After entering the castle, Gervis led the horses directly to the stable in the front yard. At this time, many servants had gathered in the front yard, and under the leadership of Thomas, they quickly came to Gervis.
"Sir, you... this..."
"Today when I went to the Dark Forest, I happened to see two monsters fighting. I saw that this unicorn was beautiful, so I saved it. In order to thank me, it volunteered to become my mount!"
There must be a reason. Of course, this is not to explain to his subordinates, but for future inquiries from those nobles. As for whether they believe Gervis or not, it doesn't matter. The more they explain, the worse it gets. And even if they don't believe it, let them ask the Unicorn.
"My lord, the glory of chivalry covers you!"
Of course Thomas had nothing to say about this. Not to mention that he didn't know the unicorn and didn't know the value of it, even if he knew, he wouldn't consider anything else. The more capable Gervis was, the greater his power as the butler would be. Therefore, the only thing Thomas needed to do now was to flatter him.
