Chapter 166 God of Storm!
"grown ups!"
Soon, Lina handed Alice a steaming ceramic bowl filled with colorful ice cream.
"Hey, why can't I see any ice?"
Originally, Alice thought that this ice cream was just something different mixed with ice, just like the fruit mixed with crushed ice that she often ate. But to Alice's surprise, when she felt the coolness of the porcelain bowl, there was no trace of ice in the bowl, and it was colorful and very beautiful.
Out of curiosity, Alice raised her delicate hand and picked up the silver spoon, gently scooped a spoonful of light green vanilla ice cream, and then put it gracefully into her mouth.
"Did Gervis make this himself?"
Putting aside her identity as the Earl, Alice is also a woman, and women love delicious food the most. When Alice took the vanilla ice cream into her mouth, she felt the charm of this ice cream.
Although the chilled foods she had eaten before also had ice cubes added to them, the taste was exactly the same as the original ones. In fact, because of the addition of ice cubes, the taste was not as sweet as before. There was nothing special about it at all. Its only use was to cool down and quench thirst in this hot summer.
But when she tasted the ice cream, she realized that there was such a cold delicacy as ice cream in the world. She could feel the coldness without seeing the ice cubes, and she could taste the fruits even though she saw a lot of fruits. This surprised Alice more than Gervis killing the tri-colored deer.
There are many ways to kill the tri-colored deer, you can surround and kill it, or you can ask for help from outside, but this ice cream has to be created out of thin air. After all, if such a delicacy existed in the world, she would definitely enjoy it before Gervis.
"Yes, sir! Lord Gervis invented it and made it himself!"
At this moment, Alice's tone was no longer as depressing as before, but became cheerful. Thomas quickly emphasized his own great achievements.
"It's really surprising. I didn't expect he had such talent. Where did Gervis get these ice cubes?"
…
Gervis, who was far away in Storm Territory, didn't know yet that because he had killed two monsters in a row and invented ice cream to make money, he successfully conquered Alice's taste buds, making Alice finally begin to feel a little curious about her cheap husband who had no talent for cultivation.
While the caravan was making huge profits in Winterfell, Gervase was working hard to consolidate his realm within the space. In the afternoon, Gervase would personally train his guards and tell them clearly that their first battle was about to come, and the enemies they were about to face were the orcs.
When the guards heard that their first enemy would be orcs, their joyous expressions due to obtaining new equipment immediately disappeared and their faces turned pale.
Because the orcs have left a huge shadow in their hearts, they have grown up listening to their parents talk about how terrible and vicious the orcs are, and they are driven out of their homes by the orcs every year.
"The date for the battle with the orcs is set for one week from now. If any of you regret it and stand up now and voluntarily withdraw from the guards, I can forgive you for what happened. But if anyone dares to retreat in the battle, I will punish him by military law before the orcs do!"
"How should military law deal with those who retreat in the face of battle?"
Gervis's eyes swept across the faces of the guards one by one, and seeing that they were all pale, including Alex, he asked them sternly.
“Kill without mercy!”
"Very good! Anyone who retreats in the face of battle will be killed without mercy! So now is your last chance. Tell me if anyone wants to quit the Guards. If so, stand up now!"
Hearing the SS members subconsciously mention the consequences of retreating at the critical moment, Gervis was very satisfied, thinking that the military rules had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Then he asked again if anyone wanted to quit the SS.
Of course, without asking, Gervis knew that no one would choose to quit the Guards. After all, they already had the honor, the sophisticated equipment, and the generous military pay. Who would be willing to give up the honor and money and go back to be a serf, crawling in the mud for the rest of their lives, worrying all day about starving to death or freezing to death due to a bad harvest?
In this world, the serfs took life and death lightly because of their hardship. Although this did not mean that they were not afraid of death, they had less fear and more courage when facing death. If Gervis had not received the memories of the original owner, and had his own independent memories from the time he traveled through time, he would definitely be scared to death when he faced the battle for the first time and saw the bloody scene.
Sure enough, when Gervis finished asking the question again, not only did no one stand up to withdraw from the Guards, but everyone stood more upright than before, and the paleness on their faces faded.
"Very good! It seems that there are no softies among you. Then remember the military regulations and train well. One day, we will make sure that the orcs will never dare to set foot in Storm Territory again! Kill the orcs and protect Storm Territory!"
"Kill the orcs! Kill the orcs!"
…
A week later, Gervis stood in the vestibule fully armed. At this moment, he had put on his first set of full body armor and was sitting on the tall body of a unicorn. Except for the fact that the color of the full body armor was a little inferior, other aspects of his appearance could be described as majestic and domineering.
"Tell me, are you ready?"
“Ready!”
"Are you scared?"
"I swear to serve you till death!"
"Very good, let's go! Kill the orcs!"
"Kill the orcs! Kill the orcs!"
The 11 guards including Ike were wearing chain mail and leather armor, with sharp swords hanging from their waists and a round shield on their left arms. At this moment, the guards had been aroused by Gervis' words, their faces flushed and murderous intent spread.
If Gervis gave the order at this moment, they would charge forward without hesitation even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.
"Set off!"
Gervis rode on his unicorn and shouted orders to all the guards present.
Following Gervis's order, a total of twenty guards moved and marched in orderly steps towards the outside of the castle.
In front of Gervis were the ordinary guards of the second squad, a total of nine people divided into two rows, led by Audrey, clearing the way for Gervis. Behind Gervis were 11 members of the royal guard, also divided into two rows and following Gervis under the leadership of Ik.
Today, there is something different in Gervis's guard team, that is, Gervis' own flag is flying in the team.
Every noble in this world has his own family emblem and flag. The flag and emblem are the symbols of a family. For example, the rose of the Jones family and the eagle of the King of the Principality of Jean are the symbols of each family.
Gervase's badge and flag were only completed two days ago. Although they have not yet been reported to Winterfell and are not official yet, there is no problem with the badge and flag as long as the lord himself approves them.
Reporting to Winterfell was just a formality, just like Gervase naming the territory and castle, it just had to be submitted at the end.
Gervis's flag was designed and painted by himself, and then sent to Pat's territory for production. The flag was also made of the finest silk.
The overall appearance of the flag is in the shape of an isosceles triangle, and the edges of the flag are not flat, somewhat similar to the wavy shape of a fish fin.
The entire flag is black with red edging. In the center of the flag, a white four-clawed dragon is outlined with white lines. The four-clawed dragon looks even more majestic against the black background.
Of course, when the flag was made, Gervis did not tell everyone that it was a dragon, because the dragons in the mythology of this world all have wings. They are giant dragons with wings and huge bodies, not the kind of divine dragons that puff out clouds and mist in Gervis' hometown.
Gervis told everyone that the pattern on the flag was an extremely sacred mythical beast, on par with gods. He saw it in an ancient book, so he used this mythical beast as the pattern of the flag, allowing this mythical beast, on par with gods, to protect Storm Territory and Gervis's people.
Gervis finally named this mythical beast - The God of Storm!
