Chapter 225 Enemies Everywhere
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
In an instant, two completely different sounds were heard in the arena. One was the sound of a spear entering a body, and the other was the sound of a knight hitting an ice wall.
The Frost White Tiger instinctively felt the threat posed by the spears in the knights' hands and quickly released its third spell - Ice Wall. The Rose Knight on the left thought that he and his men were about to succeed, but unexpectedly there appeared in front of them a four-meter-long and three-meter-high ice wall. Caught off guard, four or five Rose Knights slammed heavily into the ice wall with their horses, and several Rose Knights fell to the ground in an instant.
The rest of the cavalry following behind also managed to turn their horses around and avoid a collision, but it was impossible for them to cause damage to the Frost White Tiger with the power of the charge.
However, although the ice wall blocked the Rose Knight on the left, the cavalry on the right did not encounter any obstruction. The more than four-meter-long knight's spear in his hand pierced into the body of the Frost White Tiger with the help of the power brought by the horse's sprint.
Roar~
The Frost White Tiger instantly became like a hedgehog with seven or eight spears stuck on its body. The attacked Frost White Tiger instantly turned around and knocked a Rose Knight and his mount away.
As a mid-level magical beast, the Frost White Tiger's vitality is particularly strong. Its body has been pierced by spears in seven or eight places, but it still did not fall down immediately. Instead, it became even more crazy, and ice explosions began to brew in its bloody mouth!
Bang~bang~bang!
The Frost White Tiger had now fallen into its final madness, and the ice balls in its mouth seemed to have no power at all as it shot towards the Rose Knights who were fleeing in all directions after their successful attacks.
Ice crystals splashed everywhere where the ice ball touched. It looked particularly dreamy under the sunlight, as if one had entered a world of ice and snow. Of course, this dream was only for the audience on the stage. The Rose Knights in the field all wished they could grow wings and stay away from this place. After all, if they were hit by the ice ball, they would be seriously injured at best, and turned into ice sculptures at worst.
Roar~
After releasing more than ten ice balls in succession, the Frost White Tiger used up its last bit of strength, stumbled to the ground with blood gushing from its mouth, its red eyes filled with unwillingness and anger, and its low roar like a bellows became the swan song of this mid-level monster. The Frost White Tiger finally lost its last bit of life.
"Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!"
When the twenty Rose Knights were fighting against the Frost White Tiger, the entire arena was surprisingly quiet. Everyone was covering their mouths or clenching their fists, extremely nervous. However, when they saw the Frost White Tiger finally fall to the ground, everyone stood up and began to cheer for the Rose Knights.
Although the twenty Rose Knights were not truly invincible in the battle with the Frost White Tiger, their fearless charge won everyone's respect. You know, the Frost White Tiger is a mid-level monster. If you encounter it in the wild, it would be difficult to kill it so quickly even if there are less than five Silver Knights.
Unlike the common people and minor nobles who were dancing and cheering, the central stands were much quieter. There were only applause and cheers from Alice's own people behind her, such as Gandalf, Nathan and others.
As for the earl's representatives and the royal capital's representatives, only Caroline and Kevin applauded enthusiastically, while the other nobles clapped lightly a few times and then put down their hands. It was obvious that the strength of the Rose Knights was not what they wanted. The stronger the Jones family was, the more difficult it would be for them to gain benefits from the Jones family.
Seeing the performance of the earl representatives, Gervis frowned. It turned out that the situation of the Jones family had reached this point. Caroline was the representative sent by the Lord of the North, and of course she stood on Alice's side. As for Kevin, Gervis was not sure whether he was doing it for personal purposes or representing his family.
However, it can be said that other earl families have already shown obvious unfriendly behavior towards the Jones family.
"The Rose Knights are indeed one of the most elite legions in the Principality. Even five Silver Knights had to be careful when dealing with this mid-level Frost White Tiger, but the Rose Knights were able to solve it with just a charge, and only a few of their own were injured, and no one was killed. The Jones family will surely become stronger and stronger under your leadership!"
"Alice, I saw that the spear pierced the monster without any hindrance. Are the Rose Knights equipped with mithril weapons?"
When Gervis saw the looks of those earls, he felt very unhappy but at the same time he also felt pity for Alice. This girl who was only 20 years old had to shoulder the responsibility of the family, while outside there were a pack of wolves looking around, wishing to devour the Jones family.
"Yes, Gervis, in order to protect the safety of Jones County, I have equipped the Rose Knights with mithril spears during this period. The mithril spears are just the first step. Next, I will forge more mithril equipment for them!"
Alice was a little surprised by Gervis' sudden cheers. She had noticed the perfunctory performance of those nobles, but she could do nothing about it. The other party was also a count's family. Alice had no right to force them to applaud. She could only feel isolated silently. However, Gervis' cheers temporarily resolved her embarrassment.
"Alice, the Rose Knights possess such extraordinary combat power. As long as they are equipped with Mithril equipment, they will definitely be able to kill those bandits without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
As he spoke, Gervis' eyes kept scanning the earl representatives, as if the robbers he mentioned were a specific reference.
The representatives had originally turned around and were looking at Gervis because of his sudden cheer. Now, seeing that Gervis was still looking at them when he said to kill the robbers, their faces turned pale and angry.
However, no matter how angry they were, they had to swallow this loss in silence, because Gervey only glanced at them and did not target them by name, and now they were in Winterfell, and they would not gain anything even if a conflict occurred.
Seeing that the earl representatives dared not speak out, Gervis's mouth curled up even higher. He was not worried at all that this would bring trouble to the Jones family or himself. After all, those who cared about this were secretly doing harm to the Jones family.
As Alice's husband and the lord of Storm Territory, Gervis knew very well that when the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken, so he glared back at them without any hesitation, and his eyes told them: I'm talking to you, come and bite me?
This is what Gervis likes most. He can insult others, and these people can only hold it in. Gervis feels so sour at this moment.
As Gervis was enjoying himself, his mind suddenly heated up and he remembered his mithril, so he continued, "Alice, I agree with your idea. As your husband, I will provide you with 50 grams of mithril for free to forge equipment!"
Wow~
When Gervis finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
However, most people did not believe what Gervais said. Instead, they thought that Gervais was crazy for bragging in such an occasion. It was estimated that only Nathan and Gandalf knew that Gervais could really produce 50 grams of mithril.
Although 50 grams of mithril is only worth 500 gold coins according to the market price, the problem is that all the mithril is in the hands of the church, and the church has restricted the purchase amount of mithril, so it is impossible to buy enough mithril from the church to forge weapons and equipment.
As for other channels, putting aside the premium, other earl families are now hoping that the Jones family will decline, so how could they sell this strategic mithril to the Jones family? Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Jones family, if they really want to equip 210 Rose Knights with mithril weapons, they don’t have to do it step by step as they are doing now.
"Haha! This is Baron Gervis? The second son of Lord Alice's vassal? Have you ever seen mithril? 50 grams of mithril is not 50 grams of silver! Can you really take it out? Haha!"
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha!"
These people were very angry with Gervis just now. At this moment, they all felt that Gervis was pretending to be cool, and a very brainless one at that. So they all took the opportunity to mock him and laugh.
"Haha! Poor fellow, you will understand once the Rose Knights kill you without leaving a single piece of armor!"
Gervais certainly knew what these people were thinking.
However, he regretted it right after he said that. After all, it was too high-profile. It's not that he was reluctant to give 50 grams of mithril to Alice for free, but there were so many people here and his words would definitely attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
Of course, what has been done is done, and Gervis will not complain about himself. What he just did can be regarded as a rage. Instead, Gervis feels that he has experienced a feeling that he would never have experienced in his previous life, that is, the feeling of throwing money at his wife and pretending to be cool in front of others and then getting slapped in the face.
Although these nobles would most likely regard his words as a brainless lie in the end, when Alice received the mithril he gave her and thought of her admiring and grateful look towards him, Gervis felt that it was enough.
"Thank you, Gervis!"
Alice didn't expect that Gervis, who was usually erratic and always talking nonsense, would have the courage to stand up and confront these earl representatives.
However, Alice thought of Gervis's performance at the party where she was choosing her husband, and she was immediately relieved. Wasn't Gervis like this back then?
"I don't care about my status, I do what I want."
Gervis didn't know that Alice had now changed her perspective on his rude behavior at the banquet.
In fact, Alice didn't believe that Gervis could come up with 50 grams of mithril. Not to mention whether Gervis had so many gold coins to buy it, even if he had the money to buy it, someone had to be willing to sell it to him.
It's just that Gervis was able to stand up and speak for the Jones family today, and she was grateful to Gervis, so whether it was true or not, Alice's gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.
"Don't thank me, I just thought those robbers were too shameless!"
Gervis smiled proudly. Today was a rare day. Not only did he see the smile of the cold goddess Alice, but he also received her sincere thanks. Gervis could feel that Alice's thanks were not perfunctory.
Thanks to the book friend “It’s so hard to name a book” for the reward!!!
