Chapter 311 Let Your Countess's Wife Collect the Body
Of course, although Gervis spoke of his lofty ambitions, he was actually thinking about how to trick Bernard into helping him deal with the pirates.
"Lord Gervis, I admire your courage, but I have to remind you that the other side has ten title knights, but you..."
Bernard was almost unable to continue speaking. If he didn't know that Gervis was a man of few words, he would have wanted to call him a fool as a sign of respect.
Apart from the numerical advantage of the pirates, those titled knights alone could wipe out most of Gervis' soldiers. Given enough time, even annihilating them all would not be a problem.
"So, Bernard, I need your help this time!"
Now that things have come to this, Gervis is no longer reserved. To be honest, if Bernard hadn't joined, he would have been defeated today without a doubt. But with Bernard's help, he might be able to fight against the pirates.
"Lord Gervis, I haven't taken action for more than 20 years. I have long forgotten how to fight! Moreover, there are so many people here. If I take action, I will no longer be an ordinary blacksmith!"
Bernard was not surprised that Gervis had set his sights on him, and looked at Gervis with a half-smile.
"Bernard, the church is ready to take action against the Principality of Jean."
"Did Alec tell you what happened in Rose Castle? The church tried to destroy the Jones family and plunge the entire principality into turmoil!"
"Eggs cannot survive when the nest is overturned. Even if you hide in my remote Storm Territory in disguise, if the ship is about to sink one day, where can you hide?"
Seeing Bernard's expression, Gervis couldn't tell whether the other party was willing to help him or not, so he moved closer and quietly told Bernard about the church's action. After all, Bernard's biggest enemy was the church.
"As for my men, don't worry, I will explain it to them afterward, and they won't be able to see any clues."
Bernard was also stunned when he heard what Gervis said about the church attacking Rose Castle. Alex did not tell him about this matter. He just said that a battle took place in Rose Castle and simply glossed over it.
The most important thing is that the church has now started to take action against the great nobles, which means that the situation is already critical.
"Bernard, I'm not afraid to tell you that I now also feel that the church is the biggest enemy of this continent. You only know that the church sucks blood from the nobles, but you don't know how terrible it would be if the church ruled the entire continent with divine authority!"
"Although I am still weak now, I believe that in the near future, my Storm Territory may become a place that the church dare not touch."
Gervis's face was calm. It seemed that these words were not spoken to win over Bernard, but to explain the small goals he had set. As for the big goals, of course, they were the strange creatures such as orcs, elves and dragons.
"In that case, let's fight! I just don't know if my skills have deteriorated!"
Looking at the confident expression on Gervis's face, Bernard almost thought that Gervis said that it was not the church but other small nobles who would be afraid of him in the future. After all, only the victims could truly experience the horror of the church.
If it wasn't for coincidence that he escaped after most of the church members had left, he would never have survived until now.
"Haha, then fight with me, Bernard!"
Seeing Bernard's agreement, Gvis was immediately delighted. Although he only had two titled knights including Bernard, he was riding a unicorn. With the strength of the unicorn, it was no problem for him to deal with a silver knight. After all, the title of World of Warcraft's gold medal thug was not an exaggeration.
"Bernard, do you want to replace your sword?"
Now that Bernard has joined, we must give him the best weapons and equipment. The Silver Knight's combat power combined with the Mithril Sword will have a combat bonus.
"I brought it! Alec's!"
Bernard patted the long sword hanging at his waist, and then quickly opened his shirt, revealing a piece of iron armor underneath.
For a moment, Gervis was speechless. Bernard must have been ready to help when he came, otherwise why would he even wear armor?
Bernard himself is a blacksmith, and even though he hasn't fought in more than 20 years, he is definitely prepared for these things.
Bernard put on the armor in the blacksmith shop after receiving the message from Thomas.
Originally it was just a precaution, after all, the pirates who dared to invade the lord's castle were not simple people. Now it just happened to verify his idea.
"Sir, there are enemies ahead!"
While Gervis and Bernard were talking for a while, a large black team appeared at the end of the road two miles away. When several guards saw them, they immediately reported to Gervis.
"Prepare for battle, spearmen, form a formation!"
These pirates followed Bernard. Although Bernard used his fighting spirit to run, he did not dare to consume it in order to maintain his combat effectiveness, so the two sides finally met in such a short time.
Gervis looked at the surrounding terrain and thought this place was good. It would prevent the enemy from using their numerical advantage to surround him, while giving him a good opportunity to deploy his troops.
"Ready muskets, ready longbowmen"
As Gervis gave orders, both the guards and slave soldiers started running quickly, and the carriages and horses were led to the rear.
Gervis was not planning to let his personal guards launch an attack. After all, the area here was not spacious and the other side had so many titled knights. If just a few cavalrymen got involved, there would be no way back.
Gervis's team was centered around spearmen, with slave swordmen and longbowmen on the left, and personal guards and 14 guards on the right.
By the time Gervis had formed his formation, the pirates on the opposite side had already reached two hundred meters away.
"Benny, go tell Viscount Gervis to surrender and I can spare his life!"
Wright couldn't help laughing when he saw Gervis actually set up a formation.
He was really worried if Gervis ran away, but since this ignorant little lord Gervis was actually prepared to fight him to the death, he would definitely die.
"Okay, Boss!"
As the saying goes, enemies are jealous of each other. Although Benny hated those serfs, Gervis was the culprit who made him lose his position as captain of the guard and become a fugitive. Now that he has returned so strongly, Benny is extremely excited and feels so grateful for the sword in his hand that he is thirsty for it.
"Viscount Gervis, our boss asked me to tell you that if you want to live, drop your weapons and surrender now. Otherwise, I will chop you into pieces and let your wife, the count, collect your body! Haha!"
"Ha ha!"
Benny certainly didn't want Gervis to surrender. He would rather see Gervis fight to the death, so he walked to a place a hundred meters away where arrows could not reach and shouted provocatively.
The pirates in the rear also laughed after hearing what Benny said. There were only a hundred or so people on the other side, and in their eyes they were almost dead.
Wright and several titled knights beside him also had joking expressions on their faces. Wright said that saving Gervis' life was of course fake, it was just to humiliate Gervis.
Wright had already activated his perception and observed the opposite side. On Gervis' side, he was the only titled knight, and he was a low-level bronze knight. The only one with some combat power was the unicorn. However, even the unicorn had no power to resist several silver knights.
