Chapter 324 Battle Casualties
Then Gervis put the red kiwi fruit into his mouth. It still melted in his mouth, and the sweet and warm current still lingered on the tip of his tongue. Gervis found that eating this kiwi fruit was also a great enjoyment.
When the warmth of all the red kiwis entered his stomach, Gervis suddenly felt something strange in his body. He felt indescribably warm and comfortable all over, and the original feeling of numbness and weakness instantly weakened a lot.
"Can it really heal injuries?"
Gervis was overjoyed. After the numbing feeling subsided, he could feel his body strength obviously recovering. Just now he needed to lean on the headboard to sit up, but now he no longer needed to do that.
As the warmth lasted longer and longer, Gervis' strength gradually recovered, and as he felt the warmth flowing through his body, his body seemed to have undergone extremely subtle changes.
This change was unpredictable. Gervis immediately sensed it carefully, wanting to see what was different from before.
After concentrating for four or five minutes, Gervis finally realized the reason. He felt that he had become "lighter". It seemed that there was an invisible pressure on him between heaven and earth. This suppression imprisoned the cultivation and evolution of every living being.
But after eating the red kiwi, this suppression underwent an extremely subtle change, and the intensity weakened a little!
"What is this pressure? Suppression from the Heavenly Dao? Suppression from Boss Rong Guang? Suppression from the World God?"
This kind of suppression has been with humans since birth, so Gervis could not detect it at all, but now it has weakened a little, and he has captured it with the keen insight of his title Knight.
In fact, Gervis didn't know that the training of the titled knight was just like the cultivation in the novels of his previous life, which also went against the will of heaven.
Although this world does not follow the laws of nature, it is against the law of growth of all things, so it will naturally be suppressed by some force. However, such suppression is imperceptible to ordinary people, and can only be perceived after reaching the level of Golden Knight.
Gervis could sense it now, entirely because of the attainments of the red kiwi fruit.
"It can't be atmospheric pressure, right?"
Gervis now felt more relaxed physically and mentally than ever before, just like a person who suddenly returned to land from water and could move his hands and feet much more freely without so much resistance. Of course, this was a metaphor, and the slight reduction in pressure that Gervis felt now was not so obvious and exaggerated.
"But no matter what, the injury has finally recovered!"
As the warm current gradually disappeared, Gervis no longer lay there. If he could obtain energy points one minute earlier to exchange for purple kiwi fruit, Alice could keep one more warhorse.
Gervis didn't even ring the bell to ask Anna to help him get up. He put on his clothes, armor, washed himself, took his sword, and walked downstairs.
"grown ups!"
When Gervis came downstairs, the servants were all a little surprised to see Gervis coming down, but fortunately, long-term training prevented them from being rude and they all bowed and greeted him respectfully.
"Little Gervis?"
After Gervis walked out of the inner castle gate, Gandalf, who was walking towards the inner castle not far away, saw Gervis and shouted in surprise. Then he reacted and asked Gervis in a blaming tone: "Why did you get down so soon? Why don't you lie down and rest?"
"Father, my injury has healed. It's too boring to stay in bed!"
Gervis could feel the concern of his rough father, so he did not dare to neglect it and responded immediately.
Gandalf came to Gervase and patted him on the shoulder. He suddenly realized that Gervase was wearing leather and chain mail, and was very puzzled.
"Then why are you wearing armor? Even if your wound has healed, you just woke up from an injury after all, so you should rest more!"
"Father, after this battle with the pirates, I realized that my strength is still far from enough, so I want to activate the purple elf bug and fight the orcs right away!"
Gervis was also helpless. If he met someone else, he wouldn't have to explain too much, but facing his father, he still needed to make up a reliable reason.
"Practice depends on daily hard work and persistence. Even if you want to improve your strength, you don't have to rush for one or two days!"
Gandalf frowned and criticized Gervais.
"Got it, father! I just felt like doing it for a moment! I'm leaving now, father. I heard that Alice has many war horses that are dying. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Gervase didn't want to stay there any longer, otherwise he would be scolded by Gandalf for a long time, so he quickly avoided Gandalf and ran towards the center of the vestibule.
"Little Gervis!...Be careful!"
Gandalf had no good experience in teaching his own children. Seeing Gervis running away on his own, he could only give him a helpless reminder. Then he changed direction and walked towards the stable, ready to ride his horse to the stable to check out his horse, as his Dahua was also in the stable.
…
"grown ups!"
When Gervis came to the wooden house in the front yard, Ike and others were still resting.
"Ike, you guys come with me!"
Gervis had just woken up and didn't know the casualties of his men in the battle two days ago. However, he was relieved to see that there were still seven personal guards. Now it was important to earn energy points, so Gervis planned to ask while on the way.
"Yes! Sir!"
Soon, Gervis led Ik and seven other men and rode their horses towards the prison cage on the seashore.
"Ike, what happened on your side after I lured Wright away that day?"
Because the unicorn also had four or five knife wounds, Gervis did not ride the unicorn, but directly changed to an ordinary horse. Now, taking advantage of the time on the road, Gervis began to ask about the things he cared about most.
"Sir, that day when you led the pirate leader away..."
Wright told everything that happened afterwards in detail!
"Ike, you guys did a great job and didn't let me down!"
Upon hearing that not only had all the pirates who attacked Binhai Town been killed, but also more than a hundred pirates who had rushed from the seaside had been captured, Gervis was satisfied and gave Ike a verbal praise.
This is the advantage of this World Lord War. As long as the major forces remain stable, the chances of the soldiers below being defeated will be smaller.
Because most of these soldiers were selected from serfs, the laws of this world were even more cruel to the serf class. If one deserted, not only would he be in trouble, but his family would also be implicated. In the worst case, they would all be hanged.
Of course, in the battle of Gervis that day, the slave soldiers were actually the main fighting force. It was because of them that they were able to steadily resist the attacks of the pirates that were several times greater than their own.
"Have you calculated the casualties in the battle the day before yesterday?"
After knowing the outcome of the battle, Gervis was most concerned about the casualties. The number of enemies that day was too large, and Gervis was still a little unsure.
"Sir, we have counted the number of our soldiers. Four of them were killed in the battle that day. Two of them were guards under Audrey, and the other two were slave spearmen!"
"In addition, there are seven people seriously injured and more than twenty people slightly injured!"
Ike carefully gave the details of the casualties.
Hearing this, Gervis couldn't help but fall silent. Although compared to the almost complete annihilation of the invading pirates, his casualties were already considered a great victory.
But these soldiers are real lives, not numbers in movies and books. This is the first time that Gervis has encountered the death of one of his subordinates, so it is inevitable that he has some complicated emotions.
After a moment's silence, Gervis took a deep breath and asked Ike, "All the pirates who came down from the pirate ships were captured! Were the ships captured?"
"We have seized them, sir! Most of the pirates on the ship had already disembarked, so the four or five pirates who stayed behind were unable to drive away. With the help of the Rose Knights, we quickly seized those pirate ships!"
"We have already sent people to guard the seashore. Earl Alice has also sent fifty Rose Knights to help guard the area. She said that with so many pirates, there must be many more ships somewhere overseas."
"kindness!"
There are nearly a thousand pirates, so it is impossible that there are only a few ships. These five ships are probably just baits to lure the pirates away from the mountain. Otherwise, if there were more than a dozen large ships, Gervis would probably not think of going to the seaside to annihilate the pirates.
Having ships means that his revenge plan can be truly implemented, which also makes Gervis feel at ease. The casualties of the soldiers must be properly compensated after returning, but revenge is equally important.
After running fast for nearly an hour, Gervis soon arrived at the beach. Gervis looked at the beach from a distance and saw that there were indeed five ships parked not far from the beach.
Gervis was not planning to go over and check it out right now. Right now, the most important and urgent thing was to earn energy points to treat the warhorse, so Gervis brought his personal guards directly to the cage by the sea.
The few orcs in the purple elf worm space no longer posed any threat to Gervis and his guards. Under Gervis's full force, even the orc leader could not withstand his several critical hits and sword cuts.
It took less than 20 minutes for Gervis to gain 4 energy points, which, together with the original 6 points, made up exactly 10 energy points. Gervis immediately exchanged the energy points for purple kiwifruit in the space.
Thanks to "Li Zuozhu" and "Shen Moumouya" for the reward!!!
