Chapter 335 Attack Target (Monthly Ticket Plus)
After Thomas left, not long after, Lille was led by a servant to the door of the study. After the servant informed him and Gervis confirmed again, Lille walked into the study.
Lill hunched his body, looking very restrained. Although he really wanted to see what the noble lord's study looked like, he still restrained himself and dared not look around.
"My Lord, you are looking for me!"
Lill came to Gervis's desk and bowed respectfully.
"Well, Lil, come over and take a look at this chart!"
Gervis ignored Lille's nervous look and pushed the chart directly to the center of the desk so that Lille could see it more clearly.
"Lil, do you know the city of Kagar?"
Gervis asked, pointing to a small dot on the chart.
"Sir, we know about Kagar City. It is the territory of Viscount Chad. Whenever we have money, we will dress up as ordinary people and go there for fun!"
Although Lill was illiterate and could not understand the nautical chart, when Gervis mentioned the name of the small town, he nodded and answered.
"Oh, do you know the situation in Kajal City? How many soldiers are there? Is the castle of the Viscount named Chad in Kajal City?"
"Sir, the last time we went to Kajal City for some fun, we heard from the five leaders that there were a total of 300 guards in Kajal City, but Viscount Chad's castle was not there. I heard that it was because the humidity at the seaside was too heavy, so Viscount Chad's castle was inland!"
Such questions had been asked to the five chiefs before. After all, a harbor city with nearly 10,000 people was considered prosperous, and ordinary small nobles would definitely have to guard it personally to prevent any situations from happening. So Lille was particularly impressed.
"Sir, do you want to go there..."
At this moment, Lille actually had some guesses in his mind.
"That's right. This time I plan to go to the Larkin family's territory for revenge. Since he sent Wright to rob me, I will go and rob him back."
When the time comes, it will still be Lille and his people who will go out to sea, so Gervis did not hide it and said it directly.
"Sir, if you want to plunder, I dare to say that you'd better not plunder this city of Kajal, because the port of Kajal is very peculiar, like a wine jug, with a very small opening and towering cliffs on both sides, only 70 to 80 meters wide!"
"And to guard against enemy attacks, Lord Chad also ordered chains to be hung on the cliffs on both sides. Once an enemy attacks, they can put down the chains to block the exit. At that time, whether they want to attack or evacuate, they will be unable to do so. In addition, stone forts have been built on the steep cliffs on both sides of the cliffs. There are many guards stationed on them, and they are impossible to break through!"
Seeing that Gervis actually told him the matter, Lill no longer hid it. If he really made a contribution this time, he could really become this lord's subordinate in the future. After all, this lord didn't even have his own crew now. So Lill carefully put forward his opinion.
"Oh? Such a strange terrain."
Gervis had never been to the city of Kagar, but he saw it marked on the nautical chart. Seeing that it was on the seaside, he asked Lille. He didn't expect Lille to know so much about it.
"Lil, you guys are coming from that side. If you want to plunder the coast of Lajin Territory, which place do you think is the most suitable?"
Since Lille is familiar with that place, Gervis simply listens to what Lille thinks first. Of course, Gervis would not completely believe Lille, it was just a reference.
Hearing Gervis' question, Lille fell silent, but Gervis did not urge him. After all, there were too many things to consider about this matter.
"Sir, if you just want to plunder wealth, you can go to a small town called Yancheng. The sea salt produced in that town is very famous in Lajin Territory, so there are many rich people there!"
After thinking for a long time, Lil finally spoke.
Gervis did not respond immediately. He knew that Lille must have another target, so he waited patiently for Lille to finish speaking.
After a pause of a few seconds, Lille continued.
"If you want to anger the Larkin family, you can plunder the town of Gib. There is a shipyard in this town. Our ships are usually repaired there, and the merchant ships we plunder will also be delivered to the Larkin family there in exchange for supplies."
"Dock?"
Hearing this, Gervis' eyes showed a hint of excitement. Of course, sea vessels cannot be used forever. Even if there is no damage, they need to be repaired and maintained after a certain period of time. However, Gervis's men have no craftsmen who know how to build and repair ships.
Originally, Gervis was planning to ask Alice for help in the future, but after hearing this news, he suddenly had an idea. If he could tie up all the craftsmen in the shipyard, then in the future, not only would it be possible to repair ships, but even build ships would not be impossible.
"Lille, how many defenders are there in this town of Gib?"
"Sir, I don't know about that! But because that place belongs to the Lakin family's own territory, and it is also the Lakin family's only dock, there should be quite a few defenders!"
"I saw people from the Coconut and Gold Knights there last time!"
Lill answered cautiously.
"The Coconut and Gold Knights?"
Gervis frowned slightly. He knew the Coconut Gold Knights, which was the most elite knight corps of the Lakin family and had the same status as the Rose Knights.
This is a bit tricky. Although Gervis really wants to bring back a few craftsmen and destroy the only shipyard of the Larkin family, which is also the best revenge, the danger is obviously much higher than attacking the small town called Yancheng.
"Okay, Lil, you go back first!"
After initially locking onto the target, Gervis stopped studying the nautical chart. After all, he knew nothing about La Jinling's situation, and he couldn't see anything special by looking at the nautical chart.
The real situation will be determined at that time.
…
The next morning, hundreds of people gathered on the beach of the seaside village, all of them fully armed soldiers waiting to board the ship.
Gervis mobilized almost all of his forces for this revenge plan, including 98 slave soldiers, 20 ordinary guards, 8 personal guards, and Gandalf and Nathan as external aids, as well as 50 soldiers from the Order of the Rose.
Including Gervis, the total number of people reached 178. In addition to Gervis's own 178 people, there were 50 pirate captives responsible for driving the ship.
Gervis still planned to sail away with only five ships this time. After all, he did not have enough manpower, and too many ships would only get in the way. Besides, his intention this time was more of revenge, and he was not going for plundering wealth, so there was no need to prepare ships to load cargo.
"Thomas, the castle is now in your hands for the next few days! Remember my instructions, unless there is something special, the castle gates must be closed!"
The soldiers over there were boarding the ship in batches, and Gervis took this opportunity to solemnly instruct Thomas.
Thomas brought the serfs here today to equip Gervis and his men with supplies such as water and bread.
In addition, Gervis had to tell Thomas the location of the dock so that the slaves could start mining stones from there in the next two days.
At this moment, the supplies had already been loaded onto the ship and the location of the dock was also known. As long as Thomas received orders from Gervis, he would return to the castle.
"Yes! Sir, I will definitely keep your instructions in mind!"
Thomas responded quickly. Wright's attack a few days ago had frightened him deeply. He almost lost his job as butler. Of course, he believed in Gervis' order to close the castle.
"Very good, then you can go back!"
"Yes, sir, I wish you a great victory!"
Thomas bowed respectfully to Gervis, then slowly turned around and led the serfs in the carriage back to the main road.
Half an hour later, all the personnel finally boarded the ship. Gervis stood at the bow and looked around, then shouted to the sailors on the deck: "Raise the sails and set sail!".
In an instant, all the sailors moved, pulling the hemp ropes skillfully and raising the sails quickly. As the sails were raised and the sea breeze blew, Gervis embarked on his first sea expedition.
Still owe 6 more!
