Chapter 413 Eat the Black Kiwi
When Daniel and others decided to start chasing Gervis, it took only more than ten minutes for a team of more than a hundred people to gallop away on horseback, fully armed.
With their horses galloping at full speed, Daniel and his companions reached the next baron's castle in just a few hours.
When they saw that this Baron's Castle was exactly the same as the previous one, Daniel and the other small nobles were all very upset. Everyone was so angry that they wanted to cut Gervis into pieces right now.
"Grevith, I won't be a human being if I don't kill you!"
Daniel howled to the sky, cutting off someone's financial resources was like killing their parents. Gervis was not even going to leave any soup for them, so how could these vassals of Charles' family not be furious?
In order to quickly catch up with Gervis, Daniel and others did not stay for too long.
The third castle... the fourth castle... the fifth castle...
At this time, Daniel and the others no longer shouted, but their teeth were chattering and the whips in their hands were waving fiercely, wishing that the horses under them could grow wings and fly so that they could catch up with Gervis, the evil man who deserved to die, as soon as possible.
Gervis was not polite to the Charles family. He had taken over all the castles. If it were not for the lack of time, Gervis would not even leave those serfs hiding in the woods to them.
The Charles family only had six castles in total, but in the end the Charles family only got one. The other five baron castles were easily captured by Gervis without bloodshed.
…
When Daniel and others chased to the last castle, Gervis and his group were more than ten miles ahead. It was already dark, and Gervis was preparing to find a place to camp.
He didn't expect that the Charles family would send spies to follow him secretly, nor did he expect Daniel and others to catch up so quickly.
Fortunately, Gervis was also a cautious person. He arranged four or five scouts in the front and back of his team.
Just as the soldiers jumped off the carriages and began to set up tents, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from the rear of the team.
"Sir! There is a large group of cavalry coming quickly from behind us. They will reach us in ten minutes at most!"
The people acting as scouts in the rear were led by Laurie.
Laurie rode his horse directly to Gervis, without even having time to salute or be polite. After dismounting, he hurriedly reported the situation in the rear to Gervis.
"How many people are there? Do you know their identities?"
Hearing Laurie's report, Gervis frowned, thinking that his whereabouts might have been exposed.
"Sir, there are hundreds of cavalrymen in that group, but because it is dark and far away, we cannot see their flags clearly."
Laurie answered truthfully.
"Ike, notify everyone to stop camping and prepare for battle. Push out the artillery and pre-load the shotgun shells."
Although Laurie didn't know the other party's identity, Gervais guessed that it was most likely a member of Charles' family.
The enemy was coming with great force, so Gervis did not dare to underestimate them and immediately began to order the troops to assemble.
A few minutes passed in a flash. Fortunately, the number of people under Gervis was less than two hundred.
Moreover, the main force is still slave soldiers. These slave soldiers can be regarded as the elite among the elite. At this time, they have already formed a battle formation and are ready to fight.
…
When Gervis had just formed his battle formation, hundreds of war horses came galloping over from a few hundred meters away, stirring up dust and making quite a noise.
"Grevith, we finally found you."
Daniel and the others rode their horses at full speed, and when they saw that they had finally caught up with Gervis, they gritted their teeth and shouted angrily, enunciating each word.
Even though Gervis and others had already formed their battle formation and were on guard, Daniel did not feel worried at all. Instead, he felt indescribably relaxed.
Especially when he saw eight young men tied up tightly behind Gervis' team.
"Your name is Daniel, right? I wonder what you want from me? Do you want to start a war with me? Aren't you, Charles, afraid of the king's sanctions?"
When he saw the lineup of more than a hundred people from the Charles family, Gervis frowned slightly.
Because he had used his perception to check the strength of Daniel's group, this team of more than a hundred people actually had more than ten titled knights, and the lowest ones were all silver knights.
There was one person among them whom Gervis could not see through. He only felt that the person had a strong aura, which brought him a strong sense of oppression, just like the feeling when he faced Roll.
The former Grand Commander of the Rose Knights was at the peak of the Silver level, and Gervis speculated that this man was likely also a peak Silver Knight.
Of course, Gervis was not worried about his own safety, but in the current situation he had to use the black kiwi to deal with Daniel and others.
But if he did so, it would directly affect his plan to deal with the eldest prince.
"Haha, you are still stubborn even when death is imminent, Gervis. There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. Today we will send you to see the God of Glory!"
Daniel did not hide his purpose at all. Now that they were in the wilderness, they had nothing to worry about.
"If you want to kill me, then let's see if your swords are sharp enough!"
Since the relationship had been torn, Gervis knew that today's matter would not end peacefully. The other party actually had a peak silver knight following him, and it was obvious that they had come with a plan. It was not just because he had taken the credit for their route.
"bite!"
"As a noble, you are often schemed against by other nobles because of your weakness. You are a time traveler with a system. It's time to show your terror!"
"System Task: Kill the enemies who dare to challenge you!"
"Mission reward: 10 energy points!"
"Extra Reward: This will be the first step in your true rise. After completing the task, you can choose a kiwi fruit you have already obtained!"
Just as Gervis took the black kiwi fruit out of the system panel, the sound of the system issuing a task suddenly rang in his mind.
"Good fellow, system, you are satisfying me more and more!"
When hearing about the system's mission reward, Gervis was originally worried that after using the black kiwi, he would no longer be able to assassinate the crown prince.
But there is no rush at this moment. As long as he completes the task, he can get another black kiwi fruit with the same function.
"Then let you see my true strength!"
Gervis' eyes gleamed coldly as he looked at Daniel and the others who were already impatient.
…
"What should I do? That Gervis seems to be dying!"
"If he's dead, he's dead! I don't think it will implicate us. At worst, we can just swear to the God of Glory that we won't let anyone know!"
"Yes, we will tell them the amount of the ransom later. I believe no one can resist the temptation of more than 6,000 gold coins."
Babette and others who were tied to the tree stump also heard the conversation between Gervis and Daniel, and immediately realized that this was an internal fight among the nobles of the Principality of Jean.
Babette was quite straightforward and was a little worried that Gervis might die. What if they were implicated and the other party wanted to kill them to silence them?
Because no matter what the reason, killing a noble from the same country is a serious crime, and if Gervis really dies later, they will be witnesses.
However, several other baron's sons were more quick-witted and immediately rejected this idea.
However, regardless of whether they were really worried about being murdered, everyone agreed that Gervis would definitely die tonight.
…
"Charge! Kill everyone except those who are tied up!"
Daniel and Commander Dude looked at each other, and after confirming that both sides were ready to fight immediately, they could no longer hold back, and immediately drew the long swords at their waists, shouted, and then rode their horses to charge towards Gervis.
In the eyes of these silver knights, Gervis's slave spear phalanx was not worth mentioning. The real threat was the small steel cannon with a deep barrel.
Fortunately, they had seen the shooting of the small cannon, which could only fire one shell. With their super senses, they could easily dodge it.
"Cannon, fire!"
Gervis was chewing a black kiwi fruit with one hand, and he raised his other hand in the air and then quickly dropped it, signaling the artillery to fire.
