Chapter 418 Caroline was arrested! (Monthly ticket plus more)
After leaving the battlefield strewn with corpses, Gervis rode his horse directly on the road heading northwest.
Ahead in this direction is the Lakin family team.
The eldest prince is guarded by a golden knight. Gervis speculates that he will not die so easily and is likely to run to the Larkin family for help.
But perhaps this is also an opportunity for Gervis. The eldest prince only led a small group of people to break through and escape. If he can catch up with him, perhaps he can deal with him openly.
However, Gervis must catch up with the Great Prince before he meets up with the people of the Larkin family, otherwise he can only look for the next opportunity to assassinate the Great Prince.
Gervis rode his warhorse at full speed, and after three hours of continuous galloping, he finally saw a group of people in the distance ahead.
But at this time, Gervis frowned because the number of people in front was really too large.
"Could it be that the Great Prince's team has already joined forces with the Larkin family's team?"
Gervis quickly stopped his horse and tied it inside the woods, then he carefully moved through the woods and groped his way forward.
When Gervis slowly groped his way to the front of the team, he indeed saw the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was a little dusty at the moment, and he didn't even have a helmet on, but Gervis knew that he had no chance to assassinate him today.
Because the eldest prince really joined up with other teams. This team had thousands of people, all riding war horses. They were clearly the king's direct cavalry team.
"Damn it, the plan really can't keep up with the changes, and it was ruined by the Thunder Knights!"
Gervis cursed in his heart, but no sound came out.
Instead, he listened attentively, because the eldest prince was talking to the commander-in-chief who came to support him about what happened last night.
Just as Gervis had guessed, the eldest prince's troops planned to rest there for one night after capturing the baron's castle.
As the eldest prince, he of course lived in the castle, while the other small vassals under the king were stationed directly outside the castle.
Because the Principality of Zeon's troops had been going smoothly during this period, the small vassals felt that there were no longer any major threats, so they simply built a wooden fence around the camp without digging trenches or other fortifications.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, more than a thousand Thunder Knights suddenly appeared and attacked their camp. Because there were no fortifications to defend against cavalry, the Thunder Knights broke into the camp with just a charge.
The soldiers, who were already caught off guard, had no ability to resist the elite cavalry and could only be killed by the enemy in large numbers.
This time, the Thunder Knights were led by their commander-in-chief Wallis, who was also a golden knight.
Seeing that the troops outside the castle had been almost defeated, Wallis personally led dozens of titled knights to attack the castle, hoping to capture the eldest prince alive.
Fortunately, the eldest prince was protected by the golden knight, so he managed to break out with dozens of people in great danger.
However, although the eldest prince escaped, Gervis heard another piece of news that surprised him, that is, Caroline was captured by the Thunder Knights.
"Viscount Barris, hurry up and chase after the Thunder Knights! They have captured Caroline! You and Viscount Sina are both Golden Knights. I believe you can rescue Caroline from the Thunder Knights."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this won't work! All the Thunder Knights are riding war horses, and they have been gone for several hours. We can't catch up even if we want to."
The commander-in-chief named Paris shook his head helplessly.
"And His Majesty the King ordered us to come and protect you. Now that you are okay, we need to take you back to His Majesty the King immediately!"
The movements of the Thunder Knights were finally reported by spies in Maiye City. Under the orders of King Lawrence, they rushed here day and night, but they were still a step late. Fortunately, the eldest prince was safe.
"What about Caroline?"
The eldest prince sounded a little anxious, but no one knew that he was relieved in his heart.
"I believe that once the Thunder Knights know Miss Caroline's identity, they will not harm her! Now we can only go back to His Majesty the King and let His Majesty make the decision!"
Barris said slowly.
"Okay, then, Commander Baris, let's go to His Majesty now!"
The eldest prince pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the eldest prince and his entourage continued to rush northwest. The eldest prince did not even plan to return to the battlefield immediately to check on the conditions of his subordinates.
Only after the figures of the eldest prince and others disappeared at the end of the road did Gervis walk out of the woods.
"Caroline was captured! Who could have captured this woman? She must have been captured by the Thunder Knights. I don't have the strength to save her!"
Gervis sighed helplessly. His plan for this trip had failed.
However, compared to the assassination of the eldest prince, Gervis is now more concerned about Caroline's capture.
Thinking of Caroline, Gervis couldn't help but raise his hands and scratch them, recalling something.
"Why don't we go and see if we can rescue Caroline!"
After thinking about it, this idea came to Gervis' mind again. Although he felt that the hope was slim, he still wanted to give it a try.
"The Thunder Knights are rushing directly towards Maiye City with Caroline. They will probably arrive there tomorrow."
"No matter how powerful I am, I can't go to Maiye City alone to rescue people."
Gervis stood in the middle of the avenue, struggling with his conscience in his mind.
"How about I capture some more minor nobles and then use them to exchange for Caroline?"
Suddenly, Gervis came up with an idea. Although he didn't know whether it was feasible, this was the limit of what he could do at the moment.
Even if he became more powerful after taking the black kiwi fruit, it would be impossible for him to break into a huge army and capture someone.
Moreover, there are not only Golden Knights in Maiye City, but also Golden Peak Knights. The Marquis Lost who retreated from Baiyan City is a Golden Peak Knight.
Therefore, if you want to save Caroline, you have to find another way and cannot use force.
With this thought in mind, Gervis did not hesitate any longer. The eldest prince was bound to die, and it was just a matter of giving him a few more days to live!
The most important thing now is to see if we can rescue Caroline.
Gervis led out his warhorse and galloped back to his camp without stopping.
When he arrived at the camp, Gervis did not hide, because he had not succeeded in assassinating the eldest prince, so there was no need to do so.
"My lord, you are back!"
Seeing his master coming back openly, Ike was a little confused about the situation, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He just bowed and greeted Gervis respectfully.
"Well, is everything alright at the camp?"
"My lord, everything is fine at the camp!"
Gervis was out for less than a day and a night this time, so no one noticed that he was missing.
Moreover, Babette's captives had been frightened by Gervis, so they naturally did not dare to cause trouble.
They were afraid that they would be killed for exposing Gervis's cultivation and the secret of killing nobles from the same principality, so they were all very honest and tried their best to reduce their presence.
"Very good, let's all get some rest tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow!"
It was already dark by this time. Although Gervis wanted to rescue Caroline, it was impossible to travel at night.
…
Early the next morning, Gervis set out with his team, heading directly towards the Great Prince's route.
If one wants to use these noble descendants to exchange for Caroline, eight captives are certainly not enough.
Not only is Caroline the eldest prince's fiancée, she is also the granddaughter of the Lord of the North. Putting the two together, even a weaker earl would be enough to replace her.
The Great Prince's team had been swept by the Thunder Knights, so Gervis planned to take down the remaining castles on the Great Prince's route first.
If the weight is not heavy enough by then, Gervis might even try to get some from the Larkin family!
