Chapter 425: The shameless Gervis!
"Haha, then we can travel together. I'm so bored. I've been traveling for three days and there's no one to talk to me!"
Hearing that Gervis' destination was the same as his, the honest man Tred was extremely happy. He had been almost suffocated by the long journey without any communication.
"By the way, sir, what is your name?"
"Have you heard of the Potter family?"
Gervis was also smiling.
"The Potters?"
Treed thought for a long time with his eyes rolling, and finally shook his head.
“Never heard of it!”
“It’s good that you haven’t heard of it!”
Gervis felt relieved immediately.
Then he said: "I am from the Potter family, my name is Harry Potter!"
"So it's Sir Harry, I'll call you Harry from now on! You can also call me Trede, Sir Sir is too much trouble!"
Treed had no doubts. After knowing Gervis's name, he even dropped the honorific "Sir" familiarly. It was obvious that he was an honest man with a straightforward personality.
"Harry, let's continue on our journey! I really want to reach the royal city as soon as possible. I heard that it is very prosperous and I haven't seen it yet!"
"Haha! Okay, Tred! Let's go to the royal city together!"
Gervis was not planning to go to the royal city of the Principality of Alban, but since he ran into Tred's team, they could only advance together for a distance, and Tred was there to cover him.
Anyway, it seems that Tread is a simple-minded person, so there is no need to be too cautious when traveling with him. Just wait until you find a suitable place and then find a chance to slip away.
Next, Gervis had no choice but to disguise himself as a member of the Duchy of Alban's army and continued to move towards the heart of the Duchy of Alban.
And then he knew why Tred was so happy to see him. It turned out that Tred was a complete chatterbox. He had never stopped talking since he met Gervis.
However, although Tred's chatterbox made Gervis a little helpless, he also got a lot of useful information from him.
For example, Gervis learned from Tred why he took the team to the King's City of Hayden.
Originally, Trede's father had responded to King Hayden's call and went to the royal city.
However, the offensive of the Principality of Zeon was different from previous years, and Baiyan City was also captured by the Principality of Zeon.
Therefore, King Hayden increased the intensity of conscription and asked his direct vassals to temporarily abandon their territories and castles and gather in the royal city to fight against the all-out war launched by the Principality of Zeon.
And it was precisely because of this that Treed rushed to the royal city with the last strength of the castle. In addition to Treed, many teams from the entire Principality of Alban were already on the way, heading towards the Royal City of Hayden.
And Tremont also thought that Gervis was a young nobleman who was also heading to the Royal City of Hayden.
After traveling with Tread, Gervis had been looking for a suitable hiding place, but he had seen one or two villages but still no large tracts of dense forests.
It was not until the evening of the next day that they arrived at a small town in the viscount's territory.
There is a large forest outside the town, which can hide Gervis and his companions. Unfortunately, when Gervis saw the townspeople coming in and out of the woods, he realized that it would be better to live in the town than to hide in the woods.
After all, if you live openly in a small town, no one will suspect you for a while, but if you hide in the woods and are discovered, people will definitely become suspicious.
After giving up hiding in the woods, Gervis and Tread came to the small town, where they encountered four teams of hundreds of people from small nobles.
This made Gervis speechless, and he felt like he was walking into a big pit step by step.
…
After meeting these noble teams, although no one had known each other before, it did not prevent several noble sons from having dinner together.
There is an inn in the town, and all these noble descendants live in this only inn.
Although the hotel looks a bit shabby on the outside, it is clean and tidy inside.
Dinner was also served in this inn. The chefs were private chefs brought by several minor nobles, and the ingredients were purchased from the small town.
"Have you heard? The troops from the Principality of Zeon seem to have reached the outskirts of Maiye City!"
"Really? How come it's so fast? In previous years, wouldn't it take more than a month to reach Maiye City?"
"Of course it's true. I met a team of messengers on the road yesterday. We happened to meet them when they were feeding their horses on the roadside, and that's how I got the news from them! This year, it seems that the Principality of Zeon is going to launch a full-scale attack! Even Baiyan City has been breached!"
"Baiyan City has been breached? Aren't we in danger this year?"
"Hush! Keep your voice down! That's why the king summoned all of us to the royal city to prepare for a decisive battle with the Principality of Jean! Otherwise, if we stay in the castle, we will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Principality of Jean!"
The most well-informed nobleman was named Anlis. He was wearing a gorgeous set of armor. Although it was also leather armor, it was decorated with many patterns. It was both beautiful and generous, forming a sharp contrast with the somewhat old leather armor worn by Tread and the others.
Therefore, the seats of the people before the meal were naturally divided into high and low levels, and Anlis, who was wearing gorgeous armor, naturally sat in the center of the round table.
Gervis, Trede and others sat on both sides. Trede and others sat on the side because they guessed that the other party was of extraordinary status and they were not as good as him.
As for Gervis, he wanted to keep a low profile, so he didn't care about these things.
After hearing Anlis' words, everyone fell silent, and Tred and others showed worried looks.
If the Duchy of Alban is really annexed by the Duchy of Jean, their titles will most likely be lost.
Although Gervis also looked worried on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart. Since Alice and others had arrived at the city of Maiye, it meant that he could return now.
"But don't worry. Our Principality of Alban will definitely not be defeated that easily, and the church will definitely help us secretly."
Seeing the expressions of Gervis and the others, Anlis felt very proud and satisfied, so he began to pretend to comfort them.
"Oh, right! There's another strange story! Have you heard about it?"
"What's the strange news?"
Treed and the others were still unresponsive to what had been said before, but Gervis, the fake Harry, was not worried about the war in the Principality of Alban, so he immediately asked out of curiosity.
"I also got this strange news from that messenger team."
Anlis was very pleased with Gervis's strong curiosity, so he put on enough posture before continuing slowly.
"A strange thing happened in the Earldom of Jinmai a few days ago. There was a Viscount named Gervis in the Principality of Jean. With a team of more than 200 people, he captured 20 castles in the Earldom of Jinmai in three or four days and captured 20 noble heirs!"
"hiss……"
"How is this possible!?"
Treed and his companions gasped, their eyes widened, and their mouths were so big that eggs could be stuffed in them.
Gervis was equally surprised, but he was surprised to hear his own name here.
"I'm telling you, this news is absolutely true. My uncle is the king's treasurer. There's no way the messenger team could lie to me!"
"I heard that this Viscount Gervis is very shameless and cunning. He is the husband of a countess. With the help of the countess, he got 50 catapults. Whenever he reaches the bottom of the castle, he will use the catapults to smash the castle down regardless of the loss!"
Anlis held his head high, indicating that his information was absolutely reliable.
"It's so brutal. Fortunately, we have been called to the Royal City by the King. Otherwise, even our Baronial Castle would not be able to withstand 50 catapults!"
"This... is so shameless! And he's such a hateful gigolo. That countess must be very old! Otherwise, why would she take such good care of him!"
"What a shameless fellow, a noble scum!"
Tremont and the others had the same reaction, but their focus was different.
Some people lamented the number of catapults, some secretly cursed Gervis for being shameless, and Gervis wanted to draw his sword on the spot and kill the two noble sons who called him a pretty boy.
"Besides, this is nothing. This Gervis behind did something you can't imagine!"
Anlis started to keep the secret again.
"It's a shame you didn't become a bard!"
Listening to Anlis speaking slowly, adjusting the rhythm from time to time, Gervis rolled his eyes.
"What the hell, luckily I'm the person involved, otherwise I'd be craning my neck like Tred and the others, waiting for you to speak out."
