Chapter 491 Alice's Sweet Kiss
Time flies, and more than ten days have passed.
During these ten days, the entire City of Glory was bustling with activity, and Bernard had already arrived at the City of Glory.
Dozens of blacksmiths and hundreds of apprentices from all over the city were called together to follow Bernard in forging muskets and small steel cannons.
Of course, even though most blacksmiths in the City of Glory can forge weapons and armor, their craftsmanship is naturally no match for Bernard's.
Therefore, the production of artillery and muskets was not high during these ten days.
Only five cannons were produced, while more than fifty muskets were produced.
Although Gervis was not satisfied with the speed, he could do nothing about it. He could only hope that Longfellow's attack could be delayed by a few days to give him more time to prepare.
That day, Gervis was sitting in his study practicing meditation when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Although the City of Glory has been busy recently, most things are naturally arranged by the earls, and Gervis only needs to check the progress of the muskets and artillery occasionally.
Even the training in the use of muskets and artillery was guided by people like Ike.
So King Gervis temporarily relaxed and practiced meditation in the house all day.
"Grevith!"
The door was pushed open, and Alice, wearing a light blue dress, long golden hair, tall figure, and straight white legs, walked in.
When she saw Gervis, Alice was the first to call out, her voice clear and melodious, very pleasant to the ear.
"Alice, why are you here!"
Alice has been helping Gervis handle government affairs within the principality recently and is usually not seen during the day.
Of course, it’s not that Gervis is lazy, but that Gervis has no experience in this area, and now he still needs to deal with the church, so he can only consider other things after the decisive battle with the church.
"Grevith, just as you expected, there is indeed a group of church spies disguised as a caravan outside the dark forest!"
"But those spies were quite powerful. Your direct guards and my Rose Knights, a total of more than 200 people, didn't leave them behind. We only killed five slightly weaker enemies, and the rest escaped!"
Alice wore a small queen's crown on her golden hair, which added a lot of embellishment to her beautiful face. After entering the room, Alice did not hesitate to sit on the sofa in front of Gervis.
"Did they leave anything behind?"
"They left behind! They left behind two carts of goods when they fled. Many items in those goods had complicated inscriptions on them. Now those items have been pulled to Rose Castle!"
Alice nodded and replied.
"Well, put those things away first! I guess they are the parts that make up the teleportation array!"
Although you may not be able to use it yourself, it is still worth studying and broadening your horizons.
"Grevith, even though we managed to defend against the group of people from the church that appeared in Storm Territory, I'm worried that other places may not be as lucky as us!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we need to focus all our energy on the City of Glory right now."
Gervais shook his head.
"But fortunately, we have already arranged defenses in advance and evacuated the serfs from those dangerous areas. I believe that the troops remaining in the territory should be able to hold out for a while."
"And the White Rock City Church's troops can't stay there forever. The cost of tens of thousands of people is huge. I believe they will take action soon. So as long as the war on our side is over, we will have extra strength to deal with those orcs!"
Seeing that Alice was full of worry, Gervis had to put aside his worries and began to comfort Alice.
In fact, he himself was not sure. After all, the church was launching a general offensive this time. Would the number and strength of the orcs be the same as in previous years?
If the orcs that come are stronger, the situation in the Principality of Zeon will be really dangerous.
"Um!"
Seeing Gervis's confidence, Alice's worries instantly dissipated. Gervis's miracles made Alice feel inexplicably trusting him.
"Here, Alice, these two books are for you!"
Seeing that his cheap wife was in a better mood, Gervis stood up from the desk, came to Alice with two brand new books, and handed the books to her.
"What book?"
Alice looked at the two brand new books. There were no logos on the covers. They were just two ordinary notebooks.
"You'll find out if you open it!"
Gervis smiled and motioned for Alice to open the book.
After hearing what Gervis said, Alice opened the book curiously.
"Basic Meditation Method... for my beautiful Queen Alice..."
"Gevis, is this a book for magicians to practice?"
Alice silently recited the first line of the opening, and her fair face turned slightly red for a moment, but then she thought of something and her attention was immediately diverted to looking at Gervis in surprise.
"Yes! Didn't you say the other day that you wanted to learn magic? But you couldn't understand the books I got from the magicians in the church, so I copied a copy for you so that you can practice on your own!"
Gervais smiled and nodded.
When Gervis finished speaking, Alice looked at the neat and clear handwriting in the book, and her heart was filled with sweetness and touching feelings.
Gervis is now a king after all, and even at such a critical moment, he still spent so much time and effort copying down the meditation method for practicing magic for himself.
"Grevith!"
Alice closed the book carefully and stood up from the sofa.
"What's wrong?"
Gervis was right in front of Alice at this moment, and after Alice stood up, the distance between them was very close.
Wave!
At this moment, Alice answered Gervis with action.
Before Gervis could react, he leaned towards Gervis, then gave Gervis a sweet kiss face to face, right on Gervis' lips.
Bang!
After Alice kissed Gervis, without waiting for Gervis's reaction, she immediately ran out of the room with a blushing face, holding two books, leaving behind only the sound of a slamming door.
"Why... why is it that women always push me against the wall first? I'm a real man!"
Gervis touched his lips, feeling Alice's scent still lingering around his nose.
He only felt a brief moment of coolness, and he hadn't had time to savor it!
"My cheap wife is like this, it's terrible. What's the big deal if she runs away after just a kiss? At least let me reciprocate!"
"Forget it, I'll send the other two to Caroline first! Hehe!"
Thinking of this, Gervis took out two identical books from the drawer of the desk again.
This time, Gervais made two copies, one for Alice and one for Caroline!
As for the others, Gervis was not a kind person, so he naturally would not tell them the magician's meditation method.
…
Time flies, and another week has passed in a flash.
"Your Majesty, the rangers reported that the church army has set out! According to estimates, they will arrive outside the City of Glory before sunset."
"Okay, let the Rangers continue to monitor!"
After saying that, Gervis stood up. The moment of a decisive battle had finally arrived!
Thanks to "The Wandering Bookworm" for the reward!!!
