Chapter 75 Attack on the Camp
"Recovering the benefits should be considered an accomplishment, after all, the carriages carrying the goods are in front of me. Could it be that the mission of teaching Lanny a lesson has not been accomplished?"
Gervis kept thinking in his mind. He guessed that the only possibility that the system judged that he had not completed the task was to teach Lanny a lesson, because most of Lanny's men in the convoy were killed by this group of masked men, and they only dealt with three or five remnants.
"What should we do? We can't just take people to Lanny's territory and kill them all!"
After figuring out the reason, Gervis became a little hesitant. At this point, he would definitely not give up on completing the mission. However, if he wanted to continue to complete the mission, he would have to fight with Lanny's men again. He was considering how to complete the mission as quickly as possible.
"By the way, I can go to that camp!"
Gervis slapped his head and finally remembered that there was a Lanny camp nearby. As long as he captured that place, wouldn't it be a good lesson for Lanny?
"Lord Nashen, tell them to pack up quickly. I plan to take over Lanny's camp while there are few soldiers there."
There were only more than 40 people in the convoy when it arrived in the afternoon, but it became more than 60 people when it returned in the evening. The extra 20 or so people must be those who were separated from the camp, which means that the camp’s defense is empty. Now is the best time to capture the camp.
"Yes, Master Gervis!"
When Nashen heard what Gervis said, he did not object or hesitate. They had not contributed much tonight and it was Gervis alone who took down the convoy. So they had to give it a try to attack the camp, regardless of success or failure.
With Gervis' order, the guards moved quickly and looted all the valuables from the corpses. The swords, leather armor and bows and arrows, whether damaged or not, were all moved to the carriage.
"Don't touch the equipment of the two titled knights in the convoy. I still have a use for them."
After all the bodies of the soldiers were searched, several guards came to Gervis and were about to strip off the equipment of several titled knights. Gervis suddenly spoke up to stop their actions.
"Come here, you two. I have something to tell you!" Gervis pointed at his subordinates in front and summoned them to his front.
"You guys will take care of the body of the high-ranking bronze knight, and then..."
More than ten minutes later, Gervis and his team finally cleaned up the battlefield and took away all the valuables. As for the corpses, except for the bodies of the Peak Knight and the two Title Knights of the caravan, all the others were left where they were, for Lanny to clean up himself.
…
Lanny's camp was brightly lit at this moment, and even the open space outside the camp wall was lit with torches. The wooden walls of the camp were already full of fully armed soldiers, all of whom were looking around vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.
Among the soldiers, the most conspicuous was a burly man in iron armor. This man was the knight that Gervis had seen last time.
The armored man is called Richie, a lord knight under Viscount Lanny. He is highly regarded by Lanny and was sent by Lanny to stay here permanently, responsible for guarding the camp.
At this moment, Richie no longer had the fierce aura he had when he met Gervis that day. Instead, he frowned and looked worried.
"What's going on over there? Is someone robbing the convoy? With Lord Ute here, nothing should happen, right?"
Richie kept wondering what was happening over there. The battlefield on the avenue was not far from here, only about one kilometer away in a straight line. In this quiet night, the shouting and killing sounds over there had already reached here, so Richie sent all the guards to the city wall to be on guard.
Although he knew something must have happened to the convoy, Richie didn't dare to go over to check and rescue them, because defending the camp was more important. Besides, there was Baron Ute, a high-ranking bronze knight, and more than sixty guards there. It shouldn't be so easy for them to be defeated by the enemy.
On the contrary, because more than 20 soldiers were assigned to the convoy, the guard force became insufficient and only 25 people were left.
"Sir, the convoy, the convoy is back!"
Just as Richie was frowning in thought, the soldier beside him suddenly pointed at the entrance of the trail and shouted loudly.
"You're back?"
Hearing the soldiers' shouts, Richie's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly looked up towards the entrance of the trail, and sure enough, he saw a convoy driving quickly towards the camp from the front.
But when Richie saw the convoy, his pupils suddenly shrank, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
The convoy was led by two strong horses, but the two titled knights who had set out were no longer riding on the horses. Instead, they were pulled by ordinary guards, and the number of people in the convoy was much smaller, only about forty people.
"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, the two adults are seriously injured, we are under attack!"
The torches in the distance flickered in the night wind. The people in the caravan began shouting from afar, and several people behind the horses quickly carried two people to the front.
"What happened? Who attacked you? Even Lord Ute was seriously injured?"
When Richie heard that Utt was also seriously injured, it was like a bolt from the blue. He tried to look at the person who was being carried over there, but even though there were torches outside, he could only vaguely make out the person's general outline, and could not see the person's appearance or other details.
"We were attacked by masked men. They had three titled knights. After the lord killed them, he was also seriously injured. Please hurry up and save the lord."
The people in the convoy carried two people to the bottom of the wooden wall, looking extremely nervous. Each of them was injured, with a lot of blood on their faces and leather armor.
As the people below approached, the people standing on the city wall still could not see their appearance clearly, but they could vaguely distinguish the style of the armor on the two people being carried. It was the armor that Lanny issued to his men, exactly the same as the armor on Richie.
"Open the door and let the convoy in!"
After confirming the armor, Richie's heart was already in a panic. He had no other thoughts but to quickly check on the injuries of Ute and the other man. Ute was the only vassal baron under Viscount Lanny. If he died in front of him, he was worried that he would be blamed by Lanny. Moreover, the ore in the caravan was too important. Richie would only feel at ease if the carriage entered the camp as soon as possible. Richie did not dare to delay and quickly shouted to his men to open the door.
Following Richie's order, the wide gate of the camp was slowly pushed open. The guards carrying Ute and another knight saw the gate open and rushed in quickly, shouting, "Hurry up, is there a doctor here? Help the adults stop the bleeding!"
As the people in front ran into the gate, the people behind the convoy also quickly pulled their carriages in.
"Let me see quickly!" Richie had already run down from the wall and came in front of Utt. The guards on the wall were also looking at the situation in the camp. No one noticed that several people in the convoy left the team when the torches could not reach them, and climbed up the wooden ladder next to them to the wall.
"Hurry up and save the lord!" One of the guards' eyes lit up when he saw Richie rushing over, and he immediately asked for help urgently.
There was a doctor in the camp, but the incident happened suddenly and the guards who went to call for help just now did not arrive quickly. Richie was worried about Utt's condition, so he rushed over in person to check on him.
