Chapter 408: Practicing the Wind-Destroying Slash
After Gervis and the other two returned to the castle, they announced the news about the eldest prince to everyone, and the group of lesser nobles almost went berserk.
However, after being comforted by Gervis and others, he had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
Two hours later, the troops of other earl families and the eldest prince of the Principality of Jean had already set out, leaving only the Jones family's troops outside Kalundborg.
"Grevith, then you better be careful. If it doesn't work, just wait for us to come back in this castle!"
Fatty Pat and a group of young nobles were riding on war horses, while other soldiers were already escorting thousands of prisoners in the open space outside the castle, waiting to set off.
"Don't worry! Go quickly and come back soon!"
Gervis waved to Pat and others.
Pat and others then urged their horses to head towards the castle gate.
Only after watching Pat and his group walking further and further away and disappearing at the end of the road did Gervis look away.
"Ike, let's go too!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ike responded quickly, then shouted to the team behind him: "The master has given the order, set off now!"
Afterwards, Gervis took the lead and led more than 200 of his subordinates out of the castle gate of Kalundborg and headed towards the Jones family's attack route.
When Gervis and others left the castle, the gate of Kalundborg was immediately closed.
At this time, a rose flag of the Jones family was flying on the castle of Kalundborg, and the more than 20 soldiers left in the castle were also soldiers of the Jones family's vassals. They were specifically left in the castle to prevent the castle from being occupied and destroyed by others.
Since he had promised Gabi not to destroy the castle in exchange for the gold coins, Gervis would of course do it.
Moreover, Gervis, the original guards and servants of Kalundborg, were not taken away. Instead, they were disarmed and imprisoned in the dungeon of the castle.
The only thing Gervis took with him was Babette, the baron's heir. This prisoner was worth hundreds of gold coins, and Gervis felt uneasy without him.
After leaving the castle, Gervis and his men walked quickly. When they walked three miles, they saw a deserted town.
The town was in a mess at this time, obviously caused by the eldest prince and his men who sent people here to search for supplies.
When they first arrived at the Earldom of Jinmai, Gervis and his team were at the rear and had not sent out their own scout cavalry, so they really did not know the exact location of the town in the Earldom of Karen.
Since the town had been searched and looted, Gervis and his companions did not stay any longer. They passed through the town and continued to march quickly. Each of them had a warhorse and a carriage to ride, so they traveled very fast. Finally, they left the territory of Baron Cullen's territory as night was approaching.
"Ike, let them camp here!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that it was getting dark, Gervis decided not to travel at night. He chose a suitable place on the border of Barony Cullen to set up camp and continue his journey tomorrow.
After giving instructions for everything, Gervis waited for three to five minutes before walking towards his tent.
Gervis's tent was always the fastest to be set up in the camp, and this made Gervis very satisfied with his subordinates' performance.
Back in the tent, Gervis first took out the simple map he got in the meeting tent. The map clearly marked the attack routes of the eldest prince and each earl's family.
This is to prevent unexpected situations from happening, so that the vassals of each earl's family can find teammates in time.
"I don't have a professional scout team, so I can't monitor the movements of the Great Prince and his men all the time. If I want to ambush the Great Prince, I have to get ahead of them and wait for them!"
Looking at the route on the map, Gervis began to think about how to deal with the eldest prince.
First of all, he needed to know the movements of the eldest prince, but he did not have a professional scout team, so he could only use the dumbest method.
As for how to deal with the eldest prince, Gervis' first choice is of course to assassinate him alone, which is the most likely way to succeed.
However, it is not easy to assassinate the eldest prince. Not only is he protected by thousands of troops, but he is also protected by a golden knight.
Although Gervis has the black kiwi fruit with incredible effects, he cannot guarantee whether it can be used against the Golden Knight because he has never used it.
Under such circumstances, Gervis' plan was to march quickly, run ahead of the eldest prince, then find a place to hide his team and set out alone.
At that time, find a way to sneak into the eldest prince's camp, and then take the black kiwi fruit to assassinate the eldest prince.
Although Gervis was not sure whether the Black Kiwi could allow him to confront the Golden Knight head-on, he thought it should not be a problem to escape from the Golden Knight.
Of course, Gervis only has an hour limit, so there is still danger.
After taking a quick look at the map, Gervis put it away. He had already thought of the plan, and now he needed to strengthen his strength as much as possible.
Then Gervis took out from his arms the secret martial arts technique that Baron Bertram had given him as a token of his gratitude.
"Wild Wind Slash!"
Gervis opened the Gale of Death and turned directly to the part about the practice method of the second level, then began to read it attentively.
Although Gervis has been busy these days, he has not neglected his cultivation. Whenever he has free time, he will practice his fighting spirit and also practice the secret technique of the Gale of Absolute Slash.
Gervis has already mastered the first level of the Wind and Breath Slash. Whenever he releases it, he can attract a faint breeze with dust around him, and the power of the sword can be increased to three times the strength.
However, Gervis was unable to practice the second level of Gale Breath Slash.
Because the minimum requirement for the second level of training is to start as a Silver Knight, although Gervis has a better physique than an ordinary Bronze Knight, he can also defeat a Silver Junior Knight with a critical hit and a sword strike.
However, every time Gervis wanted to try to practice the second level of Gale of Death, he always felt that something was missing and he had no idea where to start. He couldn't even bring out a breeze.
The reason why Gervis is now continuing to look at the second level of cultivation methods is because he is thinking about whether he can solve this problem after taking the black kiwi fruit.
After all, theoretically his physique at that time was equivalent to the strength of 50 junior silver knights.
This time, Gervis was not only prepared to remember the second level of Whirlwind's Last Breath, but also the third level, which was the highest level.
When the third level of the Gale of Absolute Slash is used, a violent whirlwind can be formed within a five-meter radius around the body, and the whirlwind is mixed with sharp sword energy.
At the same time, each attack can burst out five times the power, and as long as the fighting spirit is not exhausted, this secret technique can continue to be maintained.
Gervis had been drooling over the third level of the Gale of Absolute Slash, so now that he had such a good opportunity, he decided to try and see if he could use it.
Afterwards, Gervis sat in the tent and began to study the Gale of Absolute Slash without distraction.
…
Gervis stayed in his tent and studied hard, preparing to eliminate the powerful enemy, the eldest prince.
In the Charles family's camp, more than a dozen vassals of the Charles family were gathered in a tent, and the simple map was also placed on the table.
"The eldest prince just sent someone to deliver the news! Gervis has indeed started marching alone! He and his men have no more than 200 people in total!"
"Commander Dude, I think we can ambush Gervis's team here. What do you think?"
The dozen or so vassals of the Charles family sat on both sides of the long table, and at the head of the table sat a middle-aged man in his forties with a calm aura.
This man was the commander-in-chief of the elite army of Charles family. This time he concealed his identity and mixed into the team of vassals in order to wait for an opportunity to kill Gervis.
And his own strength is that of a peak silver knight. Now that all the vassals of the Jones family have been sent away by the eldest prince on some pretext, it seems to everyone that it is an easy task for him to kill Gervis.
