Chapter 113 Captive Miners

“Oh? Stealing food?”

Gervais is a little surprised, petty theft is understandable, but there are so many people at one time Did the petty theft mean that his territory was damaged? But he only walked around the road outside the three villages in the morning, and did not find anything unusual.

“Sir, these people are not from our territory. The village chief said that he has never seen them. The village chief has questioned them. They seem to be miners who came out of Lanney’s territory!”

Thomas said this in a low voice, took two steps forward, and before Gervais approached, replied in a voice only Gervais could hear.

“The miners in the Lenny camp in the buffer zone?”

Gervais was a little puzzled, these people are not lost, they should go to the territory of Viscount Lenny. Yes, how could he come to his own territory?

“Yes, my lord, according to their confessions, these people should all be forced to become miners. They have no wages and no family, so they want to come to your Storm Territory to see what they can do. You can’t be a serf.”

Thomas nods to Gervais, confirming the origin of the miners.

“so that’s how it is.” Gervais finally understood that these people didn’t get lost, but fled on purpose, and he didn’t yet know that these miners who ran to Storm Territory were lucky, and most of them ran away. The miners who returned to Lenny’s territory or waited there were all used by Lenny to vent, and they were all killed without leaving any place.

Gervais looked towards the serf who was still kneeling in front, looked thoughtful in his heart, so he said to everyone:

“Everyone raised their heads.”

One All the serfs knelt on the ground with their heads bowed, including the villagers who were in charge of escorting them. Gervais saw that the villagers were still kneeling on the ground, so he said to them first: “You guys get up first!”

“Yes, fief lord.”

After the villagers got up, there were only more than twenty miners left on the ground. When Gervais turned his attention to these miners again , but saw that one of them actually lowered his head, trembling all over.

“Huh?”

“The one with his head down, look up!”

Finding the abnormality, Gervais thought of a possibility, so without the ordered the man with the slightest hesitation.

At this time, several villagers who had just stood up also noticed the abnormality, and the fief lord also spoke. They were thinking of doing well, so two villagers who were close to the crowd immediately walked into the crowd. The person who was shiver coldly with his head down knew that he had been found, and shouted quickly: “Sir, please forgive me! The villain doesn’t know anything.”

Being carried by two villagers, Gervais finally saw what this man looked like. Isn’t this the Captain of the miner that day? The man who was ordered by Gervais to show him the mine.

“Thomas, put all these people in the mining space.”

It was confirmed that some of these people knew him, and Gervais no longer thought about it, and one order would take them all Locked in the ore space, anyway, there is enough space inside, just to lock these people, as long as you send someone to watch at the door, no one can run away.

“Yes, my lord.”

“Tell them, as long as I’m honest, I won’t kill them. By the way, Thomas, yesterday ordered your miners not to search!”

Although Gervais was a little surprised by the arrival of these people, it was just right. His territory is very short of people. Since some people recognize him, they can arrange to use them. As for killing them, I didn’t know them last night. Kill, Gervais won’t kill them today, he has better arrangements.

“You will reward these villagers later.”

“Yes, my lord!”

I received the order, under the leadership of Thomas , A full twenty-one miners were all escorted into the castle. The miner who had just begged for mercy knew that he had temporarily saved his life, so he followed the team and did not dare to cause trouble again.

To be on the safe side, Gervais looked towards the two guards next to him.

“Go watch on the city wall. If someone dares to step out of the space, shoot them directly.”

Although it is said that the small courtyard is protected by a wall, and there is also a guard on duty. , but the internal situation could not be seen. In order to prevent people from disobeying orders or people with ulterior motives from going out of the space, Gervais asked the two guards to go to the city wall to monitor, if any miner really did not obey the order and ran out Space, Gervais is never soft, just enough to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

After all the instructions, Gervais moved towards the gentle slope down the mountain alone. On the edge of the open space below the gentle slope, all the recruits hid in the shade to rest, and Audrey and Laurie saw Gervais’ silhouette. , hurriedly yelled at the guards for getting up and forming a line, and some recruits who got up slowly would even be whipped by Laurie and Audrey.

Under the urging of the two, the thirty guards quickly stood up in formation, divided into three columns, arranged in order of height and shortness.

“Your Majesty!”

When Gervais approached, Laurie and Audrey took the lead, beating their chests with their right hands, bowing their heads and beckoning to Gervais.

“Very good, it seems that you have learned how to salute!”

Although the battle strength of the soldiers of the little lord is not strong, they are not sloppy in etiquette. The military salute is well learned, and it is the same as the salute of those guards under Alice. This military salute is unified throughout the Dukedom.

Gervais didn’t need to ask, it must have been taught by both Audrey and Laurie.

“Listen to my orders below, everyone will move forward twenty steps!”

The spirit of the thirty recruits at the moment has nothing common with each other, and the best spirit among them is Alec and other ten people were full of energy and fighting spirit at the moment because they not only had enough food for lunch, but also ate rare pieces of meat.

Of course, the five people at the back of the crane were the ones with the worst spirits. They didn’t even eat a meal. Except for a few bites of food when they came in the morning, they just drank a little to quench their thirst at noon. Face wilted.

But Gervais doesn’t care about them, and only let them experience what it’s like to be hungry. These people will train hard in the future.

After Gervais’s password was issued, all the guards immediately moved and moved towards the front. Although the formation was not very neat, it was only the first day, and Gervais was not in a hurry.

When the recruits had taken twenty paces, and everyone was fully exposed to the sun, Gervais walked up to them and said to them, “Before we start training, let me tell you a lesson. I am going to choose 10 of you as my personal guards, and I will follow me in the future, so I hope you can perform well, the personal guards are not only equipped with the best equipment, but also the best treatment!”

When Gervais spoke, the eyes of the recruits below instantly lit up, and even the guards who were sluggish because of hunger began to cheer up, and all looked at Gervais with eager eyes.

They thought they were lucky to be a guard, didn’t expect fief lord to choose a guard, although these serfs didn’t know what the guard meant, but Gervais said to follow him, They can understand better equipment and better treatment.

As long as you are a human being, you will have a heart for comparison. Everyone wants to live better than others and be stronger than others. Now this opportunity is in front of you, and no one will give up, especially after the reward and punishment of lunch. After the incident, they deeply realized that if they want to live well, they must be better than others.
