My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 387 The King’s Reward! (2 in 1)

Wait for those serfs to return to the campsite and continue to carry wood.

Gervais just looked at the nearly 100-meter city wall in front of him, which was shrouded in raging fire, and gave instructions to Ike and the others contentedly, ready to return to the camp.

Although the 100-meter city wall is only a small section for the three-mile-long Baiyan City, what Gervais needs to open is a gap to enter the city, not directly destroy Baiyan City.

In addition, the manpower in his hands is also limited. The twenty-odd muskets can only suppress the city wall in this section at most, so he is not prepared to pay attention to other places.

When Gervais returned to the camp gate with a face full of equinoxes, the small nobles in front of the camp gate were still gathered here, and they were constantly whispering and talking.

From a distance Gervais heard the main content of their discussion.

It’s about his way of burning the city wall, because these little nobles don’t understand what Gervais is doing?

Can fire burn rocks? How is this possible, as long as the brain is not broken, everyone knows that even if it is burned for a year, it will not cause any harm to the city wall.

But now that Gervais is doing it, they can’t help discussing spiritedly. If it weren’t for Gervais’ performance in the past period, they would have questioned it loudly.

“Little Gervais, why did you set fire under the city wall?”

Gandalf was also in the crowd of small nobles at this time, although the small nobles did not dare to discuss it openly Bad words from Gervais, but bad speculation in private is always there.

As the father of Gervais, Gandalf was very upset. After seeing Gervais coming back, he walked out of the crowd and moved towards his most proud young son.

“father, I’m going to set fire to the city wall!”

Gervais looked at his cheap dad with a trace of anxiety, while the other nobles craned their necks and waited for him to answer, So tell the truth.

hua!

“What? Is it really burning the city wall?”

“Yeah, doesn’t Viscount Gervais know that the city wall is full of jins of rock? Is it built?”

“Isn’t Viscount Gervais kidding us?”

“We’re going to complain to Lord Count!”

Little nobles There was an uproar, and everyone just thought that Gervais had some deep meaning, so the discussion was still vague, and no ugly words were said.

But now that Gervais has confessed, everyone can no longer be silent.

Most of these minor nobles still care a lot about the king’s reward.

Because of Gervais’s little steel cannon, they had hope in Gervais, but now this hope is shattered, and suddenly they feel unbalanced, and they feel that Gervais is joking about their dreams.

“Little Gervais, the fire can’t burn down the city wall, it’s made of thousands of jins of rock!”

Gandalf also began to worry, if Gervais didn’t have a good explanation, maybe will provoke anger.

Although they have the status of count husbands, these little nobles dare not speak out, but it is still possible to isolate Gervais in private.

If a noble is isolated, it is a very bad thing, and it will have a great negative impact on itself and the development of the territory.

“I know the city wall of White Rock City is made of rock, but I’m still going to burn it, father, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”

Gervais listens The comments of these little nobles are not angry, but now they are deliberately not wanting to make these little nobles feel good, and they are going to worry about them for a few more days, which is regarded as the price for them to talk about themselves in private.

If it weren’t for the existence of Alice, if it weren’t for the fact that the king’s reward was allocated to the count family, Gervais would be too lazy to bring so many people to work together, wouldn’t it be delicious to eat alone?

“But…”

Gandalf doesn’t know what Gervais wants to do, but he still wants to persuade Gervais, lest Gervais really do something stupid and ruin his first paragraph Fame that has been accumulated over time.

“father, where’s Alice?”

Gervais didn’t give Gandalf a chance to continue talking, but Alice didn’t even tell him about the follow-up part of his plan, lest he have to explain it. The principle, so the topic was directly moved.

“Little Gervais, the king has just sent a herald here to summon Lord Count, and now Lord Count has gone to the camp to the north!”

Gandalf saw that Gervais couldn’t enter the oil and salt, Knowing that Gervais has his own opinions, he stopped continuing to persuade and answered Gervais’ questions.

“The king summoned Alice?”

Gervais looked towards the small steel cannon that had been re-covered with cowhide cloth. Gervais guessed that the king summoned Alice was probably related to the small steel cannon. related.

But Gervais is not in a hurry. Now at this critical juncture in the Southern Expedition, the king is the last person who doesn’t want to make a big mess.

“Ike, Laurie, you are here to supervise those serfs carrying lumber, and when the time comes, continue to cover by the way, must keep the fire burning and not extinguished!”

Project It has been arranged, Gervais is going to go back to the camp to make up for sleep, so he gives a command to Ike.

Nowadays, some of the thousands of serfs are loading wood, and some are cutting down trees in the distance, but they don’t have to worry about running out of wood.

And there are no defenders on the 100-meter-long city wall covered in flames. After all, if you stay on it, it will become a barbecue, so it is still safe for these serfs to add firewood. .

No need for Gervais to worry at all.

“Yes, my lord!”

Ike and Laurie respectfully accepted their orders.

“Father, I’m a little tired, I’ll go back to the camp to rest first! You don’t have to worry, I have my own way!”

After explaining Ike, Gervais arrived Beside his cheap dad, he whispered a few words in his ear.

With that, without waiting for Gandalf to answer, Gervais yawned and led the unicorn back to the camp.

……

In the king’s camp to the north, the eight counts were called together by the king at this moment.

“From yesterday afternoon until now, we have paid a total of 1,500 casualties, including two noble lords.”

“The main cause of such casualties is The reason is because of those trebuchets on the city wall!”

The king sat on the throne and said to the count.

The count below did not answer the call and remained silent.

Although the 1,500 casualties were many, most of them belonged to the Charles family.

The other count families had only one or two hundred people evenly spread out. For a city like Baiyan City, which could be called a defensive fortress, one or two hundred people was not a big loss.

The moment they were ready to attack the city, they already had this psychological expectation.

King Lawrence didn’t speak when he saw the count below, didn’t care, but looked towards Alice.

“Alice, I heard that your husband, Viscount Gervais, is very good. He set up a medical squad to help the wounded on the battlefield!”

“Your Majesty, it seems that It’s true, but it was made by Gervais privately, I don’t know the specific situation!”

Squad Alice, Gervais’s medical nurse, of course knew that, in order to avoid rumors, she also specially asked Gervais to take those girls Take it with you.

I just didn’t expect. I learned from my grandfather yesterday that Gervais’s medical squad really treated the wounded on the battlefield, and those girls looked thin, but their medical skills were very superb, and they treated several times in succession. A small nobleman, and there are dozens or hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

But now that the king is asking at this meeting, there must be some plans, so Alice simply replied.

“Alice, don’t be humble, you can find a good young man like Gervais as a husband, it seems that you have a very good vision.”

“I heard about that golden wine. It was also invented by him, he is really an excellent young man!”

The king had a faint smile on his face at this moment, and his tone was very kind.

“I heard that Viscount Gervais’ medical skills were brilliant and saved the lives of three nobles! Alice, yesterday the Charles family and the La Jin family each lost a noble vassal. Because I couldn’t stop the bleeding, and then I died! This makes me very sad!”

“As the largest families of Jean dukedom, you should unite in this southern expedition to help me win the Olympic Games. Dukedom!”

“So I have a request now, can I send some of the medical squad to the camp to the north?”

The king can say the word request , indicating that he has really lowered his stance and shown sincerity.

“Your Majesty, I am against it! There are only more than 100 people in the medical squad, and it is not enough to treat us in the east. If the manpower is distributed to the north, then our subordinates will not be treated. It’s over!”

How old-fashioned the Lord of the North is, they wouldn’t accept this kind of behavior from the king, so they spoke first, lest Alice had not had much contact with such a meeting and would be embarrassed about how to make a decision.

“Yes! Gust count is right!”

“Indeed, we don’t have enough east!”

“Gust , hundreds of doctors, how could you not have enough!”

Nemio and the others retorted instantly.

“Hehe, there are tens of thousands of people in our camp, of course only a hundred people is not enough!”

The Lord of the North looked at Nemio and sneered in his heart , how is it possible for the medical squad to treat your subordinates, you are afraid that you have drunk too much and won’t wake up.

“Okay, you don’t have to argue, the medical squid belongs to Viscount Gervais, and Alice, as Viscount Gervais’ wife, should be able to call the shots, let’s hear what Alice has to say!”

The king was not angry at the opposition of the Lord of the North. Seeing that the big count families below were quarreling again, he patted the armrest of the throne to stop the quarrel.

Hearing the king’s words, the counts who were so blushing stopped arguing, and then looked towards Alice.

“Your Majesty, I’m afraid this medical team can’t be dispatched to the north, because in the next few days, the west side of the minister is also ready to start the siege, so many doctors will be transferred back!”

“If a noble on Your Majesty’s side is really injured, they can be sent to the north in time for treatment.”

Faced with the comments from everyone, Alice was not afraid or embarrassed at all. How to make a decision, blunt gave the answer.

Don’t say that Gervais’s medical squad can’t decide, even if she can really decide, she is not willing to let the medical squad to treat the people of the Charles family and the Jin family.

“Since Alice count said so! Then I can’t force others to be difficult!”

King Lawrence nodded, without a trace of blame, seems to really agree with Alice’s excuse.

“Alice, let’s forget about the medical squid, but I heard that Viscount Gervais took out a weapon called a small steel cannon this morning. It is very powerful and can directly and accurately destroy the city wall. The trebuchet! Is it true?”

King Lawrence changed his words and began to talk about the small steel cannon.

“There is indeed such a thing! Your Majesty!”

Alice is not at all surprised that the king knows what happened in the morning, not to mention that there are still people sent by the king in her camp. Officials who are specially used to count military exploits and register spoíls of war, even several groups of rangers near the camp also saw the shelling of the city wall.

At this point, Alice finally knew the real purpose of King Lawrence’s meeting.

It’s all fake to use the medical squid just now. The king’s real purpose is to use a small steel cannon to destroy the trebuchets on the city wall.

It’s just that Alice isn’t sure whether the king is going to take the small steel gun directly, or has other plans.

“Very good! Viscount Gervais really did a great job!”

“Alice, the trebuchets on the east and north city walls were very helpful for our attack on White Rock City. A big obstacle, so I hope you will let Viscount Gervais use his little steel cannon to destroy the catapults to the east and north as well!”

The king stopped circling at this moment, and said directly My own opinion.

The fact that he just talked about the medical squid was really to pave the way for this little steel gun.

Alice rejected the issue of the medical squid, and brought up the issue of the small steel gun. Alice always impossible to refute the king’s face again and again.

“Your Majesty, as Gervais said, the use of small steel cannons seems to consume a very precious and rare thing. This thing has been used up a lot in the morning, and it is likely that there is not much left. !”

Alice was slightly sighed in relief when she heard that the king didn’t directly ask for the small steel cannon.

The king is always regarded as his own monarch. If he refuses the king’s demands one after another, it will also appear that the Jones family is rebellious.

“Alice, this White Rock City is the biggest obstacle to our recovery of Alban’s dukedom, and the trebuchet on the city wall is the biggest threat to attacking White Rock City today!”

“So I decided that as long as Viscount Gervais can solve the trebuchet on the city wall and make the attack on Baiyan City smoother, I can make the decision now. After this year’s southern expedition is over, I can let Viscount Gervais or your Jones family choose a piece near the Jones territory. Baron leads the size of the territory!”

The king’s words fell, and the count looked towards Alice with envy or jealousy.

Isn’t it because they cooperated with the king to attack Baiyan City this time because of the territorial reward promised by the king!

didn’t expect Now the Jones family can get a piece directly. Although it is only a Baron collar, there is a big difference between the rich Baron collar and the barren Baron collar.

“Since Your Majesty said so, then I will go back and discuss it with Gervais, but Your Majesty, what I just said is true, the precious substances that the small steel gun needs to consume is indeed not much. !”

“Well, Alice, you can go back and discuss with Viscount Gervais first. If possible, you’d better bring small steel cannons to destroy those trebuchets. After all, every extra minute we delay, we Jean dukedom will have to pay more warriors’ lives!”

The king nodded, I don’t know that Dao Idol didn’t believe what Alice was saying, but he continued to explain to Alice in a soft tone.

“Yes, Your Majesty! Then I’ll go back and discuss it with Gervais now.”

There is a lot of fertile land in the realm of the King near Jones Land.

This abundance does not mean cultivated land, but refers to some minerals or other valuable industries.

For example, there are two copper mines and one iron mine. These mines are very valuable mines and are essential strategic minerals for a family.

That’s why Alice agreed so simply, no one could refuse this temptation, even count.

“Okay, Alice! I’m waiting for your good news!”

This chapter is a two-in-one, it’s a monthly ticket plus one chapter, but I still owe 8 chapters …I feel a little cold on my head!
