Chapter 77 Set the camp on fire

“Sir, we found a lot of miners in the woodhouse over the camp!”

Just as Gervais was standing beside the carriage, he was laughing silly At that moment, a guard ran over.

“Oh, then go and have a look!”

It’s not surprising that there are miners. I saw at least a hundred people in the camp on the mountain that day. Except for more than 50 guards, other It is estimated that all miners are responsible for mining.

Led by the guards, Gervais came to the middle of the camp. I don’t know if it was to prevent the miners from escaping. All the wood houses were built in the middle of the camp, which was a long way from the wooden wall. .

When Gervais came to the door of the wood house, the door of the wood house had been opened, and there were five or six guards with torches standing at the door. There are more than 20 people, it is hard to imagine that a wood house with only more than 30 square meters is crowded with so many people.

“Sir, the two wood houses next door are also miners!”

The guard who brought Gervais here pointed to the two wood houses next door.

“Yes!” Gervais glanced at the two wood houses, then took his eyes back and looked at the wood house in front of him again.

“Who’s the head here?”

Seeing the miners shiver coldly terrified, Gervais didn’t go in, but asked loudly at the door.

However, in the face of Gervais’ questioning, none of the miners dared to speak up first, but most of the miners glanced at one of them, and that person saw the eyes of all around. I moved towards myself, I was so scared that the soul flew away and scattered, I knew in my heart that I couldn’t escape no matter what, I could only raise a hand coweringly and replied: “I… It’s none of my business… I just I usually work the hardest…they let me be the Captain…”

“Come out and take me to the mine.”

Gervais knew that these miners were in What to be afraid of, but Gervais, the soldier under Lanney, will not be soft in killing, but these unarmed serf coolies, he can’t do anything, he just wants to see what the mithril mine looks like.

No matter how scared that person was, facing Gervais’s order, he could only squeeze out the crowd in trembling in fear, walked out of the wood house, and stood beside Gervais.

“Lead the way ahead, I won’t kill you if you are honest and obedient.”

Gervais took a torch from the guard next to him and stuffed it in front of the man.

Under the leadership of this man, Gervais finally came to the Mithril mine. There are three mine entrances in the entire camp. Gervais asked Captain, the miner, and learned that there is a lot of ore here, but the rock wall is relatively hard, so it took more than a month to excavate five trucks of ore.

After a rough inspection of the three mines, Gervais withdrew. Through observation, Gervais found that the reserves of this mithril ore should not be small. After all, the three mines were separated by hundreds of meters. Mithril ore, a lot of mithril ore that has not had time to be mined is exposed in the mine tunnel.

When Gervais finished inspecting the mines and came to the middle of the camp again, the guards had turned the whole camp over and over, and found no remaining soldiers, but found a large amount of food in a wood house, enough food. More than 100 people have more than three months of rations, which makes Gervais very happy, and tonight’s action can be said to be a great victory.

“Lord Nathan, what do you think we’re going to do with this camp?”

When the guards emptied all the provisions and loaded them into the carriage they had come with, Gervais was Ready to evacuate, but Gervais looked distressed at the sprawling camp.

Gervais wanted to take this camp as his own, and then dig the mithril mine himself, but his reason told him that it was impossible, and six names Knight died tonight, the masked man Gervais I don’t know their identities, but Lenny’s subordinates are all noble vassals. No matter what the reason, suicide of a noble is a serious crime, and Gervais’s head is not strong enough to fight against the nobles of the entire Dukedom.

So I can’t get this camp for the time being, but once we withdraw today, even if Lanny suffers heavy losses, he will definitely send people to continue mining, and when the time comes, he will definitely be heavily guarded, unless Gervais will Burning this camp will suspend Lenny’s mining operations.

“Master Gervais Young, you can only burn it! Otherwise, Viscount Lenny will be able to resume production soon. If you want to break through this camp again in the future, it will not be so easy.”

“Well, then burn it, tie up all those miners and drive them into the woods.”

After listening to Nathan’s words, Gervais finally made up his mind, he actually knew that burning was the best However, when Lanny built this camp, he attached great importance to it, except that the building material was made of wood, other aspects were quite elegant, and it was completely regarded as a small fortress.

If Gervais and the others didn’t outsmart them tonight, and Richie didn’t confirm their identities further in the panic, it’s a question of whether Gervais and the others could capture the camp.

As a transmigrator, Gervais has a strong desire to protect buildings. In addition, he thinks that he will become stronger in the future, and he will not need to rebuild the camp after taking back this place.

“Gervais Young Master, those miners…”

Nathan thinks that Gervais is good at everything, but he is too kind. In his opinion, these miners killed just death ends all one’s troubles, not only saves the risk of exposing them, but also increases the difficulty of Lenny’s mining again. After all, it is also a hassle to re-assign 100 miners.

“Lord Nathan, needless to say, it doesn’t matter if these people are killed or not. Serfs can’t be witnesses against nobles. This is the law of dukedom.”

Gervais knew what Nathan wanted to say What, so before Nathan finished speaking, he interrupted his words.

The serfs in this world are lowly, so the serfs can’t be witnesses against any crimes against the nobles, Gervais doesn’t have to worry at all because these people put themselves and the others in danger, and these miners simply don’t know them .

As for Viscount Laney, Gervais felt that even if they did a perfect job tonight, among the objects of suspicion, Gervais must be the top priority, after all, he had a direct conflict of interest, but that was all It doesn’t matter, Gervais will recruit troops when he goes back. As long as he stays in the castle honestly during this time, he can continue to make waves when his strength rises.

Seeing that Gervais had made up his mind, Nathan stopped persuading him, so he ordered a few words to the guards next to him. Immediately, the guards were divided into two teams. The ropes found in the camp were thrown to the miners, and they were asked to tie the people beside them one by one, like putting on beads one by one. After they were all tied up, the guards took them out of the camp.

The other team piled up all the combustibles in the camp beside the fence and the wood house. After all the miners walked out of the camp, they set all the combustibles on fire. The hay and bed sheets were immediately ignited by the torch. It burned violently, and quickly ran up the fence and the wood house by the gentle night wind. In an instant, the entire camp fell into the fire sea, and it burned with a crackling sound.

“Go!” Seeing the entire camp shrouded in fire sea, Gervais withdrew his gaze, turned over on the horse, and then gave an order to start the journey back with the carriage, which represented his life The first expedition in Perfection came to an end.
