Chapter 101: Beautiful Noble Lady!

~7 min read 1,267 words

"Thank you, my lord, for avenging my son!"

"Thank you, my lord, for avenging my father!"

Amidst the cheers, there were also many excited shouts because their clansmen's great grudge had been avenged.

"Lauren, you handle this fellow!"

At this moment, the only survivor was the Napa Goblin.

"Two-legged sheep, I am one of the leaders of the Claw Tribe. If you dare kill me, my clansmen..."

Pfft!

Before the Napa Goblin could finish speaking, Lauren thrust a sharp sword into its chest.

Instantly, scalding blood surged rapidly from its heart, draining all the strength from this powerful goblin.

"You killed my father, yet you still dare threaten our my lord? You deserve to die!"

Lauren, still not satisfied, pulled the sword out and thrust forward again.

"Ugh..."

The Napa Goblin's eyes widened, its gaze filled with grievance and venom.

Unfortunately, this did not stop Lauren from continuing to stab.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

The surrounding guards were also infected, cheering enthusiastically to support Reg.

The great battle ended, the danger alarm for Storm Domain was lifted, and the soldiers and serfs began to clean the battlefield.

This time, the Storm Army killed a total of eighty-six enemies, including one goblin priest.

Priests are also very rare among these alien tribes.

A small tribe of two or three thousand people has at most two or three priests.

Therefore, killing it was no different from killing a guardian knight of a minor noble.

Of course, there were casualties on Gervas's side as well.

Although they held the advantage, in the end, two died and five people's weight were seriously injured.

Gervas praised and compensated the fallen and seriously injured guards in front of all the townspeople.

Fallen soldiers received a compensation of forty silver coins; seriously injured soldiers received compensation based on the severity of their injuries and recovery.

Subsequently, compensation ranging from five silver coins to thirty silver coins would be distributed.

"Father, this border region really is no different from the rumors; it is indeed very remote."

"Moreover, I heard that Storm Domain has lost three nobles within ten years. I feel that Gervas serving as the lord here might not necessarily be a good thing!"

"Father, Big Brother is right. You brought so many supplies this time. If Storm Domain really encounters danger, won't it just benefit the bandits?"

"Lanier!" Andrew glared at his youngest son.

Only when the youngest son shrank his head did he look at his eldest son.

"Ernst! No matter which family, at the beginning of its establishment, it was opened up by ancestors who feared no danger and fought bravely!"

"Although Storm Domain is dangerous, for Gervas, it is also a rare opportunity."

"As long as he can defend his territory, then a hundred years from now, our Gale family will see the grand scene of two nobles in one family."

"And after I, Andrew, die, I can face my ancestors with a clear conscience, because my descendants have made the family flourish!"

"So, you brothers must take care of each other in the future. Nobles from other families only talk about interests, but you and Gervas are after all biological brothers; perhaps you can talk about family affection in the future."

"This could also provide significant help to the future development of Gale Domain. Do you understand?"

"We understand, Father!"

Ernst's eyes flickered; he did not pay much attention to what his father said.

Although he did not reject that thin, timid younger brother.

But he could not be said to like him either.

Moreover, Storm Domain is located on the border; if one really wants to develop it, one does not know how many years it will take.

What benefits can it bring to the family in the end?

I suppose it will mostly require him to help this border brother?

"Lanier, the current Gervas is already a noble lord, completely different from his past status!"

"Although as a half-brother, he certainly cannot punish you, but in the future, do not expect to get any benefits or care from him!"

"So, you had better change your previous views and attitude towards Gervas; this way, you might still obtain Gervas's help and kindness in the future!"

"I know, Father!" Daniel lowered his head, but his eyes were full of disdain.

He did not come along this time to curry favor with Gervas, but had other purposes.

Andrew sighed; he could feel that his two sons did not take his words to heart.

But such things cannot be forced; descendants all have their own thoughts and destinies.

A father can only give more reminders.

As for Gervas, to actually receive an ennoblement in the triennial challenge tournament was absolutely beyond Andrew's expectations.

He knew very well the intensity of that challenge tournament.

Others thought it was luck, but Andrew did not need to think to know that if it really relied only on luck, it would not have fallen to his son this time.

Those great nobles are not fools; they are old and cunning, skilled in calculation, and smarter than us minor nobles.

Therefore, besides luck, Gervas's own ability is also indispensable.

This was also my own negligence; in the past, I focused only on the eldest son, the heir, yet overlooked this second son.

I hope that coming this time can mend the rift between father and sons.

"Eh, Father, look, another caravan is coming!"

Just then, Ernost's voice came through.

Andrew turned his head to look, and saw a caravan of over three hundred people appearing on the road behind.

At the head of the formation were more than ten knights, while behind them were over two hundred soldiers.

These knights and guards were flanking a luxurious carriage within the caravan, along with more than ten carriages fully loaded with goods.

"It is actually six carriage-pulling nags; could this be a great noble traveling?" Ernost exclaimed softly, his tone filled with envy.

The cost of raising even one better nag could sustain five serfs.

Six nags are equivalent to sustaining thirty serfs.

Such financial power is absolutely beyond what a minor noble family could maintain.

After all, to stubbornly persist for such a small bit of face would not only invite ridicule from nobles who know the truth, but also waste money Bai Bai.

"Not a great noble; look at the formation's banner, this is a Viscount family caravan!" Andrew corrected softly.

Ernost finally saw clearly the emblem in the lower-left corner of that formation's banner, representing the Kingdom's Viscount status.

"A Viscount family? Then that must be a very wealthy Viscount family!" Ernost's eyes were full of envy.

And under their gaze, after that formation arrived nearby, it actually stopped on an open ground over a hundred meters away.

Perhaps because this was the only flat, open ground nearby suitable for landing and resting.

This was not all; under the curious gaze of the Gale family members.

A young noble Young Lady stepped down from the luxurious carriage opposite.

Not only was her temperament extraordinary, but her appearance was also absolutely beautiful.

"What a beautiful female noble!"

Ernost and Laniel were momentarily stunned.

Perhaps sensing the gaze from this side, that female noble glanced over here, then nodded her head, as a polite greeting.

Andrew immediately stood up and bowed to the gentleman opposite.

"Let's go; we have rested enough, it is time to depart; this place should not be far from Gervas's territory!"

Fearing his two sons might be immature and offend that female noble opposite, Andrew immediately led the formation to set off again.
