Chapter 161: Guess Even Bolder!

"If their reinforcements truly arrive, so much the better; in a moment, we shall have them escort us back to the noble camp to meet Commander Narcissus and the others!"

"We must return?" Hearing Gervas's reply, Baron Mien and the others' expressions changed; they nearly thought their ears were playing tricks on them.

Did Gervas not know the situation at the camp?

"Baron Gervas, Commander Narcissus and the others are likely already doomed!"

"When we broke out, the entire camp had already been breached by the tribal armies; therefore, if we return now, the place is basically occupied by the tribal armies!"

"I know! But did you hear my subordinate's shout just now? I hold the offspring of those tribal chieftains!"

Baron Mien and the others had naturally heard this, "But, Lord Gervas, although the offspring of that tribal chieftain can make these tribal soldiers hesitate toward us for now!"

"By the time other tribal armies arrive, they will no longer hesitate, for I have heard that there are rifts even within the tribes themselves!"

"Therefore, relying on this one tribal chieftain's offspring to flee the encirclement immediately is the safest course; returning to the rear army camp would not only fail to rescue Commander Narcissus and the others, but would likely be equivalent to throwing oneself into a trap!"

It must be said, Baron Mien's analysis was impeccable, and several knightly vassals nearby immediately nodded in agreement.

Of course, Catherine never spoke, for she vaguely felt that given Gervas's style, he certainly would not make such a grave mistake.

Indeed, only hearing Gervas say with a smile: "Who said I hold only one tribal chieftain's offspring!"

"Not one tribal chieftain's offspring? Could it be three or four?" Baron Mien and the two knights were stunned; no wonder Gervas was so confident.

"Too few, guess bolder!" Gervas shook his head.

"Uh... could it be five or six? It can't possibly be seven or eight, right?" Baron Mien and the others were shocked.

"Haha, Lord Baron Mien, my lord captured a total of seventeen tribal chieftain's offspring this time, and furthermore, these offspring are all tribal heirs!"

"Hiss!" Baron Mien and the others widened their eyes, instantly drawing in a sharp breath of cold air.

There were only about seventeen or eighteen tribes invading the kingdom this time, weren't there?

Gervas had simply rounded up the offspring of all the tribal chieftains, and moreover, they were all their tribal heirs.

How was this accomplished?

"Baron Gervas, how did you do it? Did they just stand on the road letting you capture them?" Baron Mien and the others could no longer find words to describe their shock.

Even Catherine, standing nearby, had her beautiful eyes shimmering, waiting for Gervas's explanation.

Even if these heirs were roadside wild vegetables, they wouldn't be that easy to pick, would they?

"Baron Mien, Viscount Catherine, these tribal heirs were not caught on the roadside; my lord led us to infiltrate their tribal camp, then we repelled those guards and garrison troops, and only then did we bind them and bring them out!"

"Of course, at that time the tribal army did indeed launch a full-scale attack on the main camp, but we also expended considerable effort!"

Before Gervas could speak, Knight Mi Gen answered first.

After all, such a glorious matter could not truly be treated as picking vegetables by the roadside.

"Infiltrating the tribal army camp..."

Baron Mien and the others were speechless, their mouths already gaping into an 'O' shape.

After all, even if defenses were emptiest, that was still the enemy's camp!

"As for luck being too good, it should also be the blessing of the God of Glory!" Gervas was quite humble.

And the more humble he became, naturally making Catherine, who was accustomed to seeing boastful noble young masters, admire him even more, her beautiful eyes flashing with extraordinary light.

"Lord Gervas, Lord Viscount, look, there are cries of battle at the intersection ahead!"

Ten-plus minutes later, a fork appeared on the left ahead, and the faint cries of battle drifting from the intersection immediately served as a warning.

"It seems we have arrived!"

Gervas naturally understood that this was likely the skirmish between the five nobles and the tribal soldiers mentioned in the intelligence.

But Baron Mien and the others grew even more curious, "Baron Gervas, who are the people ahead that you came specifically to rescue?"

Hearing this, Gervas did not hide the truth, "Who exactly is ahead, I actually do not know; however, they are indeed very important to us!"

"Uh, Baron Gervas, why do I feel that everything you say today is so profound!" Baron Mien, upon hearing this, felt his brain was insufficient again.

Gervas no longer played riddles, "Earlier, Viscount Catherine said that that despicable fellow Fario would surely receive retribution; as long as we rescue those people ahead, Fario's retribution will come to pass!"

Light immediately sparkled in Catherine's eyes, and Baron Mien also revealed an excited expression; now they naturally understood what was meant.

"Baron Gervas, could it be that nobles escaped from the left army are ahead there?"

"Correct, according to the report from the Magic Swift Eagle, there seem to be five nobles there; it can be basically confirmed they escaped from the left army! Therefore, as long as we rescue them, we can surely have them testify against Fario."

"Then what are we waiting for, Lord Gervas, let us hurry to rescue them!" Baron Mien and the others could no longer wait.

After all, Fario's actions toward their Violet Family were not merely annoying.

They concerned the future rise and fall of the entire Violet Family.

Next, the rescue of the five nobles proceeded without incident.

Gervas and his party arrived just in time; the five nobles had only just been discovered by the tribal soldiers.

And the tribal soldiers attacking them were merely a small squad of fewer than two hundred, so under a single charge by Gervas and his party, they immediately scattered in rout.

"Baron Gervas!"

After rescuing these nobles, Gervas was surprised to discover that there were acquaintances among the survivors.

"Baron Mil, Baron Hank!"

Baron Mil needed no further explanation; he was Gervas's neighbor. Baron Hank, although a bit farther away, had been met previously while drinking outside Silver Shield City.

"Baron Gervas, we are truly grateful for your rescue; if not for you, we would have died here!" Baron Mien and Baron Hank and the others' eyes were already reddened.

To make such barons nearly weep with joy, one could imagine the torment they had endured.

"Do not be agitated; you are safe now, all sit down and drink some water first! By the way, where is Baron Kane? Is he not with you?"

Gervas remembered that Baron Kane was also in the left army, but after looking around, he saw no trace of him.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Baron Mil, who had just calmed down, became excited again, "Baron Gervas, it is all because of that shameless fellow, Count Fario!"

"He caused the death of Baron Kane, caused the death of Commander Brick, caused the death of all nobles in the left army; we must make Fario receive the punishment he deserves..."
