Chapter 162: The Person Has Been Found!

~7 min read 1,202 words

Gervas felt a slight stir regarding Baron Kane's death.

After all, they had met a few times before.

It is said that border minor nobles are the kingdom's cannon fodder, and Baron Kane and others have verified the truth of this claim.

Without lingering long, after a brief rest, Gervas led everyone to begin the return journey.

Although Farrio is currently missing, as long as he is alive, there will be a good show.

Just as Gervas walked a few minutes toward the noble camp, a mixed force of tribal cavalry and human cavalry appeared ahead!

"Why haven't they returned? The time is almost up, isn't it?"

"May the God of Glory protect us; we must find that group!"

Inside the noble camp, as time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

One by one, the nobles' hearts sank to the bottom, beginning to prepare for the worst.

Narsi had already begun instructing his subordinates to prepare for a breakout at any moment.

The opposing tribal leader naturally also sensed the anomaly.

If the other side truly intended to exchange their offspring, they certainly would not have consumed so much time making us wait.

"Great Leader Silver Moon, these damn nobles must have other secret plots!"

"That's right, could they really be preparing to take our heirs back to the kingdom's interior?!"

Great Leader Silver Moon frowned tightly, truly unclear what the opposing nobles were thinking.

I have already made so many concessions; are they still not satisfied?

"The time is about right; let us go over one last time to ask the meaning of these nobles. If they continue to delay, then we shall first prepare for the worst!"

The leaders all nodded, following behind Great Leader Silver Moon toward the noble battle array.

Seeing this, Narsi and the others naturally dared not be negligent and immediately stepped forward.

"Commander Narsi, are you humans still not satisfied? If that is the case, then our tribe will not let you live easily!"

"That's right, if even a single hair is harmed on our offspring, I will tear you shameless nobles apart!"

"That's right, tear them apart!"

The tribal leaders were all agitated; the nobles' faces instantly turned pale, and cold sweat constantly poured out.

Yet, at this moment, they could not explain.

If the other side learned that it was not them delaying time, but that even they did not know who had kidnapped the person, the outcome would surely be even worse.

"Great Leader Silver Moon, we did not say we were unsatisfied; it is just that the hidden group is truly too difficult to find, so, please give us a bit more time; we will definitely find them!" Narsi's back was also soaked, yet he still needed to force calmness.

"That's right, everyone, just give us a little more time; once we find our group, we will immediately exchange with you!" Other nobles immediately echoed.

Unfortunately, noble credibility is no credibility in front of the tribe.

Therefore, the tribe simply did not believe his promise.

"Leader Silver Moon, act directly! Kill these shameless nobles first!"

"That's right, these nobles are no longer trustworthy; kill them first. If they truly dare to take our offspring back to the kingdom's interior, then we will kill even more nobles!"

"At that time, I will use the heads of ten nobles to sacrifice to the banner, to avenge my eldest son!"

The nobles grew more and more alarmed as they listened, their faces turning deathly pale.

Because they knew clearly, these crude tribal leaders were very likely speaking the truth.

After all, they rarely act.

Although this time they did indeed plot against the noble army, the actual main reason was the nobles' underestimation of the enemy.

Therefore, if these fellows truly acted, then they were surely doomed.

"Report!"

Fortunately, just as the camp atmosphere began to grow tense, a hurried shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Commander my lord, the person has been found!"

The arrival was the search cavalry dispatched by Narsi's group.

"Found?!"

Hearing the cavalry's report, the nobles were instantly overjoyed and shocked, "Where are they?"

"Commander my lord, the group is just behind, protected by a large detachment; I came back first to report!"

"Good, very good!" The nobles almost wept with joy.

It was truly damn hard!

"Great Leader Silver Moon, my people will arrive very soon; I said we would not deceive everyone!" Narsi forced down his excitement and immediately explained to the tribal leaders.

The tribal leaders also heard the cavalry's report and immediately stopped shouting for blood, "In that case, let us wait a bit longer!"

Seeing this, the nobles returned to their own ranks, then immediately and impatiently asked the cavalry in low voices, "Who kidnapped these tribal heirs? Was it us nobles?"

Now, this had become what the nobles cared about most.

If it truly was their nobles, then everyone's hope of rescue would shoot straight up.

Fortunately, to the relief of Narsi and the others, the cavalry gave an affirmative answer!

"Commander my lord, your excellencies, it is a noble of our kingdom, Baron Gervas Gale!"

"Excellent!" The nobles were so excited they almost jumped up. "By the way, which great family is the Gale family? Does anyone here know them?"

Amidst the excitement, Narsi asked the surrounding nobles.

"The Gale family? I have never heard of them!"

"I have never heard of them either!"

"Strange, logically we basically know all the great family groups this time; could this Baron Gervas be a new noble from a northern great family?!"

After asking around, everyone realized they had never heard this name before.

However, everyone still believed Gervas came from a great family.

Because even they could not accomplish such a feat, let alone people from a minor noble family.

"My lord, the people have arrived!"

Just then, a commotion arose at the gap in the tribe's encircling army, and soon a column of over three hundred men, escorted by the knights he had just dispatched, marched toward the encirclement.

"Quick, have the soldiers prepare! If these tribe leaders dare to make a move, we will fight them to the death!"

Narsi and the nobles immediately sprang into action, rushing toward Gervas's column to prevent the tribes from tampering with anything.

However, they were actually overthinking it.

Given Gervas's caution, he had already ordered his subordinates to surround these tribe scions like wrapped zongzi.

So, whoever dared to make a move, those few tribe heirs would be taken out immediately.

These tribe leaders had gone to such great lengths; they certainly would not ignore the safety of their heirs.

The reality was just that: seeing no opportunity to strike, the few tribe leaders could only bitterly calm their subordinates.

"Baron Gervas?"

"Yes, my lord is..."

"My name is Narsi, commander of this main army. Baron Gervas, you have worked hard!"

Hearing this, Gervas suddenly puffed out his chest, stood straight, and struck his right fist against his chest, "Everything for the Kingdom!"

This answer was familiar to Gervas!

The assembled nobles stood in solemn respect, "For the Kingdom!"

Narsi's gaze toward Gervas grew even brighter. "Baron Gervas, you will be the great hero of this campaign!"
