Chapter 329: It is best not to be arrogant!

Brandon has left!

He left with great speed, fearing that if he stayed even a moment longer, Gervas would ask him for help fighting the monsters.

You must be joking!

It has always been only their Light Church taking advantage of the nobles; never has a noble been able to take advantage of them.

Moreover, this Storm Domain truly is the Death Land spoken of in rumors.

Even if the location were excellent, he would not build a temple here.

Clip-clop! Clip-clop!

Hoofbeats approached; three Light Knights came hurriedly from the southern road.

"How is it?" As the Light Knights drew near, Brandon immediately asked aloud.

"My lord, a group of monsters has indeed appeared, numbering at least a thousand, with at least three third-rank monsters leading them!"

"Hiss! This Storm Domain... is too miserable!" Ma Xieer first sucked in a sharp breath, his gaze filled with pity as he looked back toward the Storm Domain.

First two thousand fish-men, then a fourth-rank beast, and now over a thousand monsters...

This Storm Domain town truly lives up to its reputation as the Death Land.

Brandon, however, remained somewhat composed, merely nodding lightly.

Now that the truth was confirmed, he had already added this Storm Domain to his blacklist.

Furthermore, he would inform all other priests in the future to come to the Storm Domain as little as possible.

"Magistrate Ma Xieer, everyone has rested enough; let us immediately rush to other domains to take a look!"

"Very well, Lord Brandon!"

"My lord, the Church and Magistrate Ma Xieer's people have left!"

"Excellent!"

Hearing Eve's report, Gervas nodded in satisfaction!

He believed that with this display, his domain would not be remembered by the Light Church for a very long time.

"Let us go! The monsters have arrived; prepare for battle!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Soon, Gervas arrived on the walls of Baron Kane's castle.

Although the entire castle was being demolished, the vast majority of the buildings remained intact, especially the surrounding walls.

Of course, the demolition would certainly continue until it was completely cleared later.

Although, as a modern transmigrator, he felt that demolishing such a representative building was a great waste.

However, in the eyes of Lei Meng, John, and others, this was necessary.

The castle symbolized rule.

If two castles appeared within a domain, and a change of events occurred in the future, someone with ulterior motives could occupy one and oppose him, which would be a major trouble.

Therefore, direct demolition was more beneficial for Gervas's rule.

"Gervas!"

When Gervas arrived at the wall, Mil, Ian, and a total of six nobles stood fully armed on the ramparts.

They had not left with Brandon and Ma Xieer but had stayed behind to fight the monsters alongside Gervas.

"Everyone, I am truly grateful for your help!"

Although each of them had brought only a few knights and knight squires, the fact that they were willing to stay meant Gervas acknowledged the debt.

"Gervas, we are not like those fellows from Ma Xieer; we have signed an alliance contract with you!"

"Therefore, under any circumstances, we will not flee."

Mil and the others felt this was only natural.

Gervas nodded and did not say much flowery speech.

Just then, the monsters in the distance were already howling as they surrounded the castle.

Looking at the dense mass of monsters, the several barons all frowned.

"Gervas, the number of monsters is a bit large! Moreover, they seem stronger than the monsters we have seen before; they must be elite monsters. You had better prepare in advance and have the serfs of Wheat Town retreat first!"

"That is correct, Gervas. A monster force of over a thousand is simply too large; this Baron Kane's castle may not be defensible. We think it is best to be prepared for any eventuality and make preparations to retreat to your Storm Castle to resist."

"Additionally, we will send people back later to gather reinforcements. As long as we hold out until tonight, when reinforcements arrive tomorrow, we can completely eliminate these monsters!"

Mil, Ian, and the other barons spoke up one after another.

All of them possessed rich combat experience and could clearly see the monsters' strength at a glance.

Gervas knew the several of them were offering a well-intentioned warning.

Under normal circumstances, following their advice would be the safest course, minimizing risk to the lowest level!

But the problem was, this was the Storm Domain, Gervas's territory.

"My lords, do not worry; my subordinates can absolutely deal with these monsters!"

"This... Viscount Gervas, a thousand monsters are no joke. How many guards do you have?" Mil immediately pressed.

He feared Gervas might underestimate the monsters' strength due to arrogance.

"If you mean guards, there are only five hundred, but I also have two hundred cavalry, so the total is seven hundred!"

"What? S-seven? And two hundred of them are ca-cavalry?"

Mil and the others were instantly stunned.

Gervas's appearance did not seem like he was lying, and there was no need for him to lie.

But the problem was, when they were at the castle before, they had not seen Gervas possessing any cavalry at all.

They did see many knights, indeed exceeding the usual border viscount.

"My Storm Cavalry went out to the wilds for morning drills, so they have not returned yet!"

"Just now, I sent someone to notify them; I believe they will return very soon!"

The few said no more.

Although they did not know the training level of the two hundred cavalry.

But even if they were only like bandits, once the number exceeded fifty, the shock force they formed far surpassed ordinary guards.

Clatter! Clatter!

"My lord, the guard unit and the cavalry unit have arrived; requesting orders!"

Just then, a Magic Swift Eagle Cavalryman descended from the sky.

Hearing the report, everyone's gazes turned eastward; indeed, they saw a fully armed elite guard and cavalry slowly approaching the castle.

And Mil and the others' focus was entirely on those two hundred cavalrymen.

Even though they were seven or eight hundred meters away, seeing the knights' full sets of equipment gleaming silver, Mil and the others could tell it was absolutely no simple matter.

Especially the metal lances equipped to every single cavalryman.

That was absolutely something ordinary cavalrymen could not operate!

The few exchanged glances, both puzzled and incredulous.

Were such elite cavalry really Gervas's own?

Probably only a count or a higher great noble could cultivate them.

"Then let the battle begin!"

Gervas, on his side, very naturally issued the battle command.

Mil and the others were startled again. "Gervas, didn't you tell them to enter the castle?"

"Enter the castle for what? It's so crowded; fighting in the open field is better!"

The few were left speechless, while that Magic Swift Eagle had already swept into the high sky, heading toward the distant guards and cavalry.

"Lei Meng, Mick, you lead the knight squad out as well; be responsible for dealing with those few third-tier magical beasts, do not let them charge the military formation!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Just like that, Lei Meng, Mick, and more than ten other knights also charged out of the castle.

"Gervas, that... that... what do we need to do?"

Gervas smiled slightly. "Gentlemen, sit and watch first; if help is truly needed, I will tell you then!"

Having spoken, Gervas waved to the rear; servants immediately brought over several lounge chairs.

Afterwards, the servants also brought tea and snacks from the castle!

Good heavens! Mil and the others exclaimed "Good heavens!"

It turned out their solemn expressions just now were completely superfluous.

And thinking they could stay to give Gervas great help was just self-indulgent sentiment?

Of course, they only hoped it was not Gervas being overconfident!
