Chapter 422: Gervas Is Such a Good Person!

So, what should he do now?

Reveal the news directly to the public?

Obviously, that is impossible.

He, Gervas, can help the Kingdom's army within his power, without endangering his own safety.

But if he is asked to sacrifice himself at the cost of exposing his secret, then sorry, letting others die while I survive is his worldview.

Moreover, even if he publicly announces the news, whether anyone believes it remains to be seen.

After moving into Winterhold, the army conducted a thorough, carpet-style search to ensure the city's safety before lifting the guard and beginning their garrison.

"Then, I can only give a subtle warning!"

Gervas instantly made a decision in his heart; he would not change his itinerary to Baron Kale's fortress.

As for the news here, that fellow Adams trusts me so much; it serves him right to be able to establish great merit.

As long as the Kingdom's army isn't just unlucky, they can absolutely get away with avoiding being wiped out by the orcs in one go.

"My lord, let this humble one serve you in washing and dressing!"

"Good! Isabella!" Gervas came to his senses and began to enjoy Isabella's gentle service.

"Gervas, you must take care!"

"That's right, Gervas, if anything feels off, do not fight stubbornly; run immediately. Anyway, no one saw, so whether it is desertion or not, it is all up to you!"

"Alright, I will remember that! If I encounter an enemy I cannot defeat, I will definitely run at the first opportunity!"

Hearing Mil and others' 'heartfelt words', Gervas did not refute them.

After speaking, he took out two letters he had prepared long ago from his bosom.

"These two letters; this one without the wax seal is for you all!"

"The one with the wax seal, I need you to personally deliver it to Lord Adams in a moment; remember, it must be delivered into his own hands!"

"More letters? Gervas, is there anything you cannot say to us now?" Mil and the others were somewhat puzzled.

Gervas did not explain; "Just read the contents of the letters yourselves in a moment!"

"Alright, dawn is about to break; I must depart!" After speaking, Gervas mounted his horse.

"Depart!"

At Gervas's command, the Storm Legion immediately moved out, heading towards the city gate.

"Gervas, take care on your journey!"

Watching Gervas leave, Mil and others felt a sudden, unexplained sense of loss.

During this time, they had fought side by side with Gervas and were long accustomed to following Gervas's arrangements on the battlefield.

Now that Gervas has left, the crowd must face the upcoming siege battle alone, making them feel somewhat at a loss.

"Viscount Gervas has left; why does my heart feel so empty! I don't even know how to respond to our upcoming battles!"

"Yes, before, following Gervas allowed us to achieve victory in succession so smoothly, but now... wait, didn't Viscount Gervas leave us letters? Mil, hurry and take them out to look!"

"Oh! That's right, I almost forgot such an important matter!"

Mil slapped his forehead and hurriedly picked up the two letters Gervas had left for them.

He put the one with the wax seal into his bosom and opened the one belonging to them.

Soon, everyone finished reading the contents of the envelope.

The content was simple: Gervas felt that the orcs handing over Winterhold so easily might not be that simple!

Therefore, he urged them to be on high alert, especially at night!

Besides that, during the time Gervas is away, if they encounter difficulties, they can try asking Adams for help!

Adams is a relatively trustworthy person; as long as it is not beyond his ability, I believe Adams will help!

"Gervas... truly a good person!"

"Yes! Even after leaving, he still worries about us; not only did he remind us to strengthen our guard, but he even found us a backer!"

Mil's hand holding the letter paper was trembling.

Because he was simply too moved.

"The grace of Viscount Gervas, I fear we will never be able to repay; in the future, whoever dares to bully Gervas is an enemy to me, Ian!"

"I, Mil, am the same; in the future, I, Mil, will forever stand on Gervas's side!"

"We are too!"

Amidst the emotion, Mil and others all made their declarations.

"Let's go; let's find Lord Adams first!"

Speaking thus, the group headed towards the eastern city.

And at this moment, Adams had just gotten out of bed.

Under normal circumstances, he would not wake up so early.

But today, he was preparing to request an audience with the President, wanting to ask to go to Baron Kale's fortress.

Therefore, he must choose to obtain the President's approval before the orcs appear.

"Young Master Adams!" However, just as he had just dressed neatly, a guard's call came from outside the door first.

"What is it?"

"Young Master Adams, several minor nobles have come outside the camp; they say they are nobles from the Southern Region, delivering a letter for you from a noble named Viscount Gervas!"

"Gervas's letter?"

Adams was stunned for a moment, then rushed out of the tent in a hurry.

"Greetings, Lord Adams!" Mil and others were surprised; they did not expect Adams to arrive so quickly.

In fact, they had all prepared to wait for a long time upon their arrival, after all, it was still too early; not even the first ray of morning light had appeared.

If it were not for Gervas's matter, it would have been best for them to arrive one or two hours later.

"Baron Mil, do not be polite; I heard you are here to deliver a letter from Gervas to me?"

"Yes, Lord Adams. Gervas has already departed for Baron Kalle's fortress; he left a letter before he went!"

Afterwards, Mil handed the letter to Adams.

"Everyone, thank you very much!"

Adams could not wait to take the letter, then confirmed the wax seal was intact.

After Mil and the others delivered the letter, they did not delay further and bid farewell to Adams.

Adams, his mind fixed on the letter, did not try to keep them.

After Mil and the others left, Adams immediately opened the letter.

And upon seeing the first sentence of the letter's content, Adams was stunned.

'Adams, I guess you are surely preparing to go find the President!'

'Then request the President's permission for you to also go guard Baron Kalle's fortress, to accompany me, correct?'

'However, what I want to say is, you need to discard this thought, because I do not wish for you to follow me to Baron Kalle's fortress!'

Lord Gervas could actually guess that I also wanted to go to Baron Kalle's fortress?

How did he manage that?

Moreover, why does he not allow me to follow him to Baron Kalle's fortress?

Could it be that he feels I am not worthy?

Or does Gervas feel I am too annoying?

Adams's heart tightened, both from surprise at Gervas's accurate prediction.

And from the loss and tension of Gervas not allowing him to follow to Baron Kalle's fortress.

Of course, this loss quickly vanished with the subsequent content of the letter.

'Adams, you must be very disappointed right now, correct? Wondering why I do not allow you to follow!'

'In fact, the reason I do not let you follow is naturally not because I dislike you, or find you annoying.

'But because there is a more important matter that needs you to complete!'

"A more important matter needs me to complete?"

Adams's spirit shook, and all negative emotions swept away!
