Chapter 431: Just Treat It As One Thousand Five!

Facing the Beast King, Morar dared not tell any lies.

He recounted the previous situation truthfully.

"What about this Gervas? Do you think what the letter says is true?"

"Your Majesty the Beast King, I have never heard of this Gervas before, so I cannot judge!" Morar, besides daring not to tell any lies, naturally dared not to boast.

The Beast King was somewhat dissatisfied. "I told you to speak, so speak!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the King... although I, a humble one, have not heard of this Gervas before!"

"But since Wei La De wants to use Gervas as a bargaining chip to make us agree to let them live, then, unless they have another conspiracy to plot against us again."

"Otherwise, this is most likely true!"

Hearing this, the Beast King nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent, I think the same. Moreover, now all these humans are trapped within the city and can't stir up any trouble!"

"Therefore, I have decided to give them a chance to verify whether the letter is true or false!"

"Morar, you know what to do, right?"

"Your Majesty the Beast King, I will go handle it immediately!"

Afterwards, Morar went straight out of the tent and found the human messenger responsible for delivering the letter.

Then, he handed a beast bone token to the other party. "You can go back now. Give this thing to Wei La De!"

"Yes... yes, my lord of the Beast Race!"

The messenger, as if granted a reprieve, took the bone token and returned to the foot of the city wall.

However, he did not enter the basket immediately, because he still needed to make another trip.

When the bone token was sent up, Solite was overjoyed, quickly put the bone token away, and then immediately placed another letter into the basket.

This letter recorded information about the area where Gervas was currently located.

Not long after, the information was delivered into the Beast King's hands.

It is worth mentioning that this messenger was not silenced.

Because the death of that confidant last time was already very suspicious.

If another one died this time, it would obviously be noticed by people.

So, Minister Weilade did not dare to continue doing that.

"Baron Kale's Castle, west of Winterhold, fifty li away? Only seven hundred men!" After the Beast King finished reading the address recorded in the letter, he then looked at Morar.

"Morar, I authorize you to lead three thousand Beast Race warriors and three thousand servant army troops."

"Additionally, I have equipped you with five Bloodthirsty Bat Knights. Bring this Gervas and his subordinates back, dead or alive. Can you do it?"

"Your Majesty the Beast King, I, your subordinate, will definitely complete the mission!"

"Very good. Set out at dawn!"

【Ding! Daily intelligence has been refreshed!】

【Intelligence One: Due to the Beast Race's siege, Winterhold's food supplies have fallen into severe shortage.】

【Even though the President strictly implements food rationing, it cannot change the fact that the army is becoming increasingly desperate.】

【Intelligence Two: The meager daily food has made the nobles very uncomfortable.】

【To fill their stomachs and also to improve their diet, many nobles have already started secretly slaughtering horses to obtain meat.】

【Intelligence Three: Pessimistic emotions have spread throughout the kingdom's army. Everyone feels their food will likely not last until reinforcements arrive.】

【The fact is indeed so, because the President temporarily managing Shicheng only finally decided today to send an urgent messenger to Wangdou Sect to seek opinions.】

【Intelligence Four: To arrange an escape route for themselves, the cowardly Solite and Minister Weilade decided to use your intelligence to obtain a life-saving promise from the Beast Race.】

【And they officially put this into action early this morning, and successfully contacted the Beast Race!】

【Intelligence Five: Although the Beast King did not fully believe the information transmitted by Minister Weilade.】

【But holding the thought that it is better to believe it than not, the Beast King has already dispatched a force consisting of three thousand Bimeng Beast Race warriors, three thousand servant army troops, and five Bloodthirsty Bat Knights heading towards Baron Kale's Castle!】

【Intelligence Six: Today will be good weather!】

Morning, another day of sleeping until naturally waking up.

Compared to the anxiety of the nobles inside Winterhold, Gervas has been living quite relaxed these days.

Of course, upon hearing today's ding-ding sound, Gervas's originally somewhat relaxed mood immediately vanished.

"It's those two scum again!"

This time, Gervas was truly enraged.

Originally, he also understood that in subsequent battles, Minister Weilade and Solite would definitely continue to trouble him.

But he did not expect that at this critical juncture, these two guys would still not forget to plot against him.

Even using him as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Beast Race sparing their lives.

"Two pieces of scum, then let you taste what it means to reap what you sow!"

This time, Minister Weilade and Solite completely enraged Gervas.

However, due to the current situation in Winterhold, Gervas naturally could not settle the score with the two men.

So, he could only wait for a later opportunity to directly eliminate the two of them.

Of course, he cannot truly kill the two men right now, but he can collect some interest.

They want to use him to exchange for a chance to live, right?

Then he will make their sweet dreams come to nothing directly!

Afterwards, Gervas did not delay any longer and got up directly.

Maid Isabella heard the noise and quickly came in to serve Gervas with washing and grooming.

After finishing washing, Gervas called for Lei Meng, Knight Mi Gen, and others.

They were informed that the orcs were about to launch an attack.

"Three thousand orcs and three thousand servant troops? This..."

Hearing the number of attacking orcs, Knight Mi Gen and the other knights' faces all turned slightly pale.

"What, are you afraid?" Gervas asked with a smile.

"No, my lord, afraid we are not, but we are indeed a bit nervous, after all, it is three thousand orcs!" Mi Gen answered seriously.

And the other knights also nodded one after another.

"Count yourselves honest, but three thousand orcs, in my view, are nothing much!"

"We do not need to annihilate them all; we only need to cripple them. If we kill or injure at most half, these orcs will know better and flee in disarray!"

"So, you do not need to regard them as three thousand orcs; you only need to regard them as fifteen hundred orcs!"

Good heavens!

Can one actually view the enemy's numbers this way?

If Mil and the others were here, they would surely roll their eyes directly.

But by sheer coincidence, only Gervas's subordinates were here.

So, upon hearing this, Mi Gen and the others actually found it quite reasonable and nodded one after another.

"My lord, calculated this way, it really does seem not so nervous!"

"If you are not nervous, that is correct! Now, everyone, get moving immediately for me. The orcs depart today; by tomorrow morning, it will be time for battle!"

"We need to reinforce the camp a bit in advance, so that we can make the orcs suffer properly!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Afterwards, the entire Storm Legion got moving.

Of course, besides the Storm Legion getting moving, Gervas also sent Zuiyue to go and gather Isabella and the others back.

These orcs this time are obviously taking him very seriously, having even dispatched five aerial knights.

Aerial knights, this thing, can be counted as dimensional strike.

If I have no countermeasure, it will absolutely be a huge trouble then.

But I do have a way to deal with it,

so, I will give these orcs a big surprise then!
