Chapter 482: You Have Great Courage!

"It seems I am honored; even Your Majesty the Beast King has heard of me!" Gervas continued to smile.

The Beast King had no intention of wasting more time with Gervas. "Human Gervas, if you release Princess Sukama now, I, the Beast King, promise you here that I will ensure your safe departure today! How about that? I, the Beast King, keep my word; you should be able to trust me!"

"Your Majesty the Beast King is, after all, a king of your race, so I certainly trust you. However, Your Majesty the Beast King, I risked my life to attack the royal tent palace! Then I risked everything to come directly to seek Your Excellency the Beast King. It is not merely for my life; otherwise, I would have already withdrawn from the west!"

"Five thousand gold coins! While guaranteeing your safe departure, I will also give you five thousand gold coins as ransom! Human Gervas, the ransom for a single Hou Jue of your human race is about that much, isn't it? How about that?" The Beast King's expression showed no ripple; hearing his words, he immediately increased the ransom for Gervas.

And five thousand gold coins was indeed a lot.

However, Gervas remained calm, shook his head, and said lightly, "Your Excellency the Beast King, not good enough!"

The Beast King finally became angry. "Human Gervas, I advise you not to be too greedy! If you provoke me, I will order the execution of all of you right now. You will not get a single gold coin, and you will all perish here!"

The atmosphere instantly froze; one by one, the Wolf Knights and Beast Clan warriors glared angrily at Gervas and his group.

Surely, if the Beast King gave the order, they would rush up without hesitation to tear Gervas and his party apart.

The members of the Storm Legion instantly became tense. Knight Mi Gen, without hesitation, grabbed Prada by the collar and pressed his long sword directly against his neck.

"Wuwuwu!" Prada's face was filled with terror and grievance as he began to struggle fiercely.

However, Gervas remained calm, smiling easily. "Your Majesty the Beast King, you will not do that!"

"Because I know that your feelings for Princess Sukama are very strong, and... I heard that the Great Shaman of the Behemoth Beast Clan prophesied that this youngest prince will be the most wise and brave existence the Beast Clan has seen in hundreds of years."

"Therefore, if Your Majesty the Beast King really orders us to be eliminated, then I actually lose nothing. Trading my humble Viscount status for the key to the future rise of the Beast Clan, I could even be called a hero of the human race!"

The Beast King fell silent, his gaze fixed intently on Gervas.

And Gervas met his gaze without any fear.

Exactly one minute passed like this before the Beast King's eyes finally returned to normal. "Human Gervas, you have great courage. Very few humans can bargain with me like this. So, what conditions do you want?"

Gervas's smile became even brighter. "Your Majesty the Beast King, I heard that our kingdom's main army is breaking through. I want to see them first!"

"You actually know even this?" The Beast King frowned again.

Obviously, what the Beast King wanted most was to dismiss Gervas with gold coins.

After all, this Gervas might not yet know the situation in Winterhold.

But now, Gervas actually knew about the kingdom's main army breaking through.

So, where did he get this information?

Could there be a human spy within the clan that he did not know about?

But even if there really was a spy, how was the information being passed between the two sides?

All of this made the Beast King feel a sense of doubt.

Facing the inquiry, Gervas naturally just smiled and offered no explanation.

The Beast King knew he could not get an answer from Gervas, so he did not delay further. "Let's go! I will take you to see them!"

If it were just the simple Princess Sukama, the Beast King felt he might have been unable to resist killing him right then.

Besides wanting to eliminate this Gervas, who might threaten the Beast Clan in the future.

He also did not want to miss the human army that was about to be annihilated by him.

But his new prince had fallen into this Gervas's hands.

The Beast King truly dared not gamble, because that was the hope for the future rise of the Behemoth Beast Clan in the Great Shaman's prophecy.

Subsequently, under the Beast King's lead, Gervas and his party headed towards Winterhold.

"Phew! My Lord, that just now nearly scared me to death. I was truly afraid the Beast King would go mad and order our execution immediately!"

As the group began to move, Knight Mi Gen cautiously approached Gervas, looking as if he still had lingering fear.

"Of course, what impresses us subordinates the most is that you, My Lord, did not worry at all. That calm expression just now simply makes us admire you."

"You fellow, did you come here specifically to flatter me?" Hearing this, Gervas chuckled.

"My Lord, this is not flattery; it is genuine admiration! If you don't believe me, ask them!" Knight Mi Gen pointed to the other knights.

The other knights immediately nodded, and even Lei Meng nodded in agreement.

These knights were actually not afraid of death.

But if one could avoid dying, no one would feel they were tired of living!

So, in the situation just now, tension was inevitable.

And with such personal experience, Gervas's calmness and composure naturally made them look up to him.

"Alright! Then I'll take what you say as the truth!" Gervas nodded. To be honest, he felt a little proud in his heart!

While Gervas was in a good mood, the kingdom's main army finally completed the junction with the Northern Light Cavalry and Duke Lieshi's Light Cavalry.

Although the number of light cavalry after the two merged reached only about two thousand six hundred.

It still made the group of great nobles breathe a sigh of relief.

"It is truly too lucky; those Wolf Knights did not launch an attack!"

"Yes! We were so afraid those Wolf Knights would react and continue their attack; in that case, our last hope would truly be gone!"

"President, should we launch the breakout now?"

The great nobles, while feeling fortunate, could not restrain their desire to act quickly.

"No problem, everyone, let's begin!"

The President naturally did not delay and immediately mobilized the light cavalry to prepare for action.

"Look, those humans want to break out!"

"These damn fellows! To avoid accidents, we specifically ordered the Wolf Knights to stop fighting, yet they think this is a chance to escape?"

"Do they really think we didn't notice them mobilizing that other eight or nine hundred light cavalry over there?"

"Everyone, since they want to seek death, let us grant their wish. What do you think?"

"No problem!"

The Human race's small maneuvers naturally could not escape the Beast race's attention.

Previously, to avoid pushing the Human race too hard, they had chosen to let the Wild Wolf Knights cease hostilities, avoiding pressing too hard.

But now that the Human army has chosen to deploy light cavalry to break out again, they certainly will not let it pass.

And as the Beastman's words fell, battle cries erupted from the Human side; it was the light cavalry beginning their charge.

Seeing this, the Beastman leader immediately ordered his subordinates to sound the horn!

Woo-woo-woo!

Soon, the light cavalry on both sides and the Wild Wolf Knights were fighting once again.

And this time, because there were enough light cavalry, the Human race actually possessed the strength to contend with the Wild Wolf Knights.

"Quick, everyone, send the elite guards forward to fight! The light cavalry have already held back the Wild Wolf Knights; this is our hope!" The President, seeing this, had hope of breaking out spring up in his eyes.

The great nobles were the same, immediately shouting to send their own elite guards forward.

However, their actions, in the eyes of the Beastman leader, were so laughable.

"These two-legged sheep actually truly believe they can succeed in breaking out? Then let these two-legged sheep feel the show Your Majesty the Beast King prepared for them in advance!"

Roar-roar-roar!

As the Beastman leader's words fell, a few chilling roars came from behind the army a moment later.

Subsequently, five large black lizards appeared on the battlefield.
