Chapter 377 Rangers

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Alice gathered all her vassal nobles and informed them of the operational arrangements for the Battle of White Rock City.

All the small nobles looked at each other, and then cursed the king for being unfair. Many of them were still fantasizing about whether they could get rewards.

Now they are sent alone to the west of Baiyan City. Not to mention competing for rewards, they are just going to starve.

Gervis did not go to Alice's camp because he knew the more detailed results last night, so he took Gandalf to the west of White Rock City early this morning.

The purpose of his trip was to prepare for the Jones family to move their camp.

Now that the direction of attack had been determined, their camp must of course be separated from those of other earls.

After all, the distance from north to west is four or five kilometers, and it is completely impossible to go back and forth every day.

Accompanied by Gandalf, Gervis and his group of dozens of riders soon arrived at the west of White Rock City.

"Father, there is absolutely no way to attack the west!"

After crossing the river, Gervis and others looked towards Baiyan City on the other side of the river and frowned.

There is an artificial moat on the west side of Baiyan, so there is an open space of about a hundred meters outside the city wall.

However, to land on this open space of more than 100 meters, one needs to cross a wider river.

The moat is at least forty or fifty meters wide, but this natural river is at least seventy or eighty meters wide, and the water flows fast, making it impossible for people to wade through.

"That's right. If we want to attack, we need to build a floating bridge. Fortunately, there is a dense Haloxylon ammodendron forest here, so the materials for building a floating bridge are convenient!"

"But even if we build a pontoon bridge to the other side, we will be within the range of the enemy's bows and arrows, and we will not be able to deploy our troops at all."

Gandalf could naturally see the big problem here, and he frowned silently as he looked at the surging river ahead.

"Forget it, father. Let's check the camping location first! As for the attack, let's set up the camp first."

Gervis's brows were already furrowed into a shape of a "川" (a line in the middle of a long drawn eye). This system was such a bummer.

If he had not been assigned any system tasks, this assignment would have been what he wanted most. After all, the king did not really expect them to make great efforts in the west.

Moreover, there is a river that is dozens of meters wide. If they delay the construction of the bridge, they will have seven days left. No one can find fault with it, and they won't let people swim across it.

But now that he had a system mission, Gervis had to take it seriously. Even though the chances of completing the mission this time were very slim, he still needed to use his brain a little to live up to his reputation as an excellent time traveler.

Gervis couldn't help but look upstream of the river. The river flowed directly from the west, then made a slight turn and flowed past the west of Baiyan City.

When Gervis saw this relatively wide river, the first thing that came to his mind was the flooding of Baiyan City.

But he denied it the next moment. The outer walls of Baiyan City were built with huge stones weighing thousands of pounds. Floods could not destroy such walls at all.

"My Lord! There is a small group of enemies in the west!"

Just when Gervis and Gandalf were preparing to look around, dozens of rangers came running from the distant river bank. The two teams of rangers fought while running towards Gervis.

Gervis took out a monocular telescope and looked over there. He soon saw that the rangers fleeing in front belonged to the Principality of Zeon, and there were only eight or nine of them.

The rangers from the Principality of Alban were chasing behind with bows drawn. There were more than fifty of them, and they should be three ranger teams merged together.

"Everyone get on your horses and get ready for battle!"

Gervais and Gandalf looked at each other, then they both mounted their horses.

Although they didn't like the king and other earl families very much, they had a good impression of these rangers.

Now, it is these cavalrymen under the king who are responsible for fighting against the enemy rangers.

It was precisely because of their vigilance and spying on the enemy's military intelligence that Gervis and others could appear in the west of Baiyan City with dozens of people.

Because when they came here, they had already encountered two waves of rangers returning to the camp to report, and they confirmed from them that there were no large groups of enemies here.

The rangers from the Principality of Zeon in front also saw Gervis and others, and turned slightly and came directly towards them.

The guards behind Ingvis and the others all carried flags.

They probably didn't recognize the flags of Gervase and Gandalf, but now they were on the battlefield, so there was also a rose flag of the Jones family in Gervase's team, which was also to facilitate the identification of the enemy and our own.

The rangers in the distance apparently recognized the flag of the Jones family and came to them for help.

"Guards draw their swords!"

With a few clangs, Gandalf's personal guards and his soldiers all drew their swords.

"charge!"

"kill!"

Following Gervis's order, all the cavalry urged their horses and charged straight towards the rangers.

There is absolutely no strategy involved in a head-on battle involving a small group of cavalry like this; they can just charge forward and crush the enemy.

The horses ridden by Gervase's personal guards were much better than those of Gandalf's guards.

As the charge became faster and faster, slowly Gervis's personal guards rushed to the front.

Four hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters...

The rangers of the Principality of Alban were not afraid when they saw Gervis and others, and did not turn their horses around.

Perhaps they thought that their numbers were no less than those of Gervis and others, and they also wanted to launch a charge to test the strength of Gervis and others. If they really could not defeat them at that time, there was no rush to escape on horseback.

"kill!"

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The Principality of Zeon's Rangers slightly changed direction before meeting Gervis and others, passing in front of Gervis and others.

The rangers of the Principality of Alban in the rear were brandishing their swords and colliding with Gervis and others.

The first people on Gervis' side to achieve success were the cavalrymen carrying the flag. Because the flag was more than three meters long, they held the flag horizontally, and the spear tips reserved above the flag pierced directly into the bodies of the rangers of the Principality of Alban.

Then came the clinking sounds of swords and armor.

The cavalry of both sides collided fiercely, and then separated and passed each other.

After slowing down for dozens of meters, Gervis and others turned their horses around again, only to see that there were only a few of the more than fifty rangers of the Principality of Alban left, with only about twenty left.

And there was no casualty on their side, because those who were rushing in the front were all Gervis's personal guards, and their weapons and equipment were all forged with mithril, so even if they were hit, they would not suffer serious damage.

"Retreat quickly!"

When the rangers of the Principality of Alban saw that more than half of their men were killed in a charge, but the enemy was not even hurt, they finally realized that something was wrong and immediately turned their horses' heads and galloped to the left, preparing to escape.

"Chase! Don't let them get away!"

Now that a battle has taken place, Gervis will certainly not let them get away easily.

After turning his horse around, he let out a loud roar, raised his sword and led everyone in pursuit.

After chasing for a mile, Gervis stopped the team.

The number of rangers who finally escaped from the Principality of Alban was only seven or eight.
