Chapter 736: Being remembered

"Your Excellency the Duke, the people from Sky City have already set out and are heading northeast!"

"Don't worry about them for now. Just send someone to follow them from a distance. Wait until the Stormwind team separates from them and then follow them closely!"

Inside the Golden Shield Family's camp, the soldiers were already busy preparing for the upcoming march.

At this time, old Duke Batman was standing in the camp, looking up at the sky, listening to his subordinates' reports and giving relevant instructions.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"

"Remember not to be discovered by them!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. The Swift Dragon Bird can fly at an altitude of three thousand meters. As long as the Stormwind City team is separated from the Sky City's main force and those annoying griffins leave, they will definitely not be able to find our trace!"

"Very good, then I'll leave it to you! We need to capture the city as soon as possible. Once you have determined the target, send someone back to pass on the message immediately!"

Batman nodded with satisfaction and continued in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Excellency the Duke! I will go there now!"

Having said that, the subordinate who was reporting stood up respectfully and ran quickly towards the ten birds that had landed on the ground not far away and were ready to go.

"God of Death! I can't do anything to Edward now, but I can't deal with you, a little brat! Just wait for your death!"

After his subordinates left, Batman's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

…

Gervis didn't know that he had just set out and someone was targeting him.

At this time, his team, mixed with Edward and others' teams, began to quickly advance into the indigenous people's sphere of influence.

According to a rough estimate, it would take at least seven or eight days to get from here to the target he had chosen, and that was assuming there were no delays on the road, so their time was very tight.

…

Four days passed in a flash and as the team gradually went deeper into the indigenous sphere of influence, the number of people in Gervis' group gradually began to decrease.

The original 80,000 people gradually became 50,000, then 40,000, 30,000, and now only the last 10,000 people are left.

"Lord Gervis, when we capture our own city, we will send some men to support you! You must be careful when you are alone."

Johnson and others looked at Gervis's team of only more than 500 people and couldn't help but remind them worriedly.

Compared with them, the 500 men under Gervis were really shabby. Apart from the 400 silver knights, two beginner white flag knights and Gervis himself, the rest were actually ordinary people.

If I meet a stronger opponent, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to run away.

"I got it, Duke Johnson, Duke Bruno, Duke Soled! I will be sure to be careful!"

"Let me wish you success in your first battle!"

Gervis nodded solemnly while riding on Nightmare's horse, accepting Johnson's reminder and wishing them a happy return.

The location that Sky City wanted to capture was the middle of their area, so they parted ways with them two days ago.

At this time, there were only four city lords among the 10,000 people including Gervis, namely Johnson, Bruno and Soled.

At this moment, Gervis also had to part with the last team of 10,000 people, because his own goal was the position on the leftmost side among all the city lords, and he also needed to cross a big river to reach the other side. So Gervis had to part with Johnson and others in advance and take a detour across the river.

"Haha, thank you Lord Gervis for your kind words! We'll see you in a few days, Lord Gervis!"

When Johnson and his companions heard Gervis's advance congratulations, they immediately laughed heartily.

"Haha! See you then!"

At that moment, Gervis said nothing more. He saluted the three men again, then rode his horse forward to chase the team that had already traveled hundreds of meters.

…

The next part of the journey would require Gervis to march alone for three or four days, of course, assuming the road was unobstructed.

There are still two small cities that Gervis needs to cross along the way. He must be careful to avoid being attacked by the indigenous people.

Although they had passed through no less than seven or eight indigenous towns on their way here, they had not been attacked. However, that was because the indigenous people, seeing the densely packed Holy Continent army, naturally did not dare to move.

But Gervis dared to guarantee that if more than 500 of his people dared to wander alone outside the gate of a city, they would probably face a head-on attack.

So he was ready not to shoot, but to move forward quietly, quickly reach his target, and wait patiently for support from Johnson and others.

In this way, Gervis and his party continued to move forward for two more days.

During these two days, Gervis firmly adhered to the principle of moving quietly.

When making a fire and cooking, he would send Ike and others to scout several miles away in advance to make sure there were no people around before starting.

Being so cautious, they did not encounter any natives.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the natives have received news of invaders and are hiding in the city and dare not move out.

"Your Majesty, there is a small city ahead. Judging from the size of the city, it must have a population of at least tens of thousands!"

That afternoon, Gervis and others were moving forward on the road, while the guards team responsible for exploring the way ahead rode back at full speed and brought back what they had just discovered.

"It should be this green dot. After passing this city, there should be another city behind it!"

"And after that city, it will only take us about a day and a half to reach our destination."

Gervis was not surprised by the appearance of this small town. After all, it was clearly marked on the map and this city was a must-pass for them.

On the contrary, if this city did not exist, they would have to worry about whether they had taken the wrong road.

"Tell everyone to stop marching and take a rest in the woods ahead. We will continue our journey at night and pass the city!"

After putting away the map, Gervis immediately gave orders to Ike and others.

Now that they were in the heartland of the indigenous people, Gervis did not dare to be careless at all. He prepared to wait until dark and sneak across the city under the cover of night.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty the King has ordered that everyone go to that forest to rest and continue the journey at night!"

As the order was passed down, their team of more than 500 people went to the woods not far away and hid in an orderly manner.

…

"Your Majesty, drink some water!"

After the team hid, Gervis sat under a big tree, and the captain of the medical team, Lilia, immediately brought him a glass of water.

"Um!"

Since his personal maid was not around, Lilia, the captain of the medical team, was serving Gervis. This was a precedent during the southern expedition, so Gervis did not feel any discomfort.

He nodded to Lilia and then took the cup of water.

"Lilia, do you feel anything after practicing meditation these days?"

There were more than 60 people in the medical team. They all traveled in carriages, and they had been taught meditation methods. So Gervis could see these studious girls trying to meditate all the time these days.

"Your Majesty, I already have some senses. I can feel a lot of small particles around my body. I am trying to communicate with them!"

Lilia replied respectfully.

"Well, very good, keep up the good work!"

When Gervis heard that Lilia had sensed the existence of magic so quickly, he nodded in satisfaction and encouraged her. At the same time, he handed the empty wooden cup of water to Lilia.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Lilia will definitely work hard!"

"Your Majesty, Lilia will take her leave first!"

Lilia received praise and encouragement from Gervis, and a look of joy appeared on her face. After taking the empty cup handed to her by Gervis, she bowed respectfully and then left happily.

"hehe!"

Seeing this simple girl so easily satisfied, Gervis couldn't help but smile and shake his head, then looked up at the sky.

The sun is about to set, and we should be able to continue our journey in two hours at most! (End of this chapter)
