Chapter 743 The bridge was destroyed!
"Notify everyone, pack up your things immediately, and prepare to move forward quickly!"
Gervis silently calculated in his mind that if the Golden Shield Family and others wanted to catch up with him at a distance of fifty miles, they would have to wait until dark.
According to their current calculations, they will be able to reach the target town around dusk. By then, as long as they capture the small bridge, they will be able to rest easy.
Therefore, although the Golden Shield Family arrived a little earlier than expected, it is still within the controllable range.
At this time, Ik and Gust had already gone to the front to scout. When they returned, they would know the specific distance and the situation ahead.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has an order! Everyone pack up your equipment and set off immediately!"
…
"Commander Kito! Captain Enbi and the others seem to have encountered an accident!"
"Just now when we were in the air, we saw two swift dragon birds flying in the distance. At that time, we thought they were our teammates, but when we were about to go and meet them, they suddenly changed direction and flew rapidly in the original direction."
Fifty miles behind Gervis, a team of more than a thousand people was advancing rapidly.
This team of a thousand people is all wearing golden armor, and the weakest among the crowd is also the Golden Knight.
And in front of the team, there are more than ten powerful men exuding terrifying power.
The leader of the group released his pressure without any scruples. From this terrifying pressure, it was clear that he was a Red Flag Knight! At this time, two Swift Dragon Birds fell from the sky. After the Swift Dragon Birds landed, one of the knights respectfully came to the Red Flag Knight and reported the situation.
Hayden and Alex were both dragon birds flying in the sky, so they could see each other. Naturally, the dragon bird knights from the Golden Shield Family also discovered them.
Therefore, their abnormal behavior immediately aroused the suspicion of the two dragon bird knights.
"Did you see the people on those two dragon birds?"
When the commander-in-chief named Kitto heard the report, his face remained calm and he just asked in a deep voice.
"No! We were still two or three miles away at the time. We could only vaguely see that it was our Golden Shield family's dragon bird, but the person driving the dragon bird couldn't see it clearly!"
The Dragon Bird Knight answered truthfully.
"What a waste!"
The Red Flag Knight snorted coldly, and it was unclear whether he was scolding the knight for not seeing the other person's face clearly, or scolding Enbi and his companions for having an accident as aerial knights.
"Now continue to scout and lead the way!"
"Yes, Commander Kito!"
The dragon bird knight had already broken out in sweat under Kitto's pressure. Upon hearing Kitto's order, he immediately responded respectfully and then quickly headed towards his swift dragon bird.
"Notify everyone to speed up!"
This time Batman gave him a death order, that he must bring back the head of the God of Killer, so Kitto could not let the God of Killer go no matter what, otherwise he would not be able to go back and give an account.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
…
A journey of dozens of miles only took a few hours for Gervis and others. If there were no ordinary soldiers among them as baggage train, they could actually run even faster.
After traveling quickly for more than twenty minutes, Gust and Ik finally returned on the Swift Dragon Bird, but when Gervis learned the news they brought back, he was dumbfounded.
"Say it again! The wooden bridge has been destroyed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! The town is less than thirty miles away from us. However, when we arrived near the town to investigate, the wooden bridge had been destroyed by the natives. Only ashes were left!"
"We also captured a native scout outside the city. We learned from him that Duke Johnson and his men had already captured a native city!"
"Some of the remaining natives fled to the small town ahead. The mayor of that town was worried that Duke Johnson and his men would continue to attack, so he immediately ordered the wooden bridge to be burned down!"
Gust and Ike lowered their heads and answered Gervis.
"This is really true that man proposes, God disposes!"
Gervis was overwhelmed. He had thought that the natives in the city would at least wait until they actually came into contact with their army before thinking of destroying the bridge.
But who would have thought that the mayor of that small town was so cowardly that he burned down the bridge at the slightest sign of trouble.
You know, that is a bridge spanning hundreds of meters. To build such a bridge must cost countless manpower and material resources, but now it is destroyed.
"How many troops are there in that small town? How strong are they? Have you asked?"
"Your Majesty, it is said that the small town was built specifically to protect the bridge. Although the population is only 3,000, there are thousands of native soldiers!"
"Among them, there should be more than 800 Silver Knights, more than 200 Gold Knights, and more than a dozen strong men above the White Flag Knights!"
"Also, according to the scout, their city lord can kill high-level monsters alone!"
Gust himself is a veteran and has been on many battlefields. Now that he has caught the enemy's tongue, he naturally asks all the questions he wants to ask.
At this time, he told Gervis exactly what he had learned from the scout.
"Can you kill a high-level monster alone?"
Gervis had the urge to curse. He thought he had picked an easy target, but he didn't expect that this was the real tough one.
Being able to kill high-level magical beasts, even the weakest high-level magical beast can only be killed by the Red Flag Knight!
As for the Red Flag Knight, even if Gervis took a fruit that increased his strength by fifty times, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.
Immediately, Gervis quickly took out the map and began to check it.
At present, the pursuers of the Golden Shield Family are less than fifty miles away from them. It can be said that their retreat has been blocked.
The only bridge that could cross the river in the small town ahead had been destroyed, so Gervis had only one way to go, which was to cross the small town and continue forward.
But the problem was that if they continued to move forward, they would be entering the heartland of the indigenous people, where there were large tracts of unexplored land. If Gervis led this weak army to advance, he didn't know whether he would be able to escape or run from a wolf's den into a tiger's mouth.
"Fuck it, I can't care about so much! The most important thing is to get rid of the pursuers first!"
After weighing it over for a moment, Gervis finally made up his mind, put away his scattered thoughts, and decided to run away first.
Since there is still a road ahead, we must give it a try no matter what. We can't just stay here and wait to die!
As for a fight to the death with the people of the Golden Shield Family behind him? Gerves never had such an idea.
Since the Golden Shield Family went to great lengths to kill me, they must have sent enough strong men.
Even if he could escape with the help of the kiwi fruit, the problem was that his more than 500 subordinates would have absolutely no chance of survival.
"Everyone, speed up!"
"Ike, Gust! You guys continue to explore the way ahead. I plan to go straight past the small town ahead and continue on!"
Gervis immediately began to issue orders! "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, Gervis and his group continued their escape, but this time their target had become an unknown area.
