Chapter 744: Playing a big one!
After two hours of traveling, Gervis and his companions finally arrived outside the city they had chosen as their target.
This time they were marching blatantly outside the city. Gervis could no longer care about many things at this moment. If they continued to wait outside the city until dark, the pursuers of the Golden Shield Family would catch up with them before they could leave.
“Speed up!”
Gervis rode on Nightmare's back, keeping an eye on the movements in the small town ahead.
Although the city wall of this small town is more than 30 meters high, its length and width are less than one mile. It would be more accurate to call it a fortress rather than a small town.
When Gervis and his companions passed by, the people in the small town also discovered their traces and gathered on the city wall to watch Gervis and his companions.
Gervis also asked Ik and Gust to ride on the swift dragon birds and hover in the sky to keep an eye on the movements in the city.
If there is any movement in the city to gather troops and prepare to leave the city, then Gervis will take the initiative to attack on his swift dragon bird, enter the city and hold back these natives, leaving them no time to attack.
Fortunately, when more than 500 of Gervis's men had completely passed the road outside the town, there was no sign of troops gathering in the city to prepare for an attack.
"Walk!"
After his soldiers had been gone for a full fifteen minutes, Gervis saw that there was still no movement in the town, so he waved to his guards and chased after his team.
Now that the first difficulty on the road to escape has been overcome, the next thing to consider is how to escape the pursuit of the Golden Shield Family.
The best outcome would be to find another bridge, and then allow himself and others to cross the river to the other side to meet up with Edward and his men.
…
Tap! Tap! As the sun was setting, more than two hours after Gervis and his men had left, a thousand-man team arrived outside the fortress-like town.
The pressure that the arrival of this team brought to the small town was not comparable to that brought by Gervis and his team.
The moment this team of a thousand people appeared, alarm bells rang in the city, and even the mayor of the small town came to the top of the city wall and looked outside.
"There is a strong man in this small town!"
The appearance of the mayor of the small town immediately attracted Kitto's attention, and he immediately stopped his magic wolf and looked towards the city.
"Commander-in-chief, the people in that city are all natives. It seems that the God of Death did not stop here to attack the city."
"They must have discovered our actions, so they ran away! What a bunch of useless people!"
The situation was now very clear. The God of Death did not stay in this small town as previously reported.
There is no need to think about the reason behind this. It was naturally because of those pieces of trash that the Swift Dragon Bird fell into their hands.
"Commander-in-chief, what should we do now? Should we continue the pursuit? The area ahead is an unknown area, a place that the dragon bird had not explored before!"
One of Kitto's subordinates asked quietly.
"Keep chasing. The Duke's order is that the killer of the god must die!"
Kitto said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
Afterwards, the people of the Golden Shield Family did not conflict with the natives in the town, but like Gervis, they directly passed through the town and continued on their way.
…
It's night!
On a gentle slope beside the river, more than 500 people of Gervis are stationed here tonight.
Gust, Hayden and others who had just rushed back from the front and rear were called over by Gervis to inquire about the situation.
"Your Majesty, the Golden Shield Family is only forty miles away from us. At this rate, even if we move at full speed, they will be able to catch up with us in about a day at most!"
Hayden and Alec have been in charge of reconnaissance in the rear. Today they met the Dragon Bird Knights of the Golden Shield Family twice, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
"Gust, have you found anything ahead?"
After listening to Hayden's report, Gervis was anxious, but he still forced himself to suppress it. The more anxious he was at this time, the calmer he, as the king, had to be, so that everyone could feel at ease.
"Your Majesty, we have been flying for more than sixty miles today and have not found any bridges!"
Gust replied.
"In that case, let's all get some rest! We need to get up early tomorrow and travel!"
After listening to this, Gervis nodded silently. It was almost dawn now. Gervis and others dared to stop and rest only after Hayden confirmed that the Golden Shield Family had also set up camp.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, before the sky was fully light, Gervis and his group continued to flee.
Today, perhaps because they knew that Gervis and his men were not far away, the pursuit of the Golden Shield Family in the rear was getting faster and faster.
"Your Majesty, the Golden Shield Family is still thirty miles away from us!"
Gervis and his party had only traveled for more than forty miles when Alex returned on his swift dragon bird to report.
"I understand. Let's continue exploring!"
After listening to this, Gervis nodded silently without any expression! "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Two hours later, Alec came back from behind.
"Your Majesty, the Golden Shield Family is still twenty miles away from us!"
"Keep observing!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Alex left, Gervis opened his system panel, silently glanced at the remaining black kiwis, and then closed the system panel.
If things continue to develop in this way, Gervis and his men might be caught up by the Golden Shield Family before dark.
Unfortunately, there was no good place to hide nearby, so Gervis and his companions could only run along the road.
"Teacher, why don't you take the Swift Dragon Bird and leave first!"
While Gervis was checking the system panel, Weldon thought that Gervis was lost in thought because of his troubles, so he spoke to Gervis.
"Welton, do you think I am that kind of person?"
Gervis just raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked back jokingly.
When Weldon heard Gervais's question, he was speechless, because Gervais was indeed not that kind of person.
When he was in the City of Hope, Gervis was always on the verge of life and death, killing people all over the city.
If Gervis had fled in disgrace now, he would not have been given the title of God of Death.
"Your Majesty, the dragon bird that was scouting ahead is back!"
While he was silent, Welton suddenly saw two velociraptors flying back in front of him.
Previously, it was Alex who returned from the rear, and the news he brought was naturally worse each time.
The news from the front is what they are most looking forward to, and they hope good luck will come.
Crash!
As the Swift Dragon Bird landed steadily, Gust and Ik quickly turned over and landed on the ground, then ran to Gervis.
"How's it going? Did you find the bridge?"
After Gervis and the other two walked in, he began to ask.
"Your Majesty, there is no bridge ahead!"
“Is there any steep terrain there?”
Gervis had to settle for the next best thing. Since he couldn't escape, he would fight to the death! If there was a terrain where one man could block a thousand men, they could still fight.
"Your Majesty, as we moved forward, we found that there were continuous mountains nearby, and there was no steep terrain for us to defend!"
"However, there is a city thirty miles ahead, with a population of at least 50,000 to 60,000!"
Gust replied in a low voice.
"A city?"
When Gervis heard this answer, his brows furrowed! It seemed that he really couldn't escape this time!
Gervis clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at the Golden Shield Family. Now they had forced him into a desperate situation!
"Damn it! Since there are wolves in front and tigers behind, let's go big!"
Suddenly, a crazy light flashed in Gervis' eyes, and he made a bold decision. Since he couldn't run away, he might as well give it a try. At worst, he could take someone with him before he died! "Pass my order! Abandon the carriage loaded with food, and speed up!"
Thirty miles away, if they move forward quickly, they can still reach the outside of the city before being caught up by the Golden Shield Family! (End of this chapter)
