Chapter 777: Aboriginal Sea Tribe (Two in One)
"Johnson, gather 10,000 people from your families and go to the battlefield immediately!"
Edward's face showed no strange expression as he spoke calmly to Johnson and several city lords.
"Okay! I'll send someone up right away!"
Next, Johnson and several other city lords immediately gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to march out of Shengke City and head for the battlefield! After 10,000 soldiers and horses from both sides were deployed to the battlefield, the battle became more intense.
"Duke Edward, although the natives are coming in force this time, their chief priest doesn't seem to know how to command a war. As long as the battle continues like this today, we will eat them all in one fell swoop!"
As the battle continued, the natives were at a disadvantage again after just over ten minutes.
Seeing this situation, the city lords present were all delighted. As long as they could defeat this group of natives, this area would be safe from now on.
"We can't be careless! After all, this Land of Gods is the home turf of the indigenous people! Moreover, they can replenish their fighting power at any time, but we can't do that."
Edward stared at the battlefield and heard the joyful teasing from other city lords nearby, and immediately responded.
"Duke Edward is right, but the 50,000 natives on the opposite side are their last troops. They actually rushed here without any rest and chose to fight us directly. From this point of view, it seems that the chief priest of the natives has no command brain at all!"
"As long as we defeat these tens of thousands of people, and wait for them to flee and flee, we will pursue them and rush directly into their group. Then we will be able to solve this last trouble."
Faced with Edward's caution, several city lords did not take it too seriously.
After all, the enemy was not only an exhausted army, but also had lost 30% of the 15,000 natives on the battlefield. If they just waited a few more minutes, these natives would definitely be defeated.
Even if the other party continues to send people, the effect will be the same, and this is even something they would like to see more.
Since they captured the cities in the rear, they have moved the Shenyu Channel into the cities they occupy. Now their troops have been greatly replenished. In addition to the 15,000 people outside the city, they still have more than 40,000 people lying in ambush in the city.
If they were not worried that the natives would flee quickly when they saw that there were too many of them, they would have rushed out all at once.
After all, if the indigenous army was really allowed to escape, and they refused to come out to fight, then the way for Didi and others to move forward would be blocked.
There is a natural difference between fighting natives in the field and attacking native cities with sufficient troops and strict defenses.
"kill!"
At this moment, deafening shouts of killing suddenly came from outside the city.
"They collapsed! The natives collapsed!"
"Duke Edward, can we launch the attack now?"
At this time, the more than 10,000 natives outside the city finally couldn't stand the pressure and began to collapse. When the Holy City Alliance saw the natives collapse, they killed more vigorously and kept chasing the fleeing native soldiers. The deafening shouts of killing before were made by them.
When the city lords on the city wall saw this scene, they immediately became delighted and quickly spoke to Edward. At this point, the battle was half won.
Edward did not answer the city lords immediately, but looked at his subordinates behind him.
"Your Excellency the Duke, the latest news from five minutes ago is that apart from the indigenous troops outside the city, no other troops were found within a thirty-mile radius!"
At this time, the air knights on the field were a mixture of several other holy cities.
Edward's hundreds of griffin knights were divided into two groups.
A group of more than 200 griffins were on standby in the city, while another group of more than 200 were scattered to various places to be responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance.
"Then let's attack! Leave 50 million men in the city, and all the rest of the troops will attack!"
Edward finally responded to the city lords who were eagerly waiting for the order to pursue.
"Okay! Attack!"
All the city lords were greatly excited and immediately gave orders to their subordinates behind them.
"Yes, sir!"
The commanders of the troops from each family immediately received the order and ran quickly towards the city wall.
The soldiers and horses under the city had already been prepared. After receiving the order, they followed their respective commanders and quickly left Shengke City to pursue.
However, neither the soldiers who were chasing nor the city lords like Edward had expected that under the endless sea to the east of the city, dense aquatic creatures were holding swords and wearing armor and waiting quietly.
And the direction they were facing was the city of Saint Ke.
…
Time flies, and another two days have passed.
There is still no news of Gust who went to look for Edward and others. During these two days, in addition to his own practice, Gervis went to the temple to accompany the slave soldiers to practice magic.
After two days of training, all the slave soldiers had completed the task of releasing fireballs, which made Gervis feel very sorry for why he did not buy more slave soldiers in the first place.
These slave soldiers were simply geniuses.
And since these slave soldiers have learned to release fireballs, Gervis also gave them a name.
From Dragon One to Dragon Ninety-Eight, they are named according to the order in which they learned the Fireball Technique.
As for when several people release fireballs at the same time, Gervis will determine the order according to the strength of their mental power.
At noon that day, after Gervis had a delicious lunch, he prepared to start identifying which type of magic these slave soldiers had the strongest affinity for.
However, at this moment, a group of uninvited guests disrupted his plans.
"Your Majesty, we spotted ten flying beasts a few miles away! They came from the south!"
Gervis sat in the main seat of the temple, and Ike came quickly to report.
"From the South?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I came closer this time and found that it didn't look like a swift spirit bird! No troops were found on the ground yet!"
Ike replied respectfully.
"Then I'll go take a look!"
Only ten birds came this time, and they came from the south, but Gervis already had an idea in his mind.
He guessed that there was a high probability that Johnson and others or Edward had sent someone to look for him.
After all, the last batch of Golden Shield Family's hundreds of air knights were killed by him. Bartman would definitely not be so stubborn as to fight him to the death now! As he said that, Gervis came to the square in front of the temple, then rode the Swift Dragon Bird and took off quickly, heading south.
And the fact was just as Gervis thought. Soon after he flew out of the city, he saw the ten flying birds. They were the Griffin Knights of the Sky City.
When the other side saw the two swift dragon birds on Gervis' side, they were stunned at first, and then quickly surrounded them. They thought they had encountered the aerial knights of the Golden Shield family again.
After Gervis approached and gave his name, they looked at his appearance and then followed Gervis back to the Holy City.
…
"So, Sky City and other holy cities are probably fighting against the indigenous army right now?"
Inside the temple, ten griffin knights ate the food prepared for them by Gervis while recounting the reasons and consequences of their visit.
"Yes, Lord Gervis, Duke Edward heard the news of the natives gathering, so he only left our team of ten to search alone!"
"We could have discovered your whereabouts a few days ago, but we encountered the Dragon Bird Knights of the Golden Shield Family on the road, so we had no choice but to temporarily withdraw to the main city."
One of the Griffin Knights' captains answered.
"Well! In that case, I'm going to go there no matter what!"
After all, he, Edward, Johnson and others are allies. There is a big battle going on over there. Gervis feels that he has to rush over there no matter whether he can help or not. After all, Edward, Johnson and others did not ignore him after he disappeared!
"Well, you guys eat first, and then take a rest after you're full, and then take me with you to find Duke Edward!"
Gervis immediately stood up from the main seat and gave orders to several griffin knights.
"Okay, Lord Gervis!"
The Griffin Knight who was eating five or six meters away saw Gervis stand up, and immediately put down the food in his hand, stood up, and saluted him respectfully.
"Um!"
Gervis nodded and walked out of the temple.
After Gervis left, the griffin knights sat down and continued eating.
…
After leaving the temple, Gervis went directly to the sacred forest to inform Caroline that he was going out, and asked her to prepare three days' worth of dry food. He also arranged some matters that needed attention next.
After finishing the instructions, Gervis returned to Saint Coe City and found Gandalf, Ik and Hayden, and told them to pay attention to the surrounding movements during the next few days.
Finally, he handed a purple scroll to Gandalf, and told his father that if there was any irresistible danger, he should let the swift dragon bird take the scroll and release it outside the city.
This scroll was exactly what Gervis had tricked from Adela. He had kept it in the space ring and had never used it. This time he could use it just in case.
…
"Walk!"
After explaining everything clearly, Gervis took his squadron of magicians on board the swift dragon birds. With his order, ninety-nine swift dragon birds and ten griffins took off at the same time and flew quickly towards the east.
Judging from the new map brought out by the Griffin Knight Captain, the city of Saint Coe is more than 500 miles away from the city of Saint Ann in Gervis, and there are heavy mountains in between.
Gervis did not expect that he was chased all the way by the Golden Shield Family and his direction had deviated so much. In fact, Saint Ann City had already reached the area of the Golden Shield Family.
However, their place is not on the main road, and it is also the border between two indigenous forces with different beliefs, so the Golden Shield Family has not taken care of this side for the time being.
A distance of four or five hundred miles only takes one day for a swift dragon bird to fly at full speed.
However, in order to be cautious, Gervis finally chose to rest at night.
So when they arrived near the city of Saint Coe, it was already afternoon of the next day.
When they were able to see the City of Shengke with their naked eyes, they were shocked to find that there were more than 100,000 people fighting outside the City of Shengke.
…
"My Lord Duke, it's bad, there is a large group of swift dragon birds!"
Gervis and his men flew in from the west and were immediately discovered by Edward and his men who were fighting hard.
"How could there be a Swift Dragon Bird? We can't let them come over at this time!"
Before Edward could speak, Johnson exclaimed after looking at the sky.
"That bastard Batman is determined to fight us to the death!"
The other city lords who were fighting also cursed.
"Don't worry about them for now. Speed up and make sure to quickly open a breakthrough point so that the team can withdraw!"
Edward's face didn't look good either. At this time, the battle between the two sides was in a stalemate, and they no longer had the extra strength to intercept the squadron of swift dragon birds.
If the more than one hundred Dragon Bird Knights from the Golden Shield Family were allowed to cause trouble again, the situation would be out of control.
"That bastard Batman, we will definitely teach him a lesson after this matter is over!"
After hearing Edward's words, Johnson held the blood-stained sword and shouted angrily.
At this time, they naturally could not imagine that the squadron of swift dragon birds that the Golden Shield Family had worked so hard to train had become Gervis' private property.
When Gervis saw the battle here, he instantly increased his speed and directly overtook the griffins that were originally responsible for leading the way. This prevented Edward and others from seeing the griffin team mixed in behind.
"Go to hell, you despicable sea tribe natives!"
The next moment, Johnson did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately waved his sword and continued fighting, wishing he could kill all the fishmen around him with one sword.
Originally, they were in a sure win situation that day, but who knew that it was all just a plot by the natives.
The natives first pretended to be an exhausted army, and then were succumbed to the defeat.
After the 40,000 people in the Holy City Alliance had left the city to pursue for half a day, the sea tribe natives hiding in the sea suddenly came ashore and began to attack the city. The number of sea tribe natives attacking the city alone reached as many as 20,000.
In addition to this group of sea creatures attacking the city, there are tens of thousands of sea creatures lying in ambush in the sea dozens of miles ahead, joining the natives who are pretending to be defeated.
What happened next was that the roles of both parties began to be reversed.
The people who became members of the Holy City Alliance began to constantly evade pursuit. As their retreat was blocked, they had no way to retreat even if they wanted to, and they had to circle around with the more than 70,000 indigenous troops.
It was not until noon today that tens of thousands of support teams from the rear of several holy cities rushed over, which led to the current melee.
Edward and others personally went out to open the city gate and fight, and the team that had chased the natives also went outside the city to resist the pursuers. They would only wait for Gandalf and others to deal with the sea creatures blocking outside the city, and then they would retreat into the city.
However, because they have been wandering around outside for several days and have not been able to replenish their fighting spirit, they are already at a disadvantage and are now in an extremely unfavorable situation.
…
"What's going on? Why are there still sea people? No, these should be native sea people!"
As Gervis got closer and closer to the city of Saint Coe, he immediately discovered that the battle below was extremely chaotic.
The Holy City Alliance's team was actually split into two groups, and their enemies included not only the natives, but also a large number of strange sea creatures.
When Gervis saw these sea creatures for the first time, he was very surprised and thought that the sea creatures and the natives of the Holy Continent were mixed together.
But the next moment, when he saw the vast ocean more than ten miles away, he realized that these sea creatures were not the sea creatures on the sacred continent, but the natives of this divine falling land. After all, the sea creatures also have gods.
"Everyone, follow me closely. Target: those indigenous air knights ahead!"
The Holy City Alliance was already in danger, and Gervis did not dare to delay. He loudly gave orders to the slave soldiers and quickly flew over the battlefield.
