Chapter 842 The Battle Begins!
When the shouts and the flames of the Golden Shield Family camp in the west disappeared, the city lords on Gervis' side gradually dispersed.
Early the next morning, Johnson led 5,000 of his men out of the camp to prepare for the first siege.
Woo woo!
As the horn was blown, Johnson's army began to advance towards the walls of the indigenous city.
At this time, city lords such as Gervis were sitting on soft chairs, ready to watch the battle.
Crash!
However, just as the battle was about to begin, two swift dragon birds suddenly fell from the sky. They were the scouts sent by Gervis.
In addition to Gervis's scouts, air knights from several other families could be seen swooping down from the sky, but their speed was only half a beat slower than that of the swift dragonbird.
"What's going on!"
Faced with the emergency landing of the scouts, the city lords naturally understood that something must have happened. They immediately stood up from their soft chairs and looked at Gervis's scouts.
"Your Majesty, the army of the Golden Shield Family in the west has set out! However, their direction of movement is not towards the holy city of the indigenous people, but towards our side! It is expected to arrive in ten minutes!"
After the two scouts under Gervis jumped off the Swift Dragon Bird, they immediately reported to Gervis.
"Coming towards us? What does Batman want to do?"
The city lords also heard their reports and immediately frowned and looked towards the west.
However, due to the obstruction of the city wall, everyone was unable to see the specific movements of the Golden Shield Family at this time.
Crash!
Crash!
"Your Excellency the Duke, there are unusual movements in the Golden Shield Family..."
At this time, as scouts from various families landed one after another, they brought the same news.
"How many people are there!"
Edward concentrated for a moment and then asked for the exit.
"At least fifty thousand people!"
"Fifty thousand people? Is the Golden Shield Family preparing to fight us?"
The city lords immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Everyone, go back and gather the men to form a battle array outside the camp!"
Edward did not hesitate and immediately gave orders to the city lords.
"Johnson, quickly withdraw your soldiers! The siege is temporarily stopped!"
"Yes, Duke Edward!"
At this time, Johnson's men had already reached the edge of the moat, and the natives on the city wall had already drawn their bows and arrows and began to attack.
Now that the Golden Shield Family is coming at us with such force, we definitely cannot fight on two fronts, so withdrawing now is the best option!
…
"Grevith, why are you back?"
When Gervis quickly returned to his camp, Gandalf was sitting in the open space wiping his sword. When he saw Gervis, he asked curiously.
"Father, gather everyone together immediately. There may be a big battle soon. The Golden Shield Family coalition is coming towards us!"
Gervais did not delay, but gave a brief reply to Gandalf, and sent him to gather the men.
"This...Okay, Gervis! I'll go gather some people now!"
Gandalf was stunned when he heard this sudden change, then he immediately put away his sword and stood up to gather people.
Soon, Gandalf notified his direct guards and sea soldiers!
More than 3,000 men under Gervis quickly moved out of the camp.
When he led the team to the wide field outside the camp, the teams of Edward, Johnson and others had already been arranged, all lined up in families.
At that moment, Gervis immediately commanded his men to line up on the far left side of the team.
When they had just formed their array, the Golden Shield Family coalition forces finally appeared not far from them.
Afterwards, the troops of both sides confronted each other outside this indigenous sacred city.
The number of the Golden Shield Family coalition forces is approximately over 50,000, while Gervis and his men have over 60,000.
Both sides left more than 10,000 people on guard in the camp to deal with any unexpected events.
The people who were most curious about this scene were the natives on the city wall. Originally they were the attacked party, but now they became spectators.
At this time, the walls of the city of gods were already filled with natives, all pointing and looking outside the city. They were all curious about why the invaders had started an infighting.
Of course, although they were curious, they had the same feeling as Gervis and the others last night, which was to expect the invaders outside the city to fight to the death.
…
At this time, the atmosphere outside the city was filled with solemnity and murderousness under the backdrop of the gleaming armor and swords. However, the two sides did not start fighting immediately.
The Golden Shield Family coalition forces took action first. A team of over a hundred people riding on magical beasts came towards the open space between the two armies.
"Everyone, let's go over and take a look!"
When Edward saw this situation, he immediately called out to Gervis and other city lords, and then they also led more than a hundred people to the central open space.
Soon, the two armies met in the center.
"Baartman, what do you want to do?"
After Edward stopped his magical mount, he immediately questioned Batman.
Although they had intended to hunt down Batman all the way, they were now under the indigenous sacred city.
If they fight to the death, they will probably be taken advantage of by the natives in the city.
This is a big city of the indigenous people. The military strength and strong men it possesses are no longer comparable to those small cities.
"Edward, you did something so despicable in Sky City, and now you're pretending to ask me what's going on?"
When Batman met Gervis and others, he did not look at other people at first, but glared at Gervis first.
Hearing Edward's question, he withdrew his gaze and refuted in a hostile tone.
"Baartman, what do you mean by that!"
Edward's face immediately turned cold. Batman said in front of so many people that his Sky City was despicable. This already concerned the family's reputation.
"You know what I mean, Edward!"
Crash!
Batman sneered, then took out several pieces of armor from his space ring and threw them on the ground. These were the armor worn by the attackers last night.
"Baartman, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't be so evasive. If you don't give me an explanation today, you will be responsible for all the consequences!"
Edward looked at the armor on the ground that was exactly the same as his subordinates, and had some guesses in his mind, but he still needed Batman to speak himself.
"Humph! Edward, do you think our Golden Shield family is really afraid of you? Since you are so despicable and sent people to attack us last night, don't play dumb now!"
Batman snorted coldly and pointed it out directly.
When Edward heard what Batman said, he was stunned. He didn't expect that he had guessed it right.
Johnson and other city lords looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Batterman, if you want to cause trouble, we will accompany you to the end! But what happened last night..."
Whoosh! "Duke Edward, be careful!"
When Edward reacted, his expression became even more unfriendly.
Just as he said, he was not afraid of a battle, but he couldn't let Sky City be framed, so he was about to explain.
But before he could finish his words, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from the crowd of people from the Golden Shield Family.
Gervis was at the right angle to see it clearly, so he immediately spoke up to remind him and quickly released a magic shield!
Bang! Crash!
Gervis's instant magic shield was cast on Edward, and it was an intermediate magic shield.
However, it was shattered on the spot by the hidden arrow.
Fortunately, with this buffer, Edward has reacted.
Ding! As Edward swung his sword, the hidden arrow, which had slowed down by three points, was directly deflected.
After deflecting the hidden weapon, Edward's face was gloomy.
"Baartman, how dare you plot against me!"
The next moment, Edward raised his sword and slashed forward.
"die!"
"kill!"
Seeing that the hidden weapon did not work, Batman showed a little disappointment.
But Edward had already taken action, so he immediately changed his weapons, and after a loud shout, he also attacked Edward! "Kill these shameless guys!"
"kill!"
After the two men started to take action, the other holy city lords began to react. Then Johnson and others, who were furious, roared and attacked the other city lord.
In an instant, what was originally a pre-war negotiation turned into the beginning of a major war.
Boom! More than a hundred people were fighting in the middle of the two armies, and the roar of swords clashing and colliding resounded throughout the wilderness.
The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and Batman blocked Edward's sword attack before speaking.
"retreat!"
Afterwards, the members of the Golden Shield Family coalition began to retreat one after another.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the Bartman army is no match for Gerves and his men.
But it was because Batman's real plan was to consume the military strength of both sides through a major war.
Therefore, the war was inevitable at this time, and there was no need for him to stay here and fight to the death. After all, besides Edward, Gervis was also someone he was very afraid of.
"Let's go back too!"
Seeing Batman and others retreating, Edward did not want to fight anymore and immediately asked everyone to return.
Afterwards, all the city lords returned to the army cursing.
But before returning, Gervis frowned and looked at Batman.
He felt that today's incident was full of conspiracy. Combined with the destroyed cities he encountered in the past few days, he became even more wary of Batman.
The only thing we don’t know at the moment is how big this conspiracy is!
Batman seemed to notice Gervis's gaze and immediately turned his head to look at Gervis.
The two men's eyes met, and Batman gave Gervis a vicious look.
"Old man! Let's see what you can do!"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then looked away! ...
Woo woo!
At this point, there is no possibility of a peaceful settlement between the two parties.
After returning to their respective armies, they began to arrange their attack formations in a hurry.
For such a field battle, the strategies of both sides were very simple, that is, both placed the Warcraft Cavalry in the front, and the infantry and long-range firepower followed closely behind! As the battle horn was blown, the armies of both sides immediately moved, with the Warcraft Cavalry taking the lead and charging towards the other side like a steel torrent.
