Chapter 101: Pursuit

Black Rock City Lord's Mansion, sitting at the table, Meng Fan's face was gloomy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the thirteenth day that the dark mage Mar Sahar has traveled to the Fallen Pine Hills, and Mar Sahar has said that he will bring Dwarven reinforcements in ten days, but now it is three days beyond the agreed date.

The dwarven army did not appear, was it because the dwarven king refused to come to his aid? Or did Mar Sahar encounter something else in the Fallen Pine Hills? Meng Fan was restless at the moment.

Parker, the butler of the Lord's Mansion, came to Meng Fan's side with dinner, "Claude, eat something, you haven't eaten food all day today." Parker placed the plate with the dinner on the table.

Meng Fan glanced at the food on the plate and shook his head, "Claude, you have the strength to think only when you have a full stomach." Parker picked up a piece of bread and handed it to Meng Fan.

With a wave of his hand, he swept the bread away from Parker's hand, "I said I wouldn't eat it." Meng Fan stared at Parker in front of him and shouted loudly, Meng Fan's sudden anger stunned Parker.

The sound of footsteps came in a hurry, and the temporary commander of the royal army, Oram, and the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, Dorne, came to the house.

"Lord Claude, there is already a gap in the eastern wall, and Lord Dorne and I have decided to abandon Blackstone City and retreat to the rear of Ziyang City with our army. Oram said to Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, who was sitting in a chair.

The French army besieged the city for six days, and the catapults continued to throw stones at the city walls, and the low walls of the city could not withstand the attacks of the catapults, and they were about to collapse.

Oram decided to withdraw his troops from Blackstone City and retreat to Ziyang City in the rear. Although Meng Fan was unwilling to give up Black Rock City, there was no reason for Oram and Dorn to stay in Black Rock City anymore, and the Dwarven Clan's reinforcements had already exceeded the originally scheduled arrival period.

"Lord Claude, do you want to stay in this Black Rock City, or do you want to retreat to Purple Sun City with us?" Oram asked, "I ......" Meng Fan had a struggling look in his eyes.

Parker, who was standing on the side, felt very uncomfortable when he saw Claude's appearance, if only he could help, but Parker neither knew military tactics nor martial arts, so he couldn't help Claude, and for the first time in his life, Parker felt frustrated that he was useless.

"Lord Claude. A hoarse voice came over, Oram, and Dorne turned, and a man in a black robe walked in from outside the house.

"Mar Saha. Meng Fan suddenly stood up from his chair. "Lord Claude, I'm sorry, but my subordinates are only rushing back now. Mar Sahar came to Meng Fan and bowed.

"Mar Saha, where is the army of the dwarves?" Meng Fan asked urgently, grabbing Mar Saha's arm. "They've come with me. Marzahar replied, looking up.

"Where is it? Where is the army of the dwarf clan?" Meng Fan, who was finally relieved, said, "I let them stay outside, Lord Claude, the dwarf clan only came with five thousand warriors, if they are allowed to attack the French army directly, they may be able to repel the Francois outside the city, but they can't wipe out all these Francos, Lord Claude, we have to think of a good way to wipe out the Fran army." Mar Saha stared at Meng Fan in front of him and said.

Mar Sahar was right, there were 60,000 Frank troops outside Blackstone, and it was difficult for only 5,000 dwarven warriors to kill all of them, and it was necessary to have the cooperation of the Gilgidian army.

"Parker, help me get the map. Meng Fan said to Parker who was standing on the side, Meng Fan's face regained its former brilliance, the dwarven reinforcements have come, and now Meng Fan wants to make a battle plan, Meng Fan wants to let these Franks who have oppressed him for many days have a good taste of despair.

"Marshal, the Gilgidian army has escaped from Black Stone. After six days of fighting, the French army finally took the city of Black Rock, and the French general Guterny who entered the city came to report to the French commander Gerald.

"Pursuit, we can't let these Kyrgynians escape into Ziyang City. Gerald decisively gave the order to continue the pursuit. "Yes, Marshal. Guterny gathered his men and prepared to pursue the Gilgidian army as they fled from the city.

Turning over and mounting, Gerald took his weapon, the Wind Lance, from the guards.

"Gerald, are you also going to take part in the pursuit of the Gilgidian army?" Sophia, the wife of the commander of the French army and the head of the Silver Knights, looked up at her husband Gerald on horseback.

"That's right, Sofia, the Silver Knights are with me, we are going to completely defeat this Gilgidian army, which will make our next move even more advantageous. Gerald spoke.

If all these Kyrgyians who tried to escape into Ziyang City can be eliminated, then it will be easier for the French army to launch an attack on Ziyang City, and once Ziyang City is also captured, the entire northeastern part of Gilgia will become the territory of the Fran Kingdom.

At that time, the Fran Kingdom will no longer be the smallest human kingdom on the Qinglan Continent, and the commander of the Fran Army, Geral, will also become famous among the nine kingdoms because of this war.

The Gilgidian army fled in front, and the Francois pursued in the rear. After more than two hours of pursuit, the Francois army was about to catch up with the fleeing Kyrgidian army.

"Marshal, the Kyrgyians are ahead. Guterny faintly saw the flag of the Kyrgian army fluttering in front of him. "Let's get up to speed. Gerald, who was on his horse, said loudly.

Soon after, the Fran army, which had passed through a forest, finally caught up with the fleeing Gilgidian army outside the forest.

Gerald, the commander of the French army, who was leading his army through the forest, saw a strange sight outside the forest, and directly ahead, the Gilgidian army did not continue to flee, but waited for his side in a neat formation.

Gerald reined in the reins, and the Francois stopped their pursuit, and the two armies confronted each other in the open field.

"Gerald, the Gilgidians, are lining up to meet us. Sophia, the head of the Silver Knights, rode to her husband's side. "They knew they couldn't run, so they had to fight to the death with us. Francois General Guterni said on the side.

"But...... Why did the Kyrgyz army meet us in such an orderly formation? Once the withdrawal began, it would not be easy to quickly gather the troops and turn around to fight. Sophia spoke.

The Kyrgyz army fled all the way from Black Rock City, and according to common sense, the soldiers who abandoned the city and fled would scatter in all directions in panic, and it was difficult for the commander to gather the army at once and turn back to fight the enemy, but judging from the well-organized Kyrgyz army on the opposite side, these Kyrgyians seemed to be making a premeditated retreat.

"Guterni, you first lead your troops to make a tentative attack on these Kyrgias. Gerald ordered Guterney. "Yes, Marshal. Guterny led his troops and rushed towards the Gilgidian army in front.

Soon, the two armies were engaged in fierce fighting. The commander of the French army, Gerald, and his Silver Knights stayed not far away and watched.

More than twenty minutes of battle have passed, and there are no abnormal signs on the battlefield, "The Kyrgynian army that escaped from Black Rock City is here, these Kyrgiians are making a final fight, there should be no more traps, Sophia, gather the Silver Knights, and prepare to join the battle." Gerald spoke.

Sophia beside her nodded, put on her silver helmet, Sophia pulled out the long sword at her waist, and the soldiers of the Silver Knights followed the beautiful leader Sophia and rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
