Chapter 741: Returning the Way You Came?
"What then! Mentor, why don't we go back the way we came now and join up with Johnson and Lord Bruno? ”
Gust and the others didn't know what the Golden Shield Family represented in the Sacred Continent, but Winton knew it clearly.
This time, since the Golden Shield family chose to make a move, the more than 500 people in their group would definitely not be able to resist.
For now, the best plan is to evacuate directly, go back and join the team of Johnson and others, and at that time, even if the Golden Shield family is arrogant, they will not dare to directly clash with Johnson and other city lords in the land of Godfall.
Gervais didn't answer Winton right away, but instead pulled out a simple map and started looking at it.
To the east of Gervais is the area demarcated by Sky City, and there must be no enemies, so the pursuit team sent by the Golden Shield Family can only come from the west.
The route from the west, from this map, was only one way to go, and it had to be from the fork in the second city they had crossed the previous night.
The second city they now have is only more than twenty miles away, and now they may really be able to run back to the sphere of influence of Sky City and join up with other holy cities before the Golden Shield Family catches up.
But that meant that his hopes of capturing a city as a base were dashed, and if he couldn't capture a city of his own within thirty days, the only chance for the passage to move would be missed.
There was another point that made Gervais not prepared to choose the same way to return, if they passed in front of those two cities in broad daylight, the natives in the cities would immediately see their strength.
At that time, these natives are expected to rush out of the city directly to destroy them, maybe they will have to fight with the natives before the Golden Shield family arrives.
"Your Majesty, there is a bridge here, or we will cross this bridge directly at that time, and we will not be far from the team of the city lord of Johnson and others by then!"
"And we're attacking from behind now, so we don't have to worry about the natives destroying the bridge."
Gust was also looking at the sketchy map in Gervais's hand.
He pointed to a bridge-shaped pattern on the edge of their target town.
He is also a veteran who led troops on the battlefield, so he naturally has the same vision as Gervais, and understands that returning now is tantamount to taking the initiative to deliver food to the natives.
So I thought of another way out.
The small city that Gervais chose could actually pass in the direction of Johnson and the others, but when passing from there, he had to cross a bridge outside the small city to cross the river to the other side in order to continue to capture the small city.
The reason why Gervais chose to take a detour was because he was afraid that when they went to attack, the wooden bridge would be occupied and destroyed by the natives, and if such a thing really happened, they would be blinded.
If you want a boat without a boat, the river is three or four hundred meters wide, and it is impossible to call the downstream under the depth of the water and the waves.
But now it's different, they have already made a detour at this time, even if the natives are guarding the bridge, they will definitely only pay attention to the direction of Johnson and the others? Surely Gervais and the others would be expected to raid from behind? So Gervais had a chance to take it before the natives destroyed the bridge.
When the time comes, he will occupy that bridge, which can be attacked and defended? Don't worry about any safety.
"Yes! Too risky to go back the way you came? We're probably going to be blocked by the natives, so we're going to have to go around the wooden bridge to the other side for now? At that time, even if the Golden Shield family really has chasers coming, then we can quickly evacuate and join Johnson and the others! ”
Gervais pondered for a moment? Gust's offer was immediately accepted.
Once you've decided what to do next? Gervais stood up and yelled at the team.
"Everyone! Speed up! Let's go! ”
Then, the whole team began to move forward quickly, and the speed was more than 30% faster than the previous days.
……
"Captain? Killing gods, they seem to have sped up? What to do? ”
Gervais and the others sped up their march? Half an hour's work was noticed by the dragon bird knight hovering overhead.
After last night's incident and the loss of three teammates, this Dragonbird team really hated Gervais.
So, last night there were already two teammates running non-stop to join the team that came to intercept and guide them? It will allow them to catch up with Gervais and the others faster.
At this time, Gervais suddenly accelerated, which was naturally not the situation they wanted to see.
"The men sent by the Duke will take a day and a half to arrive at the earliest? If they move fast, it will drag on even longer, and we must find a way to stop them! ”
Emby naturally hopes that Gervais and the others will be killed soon? When even began to wring his eyebrows and thought about it.
"That god-killing fireball technique is powerful, but? We fly to an altitude of two hundred meters? That fireball doesn't pose any threat to us! ”
"So? We're flying down to two hundred meters now, and then we're constantly attacking them, and if we can't kill them, we can distract them from moving fast! ”
Emby immediately came up with a way to try to slow down Gervais and the others.
"Good, Captain!"
Hearing his captain's words, the other four dragon bird knights immediately nodded.
Then the five of them lowered their altitude at the same time, and began to release the dark blue light of the previous night towards Gervais and the others.
"Oh no, those dragon bird knights in the sky have attacked!"
When the five Embi made a move in the sky, Gervais and the others below naturally noticed the situation for the first time.
The five clusters of light that appeared in the sky immediately stopped the entire team, and the soldiers nervously watched the dark blue ball of light, preparing to dodge.
"Fireball!"
"Fireball!"
Seeing this, Gervais immediately released five fireballs in a row into the air, heading towards those rapidly smashing blue balls of light.
Boom Boom!
As Gervais's fireball collided with the blue ball of light, red sparks burst into the air.
"Huh? A fireball can't be solved? ”
Gervais released a total of five fireballs, each of which blasted towards each dark blue ball of light, but when the orange-red collision spark dissipated, the dark blue ball of light only became smaller, but it did not disappear.
"Fireball!"
Gervais didn't dare to slack off, and immediately released five large fireballs towards those dark blue balls of light again.
Boom Boom!
Finally, this time it burst into flames, not only orange-red fire, but also a hint of blue light.
When the sparks were gone, the dark blue ball of light in the air had disappeared.
This meant that it would take two of Gervais's fireballs to counteract the dark blue light released by a dragon bird knight.
"Keep going! No matter what happens, you can't stop without my orders! ”
After making sure that he could block the ball of light released by the Dragon Bird Knight alone, Gervais gave a stern order to the stalled team.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, their group of more than 500 people continued to move forward.
"Captain, they're moving on!"
"Don't be afraid! Keep attacking them! It's good to hold them down even temporarily! ”
Seeing Gervais and the others continue to start marching, Emby was not in a hurry.
Immediately led his subordinates to continue the attack.
