The journey of more than 100 miles, under the forced march of Gervais, had already arrived at dusk the next day.

He didn't encounter any natives along the way.

"City of Holy Grace! Sure enough, it's a good name! ”

Looking at the city wall, which was at least more than fifty meters high and nearly two miles wide, Gervais couldn't help but crack his mouth, revealing his white teeth and laughing heartily.

When he set out, he only thought about conquering one or two small cities and then got up and developed slowly, but things changed so quickly that the natives abandoned the city and could pick it up at will.

In addition to the large scale, the supporting moat is also more than fifty meters wide, which is much larger than the few occupied in front of Gervais.

In addition, a few hundred meters to the north and east is a large river that crosses it, and the water surface is two or three hundred meters wide, so this holy city is surrounded by water on both sides, and it can be said that it is an easy city to defend and difficult to attack.

And there was the remains of a charred wooden bridge on the river at this time, needless to say, it must have been the work of the natives themselves.

"Let's go into the city and have a look!"

Gervais couldn't wait to see what he had just 'picked up' inside the City of Grace, so with a wave of his hand, he led his men towards the city gate.

Coming to the city, the city of St. Grace is worthy of being a medium-sized city, with its wide streets and exquisite buildings one after another, which are much better than the city of St. Ann's.

Riding the giant crocodile brother all the way to the temple, this temple is at least seventy or eighty meters high, which is not a little more magnificent than the city of St. Ann.

"Father, you now arrange for someone to take over the entire city, and we will rest here tonight!"

When Gervais arrived at the temple, his only regret was to find that all the valuable objects and decorations inside had been taken away by the natives, even the stage decorations.

So he sat down casually in a chair and commanded Gandalf.

"Okay, Gervais!"

When Gandalf heard Gervais's words, he was not disappointed that the temple was empty, and immediately shook his beard and walked towards the outside of the temple.

Every time he occupies a city now, it means that his youngest son's sphere of influence has expanded even more.

And Gervais is strong, and the Gale family will also rise, and in the eyes of old nobles like Gandalf, as long as there is land, it means everything.

"I don't know where Edward and Johnson are advancing! I guess that's pretty much it! ”

After Gandalf left, Gervais fell into deep thought.

In just a few days, he has traveled four or five hundred miles, and it can be said that he has truly reached the hinterland of the natives.

Gervais speculated that there was little room for the natives to retreat, and that there was likely to be a real native, especially on the other side of the river.

At this time, he had already sent scouts to investigate, and if it was really as he expected, then this Holy Grace City could become his base camp for the next battle.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

Gervais was sitting at the long table to eat when the guards who were guarding outside walked in.

"Your Majesty, the scouts sent to reconnoiter the situation ahead are back!"

"Well, let him in!"

Gervais put down his knife and fork and commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, the leader of the scout team, who had been sent to reconnoiter the enemy, arrived at the temple.

"How's it going?"

Gervais asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, after crossing the river outside the city, there is a medium-sized city more than twenty miles away, which can accommodate at least about 200,000 residents, and there are many natives active inside and outside the city at this time!"

Sure enough, the scout's investigation confirmed Gervais's idea, and although the natives had narrowed down the scope of their defenses, they would definitely control strategic points at several key points.

"We wanted to continue to observe the details of the enemy army, but the natives in the city also discovered us, and immediately flew dozens of flying monsters from the city, and for safety, we immediately returned to the city of Holy Grace."

After silently listening to the scout's report, Gervais nodded and spoke.

"You go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When the guards retreated, Gervais began to think about it while eating.

A city of 200,000 people is already considered an upper-medium city in this Godfall Land.

That means that the other side of the river is a battleground for the natives, and if it happens, it will inevitably be a big war.

"In that case, then I'll wait here for Edward and them!"

For the rest of the journey, with Gervais alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to touch it again.

In the face of three or five thousand indigenous soldiers, Gervais can still fight, if the enemy has tens of thousands of troops, and it is still a siege battle, it is absolutely impossible to fight, and the casualties will inevitably be heavy.

Unless, Gervais is really willing to spend his money!

……

After waiting to meet Edward and the others in the city of Holy Grace, Gervais continued to enjoy dinner.

When Gervais had finished his dinner and was about to get up and go to the back garden to wash up, Gandalf hurried in again.

"Father, what's wrong?"

It was rare for Gervais to see such an anxious look from his cheap father, and hurriedly asked.

"Gervais, the scout who just went to the west to be in charge of the guard came back to report that he found a team ten miles to the west, with at least tens of thousands of people, and the direction of that team seems to be here!

"A team of tens of thousands? Did the scout see the identity of the other party, whether it was indigenous or not? ”

Gervais's face immediately became serious.

Now he is alone, and if this is a ploy of the natives, it is likely that he will capsize in the gutter.

"The scout captain said that it was a little dark, so he couldn't discern the specific identity of the opposing team, and he could only see them light torches and march quickly, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the City of Divine Grace in twenty minutes!"

Gandalf continued to explain.

"Let's go, father, let's go to the city wall!"

After listening to Gervais, it is naturally impossible to wash, and the army of unknown origin, they are now alone, and they must be strictly guarded against no matter what.

With that, Gervais rose from his chair and led Gandalf towards the outside of the temple.

As he walked, Gervais commanded to Ike behind him.

"Ike, you go and get Ryuichi and them ready, and all come to the city wall to standby!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

On the wall of the Holy Grace City, the sky was completely dark at this time, and the sky was full of stars, and with the soft light emitted by the bright moon, he could barely see the scene two or three hundred meters away in front of him, but it was gray and misty if it was far away.

The breeze was blowing, and the cloak behind Gervais fluttered slightly, and he stood still at the top of the wall, staring intently to the west.

"It's coming!"

Gervais suddenly said to Gandalf beside him!

I saw that on the road between the woods two miles away, a flickering flame suddenly appeared at the end of the original darkness.

As the first flames appeared, a procession of torches emerged from behind them like a long dragon.

"Ike, command to go down and light the fire!"

Seeing the procession on the road on the other side, Gervais immediately commanded Ike.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ike immediately answered Gervais's command, and then ran up the city wall to give the order.

"Your Majesty has an order, light a bonfire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As Ike delivered the order, bonfires lit up on the originally dark city walls.

And at the moment when the bonfire on the city of Holy Grace was lit, the marching procession in the distance seemed to have noticed the situation here, and the marching procession immediately stopped.

"Not indigenous? Or maybe just an unexpected team! ”

During this time, Gervais had been keeping an eye on the movements of the distant team, and the moment he saw them pause, he already had a judgment in his heart.

If the other party deliberately designed to ambush him, then they must have known that they were in the City of Holy Grace, so there would be no surprise about the bonfire that had just been lit.

And now the marching team stopped, indicating that the other party did not expect the appearance of Gervais and the others, and was taken aback!

In this way, no matter whether the other party is indigenous or not, Gervais can feel a lot more at ease, at least if he is not ambushed, the difficulty coefficient is suddenly reduced.

……

And Gervais's guess was very accurate, the team two miles away really did not expect someone to appear in the City of Holy Grace.

Their team belonged to the Golden Shield family, and was specially sent by Bartman to occupy the City of Holy Grace.

The natives fully contracted their defenses, and it was not only Gervais who picked up the bargain, but the other holy cities also picked up the bargain.

And yesterday evening, the Dragon Bird team of the Golden Shield Family explored the location of the Holy Grace City, and Gervais was still on the way at that time.

For such a medium-sized city, and it is located on the edge of a large river with convenient transportation, the Golden Shield family will naturally not let it go.

Therefore, after capturing a small city fifty miles ahead this morning, he immediately sent this team of 10,000 men to prepare to take this city, and now it has a master in this holy grace city.

"What's the matter, didn't the scout's report in the morning say that there is no one in this city of Divine Grace?"

The Golden Shield family has a total of three Red Banner Knight Commanders, and last time because they were sent to hunt down Gervais, one of them had already died, and that was Kitto who died outside St. Ann's City.

This time, the person in charge of leading the team was Ralph, one of the three Red Flag Knights of the Golden Shield family.

At this moment Ralph stopped his mount and looked intently at the City of Grace, his face unkind.

"Commander Lakar, the scout team also probed this morning, and there is indeed no sign of the natives, could it be that these natives returned across the river in the afternoon?"

The deputy commander beside Lakar also wrinkled his eyebrows.

"It's all to blame on that miscellaneous boy in Stormwind City, if it weren't for him, our Golden Shield Family's Dragon Bird Knight wouldn't be left with so much, but now it's just letting us run for nothing!"

The 10,000 people were responsible for one general and two deputy commanders, and the other deputy commander also echoed it, and at the same time scolded Gervais angrily by the way.

Because the Golden Shield Family's Dragon Bird Riders have been reduced by half, the number of Dragon Bird Knights they can assign is very limited in many cases.

For example, when they came this time, they didn't even have a dragon bird assigned to it, because the Duke was preparing to forcibly cross the river, so after confirming that there were no natives here, they felt that there was no need to send a dragon bird knight to act as a scout.

But I didn't expect that in just one afternoon, there would be people in this holy grace city.

After cursing, the deputy commander looked at Lakar and continued.

"Grand Commander Lakar, are we going back now, or are we ......"

"Tell the team, keep going, I want to see how this city of Divine Grace has people for no reason!"

Lakar thought for a moment before he made a decision.

Now that he had come to the city of holy grace, he naturally wanted to see what was going on.

The most important thing is that Bartman had confessed before he set out, asking him to occupy the city of Holy Grace, wait for tomorrow to cross the other side of the river, and then make a detour back from the other side to help the main team force cross the river.

Now, if he sees a few torches and returns, he will be too embarrassed as a commander.

As for security, Lakar is not worried, as long as he does not encounter the main force of the natives, he is confident that he will retreat safely with his men.

"Yes! Archon! ”

After that, the team of the Golden Shield Family continued to move towards the Holy Grace City.

……

"Who are you?"

Seven or eight minutes later, Lakar and the others had arrived a mile outside the city.

Raquel immediately sent his lieutenant to the edge of the moat to investigate the situation.

It was already night, so neither side could identify the other with the naked eye.

The deputy leader of the Golden Shield family was also simply, knowing that the traces of his people had already been exposed, and there was nothing to hide at this time, so he opened his mouth and shouted towards the city wall.

"Who are you?"

Gervais looked at the people on the edge of the moat by the faint moonlight, and asked rhetorically.

In fact, he already had a guess in his heart, since the people below were probably not natives, they must be the Golden Shield family or his allies.

After all, Gervais's west has always been the Golden Shield family and his allies.

"We belong to the Golden Shield Family!"

Hearing the rhetorical question on the city wall, the deputy commander was stunned, and he also vaguely guessed that Gervais and the others were probably not natives.

Because if the natives saw them coming, the first thing they would say would be you shameless invaders, not who you are.

After all, the south bank of the river had long since been abandoned by the natives, and it was impossible for their own people not to know about it.

"Huh? The Golden Shield Family? It's really a narrow road! ”

Gervais couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"I am from Stormwind, and I have taken over this city of Grace! You Golden Shield family can go back! ”

At the moment, Gervais did not hide it, and said coldly.

"What? Stormwind? Are you the wretched people who kill the gods? ”

The deputy commander below was startled, and then blurted out after him.

"Made, look for death!"

"Infernal Spear!"

When Gervais heard that this person was scolding himself in front of him, how could he endure it, and immediately released a backhand with a mid-level magic that he had just learned.

Chirp!

The Hellspear was a mid-level magic, a spear made of fire elementals, and it shot towards the man with a whizzing sound that broke through the air the moment the spell was cast.

"Shameless!"

The words of the commander below just now were just subconsciously spoken, who would have thought that the other party would be so decisive and began to attack, and as soon as he made a move, it was a mid-level magic.

Although the bright red arc of the Hellspear was particularly striking in the night, its speed was surprisingly fast, and even if he noticed it first, he didn't have much time to deal with it.

Seeing that the Hellish Spear was about to shoot in front of him, the commander could only curse secretly, and then directly rolled down from the demon wolf mount under him, and rolled on the ground without any scruples.

Rumble!

"Roar!"

The next moment, the Hell's Spear shot directly at the demon wolf he was riding.

I only heard the sound of the explosion accompanied by the terrible howl of the demon wolf, and the spear of hell directly penetrated the demon wolf's body, and after a while, the demon wolf was silent.

"You shameless bastards, wait for me!"

The commander didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately got up and ran into the distance, leaving a cruel word on the city wall!
