Chapter 840: Pursuit

After thinking about it, Gervais got dressed and walked out of the hut directly!

"Gervais! Attaboy! ”

Gervais came to the gates of the City of Grace, and Edward immediately stepped forward to compliment him when he saw him.

"Thank you Duke Edward for the compliment, it's just luck!"

Gervais was very modest, smiling and shirking.

"Haha, Lord Gervais! We just heard from your subordinates that there are 20,000 people attacking your city this time, and there are at least 16,000 Golden Knights alone. ”

When Johnson heard Gervais's words, he immediately squeezed up, patted Gervais directly on the shoulder and began to raise the bar.

Gwiston showed an embarrassed expression, in fact, today's battle was no worse than any holy city, but he just wanted to keep a low profile in front of outsiders.

"Gervais, I heard that Bartman personally brought someone here this time?"

Edward didn't hold on to Gervais, and even changed the subject.

"Yes, Bartman himself came, and just escaped!"

Gervais nodded, ready to begin talking to Edward.

"Duke Edward, Bartman only took more than three thousand people with him in this retreat, I think we can deal with him at once this time! What do you think? ”

Gervais is not ready to let Bartman go, and immediately began to test the mouth of Edward and others, and the strength of his single family in Stormwind City is not enough to eat Bartman, after all, Bartman has many allies in the Godfall Land.

But if Edward and the others also participated, then things would be much simpler.

"More than 16,000 elites came, and only 3,000 escaped?"

Edward couldn't help but be surprised, although they heard how many people Baartman came, they didn't know the results of Gervais's battle, after all, it was still being counted.

Edward didn't answer immediately, but began to think, his eyes lit up.

"Duke Edward, I think it's feasible, the Golden Shield family has repeatedly troubled us, it's better for us to take advantage of this opportunity to solve him directly!"

Edward was still thinking about it, but Johnson on the side immediately agreed with Gervais's idea.

Gervais's results this time really impressed him, but he was also even more glad that he was good friends with Gervais.

"That's right! This time, the Golden Shield family has lost so many people, and it will definitely not be able to mobilize soldiers and horses to come to the Godfall Land for a while, so it is better for us to clean him up! ”

At that moment, another Holy City Lord spoke up.

"Yes! However, let's pursue first, and the follow-up will depend on the development of things, I don't know if those allies of the Golden Shield family will resolutely stand with him at that time! ”

"In addition, we must also find a way to occupy the next indigenous city, and we can't give it to other holy cities, otherwise it will be very detrimental to our future development in the Godfall Land!"

After several city lords had expressed their opinions, Edward finally nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Duke Edward, city lords! You must be tired from all the way around, let's go to the city first and have a good meal, and then set off to chase Bartman! ”

Seeing that none of the city lords objected, Gervais was very happy and immediately invited the people into St. Ann's City.

……

After feasting several Holy City lords in the Holy Grace City, Gervais arranged the prisoners, did not do any extra rest, and immediately led the team to follow Edward and the others and marched towards the west.

In this pull-out, Gervais led most of the soldiers and horses were missing.

In today's battle, they killed and wounded more than 6,000 people and captured more than 6,000 people in the Golden Shield family.

The reason for this achievement is that the mage and the sea clan in the moat have made great contributions.

Especially the magicians, with their help behind them, it directly made the golden knights of the Golden Shield family afraid to show their heads.

And the fifty air magicians led by Ryuuji have become harvesters on the battlefield.

Of course, with such brilliant results, the losses of Gervais's men were unprecedentedly huge.

In today's battle, the direct guards died 200 people and seriously wounded more than 300.

Although the Sea Clan fought fiercely on the moat, there were also more than 200 casualties.

Even Gervais's apprentice magician died more than a dozen people.

As for the lightly injured Gervais, there is no longer a count, because there is a medical team, even if it is a seriously injured person, as long as it does not die on the spot, it can basically be saved, let alone a minor injury.

In this way, the total number of casualties in Gervais this time reached more than 700.

In order to be able to safely watch the captives of the Golden Shield family, Gervais left behind more than 300 soldiers of the direct guard and more than 300 soldiers of the Sea Clan.

They will remain in the city of Holy Grace to watch over the captives until the city of St. Ann gets the news and sends people to help.

……

After leaving the City of Grace, Gervais traveled west with Edward and others.

However, the pace of the pursuit was much slower than Gervais had expected.

Because the total strength of their more than ten holy cities has reached seventy or eighty thousand.

Seventy or eighty thousand men, plus countless wagons and supplies, it was not until the evening of the next day that Gervais and his men saw the first city.

……

"Lord Duke, there is the banner of the Golden Shield family on this city wall, but there are few guards guarding the city, and there are no personnel activities in the city!"

Two miles away from the city, Gervais and the others stood on the dirt slope and observed the city in front of them, and the scouts who had just been sent to reconnoiter had already returned on griffons and reported the situation in the city.

"No one? It seems that Bartman has abandoned the city! ”

Gervais and the others were not surprised, they encountered two waves of air scouts from the Golden Shield Family when they arrived this morning.

Even if Bartman had stayed in the city, he would have run away long ago.

The only thing they were a little unsure about now was where Bartman would go next.

Whether to return to his base camp, or to follow him to the other side of the river.

If Bartman returned directly to the base camp, where there was the Golden Shield Family's godfall passage, and Bartman could get support immediately, then there would be no need for Gervais and them to pursue again, after all, it was someone's nest, and it must be a difficult bone to gnaw.

But if Bartman doesn't choose to return to the base camp, then they can still pursue it.

"Duke Edward, it's better to do this, let's directly send the air knight to the city to catch a few soldiers of the Golden Shield family and ask, and then make plans!"

Gervais immediately proposed.

"Yes!"

Edward had the same idea and immediately agreed with Gervais's words.

Fifty flying beasts were then sent directly from Gervais and Sky City to that city.

At this time, there were less than two hundred soldiers guarding the city, and in about a quarter of an hour, the gates of the city were opened.

Several prisoners were immediately sent from within the city.

After interrogation in batches, Gervais and the others learned that Bartman did not return to the base camp, but crossed the river directly to the other side.

Because the day before yesterday, part of Baatman's forces and his allies had gone to the other side of the river.

"It seems that Bartman didn't expect to lose the battle when he first came to Grace City! Otherwise, the attack on the natives would not have been arranged earlier! ”

Gervais couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"That's for sure! If it were me, I wouldn't think I would lose, 20,000 against 5,000, and there is still a big gap in strength! ”

"To be honest, Lord Gervais, I still can't figure out why Bartman was defeated!"

Johnson immediately added!

"Haha! It's just luck! It's just luck! ”

Naturally, Gervais didn't want to elaborate on how he defeated Bartman and his subordinates, so he directly played perfunctory.

Then he paused, and immediately changed the topic.

"Duke Edward, city lords, let's cross the river now!"

This time the news is good news, at least Bartman did not return to the base camp, and Gervais still has a chance to take revenge.

"Good! Let's go! ”

Subsequently, Gervais and the others directly reversed direction and prepared to cross the river to the opposite bank, pursuing Baartman while penetrating deep into the ninterland of the natives.
