When Gervais and his party of seventy or eighty thousand people came to the edge of the river, they saw a broken bridge that had been burned black.

Judging from the traces on the bridge, this was not done by Bartman and others, and it is clear that the aborigines burned it when they evacuated, just like the outside of the city of Holy Grace.

Faced with this large river with a width of two or three hundred meters, in the absence of boats, it must have been a big problem for them to cross the river.

However, with the presence of Gervais's 2,000 Sea Clan soldiers this time, their crossing of the river became easy and quick.

The army cut down the trees, tied them with twine, made a simple raft, and lowered them into the river, where the Sea Clan soldiers would push the raft across the river.

With the help of the Sea Clan soldiers, the safety of the raft during the river crossing was greatly guaranteed, and each large raft could reach the opposite bank safely.

The crossing of the river by Gervais and his party continued until the second half of the night.

When everyone was safely on the other side of the river, Gervais and the others set up camp directly by the river to rest.

When the lunch meal was completed the next day, the team began to move again.

The next morning, they finally came to the first medium-sized city of the natives.

However, when they came to the medium-sized city, they found it in ruins.

At this time, the city was full of ruins, many of the blackened houses were still emitting smoke, and what was even more cruel was that the city was full of aboriginal corpses that no one had collected.

"Bartman, what do they want to do?"

Gervais, Edward, and the others came to the city, and frowned when they saw the corpses and ruins of the natives all over the ground.

"Such a medium-sized city, after Baartman captured it, not only did it occupy it, but it was even burned directly! Could it be that the natives themselves set the fire? ”

"It can't be a fire set by the natives, you see that the temple is not there, it has already collapsed! Even if the natives are defeated, they will never destroy their temple! ”

At that moment, the city lords also began to discuss.

Gervais and Edward listened silently to the discussion of the city lords, and each continued to look around, hoping to find any clues.

Originally, each family came to this Godfall Land to occupy the city and land, and then grab the resources in the Godfall Land, and it was not in their interests to destroy the cities that had already been captured, and it was extremely abnormal for the Golden Shield Family and those holy cities to do so.

"Gervais, why do you think the Golden Shield Family is doing this?"

Edward looked around for a long time, but also found nothing, and finally saw that Gervais was still looking at him, so he asked Gervais.

"I don't know why the Golden Shield family did this!"

When Gervais heard the inquiry, he immediately withdrew his gaze and shook his head in reply to Edward.

Then, after a pause, he continued.

"Anyway, we'll have to be careful!"

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and Gervais thinks that Bartman may have some kind of conspiracy in doing this.

"I think so too!"

Edward agreed.

Next, everyone continued to check the city for a while, and after finding no clues, they exited the city, and then continued on the road in the direction of the indigenous city.

Because of this incident, the next forward Gervais and they became cautious, the original scout reconnaissance range was only more than twenty miles, but now it has been changed to more than fifty miles, and the number of people has also doubled.

And so, Gervais and the others went on for several more days.

However, there was something more confusing about the rest of the journey, because the few indigenous cities they encountered later were the same as before, the cities were breached and burned, and the natives inside were killed.

And there are four such cities in total.

"Baartman, bastards, are they ready to kill the natives? How much manpower and material resources did it take to build a city, and it was burned down like this! ”

"That's right, such a medium-sized city would be perfect if it could have been used as a stronghold, but now it's in ruins!"

According to the investigation situation in the previous two days, the location where they were at this time was already the last of the natives except for the main shrine of the Great City.

In other words, if they go further, it will be the nest of the natives.

At this time, the five ruined cities they saw in a row were burned, and this situation was indescribably strange.

What's more, they didn't even see the shadow of Bartman and the others all the way here.

"Let's move on! No matter what the hell Bartman does, we will fight for the big city of the natives, if it is occupied by Bartman, it will be very disadvantageous to us in the future! ”

"In particular, the surrounding city has been destroyed a lot by Baatman, and if you want to use it as a stronghold in the future, you can only take that big city."

Edward waved his hand at the city lords who were scolding Batman's insaneness, and motioned for the army to continue on their way.

After hearing Edward's words, the city lords stopped complaining and continued to lead their men forward.

And Gervais was a little uneasy at the center of the team at this time.

Bartman's approach reminded Gervais of the fortified Qingye in his previous life.

Although Gervais and they are not short of food or siege equipment, he always feels that Bartman is likely to have such a plan, and if he can give up so many cities, Bartman's plan may not be simple.

Later, Gervais also approached Edward to inform him of his concerns.

Edward agrees that Bartman must have some plans, but it is imperative to go to the big cities of the natives, so they can only move on first.

The only thing that can be done now is to cheer up the scouts.

In this way, if Bartman really has some conspiracy, they can also find out and respond earlier.

……

After three days of careful travel, Gervais and the others finally arrived at the great city where the main temple of the natives was located.

This is a super city comparable to the city of hope, the walls are hundreds of meters high, and the length and width are not visible at all, and this city can accommodate at least millions of people.

And what Gervais and the others didn't understand was that the conspiracy they feared didn't come about.

Because when they arrived in the city, they finally found Bartman and his allies.

Baartman, with more than 70,000 men, was attacking the natives of the city to the west of the city.

The situation on the Golden Shield family's side, Gervais, they had just sent scouts to observe on the periphery.

Their attack seemed to be serious, for there were already two or three thousand corpses piled up under the walls.

Under such circumstances, the Golden Shield family and his allies simply did not have the energy to calculate Gervais and the others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, the big city of the indigenous people is in front of you, and the Golden Shield Family and his alliance Holy City in the west are already attacking the city, so we must also speed up and prepare for the siege, and we must not let the Golden Shield Family take the lead!"

After setting up camp directly to the east of the city, Edward immediately gathered a group of holy city lords to begin to discuss.

"I agree with Duke Edward's words, this great indigenous city must not be robbed by the Golden Shield family!"

"I'm for it too!"

"I'm for it too!

Edward's voice fell, and the city lords spoke in agreement.

At this time, it has been determined that the Golden Shield Family and others are attacking the city with all their might, and they have also relaxed a lot, at least for now, it seems that the Golden Shield Family has no conspiracy.

"Very good, since everyone has no opinion, then we will repair it for a morning, and prepare siege equipment by the way! The siege will begin again in the afternoon! ”

Seeing that no one objected, Edward immediately made a decision.

"So, let's assign the order of the attack!"

It is impossible to capture such a big city in a day or two, so it is a protracted siege battle.

And in order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, it is necessary to conduct wheel warfare first with the family as a unit, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of each family.

"Duke Johnson, you guys will shoot in the first round! Do you have any comments? ”

At that moment, Edward began to distribute the order of attack.

"No problem, Duke Edward!"

"Duke Osney, you ......"
