Chapter 465 Escape!

On the high platform, Gervais could still vaguely see the team of minor nobles.

But when Gervais entered the crowd of the defeated army, he found that he was a lonely boat in the sea, surrounded by soldiers who were hurriedly fleeing.

Fortunately, Gervais's unicorn was very tall, and it was also a magical beast. The defeated soldiers saw it from a distance and ran around in a detour.

After running all the way for four or five minutes, Gervais finally reached the right wing of the army, where the vassals of the Jones family were assigned today.

Gervais walked quickly while holding the rose flag. Taking advantage of the height of the unicorn, he finally saw a familiar figure.

"Pat!"

"Pat!"

Gervais saw Pat being protected by more than a dozen guards and running away, even his helmet was squeezed off. It was considered a loss of armor.

"Gervis, what's going on? We're obviously about to gain the upper hand. Why did you order a retreat?"

Although he was fat, Pat was fortunately still a titled knight and did not run out of breath, but the panic on his face was obvious.

Hearing the shout, he didn't see Gervais, but he saw the rose flag held high by Gervais. He immediately came over and asked urgently when he was in front of Gervais.

"The Holy Knights of the Church are here! And they are not evil! If you don't retreat, it will be too late! You run to the camp and prepare the carriage and horses. Alice is right there. Take away as many people as you can!"

"

"What, the Holy... Holy Knights are here?"

Fatty Pat was so frightened that the fat on his face shook. It was obvious that three thousand paladins were a huge terror in the eyes of these little nobles.

"Yes, time is running out! You should go back quickly! I still want to find my father and the others!"

"Okay, Gervais! Your father has just attacked forward with Baron Bertram and the others, and they should be still behind! Then I will go first, and you will come back soon!"

Pat was on foot at this time and did not say anything about staying and searching with Gervais. He responded to Gervais and continued to escape towards the camp under the protection of the guards.

Soon, Gervais saw his father and Bertram and his entourage in the rear. Most of the vassals of the Jones family were here. They would naturally unite in such a battle. Little Fatty Pat was a little afraid of death, so he didn't

Join them deeper into the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Gervais also breathed a sigh of relief, which saved him from continuing to search.

Arriving in front of Gandalf and others, Gervais quickly repeated to them about the Holy Knights, and then rode his war horse back to the camp first.

When Gervais arrived at the camp, Ike and others were already ready, and one hundred and thirty girls and the slave soldiers were already on the carriage.

"Ike, take them towards the City of Glory first. I will catch up with you later."

"Yes, sir!"

Gervais's prestige is now unquestionable, so after hearing the order, Ike and others did not say anything worried about Gervais wanting to stay, but simply led about twenty carriages towards the rear of the camp.

go.

At this moment, the fence behind the camp has long been destroyed. This was pushed by other earl families to facilitate their escape. Otherwise, the camp would have only one entrance, ensuring that no one could leave the camp quickly.

After Ike left, Gervais ran to the camp where Alice was.

"Gervas!"

Gervais had just arrived at Alice's camp, but unexpectedly saw Caroline.

Caroline shouted to him with surprise on her face.

"Caroline, why are you here?"

"My grandfather called me here. He said that he and the king would temporarily fend off the pursuers of the Principality of Xisis later, so it would be safer for me to run with you!"

"Okay! You wait here for a while, I'll go see Alice first!"

Gervais nodded and already saw Alice who was arranging a carriage not far away.

"How about it, Alice? How many carriages are there?"

"Originally, there were more than 200 carriages, but many carriages transported loot back to the City of Glory a few days ago. Now there are only more than 100 carriages available here."

A carriage can carry only ten people, which is already the limit. A few more people will not be able to sit on it, and even the horses pulling it will not be able to run. So more than a hundred vehicles means that it can only carry an infantry of a thousand people, and some

The carriage also contained rations for the retreat.

"Alice, one hundred vehicles is one hundred vehicles. We can't wait any longer. We must leave now! Once the Alban Principality is completely defeated, we will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Holy Knights!"

Alice brought a total of more than 2,000 people with her during this southern expedition. In addition to the 500 Rose Knights, plus some who died in battle, there were more than 400 infantrymen and auxiliaries responsible for logistics.

In other words, Alice had to give up more than 400 people. These people did not have carriages and could not keep up with the large army on their legs. In the end, they were either killed or captured.

"good!"

Although Alice was a woman, she was trained as an heir by the old count. She knew the key to making a choice. She gritted her teeth and agreed, and then quickly began to order the soldiers to get on the carriage and start evacuating.

When Alice arranged for all the elite infantry to leave, Gandalf and others also returned to the camp.

Because Gervais had photographed Ike in advance to remind them, their carriage had already been emptied and they could leave immediately after returning to the camp.

So Gervais and his party retreated towards the City of Glory under the escort of the Rose Knight.

At this moment, the road ahead was full of panicked and defeated soldiers. They had either been abandoned or separated from the team, and could only flee in panic along with most of the defeated soldiers.

Fortunately, this area is all flat grassland, so you can travel smoothly no matter where you go. Gervais and others avoided densely populated areas and traveled quickly in the open wilderness.

After Gervais and his party left, the main camp of the Principality of Alban was finally breached by three thousand holy knights. King Hayden and his few remaining elite knights resisted for a while and then quickly evacuated.

And the direction in which they evacuated was exactly the same as that of the Principality of Zeon.

The team of the Principality of Xixis and the Holy Knights all came from the direction of King Hayden City, which means that the King City of Hayden is probably in danger. Now the people of the Principality of Alban can only evacuate towards the direction of Maiye City, looking for a

The big city will try to find a way to compete with the church.

Otherwise, fighting with three thousand Holy Knights in the wilderness will only lead to death.



Two days after the defeat.

On the road to Maiye City, a strange scene occurred. The army of the Principality of Alban and the army of the Principality of Jean were walking on the same road at the same time.

The two hostile parties, who had been at war with each other for decades, did not have any friction.

But now, all those who can come here are elite soldiers or nobles from both countries.

Because they were either riding horses or carriages. As for the soldiers on foot, they had long been left behind, and it was not known whether they were killed or captured.

However, at this moment, they were no longer in the mood to care about the situation of their comrades in the rear, because their current situation was not very safe.

The Principality of Alban and the Principality of Jean send out dozens of waves of rangers every day to continuously investigate the situation in the rear.

Judging from the Rangers' reconnaissance situation.

Although most of the cavalry of the Principality of Xixis and the Holy Knights of the Church were slowed down by the defeated infantry, tens of thousands of cavalry were still stationed behind them and pressed forward step by step.

Among them, the cavalry of the Principality of Xisis numbered 9,000, and the Holy Knights numbered 1,000.

This made the nobles of the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban not dare to delay for a moment.

Except for meals and the necessary four or five hours of rest at night, the rest of the time is spent on the road.

Even at this speed, the nobles still didn't feel safe. If it weren't for the fear that the horses wouldn't be able to bear it, the young nobles could just lie on the carriage and let the soldiers drive day and night.
