Chapter 741: Returning the same way?
"Then what should we do! Mentor, how about we go back to the original route and meet up with Johnson, City Lord Bruno and the others?"
Gust and others didn't know what the Golden Shield family actually represented in the Holy Continent, but Wenton knew it clearly.
Now that the Golden Shield family has chosen to take action this time, their group of more than 500 people will definitely not be able to resist.
The best plan for now is to evacuate directly and go back to join the team of Johnson and others. No matter how arrogant the Golden Shield family is, they will not dare to directly conflict with Johnson and other city lords in the Land of God's Fall.
Gervais did not answer Winton immediately, but chose to take out a simple map and start looking at it.
To the east of Gervais is the area designated by Sky City, and there must be no enemies. Therefore, the pursuit team sent by the Golden Shield family can only come from the west.
Judging from the map, there is only one way to go from the west, and it must take the branch road from the second city they crossed last night.
The second city in their current base is only more than twenty miles away. If they return the same way, they might be able to run back to the Sky City's sphere of influence and join other holy cities before the Golden Shield family catches up.
But this means that his hope of capturing a city as a base has come to nothing. If he cannot capture a city of his own within thirty days, the only opportunity to move the passage will be missed.
There is another point that prevents Gervais from choosing to return the same way. If they pass by those two cities in broad daylight, the natives in the cities will immediately be able to see the details of their strength.
At that time, these natives will probably rush out of the city to destroy them. Maybe they will have to fight fiercely with the natives before the Golden Shield family arrives.
"Your Majesty, there is a bridge here. If we don't cross it directly, we will not be far from the team of Lord Johnson and others!"
"And we are attacking suddenly from behind, so we don't have to worry about the natives destroying the bridge."
Gust was also looking at the simplified map in Gervais's hand.
He pointed at a bridge-shaped pattern next to the small town they were targeting this time and said.
He is also a veteran who has 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 town Gervais chose can actually be passed from the direction of Johnson and others, but when passing there, you have to cross a bridge outside the small town to cross the river to the other side, and then continue to capture the small town.
The reason Gervais chose to take a detour in the first place was because he was worried that when they went to attack, the wooden bridge would be occupied and destroyed by the indigenous people. If such a thing really happened at that time, they would be blind.
If there is no boat, the river is three to four hundred meters wide, and it is impossible to let the downstream people pass under the deep water and rough waves.
But it is different now. They have taken a detour at this time. Even if the natives are guarding the bridge, they will only pay attention to the direction of Johnson and others? Surely they will not expect that Gervais and others will attack from behind? So Gevis and others will attack from behind?
Weiss has a chance to occupy the bridge before the natives destroy it.
When the time comes for him to occupy that bridge, can he attack or defend it? There is no need to worry about any safety.
"Okay! The risk of returning the same way is too high? We are likely to be blocked by the natives, so for now we can only go around the wooden bridge to the other side? Even if the Golden Shield family really has pursuers, then we can
Evacuate quickly and join Johnson and others!"
Gervais thought for a moment and immediately accepted Gust's proposal.
After deciding what to do next, Gervais stood up and yelled at the entire team.
"Everyone! Speed up! Let's go now!"
Afterwards, the entire team began to move forward quickly, and the speed was more than 30% faster than the previous few days.
…
"Captain? God of Death and the others seem to be speeding up? What should I do?"
Gervais and others increased their speed. It took half an hour for them to be noticed by the Dragon Bird Knight hovering overhead.
After last night's incident and the loss of three teammates, this Dragon Bird team truly hated Gervais.
Therefore, two teammates ran non-stop last night to join the team that came to intercept and serve as guides for them? This would allow them to catch up with Gervais and others faster.
At this time, Gervais suddenly accelerated, which was naturally not what they wanted to see.
"It will take a day and a half for the men sent by the Duke to arrive at the fastest? If they move forward quickly, it will take even longer. We must find a way to stop their progress!"
Naturally, Enbi also hoped that Gervais and others would be killed quickly? Dangjie began to frown and think.
"Although the God-killing fireball technique is powerful, if we fly to a height of two hundred meters, then the fireball will not pose any threat to us!"
"Is this like this? We will now fly to the bottom of two hundred meters, and then start attacking them continuously. Even if we cannot kill them, we can still distract them and prevent them from traveling fast!"
Enbi immediately thought of a way to try and slow down Gervais and others.
"Okay, Captain!"
Hearing their captain's words, the other four Dragon Bird Knights nodded immediately.
Then the five people lowered their altitude at the same time, and then began to release the faint blue light group from last night towards Gervais and the others.
"No, those dragon bird knights in the sky are attacking!"
When the five people from Enbi made some moves in the sky, Gervais and others below naturally noticed the situation immediately.
The five balls of light that appeared in the sky immediately stopped the entire team. The soldiers were nervously paying attention to the blue ball of light, preparing to avoid it.
"Fireball!"
"Fireball!"
Seeing this, Gervais immediately released five fireballs in succession into the air, heading towards the bluish light balls that were rushing towards them.
Boom boom boom!
As Gervais's fireball hit the blue light ball, red sparks immediately exploded in the air.
"Huh? A fireball can't solve it?"
Gervais released a total of five fireballs, blasting towards each blue light ball respectively. However, after the orange-red collision sparks dissipated, the blue light balls only became smaller, but did not disappear.
"Fireball!"
Gervais did not dare to neglect, and immediately released five large fireballs towards those faint blue light balls.
Boom boom boom!
Finally, what exploded this time was not only orange-red fire, but also mixed with traces of blue light.
When the sparks dissipated, the blue ball of light in the sky also disappeared.
This shows that only two fireballs from Gervais can offset the blue light group released by the Dragon Bird Knight.
"Keep going! Without my order, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to stop!"
After confirming that he alone could block the ball of light released by the Dragon Bird Knight, Gervais gave stern orders to the stopped team.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, their team of more than 500 people continued to move forward.
"Captain, they are moving forward!"
"Don't be afraid! Keep attacking them! Even if it temporarily delays them, it's good!"
Seeing Gervais and others continue to march, Enbi was not in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
