Chapter 758 Edward's doubts
"Your Majesty the Duke! The Griffin team has searched along the road to the small city on the other side, but they have not found Lord Gervais!"
"Have you searched the area near the road? Have you found any traces of fighting on the road?"
Edward sat in a temporary meeting tent, listening to his subordinates' reports and asking questions in a deep voice.
"Back to the Duke, my subordinates led two teams with a total of twenty people to search, but nothing was found along the way!"
"My subordinates and others have carefully searched the area around thirty miles along the road. There is no sign of the Lord Gervais, and there is no trace of any battle!"
The subordinate immediately answered in detail.
"Then you go down first!"
After Edward heard this, he silently dismissed the subordinate who came to report.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke! I resign!"
After the gryphon knight left, the temporary meeting hall suddenly fell into silence.
At this time, in addition to Edward, there were four or five city lords sitting in the meeting tent on both sides. They were all the city lords closest to Gervais in their alliance.
"Duke Johnson, are you sure which route Gervais took that day?"
Edward was silent for a moment, then looked at Johnson and Bruno, and then asked.
"Yes, we parted ways with Lord Gervais at the predetermined intersection. We also made an agreement with Lord Gervais that our support will arrive in a week at most! Let him not be impatient!"
"Moreover, the progress of our siege was quite smooth. Four days later, we sent out manpower to support Lord Gervais. When we arrived at the shore, although the bridge had been destroyed, we still sent dozens of
The aerial monsters went to the other side, but found no trace of Lord Gervais!"
Johnson heard Edward's words and was very sure that there was nothing wrong with Gervais' route.
Before they parted ways, Gervais also told him the estimated travel time. Although Gervais was traveling alone on that road, the route was straight, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
However, when their reinforcements arrived as promised, no trace of Gervais and his party was found.
It was an accident, but they also sent out a few aerial monsters including themselves to search, and found no traces of battle anywhere.
Even if a battlefield of more than 500 people is cleaned up, there will still be traces of blood or traces of bodies being buried or burned.
After an initial search for a day, no trace of Gervais was found, so they immediately reported the situation to Edward, who personally came with the Griffin Knights.
"Then where else could he go? It's impossible for more than five hundred people to disappear quietly!"
After hearing this, Edward also felt a little troubled. Although Gervais' overall strength was not strong, his personal strength was not weak. There was really no reason for him to disappear like this.
Gervais is the most potential among their allies, and has a good relationship with Sky City. Now he suddenly disappeared and could not be found. This was a big change for them.
"Duke Edward, will Lord Gervais move forward?"
At this moment? Bruno, who had been silent until now, looked at the map and said.
"Going forward?"
Edward frowned and looked at the map. He thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe it's possible."
After much deliberation, this is the only possible explanation, although it doesn't make sense? After all, the front has not been explored? The target chosen by Gervais is also the small town on the other side. What reason does he have to go deep alone?
But now I have searched all along the way? No trace of Gervais has been found, so this is the only explanation!
"Your Majesty Duke? Urgent report!"
And at this moment? Suddenly, a soldier's report sounded outside the tent.
"Come in!"
Edward spoke immediately.
"Your Excellency, the news I just received is that the descendants of the servants of Osqui War God have gathered 50,000 people to counterattack, and they also have hundreds of flying monsters!"
When the soldiers outside the tent heard the permission, they hurried into the tent and immediately knelt on the ground to report to Edward.
"The assembly was completed so quickly!"
When Edward heard the soldier's report, he frowned slightly.
The other Holy City Lords were also shocked at this time. This land of God's Fall is different from the outside. It can be said that the natives have the right time and place, and they don't have to worry about the consumption of fighting spirit? Directly gathering an army of 50,000 people is a powerful force.
If they don't hold on this time, the next situation will be troublesome.
"This is the only thing that can happen with Gervais for the time being! Now all of you lead your troops and assemble towards Shengco City!"
At that moment, Edward no longer hesitated and gave instructions to the city lords.
The Osqui War God is the main god believed by Edward and his descendants of the servants of God in this area.
In this land where the gods fell, a big city represents the power of the descendants of different servants of gods.
A few days ago, Edward and others came with a fierce attack. They directly defeated Osqui's servants of God and retreated steadily. Their big city, Osqui, was captured by Edward in a few days.
But the chief priest of this city led away a large number of servants of the gods? Originally, Edward was planning to immediately assemble a team to continue the pursuit.
Unexpectedly, he got the news of Gervais's disappearance at this moment? He then rushed over with the Griffin team to check the situation.
Now that Osqui's divine servants have gathered a lot of soldiers and horses? They are preparing to counterattack, and they will definitely rush back.
And Shengke City is the city they currently occupy at the forefront. When the time comes, more than a dozen holy cities will merge together and advance together according to the originally discussed plan to eliminate or drive away the indigenous people in this area.
"Yes, Duke Edward!"
When the other Holy City City Lords heard this, they all had no objections and responded immediately.
"Okay, let's all disperse then!"
Edward nodded to all the city lords.
Afterwards, all the city lords got up and walked towards the outside of the tent, but Johnson and Bruno hesitated for a moment.
"I will leave a few gryphon knights to check ahead, you don't have to worry!"
Edward would naturally not ignore Gervais, but the war was now tense and affected the overall situation, so he could only leave a few people to continue searching to see if Gervais could be found.
Hearing this, Johnson and Johnson didn't say anything more. They nodded to Edward and quickly left the tent to gather troops.
…
After a night of silence, Gervais climbed out of bed happily the next morning.
"Hey! My waist doesn't hurt and my legs don't hurt!"
As soon as Gervais stood up, he immediately noticed something strange about his body.
In the past, after using the strength-enhancing fruit, I would fall into a three-day period of weakness. Although it was not as serious as the previous times, the side effects were definitely still there.
But today when he got up, he didn't feel any side effects of pain. Instead, he felt that his whole body was in surprisingly good condition.
"Is it because of the fountain of life?"
