Chapter 149: The Noble Squad Seems to Have Disappeared!

Lam's collapse caused the remaining hundred-plus tribal warriors to immediately break, and the Storm Army pursued them in triumph.

When the last savage fell, cheers followed immediately.

"Victory! We have won!"

"Haha, my lord Gervas is mighty; we have taken Aokin Fort!"

"Immediately clear the battlefield, rescue the wounded; we have little time left!!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Gervas knew that the savages in the rear were very likely already on their way.

So, there was not much time for them to waste.

And the reality was just so; at this moment, the main camp of the left-wing army had already become a sea of fire.

Most savages had already finished hunting down the noble army.

Only a small number of noble squads remained as fish that slipped through the net, still being pursued.

"Commander Tila Ka, the interrogation is complete!"

"Very good; which noble killed two hundred Black Tiger warriors? Tell me, is he dead or alive?" Commander Tila Ka asked.

"Commander Tila Ka, it was a noble named Gervas Gale; fortunately, that damn noble is not yet dead!"

"Oh? Then why didn't you bring him here?" Commander Tila Ka's face also showed a happy smile.

A living noble meant they could use the method of sacrificing a banner to take revenge.

That would grant the dead Black Tiger warriors enough glory.

"Commander Tila Ka, although that Gervas is alive, he was not captured by us, because he was one of the few noble squads that left early!"

"According to the confession of the noble captives, that Gervas went to Aokin Wood Fort!"

"Is that so?" Commander Tila Ka frowned slightly, but did not care too much, "Then give the order: immediately dispatch eight hundred Black Tiger warriors and one thousand ordinary tribal warriors to pursue."

"Eight hundred Black Tiger warriors and one thousand ordinary tribal warriors? Commander Tila Ka, that is too many; I heard that was only a small noble squad of four hundred people!"

"That small noble could kill two hundred Black Tiger warriors; we must take it seriously, and moreover, we must capture this noble!"

"Yes, Commander Tila Ka!"

After a pause, the subordinate added: "Commander Tila Ka, how should we handle these surrendered nobles in this camp?"

Hearing this, coldness appeared in Commander Tila Ka's eyes.

"Shameless and cowardly nobles; kill them all!"

"My lord, this time we killed five hundred enemies in total; there are no survivors!"

"Casualties: eleven from the pirate squad, eight from the slave squad; the Storm Guard squad had no deaths, only two seriously wounded!"

"Very good; give the order: rest for one hour, then immediately set out towards the southwest direction after one hour!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Inside Aokin Wood Fort, the battlefield had already been cleared, and the spoils and battle losses had already been counted.

It is worth mentioning that this surprise attack was very successful; the enemy was caught completely off guard.

Thus, five hundred tribal warriors were killed, but the Storm Army's battle losses were less than half of the last time.

Of course, besides the reason of being a surprise attack, there were two other very important reasons.

The first was that Gervas's slave soldiers and pirates, through the previous fighting, had already adapted to the battlefield and no longer felt fear.

Without fear, their performance naturally became better.

The second was that the combat power of these ordinary tribal warriors simply could not compare to that of the Black Tiger tribe warriors.

Gervas could feel this very clearly during the battle process.

Just now, when these three hundred tribal savages faced them on the wasteland, after perceiving the strength of the Storm Army, they obviously became panicked immediately.

Last time, that Black Tiger squad, even under a surprise attack, could still fight with ease.

The two sides simply could not be compared.

Quickly, one hour passed.

Gervas dared not delay any longer and directly ordered his subordinates to set out.

He must hide well before the main tribal force catches up; otherwise, even if his subordinates are elite, once they get entangled, it would be certain death.

For the next three or four hours, Gervas's squad kept moving; even as the sky began to gradually brighten, they dared not stop for even a moment.

And this overnight charge, plus fighting a hard battle, made the subordinates look exhausted one by one.

At this time, bad news came again.

Splash! Splash!

"Report, my lord: a western savage squad was discovered fifteen li behind; the squad number is around eighteen hundred!"

"So fast?"

Gervas did not expect that, even though both were on foot, the savages' speed was actually that fast.

Of course, this was very likely because the tribal savages had discovered again that they had solved the five hundred people at Aokin Wood Fort.

So, this made the tribal savages hate him even more.

"My lord, should we rest immediately and prepare for battle?" Lei Meng, hearing this, felt they could no longer escape.

According to estimates, the walking speed of these western savages had already reached twice theirs.

So, in just another one or two hours, they might be caught up.

In that case, it would be better to take a rest during this time to enhance combat power!

"No; let the squad accelerate forward; Moon Chaser has already scouted, and there is a hidden place seven or eight li ahead where we can hide!"

"Is there a place to hide?"

Hearing Gervas's words, the subordinate dared not delay, immediately gritting his teeth and speeding up his advance.

And when the maple forest from the intelligence appeared, Gervas immediately ordered his subordinates to turn into the dense forest.

"My lord, there really is a cave behind the waterfall, and the cave connects to a huge valley; even if several thousand people were stationed there, it would not feel crowded!"

Before the waterfall, Lei Meng, who was responsible for scouting, and his knight squire returned, bringing good news.

"Haha, this is truly too good! Chasing Moon, you are truly too great! We are saved!"

Upon hearing this, Knight Mi Gen and the others immediately beamed with joy.

After all, if found by the tribal savages, a battle would very likely mean mutual destruction.

But if they could hide, there would still be a chance to live!

Immediately, everyone began to send looks of worship toward Chasing Moon!

Hmph hmph!

Although Chasing Moon was not clear what these guys were saying so happily while looking at him.

He still raised his proud head, "Two-legged beasts, are you happy because you can behold the divine countenance of this Unicorn?"

"Do not be infatuated with this Divine Beast; this Divine Beast is only temporarily following Gervas. In the future, this Divine Beast will be a legend!"

At noon, the Oak Wood Fortress!

Commander Tila Ka walked into the wood fortress with a gloomy expression.

Originally, he certainly would not have come to this Oak Wood Fortress.

But when the morning brought a report from a fast horse, Commander Tila Ka rushed here without stopping.

Looking at the bodies of tribal warriors inside and outside the wood fortress, Commander Tila Ka was heartbroken, his fists clenched until they creaked.

"Report!"

A messenger hurriedly came from the southwest direction.

"Have you found them?" Before the messenger could speak, Commander Tila Ka asked first.

The messenger was startled, but still forced himself to say, "Com... Commander, my lord, still... still haven't found them..."

"What?" Commander Tila Ka's face turned iron green.

Calculating the speed, the pursuit squad should have been able to reach Baron Volk's territory.

And there, a thousand tribal warriors were stationed; that human race squad could not possibly have run past it.

The messenger was startled, fell to his knees with a thud, and hurriedly reported, "Commander, my lord, Deputy Commander Dowa has already led eighteen hundred tribal warriors to pursue to Baron Volk's territory."

"But according to the report from the tribal warriors in Baron Volk's territory, they did not see the appearance of any noble army!"

"So... so, that noble squad seems... seems to have disappeared..."
