章 952: Rebel ambush

The blackguards pursued the rebels across the war-torn city. Erik raced alongside Shatterfist and the others.

The streets of New Alexandria were littered with shattered buildings and rubble, providing the rebels with various hiding and assault points.

As the blackguards advanced deeper into the city, minor fights erupted here and there. These were mostly carried out by the rebels covering for the retreat.

The pursuit wound through minor roads and abandoned buildings. Erik pondered hard about what the rebels might do next exactly, but it was no wonder that Van Dyke planned an ambush.

It was no more than a hunch, of course. Van Dyke had a plan to achieve at least a minor victory. This entire operation was a distraction, albeit a huge one, but this didn't mean Van Dyke was going to let his men and women die like that.

Besides, the rebels appeared to be too calm and well-organized to be fleeing away.
