Why did everyone trust Edward so much?

Probably because he is a powerful person who can make friends with the demons, the demons are willing to be friends with him, and humans will naturally be attracted by his charm, and then trust his judgment unconditionally.

Emilia is a prime example of this. Even a proud person as brave as the brave trusted him so much, and Arthas had no capital to be proud of, and had no choice but to believe in him.

Thinking of this, Lance suddenly had a question.

Why, exactly, did the demons want to be good friends with Edward? Is it because he has a pair of unusual, ugly panda eyes?

Lance speculated maliciously.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Ahh ”

"Retreating now is tantamount to cutting off one's own hands and feet. Besides, even if you want to retreat now, it's not so easy. Edward looked at him with a straight face, completely unaware that Lance was staring at his dark circles.

"Long pain is better than short pain! Lost and returned, the prodigal son turned back, and there was still a glimmer of life!" the adjutant couldn't help but interrupt Edward's words, "No matter how dangerous it is, it is better than continuing to die!"

"Well, Edward, you're right. Lance waved his hand, "Adjutant, be quiet, let him continue." ”

"Yes, Marshal......" glared at Edward unwillingly, and the adjutant shut his mouth again.

"But continuing to attack is no different from committing suicide. As long as the demons continue to fight and run like they are now, even if we break through the Endless Forest, it will be pointless to reach the extreme south, and sooner or later we will destroy ourselves due to lack of supplies. ”

"Hey, that's why I'm in a hurry. ”

What Edward said was what Lance had in mind, word for word.

He originally thought that the Chinese army could become a crucial blade in this southern expedition, but he didn't expect that now it has become a piece of chicken ribs that are abandoned and tasteless, and it is not a matter of advancing or retreating.

Far away in Central City, Rem saw Lance's predicament, and he knew it himself. Their plan was to lure the snake out of the hole through a big victory and force the Gate of Original Sin to show up, but until now the Gate of Original Sin has not done anything, precisely because Lance has not done the same level of fear as the Gate of Original Sin fears.

Even if he is allowed to continue messing around, it is impossible for the exorcist army to win, and it is more likely to kill himself.

Therefore, the gate of original sin is not in a hurry at all.

"Hey......" Lance sighed deeply, instantly turning ten years old.

Now he seems to be able to understand Rem's mood back then.

The trust that others had in Edward was not unreasonable, and Lance himself had to admit that Edward's understanding of the battle situation was far better than his own. Without any superfluous information, and just by relying on what he saw and heard on the road, Edward was able to detect the key that many high-ranking officers could not perceive.

This outstanding view of the overall situation, Lance sighed to himself.

It's really uncomfortable to be surpassed by younger generations...... Perhaps, he is the so-called genius.

Lance was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Cut ......"

Looking at Edward's high-spirited smug face with disdain, he snorted coldly at night.

The big picture, talent, bullshit!

Why was Edward able to analyze the battle situation so clearly? Because he was the one who single-handedly planned the battle!

He first told Lance, the supreme commander of the exorcist army, that he could collude with the demons, so that Lance could rest assured and boldly advance from the middle, and then, he went to the demon king's agent Angelina, and ordered her to secretly cooperate with Lance's attack, deliberately pretending that he couldn't fight, retreating one after another, and letting Lance's army break in.

Others may not be able to understand the battle situation, but how could Edward, as the director, not be able to understand it? Of course, he knows the script best.

He understands how to start the drama and, of course, how to push it forward.

"Actually, to solve this problem, it's very simple. ”

Edward, who only showed his excellent view of the big picture, didn't find it enjoyable, so he pretended to be deep and said to Lance nonchalantly.

"Simple?"

Shocked Lance now fully understood Flando's trust in Edward.

Listen to him.

That's what Edward gave him.

"I—What should I do?"

Before he knew it, Lance's tone had changed from asking for advice to asking for orders.

"Since the demons let us advance and are unwilling to engage us head-on, then I'll force them to fight a decisive battle!" Edward shrugged his shoulders and said naturally.

"Hey, Marshal Lance has already thought about the method you said!Easy to say, but where is it so simple?" the adjutant interjected dissatisfiedly.

Forcing the opponent to fight a decisive battle, and then reducing the opponent's strength, is the best way at the moment. As long as he can destroy any of the formed armies of the demon race, Lance will have a good reason to return to the dynasty without having to worry about other pros and cons.

But...... Where is it so easy?

The demon soldiers they have encountered recently are all soft cowards who can't be soft, and they are even more greedy for life and afraid of death than the most cowardly human soldiers, and they run away half of them before the fight starts, as for the remaining half...... That half was not prepared to fight them from the beginning, and it had long since run away.

"Actually, it's really simple. Edward's expression did not change because of the adjutant's taunt, but became more indifferent.

"Shut up, Adjutant!" Completely caught in Edward's trap, Lance said to Edward with great earnestness, "Edward, what am I supposed to do?"

"Hehe, it's nothing. Nodding contentedly, Edward looked at the night, and said, "Just choose a special target." ”

"Target?" Lance touched his chin and fell into deep thought, "The target worth attacking should be the Red Blood Tribe, right?" it is said that they are the most powerful tribe among the Demon Clan, if we can take advantage of the weakness and capture the Red Blood Tribe's lair, the Demon Clan will definitely suffer a huge blow." Good way!"

Talking to himself was an old problem for Lance, and he used to mutter to himself whenever Rem gave him advice, as if doing so would give him a better understanding of the other party's intentions, and he did learn a lot from Rem in this way.

However, with Edward, his trick didn't work.

"No, not the Red Blood Tribe. Edward drooped his eyelids, "There are not many people in the Red Blood Tribe now, even if we go all the way to kill the past, we will not get anything except a large pile of branches and firewood, let alone the demon defenders who can affect the east and west." ”

Lately, Edward has been going back to the Red Blood Tribe a lot, and he has long had all the information.

It was an empty camp, and even if Lance killed it, he wouldn't be able to get the slightest benefit.

“......”

Impressed by Edward's wisdom, Lance couldn't find the words to describe his mood at the moment.

Lance thought that as long as he captured the enemy's lair, he would have already won, but he forgot that his thinking pattern was completely human's, and for the demons, his thinking was very wrong!

Edward, on the other hand, was different. Not only can he fully grasp the situation on his own side, firmly control the trend of the battle situation, and then make unique judgments and analysis, but what is even more amazing is that he can also put himself in the enemy's shoes and analyze the situation on the enemy's side, so as to reason out a completely different and correct conclusion from ordinary people.

Terrible talent......

"Night, don't look at me like that anymore, it's okay to make me proud for a while. Edward secretly squeezed Ye's hand and said aggrievedly.

"Master, Night didn't mean to laugh at you. Since you're happy, there's no reason to stop you from the night. The mechanical answer was clearly not the true meaning of the night.

"Hey, Night, I like you the most!"

Edward smiled happily when he got the answer he wanted, but he didn't notice the unkind stare from the other side.

He just said to the night, I like you the most? This is a picky guy! Why should I rely on this kind of person? Pervert, damn it!

"Hey, Amilia, why is your face so bad?" asked Flando, as if sensing something.

"No, nothing ......"

"Hey, don't make any noise!" Lance flapped the map in annoyance, "Edward, you go on, where exactly should we target next?"

"There is only one place. ”

"Yes, where is it?"

"That's it...... Devil, King, Castle!"

Edward said word for word. (To be continued.) )
