Chapter Seventy-Two: The Pursuit 1
"It's a pity!" Looking at the appearance of the other party crashing into the stone wall in the distance, spitting blood but barely supporting his body, Ed sighed in his heart, he didn't control his strength, the enemy was beaten too far, leaving the distance suitable for attack in the guerrilla route, it was impossible to change the trajectory of all the people for this one enemy, and it would be difficult to run to the wall and then try to turn.
Unable to figure out why he suddenly regained some of his strength after a long battle, Ed suppressed the problem first, handed Gelmer to one hand, and raised the free hand high into the sky, using the method of using spiritual energy to turn the power of the star spirit into a spiritual flame and rise into the sky, becoming a huge torch that shines in all directions.
"Rush!"
"Follow Lord Ed!"
The cavalry behind him felt the burst of energy in front of them, and as soon as they looked up, they could see that this was the striking sign released by their leader, echoing the banner of Grand Commander Di Lia in the center of the battlefield, which was announcing their existence to everyone.
"I'm Ed here, my comrades behind me believe that I will stand, and the enemies will attack me boldly, come and taste my strength!"
After releasing the Heavenly Spirit Flame Marker, he heard the cheers of the Roland cavalry around him, and even the power of the Star Spirit seemed to have become stronger.
There was also a slight smile on Ed's tense face, which was another important role for generals in the era of cold weapon warfare in addition to commanding, showing their strong existence, boosting the morale of their own army, and making the enemy fearful.
On the edge of the stone wall, a staggering figure struggled to its feet, having just received a blow from Eddard that had nearly extinguished the psionic aura of his protector.
Looking back, the feared thing did not happen, and the overly young knight Roland did not chase after him, but led the men and horses in another direction with arrogance.
"I'll remember today's shame, damn it, one day, Mars will let you taste defeat and avenge your predecessors!"
He slammed his hateful fist into the cracked stone wall, and without the protection of psionic energy, his bleeding fist only carried a few broken stone chips.
After venting, Mars rested in this remote place for a while, gathered the last of his spiritual energy, and escaped over the city walls.
Behind him, other Ingill knights escaped with good fortune and left the killing ground in the city of Auare.
"Lord Ed, wait a minute, I have a message from Commander Delia!"
After a few rounds of encirclement, the leader of the team led by Ed was stopped by a herald, and the young man slowed down his horse, but did not stop, his eyes staring at each other, but his perception diverged, always paying attention to the possible traces of the enemy in front of him and behind him.
The herald was also clever, and dared to come up with his horse, and went hand in hand with Eddard to tell Delia's orders.
"Let me go with Andrei to intercept the deserters outside the city gates, when was this order given, and did Andrei set off?"
"After the psionic defense array in the city was secured, Commander Di Liya arranged it like this, but Your Excellency, you fought bravely and with amazing speed, I chased after it several times and didn't catch up, so I had to wait on your route, Lord Andre should have set off for some time. ”
The more the herald spoke, the quieter it became, not at all like he had been specially selected from a loud voice.
After hearing this, Ed's face changed, Andre led the team to intercept alone, I am afraid that the strength is not enough, if the enemy regroupes, once he kills back the carbine, his old friend may have to be planted.
Ed looked at the late herald in front of him, but he couldn't blame him, it was extremely difficult to convey the news in time on the battlefield in this era, and it would be good if the other party could risk his death to arrive and come up with a way to wait for the rabbit to deliver the message without waiting for him to stop.
"Go back and tell the commander-in-chief, and I will go out of the city at once, and continue to pursue the fleeing part of the enemy army. ”
Wave your hand to signal that you have received the message, and the other party can leave.
Without waiting for the fortunate herald to walk away, Ed turned around and led the team towards the city gate, "Andre, don't be careless!"
At this time, the galloping around is basically all the warriors of the Roland Kingdom, and it is rare to see the fleeing Ingier knights, Ed is relieved and bold to hand over the city to Delia, believing that the girl can clear the last bit of enemy and do the last rescue work.
All the way to the gate of Ovare, most of the residents of the city were still closed at this time, not daring to participate in this turmoil, most of the soldiers and knights who were fighting outside had seen the active posture of this team on the battlefield, and immediately let it go, and did not dare to touch the head slightly.
Ed went out of the city, looking into the distance, and could vaguely see the shadow of Andre leading some men and horses in pursuit through the daylight, and there were many escaped and undead Ingier knights scattered in the fields outside the city.
Some people even ran in a hurry, not even horses, so they had to choose to bypass and return directly to the direction of the camp, reduce the target and move forward alone, praying that the Roland people would not chase after them.
Seeing that the enemy did not seem to be able to organize effectively, Ed breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily stopped his horse and stood by the door, waving his hands to signal his cavalry to rest for a while.
These hundreds of cavalry gained a lot of heads with Ed in the big battle, and the morale was high and the consumption was not small, maintaining the previous formation, and the three of them came out in a row, and went out of the door under the command of the commander, slowed down and rested slightly.
"Brothers who are fighting side by side, I said that we will leave behind every enemy of Ingir who dares to invade us, and in a moment we will set out to pursue the defeated army that survived, now hurry up, rest first, replenish food and water, we still have a pursuit to fight, I promise, we will return here before dark at the latest, when Commander Diria, the holy woman of your heart will lead the people of the city to meet their heroes!"
Ed rode his horse, patrolling his team back and forth, speaking loudly, indicating his next move and boosting the morale of his team.
"Yes!"
"We listen to you!"
"Go catch those ingill fur seals!"
The warriors replied in a mixed manner, and after their spirits relaxed, they revealed their lax discipline, and they couldn't see that they could still put up exquisite formations before, killing and injuring a large number of the main forces of war on this continent, the psionic knights.
"Maybe I was wrong, I blindly pursued backward psionic powers before, and ignored the skills of these ordinary people, with the power of Di Liya's star spirit, these original farmers and craftsmen can kill the originally high-ranking psionic people as long as they are trained a little, under the command of a qualified general.
