The next day, the whole army successfully crossed the bridge over the main stream of the Vaal River, which was a key area that had been cleaned by the Howard knights for several days, and the Ingers did not fail to rely on the natural terrain to stop their advance, but the lack of troops caused by the defeat of the previous battle was now apparent.

The knights who were transferred halfway from the back of Roland were still on the way, so the new commander of Ingier had to retreat and give way to the bridge after several cautious encounters with Roland's knights, and finally seemed to have placed the location of the next decisive battle between the two armies in Reims, the holy land where Roland's kings were crowned, according to Delia's wishes.

Howard and his knights completed their mission and led the way in front of the large army, while Eddard's men stayed behind just in case.

When he finally crossed the bridge, Ed saw at a glance that it was his acquaintance Max who was in charge of leading the troops to defend the main road, and André was explaining something to him as the archdeacon of the army.

Giving an order to the vice-captain behind him, Ed rode up to the two of them.

"Okay, that's how the plan is arranged, the logistics team will arrive on time, you and your people must ensure that this batch of supplies is intact!" Andre said again, then ended the conversation, and greeted Ed who was approaching.

Ed let him go after a few pleasantries, this companion has been very busy lately, but looking at his radiant appearance, it seems that he has been blessed with vitality magic by Delia.

"Big brother, why are you here?" saw Andre away, and Max said to Ed in surprise.

"Haha! Looks like you're getting reused. Can I not congratulate him!" Ed hugged him and patted him on the shoulder.

Max had a sad expression on his face at this time. "Isn't it a punishment to no longer be the personal guard of the Holy Maiden?"

"How so? Whoever is trusted by Deria will be arranged by her to be the leader of an army. Max, this is a workout for you, but don't be cranky, you can contribute much more in this position than before!" Hearing him say this, Ed immediately straightened up and unceremoniously lectured.

Taken aback, Max hurriedly raised his hand and swore that he would do a good job, indeed, he had been ordered to transfer him out of the Delia personal guard and come out as the commander of a troop. Max was pessimistic at one point that this was a reprimand for his previous poor protection, and that it was to deprive him of the glory of being the commander and personal guard.

At this time, listening to Ed's explanation, Max felt a lot better, although deep down he still had some reluctance to his original position, and it was also depressing to not be able to see the saint in his heart for a long time, but after all, he was still a positive young man, and it didn't take long for him to get up under Ed's education, and he also had the appearance of a commander when he issued orders to his subordinates.

After pointing out some of the other party's own experiences and encouraging a few more words, Ed led the team to leave slowly. In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart about this matter itself.

He had seen Max's growth with his own eyes, and he had no doubts about this young man's loyalty to Delia, and now there was a new group of guards by Delia's side, which made Ed always a little uncomfortable.

Really. During the routine meeting with Delia in the afternoon, many of the guards around her were new faces, and when Ed finished discussing the matter, he bluntly talked to Delia about it.

"Max, it's time to get out and exercise. Staying by my side every day isn't good for their upbringing, and Eddard knows what?he's now part of the Viresses, like many of the other guards!" Delia glanced at the new guards who were far away from the guard. Fiddling with the marks on the military map in front of him with one hand, he said casually.

Ed tilted his head and thought about it. "I think he's always been a member of the Saintess Army, and all of your guards are from the early ones!"

"It's different, now he's been absorbed into the upper echelons, you know, helping under Andrei!"

"Oh!" the young man thought about it, Di Liya has always disliked this group that idolizes herself, although there is no explicit ban on its spread in the army, but it is always far away from desireless.

And it is this attitude that seems to the outside world to be detached has further enhanced her status in the Holy Women's Army, just like the ancients said, people don't need a god who lives by their side and is within reach, there will be no worship without distance!

Under the guidance of people with hearts, Di Liya's image in the Holy Women's Army is extremely tall, she is selfless, cares for everyone and has no selfishness, just works hard for everyone's happiness.

As far as Ed knows, André is a very important driving force in this, he himself does not hold an actual position in the Virya, but he has great power, and is seen as the spokesperson of Deria.

The disagreement between his two companions on this issue has been a long time, and Max now seems to be on Andrei's side, no wonder Delia is a little unhappy in her heart, but after all, the other party has been following her for a long time, and she has always been sincerely willing to die for herself, so the girl simply let him go on the grounds of promotion, even if it is beneficial to his future and saves his own upset, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking about the reason for this, Ed smiled bitterly, maybe the leader of the army at this time is Di Lia and himself who can fight, but to make such a huge war machine run, Andre's role cannot be ignored, not to mention that the Holy Maiden Army he promoted can bring many benefits to Di Lia in a practical sense, so although Ed is closer to Di Lia, he maintains a supportive attitude towards the existence of the Holy Maiden Army.

Thinking so, Ed ended the topic of Max and turned to Delia, the source of the power of the star spirit in front of him, about this power.

"Ed, with your current level, you can almost support the supply of star spirit power for about ten people, with yourself as the core, if you achieve the same mind of everyone through other means, maybe this number can still increase, but the side effects brought by the event will also become stronger, so I still hope that you don't come hard, it should be enough to have me." ”

"But when you're fighting outside, there will always be times when you have to separate, at least I'll have to be prepared just in case. Ed insisted.

"Crystal can help you, eh...... Alright!" Seeing Eddard's insistence, Delia had to begin to explain to him the deeper mysteries of the power of the astral spirit. (To be continued......)
