Chapter 141: Return to the Front 5
On the first day of the Burning October, Ed and Deria set off again for the Ovareh war zone.
Although it is named after the flame, Roland's October did not leave the last tail of the summer heat, and the autumn wind brought a sense of gloom, Ed waved his hand and grabbed a yellow leaf falling in the wind, put it to his ear and gently crushed it, and the dead leaves after losing all their moisture made a clattering and crushing sound, which sounded different.
The autumn leaves that fell on the road were not so lucky, and countless soldiers completely crushed them into the dirt with their feet wrapped in thick combat boots, and the sound of uniform footsteps on the march drowned out the last traces of crumbling.
Followed by Eddard were the tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers, thanks to the capture of the Ingill knights that Di Liya brought back before, the crown prince made a rough inventory through his chancellor of the exchequer, and found that he would receive an extremely high ransom, and he did not hesitate at all about Di Liya's request to increase his troops, anyway, the general equipment to arm these ordinary soldiers is not worth much, and it cannot be compared with the extremely scarce star crystal weapons on the market now.
It is precisely because of the spread of the news of Di Liya's victory that the number of ordinary people who are willing to join the army is much more than previously estimated, they have suffered from the war, and many people have left their fallen hometowns to wander for a long time, and this time they are willing to join because they feel that there is hope to fight back with this commander, otherwise the war with the participation of knights, only those ordinary people who are hungry and dying are willing to take risks.
On the other hand, Eleanor Jr. was ordered to stay in the rear to be in charge of the support work, and Ed and Delia were still not very relieved about the crown prince who was not firm enough, and it would be good to have someone to notify him in time if the situation changed.
As for Eleanor Jr.'s family, it seems that they are more supportive of his actions. But the condition is that he must win, and the little fat man completely bets his future in the family on the success of Delia. If he fails, he will probably be affected, so before Ed leaves. The other party also asked him to drink wine in the middle of the night, until the young man promised the other party that if Delia failed, he would be willing to join Little Elinor's family to help him, and the little fat man was relieved and passed out.
With the support of the Roland Grand Duke's family, it can be said that the logistics are no longer a problem in a short period of time, whether it is personnel or equipment, they will be continuously transported to the front line, and even the cold problem that bothers them the most, there are also a large number of high-quality winter clothes are being prepared and produced. It can minimize the loss of strength of ordinary soldiers.
As for Ed himself, the crown prince rewarded him with a half-length armor mixed with star crystals, which made many people envious, but in the eyes of the young man, it was just ordinary, without any special attributes, but it was just a good fit and would be used.
"Don't be dissatisfied, our Roland doesn't produce star crystals, and Ingier over there has just handed over a large number of star crystal mines to the War Association recently, resulting in a shortage of star crystal weapons in several surrounding countries recently. The price on the black market is even more than ten times, you can have this body and steal the fun, be careful of attracting thieves at night!"
Little Elinor was naturally joking when he said this, he had the support of a large family behind him. There is no shortage of equipment.
In addition, the wooden pocket bow Eddard won from the Burgundian also looked at it, and it was indeed a rare level of equipment. But he was not used to bows and arrows, and still felt that throwing a long-handled javelin like the Rose Spear was suitable for him on the battlefield. So it's also sealed, and I'll talk about it when I meet the little girl Qili who has been away for a long time in the future.
Psionic cultivation. The last distance to break through to the silver level is more difficult than before, after asking Eleanor Jr., Ed found that others have no useful experience, purely relying on water grinding skills, as for how to break through the bottleneck, there are different methods.
Hearing that Ed was progressing so quickly, the little fat man repented and assured the old guardian knight around him that he would seize the time to cultivate and not be left behind too much by Ed, but looking at his usual appearance, Ed estimated that this strength could last for three days, and the old knight would be happy enough.
"Huh, Ed, this is a spiritual cultivation method that I recently scavenged for you, and it is still a bit of a way to break through to the silver level, but let me tell you, this is still far from my family's daily eight methods, why don't you think about it again?"
Ed didn't say anything polite to little Elino, anyway, he didn't admit the other party's love this time, so he simply snatched it over, looked through it on the spot, and recorded it in the engraving.
"Didn't you, you remembered, I spent a lot of time getting it!" Picking up the volume he had just handed over, little Elinor's stunned look Ed couldn't forget, and it was still fun to think about it.
It is said that the spiritual energy produced by the cultivation of the bronze level is almost the same for everyone, and there is no essential difference, but the silver level and above begin to bear a strong personal imprint, and the truly extraordinary spiritual abilities all start to take off from this step, and it will be extremely difficult to change their appearance in the future.
The little Eleanor provided the same as what Charlotte gave at the beginning, because of the regulations, it was not their own family's superior cultivation method, it was a relatively wild way, Ed was still hesitating at this time, although he decided not to focus on psionic energy, but whether it was like this will still need to be considered.
In the eyes of others, if someone is willing to provide a top-grade cultivation method, it is simply a brain in water, and little Eleanor doesn't quite understand why he threw such a heavy bait but still couldn't attract Ed, and he can only blame the young man himself for being too unique.
There is nothing to say about the power of the star spirit, unlike the spirit energy has a fixed level of cultivation and techniques, Ed and Di Liya can only rely on their own groping to move forward, but the young man recently found that it seems that staying with Di Liya, who also has this power, has a great effect on promoting the improvement of the power of the star spirit, but I don't know if the other party is the same.
Delia has been busy with too many things lately, and although Ed is trying his best to assist, he is still very haggard every day, and he must rely on blessing magic to rejuvenate him, and Ed feels distressed to see it.
When Andrei was busy with these military affairs alone, he seemed to get up early and greedy for darkness like this, day and night, until later, he seemed to be on the right track, and his face looked a lot better.
Ed couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to work harder to share the burden for Deliya, this time more than several times the number of people before, the military operation infiltrated a lot of his efforts, and unconsciously, Ed's own organizational planning ability has also increased greatly in the actual training, and now let him formulate actions of the order of hundreds of people, it will be a piece of cake.
When approaching the front of the battle line, Delia couldn't wait to take the first step, and left with the team that came to meet her, leaving Ed alone to lead the knights in charge of the team, she was also very relieved.
After an extra half a day, Ed was once again on the front lines, and this time there was no one to stop them from driving out the Ingirs. (To be continued......)
