Chapter 257: Quest 2

"Damn, damn it!" Andre came out of the dungeon and cursed uncontrollably, the secret of not being able to get power from Delia, what he could get by doing all this was very limited, how much was left of the rewards of Emperor Ingier and the Church after layers of exploitation and falling into his hands?

When he found out that the situation was not good, he came up with the idea of starting anew, regardless of whether Delia would be exterminated by all parties and become a victim of Charles, he would withdraw. At the end of the day, Andrei's goal is to gain power for himself, and this army in Deria's hands is unlikely to give him what he wants.

So he followed the advice of the dreaddemon that he had absorbed by chance, and had a showdown with Delia. The seizure of power did not go well, the girl insisted on refusing to cooperate, and the people of the church were not very supportive of his acquisition of the army, so he had no choice but to cooperate with the other party to rob Delia and send her to Burgundy nearby.

This is the consequence of the absence of power, he does not dare to insist on his ideas against the will of others.

And these are very much in line with the interests of the terror demon in his body, although staying in the army has the opportunity to obtain fresh flesh and blood to restore the courtyard and the source, but he has to suppress himself all the time, in case he is discovered by Ed and others, this time it is a real opportunity for him to finally let Andre be ruthless and independent.

"You listen to me, that kind of bright power is not compatible with your heart, or continue to move forward on the route I have planned for you, I promise that it won't be long before you can become a strong party, and you can do whatever you want!"

Andre was silent for a moment, letting the demagogic words ring in his heart, he didn't regret accepting the dying Dread into his body, and it seemed that this was indeed the only way to help him gain power.

How many times he was extremely jealous of Eddard's achievements. He has also been deceiving himself that following Delia will one day be able to gain the secret of power. But reality let him down.

"If I really can't get it, I can't let others get Deria's power!" Andre thought in a blink of an eye. Said viciously.

The Dreaddemon appreciated his host's ruthlessness, but he had to interrupt Andre's plan, "There's no need for that, I know what the church thinks, you gods absolutely don't want to see this forbidden power appear in the world again, that's a challenge to them, and that woman's fate is only a dead end." ”

"What else do you know?" Andre was very optimistic about the power of the star spirit in Deria's possession, he believed that it could truly change the pattern of the world, and it seemed familiar to the meaning of the Dread. It hadn't said that before.

"There's no time, no matter how strong that power is, it doesn't belong to you, only the chosen one can master it, let's go now, I sense a terrible person approaching, and he will not let you go when he finds out about my existence!"

Hearing this, Andrei's face changed, "Your enemy, didn't you say that you have been sealed for thousands of years, and your opponents are all dead?"

"Hmph! Some powerful magician who doesn't appreciate our wickedness. You don't have to worry about that woman confessing to you, heretics are often more unforgivable than evil ones in the eyes of your gods, ha!"

The other party is reluctant to elaborate. Andrei can't help it, since now that he has staked his future on this evil thing, he has no choice but to be obedient. After all, I am indeed stronger now than before.

Andre put up his hands in front of him, and the finger claws that had just been melted away had already been retracted. It doesn't seem too unusual, but each one can be a weapon to kill people if necessary. At the same time, his limbs are also much stronger than before, although the method of bathing in human blood enhancement is a little evil, but the effect is remarkable!

With his secretly developed manpower, Andre abandoned his past in the dark dungeon with the girl he was subjected to, and began a new journey of power!

On the other side, at the same time, Ed led the army to encounter the remnants of the coalition army, and after the battle with the Ingier Knight troops, their losses were not too great, although they died a lot more than when Delia was there before, but the morale of the army was still high.

Without the knight troops, the remaining Burgundian army of tens of thousands of ordinary warriors was basically not a resistance in front of Eddard, and with the power of the remaining star spirits in the icon, he commanded the troops to easily defeat the opponent.

After using his elite cavalry brigade to outflank and block the enemy's escape route, Ed personally showed his strength in front of the battle, completely deterring the enemy, and the Burgundian warriors in their early teens willingly became his prisoners, and even the official confrontation between the two armies did not happen, but the forward made a slight contact.

"Anyway, we lost to the knight, and we won't be ashamed. The Burgundians thought so, not to mention that they were still nominally a vassal of Roland, and the two sides did not have a deep grudge, and there was no resistance to surrender.

"Ha, these bastards! No wonder they are our affiliated territory, they don't even deserve to lift our shoes based on their performance on the battlefield!"

After touring the prisoner camp, the lieutenant generals made no secret of their disdain for the Burgundians in front of Eddard, and devalued them in their words.

Ed tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that it was true that even without the protection of the power of the star spirit, the victorious army under his command could overthrow the enemy with the quality of the army alone, but then the losses would be greater, and the excessive casualty ratio would make the next battle more resistant.

"Do a good job of guarding, and you will be able to reach the castle of the Grand Duke of Burgundy not far away, I may be useful for taking these prisoners, don't let them go!"

"Yes, but our supply ......," the officer in charge of logistics was slightly embarrassed.

Ed has never let go of the big and small things in the army, and naturally knows that the current situation is a little stretched, "Give the captives the minimum food ration, and at the same time let the cavalry sweep along the way, collect food and grass materials, Burgundy has no strength to stop us, and the remaining knights will definitely protect their Grand Duke, but be careful not to patronize the plunder, I will not spare the time to delay the meeting with the large army!"

All the officers present were happy when they heard this, and hurriedly spoke in agreement, when Commander Di Liya was there, although the supplies were sufficient, he resolutely forbade his subordinates to harass the civilians, not to mention that they were fighting on their own land, and the soldiers were not easy to start.

Now that it has hit the territory of the Burgundian lord, the Roland people do not treat each other as their own, and they can rob with the authorization of General Ed, and they are naturally smiling, and the oil and water in this are much more than eating military pay every day.
