Chapter 174: Another Wave Rises 7
When the inexplicable Roland prisoners of war returned to their camp and conveyed Ed's words to the veteran Howard, his face turned blue in an instant, and when the news spread, everyone was in an uproar.
"No, you can't leave him here!"
"Let's rush up, tear up these shameless guys, and welcome the boss back!" Ed's cavalry clamored, only the adjutant who was named by Ed gritted his teeth and said nothing, and several squadron leaders turned their eyes on him.
The same is true on the knight's side, not only the two brothers Tennison and Stanley, who had just learned the inside story from their companions, were so excited that they turned around and wanted to rush back, but the other knights were also very entangled in their hearts, on the one hand, they admired Ed's noble knightly style of standing up and sacrificing themselves at such a critical moment, and on the other hand, they were ashamed to think that so many of them needed to rely on him to rescue with such an action.
Howard grabbed the two brothers who wanted to run out of the formation, and shouted like a bell: "Bastard, what's the use of going now, don't you understand what Ed means? Retreat to preserve your strength, and then do it when you are sure, if we lose to the enemy here, Commander Delia will also be in danger!"
Although he didn't know the real strength comparison between the warriors who were blessed with the power of the star spirit and the knights, he also vaguely guessed Ed's thoughts, with such a number of knights on the other side, our side was not sure that we would be able to win! Once these two teams of cyclists were lost, only the main force of the second-line cavalry and a large number of infantry in Reims Town would completely lose the means of attack, and the enemy would be allowed to tear and expand the wound little by little, and eventually lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Howard dripped the two brothers, but next to him, several of the captured knights who had just been exchanged turned around and rushed out. It's just that they stumble on their feet, and their movements are not good. On the other side, there were also people in Ed's cavalry team who couldn't wait for the deputy commander's reply for a long time. Begin to take matters into your own hands and go to the center of the battlefield to rescue.
The two groups of centaurs had just left the line for dozens of paces, and Ed, who had been paying attention to this side, was angry. Raising his hand, he raised the Rose Spear at his side, infused with psionic energy, and threw it over.
In an instant, the weapon passed through the space of hundreds of steps, and accurately pierced in front of the few knights who were running in front, and the energy attached to it spread along a horizontal line under the master's advance formulation, and the burst of earth raised a barrier three steps in front of everyone.
The horses were frightened and raised their front hooves, and the cavalrymen who rushed forward to rescue were stopped, "Go back, this is my order!" Ed yelled.
See your own lord's resolute attitude. The unwilling warriors hesitated, and a knight of Roland, whose psionic energy had been suppressed and had not yet been lifted, half-knelt down in front of the Rose Spear, hating his own uselessness.
"Come back!" said Howard, taking a few steps forward, putting his hand on the shoulder of the silently weeping knight, and said with a dead face.
Then he drew the spear that Ed had projected, and swung it in the air to drive everyone backwards, and some were very reluctant, but the two generals present, Ed and Howard, made the same decision. There is no need for them to disagree.
Watching the Roland cavalry slowly retreat and gradually disappear behind the hills, Cole, the commander of the Ingirs, let out a disdainful sneer: "Hmph! It's just a bunch of cowards!"
However, Scott, who was beside him, did not see it that way, and he noticed the last glances of the soldiers who had to go away under the orders of his general. Wrath. Unwilling and admired, always mixed emotions, and finally merged into infinite hatred for his side.
"Maybe it's a mistake!" said to let these people go. The military advisors of the Ingir people regretted it a little, indeed. Originally, according to the strategy they had formulated before, their ultimate goal was Crown Prince Roland. This meant that the enemy courier they had caught by chance on their side had to return to Reims to give them a reason to stay.
On the other hand, it is difficult to grasp the middle degree of consuming the opponent's grain and grass, hitting its strength, and letting the Roland people see the hope of persevering. Previously, they had the opportunity to eliminate all the Roland knights in one fell swoop, which was beneficial to their own plan, but then the cavalry led by Ed arrived, they didn't want to fight, their side actually wanted to retain their strength, and they didn't want to fight a decisive battle, and even if they really ate this huge army, it was likely to cause the female commander to simply abandon Lance, not to mention the plan against the crown prince.
Because of these reasons, in order to ensure the final plan to kill Prince Charles, it is necessary to let the enemy go just now, and it is not a big deal to let Cole use the hostages in exchange for the commander on the opposite side to vent his anger, and by the way, he can reasonably explain his behavior of releasing water on his side, Scott thinks that this is a win-win-win plan.
At this point, since the flame of fury in the hearts of the enemy on the opposite side has been planted, it is irreparable, Scott turned his head and looked at the knight Ed in front of him, "It seems that it is not a loss to be able to take down this sowing person!"
"Alright, the deal is done, what's next, show your attitude! Eddard had lost the support of thousands of his companions, but he still bravely faced the enemy in front of him, staring into his eyes and asking frankly.
"Let me have a fight first!" said Chesterton next to him before Cole could speak.
With that, he took out the double-sided giant blade battle axe he was carrying from behind his back and walked up to Ed.
Snatched away by his younger brother, Cole had a look of wanting to say something, and finally he was familiar with Chesterton's belligerent temperament, so he had to wave his hand and walk back with Scott to watch the battle from the sidelines.
Ed didn't think that he could not do it, but at this time, he immediately swung the sword of Germo and met the fierce man head-on.
After a few unfettesome collisions between the knight's broadsword and the double-edged giant axe, both sides were roughly clear about each other's strength, and the result of each other's psionic test feedback was that the enemy was at the top of the bronze level like himself, and it could be regarded as evenly matched.
In addition, the battle of killing intent aura between the two sides that had already clashed once was also spread at the same time, attacking each other's spiritual will, in this regard, Ed had a slight upper hand after Carmen's training, but Chesterton was amazingly tough, and he resisted the constant stinging sensation of his soul will, and he actually became more and more fierce the more he fought.
The weapons are fighting, and the power from the opponent's hand is getting stronger and stronger, but Ed is a little absent-minded at this time, he is paying attention to the enemy's movements, and the boy has not been prepared to be captured from the beginning, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely turn over and escape.
It's a pity that the Ingirs don't seem to give him this opportunity, and the knights who were originally lined up in an array on the other side slowly surrounded the battlefield where the two were dueling, leaving only a wide circular clearing, which blocked all around, completely blocking Ed's way out.
