The second group of troops to set out from Auvare was much larger than before, not only Ed and the five hundred elite cavalry under his command, but also five thousand soldiers who arrived later, and some knights who were delayed during the day and could not set off with Commander Delia.

Fortunately, the daylight hours after the winter here have become longer, and their army still has enough time to rush to the front fortress, Andre is so busy in the process that he doesn't even have time to drink water, and every document needs to be approved by him, select those teams with better conditions to set off, and leave those teams to stay here overnight and then go on the road tomorrow, not only to consider the logistics of the troops, the state of the team is still bad at this time, but also to think about one more step, which troops may be urgently needed by Di Liya in front of him now.

Ed felt that his head was big just by looking at it, he knew that he was not a strategy lover at all, at most he had some ideas about local command, which was why he didn't want to get too involved in military affairs before, but the last few experiences made him know that if he wanted to lead his soldiers well, he had to understand them fundamentally, and the general who did not participate in the training was just a puppet after all.

After receiving the paperwork that Andre handed over to lead the troops to set off, Ed breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his brows that were about to be knotted, and said to him with a smile: "Brother, now you have to deal with those old foxes here by yourself, be careful, Di Liya and I can't accompany you!"

"Hey, Ed, I actually think you're still very talented in this area, and you can draw inferences just by looking at us just by doing it, you know. Most of the deacons here have been trained since childhood, and I used to take special courses when I was an apprentice, so why don't you stay with me for two more days? It should help me a lot!"

Andrei patted the boy on the shoulder and said with a grin.

"Excuse me, my eyes hurt when I see the report now, and I'm going to faint when I smell the parchment, and staying for another two days will really kill me!" Ed knew that the other party was joking, so he also cooperated and put on a look of avoidance, and fled to the good-natured laughter of the deacons in the room.

In fact. André didn't say it was all a joke, Ed's previous performance was really outstanding, after all, it was from the era of information explosion. None of the other deacons here have been forced to learn these boring paper talks since childhood, and they also have a deep understanding of the pain that Ed said.

After an early dinner, Ed set out on the road again with his fully prepared troops, the sun still hanging obliquely in the air in the distance and refusing to set. But the locals are all swearing. The sun god walked the most anxious on the road to return late, and now it looks high, and it will have to fall off after a while.

Sure enough, Ed saw that the fireball did seem to disappear into the mountain at a faster speed than usual, but fortunately, the bright moon on the other side showed its head early, and the earth was sprinkled with silver frost, not much darker than the day.

Scattered around, riding in the moonlight. Everyone returned to the fortress where Ed had fought without saying a word.

It was very well modified by the Ingirs, but it could not accommodate five thousand warriors. Fortunately, the people who came before had already set up camp outside the fortress, and after handing over each other, Ed entered the fortress to meet with Delia and the others.

At the door, he happened to meet several knights coming out, and Ed was stopped by someone, who was none other than his former friend Knight Tennison.

"Hey, look, that's what I told you about the knight who won't get drunk, Ed, come, I'll introduce you to this is my brother Stanley, how about we go have a drink together in a moment!"

Holding the young man, Tennison first introduced him to the guy next to him, "Knights who don't get drunk, this title is really ugly, Tennison, don't give your son this kind of name in the future, be careful that he grows up and is anxious with you, besides, we don't need you to introduce you, Stanley and I have already met!"

Ed said and compared the two brothers, people who don't know can know who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother just by looking at their appearance, Stanley is indeed older, Tennison is better, but after all, he is still a big man, and he is rougher.

"Yes, we are old acquaintances, speaking of which, if it weren't for Knight Ed Eddard who came to deliver the message first, and then led the team to support in time, your brother may not be able to see you now!"

The top general under the Hoover Knights of Ovalare City patted his younger brother on the back and said loudly, Ed hurriedly said a few words modestly, and a few people chatted casually at the door, it turned out that Tennison had taken the two mercenary groups of Malonen and Shilin out on a reconnaissance mission before, no wonder I didn't see this guy in Will's team yesterday.

Several knights and squires passed by him, and Ed remembered that he still had something to do, and said goodbye to the two and entered the hall.

After explaining his intentions to his guards, Ed was not ushered into the conference hall, but was taken directly to another bedroom to wait for a while.

Delia didn't choose the residence of the main commander in the castle, where Larry knocked out a big hole and still hasn't filled it.

With the fire blazing, Ed shook off his cloak that was slightly wet by the night fog and roasted it, and before the water trail in the corner could completely disappear, the door behind him had been opened and closed.

"Ed!"

Hearing the voice, the boy turned to face his closest companion, Delia, and the girl's face looked very tired and heartbreaking.

As if noticing the other's gaze, Delia walked over to his side, casually put down the legendary equipment shepherd's cane she was holding, and the moment it fell, a soft light spread from above and spread to her master's body.

The tiredness disappeared in an instant, and the girl's face was like the petals of a flower still stained with dew in the morning, and her radiant appearance did not show that she was still so haggard just now.

Ed stared at the other party's eyes, only in this way could he get rid of the cover and discover the truth behind Delia's divine art, "This is not good, you are overdrawing yourself, and divine magic is not omnipotent, just like old Ford, after the oil runs out of light, no matter how strong the divine skill is, it can't be saved!"

Hearing her companion's words of concern, Di Liya insisted on waving her hand to stop paying attention to this topic, although her heart was warm.

"Ed, we don't have much time, we must expand the results before the enemy reacts, take more lost ground in one fell swoop, and wait for the other party to realize that a local advantage has been formed, so as not to let the situation fall into the quagmire, Roland has lost too much blood, we can't afford to wait without the enemy to attack!"

understood the other party's intentions, knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless, Ed obediently changed the topic, wasn't she so strong and stubborn before.

"Then bite off the enemy's artery and make it bleed more than we do!" Ed said firmly.

It's really beneficial to help her do more on the battlefield!(To be continued......)
