Chapter 36: After-effects

Little Eleanor was happy, his companion had won now, and he rushed to Ed's side and winked at him.

The chaos around slowly spread, several knights were red-eyed, and when they saw that there were not many people around Ed, they all rushed towards him, little Eleanor screamed and turned around and ran, Ed's reaction was a beat slower, and he didn't keep up with the little fat man who immediately slipped away when he saw that the situation was not good, and fell into the sea of people who were beaten by the group.

In this big scuffle, no one can clearly see who he is fighting with, you give it to me, I give him two punches, and a person rushes out next to you to help you beat the opponent down, and then turns the spearhead and gives you a flower on the face, Ed learned the hand-to-hand combat skills of fighting alone from the engraving, which will not be useful.

He protected his head and face, and after taking a few blows, he didn't care about fighting back, and rushed out of the crowd to make a path.

The ordinary people around them were all far away, and at most, their black iron-level bodies were half their lives lost when they were punched casually by these knights.

Ed ran out of the crowd and stood in the open street, behind them were the knights who were still entangled, they did not have the slightest elegant posture, one by one they were crowded together like ruffians in the market, and they were still immersed in this strange frenzy, and those who were beaten out of the edge shook their heads as long as they were not unconscious, and they wanted to turn around and squeeze in, and return to the battlefield.

At some point, little Elinor walked to Eddard's side with the stumbling Tennison, and saw that this old man's blue nose and swollen face must have been beaten.

"Come, help me, we have to get out of the way, the big knights will definitely have to catch the first offender when they come, I don't want to be reprimanded, but as long as we are not there at that time, they can't help it!" said Eleanor Jr., leaving Tennison almost all on Ed.

"These people?" Eddard picked up Tennison, and saw that the little fat man turned to leave, and he hesitated.

Little Eleanor tidied up his appearance, it was not easy to find Tennison and take him out of this way, "It's okay, I used to have a fight every day when I had alcohol, but now it's not so frequent, but there will definitely be a group fight in three or five days at most, let's just have a coincidence, and there will naturally be big knights to clean it up, let's go quickly!"

After the fight, Ed inexplicably felt a lot more comfortable, although the place where he was hit in the melee was still faintly painful, maybe he could consider learning the kung fu of those golden bell hoods and iron cloth shirts in the engraving, Ed thought while helping Tennison to follow the little fat man out of the street, leaving behind the never-ending noise.

Little Eleanor quickly took him to the door of another building, Ed looked up at the signboard, it was actually another tavern, there were not many knights in it, and he listened to two sentences of dialogue casually, and many people heard the news of the outbreak of the group battle and rushed to see the excitement!

Tennison woke up halfway through and listened to little Elinor's description, and the big man gave Ed a bear hug and patted the boy on the back and praised him for his awesomeness.

"Your skills are indeed superb, the next time we have a chance to use the Psionic Real Sword and Gun to fight, I think it will give me a bigger surprise, I'm really looking forward to it!" Tennison regarded the few three-legged cat kung fu that Ed learned from the engraving as a family secret, and praised it like a martial idiot.

Ed himself knew in his heart that his little skills after turning on psionic energy would definitely not be able to cover up the huge gap in each other's strength, but Tennison's words also reminded him that if he had the opportunity to try to combine these pure ** kung fu into the psionic state, it might have a miraculous effect.

The three of them had another drink in this tavern, and little Eleanor ran the train with his mouth, excitedly boasting to the people around him about the battle and the fierce battle just now, and many knights were itching to listen to it, and they left their seats and ran to participate, which is estimated to add a lot of new force to the battlefield of group fighting.

Ed pondered his thoughts, studying the moves and thinking about his companions, and Tennison was the same, at first he was drinking with Eddard, and then he looked thoughtful.

After nightfall, the three of them drove separately and did not say anything all night.

The next day, it was still the same tavern, and most of the broken walls had been repaired, and it seemed that this happened very often, and even the aftermath was very familiar.

Ed stayed for a morning and then left, but he already had a lot of fame among the knights, and these knights with blue noses and swollen faces would greet him kindly when they saw him, these young knights were not complicated, and they could form a deep friendship by drinking and fighting with them and then going to battle together.

Tennison didn't show up, I don't know if he was embarrassed or if something was really wrong, other than that, there didn't seem to be any sequelae of the fight, Ed thought about it, and it seemed that he was just accepted by everyone.

Delia is still working on the expedition, she still needs to learn a lot as a commander, and Prince Charles has arranged for her the best mentor to teach her the knowledge of marching and fighting in a hurry, but it is up to her to decide what she can do in the end.

André asks for a good sum of money, and he has to hire a group of mercenaries just in case. Judging from yesterday's situation, there were no knights who had taken the initiative to pledge allegiance to the new commander to participate in the expedition to support Ovare, not because they did not want to fight, but because they lacked basic trust in Deria.

If in the end, there is still only one knight in Ed, this reinforcement will become extremely difficult, almost no chance of winning, considering that Delia has the hole cards, the power of the star spirit can greatly improve the combat power of ordinary people, Andre made the choice of mercenary Jianyì.

Ed once asked, in his opinion, the combat power of the psionic knights in this world is so much stronger than ordinary people, is there any ordinary person who is willing to be mercenaries?

Andrei explained to him that it is precisely because of the strength of the knights that the main force of the war between countries basically depends on the strength of the knight class, and there are generally only a small number of standing armies composed of ordinary people in various countries, and the knight lords will not spend too much money to organize their own private armies, which are too useful in regular battles.

However, there are still a lot of troubles to deal with in the usual territory management, patrolling to protect caravans, resisting sudden bandits and beast invasions, as well as some personal commissions, etc., which give mercenaries the soil to survive.

Secondly, the national war like Roland's this time is an excellent stage for mercenaries from various countries to show their skills, and both warring sides will spend a lot of money to temporarily obtain the allegiance of these outlaws, which can save much money compared to raising a large number of standing armies.

This afternoon, Ed will accompany Andre to the mercenary camp outside the city to select a group of people to expand his team, Andre is responsible for negotiating the price, Ed chooses people, he has a premonition that he can meet some good partners who can really go to the battlefield together.
