Chapter Twenty-Eight: But the Enemy
As Ed's words fell, the sound of many horses galloping and crowds running gradually sounded in the distance.
The knight leader of Ingier hesitated slightly, although listening to the sound, these are just ordinary soldiers, but the psionic knight can stimulate the psionic energy to wrap his mount to minimize the sound of horses' hooves, and this place is indeed very deep behind enemy lines, and the appearance of this hateful young knight in front of him means that more psionic people may be nearby.
To go or to stay? The three Ingier knights pondered this question in their hearts.
"Woo!" the Ingill knight, who had been pierced through the thigh by the Rose Spear, snorted in pain, pulled out the pierced spear, slowly supported the injured leg, and moved towards the soldier he had brought.
Ed's heart moved, "It seems that this person has made up his mind to leave." ”
Indeed, if there were more Roland knights to come to his aid, he would definitely be the first to be left behind if he had a leg wound when he fled, so it would be better for him to be safe and leave first.
The leader looked at the knight who was slowly leaving, although he was the oldest and had the power to give orders, but he was not loyal to the other two pursuing knights, and if the other party was determined not to give him face, he would pat his ass and leave without any way.
"Wait, leave me the gun, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Ed looked at the Ingill knight who slowly walked past him and wanted to return to his team, and raised his hand to block the way with the sword Germo lying across the direction he was going, and at the same time said with a cold face.
"You ......"
Seeing that the kid who hurt himself in front of him was so arrogant, the knight who had already made up his mind to leave had a burst of fire in his heart, his staggering steps paused slightly, and the spiritual flame on his body burned in the wind again.
Ed also did not show weakness, once again put in a psionic group to forcibly urge the psionic energy,-for-tat raised the spiritual flame on his body, only to see two soaring flames rising at the same time and facing each other in the air, instantly the wind and clouds changed color, and even the air between each other made a crackling sound, and was squeezed and exploded by the powerful spiritual pressure.
"Hmph!" Feeling the aggressive momentum of the young man, the injured Ingier knight struggled in his heart, but he hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly suppressed his momentum.
He flung his spear in the direction of the fleeing Roland soldiers.
With a "duh", the spear of the rose grazed a soldier's face and nailed to a large tree, the tip of the spear piercing through the trunk, and the tail continued to tremble and let out a low roar.
The unlucky soldier was shaken out several meters by the high-pressure wind energy of the spear, and fell to the ground, unknown to anyone, and his companions around him were shocked on the spot, let alone to help, several of them were unstable on their feet, and they sat down on the dirt.
Ingier's wounded knight, who threw the gun out and soothed the evil breath in his chest, continued to return to his team, Ed turned his face, pulled the knight's broadsword back to his side, and then refocused his gaze on the remaining two enemies, not like the two Roland knights behind him, still staring at the enemy psionics walking by, as if he was afraid that he would turn around and sneak attack.
Ed's series of insolent expressions fell in the eyes of the remaining two, which was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The other party seems to only want to save the two Roland knights, and is unwilling to desperately prevent the enemy from leaving, and the slightest provocation by his own side to the young man seems to cause a great backlash, maybe whether to save the lives of the three of them is all in his thoughts.
The sound of the boiling people behind him is getting closer and closer, and at this moment, in the eyes of the Ingier people, there is a knight blocking the road in front of the other party, and a large number of enemy reinforcements in the back, so there is no need for the remaining two to hesitate.
Without further ado, they made the decision to retreat at the same time, watching Ed's movements as they slowly bypassed him and walked towards their own army.
This group of Ingill soldiers was still zazakh earlier, constantly waving flags and shouting and cheering for their three powerful knight leaders, and when Ed appeared gorgeously, his arrogant and wild posture was completely the style of a high-ranking knight, how dare they put another half a word out, and they all closed their mouths tightly, for fear of arousing the ideas of the strong, and suffering the same unwarranted disaster as the unlucky guy opposite.
The few knights in front of them were quite clever, and at this time they hurriedly brought horses to the three big men, the previous fierce battles had already exhausted their own war horses, if there was a god horse, they would have had a chance to take down the prey, BMW and the god soldiers are also the best companions of knights, and they are also very rare.
The frustrated Knight Ingier turned over and gave his own soldier a whip on the head, "Waste, I don't know what to do around to stop the reinforcements on the opposite side, why are you stunned, don't let me withdraw!"
Ed withdrew his psionic energy, slowly extinguished his own soaring psionic energy, stretched out his hands and slowly picked up the two wounded knights and handed them to the soldiers who rushed over to them, not giving him a second glance at the retreating Ingill troops behind him.
The only intact knight leader of Ingier had already turned his horse's head and retreated, and at last glance at the young knight's back, he shouted loudly and angrily, and ordered the soldiers to speed up their pace and distance themselves from the Roland reinforcements.
Ed's confident expression looked at the eyes of the two Roland knights, and he couldn't help but have a great admiration for him, compared to his own cautious appearance, it was really embarrassing!
"Thank you for your help, we will repay the two of us at any cost if we have the opportunity! A knight with a less wounded wound said.
Seeing this old knight who was older than himself calling himself an adult, Ed knew that they must have misunderstood something, but the saving grace was real, "No thanks, my name is Edwin, and people who know me well call me Eddard, you come with me first, go to the camp to heal the injuries before anything else." ”
The two knights looked at each other when they heard this, Edwin, it seems that there is no psychic knight with this name in the Roland Kingdom, could it be a rising star newly cultivated by the family, looking at this domineering demeanor, at least the heir of a faction in the family!
The two of them didn't dare to be reckless, raised their hands and bowed their waists, and still said very respectfully: "It turned out to be Your Excellency Edwin, our injuries are fine, our spiritual energy is not exhausted, and it will be good to recuperate from the injuries and fatigue on the **, but there is one more thing that you need to ask Your Excellency for help." ”
Seeing that the two were still very restrained, Ed had no choice but to go with them.
"Oh, what's the matter, if it's the Ingier Knights, I'll send someone to follow them, but I don't think these guys will go and return. ”
"Well, with Your Excellency here, it is naturally impossible for them to have the courage to attack anymore, what we want to ask Your Excellency to send more people to find someone nearby, he left before us, and may be lost nearby. ”
As he spoke, the group of Roland soldiers who had fled before had already gathered around his knight, and he called his deputy, and carefully searched the crowd without finding the person he was looking for.
Without waiting for Ed to ask, the other party continued: "Actually, it is the little young master we protect, he is the son of our patriarch, and he is as old as Your Excellency, but his spiritual energy is far worse than yours, and it is not deep, so when the three of us resist the pursuers together, the young master's spiritual energy is the first to dry up, so let's let him go first, and the two of us will be behind, fortunately he will be rescued by Your Excellency, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable." ”
"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about finding someone, it should be a trivial matter, look, my people are here, let's go over and find it together!" Ed agreed, and saw Andre rushing over with a lot of soldiers on horseback, followed by Delia and her group of personal soldiers.
Ed led the two knights to meet with them, briefly introduced each other, and when they saw that neither of them had psychic powers, but were just ordinary people, they regarded them as Ed's entourage and didn't care very much, and at the same time they were anxious to find their own young master, and they were perfunctory despite their discomfort.
When Delia and Andre heard that Ed had scared the other three Ingill knights away, they were shocked to know that their companion was bold.
Although Di Liya had previously played the slogan of overthrowing the Psionic Knight to everyone, in fact, everyone knew the power of the Psionic Knight, and the process must be very difficult to achieve this goal.
"Ed, your bravery is really one in a thousand, a rare general in the world!" Andre pressed the thought in his heart, and praised the exploits of his companions without hesitation, in the eyes of those in their know, the young man is not a standard psionic knight at all, he can be repelled with one enemy and three, and it is enough to put it into the legend.
Ed was a little embarrassed by his companion's praise, waved his hand, and told him about the promise to help the two Roland knights find their young master, Andre listened to it and ordered, and Delia also sent his own soldiers to help, cooperating with the ordinary soldiers brought by the other knights to find it.
Ed accompanied the two Roland knights to chat and wait, but let everyone search around, shouting the name of this young master, but they couldn't find each other.
"You little master Eleanor are fast enough on your legs and feet, and you can run far when your spiritual energy is exhausted!"
The two knights didn't care much about Andre, in their eyes, only psionics with the same status were equal talking partners, and the guy in front of him who failed the enlightenment ceremony was also worthy of fighting the psionic knights, and Ed had no choice but to chat with the two and say something that was not nutritious.
"Uh...... To tell you the truth, my young master is quite strong, he is not a strong person, and he really shouldn't run too far without psionic energy, could it be an accident?"
The older knight spoke, his face even more anxious.
"It's all my fault, I should send my guards to protect the little master, if I can't find him, I'll hang these rice buckets without leaving anyone behind!"
He spun back and forth, thinking that relying on these waste men was not the way to go, and after a little discussion with the other, he said sorry to Eddard, and the two of them forced themselves to lift their psionic energy to join the search team.
This young master is the only psionic heir to their allegiance to the Grand Duke, and the two of them once swore to the glory of knighthood that they would protect him until he reached adulthood, or else they would bear the shame of death that would not be washed away.
On this continent, the nobles ruled the commoners with their psionic powers, and their heirs must first be a psionic knight, and then they must go through various trials on the battlefield to officially gain the recognition and allegiance of other psionics with their outstanding achievements and bloody killings.
And the preferential treatment that the heirs of those big families can get is that they can have a small number of psionic people selected by the family as companions, and these people can give up themselves to protect the heirs at a critical moment while ensuring a high level of loyalty, and these two knights of the Roland Kingdom are the most typical examples.
"If you're strong and can't run fast, you're fat!" Ed smiled.
"Wait, I think I've met a fat man somewhere!"
Subsequently, the Mind Engraving dutifully saved the fragments that the host had not noticed before, and displayed them at this time.
"The one who was knocked out by his own palm knife in the bushes seems to be a fat man, and he is still running in front of everyone!"
Ed suddenly realized that he had just attacked the enemy, and then put on a dangerous empty plan to scare the opponent away, this pre-war episode has long been forgotten.
Ed looked at the small bush he had rushed out of, not far away, perhaps too close to the center of the battlefield, and because he had come out of it, no one had thought to go inside to search.
I thought that the little young master must be far away from here when he ran in front, who knew that this fat man probably knew that he couldn't run fast, so he simply wanted to hide in the bushes to avoid the limelight, who knew that he happened to run into himself, and he didn't know if he was unlucky!
After deducing the basic truth, Ed naturally couldn't pretend not to know, just at this time, everyone followed the two knights to search in the distance, and those who were left nearby were their own people, and Ed didn't shy away from it, and ran into the bushes under the stunned eyes of Delia and Andre, and dragged out a little fat man from it.
Judging by the torch, this guy and Ed are about the same age, sixteen or seventeen years old, but they are full of small chubby, their limbs are not long but their belly is round, Ed admires that he can cut each other's necks in the dark at that time, maybe it is the intuition of practicing spiritual energy, and now it is extremely difficult to find something similar to the neck from the circle of fat under the firelight.
"Ed, now I really worship you, nothing can be difficult for you, this is the little young master they are looking for!" Andre stepped forward to investigate, and when he saw that the other party was just unconscious, he stood up and said to Ed half-jokingly.
Ed ignored the unscrupulous guy who was looking for his own pleasure, and shook the unconscious guy in his hand vigorously, and the fat was thrown out of the waves, and he didn't see any signs of waking up, so he had no choice but to ask the girl next to him for help.
Delia looked back at the Roland Knight Centaur who was still searching in the distance, and without saying much, she released a healing technique to the guy in Ed's hand, although it was overkill, but the effect was really good, and the other party woke up in a daze.
The light of the magic was particularly eye-catching at night, and although the two knights were slower to react to the injured spirits, they were looking around to find people, paying close attention to the movements around them, and found that the power fluctuations here were invariably looking here.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ed had to wave to the two of them and signal to the little fat man in his hand.
Seeing from a distance that the young master of his family was paralyzed and caught by Ed, the two did not dare to slack off, and in the blink of an eye, they turned on their spiritual energy and left their entourage and rushed to Ed's side.
Seeing this, Ed stretched out his arm and handed the heavy guy to the worried knight, and when he didn't know what to say, Andre next to him spoke.
"We just found him in the bushes, and his companion has released his healing spell to him, maybe he was unconscious here due to his spiritual exhaustion, but it seems to be fine!" he glared at Eddard and motioned for him not to tell him about hurting the other party for the time being.
The older knight carefully checked the young master's condition, and found that it was indeed fine, and that he was slowly waking up, so he handed him over to his companion next to him and bowed to the three of Ed.
"I'm really sorry, we were so rude just now that we didn't notice that there is another magician here, thank you Lord Ed and you for saving your life, and swear by the glory of knighthood, we will remember it. Both knights were sincere in their words and solemn in their expressions, swearing in the name of glory that they were the most important oath of a knight, and they would never be broken.
Ed noticed that when he saved the lives of these two people before, they swore that they would repay him, but now that the young master who found them no longer mentioned the repayment, but only said that he would keep it in his heart.
Ordinary people may feel that the former is more realistic, and saving their own lives must be more important than saving the lives of the people they want to protect, so they don't mention anything in return, but Ed feels from their two demeanors and tones before and after, as if the latter is more important to them.
Remembering the affection is to elevate you to a very high position in your heart, and repaying the favor means that the favor debt will be cleared after the debt, which is very different.
Ed's impression of the psionic knights, the old knight Bandy is moody and often preys on the people, but in the end in order to protect the village to die on the battlefield, the enemy knights encountered in Ameraburg do not forget to tease the enemy when they have the upper hand, and do not take to heart the soldiers who besieged the city at a great cost of death and injury on their orders, and immediately retreat when the battle situation is unfavorable regardless of the lives of others, the two psionic knights in front of them are also equally disdainful of ordinary people, but they take the oath they made extremely seriously, and the people they swear to protect are more important than their own lives.
Ed arrived at a very confused situation, what should a real knight look like?
