Chapter 166: A Wave of Unsettled 9
"Weird, evil, and powerful!" said the sign on the back of Ed's hand, though vague, but the sight of it always evokes these feelings in the heart.
The energy attribute that formed it was also very strange, Ed and Deria both used their own energy to detect it and did not get any useful information, and Ed only obtained some relevant information when he manifested it with his own mind.
"This is the phantom of the Gluttonous Eater, one of the symbols that the Knight Guild has given to knights who have outstanding achievements in a certain area, unique and rare, but has no practical effect in itself!"
After listening to Ed's introduction, Delia nodded, "We still know a limited amount about this organization, I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future to help you collect relevant information, Ed, before that, you better be careful, don't activate this thing easily." ”
The girl said with a frown, looking at her slightly disgusted eyes, Ed retracted his mental attention with interest, and the terrible sign on the back of his hand slowly faded away.
In fact, this is Carmen after returning to the association according to the previous Ed's exploits specially sent to him to reissue, according to the strength of the psyker Knight Association has developed a set of special hierarchy, bronze and silver, etc., in addition, the members of the association who have obtained special achievements also have a set of special reward standards, such as Eddard is to achieve the achievement of "killing more than 100 hostile psionics at the same level as each other", and there are dozens of others.
And it happened that before its strength was raised, it was personally tested and recognized by Carmen that he had a chance to obtain this gadget, although it itself has no effect at the moment, as previously stated. It can't help improve your strength, but it's still very difficult to obtain. When the strength is low, it is difficult to kill psionics of the same level, and the corresponding requirements will also increase after the strength increases. It's even more difficult.
Only when Eddard encounters war, and when his psionic strength is very low, he can take the position of a high-ranking general, and he also has an alternative energy such as the power of the star spirit to help him fight against the enemy, all the conditions are combined, and then he happens to be cruising to the top of the nearby guild to get the favor of the other party.
In fact, Ed is the only one who has accepted this honor for a hundred years, among them, the war against the alien race in the north is also a key factor, there have not been many civil wars on the mainland in recent years, and a large number of knights have been killed in battle has not been allowed. Until recently, due to various reasons, the two associations have shifted their focus and reduced their control over remote countries like Roland Ingier, and they have been reluctant to intervene in their wars.
Walking out of Deria, Ed touched the back of his hand, there was no trace of abnormality, and the detection of the engraving was also a fog, due to the input of the information last time, the recent mental engraving seemed to be a little overloaded, and the activity in all aspects was greatly reduced, and Ed didn't care about it. As long as nothing is lost, he will be of great use to it.
Arriving at the training camp of his cavalry, the vice-captain who had followed him back had changed into dry clothes and paced by the door. Seeing the arrival of the chief, he hurriedly greeted him.
"My lord, are you still training today?"
Ed looked at the sky, it was gloomy. Although it didn't rain, the air was still full of moisture, and the feeling of the autumn wind blowing through the cool was very uncomfortable. "Go ahead, go and inform!"
The vice-captain looked at the muddy wet ground under his feet. Without further ado, he replied directly, turned around and walked over to the heralds who followed behind and gave a loud order.
Ed ignored him, walked into the building by himself, climbed the high platform, and after a while, the soldiers on horseback gathered and entered in a neat formation from one side to start the daily drill.
Because the continent itself does not rely on ordinary soldiers as the main force of combat, it is very crude in terms of basic military system, and management mostly depends on the personal ability of leaders, lacking an effective complete system.
And what Ed has been doing recently, in addition to raising the banner to scare the enemy away, is to concentrate on combining the information in the engraving to design a military system suitable for his own use.
At present, he divides a hundred-man cavalry team into five squads, each team is twenty people, among which the subdivision of personnel practice the strangulation formation tested in the last actual battle, and their task on the battlefield is to gather the strength of a squad to divide and strangle a single enemy knight, relying on the protection provided by the power of the star spirit and their own numerical advantage far more than the opponent.
The captains at all levels under him are also adapting to this new tactic, the hundred-man team is still five squads as a squadron, a total of five hundred people, and the real elite cavalry of the 30,000 soldiers is barely four squadrons of about 2,000 people qualified, and the rest of Ed will be classified as second-line troops, and will be transferred according to the situation on the battlefield, after all, too many of their own people will be gathered together will greatly hinder the actual command and reduce the combat power.
In addition, one of the tasks that Ed is also working on is to deduce the corresponding technical version of the power of the astral spirit based on the actual combat skills of the psionic knights on the actual battlefield, such as gathering the power of the astral spirit of everyone together to form a more powerful tactical shield, and how to teach ordinary soldiers to use the power of the astral spirit on their horses to improve their riding skills and sprinting power.
This piece is more difficult than building a military system, and he can only ask his knight friends for advice, and at the same time slowly explore according to the deep understanding accumulated by cracking several spiritual energies before the engraving, and he should be able to make a basic version to teach to his elite cavalry before the battle in a few days.
With so many things to worry about, Ed quickly forgot about the Gluttonous Beast Phantom in his hands.
Deria also has her own things to do, not only the accusations of the commander-in-chief, but also the deployment of the team according to the detected military situation, the selection of the predetermined battlefield and how to mobilize the existing troops to guide and confuse the enemy, and after the previous battles, she and Ed still found that the best way to deal with the psionic knights of the group charge.
Instead of using Eddard's cavalry troops to hedge against it, they relied on the super protection provided by the power of the star spirit to form an indestructible infantry phalanx, slowly advancing, allowing the cavalry team to look for opportunities on the periphery.
There are also weaknesses in this method, one is whether the enemy is willing to directly attack the main formation like last time, and use the knight's spear to test her infantry shield, if the enemy blindly fights outside, or even harass his own logistics troops, the consequences will probably be very bad.
Another point is that Delia can't reduce the protection of the frontal soldiers due to lack of preparation like last time, and be rushed into the core by the enemy, which is how to correctly guide everyone and unite their respective star spirit powers.
After the previous punishment incident, Delia has some clue about this, and she doesn't think she will disappoint Ed. (To be continued......)
