Chapter 26: Drills

Delia's original intention was just to tell Sù the future of those who were willing to follow her, but before she knew it, everyone was attracted to her, and a simple explanation turned into an impromptu speech.

Delia poured out her thoughts deep in her heart, and everyone in the audience listened attentively and quietly.

The world described by the girl belongs to ordinary people, everyone has their own rights and respect, and the psychic can no longer rely on strong force to oppress them, and the opinion of the majority will be the mainstream voice.

What a wonderful world it is, the powerful must give up the dictatorship and accept the will of the people, every ordinary person can only see this kind of scene in a dream, there is no need to worry that one day he will accidentally anger the lord and the whole family and persecution, there is no need to worry about the sudden outbreak of war around him, the free and equal world gradually unveiled itself to the people with the words of Delia.

Andrei's side couldn't continue the work of reorganizing the mercenaries, first from the periphery near the civilians, and then more and more mercenaries wanted to hear the world depicted by Di Liya, and the two groups of people who were incompatible silently surrounded the girl and listened, and many of them silently shed tears of excitement.

Ed and Andre looked at each other, both helpless and happy.

André dispersed a circle of mercenary leaders around him, turned around and walked towards the crowd, he only listened to it for a while and longed for Delia's description, it was indeed a wonderful world.

Then he asked himself, if he lived in such a world, would he still pursue great power regardless of a single qiē, and everyone's voice could be heard, and the strong no longer had absolute dominance over the weak, would he be happy there?

The answer is known only to him.

Ed listened a little and shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, this free world sounded so familiar, probably he had enjoyed it himself.

It is true that the dictator once caused an incomparably heavy disaster to the whole world, but a completely fair and democratic system is not necessarily as good as people think, not to mention that it is impossible for one generation to truly achieve it.

He supports Delia because he sees him as his companion, and doing this is not against his own will and bottom line, don't think about those things that are too far away, just live a wonderful life!

With this in mind, Ed stepped aside and sat down, and began to watch the reactions of the people present with interest as a spectator, taking pleasure in doing so.

"The lords are always engaged in unjust wars, and they are always wielding whips to drive us ordinary people to kill each other because of greed and arrogance. For this they must suffer eternal death and damnation, and we will lead every oppressed people on the path of glory that will never be destroyed under the guidance of the gods, and it is time to take up arms and resist, my brothers and sisters, take away eternal peace with a war, and the new world will be ours!"

Di Liya raised her hands high, her forehead wet with sweat reflected the dazzling light in the sun, and for the first time poured out her heart's wishes to so many people, the excitement triggered the vigorous holy power in her body, and the power of the star spirit invisibly resonated with everyone, and the light that rose to the sky spread from the girl's body, enveloping everyone.

The sound of cheers overwhelmed the waves, and the excited crowd raised their hands and shouted her name loudly, and at this moment Delia conquered everyone.

Everyone, whether civilians or mercenaries, put aside their hatred and embarked on a brighter path together.

Andrei involuntarily raised his hands in the crowd, and he was even happier that his work seemed to be over for the most part, and the rest could become a real soldier team with a little more practice.

**The curtain will finally come to an end, everyone is talking about it endlessly, and even the hatred between each other seems to be much weaker, many civilians can also have a normal conversation with the mercenaries, a greater goal is placed in front of everyone, and the unhappiness of the past slowly disappears.

Deria's speech succeeded in uniting everyone, but André was still busy, and it took him and Ed half a day to eliminate some of the old and weak and family, and reduce the ranks to five hundred, in addition to fifty of Deria's personal guards, who said that they were not willing to leave the girl's side to be the leader of the ordinary soldiers, and they were willing to give their lives for her.

The rest of the people reluctantly left with their families, and they would spread the stories of the young girl to the nearby towns, and the name of the saint would soon appear in the story of every tavern, and there would always be a young psychic knight by her side, inspired by the gods, who would repent and be willing to protect the saint forever until the last moment of her life.

The newly reorganized team also set off quickly, and now they are in high spirits, except for the relatively rudimentary weapons and equipment, it is no longer obvious that they are a newly made up army.

Ed and Deriace rode in front, and Andre rode his horse in front of the procession, constantly patrolling the front and back of the procession, giving orders from time to time to restrain the marching team, they were so short of time that they could not give up their training even in the middle of the march, and everyone had to learn to obey orders before officially entering the battlefield, and concentrate the scattered forces into a powerful whole.

In the evening, Ed was very bored, and Tiyì and Delia had a competition, he would use limited psionic energy, while Delia brought fifty personal guards and all of them blessed with the power of the star spirit, simulating the scene of encountering psionic knights on the battlefield, and actually testing each other's combat effectiveness.

Di Liya hesitated for a while, but Andre agreed very much on the side, and finally everyone discussed that Di Liya's side only defended and did not attack, and the main thing was to protect Di Lia's own safety, so that Ed could let go of his hands and feet, control the intensity of the battle and try to avoid casualties.

I heard that there was going to be a competition, and the soldiers who had just eaten rushed to watch the battle, although after the daytime march, but the fatigue could not stop these fanatical people, they all believed that with the blessing of the power of the Holy Maiden, it should not be a problem for the psionics, not to mention that it was still fifty to one, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to lose!

Andre frowned when he heard everyone's discussions, although he didn't know the actual combat ability of the star spirit power, but he couldn't let this kind of pride and complacency become a consensus among the soldiers, and appropriate suppression could make people recognize themselves and work harder.

"Hey, guys, let's have a gamble, whoever thinks the guards will lose will raise their hands, the winner will get an extra month's bounty, and the loser will not only have no money to take it tonight, but will also have to train extraly!" Andre said loudly to everyone.

Hearing his words, there was a commotion among the soldiers, they were originally mercenaries and civilians, the temptation of money to them at this time was still very huge, and the lofty ideal could make people calmly die at a critical moment but they could not be eaten in peacetime, so this gamble must be chosen carefully.

"Fifty pro-soldiers can't lose no matter how you look at it, not to mention that there are saints to bless them, that light is amazing!"

"On the other side is General Ed, he is a psionic knight, we were killed miserably at that time, no one can make a move under him, have you forgotten?" said a mercenary who had seen Ed's massacre.

"I believe that the saint will be invulnerable, a person is indeed not his opponent, but as soon as we rush up, we will crush him down at once, and we will win. And you didn't listen to the Holy Maiden, our goal is to fight the psionic knight lords who started the war, how can we lose?"

A few moments later, only a dozen or so people raised their hands despite the dissuasion of their companions and put the bet on Ed, and the remaining more than 400 people did not believe that the boy could win, and sided with the soldiers.

Andre nodded, counted the list of people who raised their hands, and walked towards Ed, "You can see it, if you lose, we won't be able to get so many bounties at once, but you can't win too obviously, you can't hit the morale of the recruits too much, brother, I believe you can do it!"

With that, he patted Ed on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging smile and turned to leave.

Ed smiled bitterly, Andre is really going to make trouble for himself, admonishing soldiers and boosting morale, but who calls himself the supreme commander of this team in name, and Delia is the spiritual leader, and Andre is actually in charge of many specific matters.

You can't lose but you have to grasp the measure to win beautifully, Andre is really thinking too highly of himself. Ed brace himself and turn to face the fifty soldiers who are gearing up, this is a challenge to himself, an opportunity to test, an opportunity to test his own abilities.

The crowd silently dispersed, giving way to a large open space, and many people were cheering for those who were familiar with the soldiers, hoping that they could defeat the teenager and boost their morale.

Seeing that the place had been vacated, Di Liya waved her hand to bless the power of the star spirit on the surrounding soldiers, and now she was much more proficient in using it.

She herself stood in the center of the crowd and was closely guarded, and randomly Andrei shouted next to her: "Start." ”

Many of the pro-soldiers still waved to the people around them casually, and when Di Liya released the power of the star spirit, they felt a burst of light surround them, this situation was very familiar to them, everyone would become invulnerable when they appeared before, so now the pro-soldiers feel a great increase in confidence.

When Ed heard the beginning of the shout, he consumed the psionic group, Delia did not favor one over the other, and had already blessed him with the spiritual fire, and now after consuming two psionic groups, Ed has reached his current maximum combat power state.

The young man clamped his horse under his crotch, and one man and one horse were like arrows from the string to shoot at the pro-soldiers, his moves were not fancy, that is, the cavalry on the battlefield charged the infantry, but with the help of the extremely fast speed after the blessing of psionic energy, Ed first arced to the left, and in the blink of an eye, he went around the flank of the pro-soldier formation, and then changed direction and rushed straight into the crowd.

In the face of the high-speed maneuver of the psionic knight, many people in front of him lost his figure without reacting, and shouted one after another: "Be careful, he's coming"

"Where's the other guys?

"Don't panic in front, the general is on the right, turn right, be careful, he's rushing over!"

Ed didn't wait for the other party to adjust his formation, he wrapped himself and his mount with psionic energy, and crashed into the pile of people like a meteor, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves without much resistance from the soldiers.

Di Liya's star spirit power does have a strong protective power, and the people who were hit head-on by Ed Bacheng were not too injured under the protection of the protective light, but they were all knocked out of the way, falling from the air into the crowd, and they couldn't find the direction for a long time, and their companions were dizzy.

Seeing the confusion of the pro-soldiers, although Di Liya was in a hurry, she was not proficient in the way of command, and Andre, who really knew and experienced next to her, did not speak, but frowned.

The formation of fifty people did not have much depth, and Ed could break through it in one fell swoop if he sprinted with all his might, but he left a little bit of strength, and after feeling the impact of his psionic energy colliding with the power of the star spirit began to slow his progress, Edtong Guò Ling's energy sensed and turned the direction of the war horse under his crotch, and walked diagonally through the weak part of the crowd.

This will be the pro-soldiers have withstood the first impact, and the people who are facing them head-on have not yet recovered, and the pro-soldiers from other directions have turned around and want to rush over to support.

As he walked out, he quickly used the agility of his cavalry and went around to the other side to attack again, when some of the men who saw him hurriedly turned to warn their companions to change the direction of the enemy.

However, at this time, from the outside, the formation formed by the pro-soldiers has become a mess, the fallen people have not yet stood up, the pro-soldiers who want to fill the position are still squeezing forward, and the people who find that the situation is not good want to pull their companions to turn around.

Andrei and some discerning people shook their heads, knowing that their defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Sure enough, when Ed changed directions and charged again, the resistance was greatly reduced, and the soldiers interfered with each other, and less than a single point of their strength could be effectively used.

Ed rode his horse all the way, knocking away the few soldiers who were in the way, and in the blink of an eye he was in the center of the crowd.

Ed's eyes were quick, and when he rushed past Delia, he turned over and stretched out his arms, hugged the girl in his arms, and then twisted his waist and sat up straight, and the treasure horse under his crotch was castrated, and the spiritual energy squeezed away the power of the star spirit on his own soldiers and their bodies, and when he looked back, Ed had already broken away from the crowd, holding Delia and bringing her out from the hands of the soldiers who were protecting her.

At this moment, he was like a knight who broke into the tiger's den in Longtan to rescue the princess, and returned heroically without hurting anyone.

The crowd of people who bet and lost on the side were like defeated roosters, and only a dozen lucky ones cheered and shouted praises to the knight for his bravery.

Some of the chaotic pro-soldiers have not yet found that the saint they protect has been easily taken away, and they are still looking for the enemy like headless flies, and after finding that they have failed, they even sit down on the ground and hide their faces and cry, they hate their uselessness, if the enemy only needs to send a knight on the battlefield to kill the people they protect in a few moments, what is the use of asking them to these pro-soldiers.

André gave Ed a thumbs up, then walked over to the depressed soldiers.

"You waste, look at yourselves, have any of them bled out?have anyone been killed?, why can't you protect the Holy Maiden even though the psionic knights can't hurt you?" Andre kicked the fallen soldier one by one and reprimanded him loudly.

When the onlookers and the soldiers heard the words, they all looked around blankly, and sure enough, no one was bleeding or injured.

Yes, the Psionic Knight can't hurt us anymore, so why would he fail?

"What you lack is training, unity! If you want to win, you must practice harder, unite the strength of fifty people on the battlefield and exert several times the strength......

Ignoring Andre's opportunity to train the soldiers, Ed ran out with a cigarette in his arms.

The girl did not speak from beginning to end like a shy princess, but buried her face in the boy's arms and let him take her trophy with her.
