Chapter 34: Drunken Brawls
Eleanor Jr. privately speculated to Ed that this high-ranking person who concealed military information had always belonged to the Crown Prince's side of the Parliamentary Ministers.
The Minister of Parliament, one of the three princes, was the leader of the compromise faction in this war, and he always discouraged the crown prince from delaying the time of sending troops, and actively sought to negotiate with the Ingier Empire to end the war through other channels, and had a very bad reputation among some of the low-ranking knights.
Ed wondered if it was the minister's hand that he suppressed the news this time and did not send troops to support Ameraburg, thus continuing his usual position.
However, there was a discrepancy in the news heard from Andrew, and after Elinor the others, there were knights who fled from Murray with their own troops, and according to these latecomers, in this attack by Ingier, the high-ranking knight alone led his troops to meet them at the first time.
It is reported that he fought bloodily at that time, and single-handedly blocked the charge of dozens of Ingier knights, until the night passed, the sky turned white, and he ran out of energy and died in battle, but he also bought precious time for his own knights on the battlefield, and the remaining knights had completed their assembly and suppressed the enemy in other areas, and the town of Murray did not seem to be lost in the end.
The first half of these messages is similar, the high-ranking knights in charge of guarding the town of Murray received a call for help from Fort Amera, but did not send reinforcements in the first place.
But the second half is very different, the knight could not have been unaware of the importance of the Ameraburg, and if he lost the fortress, he was completely exposed to the enemy's attack, and once Murray was lost, the city of Ovare in front would also be lost, and the crown prince, who had lost his last line of defense, would have to face the Ingirs at Hill Castle.
And this high-ranking knight used his life to wash away the possibility of deliberately delaying the fighter, the truth is confusing, and Ed, who is not proficient in politics, may not be able to understand the deep meaning behind this matter if he wants to break his head.
Fortunately, these problems are not Ed's main concern, he only cares about Charlotte's safety, but unfortunately there is no more news about Ameraburg, judging from the time, the Ingirs must have spent the least time to capture Ameraburg and then directly raided Murray Town, if there are still survivors of Ameraburg, it should be a day or two later.
Ed prayed in his heart and returned to his cabin, his companion Andre was not inside, and looked at the light outside the window, he must have been in Deria's house discussing with her about sending troops.
Ed doesn't want to get involved, Andre should be very suitable to be a military advisor, it's enough to have him help Delia, he still prefers to fight alone, maybe he should find a chance to fight with the knights here, Ed thought.
The next day was still very peaceful, in the morning Delia was summoned by the crown prince to discuss the strategy of rescuing the city of Ovalé, Andre and Ed followed little Eleanor to visit several powerful knights, in the afternoon Andre went out of the city to train the troops stationed outside, and Ed himself followed the little fat man to the tavern to drink.
Andre has a set, I don't know where to get a few bottles of high-alcohol good wine, let Ed take it to the tavern, it attracted a lot of knights to beg, after fighting a few times, Ed and their relationship is also a lot more familiar, with the help of engraving, Ed will not be completely drunk.
Several knights walked out of the tavern with the strength of wine, and beat each other on the street, they didn't use their spiritual energy, just relying on their bronze level ** to fight tigers and tigers, sweat and blood swaying in the air.
"It's like he's here to drink! Hit, hey, punch his nose!"
Tennison drank the good wine that Ed had brought, and at this time he had already hooked up with him and called him a brother.
"Hehe, now those big guys are going to have a headache again, the knights who drink and fight are not easy to manage, and they can only consider themselves unlucky when they are beaten, who told them not to supply enough alcohol!
Ed didn't think about it so much, the wine that Andre found, and the fights between the knights, shouldn't be counted on his head.
He observed the fights of these knights, and although it was not true that he had gone mad after drinking, he still obtained a lot of real numbers from the analysis of the engraving records.
After watching it for a while, Ed himself felt itchy hands, after coming to this world, he often started fights with people, and he kills people at every turn, and the crazy blood in the bones of the young man seems to have been stimulated, just like the authentic knights in this world, it is uncomfortable if he doesn't do it for three days.
Ed looked around, little Eleanor helped him a lot, and looking at his round figure, he was not a good opponent, Tennison on the side was good, they were all bronze level bodies, although there was a difference in height at the small level, but there was still the possibility of a fight, as long as the gap between psionic energy was not used, the gap would be further narrowed, and there was nothing to be afraid of empty-handed Ed on both sides.
Little Eleanor didn't get a response when he said a few words to Ed, tilted his head to look over, and found that his eyes were not right, why did he always look at Tennison's muscular arms, and then look at the knights who were fighting fiercely off the field, and with a roll of his eyes, he had already guessed Ed's thoughts.
Ed and Tennison are both the objects that little Eleanor is optimistic about and wants to woo, the former is a potential stock, and the latter already has some prestige, so it is in line with him to let the two of them have a good discussion without hurting him, so he stood on tiptoe and said a few words to Ed to encourage him to go up and challenge, and then squeezed to Tennison, but the big man was looking at it, where did he notice the little fat man jumping in front of him.
Little Eleanor angrily stepped on the instep of Tennison, and without waiting for the other party to get angry, he immediately raised his finger and pointed at Ed, and said loudly to him: "He wants to challenge you, dare you fight!"
"Good!"
Tennison roared with joy, almost overpowering the noisy crowd, and many of the people who were close to him turned their heads to wonder why.
Ed moved his body, felt his blood boiling even more, fight, sweat and fight with strength, and forget all his troubles!
"It's still the old rule, you are not allowed to use psionic energy, only hand-to-hand combat, and if one party gives up, it will end. Little Eleanor jumped up between the two and shouted, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he jumped to the side like a rabbit.
Ed and Tennison glanced at each other, rushed at each other in unison, and at the same time reached out to grab each other's bodies, and in an instant the two collided with each other with a bang, and the four hands were clenched together, and the knuckles were white.
The surrounding crowd saw that another battlefield had been opened up here, and they all applauded loudly, and those who got close hurriedly gave up a clearing that was enough to turn around, but they were not far away, looking at the fierce fight close at hand, everyone felt extremely excited.
Ed has been a little depressed for Charlotte's affairs in the past two days, and he took the initiative to fight to vent out, but as soon as he started fighting with Tennison, he knew that he couldn't please in terms of strength, and he had to find another way to win.
