"Lord Eddard, no matter when, wherever, or whatever happens, please remember that each of us will be your most loyal soldiers, this is my oath!" The last officer to walk out of the council hall took off his hat and pressed his hand to his chest like everyone else in front of him, looking into Ed's eyes and offering him his oath of allegiance.

The general patted him on the shoulder, lifted him up and gave him a hug, and whispered in his ear: "Yes, I believe, just as I will never abandon you, my brothers-in-arms!"

After he left, Ed was the only one left in the empty hall, and a guard at the door walked in and asked if he wanted to change his residence immediately, after all, the front hall suddenly collapsed, and the back half was not suitable for the big man to live in anymore, even if it was intact.

Waving his hand, let the people below arrange it themselves, Ed signaled that he needed to be quiet, not wanting to be disturbed, the guards respectfully retreated and left, closing the door that was only half cut hard, just participated in such a blood-boiling ceremony, even if the order issued by Ed at this moment is ridiculous, they will strictly carry it out.

The young man smiled wryly and sat down in his chair, not in the mood to care if his indecent image would be seen by the passing soldiers.

For the first time, he was the core of hundreds of link points, providing them with the spark to ignite the power of the star spirits, and the burden on him was definitely stronger than any previous battle, and the roar that followed him in the crowd was indeed doing his best.

Until now, his vision would occasionally flash with sudden large black shadows, and the sound in his ears would also have a buzzing sound, all of which were manifestations of the violent impact of his soul reflected on the real body.

Rubbing the armrest of the handsome chair. Ed closed his eyes for a rare break, and muttered to himself, "Deria." Is it all so difficult, why do I see how easy it is for you to do it?"

The other party wants to bless tens of thousands of soldiers at every turn, and it seems that the number has only increased by a hundredfold. But Ed knew that the difficulty was not a simple superposition, and the requirements for his own soul were too high, far from what he could look up to now.

It seemed that Di Liya's original army of star spirit power could not be completely replicated in his hands, and the young man's tired heart didn't know how he could hold on next.

"I'm so tired!" Once his eyes were closed, he didn't want to open them again, and Ed desperately longed for a full rest as if he hadn't slept since he had crossed over, but only a short moment had passed, and a voice called softly in his ear.

"My lord, the statue of the Virgin has been moved into place, and I have people set up a special fence nearby. The Virgen men were a little objectionable at first and wanted to stop it, and then they asked to take over the guards themselves, but I ignored them, and now they have not dispersed, and they are preventing the rest of the people from approaching the statue. Chesterton whispered back to the situation, forcing his rough voice down to sound particularly awkward.

Eddard pressed his hand at his side downward, indicating that he was satisfied, and waited for a while to see that the adult had no other instructions. Chesterton also left the left and walked to the neighborhood to join the guards.

"Do you think that I dare not touch them in the name of Deria? If I go too far, I will not be as merciful as your saints! But for now, it is enough for the soldiers to see that the light of the star spirit on the statue of the saint has not been extinguished, and then the officers of all ranks will go back and convey my meaning. This military spirit has been completely stabilized. Ed thought silently.

Closing his eyes, he could feel the abundant power of the star spirit contained in the huge crystal statue not far away, and Di Liya had maintained the full power of the star spirit before. He should be able to sustain himself for a while.

"Your power is here, but where have you gone!" the power of the star spirit on the young man's body echoed in the stone statue. But looking outward, it is difficult to feel the power resonance of Delia's body.

With insightful experience, Ed slowly expanded the range of the power of the astral spirit. Outside the barracks, over the groves beside the road, and on the mainland, search parties were returning one after another.

"Farther away! farther away!" a piercing tingle broke the boy's efforts, and he curled up inward, as if it would be better, but the consequences of soul overdraft were countless times greater than the physical pain.

After resisting a round of counterattack, Ed forced himself to stand up, and Chesterton, who was concerned next to him, flashed behind him and supported his master's unstable body.

Ed looked back, this was the weakest time for himself, although his spiritual energy was not damaged, it was difficult for him to even drive his body to move normally when he fought, and the former enemy in front of him had no intention of attacking at all, and seemed to really regard himself as the object of allegiance.

Thanks to the helper that Delia left for him, from this moment on, he really trusted the other party, "Chesterton, you go to find someone to pick up the cavalry sent out to search, they are back!"

After a pause, Ed felt that his mental state at this time was really unable to support it, so he had to continue to order: "If there is any news, report it to me as soon as possible, otherwise wait for someone to come back and arrange to see me when it is ready." Gasping for breath and pausing, he stepped to get ready to go down and rest.

Chesterton arranged for the guards to take over, and walked towards the gate of the camp himself, and he could already see a little smoke and dust raised in the distance to indicate the return of the cavalry one after another, he was not surprised that the adults learned in advance, but just paid attention to the expression on the face of the leader, and waited for the other party to approach and ask if he had found anything, but the result was all frustrated and shook his head in denial.

The next day, after Ed recovered, he began to reorganize his army, and while familiarizing himself with what happened during this time, he shrank his military strength and prepared for the next big operation.

The Grand Duke of Burgundy did not announce a new deal for a long time, but began a new round of power build-up with Ingier.

The new king of the rear, Charles I, was silent about what was happening at the front, and Ed did not believe that there would be no royal eyeliner here, and the rear would not know if he did not block the news?

Sandwiched between the two forces, Ed smelled a strong sense of conspiracy, and even several of his cavalry squadron leaders began to report to him that there were rumors below that they had been abandoned.

It was only after three days that the spies who were asking around finally came back the exact news that Commander Delia had been captured by the Ingirs, and that it seemed that Archdeacon Andrei was involved in the operation.

"Betrayed by his own people!" this shocking news knocked Ed down again, he never thought that his and Delia's most trusted companion who came out of the small mountain village would betray his own people. (To be continued......)
