Chapter 172: Another Wave Rises 5

"Damn! There must be an internal ghost, otherwise our knights come and go like the wind, and there have been no problems patrolling and protecting the supply line for the past few days, why did we get caught this time." A knight next to him said indignantly, his eyes still scanning the few ordinary warriors left in the group, obviously suspicious of them.

"Alright, the other issues will be investigated by Commander Delia when we go back, there is still a tough battle to be fought now!Ed, the other party has our prisoner in his hands!" Howard stopped his men's discordant actions.

The young man took a general look, at least twenty or thirty Roland knights were not in the team, not including the ordinary warriors that Max might send to participate in the escort, "What about Tennison?"

Ed's face changed suddenly, and the information fed back by his insight skills was engraved and compared, and he immediately found that there were key people among the missing personnel.

Howard shook his head, and the knight next to him, Will, said: "Lost in the pursuit, Lord Howard originally arranged a cover breakout and let people escort them away first, but unfortunately the enemy commander saw through the plan, and now he should be captured by the other party." Speaking of this, he was also very ashamed, Will, who has always been regarded as very smart, also contributed his own ideas in this plan, but he didn't expect it to be a failure.

"Because the enemy attack was so sudden, the letter from the crown prince and the plan for the next move were not handed over in time, and they were still on the two of them!" Howard added ashamedly.

Ed had a little headache, looked at the Ingier knights who were gradually tidying up on the opposite side, and said in his heart: "It seems that I have to fight this time!"

The enemy's idea was already clear, and it was indeed using harassment logistics to lure them into sending troops to protect them, only because the knights led by Howard themselves acted quickly. Moreover, he listened to his own advice and acted cautiously without giving the other party a chance to attack, so the enemy has not been able to seize the opportunity. It wasn't until this time that he got the exact news of the crown prince's reply from nowhere, and after mastering his whereabouts, he arranged the attack.

Go through the before and after events in my head. Ed hurried to issue an order to prepare his men for battle, and on the other side, Howard also said that they still had the strength to fight, and the knights got a short rest and regained a lot of strength, and at this time they reformed the queue and guarded aside.

After waiting for a while, just as the two sides were in full battle, unexpectedly, Ingill's side sent an envoy into the center of the battlefield alone. Ed consulted with Howard and sent an envoy to see what the Inghirs had planned.

The main force of the enemy is here, and according to Howard, who fought with him, and Eddard, who has the ability to perceive, there are about 500 psionics alone, and the rest have less than 1,000 servants.

And the two thousand elite cavalry on his side plus less than a hundred psionics, there is still a big gap in strength, even if you want to avoid the battle and break through, I am afraid you have to pay some price to do it.

When a soldier with the blessing of the power of the stars did not have an overwhelming numerical advantage over the psionics, Ed knew that he would not be able to use a continuous strangulation formation, once the psionics were given a chance to adjust calmly. The power that the other party can exert will be extremely terrifying, so he is still reluctant to fight if he can not fight, but the messenger of the crown prince is in the hands of the other party, and his side does not occupy the initiative at all in this situation.

Waited a while. The envoys of both sides returned separately, and Ed and the others got the terms offered by the other party, but it was extremely puzzling.

"The other side agreed to let all our troops leave. How is this possible?"

"What about their conditions?" Ed had a bad premonition in his heart, and there seemed to be a familiar presence in the other knight's psionic fluctuations.

The battlefield envoy sent to negotiate looked up at Ed tremblingly. In a weak voice, he replied, "The only condition is please, please leave Lord Ed alone." ”

His voice was like a mosquito. But it didn't escape the ears of everyone present.

"No way, you're talking nonsense!" several of Eddard's captains were indignant and rushed up to beat up the talker.

Reaching out to Ed to stop their reckless behavior, "That's the only condition?"

The one was obviously very scared, nodded blankly, and hurriedly ran down when he saw Ed waving his hand.

Howard frowned, obviously puzzled as to what the purpose of the other party's inexplicable request was.

"Ed, you don't really want to promise them, don't be stupid!" Kent, the knight next to Will, saw that Ed's face was wrong and hurriedly asked, did he know that Ed had been stupid before, and that time in the face of Larry's pursuit, one person led the other party away and won a way for the large army to survive.

Ed touched the sword in his hand, hesitated in his heart, but still said slowly: "I can exchange one of my knights for dozens of knights, and there are important messengers in it, there is no reason not to do it!"

"No, you're the commander of an army, who will take the thousands of cavalry under your dead command?" and if I leave you here and go back alone, Delia won't eat me!" Howard resolutely objected, he thought for a while and didn't understand what the enemy might be harboring, so he simply put it aside, patted Ed on the shoulder and signaled that he couldn't agree.

Faced with the enemy's conditions, few people on Roland's side agreed at all, "The enemy is not invincible, let's use the sword in our hands to send them back to that damn island! ”

Ed's men and the knights on Howard's side were all ready, and it was a big deal to respond to the unreasonable demands.

At this time, three knights came out of the opposite camp of Ingier again, and they all staggered and walked to the center of the battlefield, silently as if waiting for an answer from their side.

Ed saw it, saw the appearance of the one in the middle at a glance, and his heart was shocked, sure enough, he knew it, and then looked at the flag behind him that identified him, and immediately guessed the whole thing.

"I'm going to meet the commander of the other side, don't come with me, Lord Howard, if anything, you know what to do, bring everyone back safely!" Ed said solemnly to the veteran on the side, and then without waiting for everyone to stop him, he stepped out of the crowd and rode towards the center.

Leaving behind the stunned everyone, Ed let the war horse slowly pace, his right hand caressed the body of Gelmer's sword that had been reborn from Carmen's hand, and since then, he has experienced dozens of battles, although the souls of his subordinates have decreased a lot compared to the previous period of mass killing, but Gelmer still has accumulated a lot of revenant will, and he has not used it yet.

"Maybe today is the time for it to really come into play!" Ed thought silently, looking at the old enemy in front of him. (To be continued......)
