"You want me to greet the emissary of the Continental War Association?" Ed asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, it's not just the people of the War Association, but also the guys from the Knight Association are said to be in there, and they want to see you by name. Delia covered her forehead with one hand, as if this matter had made her very difficult.

"The War Association people have just collected this year's fees from Ingill, and are now on their way to the Crown Prince, passing us by the way, so Prince Charles simply handed over the task of greeting the escort to us. ”

The so-called collection of fees, Ed knows a little, because the war against aliens in the north has been going on, the countries of the continent must supply a part of their forces every year under the coordination of this so-called war association, including various special war materials and the most basic money, etc., and the corresponding manpower is also indispensable.

The real military strength of the two countries, the large-scale knightly order has long been forcibly conscripted, Ingier in the following years have cobbled together a so-called second knight order, and Roland's side, because the old king happened to be infected with the disease and began to go crazy, died a few years later, so the main political forces in the country have been in internal friction for the new throne power, resulting in a great reduction in military power, but also laid the bane for today's invasion.

"The top priority should be to immediately send troops out of the country, expand the power out of the Ovareh region in one go, and further recover the occupied area of Roland, what is the crown prince thinking, asking us to stop fighting at such a critical time just to welcome these guys?"

Andre, who was on the side, saw that Ed was indignant, although he was also uncomfortable in his heart, but he still stood up to explain to him: "Ed." Don't underestimate the strength of these two associations, any one of them who shows their support for us will greatly help us improve the current situation. Even a word from the top brass could make Ingier immediately abandon the aggression and withdraw all forces from the occupied area. ”

It was the first time that Ed had heard that the power of the association was so powerful, and it was not surprising that it was certainly strong enough to be able to receive "tribute" from various countries every year.

"If they really wanted to stop it, they should have stepped up when the Inghirs started the war, and they should have done it now. It will only offend both sides at the same time, and Emperor Ingier will not say what they think, even our Crown Prince His Excellency must have a grudge. Why didn't you make a move in the first place, causing us many casualties and losing face. ”

Howard, the silver knight, saw it clearly, and pointed out the joints in a mocking tone. It doesn't seem to be enough to say it. He continued: "Our crown prince is just lucky, always dreaming of relying on others to wipe his ass, instead of thinking about this all day long, it is better to raise his flag as soon as possible, and personally lead the team to the battlefield to fight the momentum of the Roland royal family, so that no one will respond! Oh, Your Excellency Delia, of course I don't mean you when I wipe your ass, you are naturally the real savior of the kingdom!"

unscrupulously criticized the crown prince of his own family. Speaking of pleasure, Howard smacked his lips before he came back to his senses and seemed to have brought his immediate boss in. Quickly apologized.

Waving her hand, Di Liya naturally didn't care that she had become someone else's savior, as long as she could relieve the suffering of the people, she would be happy.

"Ed, the crown prince has already stated in his letter to me that he has already prepared this year's war support expenses, and your task is to escort the envoy team to arrive safely, and this way has basically been cleared by our rear friendly forces, so there should be no problem. ”

Howard saw that Delia didn't take his slip of the tongue to heart, so he relaxed and continued to interject: "Ed kid doesn't have to worry about security, as far as I know, none of the people in the War Association are mediocre, let alone people from the Knight Association are in the team, and people like you and me may not be qualified to join it." ”

Glancing at the other party, Di Liya immediately let this beast-like man shut down, turned his head and continued to say to Ed: "There is really no big problem in terms of security, and the etiquette specifications for other greetings are also responsible for Andre to find a special person, as for hearing that the people from the Knight Association are looking for you, it is estimated that it is a matter of military merits, I am not worried, Ed, your merits are obvious to all, there is no falsehood, but it is better to be careful, come back as soon as the escort mission is over, I can't lack you here!"

"Hmm!"

Ed answered, ignoring the envious gaze of the knight next to him, and turned away, the fact that he was Delia's right-hand man was already recognized, and his merits were enough to bear this position, and the bond between the two was far more than the subordinate relationship between his subordinates and his superiors, and their mutual concern was much more than their positions.

Back at his quarters, Ed abandoned the others, closed the door and packed his bags to go.

The sword of Gelmo is a must-carry with you, following Ed's master through so many battles and killings, this sword has not lost a point, but has added a lot of sharpness, as soon as it is pulled out, the killing intent cold in the room is raised, and it receives the blood of the enemy every day, and its interior is slowly changing, but Ed does not know it.

After wiping the sword and putting it away, Eddard picked up another weapon that had been with him for a long time, the Rose Spear, which Eddard struggled to find in the loot warehouse after the Ovareh rescue.

One shot and one sword, during this time, Ed relied on these two to make a name for himself, combined with the otherworldly martial arts preserved in the engraving, the young man's kung fu of using the gun and sword immediately has also improved a lot.

Finally, Eddard looked at his newfound item, which could not be said to be a weapon, even though its previous owner had used it to attack Ed in a hurry.

"The Wind of the Astral Battle Banner, a rare treasure, increases the movement speed of its troops after being infused with energy, and can provide weak protection, and the flagpole is engraved with a sentence, death is like the wind, always with me. ”

The flag he had received from Larry was carried by the guards along with his body, which, according to Howard's wishes, was buried in the church in Ovare, and Eddard's loot was naturally his.

In the first few battles, he tried to use it a few times, whether it was the power of the star spirit or the spiritual energy engraved and printed by himself, he could effectively activate this treasure, the difference is that the former seems to be able to provide stronger protection ability, but the actual effect is not how to go against the sky, after all, in terms of speed alone, the cavalry blessed by the power of the star spirit is not as fast as the spiritual knight, with this it only narrows the gap, they often still rely on the advantage of numbers to determine the victory or defeat of the battlefield.

After thinking about it, Ed put down this flag, it seems that he won't need it this time, so it's better to stay, there is nothing else to clean up, let me meet the masters of the association tomorrow. (To be continued......)
