Chapter 100: Aftermath 7
In the next three days, Eddard's troops made four more sorties, capturing many enemy strongholds, and with Delia and Howard, they had basically wiped out all the enemies in the Ovareh theater before the Ingers had time to react.
On the front line, about 500 knights arranged by the Ingirs were killed, fled, and a small half were captured, and in the later period, Delia herself had to stay in the camp with Howard and other knights, and specially watched over these knights, and could not fight in person.
With his troops blessed with the power of the star spirit and his battlefield command skills after absorbing the tactics of another world, Ed can be said to have shown his strength and gained many enemy lives, and at the same time, the name of the bloody knight Edd is also spreading.
Now in the vicinity, even the most daring knights of Ingill shudder at the name of the boy, and even more ordinary enemy soldiers are even more oblivious, and a small group of cavalry under the banner of Ed can take a small stronghold in the next place without blood.
Whenever the Roland Knight comes back to report on his military exploits, he inadvertently sees Ed's kill count, and he will definitely have a nightmare when he goes back.
One of his friends even came to Ed and said, "Stop, there are too many psionics who have died in your hands, and lo and behold, even the knights in our team will never laugh when they see you, what can you get by doing this?"
"Is there a reason to kill and wound the enemy on the battlefield, even if it's for Roland, I'm not wrong to do it!" Ed said puzzled.
"Ha, don't be naΓ―ve. Do you know why the knights are reluctant to fight for Prince Charles, not only because of his cowardice, but of course this itself is the main reason. On the other hand, he has a reputation for being stingy, and it is impossible for him to win the position of a prince by virtue of his military exploits on this battlefield!" said Tennison.
Next to him was his brother Stanley, "Whether it's for this or not, Eddard has already forged enough glory with the blood of the enemy on the battlefield, and if you kill it again, it will not be honor but a name for killing, and you will lose the hearts and minds of the knights." Without the support of psykers, you won't be able to go far either way. β
Although I don't agree too much with it in my heart, I feel that the road I want to take is all on Di Liya alone. It has nothing to do with the old knight class, but Ed still puts on an attitude of being humble and teachable, and sends away two friends who care about him.
In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether he kills or not, since he has the heart to let go of the path of spiritual energy. He doesn't rely too much on the psionic regiments he obtains from killing. Besides, it was still very difficult for him to absorb and use the transcendent psionic regiment obtained by killing the knight, but in order to spend less effort when the enemy resisted, he didn't care whether he was caught alive or dead, and as for the ransom or something, he never considered it.
Delia is now fighting with the royal family's funds, and there are no logistical problems for a while, and it is still a question whether the ransom money exchanged by those knights can stay, and it is said that it is likely to be completely attributed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Although the battle during this period was not long, Eddard had a lot of experience in using the power of the star spirit. There was a foundation for spiritual energy cultivation, and he didn't have any difficulty using this kind of similar energy at all. And he seems to be feeling a little different lately.
Although the time of Deliya's blessing also slowly becomes longer with the improvement of proficiency, there are always some gaps, at this time, Ed's physical energy should only be his own spiritual energy that has not been intensified by rituals, but recently he seems to have found that even if he did not accept the blessing of his companions, there is still such an energy in his body that is different from traditional spiritual energy, and it is vaguely the feeling of the power of the star spirit.
This feeling is plausible, not so profound, due to the frequent fighting, Ed does not have time to calm down and savor it, and I don't know if others will do the same, or it may be something else, such as the power of the star spirit that the engraving intercepted for study, or the mysterious light that fell from the sky after fighting Larry that day.
On the other hand, after taking turns to dispatch, the Holy Women's Army in the name of Delia also gradually grew in the expedition team, absorbing many aspiring soldiers to enter, and gradually with the spread among the families of the soldiers, the tentacles infiltrated into the city of Ovare.
Because Delia herself suddenly led the army to appear at night to repel the enemy's sneak attack and seize the city, miraculously saved the entire city, and there was no harsh governance in the subsequent rule, but with the help of people with a heart, the original city defender took on a lot of infamy, and Delia was gradually raised to a very high position by all the people of Ovare.
Perhaps in the eyes of those knightly lords with military literacy, Deria's victory was nothing more than a gambling speculation, but it has to be admitted that her victory, it will naturally get countless reputations, not to mention the fact that her troops miraculously took down the nearby enemy.
Even if I don't know how the terrifying Ed Knight did it, no one will stand up and question it at this time, the knight who knows some inside information is a member of the Victory Legion himself, and Deria's actions are also bringing them countless praises and honors.
In the mansion of the Supreme Knight of the city of OvalΓ©, several figures of great status are gathering to discuss.
"Did you find out what the new commander did?"
"It's not clear yet, it's just that she has a powerful magic spell, and the soldiers blessed by it can greatly improve their protection ability, and they can also drag down our psionic knights by virtue of their numerical superiority. β
"Are you sure that the soldiers themselves are not capable?"
"Well, I have already experimented with many people in private, and after the warrior who can still use magical abilities on the battlefield is secretly caught by us, he has been tortured until death without showing any abnormality, and he is just an ordinary pariah. β
"Oh, I see. β
"What about the latest cult?"
"You mean the self-proclaimed Saints' Army? The speaker scoffed.
"Just make sure to leave that woman, these people are ordinary people, there is nothing to fear, and whoever dares to riot and kill them all when the time comes. β
"Well, there's only one tricky guy left, the knight named Eddard. β
"Well, the new guy who came out is very popular, after all, he is also a member of our knights, and it is not easy to say in the Continental Knight Association if he deals with it blatantly. β
"Well, I've heard that he's also attracted the attention of the council, and the upper authorities may send someone down to inspect it recently. β
"Really, the north side has been relaxed lately, and how can they bother with such a trivial matter?"
The answerer smiled bitterly, "It's just that it's sad over there, so even this kind of kid will be taken seriously, maybe a few years will be a good life." β
"It's okay, even if the north can't hold on, there are still a few big countries on top, I don't know when it will hit us, don't worry, just do it as planned." β
"Hmm!" (to be continued......)
