Chapter 169: Wave After Wave 2

Although everyone felt bad, they could not delay their side of the business because they could not find an enemy, and the three-month period that Delia had promised the crown prince would not be forgiven by this, and after Lance checked it again, the commander finally took up his pen and began to write a letter, reporting to the crown prince in the rear that she had taken the Holy Land, and waiting for Charles to come and complete the coronation in person, and her promise was fulfilled.

Sealed with special seals, Delia asked Howard for his best knights to deliver the very important document.

Outside the town entrance, he watched the two Tennison brothers and several of his entourage ride away with the letters, but Ed couldn't believe that things would go so well.

"Will the crown prince come?" he asked, turning to Delia beside him.

"I don't know, in the letter I have already told him about the strange actions of the enemy, and maybe he will choose to wait a little longer if he can't be sure of his own safety, but decades of anticipation can sometimes lead a man to do crazy things. Deria's answer was ambiguous.

"The Inghirs might use this place as bait to find a way to intercept our crown prince halfway?" Ed was not stupid, and guessed a possibility from the other party's words.

"Tighten your guard along the way!" said Delia, turning and walking backwards.

"Let Charles be killed by the Ingirs halfway?" Ed pondered the possibility, as it was well known that their crown prince was eager to become the true king, so that the Emperor Ingier on the opposite island would have to give up this claim even if he had the legitimate inheritance to the throne of Roland, and the excuse for aggression was gone.

Charles, who had always been timid as a mouse, abandoned the bustling capital shortly after the war, and has been cowering in his strongest fortress. So that even if the Ingier knight had the advantage, he had no chance to capture him in one fell swoop, so he could only attack the defense line step by step. Caught in a war of attrition.

At the moment, it seems that they have an important weight in their hands, and the holy place where the king was crowned was taken back by Roland's side. But it also gave the other party the possibility of intercepting the crown prince halfway, so it seems that everything is explained.

"Maybe it's not bad if things go this way!" said the young man, turning and walking towards his tent, his steps becoming brisk for the first time.

Not only did the fog in front of him lift, but another reason why Ed was happy was that he didn't like the timid and short-sighted crown prince, and he believed that without that person's constraints, maybe it would be a good thing for Delia and himself who was in charge of the army!

The strange calm lasted until three days later, and there was no news about the crown prince's movements, but another bad news was placed in front of Di Liya and the others.

Traces of the enemy appeared on the supply lines that kept the army in the rear, and they hijacked a shipment of grain and grass delivered to the front. Although the losses were not large, there was no doubt that Roland's army had already been taken by the enemy.

An army of 30,000 is certainly the biggest bargaining chip that Delia uses to fight against the power of the Ingier Knights, but it is also her biggest weakness, unlike the limited number of psionic knights, even if the amount of food is large, a psionic knight can only consume two or three servings at most, and there is no big problem with logistics at all.

On his side, it was different, the daily consumption of 30,000 people was Andre's biggest concern, so he just heard the news that there was a change in the logistics line. He ran to the people with a pale face, and he wanted to ask Ed to take people along the way to protect him at once.

"The reserves that the army carries with them are enough for fifteen days, which should be quite sufficient in itself, but we don't know how long we will stay here at the moment. If the logistics cannot be guaranteed, then they will have to retreat. Andre slapped his hands in front of him, originally the town of Reims would have been able to provide a batch of enough food to support if it was still intact, but the practical inventory that could be scavenged after being abandoned for so long was basically nothing.

Delia rubbed her forehead. "The Crown Prince would not want to see the Holy Land he had just captured lost again, and only if the enemy did not attack. ”

"The Ingers have cleverly cornered us!" Howard sneered. "Master Deria, let me take someone back and catch those rats. It is a humble trick to rob the soldiers of our army who are escorting grain and grass!"

In this era, the knights rarely fought each other's logistics ideas, and each other attacked on a small scale, coming and going like the wind, so Howard couldn't accept the novel military action of the Ingier Knights, even if it was not completely against the spirit of chivalry, it was definitely not an act of honor!

Ed was very receptive to the other party's actions, but he wanted to praise it, "Insight into our internal action goals, generously let Lance trap us, and break through the original thinking limits, thinking of starting with our food and grass, the Ingier commander who will face this time seems to be very different from the previous ones, and he is no longer a guy who only knows how to rush forward!"

Ed's words undoubtedly caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but when you think about it carefully, it is true that every move of your side seems to be expected by the enemy, and the Ingirs did not spend the slightest effort before the situation fell to their side.

Di Liya's face was also very solemn, she thought for a while, and said: "Your Excellency Howard, take all the psionic knights and leave them behind, go to patrol along the supply line, remember not to scatter the manpower, just protect the grain and grass, don't chase without authorization when you encounter a small group of enemies, and it doesn't matter if you even sacrifice the grain and grass if necessary, there must be no less!"

After a few words of advice, it can be seen that Delia is worried that Howard will fall into the trap of the enemy again.

"Yes!" Howard didn't think much of it, just glad that their knights were finally useful again.

Attracting the crown prince with the holy land, and attracting the knights on his side with grain and grass, Ed believes that the other party's goal must be his own living force, but he can't take the plan and follow behind Howard to eat the enemy, on the one hand, because his total cavalry is too large to hide the tracks, on the other hand, the enemy's movements are unknown, in case he takes advantage of the emptiness of the defense and directly attacks Delia who is sitting here, then he Ed is smart and mistaken by cleverness.

After thinking about it, Ed explained it to Delia, got up and left to catch up with Howard, who was getting dressed outside, and said his thoughts in one go.

Although the veteran is eager to perform in front of Delia, he still has decades of experience in wars, and after listening to Ed's analysis, he has his own considerations in his heart, and thanks Ed, promising that he will be cautious and act carefully.

With the middle-aged lieutenant behind him, Ed was not too worried about the veteran's safety, but if the enemy did ambush, it was difficult to say whether all his knights would return safely.

This time, Ed and the others finally met a powerful enemy commander, and the fighting spirit of the two sides began, and it is still unknown who will die. (To be continued......)
