Chapter 207: Belonging 2
On the other hand, the news of the poisoning of the Ingills in their food did not need to be kept secret after the great victory of the Ingills, and the Roland warriors who learned the news all scolded the Ingill seals for being despicable and shameless, but fortunately, the situation that the Holy Maiden was able to purify this poison through the blessing ceremony was also released, making people look forward to the daily sacrament even more, and the order was not chaotic.
Ed still has a lot to do in the army, go to the soldiers' camps to comfort and reward them, maintain morale, visit the wounded soldiers camps and patrol the prisoner camps, the Ingier knights who were brought by him earlier now have a large number of companions, hoping that their performance in keeping to themselves can lead the way among the captives, so Ed also promoted these people as representatives to assist in his communication and management.
There seem to be a few noble-born knights among the captured knights, who were invited by the royal family to watch the ceremony together after taking the initiative to confess their identities, after all, even if these nobles are at war with each other, they still have some kinship in the final analysis, and they are fighting today and maybe they will marry tomorrow out of political needs, in Ed's eyes, they are a group of capricious and unprincipled villains.
In the afternoon, a few of the knights who had been at the banquet returned, and when they met Ed in the dining room, they told him what had happened before.
"Hey, great hero, do you know what heroes our new king mentioned in his speech?" Margarita spewed wine mixed with the peculiar fragrance of women, very unique among this group of soldiers, she was faintly at the heart of the crowd, such a beautiful and powerful female knight was very popular in the army, many young knights were fascinated by it, and clustered around like green leaves around flowers.
Ed nodded indifferently. Continue to wipe down their equipment, most importantly two weapons. He didn't like to wear hard armor, believing it would hinder his movements. Ever since the ordinary Star Crystal Battle Armor given to him by the Crown Prince was broken, he had replaced it with his own ordinary leather armor.
The female knight, who didn't get an eager response, didn't care, she also ignored the noisy young male comrades around her, but she was very interested in Ed, so she continued: "Three people have been mentioned......!
She paused deliberately and swept her eyes over the knights around her, so they shouted in unison, "Of course our invincible commander, Lord Deria, oh!
There is never a shortage of good wine around the knights. As if wanting to show their pride in front of this alcoholic beauty, most of them wiped out the glass in their hands.
Hearing this expected words, Ed was also proud of his companion, raised the wine glass next to him in greeting, and also raised his head to drink a large glass, and put down the empty glass in the loud cheers of the onlookers.
Margaret also happily picked up the delicate flask and took a sip, and continued: "The second is Richard, a knight who was known for his prestige before, and this time he was credited for protecting the crown prince. A few years ago, it was said that he had reached the peak strength of the silver level, and then the retreat began to hit the gold level, and this appearance felt extraordinary, I don't know if it has been successful!"
Speaking of this. The knights here seemed to be familiar with each other, and there was not much criticism of him for such a high level of merit without playing, and Ed listened to them gossip about what they had heard. This Richard's deeds seem to be compared to those of ancient heroes, slaying evil monsters. He tracked down criminal bands and even led troops to help small nearby countries suppress several civil unrest. There was also a romantic scandal with a neighboring princess.
There are so many rumors, and I don't know how many of them are true or false, but what Ed is most concerned about is his strength, is it one of the few gold-level people in Howard's mouth?
With the development of the transcendent psionic group, the boy's current main combat power has become psionic energy again, strictly speaking, he has not broken through the bronze level, but he can beat the silver-level Chesterton to a serious injury and coma, before little Elinor also gave him a breakthrough method, but the level is not high, Ed is a little unsightly, not to mention that he has some new ideas recently.
Everyone was hotly discussing Richard's majestic past anecdotes, and Margaret changed the topic back, "Third, Ed, you must not have guessed." The others also stopped their own conversation, and looked at Ed's eyes full of strangeness.
It stands to reason that Ed's role in this battle is not much lower than that of Delia, and it is much stronger than that of Richard, who has just been born, but looking at this situation, the young man knows that it must not be himself, so who else will it be?
Margaret whetted Ed's appetite before she said slowly, "It's your good brother Max from before!
After listening to her explanation, it dawned on Ed that the Ingills did have eyeliner in the Roland army, and according to Scott, they were not in Reims Town, but among the personnel who guarded the key roads in the rear of Max's town, his little brother was aware of this after the Roland Knight was ambushed, and found out this traitor through stratagem, and made a great contribution by releasing false news to induce the enemy to miss the opportunity to volley when he sent someone to pick up the crown prince and his party.
No wonder! I was still wondering why Ingill's commander Cole didn't use the first plan that Scott had made for him to capture the crown prince directly, and instead relied on a backup poison plan to fight a decisive battle, it turned out that their attempt was sabotaged by Max.
In this way, it is well deserved to put the third merit on his head, and Ed raised his full glass for the second time, "For the sake of our brother Max, thank you for his wit for thwarting the enemy's plot and giving us the opportunity to defeat the opponent head-on, to him!"
Everyone responded and drank together, but Margaret asked Ed: "Although these three are worthy of our respect, but Ed, you have more outstanding records than them, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have forgotten about you, aren't you angry at all, Ed?"
Putting down the wine glass and wiping the foam from the corners of his mouth, Ed smiled when he heard this, he really didn't care what the crown prince thought, on the one hand, he did this because he was willing to do it, and on the other hand, it was just for Delia, "Maybe he hid in the cellar and didn't see it! We can't ask this person to become our commander after coming out of Hill Castle and sit on the front line!"
Ed's joke was approved by most people, and a burst of laughter erupted, as it was known that not long after the start of the war, this timid highness abandoned the country and hid in the military fortress of Hill, and all the news from the outside world depended on others to tell him, and it was normal to hide during the war.
