Tiger Knight Howard led the team, and how to plan to surprise and outflank the enemy's rear road will not be seen for the time being.

Since Ed's side was a rescue operation, there was no need to hide it, and the two thousand cavalry let go of their momentum and galloped happily across the wilderness.

This is the first time that Deria's star spirit power has been blessed on so many people, although the consumption is very small in the non-combat state, but it can't be squandered on war horses as unscrupulously as the psionic knights, so Andre arranged to bring thousands of spare horses, so that he can hurry at the expense of horsepower on the road.

Ed did not use his psionic energy, but used the power of Delia to improve his ability like others, and he used to roughly feel that the power of the star spirit did not seem to be as strong as the power increase brought by his own psionic energy, but this long-distance run made him notice a little different.

The last time I tested it, maybe because my psionic energy was not strong, all I had saved was a small branch, and the fire that the power of the star spirit could ignite was naturally small, but now because I already had the psionic foundation that I had exercised during this time, what Ed could provide was a large bundle of dry firewood, and it was obviously much more vigorous when burned.

According to the results of the discussion with the engraving, combined with the small progress of the research project, in Ed's understanding at this moment, the power of the star spirit is to ignite the spiritual power that everyone is born with, ordinary people have not exercised, but the talent is still there, after the stimulation of the power of the star spirit, although the quality and nature of the appearance are different from those of the psionic person, but the essence is extremely similar.

Deliya itself plays a role in it that is more similar to that of Tinder and Transit Maintainer, and its own consumption is not large, which is also an important prerequisite for the power of the Star Spirit to be applied on the battlefield.

As for Ed himself, with the power of the star spirit, the combat power is stronger than others, and he can even rely on his experience in using psionic energy to control a part of the power into the body of the mount under the crotch, just like the psionics, greatly increasing its stamina, strength and speed.

He slowly increased his speed, gradually catching up with Delia, and turned his face to look at his commander.

The girl bowed her body like an experienced old rider on her horse, and the oncoming wind blew her ungrown hair.

Ed vaguely remembered that Delia's hair was much longer than it was now, and it was cut short for this expedition, and when he didn't pay attention, this girl was changing little by little, allowing herself to adapt to this cruel world.

"I'll go ahead and scout first!" Ed opened his mouth to say his intentions to Delia loudly, and the oncoming wind whistled over, but was blocked by the young man's skillful use of the power of the protective star spirit.

Delia is not a psyker, she knows very little about these little tricks, and she was about to open her mouth to respond to Ed, but she suddenly ate a mouth full of wind, so she had to nod her head and signal that she agreed with the young man's words.

"Hehe!" Seeing that Deria's small cheeks were rounded by the naughty wind, Ed couldn't help laughing and patting away, he was also rare to see a girl who has always been gentle and demure put on such an expression, like an angry girl, funny and with some cuteness.

"This guy must be messing with Sister Dilia again, I'll have to teach him a good lesson when he comes back!" Qili thought to herself indignantly in the team, after leaving her, she was handed over by Ed to Andre's care, and his own soldiers also surrounded the little girl to protect her.

At this time, the real deacon of this team, Andre doesn't have the kung fu to break away from the team as dashing as Ed, nor can he make small calculations like Qili, he has a lot of things to do, while he has to send people who are familiar with the terrain to check the road signs on both sides to ensure that the route is correct, and on the other hand, he must continue to send people and horses to explore the surrounding situation, in case he suddenly encounters the enemy, Ed relied on his strength to explore the way forward to help him solve some troubles, but he still can't take it lightly, and the scouts who have been sent long ago still have to contact on time to obtain information.

It can be said that when an army attacks, he has to be responsible for most of the important things, and the actual leader of the troops is not as simple as it seems from the outside world, and it can be said that without Andre's help, Delia will never have the energy to be busy with other things.

In a hurry, they did not make a detour through several settlements on the mainland, but took a shortcut and drove directly to the city of Auare, ensuring that the horses could travel quickly.

It was a cloudy night, and the moonlight could only show its true face from time to time, which also brought a lot of inconvenience to the travel of the cavalry troops, and Andrei was worried that it would rain in the middle of the night, which would be a great bad news for them, and the muddy ground in the wild would trap everyone in place, let alone any rescue operation.

He sent a herald to tell Delia of his concerns, and the commander replied, "We don't have time!" and chose to take a shortcut in the wilderness rather than a better road, which would not affect the cavalry too much even during the rainy season, a move that André considered a great risk.

After midnight, the situation became a little better, the wind was much lighter, and the bright moonlight covered the earth again, and a stone fell in Delia's heart, she actually didn't know if it would rain tonight, but if she chose to take the road for this, it was likely that even if she could reach the city of Auvare safely tonight, the war had already eroded, and people could not return to the sky.

Ed didn't know that there was such a story during the march, his pathfinding work was completely smooth sailing, there was no danger, the enemy probably did not expect his actions to be seen through by Delia, and they did not dare to choose to send troops to intercept the road behind Ovalé, which might reveal their combat intentions.

It wasn't until Ed made his third expedition that he spotted a sign at an intersection that marked the boundaries of the city of Ovare.

Seeing the landmark, Ed looked around, and after making sure that the surroundings were safe, he turned back, quickly met with the large army, and told André the news, who immediately sent someone to confirm and take the first step to guard his vicinity, while telling Delia to slow down the whole army.

At this time, there was still a lot of time before dawn, and they had to rest here for a while, and the city boundary would not be set up too far, and it would only be a moment for them to reach the city at the speed of their cavalry, so they had to be cautious and probe the situation in detail before they could set out.

Delia knows the severity, even if she is anxious, she will never act recklessly, and lead the team to control the speed according to the plan, so that the ordinary soldiers under her command have a process of adapting from urgency to slowness, in this regard, they are not comparable to those psionics, and Knight Howard's team can rush directly to the target without any scruples.

For them, as long as their spiritual energy is not exhausted, the speed of the war horse does not decrease, and it is not a problem to gallop all night and immediately enter the battle, even if the enemy in front of them has already taken the city and wait for work, as long as the speed of their spiritual knight is still there, it is not a problem whether they want to fight or want to leave at that time, but it is possible to stop and rest and fall into the enemy's full set.

The cavalry slowed down their mounts and slowly passed in front of Eddard's eyes, entering the rest area that had been simply arranged near the landmark, their armor was not neat, and their weapons were not uniform, but most of them wore a thick cloak to protect against the cold night wind, and they did not look like a ragtag army.

Ed knew that he could select these two thousand loyal riders in a short period of time, and ensure that each of them was equipped with a minimum set of equipment, which was already Andrei's ability beyond ordinary people, and in his opinion, this difficulty was no less than helping Charlotte kill an ordinary psyker in Ameraburg, at least Ed himself definitely did not have such ability.

The boy rode to the improvised camp, turned over and dismounted like everyone else, handed over his companion who had galloped all night with him to the soldier in charge, patted its neck, the war horse seemed to be reluctant to leave, with the help of Ed's own manipulation of the power of the star spirit, it was not as tired as his horse, but Ed did not know how the war would develop later, he prepared for the best and the worst in his heart.

Chasing down the enemy or being chased by the opponent with Delia requires the most horsepower, so it's better to change a batch of mounts like everyone else.

The young man walked among the soldiers, many of them had experienced such a big battle for the first time, and in the past, psionics rushed to the front, and they only needed to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, but this time it was different.

Some people took out the food and water they had prepared before, and finally had a full meal, and some were excited, and they didn't eat at all, but they were also persuaded by the veterans next to them to eat more to pad their stomachs.

Some soldiers were wiping down their weapons, few of them were holding riding spears, most of them were still mainly swords, supplemented by a small number of blunt weapons, no one knew what weapon was best for ordinary people to use against the psionics, and those who dared to raise this question in the past had already been hanged by the lord.

Ed didn't know about this, Andre came to him earlier, and asked him for his opinion on how to choose the mainstream weapons in the army, but he was stumped, generally speaking, the sword is the most choice, with a wide range of applicability, and the most on the market, but Delia's star spirit power will change the blade damage to blunt damage when it is real, so it seems that the warhammer will be more effective, and the final result will not be resolved, too many problems need to be tested in actual combat, and the preparation work seems to be always insufficient.

Along the way, few people noticed Ed and saluted him, and more people focused on their own affairs, going all out to make the most comprehensive preparations they thought were the best, they didn't follow Delia to the battlefield as soon as their heads were hot, but asked their true intentions many times in their hearts, and finally became a member of the Holy Women's Army after screening.

Ed's keen ears heard many soldiers kneeling down to pray, to their companions, Delia, or the gods in her mouth, at least spiritually, every soldier present was not alone.

Ed continued to walk, the night becoming dull and dark, the strange figure swaying in the wind with a few fires around him seemed unreal, only the solid dirt beneath his feet reminded the crossing boy that he was in the middle of a group of soldiers, not a bizarre dream.

Passing through an invisible wall of the main characters' own soldiers, Ed was able to see his companion in a high position without hindrance.

Di Liya didn't know if she knew about Qili's existence from Andre, and she was reprimanding the little girl loudly with a rare straight face, but there was a strong sense of concern in a series of scolding words.

Ed saw Qili who put on a bitter face and was honestly trained, and knew in his heart that the expression on her face was mostly pretending, and sure enough, Delia ate this trick, and she almost vented her anger after a lesson, and gradually eased her expression, and helplessly let go of Qili.

Ignoring the little girl's "plan succeeded" expression secretly made to him in the dark, Ed told Delia what he wanted.

"Well, judging from the signs, we should have arrived before the enemy's action, and there is no chaos in Ovalé City, Ed, I can rest assured that you will go to investigate at this time, but you must pay attention to safety, and don't startle the enemy if you find it. ”

"Okay, and I'm going to borrow one of your own soldiers from you?" said Eddard, who was not only going to take a brief look at it, but also had other plans.

Delia didn't ask too much, and motioned for Ed to act cheaply, just as the boy had never suspected that the enemy would definitely appear tonight, and the trust between them was extremely deep.

Qili saw that Ed had a mission, and she was unwilling to stay in a safe area, making a fuss about going together.

The boy hurriedly set off, leaving Delia alone to deal with the restless fellow, he found Max who was on guard with his companions nearby, and with Deria's permission, the unknown personal soldiers had to follow Ed and set off to investigate.

Ed and Max changed into new horses and met André at the edge of the camp, and the young knight told them about his plan and set out on his way.

"I remember you once said that your father was in Ovareh City, right?" Ed raised his energy, and cooperated with the several magic spells that Delia had cast on him before parting, such as the Spiritual Fire and the Divine Radiance, etc., and paid attention to the wind and grass in the distance while slowly accelerating immediately.

Max was wearing ill-fitting armor and a standard cloak on the outside, and he followed Ed with his well-bodied war horse, learning the appearance of a knight, and nervously looking around at the enemy who did not exist at all.

"Well, yes, my father has been working in the city defense of Ovare, in charge of the defense of the city gates, and a few months ago he heard that the enemy might attack Auware, so he put me with my uncle, and told me to follow him to avoid the limelight, who knew that he ran into those damn guys and gave my uncle ......"

Max said, lowering his voice, Ed silently looked far away in front, he remembered that most of these pro-soldiers were saved by himself and Delia, what happened behind the other party, was it the Ingir who killed his relatives and handed him over to the mercenaries who transported the slaves?Or was it a group of slave hunters who attacked them, and the enemy who killed his uncle was later absorbed into his own team, and now he is in the two thousand cavalry?

Max had his own story, he didn't continue, Ed didn't ask, and now in front of them, the behemoth looming in the dark night was the target of this trip, Ovalé City.
