Chapter 164: A Wave of Unsettled 7
"Did you hear that? Our commander has won another victory on the front line, killing and capturing countless Ingier knights!" a group of displaced civilians snuggled up to each other for warmth in a low shack, chatting at the same time.
"Another great victory! I don't think it won't be long before we can think about packing up and going back home!"
"yes! Go back...... I don't know how many people are left in my hometown!" his voice was low, apparently unconfident in the answer to the question.
The person next to him patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him a few words, and the conversation continued back to the recent hot topic.
"I will definitely find a way to join the army under the command of Delia this time, I missed the last recruitment of soldiers, I hope there is still a chance this time!" said a young man who wrapped his clothes tightly in the cold autumn wind.
"It's just you, let's not talk about whether people want you or not, with your small body, can you resist the enemy's sword on the battlefield?
The teasing words caused the surrounding people to think of vulgar laughter, and the lean young man was annoyed for a while and forced himself to defend himself: "Haven't you heard that the casualty rate of the soldiers under Commander Di Liya is extremely low this time? Maybe we will have to make some groceries such as cleaning the battlefield, and it will not be our turn to go to the battlefield to fight those knights!"
His words were immediately refuted by a few recent joiners, "You are wrong, our brother has just returned from the front, and I have heard some definite news in the army, our commander can win the victory against the Ingier knights by relying on ordinary people like all of you here, with few casualties, that is the Holy Maiden, she is a benevolent and loving soldier." During the war, he spent divine power to bless everyone with the talisman technique, and after the war, he insisted on performing the healing magic for the wounded soldiers even after he was injured!"
Several people call themselves saints. In the crowd, the deeds of Delia are widely promoted, and in the process, it is inevitable that they will be extremely beautified. Everyone who listened was yearning.
In the ruined land of Roland, there are many scenes like this one happening at the same time, the influence of Delia is spreading rapidly with the news of the victory of the Holy Women's Army, the people of Roland are traumatized by the war, and they urgently need to hear such a beautiful story to comfort their hearts at this time, the communicators can easily become the focus of attention of the crowd, and the listeners are also further improving the image of Delia in their own imagination, all of which is happening quietly.
Roland's high-level leaders naturally cheered when they heard the news of the victory ahead. The first thing Prince Charles does when he wakes up every morning is to glance at the topographical map placed in front of his bed to see if the logo of his army has been updated and whether he is one step closer to the Holy Land.
The Inghirs would not sit still, and the lords who had previously proposed the strategy of flanking and backing were sent to prison, and they urgently transferred back to the knightly forces that were preparing to attack Roland's back by boat, and re-threw them into the frontal battlefield in an effort to contain the momentum of the advance of Deria's forces.
On the other hand, the magical commander of Deria's own intelligence has been valued by the high-level, and even attracted the attention of the church, and a net against her is being weaved and formed.
And Delia took advantage of the vacuum period of annihilating the enemy's main frontal force to speed up her actions and greatly advanced the battle line a lot. Then they slowly slowed down, and as they regained half of the lost ground on the front, the resistance they encountered grew fiercer, and the goal that Delia had promised the crown prince was not far ahead. It's just half there.
"What the hell weather!" said Ed, striding into the castle, letting the cavalry captain behind him grumble loudly, and took off his completely drenched cloak.
Thick and powerful hands twisted casually. Countless rains were squeezed out, and the autumn rains that were getting worse these days were combined with the frequent revolts of the enemy. greatly hindered the pace of their advancement.
"Don't complain, get out of your wet suit. Find yourself a fire to roast, but don't get sick, the next battle will be a new test for you!" Ed whispered, leaving his hapless men and walking inside alone.
According to the experience of the locals, this autumn rain is coming to an end after a few days, after which no matter how strong the enemy's resistance is, they will start a new onslaught.
Ed himself has the dual power of psionic energy and star spirit power, but he was not wet at all, he went directly to the main castle, and after being reported by Di Liya's personal guards, he went in to meet his companion Di Lia.
The girl stood on the second floor and silently watched the countless soldiers below enter and leave in waves, silently praying to the tall crystal statue that resembled herself, they were all about to set off to the battle zone to fight the enemy, and obtain the protection of the star spirit power in the crystal before leaving.
Ed approached Delia's side and watched the scene with her, just like Malonen had said, it was not easy to find such a large piece of crystal, and he had not yet figured out a good way to fuse the crystal, so as the army advanced, the colossus moved with it, although it was difficult to transport.
The power in the crystal statue can be felt clearly by Ed from a long distance, it is so majestic, but he also knows that this powerful power corresponds to a side effect that is extremely difficult to get rid of, the black water around his soul has not completely subsided so far, it is still bothering him, and it will be mixed with strange things in his short sleep, but it is much better than the illusions that occasionally appeared in the daytime in the first few days.
Correspondingly, while using his soul to wipe out these external emotions, Ed's self is also slowly growing, but compared to Di Liya's powerful and incredible soul, there is still a huge, very big gap.
After a moment of silence, Deria waved her hand and motioned for Ed to come with her, leaving the building filled with the sound of divine prayers, and the vigilance around her had dropped considerably, but it was still extremely high.
Ed looked at the girl walking in front of him without saying a word, it seemed that he hadn't seen the other party for a while and became deeper, the experience of these months was indeed very growth-making, but was it worth it, Ed thought so, the companion in his memory gave him a somewhat strange feeling.
"Deria, this sortie went well, the target fortress has been taken, and the knights garrisoned by the Ingirs have retreated in advance, so there are no casualties. ”
Eddard reported that now the wind banner he took from Larry that could provide acceleration has become his unique symbol, and the Ingirs who fought him regard it as a symbol of death, and their own few people can avoid it, unless they really can't escape, and they will quickly surrender after a short fight, and after the last bloody battle, Gelmer has not been able to taste the flesh and soul of knights for a long time.
