Chapter 60: Night Battle 2

"This, I'm afraid it's not very good, my Tiger Knight is not worried about taking those boys to directly bypass the enemy to raid the opponent's starting point, but Your Excellency, you really don't need to take risks yourself, just take a knight with you to rescue Ovalé, I'm sorry, I'm not questioning Ed's ability, but ......"

Howard spread his hands in embarrassment, and nodded apologetically to Ed next to him while trying to dissuade Delia at the end, although he had already stated in public that he would no longer have any objections to Delia's command, but this plan to split up was too risky and too anxious.

The knights on his side are only more than fifty when they are full, and the remaining fighters in Ovareh City are only in their early teens, and most of them are mainly the most basic bronze-level young psionics, and according to the previous information, there are as many as five hundred knights on the opposite side of the Ingirs who have gathered in this frontline position alone.

Even if half of them were involved in this attack, it would not be something that Eddard could do with a young knight, and the enemy would have no mercy in tearing this promising young man to pieces and crushing him under his feet.

Ed waved his hand and took a step back, signaling that Howard's questioning was okay.

But there was no time for Deria to discuss it with the stubborn fellow, as she said before, this was the final decision.

"That's the plan, by the way, Knight Ed will give you some magician-made gadgets in our team in a while, I hope it can help you in this operation, now, please forgive me for retiring, the 200,000 civilians in Ovare City are still waiting for reinforcements to arrive!"

As she spoke, the young commander picked up the shepherd's cane, stood up neatly and strode out of the house, where the prepared guards were waiting with light armor and equipment, and Ed saw Max, whom he met on the road, standing respectfully in the doorway with a helmet decorated with white flying wings.

Ed frowned, the commander's dress was designed by someone else, so gorgeous and dazzling, although it was easy for his own soldiers to identify on the battlefield, but at the same time it would be the enemy's best target, especially in night battles, wearing such a delicate and dazzling helmet, I don't know how many knights would greet the weapons in their hands.

But before he could object, Delia had already quickly taken over her equipment, and she also frowned and glanced at it, but she didn't say anything, and she wore it all the way, without a moment's delay, leaving the two knights, Ed and Howard, behind.

"Ahem, Knight Eddard, what do you think His Excellency the Commander is going to do, taking one of you to save the city, isn't it child's play, in this case, what else does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want our knights to do. Howard looked at the young man, and was about to ask him to persuade Delia, but as he spoke, he involuntarily broke out in anger and glared at Ed, as if he had caused these mistakes.

The boy raised an eyebrow and decided not to bother with the Silver Knight, perhaps he would be furious in his position.

"It's not just the two of us, but also a lot of soldiers who will go with them, all of whom are selected elites. ”

Howard was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened by three points, ", those guys are full, it's good to expect them to delay the enemy's attack for a while, don't fool me, Commander Delia must have other plans, right?"

Ed quickly took out a cloth bag from behind him, which contained a sample of gunpowder that the leader of the magicians, Mr. Gray, had made for him, and it was said that it was made by the magic apprentices, and it was only recently accepted as a homework.

Ed never found a chance to realize its power, which would be used to test the enemy, he kept a few for himself, this thing is not left behind, a single one is about the size of a child's head, heavy, there are dozens of them in the bag, all of which he gave to Howard.

The silver knight looked at the pile of things in his hand with a tiger face, and instead of answering his own questions head-on, the other party stuffed these things into himself, he trembled his arms, and almost picked up the cloth bag and smashed it at Ed.

"Be careful, according to Commander Di Liya's plan, if you take the enemy's bridgehead by surprise, you will immediately set fire to destroy it, this thing will be thrown directly into the fire point when the time comes, stay away, it should explode, I guess it can quickly increase the fire, when the time comes, you quickly cut off the enemy's rear road, and it is better to turn back and rescue us as soon as possible, do you say!"

Ed told Howard what Mr. Gray said about how to use it, and when the task was completed, he slipped towards the door, and he wanted to meet Delia as much as he could, in case the girl couldn't wait, maybe he would go first.

"Yes, you guess?" Howard looked down at the black ball in his hand, and when he looked up, he couldn't find the young knight.

"This kid, where did this kind of test come out, we psionic knights don't need to rely on this external force, but what he said is right, it's right to quickly take down the target and return to help, come on, go and see if those rabbit cubs at the entrance of the town are assembled, we have to set off in front of the commander, and kill the damned Ingier as soon as possible so that people won't be laughed at." ”

Howard handed the bag to his deputy, and he would find someone to distribute it while he rushed to the assembly point.

After several tosses, although there were many words, it did not take long, and many preparations had already been carried out at the same time, and after discussing with Ed, Andre and Ed went to the camp to select the knights for the expedition according to the results of the usual training and the secret screening of the Holy Maidens.

A total of 2,000 cavalry left the camp and came to the entrance of the town, separated from dozens of real psychic knights, who were standing across the road from each other, who were discussing the last of the tensions before the expedition with their companions.

From the outside, the equipment used by the cavalry composed of ordinary people is not much inferior to that of the psionics, steel armor, cavalry spears, iron swords, plus the configuration of one person and two horses, but the few dozens of psionic knights don't even look at this side, and completely treat it as air.

You must know that the armor and weapons look the same, the knights use the star essence, and the most important thing is that one side has psionic energy and the other side is just ordinary people, at this time, the two charge each other at once, and the custody is the victory of these more than fifty knights, and there are probably no casualties at all when they destroy the other party.

The cavalry also knew this, and they quietly waited for the arrival of their commander, everyone believed that as long as Delia came, the situation would be different, and they would have the ability to challenge the group of unstoppable psionics next to them by the side of the Holy Maiden.

The selection of this team is not entirely based on physique, and there are even some thinner ones, as long as they meet the most basic conditions, coupled with strict discipline training, and most importantly, believe in and support Deliya's ideas from the bottom of their hearts, and are willing to fight for it, any ordinary soldier may become one of them, which is at least much easier than becoming a psionic.

André was also in the middle of it as a deacon, and tonight would be the time to put his results to the test, as both Delia and Eddard had advised him to stay here and go to war, and they might not be able to distract themselves from taking care of their companions.

But he insisted on refusing, how could he not witness the moment the fruit of his great effort rived, and besides, he was not completely powerless to protect himself, he turned his gaze to the heavily armed knight who followed him.

If Yiqiē really did what the three of them expected, this night would leave a heavy mark in the history of the continent, and the power of the star spirit officially bloomed on a large-scale battlefield for the first time, opening a new chapter for this era.

Delia was dressed and soon arrived on a horse with pure white fur, and fifty guards who dared to serve at any time surrounded the girl like a moon and stars.

Ed then arrived, looking at the girl in front of her, even the deepest night could not stop the dazzling pure white reflected from the other party's body, she did not wear any weapons, but held a battle flag, on which depicted the holy emblem of her belief in the gods, tonight, she and two thousand ordinary cavalry are the sword in her hand, and the strongest shield that lies before her and the enemy, no one can pass through the battle line formed by them to hurt the girl in the slightest.

"Ed, you bad guy, you don't bring me with you for such a fun thing, if I hadn't found out the excitement outside, I would have almost missed it!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind the young man, which startled him, and he hurriedly looked back, only to see that Qili had somehow got a regular cavalry costume, wearing light armor, and mixed in behind her.

"Why are you here? Andre helped you sneak in? This is not a positional battle, you can't play well with a bow and arrow, in case you are approached by enemy knights, everyone can't protect you, so let's go back!"

Seeing that it was not time to leave for the time being, Ed turned around and whispered to Qili.

"Hehe, you really didn't notice, I was mixed in with your own soldiers just now, and I came with you, Ed, you can't do this, it would be bad if you were disguised by the enemy, let me protect you here, I won't charge, I'll follow you, okay?" Qili put on a pleading expression, which was really unbearable to refuse.

The young knight looked at her pursed lips, wondering if he had gotten some kind of lipstick from the druid girls, shiny and reflecting the alluring moonlight.

Not long ago, I was lucky enough to taste it, but I can't remember what it tastes like now. Ed shook his head and suppressed thoughts he shouldn't have thought about.

"Does Delia know you're here? she's the commander, I won't dare to accept you without her consent, so I'd better go back!" Ed knew that he had never had the upper hand over the little girl, so he had no choice but to move out of Delia's sister, whom Qili respected and loved the most, to suppress her.

"Hmph, besides, sister, she doesn't send someone to inform me, I'll live next door to her! Really, anyway, if Ed pushes me away, I'll follow behind alone, and if something happens at that time, it's up to you to explain to your commander!" The little girl lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of attracting the attention of Delia at the front of the team, and fought for power for herself without giving in.

Ed really didn't expect that Qili would be able to use his own trump card to fight against the army, and it was really his nemesis, so he had nothing to say, only repeatedly told Qili to follow him.

Moments later, the preparations for the departure of the two armies were almost simultaneously completed, and thanks to Andrei's great effort, the cavalry of 2,000 men was no slower than the opposing knights.

At the head of the team of psionic knights is Howard, a silver knight in full armor, this time he has changed back to his beloved horse, and the height is almost not inferior to that of the knight himself, if he sits on it and charges with a gun and sword, it is simply a war beast capable of destroying the world.

The Tiger Knight lifted his mask, and finally asked his deputy to count it, and after confirming that the personnel were in order, he didn't talk nonsense, listed his spear, and shouted at Commander Delia:

"For glory!"

The psionic knights around them, who were already boiling with blood and ready to go, also raised their spears in unison, and shouted the slogan of knights from ancient times to their respected commander:

"For glory!"

Immediately, more than fifty armored horsemen were equipped, and the psionic people who were armed to the extreme simultaneously stimulated the psionic power in their bodies, wrapped the mounts under their crotches, and marched in the direction of the enemy with incomparable momentum.

Ed rode sideways behind Deria, he couldn't see the girl's expression, but he knew that his eyes must have been wide and his mouth was wide open.

It was the first time he had seen the strongest king of war on this continent, the psionic knights marching together in a battle group, the psionic flames that were connected together reflected each other, rising and lighting up the night sky of one side, even if it was not to go all out and charge at the enemy, the momentum of this low-intensity march alone was enough to make ordinary people's legs weak and lose their fighting spirit.

Andre on the side held the war horse with his hand, so that he would not fall and make a fool of himself in public, and he saw it again! This gorgeous scene seemed to return to his days as a knight's squire in Ovare, and every time he saw the psionic knights lining up in a formation to release the flame of psionic energy, he would make himself very excited.

But now, he was destined to go farther and farther away from his childhood dream, he turned his head and glanced at Ed, who was a little stammering, but this guy was different from himself, and a dark thought appeared in his heart, which was immediately dispelled.

Just as everyone was shocked by the majestic travel scene of the psionic knights, Delia, who was at the forefront, moved.

No one could see the resolute and resolute expression on the girl's face at this time, she just raised her hand and raised the battle flag in her hand high, and from her body also spread a milky white light comparable to the spiritual flame, only more heartwarming.

"Let's go!"

She didn't say much, at this time she felt that she didn't need to say more about her ideals, those who had already been in the barracks had been supported by everyone behind them, and now they just needed to do it, and the first step to realize their ideals was taken from here.

Ed was the first to come to his senses, drove his horse, and followed in Deria's footsteps.

The light from the girl's body seemed to be magical, and as Delia ran through it, Ed followed her to where she had been, and the light seemed to be stuck in the space, spreading from the girl to the young knight, illuminating the small area as well.

Behind Ed were Deria's most loyal guards, who also walked from the place where the two men had passed, as if carved out of a mold, and the light spread from the previous to the newcomer.

One by one, the figures drove by, the river flowed endlessly, what remained unchanged was that this small piece of Dilia once stopped was forever illuminated by the mysterious light, and the power of the star spirit spread from one person to another, and everyone repeated the steps taken by the commander, following the footsteps of the saint to share the mood of setting off for the ideal at this moment.

Ed didn't look back, but slowly increased his speed with Di Lia's mount, but he knew that what was left behind him must be a long dragon of light, and everyone walked through it, and the moment he decided to take this step was to hand over a qiē to the saint Di Lia in his heart, ideals, life, and future.

The power of the astral spirit is full of Ed's body and mind, and as the number of people increases, its power does not decay but continues to grow, which is a different experience from his own spiritual energy, but the same is that it can bring strength to everyone, both physically and mentally.

The silent town of Murray stood silently at the intersection of the main roads, witnessing two equally mighty dragons of light galloping back and forth across the night land, moving towards different targets, and before the next sunrise, they would prove themselves under the test of weapons in the hands of the enemy, and bring themselves the highest glory with determination and courage.
