Chapter Ninety-Eight: Aftermath 5
Looking at the enemy who fell into his crowd for the first time, Ed shook his head slightly, since the moment he was completely surrounded, the fate of the other party was already doomed.
The power of the astral spirit itself is more defensive, and it is even more unique in counteracting psionic attacks, and the soldiers in the first row of your own team will take some blunt damage at most, and can be used again after a simple treatment.
Don't look at the fact that the enemy can still send a lot of people flying with their weapons, but there are very few who are really effective in killing, and it will not take long for their spiritual energy to be exhausted, and finally they will be taken down by the warriors who swarmed up.
"Catch it alive!"
The captain of his subordinates ordered to go down, and Ed himself didn't want to squeeze into the crowd to harvest the killing, anyway, it was impossible for the knight who had lost his speed to escape, so the young man simply took a part of the men and horses and rushed towards the enemy's path.
"It's the enemy!"
"Don't be afraid, they're not psionic knights, let's go!"
The ordinary soldiers of the Ingir people were still dragging and following a long distance behind at this time, and they all held the idea of cleaning the battlefield as usual for a while, and when they saw the cavalry team charging towards their side, many people turned around in fright and wanted to run.
Fortunately, the warlord team composed of knights' own soldiers stopped them in time, and after seeing the number of people here, it could not be a knight, but the other party was bold, and set up a formation to wait for Ed and them to attack.
"Hah, you guys who don't know if you're alive or dead!"
Ed didn't want to cause too much killing, but this was not the moment of hesitation at all, and the only way to make the other party realize that the strength of this side was incomparable. They will be in the right position to surrender.
Hundreds of Roland cavalry carrying the power of the star spirit rushed towards the thousands of ordinary warriors of Ingill, and in an instant, it was like a sharp blade cutting through the intercarotid artery of the prey, and the flesh and blood flew sideways. The scene was terrible.
Compared with traditional psionic power, the power of the star spirit is weak in defense and attack, but it is still an overwhelming advantage in the face of ordinary people, and the cavalry can deflect the enemy's shield and cut off the opponent's head with a casual blow.
All the way, the cavalry led by Ed chopped melons and vegetables and scattered the ranks of the Ingirs. With just a face, the confidence of the Ingiers was completely shattered.
Ed didn't go deeper, he commanded a familiar captain to lead the team to outflank from the other side. Cooperate with yourself to surround the enemy again, which is already showing signs of collapse.
The Ingill soldiers huddled uneasily against each other, holding their weapons in front of them, looking for the last bit of security.
Several attempts to break through were chased and killed by high-speed cavalry, and the rest of the men also knew in despair that they wanted to survive the opponent's butcher's knife. It's definitely not on your own two legs. It's the compassion of the other party.
Ed walked around, slaughtered a few restless guys with his own hands, and looked at the object in front of him who did not kneel down and surrender despite his trembling appearance, and felt a little puzzled in his heart, isn't the strength shown by his own side enough, and he wants to kill a few more?
Then he heard movement in the woods and turned his head to see that the battle was over. The Ingier knights were escorted out by his warriors.
Through the bright moonlight, I saw that the psionics who were dependent on the heavens on my side also appeared in embarrassment, and I was still captured alive by life. The ordinary soldiers of Ingier were in an instant uproar.
The organic spirit immediately knelt down, and knocked the knight's own soldier who refused to obey to the ground with his backhand.
Only then did Ed suddenly realize that the ordinary soldiers insisted on refusing to surrender for fear of being held accountable by their knight lords after the war, and what they lost was not their own life, but the lives of the whole family.
Even with these knights who were captured alive, Ed didn't need to send too many people to guard the huge number of ordinary soldiers of Ingill, he simply left a few people to supervise the other party on the spot, and took most of the soldiers and the captured psionics to the direction of the target stronghold.
This time the rescue of the Ingier knights almost poured out, there were not a few psionics left behind, seeing that the masters who had just gone out of the city were escorted back in embarrassment, everyone in the fortress hesitated for a while, and finally the city surrendered, think about it, not to mention that so many knights can be captured, the other party's strength is definitely not something he can contend with, even if someone wants to resist again, he has to worry that the other party will simply kill two captive knights in a fit of anger to vent his anger, then he will have to suffer when he turns back.
Successfully take the stronghold, on the one hand, send people to inquire about the situation on the other two battlefields, and at the same time turn back to collect the ordinary prisoners who were left behind.
By dawn, there was good news from the other two sides, Howard led hundreds of knights to fight a little harder, but in the end they still took the target fortress, but the opposing knights failed to keep much, and basically retreated, but fortunately, the corresponding casualties on their own side were not large.
Deria's side is a big victory like herself, it is said that some of the knights they attacked participated in the battle of Ovalé, as soon as they recognized Deria's banner, they turned around and fled, destroying the knight formation, not to mention, and was chased directly by Delia to the fortress, and won it in one fell swoop, and the final result was not as good as Ed's side, ran away some knights, and failed to wipe them all.
Overall, Operation Lightning was a complete success, but Ed knew that his companion must not be satisfied, and maybe the operation would continue.
Sure enough, the heralds confirmed the boy's suspicions, and Delia asked him to immediately assemble his team and go to the rendezvous in the afternoon, where Howard's knights would take over the defense.
This time it was Ed's acquaintance who came, and when Max finished reporting the order, Ed was relieved to learn that his father had not survived, and learned that Delia had wanted to persuade him to stay at home, honor his mother, and stay away from the dangerous battlefield.
But Max insisted on coming back, on the one hand, to avenge his father, and on the other hand, the kid also knew that leaving the army did not mean that there was no danger, and in this troubled world, there was no power to protect himself and he could only be tortured by cruel fate.
When Ed heard this, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Yes, I also had the same troubles as you before, whether to stay away from danger and find a place to live in seclusion or insist on rising and falling in this troubled world, but then I thought, where can I really stay away from the smoke of gunpowder? Where there are people, there will be fighting, rather than passively hoping not to be involved, it is better to fight, use your own hands to fight the world, and bring real safety to yourself and your relatives. ”
"Uh...... I don't understand it, but I know that it's right to follow you and Lord Deria, and I will definitely work harder!" Max nodded to Eddard after throwing away the knots that had been bothering him for a long time. (To be continued......)
