Riding and Slashing

Chapter 123

At this moment, Changhe Town still has close to a thousand garrisons, including [-] real Sarleon cavalry.

They did express their sincere welcome to the arrival of the coalition army—the situation was completely reversed with just one fire, and Changhe Town was already safe. Of course, they would welcome reinforcements.

They did not express any objection to Godric's intention to temporarily take over the defense of Changhe Town - Godric is the king's brother-in-law after all, and he brought a large number of elite troops to the rescue, and even defeated the enemy.

Now that the governor of Changhe Town is not here, it is appropriate for Baron Godric to temporarily take over the defense at this time.

However, although these garrisons are very polite, none of them are willing to go out of the city to fight!
It's not that they are afraid of death and war, but that going out to fight in the city is not good for them...

Because they were soldiers brought by Duke Alma from Lion Lake City.

These guys told Amy before that their duty is to guard Changhe Town. If the Prophet Legion launches an attack, they will definitely fight to the death.But if the enemy didn't attack Changhe Town, or if the enemy wanted to retreat, "that would be great"-this is what the commander of the Sarleon Cavalry said.

These garrisons are all subordinates of Duke Alma. For them, as long as there is no accident in Changhe Town, it will be fine.

As for whether the Prophet Legion will run away, or whether it will harm other villages, it has nothing to do with them.

It is actually normal for them to have this kind of mentality. After all, they are not from Changhe Town. They were just arranged by Duke Alma to take over the defense of Changhe Town a few months ago.

As a garrison, it is their responsibility to guard Changhe Town, but other than that, they don't have any local feelings for this area...

This is why Leon must let Godric get the military control of Changhe Town - Alma's people don't care about the life and death of other people in the eastern region, it doesn't even have anything to do with their own character.

If they are not good at defending the city, they must be responsible, and Duke Alma will not spare them, so they will naturally work hard.

But if they were fighting out of the city, it would not be of much benefit to them if they won the battle, and once a large casualty was caused, the leading knight would have to bear the responsibility, so they would definitely not want to go out of the city.

In fact, most nobles don't care about other people's territories, and there are few nobles who are willing to consider the overall safety like Godric and Leofric.

In fact, if the entire garrison of Changhe Town were dispatched out of the city to fight, they would definitely be able to win a battle under the current circumstances.

Even if they didn't dare to mobilize the whole army, relying on this Sarleon Cavalry alone could completely put the Prophet Legion in a dilemma.

Judging from the current situation, as long as there are enough cavalry troops watching outside the city, the Three Prophets will definitely not dare to retreat easily.

As long as they have the slightest intention to retreat, the cavalry can charge forward, at least hold them back, and then the army will have time to come out of Changhe Town.

The Legion of Prophets would be trapped under the city, unable to move, unless the Three Prophets were willing to leave all the female soldiers behind and run away with the Doom Bringer—even so, they might not be able to escape.

But the problem is, those Sarleon cavalrymen are not even willing to go out of the city to replace the rangers who haven't slept all night-not to mention Amy's request, even Godric's request, the leading knight refused .

Now we can only let Ralph's rangers work harder, cooperate with Baron Leofric to persist for a few more hours, and stare at the Prophet Legion, so that the large army can have a good sleep.

Godric still held his breath, and ignored the cavalry, and only issued an announcement throughout the city, indicating that he would temporarily take over Changhe Town.

But he still couldn't help sighing: "It is because of the mentality of every high lord's troops that these heretics can run rampant in Pender! They are all selfish guys!"

However, Li Ang didn't want to let it go: "Master Godric, they just don't see the benefits... Don't worry, they will leave the city to fight at noon at the most!"

After finishing speaking, the lord directly took Amy into the largest tavern in Changhe Town—the Adventurer's Tavern.

"Amy, go to the garrison camp and invite the leading knight, and tell him that Baron Leon, chairman of Maixiang Group, invited him to drink and asked him for help..."

"Teacher, do you want to persuade him? But they do have a reason not to leave the city to fight..."

After all, Amy is too young to learn to see the essence through the phenomenon.

"It's okay, you just need to call someone over, I have to make some arrangements..."

The lord went to the tavern owner while talking: "Boss, you have a box here, right? For a sumptuous dinner, you can have whatever is the most expensive here."

The owner of the tavern burst into laughter when he heard this: "Yes, yes, my lord, this way please..."

The so-called private room is actually the boss's own room... But it doesn't matter, anyway, the purpose is not to treat guests to dinner, as long as it looks big, it's fine.

Not long after, the leading knight who had refused to fight was brought into this box by Amy.

He had to come - out of town to fight he could refuse, but an invitation to a full baron's dinner was not easy to refuse.

Moreover, a young lady like Amy came to invite her in person, which is enough to save face, and it would be too naive if she didn't come.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he almost ran away - ten strong men from Mettenheim stood in a circle in the box, leaning against the wall, all around a big round table with expressionless faces.

There was only one young nobleman sitting at the round table, but the table was indeed filled with all kinds of wine and dishes.

And as soon as he entered, Klose at the door closed the door and leaned against the door, apparently not intending to let anyone out.

This frankly looks like a scene of the underworld scaring people. The knight's head started to sweat. He came to a banquet, and he didn't even have a decent weapon on him.

"This... Lord Baron, what can I do for you?"

The knight was a bit timid. Seeing that Klose blocked the door with a blank face, he turned to ask the lord, acting quite calmly.

But his tone was obviously not as harsh as when he refused to fight just now.

However, the lord's attitude was very gentle: "Please sit down, Your Excellency, don't be nervous, I just ask you for a favor... You seem to be sweating? Is it hot?"

Who wouldn't sweat a little in this scene?
The knight couldn't figure out the lord's intentions, so he sat down a bit awkwardly, but his movements were a little stiff - his buttocks only touched one-third of the chair.

Amy also sat beside the lord and began to watch and study.

"Amy, you should already know me, but you may not know who I am... My name is Li Ang, the chairman of Maixiang International. Amy is my partner."

The lord's attitude is gentle, but his tone is indifferent, and his eyes are slanted.

While talking, he reached out to pour a glass of wine and handed it to the knight.

The knight took the cup but didn't drink it, put it on the table, frowned and asked the lord: "My lord, you might as well just say it... I know I offended a few lords today, but we do have a reason not to fight... "

Li Ang twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I understand you, and I didn't come to trouble you. In fact, I want to talk to you about a business..."

The knight frowned deeper: "Business?"

"I think you should have heard of the industry of Maixiang Group..."

Li Ang took out a dinar with a smile, and bounced it onto the table, like a gambler betting on the table.

"Eh? Those... you opened those casinos?"

The knight's face suddenly became a little weird. It seems that he also lost money with a certain operator.

Merchants have opened many casinos around Lion Lake City. The garrison of this era is the largest customer group of casinos, and those who have never participated in gambling are the minority...

"Since you know my main business, you must also know the strength of Maixiang International." Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "But you may not know what kind of opportunity you almost missed today..."

The knight was a little cautious by Li Ang's formation.

Of course he realized what a lucrative business those casinos were, and the young baron sitting in front of him was a very rich man!
The knight's attitude became obviously respectful.

Human beings are like this - when the social status of the other party is higher than their own, and their wealth is also more than their own, people will always involuntarily lower their posture... Many people even think that it is a kind of a big boss to be able to talk to themselves on an equal footing. glory!

When a person has such an attitude, it is usually easy to do business.

Li Ang smiled: "It is true that casinos can make a lot of money, but this is not the most profitable business in the world... I really want to open another business that is more profitable, but I have been short of resources and have no chance... However, today is the most profitable business. Sufficient resources have been found!"

Speaking of this, the lord showed a greasy smile.

The knight was stunned for a moment, and then showed the same smile: "My lord, do you want to..."

"Yes, you understand! I really want to open a service business... I even thought of a name for the new business - it's called Heaven and Earth! What do you think of the name?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, and a more disgusting smile appeared on his face.

"Then it just happens to be able to go south and north with Qiaoyan Bay... Hehehe!" This knight looks very experienced, and he is probably also an expert in Fengyue Field.

"I didn't have any resources at first, but now there are at least five or six hundred top beauties outside. If I can get some, this new business may be able to start immediately..."

Li Ang touched his chin and said.

"Lord Li Ang, that's a heretic witch!" The knight turned pale with shock, apparently not expecting that the lord was planning on the Three Prophets.

"I don't believe you have no idea about those beautiful heretics..."

Li Ang glanced at the knight: "Besides, what do you think we came here with our troops? Could it be that you think we are simply here to rescue Changhe Town? Duke Alma won't do me any favors!"

"That's true...they look really attractive..." The knight himself also felt that it was unlikely that the reinforcements came here to rescue Changhe Town—after all, the reinforcements came so fast that the Prophet Legion hadn't even attacked Changhe Town yet. Well, the big team is coming.

"That's why I came to you - I have too few troops to take those women. Most of Lord Godric's troops are archers, and it's hard to capture them. But you have thousands of troops here, no matter how In addition to the army brought by Lord Godric, it must be enough to capture those women! I am willing to pay a super high price for twenty doom attractors... I will pay [-] dinars for one doom attractor! Only twenty , first come first served!"

Li Ang offered an irresistible super high price, [-] dinars to buy a doom attractor prisoner of war!
This kind of price, let alone seen it before, this knight has never even heard of it-this is not a Noldor elf, but a heretic witch!
You know, three thousand dinars can buy more than a dozen sets of ordinary standard equipment!
Or, you can buy dozens or even hundreds of strong slaves;

Or, you can buy a huge manor in the hinterland of the kingdom... with hundreds of acres of land!
——Three thousand dinars are a huge sum of money that most knights can't save enough for a lifetime, enough to make people have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

And the rich man in front of him wanted to buy twenty of them!

Li Ang could see that the knight's breathing became short of breath...

So, he made up the price again: "If any of the three prophets can be captured, I can pay [-] dinars! I believe that many people will be interested in these three prophets...they will let me The new business was successful overnight! As for the other female soldiers, that's fine...but at least, I can pay five times the market price!"

The knight expressed great interest in this big business of buying and selling heresies on the spot: "Master Li Ang, I think your business will start soon! I understand what you mean!"

Then he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down.

After drinking, he bowed to Amy: "I'm sorry, Miss Amy, I didn't expect this reason... If you had said such a thing earlier, I wouldn't have offended you..."

Li Ang knocked on the table: "Amy is a girl, how could she mention this business in public? Now that you understand, I will let Amy wait here, and when she sees what I want, she will pay..."

"Don't worry, my lord, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

After speaking, he got up and left, probably because he couldn't wait to do business.

Li Ang smiled, as long as you look in the right direction, there is no one who can't be manipulated...

Amy was still a little confused: "Teacher, you don't really want to open a 'heaven and earth'?"

The lord curled his lips: "How is it possible... Do I look like that kind of person?"

Amy sighed, but didn't say the word 'like' after all: "Actually, you can also lure them to fight with money directly. Why do you want to make such a scene?"

She pointed to the food on the table.

"Amy, to motivate someone you don't know, you must first make him willing to listen to you. And making people willing to listen to you carefully and form an obedient attitude is much more important than the content of the words!"

"I have to let him know that I am rich, and I have to let him know that I have sufficient reasons for my willingness to pay, so that he will believe that I can really give a big price."

"If there were no such scenes to create an environment, he would most likely reject me. At that time, it would not be easy to talk to him..."

"Besides, these things won't be wasted—brothers, come, let's have a good meal!"

The Mettenheim hunks immediately sat down at the table with smiles on their faces, and they couldn't wait.

Li Ang and Amy hurriedly pulled a chicken leg each, and then fled the room like flying - neither of them wanted to eat in the pigsty...

Just a few hours later, at noon that day, all the leading knights in the garrison in Changhe Town collectively asked Godric to join them, expressing their desire to fight to the death with the Prophet Legion!

There are even a few mercenary regiments who don't know where they came from, and they also claim to "eliminate evil and heresy for the people"...

After eating and drinking, Li Ang even took a nap. As soon as he came back with a yawn, he heard Baron Godric express in a good mood: "Everyone is a hero of justice, these heretics will definitely be destroyed today!"

Then Godric waved his hand: "The whole army goes to battle!"

Thousands of garrisons, as well as various mercenary regiments with hundreds of people in total, plus more than 1000 coalition troops, together rushed out of Changhe Town...

Except for Ralph's rangers and Leofric's 'draw horse cavalry' who need to retreat from the battlefield to catch up on sleep, all the combat forces in Changhe Town have already gone to battle!
This is an army of more than 2000 people, four times the current number of the Prophet Legion, and all of them have high morale right now.

Godric was also preparing to leave the city with his guards, and when he passed by the lord, he asked, "Sure enough, it's a man-made death... But, if they can really capture many heretics, will you really ask Amy to pay? "

Li Ang smiled and said in a low voice: "Capture heretics? Those women are not afraid of death at all, how can they be captured? Those doom attractors don't even feel pain... Want to capture them? This is harder than capturing the Noldor elves... As for the captives The Three Prophets——if someone really has this ability, then I would definitely pay to befriend such a hero..."

After finishing speaking, he went up to the city wall and lay down on the top of the wall, intending to take a look before leaving the city.

The Legion of Prophets, who hadn't moved for a long time, finally made a move at this time - after discovering that the army had left the city, they were directly dispersed into dozens of teams, and those blood-sworn witches were also divided into teams, with about seven or eight people in each team. .

These teams spread out in all directions, apparently trying to disperse and break through.

The three prophets were still together, and they fled westward with dozens of Doom Introducers, their attitude was quite decisive.

Is this going to abandon the other female soldiers and run away?

Li Ang stood up in surprise. If the three prophets wanted to run away, wouldn't it be more appropriate to retreat when the large army entered the city?

Although there are so many cavalry staring at them all the time, they will also suffer huge losses if they retreat, but at least it is much better than facing the army now!
Moreover, the coalition army also got a few hours of rest time, how could the three prophets make such a decision?

But it didn't take long for the lord to realize that the decision of the three prophets to run now was actually right - they were afraid of being chased by the rangers before, and now the rangers had entered the city to rest, so they wanted to take this opportunity to run away.

Indeed, being chased by a large number of cavalry archers is the most terrifying thing. Those doom attractors are themselves cavalry archers, and they probably know this well.

Anyway, for the Three Prophets, as long as they decide to run, they must give up those infantry soldiers. No matter when they run, the price is the same.

Since there is no difference in the price paid, the chances of the Three Prophets escaping successfully will indeed be higher when the rangers are not on the battlefield.

But, but.

But the Three Prophets certainly did not expect that the lord offered a high price to 'buy' them...

Under the lure of the lord's large sum of money, all the Sarleon cavalry and mercenary regiments have all chased after them—the three prophets only brought dozens of doom attractors, not many of them, and they all happened to belong to Lord Li Ang. The type of goods bought at a high price...

It is true that these Sarleon cavalry do not have the ranger's ability to mount and shoot, but they now have the determination to chase the dinar.

Therefore, their pursuit appeared to be more targeted - they completely ignored the scattered female soldiers, and went straight to the three prophets, with a very clear goal.

　Thoughts of LSP of Pandor Game Weirdness:
　　When encountering the Prophet Legion or the Prophet Patrol, the Prophecy Shards will always risk being shot and use a blunt weapon to knock the Prophet's cronies and female soldiers...

　　After knocking out the captives, they always uncharacteristically refuse to pack and sell them to Ramon, but try to recruit them into the team against all opinions...

　　Honestly, have you ever done this?
