Riding and Slashing

Ramon reached out to take the dice and laughed, very happily.

He jumped off the horse, came forward, grabbed Li Ang's rein, bowed and held the stirrup, and made a gesture of welcoming Li Ang to dismount.

This is a kind of etiquette, which is the etiquette for welcoming distinguished elders or close friends in the Savannir Desert.

"Master Li Ang, I once gave dice to five people, but only you can understand what I mean! It seems that I have indeed found a real good brother..."

Ramon's smiling face is indeed genuine.

The underground king of Singal had his own pride. Even if Bahadhan Kadan visited Singal, it was impossible for Ramon to personally lead the horse and pedal.

Only friends he approves of.

"You gave me three lead-filled dice, naturally you want me to roll out points that satisfy both of us. Good brother, you regarded me as a fellow traveler back then, so of course I will regard you as a true brother..."

Li Ang jumped off the horse and gave Ramon a hug.

Life is like this, many people only need to meet once and say a few words to become true friends.

Only Li Ang understood Ramon's intentions. The three lead-filled dice represented Ramon's confession to him—he was sincerely willing to regard Li Ang as a confidant.

That being the case, Li Ang must return it with the same sincerity.

A person like Ramon may indeed be insidious, cunning, and unscrupulous, but the sincerity he gave at the beginning was all true, and he also longed for the understanding and sincerity of others.

But all along, most of the rewards he got were conspiracy and betrayal.

In fact, if he repays Ramon with sincerity, he will be a real good brother—just like he treats his subordinates, he will not only take care of the work and life of his subordinates, but also let their descendants accept them like noble children. Education, get the chance to completely change your destiny.

What he wants is actually another kind of fairness.

And Li Ang's behavior of returning the dice means treating him fairly - because Li Ang himself is also the same kind of person.

It is indeed a blessing to have a confidant in life, and most people will never find it in their lifetime.

Ramon was lucky that he met.

So Ramon smiled even more happily: "Good brother, how do we auction off the city lord?"

He hammered his chest with his fist, indicating that people who understand don't need too many words.

Therefore, these two people are considered to be partners now, although there is no contract or commitment.

"Ramon, the casino under Maixiang International, every time I meet a new customer, the dealer will let the customer win a little first..."

Li Ang gently talked about the business methods in his casino.

Ramon was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "I know about this... and I have also learned it now, every time I gamble with someone, I will let people win three first..."

"Ha, you are a quick learner... In fact, strategy and war are also a kind of gambling. If you want to win to the end, you have to let your opponent fall into it first, and wait for the opponent to take the initiative to increase the bet... The same is true for the auction of the city lord and the throne. "

Li Ang nodded and started talking about business.

"I see... I know what it means, but I can't describe it as clearly as you, good brother, you are indeed a real tycoon. So, where is our goal? Wait... Let me guess ...Is it Ashkoman?"

Ramon's reaction was quick. This guy is extremely smart. His way of thinking is indeed similar to that of Li Ang himself, and the communication with him is extremely smooth.

"You guessed it right, it's Aishekman... Khalifa Bahaman's troops were just disabled in the Sava River Fort not long ago, and his territory Aishikman is about to face my army... there must be Many customers are willing to come to gamble.”

At this moment, Li Ang also had a feeling of facing his confidant, he put his arm around Ramon's shoulder and pointed to the army behind him.

There are tens of thousands of troops, boundless, and all kinds of flags are overwhelming.

Although half of them are caravans, at least it seems that the momentum is indeed huge.

There are still quite a few lords from the Sarleon Kingdom who came to fight with the marshal. Although King Ulrik and the troops of the most powerful high lords were not among them, the troops of the other small lords combined totaled more than 5000.

In this expedition to D'Shar, none of the four most powerful lords participated in the battle.

Except for the Duke of Brennus, Godric of Eagle Talon, Leofric of Yongshield, and Hereward of Misty Marsh did not come-their castles are the frontiers of the kingdom in every direction.

Moreover, their territory is too far away from the Principality of Dexia, and Li Ang didn't send them a summoning order, after all, these few are his own people.

Li Ang didn't plan to occupy any territory in this battle, so naturally there was no need to trick his own people all the way.

But just the combination of Li Ang's own troops and those little lords is definitely not something that the current Bahaman can stop. On the contrary, the Turda Fort not far away can probably be defended for a while.

"Based on the current situation, your army is strong enough to run amok in the Savannir Desert. Bahaman may pee his pants...but Gavan Khan of Turda Fortress may become your obstacle."

Ramon could obviously understand the situation, so he also asked about Turda Fortress.

He had no doubt that Li Ang would be able to capture this fortress, but if Li Ang's troops suffered too much loss in Fort Turda, they might not even be able to defeat the city of Aishikman.

"How could Gawan Khan become my obstacle... Good brother, Gawan Khan should be our client! He is Bahaman's younger brother..."

Li Ang tilted his head and smiled sinisterly.

"Oh... So this is the auction of the city lord... Ha!"

Ramon understood Li Ang's intentions: "So, besides Gawan Khan, our clients also include Bahaman's son Ikram, and his nephew Jamshid..."

"How come there are only so few? Ramon, look higher, we still have many big clients...Emperor Marius, King Ulrik, Bahad Khan Kadan, and Kadan's younger brother Emir Xerxes...and Caliph Tahir, the lord of Singal!"

Li Ang counted the number of big customers with his fingers.

Just one hand.

After counting, Li Ang looked at Ramon with a smile: "Brother, do you know how I am going to auction off the title of city lord? After Ishikoman sells it, we can continue to auction the title of Bahad... I said I would auction off the throne!"

"You're going to get Bahad Khan too... Tsk tsk, I see! These big customers really make me salivate... Good brother, what do you want me to do?"

Ramon opened his mouth wide, and started rubbing his fists excitedly.

As the underground king of Singal, Ramon has an extremely rich source of information. He knew that Bahad Khan Kadan was defeated under the city of Sarleon a few days ago. Of course, he immediately understood Li Ang's Intention, the throne of Bahad Khan can indeed be auctioned!

For the first time in his life, Ramon even asked 'how do you want me to do this', and he was always the one who said 'we can do this'.

"You go to prepare a large-scale auction, find all the big customers, and start selling tickets by the way-there must be a lot of people who want to enter to watch this unprecedented auction, and charge them a huge entrance fee... In addition, I need your Someone go to Turda Fortress to send a message..."

Li Ang was also polite, and began to assign tasks to the partners.

……

Fortress of Turda.

Gai Wanhan was pacing back and forth anxiously, with a sad expression on his face.

His territory is facing an unprecedented crisis.

In fact, this crisis started more than a month ago.

In the beginning, Governor Kailos of the Bacchus Empire led people to request to enter the territory of D'Shar to track down the priests of the Snake Cult.

At that time, the D'Shar and Bacchus empires belonged to peaceful countries, and Kailos was famous, and he didn't bring too many people with him, only a few dozen shadow centurions, so Gai Wanhan let him pass.

After all, the Snake Cult is also a heresy for the Dexia people. The Dexia are rarely troubled by the Red Death because of their special physique, but because the snake worshipers are not welcomed in most places in the Dexia. Play space, only the chaotic capital of Singal can accommodate all heresies.

Shortly thereafter, several small troops also requested entry.

And these people are not like the armed forces, each team has only [-] or [-] people, and they behave very politely - they didn't conflict with anyone in Turda Fortress, they just said kindly that they were trying to judge heresy come.

In the past, there were often very polite small teams entering the country under the name of 'trial heresy' or 'criticism of corruption', but those people actually went to Singal.

——The so-called "judgment of heretics" is actually to buy and sell slaves. After all, if heretics are captured alive, they will basically become slaves without exception. Many nobles like to find excitement on heretics;

And 'Criticism of Depravity' is actually looking for women who have lost their way. Singal's temptresses are famous...

So Gai Wanhan didn't pay much attention. These seemed to be brokers and compradors. To him, this kind of compradors who helped nobles buy and sell slaves and have fun entering the country was actually very common.

Although Singal is considered to be the territory of D'Shar in name, it is actually two different cultures from D'Shar. Most of Singal's people are not D'Shar—they are all kinds of criminals or their descendants from all over the world. Formed a so-called Sinjar nation.

Since the Singals don't believe in the D'Shar's god, the black horse 'Vata', for most D'Shars, the Singals and the city itself are all heretics, so they don't think it's a problem to judge heresy... …

It’s just that they all know that this evil city must exist, because Singal’s position is stuck between the Kingdom of Sarleon and the Savanir Desert, and it can block the attacks from the Kingdom of Sarleon for De’Sha—especially the D’Shar After looting in Sarleon.

So these people will definitely go to Singal, and there is no need for Gavan Khan to stop them. He collected the 'entry tax' as usual and let them go.

But then, things gradually changed...

One after another, armed forces suddenly appeared in the D'Shar territory-and these troops did not cross the border, not from the Turda Fortress.

But these groups all claim to 'judgment heresy', and they do - they are not going to Singal, they are attacking the D'Shar herders in the Savannir Desert everywhere!
The heresy they want to judge is actually the D'Xia people who believe in 'Vata'!
In Gaiwan Khan's territory, such armed forces with dozens of people appeared the most. Many civilians were attacked and a large number of horses were robbed.

It wasn't until Gai Wanhan killed a small army and caught a living that he realized that these people came by sea.

Shih Basha Village is a coastal fishing village, but the bay there is full of reefs, which were not suitable for ships to dock at first. Only local fishermen can fish in the offshore, so there are not many troops guarding there.

But the small team that politely asked to enter before was probably the engineering team led by the secret spy. They used the fishermen's fishing boat pier to rebuild it, and now they can dock small sea boats...

As a result, all kinds of messy militants in Bacchus landed from Shih Basha wave after wave. Although the temporary small port could only accommodate dozens of people in a small boat at a time, they were still poured in within a few days. Countless small troops...

If it's just that, that's okay, after all, these are small troops, and according to the captives, they are all green forest heroes from various hills, with various sources and no leadership, Gai Wanhan is confident to kill them one by one.

Of course, Gai Wan Khan also knew that this so-called "hero from the forest" must have something to do with Emperor Marius, but no matter what, the bandits who nominally belonged to the territory of Bacchus ran to the territory of Dexia to rob—this happened It can only be considered that Dexia's law and order is not good...

But when Gaiwan Khan sent his army to pursue those small troops who were robbing horses everywhere, his army suffered a heavy blow.

A few days after these small troops made troubles, a large and elite real large army also entered the Savanir Desert and defeated Gawan Khan's army of several hundred people near Gasin. Almost the whole army was wiped out.

This army did not come from Bacchus - Gawan Khan has destroyed the temporary port of Shih Basha and sent troops to patrol the coast. There should be no more "green forest heroes" on the side of Bacchus Empire 'coming.

That mighty army wore silver armor, white cloaks and white robes, and they also claimed to "judgment heretics", and their behavior was like a judgment-they would burn anyone who did not believe in Asta, the goddess of justice. Leah's people...

They called themselves the "Inquisition of Heretics."

The Heresy Inquisition actually came from the northwest, maybe they have something to do with the Dawn Knights in Guangxiao Bay, anyway, their style looks similar to those Dawn Knights.

It was also easy for Gavan Khan to think why this so-called Tribunal came to his territory—this army probably came to recruit troops.

Because the Inquisition took the initiative to attack Gawan Khan's army, and rescued the two bandit teams, and those two small teams also joined the Inquisition.

Those robbers and gangsters who used to 'trial heresy' are obviously the targets that the Inquisition Tribunal wants to recruit...

And the fact of 'trial heresy' itself probably gave the Tribunal a lot of inspiration - while recruiting those small groups of bandits, the well-equipped troops of the Tribunal of Heresy were also doing the same thing as those bandits .

Looting, taking horses and belongings, killing any man who resisted, and destroying women who resisted or not.

It's just that they went a little extra - forcing all survivors to convert or carry out their 'judgment' by fire.

But Gavan Khan sent out most of the army in order to hunt down the bandits who came from Bacchus, and now he only has a few hundred people in his hands, and these hundreds of people have to guard the Turda Fortress—— —The large army of the Sarleon Kingdom is marching here.

So Gai Wanhan is quite worried now, he is even considering whether to hurry up and run away...
