Riding and Slashing

Chapter 275 Bridget and Eddie

After nightfall, a Singalian rider on a yellow horse came to the barracks.

He came near the barracks on horseback. Soldiers warned him and shot arrows at him. Then he dismounted and raised his hands in surrender. Then he was taken to Li Ang's camp by patrolling soldiers.

"Master Li Ang, your soldiers almost shot me...can you let me go?"

The Singal rider complained, then turned his head and glared at the two soldiers behind him.

"You rode recklessly into the vicinity of the barracks. To be honest, you are still alive because the patrolling sentries tonight are damned... Klose, go to replace the outer defenses and drag the outer sentries back tonight to fight the Tenth Army A stick! It can actually make people ride horses within [-] meters of the army camp..."

After Li Ang gave the order with a gloomy face, he turned his head to look at the rider: "Who are you? What are you planning to do when you come to me?"

The lord asked this because he knew that this Singal rider was not Ramon's subordinate.

Ramon's subordinates would not complain to Li Ang, and they would notify Li Ang with their voice first - Ramon's subordinates had been carrying out various secret activities for a long time, and all of them were cautious, and they would not be as reckless as this Singalian rider.

"My name is Ediz, Lord Li Ang, you don't need to punish the outside scouts, I just stunned one...cough, he has been diligently patrolling a mile away..."

The Singal rider looked a little embarrassed: "Master Ramon asked me to contact you in Toba, but I think the contact information he told me is too cowardly, I don't like doing such disgraceful things... He asked me to call spring like a wild cat."

This was indeed an agreement between Ramon and Leon. Ramon's subordinates would call Chun with a fixed rhythm, and the two Noldo with strong ears, Lisa Dilan and Wendy, could hear it two or three miles away.

"What? You call being cautious and cowardly? Why do I feel that it is all luck that you can survive until now..."

Li Ang looked at Ediz: "You should talk about the business first, I'm not interested in your personal preferences."

"Master Ramon asked me to tell you that there is an abandoned secret door on the west side of Toba City, and your army can enter the city from there... Bahad Khan Kadan is not here now, and there are only a small number of D'Shar Wind Riders and some You can quickly capture Toba City, and the D'Shar Principality will soon become a vassal of the Sarleon Kingdom..."

Ediz began to explain the situation quickly, as if he had recited it, and he said it very slickly.

While talking, he approached the lord.

"Make De'Sha a vassal of the Sarleon Kingdom?... Ha, is that what Ramon really said?"

Li Ang looked at Ediz with a half-smile, then picked up a 'Silver Hand' in front of him and asked back while wearing it.

In the shadow behind the lord, Lisa Diran had already started to move quietly, and walked around behind Ediz without making a sound.

There are obviously some problems with Eddie's words.

The agreement between Li Ang and Ramon was to auction Bahad Khan, how could Ramon say such a thing?

Moreover, Ramon didn't need to help Li Ang attack Toba City - Li Ang didn't have this request, he only needed information from Ramon's spies.

In fact, Li Ang didn't necessarily have to capture the city right away. It was also possible to stay outside the city for a few days, put the scouts farther away, and defeat the Desha lords who came to rescue Toba City one by one.

After all, the ultimate goal is not to capture the territory of the city, but to eliminate the living forces loyal to Kadan, so that the Bahad Khan position can be truly auctioned.

Ramon must have placed his spies in the city of Toba, but Ramon would never let his subordinates take Li Ang to some secret passage or secret door—unless Li Ang requested this, otherwise people like Ramon would not help Li Ang decide.

Ramon is good at gambling, but he is not a gambler himself. He will not take the initiative to add any uncertain factors to the plan, let alone make his own claims without asking.

So... there must be something wrong with Ediz.

Is something wrong with Ramon?

In other words, something happened to the men sent by Ramon to Toba City?
"Lord Li Ang, I'm just a person in charge of delivering the message. Now that the message has arrived, I should leave..."

Edith seemed to feel that Li Ang's eyes were not looking good, and he started to look back at the door of the tent, as if he was about to run away.

"You haven't taken me to see the secret door... you want to leave? Ediz, you are not good at acting at all, and you are not Ramon's subordinates... Who told you to come?"

Li Ang stood up, stretched his shoulders, and stood in front of Ediz.

"Master Li Ang, I don't understand what you are talking about..."

Edith looked at the thorny gauntlet on Li Ang's body, hesitantly, and his eyes were dodging around.

"Then I have to wrong you..."

Lisa Dilan suddenly appeared from the shadows, grabbed Eddie's arm, and twisted his hands behind his back.

Li Ang directly touched Eddie's body with his gloved hand.

"Eh...he really didn't bring a weapon? Lisa Dilan, search him for any poison."

Li Ang took two steps back and took off the gauntlet - this is Klose's equipment. Li Ang's arms are not that thick, and wearing this gauntlet is not stable at all.

Wearing it temporarily is just to prevent assassination.

"There is no poison on him, but there is a little hallucinogen... But this thing should not be used to harm you, my lord."

Lisa Diran knew the poisons used by the assassins well - he would carry several of them with him.

But Addiz obviously doesn't know how to use poison. The small ball of ecstasy on his body is actually a ointment made of opium mixed with spices. It needs to be heated with a bong to inhale, so it must not be used. Harmful.

"The Noldor?! Don't throw away my things... Let go of me, you pointy-eared bastard! I won't be that kind of cowardly killer, I'm really just here to pass on a message..."

Seeing Lisa Dilan throwing away the ball of opium like trash, Addiz struggled and started to yell.

"Ediz, who are you working for? Since you didn't intend to murder me, then I can give you a way out - but at least you have to tell me who is planning to trick me into attacking the city from that so-called secret door ?”

Li Ang looked at the ball of ointment on the ground, and then at Ediz - obviously, the reason for Ediz appearing here is already obvious, this guy probably exchanged this mission for the black ball on the ground Pretty stuff.

"...I can't betray my employer...Although he is a jerk, I am not!"

A trace of struggle flashed across Ediz's face, but he still didn't say anything.

"That's fine, don't say it..."

Li Ang looked very reasonable, and asked with a gentle attitude: "It seems that you are a person who pursues dignity... But why do you work for someone like Bridget?"

"I owe him a lot of money... Wait! How do you know I'm working for Bridget..."

Edith had been staring at the ball of opium, and was answering casually, but then he reacted and turned to look at Li Ang.

He really didn't mention Bridget...

"It's just a random guess... You are from Singal, not Ramon's subordinate, and you still have this thing on your body. Of course, I can guess that you are Brigi's subordinate... Since you know that Ramon is my friend... ..."

Li Ang shook his head and smiled: "Brigi is a magic stick who uses poison to control his subordinates, Ramon will naturally tell me."

"My lord, I will bury him..."

Lisa Dilan had already bound Ediz's hands. Seeing this guy's face full of embarrassment but gritting his teeth and pretending to be a tough guy, Lisa Dilan sneered, dragged Eddie and planned to go out.

"Wait... pointy ears, wait! Lord Li Ang, I'm no longer working for Bridget... I'm really just here to send a message, really."

Seeing that Lisa Dilan really planned to bury herself, Ediz became anxious.

"You have to say something useful... Otherwise, a useless addict can only waste food..."

Li Ang still had a gentle attitude, and he cooperated well with Li Sadilan, who had a red face and a white face.

"Brigi and his troops are in Toba City. He accepted the employment of Bahadhan Kadan and wanted to lure you to the secret door for an ambush. That's all I know... Lord Ramon's men are The one caught by Brigi...has died in Toba City."

Eddie was quick to explain: "My lord, I am determined to leave Bridget, really. I couldn't stand his disgraceful behavior..."

Brigi claimed to be a "desert prophet", and he claimed to be inspired by the gods, asking him to kill all unclean evil spirits in the D'Shar territory.

He declared to his followers that evil spirits are not normal and can only be recognized by his "God's Eyes", and the evil spirits can only be revealed through oracle...

And once he is identified as a so-called evil spirit, both humans and animals will be wiped out, and the property will be "dedicated to the gods" by him-this guy probably combines the Dawn Knights and the Ghazi Temple, and then develops Out of his own set of 'purification' logic.

However, what he believes in is definitely neither the goddess of justice nor the horse god Vata.

The mystical religion that Bridget believes in advocates sacrifice and dedication, and it is said that after death, he can go to the paradise of heaven.

In this religion, any ritual requires the initiation of a prophet—in fact, the use of those highly addictive hallucinogenic drugs to create hallucinations, such as opium smoke or other similar drugs that cause rapid addiction.

After this, Bridget can control or enslave his men for a long time.

Before every war, he would deliberately stop taking drugs to make his men addicted to drugs.

These drugged-ups would become quite insane in battle, and Bridger had won a number of victories in doing so, and had forced some small tribes to surrender to him near Sinjar.

Speaking of which, Brigitte actually had a grudge with Ramon - if Ramon wanted to cooperate with Li Ang, he would naturally tell Li Ang about his enemies and possible enemies.

He probably has something to do with the mercenary leader Fruz who was once killed by Ramon. Anyway, those Singal seductresses under Fruz are all under Brigi's command now.

Moreover, many of those temptresses were selected by Bridget to accept some kind of mysterious challenge.

The challenge is said to have been inspired by Bridget himself when he was hallucinating from a drug, but no one, not even Ramon, knows exactly what the challenge was about.

But Ramon said that all Singal temptresses who succeed in the challenge will be called "Omen Seekers" by Bridger and become his trusted guards.

This is obviously heresy, so Ramon mentioned it to Li Ang.

However, Kadan actually hired such a guy and let him enter the capital Toba City?
Isn't he afraid that everyone in Toba City will become addicts?

Or... Cardan just hoped so?
"Brigi and I should have no grievances, right? Why did he want to kill me? I don't believe that he was just trying to help Kadan defend the city of Toba..."

Li Ang felt that Bridget's kind of indiscretion must not be that noble, and Kadan should just hire him to guard the city, not make him the caliph of D'Shar. It stands to reason that Bridget didn't have to take the initiative to trouble the Sarleon army.

"Master Li Ang, Bridget didn't want to kill you, he wanted to capture you alive, then control you with poison, and then control your army..."

Edith turned his head to stare at the lump of opium ointment on the ground again: "Actually, all his troops came from this way..."

"I see... Ediz, you shouldn't believe in Bridget's mysterious religion, right? How did you become addicted to drugs?"

Li Ang looked Ediz up and down, and confirmed that he was a real Singal - most Singals don't believe in God, and dinar is the highest justice, this is what Ramon said.

"Cough... I was deceived by some temptresses. It's not very glorious, so don't mention it. But I really have decided to leave, I want to get out of this life..."

There was obvious embarrassment on Ediz's face. It seemed that he had been tricked badly by those temptresses before.

"I really want to believe that you really left Brigitte...but the thing on the ground makes me have to suspect that you may not have left so completely..."

Li Ang shook his head at Ediz: "But if you can help me get rid of Bridget, then maybe I can get you out of this thing completely and return to a normal life."

"Okay, Master Li Ang, I know that if I don't agree, I will definitely be buried here... I really don't want to live on poison for the rest of my life, but it's really hard for me to control myself when the addiction strikes."

Ediz gave up struggling and turned to Li Ang and sighed: "However, Lord Li Ang, Brigitte has nearly 2000 people in the city. And he is recruiting more people. Many outlaws have joined his army, and now they want to It's not that easy to deal with him..."

It seems that Addiz really wants to return to a normal life, but he doesn't have much confidence in killing Bridger.

"He recruited the D'Shars in Toba City? How could he convert the D'Shars who believed in Mata to heresy?"

Li Ang admired Bridget's ability a little bit, which was something neither the Knights of the Dawn nor the Inquisitor of the Judgment could do.

"Most of the D'Shars in Toba don't really believe in the god Vata... In fact, I think they, like the Singalians, only believe in dinars."

Ediz shook his head: "Master Leon, how do you plan to deal with Bridget?"

"Don't you owe him money... How much do you owe him?"

Li Ang asked about Ediz's debts.
