Riding and Slashing

Chapter 276
Ediz did owe Bridget a large sum of money—three thousand dinars.

In order to pay off his debts, he became Brigi's mercenary.

But for an ordinary Singal mercenary, [-] dinars is a huge sum that will be difficult to repay in a lifetime, even if Ediz is sold.

Judging from the "pricing" that Ramon, a professional human trafficker, usually puts on various fighters, a Singalian rider like Ediz is only worth [-] dinars.

If the buyer is good at haggling, maybe Ramon will also send a lame old horse as a bonus...

So Eddez was pessimistic about his future fate. He still hadn't paid the huge sum of money, and it was difficult to get out of Brigi's drug control. Not a follower of Bridget's mystical religion, and the opium that Bridget gave him wasn't free.

Such a life is almost hopeless.

Of course, Ediz is still trying to find a way. For example, this time, he took the initiative to win the opportunity to fool Li Ang.

This chance of risking his life would allow him to reduce his debt a little and get his little blob of opium ointment.

This little bolus of opium seemed to be quite a rare commodity when Brigi stopped doping the troops...

When a person is down and out, it is indeed very sad. Everyone struggling at the bottom has their own difficulties and helplessness.

If this person who is struggling at the bottom still wants to save face, it will be even more difficult.

Eddez is obviously shameless - he doesn't even want to meow like a stray cat, and he has a lot of self-esteem.

But perhaps Ediz was lucky. The task he won for opium gave him a chance to truly change his destiny.

"Tomorrow you can pay back your debt, and I will give you three thousand dinars."

Li Ang stared into Ediz's eyes: "Go back to Bridget and tell him that I already believe that you are Ramon's subordinate..."

"Wait! Master Li Ang, I will not be an assassin for money... I can leave my employer because his behavior has made me lose my honor. But I can't assassinate him again, this is the bottom line of being a human being... Although I also hope that he will be killed, but the person who kills him cannot be me."

Ediz interrupted Li Ang's words, and did not avoid Li Ang's sight, speaking quite seriously.

Most of Singal's mercenaries do have this sense of honor.They do believe in dinars, but they do have a bottom line when they are mercenaries. This is a code of conduct that has gradually formed in the chaotic place of Singal for hundreds of years-you can be deceived, you can disrespect the gods, or you can leave Employers, but you must never attack the employer who pays.

In fact, Singal riders and spearmen are quite popular in the mercenary industry. Even in the face of a lot of temptations, they will not attack their employers, and at most steal things and run away.

Perhaps, no matter which continent they are in, it is the people at the bottom who retain these senses of honor and morality.

But the problem was that Addiz was a junkie now—it was rare for a junkie to retain such a sense of honor.

So Li Ang laughed, he felt that someone like Ediz was just right for his plan.

"Ediz...I didn't intend to ask you to assassinate Bridget, besides, I don't think you are a killer..."

Li Ang grinned and shook his head: "I just need you to pay back the money owed to Bridget—that is, I gave you a sum of money, because I believed that you are Ramon's subordinate, and this is my The cooperation payment for Ramon. Tomorrow night, I will personally lead the team to enter Toba City through that secret door, so that Brigi is ready to catch me... Do you understand? Repeat what I said. "

Eddie memorized it honestly, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, Lisa Dilan, go and get him three thousand dinars, send him to Toba City, and go with him to investigate the so-called secret door by the way."

Li Ang nodded, indicating that Eddie could leave.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with this job, it was just taking advantage of Brigi's plan to deceive Li Ang, it was not too difficult, it was just a word.

Although Ediz knew that Li Ang was going to counter-ambush Bridge, as long as he didn't stab his employer to death with his own hands - as long as he paid off the debt owed to Bridge, Bridge would no longer be his. The employer is dead, and after that, no matter how Li Ang deals with Bridget, it has nothing to do with him.

So the Singalian rider rode back to Toba City again with a huge money bag-with Lisa Dilan watching secretly, Ediz didn't dare to take the money and run away.

Not long after, Risa Dilan and Klose came back together.

"My lord, that drug addict did enter Toba City through a secret door from the west... It seems that Bridget was well prepared to deceive you. That door should be used to transport excrement out of the city. You can indeed ride a horse, even a carriage. Can come in and out."

Lisa Dilan first described the secret door, and then asked the lord: "But, my lord, do you really think that Addiz can do what you say? He doesn't look like a liar, and he seems to like to pretend claims that..."

"I don't care at all whether he will do what I say, as long as he returns the three thousand dinars to Brigid... Do you think Brigid thinks that the money I handed over to Ediz must be Far more than these three thousand dinars? Even so much that Ediz doesn't care about three thousand dinars anymore..."

Li Ang shook his head and said, "I just need Brigitte to believe that I will really attack through the secret door. I don't need anything else. I hope he can survive. In fact, he should be a kind person..."

Ediz probably didn't realize that Li Ang asked him to bring the [-] dinars to prove that Li Ang had already believed the scam of 'attacking through the secret door' passed on by Ediz.

After all, Eddiz pretended to be Ramon's subordinate to pass on the information, and Leon paid him a large sum of money, which seemed to be the final payment for Ramon—this meant that Li Ang believed Eddez's words.

Of course, this was to convince Brigitte that Li Ang would indeed attack from the secret door tomorrow night. He would definitely place the main force near the secret door, and he would also guard the secret door all night.

Then, Li Ang can launch a direct frontal attack the morning after tomorrow, and then send elites to attack from both sides through the secret door when Brigi transfers the exhausted troops to the front wall.

Useful tactics are often not too complicated. When the enemy's main force is determined to be exhausted, attacking the city from the front is also a good choice.

The time limit for Li Ang's attack on the secret door may only be half a day away, but this half day is likely to be fatal to Bridget, and the exact timeliness is actually 'time'.

Except, that would actually put Additz in danger—Bridge would presumably torture Additz about where the rest of the money was.

After all, in Brigi's opinion, if a big boss like Ramon can actively provide intelligence services, then Li Ang will definitely settle a large sum of money for Ramon...

Moreover, Brigitte also knew that Ramon was auctioning off the city lord. This kind of thing involving the position of the city lord must have involved far more than [-] dinars.

In fact, this is why Leon had to kill Bridget.

Not because Bridget tried to control Leon with poison, or because of the guy's immoral ways, but because Bridget caught Ramon's men, and must have pressed a lot of things from Ramon's men .

Since Ediz can know the contact information agreed between Ramon and Leon, it means that Ramon's men should have confessed everything they knew after being arrested.

It's just that Ramon probably didn't tell his subordinates about the auction of Bahad Khan's position, so Ediz—or Brigi thought that Li Ang came to D'Shar to launch the 'Battle of Dignity'.

In fact, most people might think so. After all, the De'Shar Duchy was once a vassal duchy of the Pendor Kingdom, and the Sarleon Kingdom has always claimed to be inherited from the Pendor Kingdom.

Although the De'Shar became independent in the second year after the founding of the Sarleon Kingdom, the Sarleon Kingdom certainly would not recognize its independence. You still need your face.

The capital city was attacked by a former vassal state, and it was necessary for the Sarleon Kingdom to fight back.Otherwise, it will appear that the Sarleon Kingdom is weak, and maybe other countries will find an excuse to declare war.

If it is an equal country, such as between the Sarleon Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire, they can show weakness to lure the enemy, they can try their best, or they can admit defeat, and that's fine.

But in the face of the former vassal state, it is impossible to show weakness, not at all.

This is the face of the kingdom.

The capital of the Sarleon Kingdom was attacked by Bahad Khan Kadan, so the Sarleon Kingdom should attack Toba City, the capital of Desha, either to kill Kadan or capture Toba.

Anyway, at least Kadan's territory will be turned upside down. This is not only a retaliatory counterattack, but also the response that the Lion Kingdom should respond to provocations.

It is estimated that Kadan also thinks so, so he will hire Brigi to strengthen the military power of Toba City.

But the problem is, the Marshal of the Lion Kingdom is Li Ang...

In fact, Li Ang doesn't care much about the face of the Lion Kingdom, he cares more about those more practical things.

For example, your own safety, and whether your plan will succeed.

Brigitte knew too much. In order to avoid any accidents in the plan, Brigitte had to die in Toba City.

…………

Late at night, in the city of Toba.

Eddie has already met Bridget.

Just as Leon expected, Ediz has been tied up, and the three thousand dinars have fallen into Brigi's hands, but Brigi doesn't think it's a debt paid by Eddis...

"Ediz, you should understand that this is a mission, and I should distribute the loot obtained during the mission. This is my rule here... Tell me, where did you hide the other dinars?"

Bridget held a whip in his hand, and his face was a bit hideous.

"Nothing else, that's all...and it's not a booty, it's my windfall! Bridget, let me go! I've paid off my debts, and you're no longer my employer!"

Eddie gritted his teeth and stared wide-eyed, obviously Bridget's behavior exceeded his expectations.

"Okay, even if I'm not your employer... But I can make you owe me money again at any time! Give him medicine!"

Bridge stood behind Ediz, lashed Eddie's back a few times with a whip, and then directed a woman to give him medicine.

The woman wore a half-covered helmet that hid everything above her mouth so that her face could not be seen.

This should be Brigi's 'Omen Seeker'.

"What is this! I don't eat this..."

Edith gritted his teeth and turned his head to dodge, but the woman pinched his chin and raised his head.

This action caused Eddez to look up from the bottom, and see the face of the omen seeker through the half-covered helmet.

"It's you!"

Ediz stopped struggling and stared closely at the omen seeker: "Are you Brigi's subordinate? You lied to me from the beginning according to Brigi's order? Brigi! You bastard! Uh uh ..."

The omen seeker didn't say anything, just smiled contemptuously, poured a cup of dark liquid into Eddez's mouth, and blocked his chattering mouth.

"As I said, I can make you owe me money at any time... Ediz, tell me where is the dinar that Li Ang gave you? He can't just give Ramon three thousand dinars..."

Bridget, apparently convinced that Eddiz had more money hidden away, swung the whip again.

But Ediz stopped talking, just looked at the omen seeker in front of him with red eyes, gritted his teeth and endured the whipping without saying a word.

This kind of torture will not be fruitful after all, after all, Eddie really has no hidden money.

In the end, Brigitte could only put Ediz in the jail in Toba City.

Of course he won't kill Ediz, after all he thinks that Ediz must have hidden a lot of dinars... He will wait until Ediz's drug addiction kicks in, at that time, asking anything will have results.

But the next afternoon, Addiz was gone.

To be precise, Ediz escaped from the prison in Toba City - he was able to quietly stun the sentries outside the Leon barracks, and his skills were actually very good.

Bridget is unaware of Eddiz's escape, as he's too busy laying an ambush near the secret door...

At the same time, Li Ang's troops began to slowly march towards Tuoba City.

Launching an march in the afternoon, this kind of movement is obviously unreasonable-usually, the attackers march in the early morning.They set off in the afternoon, and they had to deploy siege equipment when they got to the city. By the time they were ready to attack the city, it might already be dark.

This situation also means that Li Ang's army should not launch a frontal attack.

Bridget strengthened his confidence. He felt that Li Ang was only using the army as a cover, so he must enter the city through a secret door...

So he arranged most of the elites to ambush near the river in the west of the city and in the slums in the city—that is, the inside and outside of the secret door.

Li Ang's army did not attack the city, they were only focused on building siege facilities.

And Bridget waited all night near the secret door, but he did indeed wait for a troop.

Those were actually about two hundred people brought by Lisa Dilan. They were not elite soldiers, but some recruits who were in charge of guarding the night shift and doing odd jobs...

Lisa Dilan led them around the secret door all the time, neither approaching nor far away.

There was only starlight at night, and the lights were dark. Brigitte felt that this was probably the elite brought by Li Ang, so he kept up his energy and prepared for the battle.

But this team kept going back and forth, but never came in, which made Bridger feel empty.

As a result, Brigitte and his elite staff waited in ambush near the secret door all night, but Lisa Dilan just led the team of recruits for a whole night...

　Thanks to all my friends for their support all the time.

　　In the new year, I wish you all a wealth of wealth and success.
