Riding and Slashing

Chapter 280 The Usurper

Alistair probably does know a lot of information, but he is not in a good condition right now, so he can't interrogate him yet.

In fact, his life was not in danger, nor did he fall into a coma, and even the wound on his crotch was treated by Jocelyn, and it was no longer bleeding.

Jocelyn showed some kindness towards Alistair. After all, he was his former comrade-in-arms, and the two had indeed had friendship.

However, since Alistair was hit by Li Ang's sword of cutting off sons and grandchildren, he has been staring blankly and lost his mind, ignoring everything, even when Jocelyn took off his pants to treat the wound, he didn't respond at all.

The state of the whole person is basically the same as that of a male cat who has just undergone neutering surgery, which perfectly interprets what is meant by 'life without love'.

This is understandable, any man who gets cut of that thing will definitely be depressed.

It wasn't until Jocelyn handed him a small clay pot sealed with wax that he had a little reaction—he hugged the small clay pot tightly in his arms, and began to cry silently.

In that jar was half of Jocelyn's taken out from Alistair's crotch...'stump'.

Li Ang couldn't force him to question this loveless guy for the time being—Alistair couldn't ask questions in his current state, and his current hostility towards Li Ang must be at its peak.

"My lord, do you want them to change into the equipment of the omen seeker?"

The Wind Rider spoke a little angrily, because he saw all this with his own eyes...

Obviously, the mysterious sect of Brigi is actually a sect branch of the dark goddess Ereda; and Brigi's troops are probably one of the ways that the Knights of the Twilight 'correct' the Knights of the Dawn - to support a 'Desert Prophet' , Let him do bad things in the name of the gods.

Li Ang guessed that Ereda, the goddess of darkness, and Astalia, the goddess of justice, are probably twins. There are two wills in one godhead, and they will compete for control—in fact, they are split personalities.

And Bridget...

"No, Eric, just declare martial law and order that no one is allowed to go to the streets. There is no need to clean up the city, and we don't need to attract hatred... Anyway, I don't plan to be stationed in the city."

Bahad Khan Kadan met a D'Shar Wind Rider from Toba City in the castle of Tahir, the lord of Singal.

It is understandable that Li Ang does not occupy the city. Most people with a little brain can realize that Toba City cannot become Li Ang's territory, so it is normal for Li Ang to only take away wealth and not occupy the city.

Of course, these two positions were originally mainly for the convenience of Eric to control those businessmen.

Usually, after occupying the enemy's city, the conqueror will call the residents together to announce some orders or policies.

Brigitte, who walked across the desert, moved much slower than the Wind Rider who was deliberately released from Toba City by Li Ang...

At this time, Brigitte was struggling to cross the desert.

Li Ang planned to get some information from Ediz first.

Tahir covered his slapped face, and there was anger in his eyes: "Bahad Khan, I admit that this is because I don't know the person... But it is impossible for Brigi to control Toba City in a short time, as long as Write his reward to every tavern, and the head of this usurper will soon appear before you..."

It wasn't until more than ten years ago that the Buckley Empire expelled the Knights of the Dawn after the comprehensive advancement of technology, the religious power was greatly weakened, and it was difficult for the church to interfere in the royal politics.

But this Wind Rider couldn't tell the difference...

The eunuch was gradually able to talk to Jocelyn. Although most of the time it was self-pity, not any real communication, but Alistair's resentment itself could actually show a lot of intelligence.

In fact, Li Ang felt that the Goddess of Darkness should probably be called the "God of Evil", because the forces that believed in Eredar were basically not decent.Probably just because no one wants to believe in the self-proclaimed God of Evil, so the title of 'Darkness' was given.

Walking outside the inner castle, Li Ang turned his head and asked Wendy behind him: "Where are those female knights? Call them here... and find some equipment for the Omen Seeker by the way."

Li Ang nodded.

Those omen-seekers were fake too.

"Master Li Ang, I only know that Brigitte once said that he wanted to build a 'Kingdom of God', but I don't know much about him... At first I thought he was a kind person who generously lent me money."

When they are united, they can already be regarded as the embryonic form of a theocracy kingdom. This structure is actually the structure of the Buckley Empire many years ago-since hundreds of years ago, the emperors of the Buckley Empire needed to be crowned by the Pope. Otherwise it would not be considered orthodox.

This instead means risk.

Eddie replied.

He should really not know much, or else he would not know how to be deceived.

The invitation card in Cardan's hand fell to the ground - it was an invitation card from Ramon's auction, made of gold leaf.

As for who will get Toba... It really doesn't matter to Li Ang, anyway, it is difficult for the Sarleon Kingdom to exercise effective rule here.

……

However, the inner fort and the silver treasury have indeed been completely taken over. The silver treasury has not been counted yet, but the materials stored are not too much. It is estimated that the inventory inside can be worth 50 dinars-this is for a treasury. It is simply too little.

Of course, this 'Bridge' who claimed to 'establish the Kingdom of God' in Toba was made by the lord to pretend to be Eddie.

The three prophets were originally priests of Astalia, the goddess of justice - obviously, they originally came from the continent of Buckley.

When Li Ang attacked the city, he deliberately arranged for addicts to go up the city wall, disrupting the deployment of the city defense, which is an ironclad proof of collusion with the enemy;
Then when he insisted on street fighting in the city to resist, he suddenly disappeared again, which is also ironclad evidence;
But when Li Ang left Toba City, Brigitte reappeared in the inner fort, and sat on the throne of Bahad Khan, and declared that Toba would become the "capital of the Kingdom of God"... This is definitely usurping the throne up.

"My lord, manpower has been arranged everywhere in the city. Do you need to clear all the residents in the city to the streets... I mean, do you want to publicly execute those prisoners?"

But now that the merchants were not in the team, Eric's main responsibility became to convey instructions to other lords, that is, to dispatch those small lords who joined the army but were not under Li Ang's direct subordinates.

Fortunately, all of them are high-value hard currencies such as gold, silver and velvet, so they are very convenient to carry.

"Supreme Bahad Khan, the city of Toba is occupied by the enemy...but it is not Leon from the Sarleion Kingdom who occupies Toba City, but that bastard Brigi!"

Li Ang took away the gold and silver goods in the treasury of Toba City, but did not occupy Toba City, but left the city to 'Bridge'.

In the eyes of most people, as long as Toba is captured, Li Ang will be considered to have fulfilled the mission of leading an army, which is to prove the dignity of the Sarleon Kingdom, and he can also make up for all losses from the treasury of Toba City.

The inner castle was basically undamaged, but the warehouse in the castle was basically empty. Obviously, Cardan took away most of the valuable things.

In addition, like the Knights of the Dawn, he claimed to "kill the evil spirits", and the method of killing the evil spirits was also the way of the Knights of the Dawn to judge by fire;

If there is no resistance at all, and nothing happens quietly, it can only mean that there must be many De'Sha fighters loyal to Kadan hiding in the houses.

Cardan wanted to recruit troops everywhere, and it was expected that he would take away most of his belongings.

After sending Ediz away, Li Ang first started to deal with the battle in Toba City.

Li Ang didn't want Ramon to be killed by Kadan.

In the past few days, Li Ang got some information from Jocelyn one after another, and the information came from Alistair.

"My lord, Brigi has already escaped, how can a person who has already escaped not be able to see Kadan?"

He didn't ride a horse when he escaped from Toba City, and in order to avoid being followed, he didn't dare to go to the surrounding villages and towns to find means of transportation.

Because the D'Xia people in the city were only afraid of Li Ang's army and no longer resisted openly for the time being, but there must still be many rebels secretly hiding in the city, and Li Ang must always be on guard against assassinations or sneak attacks.

Those female knights were the eight female explorers sent by Amy. Sarah and Sigismund went to Gazi Holy Mountain together. These eight female trainee knights temporarily served as Leon's guards together with Wendy.

And Toba City is currently closed and closed, and it is quite quiet, but this is not the state that a city that has just been conquered should have.

In the eyes of this wind-rider, all this is obvious—Bridge has colluded with Li Ang, Li Ang wants wealth, and Bridge wants Toba City, each takes what he needs.

Sometimes you don't need to kill people if you want to eliminate the threat, you just need to act...

Eric's martial arts is not good, so he basically doesn't need to go to the battlefield during combat. His main job in the group army is the palm print officer, and he also serves as the logistics officer-in fact, these are the two highest civilian positions in the army.

The Twilight Knights are representatives of the ruling class who believe in the dark goddess Ereda, that is, the 'secular aristocratic forces'.

The Dusk Knights' mission to capture Li Ang this time is obviously related to the Three Prophets.

But even this sentence is enough.

"Bridge?! What's going on?"

Four days later, Singal.

In fact, the lord is not sure whether Bridget was hired by Cardan, but in any case, Brigitte cannot be allowed to see Cardan, otherwise Ramon may face big trouble.

Sometimes the policy will be mild - this is when the conqueror intends to rule the place for a long time;
And more often, the order will be very cruel, even cruel - for example, when it is necessary to attract the rebels hidden among the residents, some captives may be publicly executed in a brutal way.

Wendy expressed her incomprehension.

The Three Prophets are probably the spokespersons of the Goddess of Darkness. They are the real prophets of the sect. After all, they can indeed use the divine power of Eredar—that is to say, the Three Prophets are 'church forces'.

What's more, Bridget didn't realize at all that his own employer had also identified him as a usurper—just as he, as Eddez's employer a few days ago, had also believed that Eddez was secretly hiding money.

Being able to cross the [-]-mile desert from Tuoba City to Singal within four days, this Wind Rider really risked his life, and he was obviously a loyal minister and good general.

And the Twilight Knights, with the purpose of 'correcting' the Dawn Knights, appeared here to cooperate with him...

"It's very simple, you just need to make him afraid to see Kadan... Toba City has Kadan's trusted troops 'Wind Rider', they will definitely tell Kadan everything that happened in the city-so , there is no need to eliminate them, let them report to Kadan."

And Brigi's way of doing things is very strange, like a fusion of the Knights of Dawn, Knights of Dusk and the Three Prophets - he calls himself a 'desert prophet', uses poison to control his men, and uses deception to strengthen the team. ;

In fact, there will always be some sporadic resistance in general cities.

As for Bridget and his team of addicts, there is a high probability that they are the cannon fodder that was jointly supported by the Three Prophets and the Twilight Knights to do dirty work...

The D'Shar Wind Rider was covered in dust and exhausted, but he still brought the news to Kadan without a moment's rest.

And now they have also converted to the Goddess of Darkness. Although they have always claimed to "correct the Knights of the Dawn", the Knights of the Dusk have not done any good deeds. They will not burn, kill and loot in the name of gods like the Knights of the Dawn.

"Looks like Briggs will indeed escape... Ediz, what else do you know about Bridges? Where do you think he's going?"

Or it's called a split godhead...

After all, it was done by the lord himself.

Coupled with some of his own analysis, the lord basically has a score in his heart.

You always have to pay back when you come out to hang out...

Li Ang shook his head, turned his head and walked outside the inner castle, and ordered while walking: "Seal the door of the inner castle, let Klose empty the bank in the city, and don't leave anything valuable..."

An angry Kadan turned his head to look at Tahir beside him, and slapped him: "Didn't you say that Brigi is reliable?"

Wendy cleverly guessed Li Ang's plan.

Eric's intention is obviously the latter - he knows that his boss does not intend to occupy Tuoba City for a long time, he only needs to completely clear Tuoba City to ensure safety.

Li Ang smiled: "I intend to make Bridget a 'usurper'!"

The lord had an idea at that time: "Ediz, what kind of equipment did Bridget wear last night? Go and get a set that is exactly the same..."

Now, they are disciples of Eredar, the goddess of darkness.

"That's right...Since Bridget has run away, in order to prevent him from spoiling me, I naturally have to prevent him from seeing Kadan..."

As for Brigi, he is not from Barkley, he is from Singal, but the headquarters of the Dusk Knights is located in Singal.

"Bridge lied to us. He colluded with the army of the Sarleon Kingdom, causing Leon to lead his army to capture the city of Toba. Then Leon took away the silver in the city, and the army of the Sarleon Kingdom also withdrew from Toba City... and Afterwards, Brigi announced that he would establish a new kingdom of God in Toba City! He will become the new Bahad Khan as the 'desert prophet'! He even named several omen seekers as caliphs and Baiyi—— He has usurped the throne!"

Toba City is currently considered to be basically occupied by Li Ang, but it can only be called 'basic occupation' and cannot be called 'complete control'.

In the inner fort of Toba City, Eric began to ask for instructions on how to deal with the follow-up.

When the Dusk Knights first separated from the Dawn Knights, they also believed in the Lady Justice, and they also came from the mainland of Barclay.

Ediz is also a Singalian, and after changing into Bridget's clothes, he can basically distinguish the real one from the real one.

It seems that the Three Prophets and the Knights of the Twilight want to recreate a theocracy in Pendor—this is probably indeed the wish of Ereda, the goddess of darkness.

The Three Prophets and the Knights of the Twilight obviously wanted to subvert the Sarleon Kingdom and the D'Shar Principality, and they might even have agreed on common interests—they might intend to establish a religious country that believed in the Dark Goddess Eredar.

In this way, the Three Prophets can become the Pope or a higher priesthood than the Pope, while the Twilight Knights can become the National Knights, and each Twilight Knight can also become the lords of various places.

As for Brigid—if you want to do great things, you have to make some sacrifices. Brigid's troops are probably used for sacrifices...
