Riding and Slashing

Chapter 289 Spy and Nail

At this time, the city of Toba had already hung a banner with complicated patterns. The pattern of the flag was light yellow smoke patterns extending outward from the void, generally showing a state of chaos intertwined with light and dark.

That was the banner of the Order of the Dusk, from Alistair.

Li Ang's large army had already left Toba City and marched towards Mount Ghazi, but he left Alistair here, along with Eric and several hundred of the most loyal non-commissioned officers.

Competent and loyal people always take on more difficult tasks...

Of course, staying in Tuoba City is dangerous. If something happens, you may not be able to escape in the face of the [-]-mile desert.

But Eric took the initiative to invite Ying to be the queen. Although he is not very good at martial arts, he has enough brains and courage.

This guy who went all the way from a mercenary to a consul is a natural big-time player, and he will not panic under any circumstances-this is the most important quality of a person who does big things.

"Sir Eric, I was ordered to report to you! Are you sure you want to evacuate here?"

A knight came with thirty cavalry from the north on horseback, and came to Eric to report as soon as he arrived at the barracks.

But Brennus has not responded, so the matter has come to an end.

Eric sighed: "But, if he is a member of the Three Prophets, then Fawcett... is it too?"

This Ellen was originally the Lord of Trublen appointed by Malbert, but it stands to reason that he is already dead!
But now he came back from the dead and became Fawcett's subordinate—both of which are very special.

"Maybe Fawcett thinks that Lord Leon doesn't know Ailian." Grandlon frowned: "Forget it, we just report the situation to Lord Leon truthfully, and leave the judgment to Lord Leon. Anyway, I can be sure that Ailian Lian must be someone from the Three Prophets, as long as he can report the situation to the Three Prophets."

Fawcett's fief is in the eastern region, and he can be regarded as Li Ang's subordinate.But Payne of Grand Long is in the Beibu Gulf, of course it can only be a dark line.

Emile Xerxes had already paid 100 million dinars in Singal, which was gold worth 40, plus a mine worth 60.

The knight named Ailian had a scar on his nose. He was Fawcett's subordinate, that is, the scout captain who was sent by Li Ang to patrol thirty miles north of Toba City.

Emile Xerxes and Bridget looked at each other, and both pursed their mouths. They probably thought it was weird, but after thinking about it carefully, what Li Ang said was right...

A tall and thin middle-aged man stepped out of the darkness.

He was killed by Fawcett once, and Fawcett must have recognized him, but he became Fawcett's subordinate again, which meant that Fawcett was probably also controlled by the three prophets!

It wasn't until Ailian disappeared from sight that he turned his head and asked in the dark: "Are you sure he is really a member of the Three Prophets? This is Fawcett's subordinate, don't make a mistake..."

He brought Emil Xerxes over to 'deliver'...

Eric quickly pulled out a few horses from the stables: "Tell Miss Amy about these things, she knows what to do! I'll wait for Lord Leon here."

Brigitte was stunned, then sighed and said to Emile Xerxes: "Alistair was captured by Earl Leon in Toba City... I really saw it with my own eyes."

But this time, Grandlon found a very special nail - this is Ellen, he is very likely to be a member of the Three Prophets.

"Ai Lian, you probably don't know Lord Li Ang very well... The Lord's order is to let me be in charge of logistics affairs, and all other troops except me have to withdraw to Sarleon. From what I know about Lord, there should be no more battles to be fought here. ..."

Fawcett has been taken as a scapegoat by the lord, and Grand Long is no exception...

Li Ang glanced at Bridget with a smile on his face.

Emile Xerxes felt a little baffled.

But Eric believes that everything he has now comes from the lord, and he does not intend to serve anyone other than Li Ang.

"Ha, Lord Li Ang never cared whether you killed the general or captured the flag, he only cared about whether you obeyed the command [-]% - as long as you acted according to the order of the Lord, no matter whether you fought or not, you will be meritorious. Feel free to withdraw Go, you must have your share of the military exploits!"

"Aren't you going to capture the city of Tuoba? Sigh... Before sending out troops, Lord Fawcett told me to work hard in front of Lord Li Ang... But this expedition, until now, I have not participated in the battle, and the sword has not been stained with blood... ..."

Emile Xerxes didn't hesitate, and was ready to inspect the goods.

Resurrection from the dead means that he has a high probability of being a member of the Three Prophets;

Ailian sighed: "I don't even know how to explain to Lord Fawcett when I go back."

Because the baron of the Sarleon Kingdom must swear allegiance to the king, which is directly granted by the king.

This is Grandlon.

"But Lord Li Ang is probably still on his way from Singal to here...Grand Long, you should go back to Sarleon Realm immediately and find Miss Amy!"

…………

Eric smiled: "The large army must not move as fast as you, I know you want to be with Lord Li Ang, go quickly."

"Since Alistair has been captured by you, why is his banner still displayed in the city?"

Later, after Li Ang added Malbert to his list of major clients, he began to ask people to collect all the information related to Malbert, and only then did he really notice the specialness of Ailian.

"Yeah, Bridget must be aware that Sir Alistair of the Twilight Knights is currently in the city of Toba... He is a free gift from me, and there is no charge."

Ai connected the bag of money, but just hung it on his waist, without even counting: "I have been spying on the military situation in the north of Toba City before, but I haven't found any abnormalities - for the scouts, there is no abnormality." That's like no credit..."

In fact, Li Ang didn't forget what Fawcett said. When cleaning the jurisdiction of Changhe Town, he killed a baron nicknamed 'Captain' in Trublen, and he was a Lion Knight under Brennus.

Eric was obviously fooling around, but Ailian never knew the specific battle situation, and there was indeed a banner of the Twilight Knights on the city...

It's just that Fawcett is the butcher in the open, while Grandlon is the hound in the dark.

"Emile Xerxes Khan, I will not enter the city of Toba, anyway, you have seen that the city is intact."

So in the end it was Ramon who got the mine, but he would directly provide Li Ang with a steady stream of iron ore.

The other 100 million final payment of Emile Xerxes should have been settled when it was delivered to Toba City.

Eric patted Ailian on the shoulder: "Besides, there is no point in attacking Tuoba City again. All the property in the city has been brought out."

Eric shook his head: "I think, if Fawcett has a problem, then he shouldn't be stupid enough to send Ailian out to join the army, right? Doesn't he know that this will make Lord Leon suspect him?"

"I'm afraid... yes."

Since then, Li Ang has arranged for Grand Long to investigate secretly, but at that time only the 'captain' was found to be named Ailian, who was Lord Trubrun appointed by Malbert when he was the governor of Changhe Town.

Grand Long also sighed: "Fausert said that he had killed Ailian, but he took Ailian under his command, which is unreasonable..."

The mine was originally used to bid for Eichkeman, and it was an open-pit iron mine located in the east of Yaxing Village.

The former flag officer of the First Banner Guard of Lion Lake City is now Li Ang's spy, and Eric is his contact person.

Ai Lian nodded and saluted, and left with his cavalry.

Fawcett really needs to guard the town house in the Changhe Township area, but Grand Long actually came to Desha with the army, but he didn't bring any troops.

"In that case... Bridget, go and have a look in the city."

Moreover, Grand Long, the Lord of Payne, seems to have nothing to do with Li Ang...

Li Ang brought Emile Xerxes outside the city of Toba and stopped: "Let's settle the settlement here."

This time when the army was dispatched, Li Ang also had to guard against infiltration from the dark, so he asked Grand Long to find nails—there must be nails.

"We are going to evacuate De'Sha... Ailian, withdraw all your people to the Sarleon Realm. Your mission has been completed. This is a reward specially left for you by Master Li Ang."

Li Ang took it for granted: "Besides, if you really fly under my banner, who of you would dare to enter the city?"

Although Li Ang said to Fawcett at the time, 'I'm not interested in knowing the name of a dead man', how could he really not care about such a thing as killing a royal knight?

The most important thing about secret spies is not to let people see their identities. Letting a group of specially trained dead faces be secret spies is actually easy to show their flaws.

Li Ang began to ask for money: "Pay the money and deliver the goods, we agreed. So far, you have only paid half of it, and there is still a balance of 100 million, and the next business can only be settled after settlement."

"Then... I'll go after the big troops. Did Lord Li Ang take the big troops to the direction of Mount Gaqi? I don't know if there will be any battles to fight along the way to withdraw the troops. I have to get some credit!"

From the looks of it, although Li Ang was always fair when evaluating military merits, and he was not forgotten in the distribution of rewards, Ailian still wanted to make more military merits.

But at that time, he was only suspicious, and hadn't figured out what this Ai Lian was about.

"You can't be wrong... This Ellen is the Baron Trublen who was killed by Fawcett back then, he is the 'captain'—he should have died in Trublen long ago, I see There is also such a scar on his nose before his corpse!"

They are all used for black work.

The current Bahad Khan Kadan's coat of arms is the sun's rays, while the coat of arms of Emir Xerxes is the crescent moon. The two brothers are clearly opposed...

Eric shook his head in thought, and murmured, "How could someone like Fawcett make such a mistake? Unless... that's not Fawcett anymore!"

Eric shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not good at skills, so Lord Leon usually won't let me participate in tough battles... Toba City is now occupied by the Twilight Knights and Bridget, that Alistair It's not easy to deal with, Master Li Ang decided to accept it as soon as it is good."

"Then... Earl Leon, how do you plan to get me the title of Bahad Khan?"

"Ha, you have to settle this sum first, Amir Khan..."

"Sir Eric, I haven't accomplished anything by coming out this time. Does Lord Li Ang want the whole army to withdraw to the Sarleon Realm?"

"This Ai Lian wants to know the whereabouts of Lord Li Ang with all his heart... But he must never have imagined that Lord Li Ang is not in the army at all."

But how could someone like Li Ang let the employees idle?

Originally, there was nothing special about the 'Captain Allen' itself, but he was very good at dealing with bandits and bandits, and all of them were already dead, so Li Ang just asked Grandlon to keep an eye on him to see if Brennus would mess with him because of this. whats the matter.

Grand Long was terrified: "It's possible!"

"If my banner is flying in the city, how can I hand over the city of Toba to you? I am the marshal of the Sarleon Kingdom. If my banner is hung on the city, it means that the Sarleon Kingdom has officially occupied the city. I came here—and then I sold you the occupied city behind my back? Then can I go back to Sarleon Land?"

Eric can indeed be called a knight now. He is an official knight under Leon and has been holding important positions. In fact, Leon can even get him a baron title, but Eric is not willing.

Grand Long is now the lord of Payne Village. Ever since he was cleared of treason with the help of Li Ang, he has been keeping a low profile, as if he disappeared.

Emile Xerxes saw that Toba City had indeed been completely delivered, and his confidence in Li Ang was obviously stronger.

Eric withdrew from Toba City with his non-commissioned troops, handing over control of several city gates to Bridget's troops.

Eric handed a money bag to the knight.

Moreover, Ramon subcontracted the iron ore management rights to several slave owners in one day—for this kind of industry that required a large number of slaves to work, Ramon knew countless subcontractors.

"Thank you for your advice, goodbye!"

A few days later, Li Ang returned to Tuoba City again.

For most warriors in Sarleonland, this is a manifestation of chivalry, that is, 'single loyalty'-only loyal to the lord they swore to follow, and as for the king... long life to him.

"its not right……"

Eric looked at Ailian's back and frowned.

Emile Xerxes looked up at the flag on the city of Toba, and frowned: "Is that the flag of the Twilight Knights?"

Just like the 'Viper' secret spy force under Governor Justus, except that Li Ang didn't deliberately organize a force, but let Grandlon carry out his mission 'inadvertently'.

Of course, it is not convenient for Li Ang to mine this iron ore, but Ramon is willing to take this job - Ramon was originally looking for industries other than slave trading.

Of course, there will be no problem with the goods. Not long after, the crescent flag of Emile Xerxes was raised in the city, and nearly a thousand mob troops also settled in Toba City. It was brought by Emir Xerxes and Brigitte together. of the rebels.

From the very beginning, Li Ang was suspicious of Ailian, and even deliberately sent him to patrol the desert thirty miles outside Tuoba City, just because Grandlon suspected that Ailian was a nail...

Ai Lian looked loyal and only wanted to make contributions.

"Earl Leon, where is your army?"

Emil Xerxes popped up this question out of the blue.

"It's thirty miles to the northeast. Don't worry, I'm very honest in my business, and I won't rob you—there are only a few hundred people around me now. You can't deal with me, and I can't deal with you..."

Li Ang looked at Emile Xerxes, shook his head and smiled: "But if you don't plan to pay, then I can definitely call back the army to capture Toba again..."
