Riding and Slashing

Chapter 270 Lord Lord in a hurry

Li Ang only stayed in Turda Fortress for two hours before marching south again.

During these two hours, he met with Gai Wan Khan, and gave Gai Wan Khan a clear way—unite Bahaman and other lords who did not follow Kadan to attack Sarleon City. Keep it.

The lord said that he was here specifically to trouble Bahad Khan Kadan. This was the Sarleon Kingdom's response to Kadan's outrageous attack on the royal city, and it was a battle of the kingdom's dignity.

In other words, if a D'Shar lord like Gavan Khan has nothing to do with the attack on Sarleon City, if he doesn't want to be crushed, it's best to stay out of the way.

Moreover, what will Bahad Khan Kadan do when his strength is damaged and he faces a strong enemy?
Will you use you lords who are not particularly close to him as cannon fodder?

Judging from the practice of the Inquisition Tribunal going straight to the vicinity of the Turda Fortress, Kadan has already done so, and you, Gawan Khan, were the first to do it!
The way Li Ang gave was actually in line with Gawan Khan's own wishes - not to be cannon fodder for Kadan, but he didn't have to rely on others, he went to find Bahaman by himself, and the two brothers joined forces to keep warm.

Anyway, Li Ang didn't ask him to surrender or do other things that would lose his reputation, and he even said that he would not occupy his territory, the Fortress of Tulda, which is very moral.

So Gaiwan Khan rushed to Aishikeman with the fastest speed, without even bringing soldiers - he wanted to let his brother leave the dangerous place, bring soldiers and horses back to Turda Fortress with him, this fortress is actually more Eichkeman is much safer.

To be honest, if Gaiwan Khan can hold on to the Turda fortress, relying on the fortress's defensive facilities, coupled with his troops' familiarity with the terrain, even if there are only 500 troops, they will be able to block Li Ang's troops in Dexia. No entry from abroad...

After all, more than half of this group army, which seems to have a population of over ten thousand, are merchants, and this time the merchants accompanying the army did not carry a large amount of supplies, but all of them were high-value goods—not only would they not be able to play a role in logistical supplies, but they would also Drag down the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Moreover, those real warriors in the army are actually not suitable for attacking fortifications. They are all mixed troops composed of small lords. It is very troublesome to use this kind of troops to forcibly attack the city-as long as a knight is killed or injured, there is a high probability that the retinue brought by the knight will run away...

If there are a little more followers running, the battlefield will be chaotic, and the whole will look like they have been scattered.

If those businessmen saw such a scene, they might retreat, and once they retreated, there would be a chain reaction.

So when attacking a strong city, he could only use his own troops directly under him, but Li Ang didn't want to suffer any losses in this place, so he should try his best to do as little as possible to attack a strong city.

Besides, he couldn't waste time now.

Time is life, and time is money. Li Ang didn't want the great lord of Dexia to have time to gather his troops. He wanted to take down Eichkeman as quickly as possible, which was a bid for auction.

You have to be efficient when you're dealing with a big business like this—Ramon has been very efficient in his previous work.

Li Ang previously explained that Ramon sent the news to Turda Fortress that "Bahad Khan Kadan hired the Heresy Tribunal."

This news, combined with Sarah's rhetoric, naturally caused Gai Wanhan to be in chaos.

To be honest, the Inquisition of Heresy was indeed recruited by Kadan - Kadan's army was defeated outside the city of Sarleon, and the army of the Kingdom of Sarleon marched towards De'shar. For the Inquisition of Heresy, it was naturally best chance.

But in fact, the Holy Inquisitor of the Heresy Tribunal Rasmus.Defatica was peeping around Singal, but didn't come to Turda Fortress. It is estimated that the Inquisition of Heresy originally wanted to attack Singal.

However, Khalifa Tahir, the lord of Singal, did not follow Kadan to Sarleon, and Singal's strength was not damaged at all, so the Inquisition Tribunal did not act rashly.

However, Li Ang asked Ramon to pass a sentence to Rasmus, the holy inquisitor: "The people who tried the heresy court plundered around the fortress of Turda."

In fact, this was originally the plan of Emperor Marius, and the location information of Rasmus, the Holy Inquisitor, was also provided by Marius.

The small team that claimed to be "trialing heresy" before was the bandits and bandits that Emperor Marius rushed to D'Shar. They were secretly operated by shadow wolves. The territory 'purchases' some horses back.

Well, in the way of zero yuan purchase.

Emperor Mario's original plan was to drive these bandits to "crusade against heresy" to plunder, and then the people of the shadow wolves would be responsible for taking away the stolen horses - just "sell the stolen horses back to Bacchus" That's it, let those robbers go back to the country to collect the money and share the spoils.

After all, they were all bandits from Bacchus. They all knew that horses would be more expensive to sell back to Bacchus, and they were going to return home to share the spoils.

But in fact, Marius only intended to bring the horse back to Bacchus, he didn't intend to let those bandits go back to the country—the Emperor Marius didn't need to pay if no one went back to the country, they were all bandits and robbers anyway, and they all died in Dexia It is considered to be a contribution to Bacchus...

Marius has always known about the existence of the Heresy Tribunal. In fact, he used this method to let these gangsters commit crimes under the banner of the Heresy Tribunal, so as to attract the Heresy Tribunal to attack them...

So Mario originally planned to send someone to pass the news to Rasmus, the leader of the Inquisition Tribunal.

But the Inquisition of Heresy stopped in Singal, and it was difficult for the shadow wolves to contact the Inquisition of Heresy—if those shadow wolves dared to appear in front of Rasmus, the Holy Inquisitor, they would be judged directly '.

So Li Ang expanded the plan a bit, and immediately found Ramon, the boss of Singal.

Therefore, Rasmus, the Holy Inquisitor, led his troops around Singal and headed straight for Turda Fortress—no troop would be happy to see someone looting under their banner, encountering such fake, shoddy and corrupt Fame guy, then he must crack down on fakes first!
Even if their own reputations may not be very good, they still cannot tolerate imitations...

And then, Ramon sent his men to lead the way for the Holy Inquisitor Rasmus, and defeated Gavan Khan's troops near Gasin—this was to bring the Inquisition Tribunal to Gavan Khan's troops on purpose, Ramon The people who work are quite reliable.

In fact, Rasmus, the holy judge, is also a flexible person. He did not kill those bandits and bandits, but recruited many of them.

After all, many people were killed or injured in the battle with Gawan Khan's troops, and they have to be replenished. Anyway, at least in terms of 'judgment of heresies', everyone has a common language, and these guys seem to be very quick when searching for the property of heretics...

But this nimble Holy Inquisitor probably didn't expect that the Singal who led him would take him to the direction of another large army just after he had replenished his manpower...

And again, the same target as Sarah is about to visit.

……

In the desert more than 100 miles north of Aishikman, a tribal settlement named 'Madan' was inexplicably attacked by an army.

This troop seemed to be from the mainland of Buckley, some of them were burly mercenaries or bandits, some were knights in white smocks, and some were monks who seemed powerless.

The mercenaries were the first to attack, followed by the seemingly harmless monks, while the well-equipped knights were ready to intercept the villagers who might escape.

They held blunt weapons of different sizes high in their hands, and waved the weapons in their hands while muttering words.

But the strange thing is that there are not many villagers who have escaped in this village, and... it seems that there are many middle-aged warriors coming out of those earthen houses and tents?

After being attacked, all the villagers in Madan rose up to resist. Almost everyone of them had sabers and horses...

This so-called village is actually a huge military camp!

So a raid turned into an unskilled melee.

The leaders on both sides were asking the same sentence: "What the hell! Where did this army come from?"

After hundreds of people were killed and wounded each, the troops on both sides were completely intermingled and fought inextricably.

The Holy Inquisitor Rasmu Defatika smashed the head of a D'Shar rider with a hammer in his hand, and turned around and shouted angrily: "You are lying to me! Did you bring me here on purpose? "

But no one answered him.

The Singal who led the way had disappeared by this time.

Rasmu Defatika gritted his teeth and turned around, rushing into the place where the D'Shars gathered, the war hammer in his hand set off a bloody storm.

Rasmus was a baptized knight, but he was not a member of the Order of the Dawn.

In fact he might be called a 'Knight of the Church' - before he became a knight, Rasmus was a monk.

Since the Knights of the Dawn came to Pendor Continent, religious rulings have been set off one after another, and various sect tributaries have also spread in the west of Pendor Continent. Rasmus became a monk at that time.

And the Dsha people often go to other countries to plunder, and they will plunder his territory from time to time... Then the Dsha people who believe in Vata naturally become heresies in the eyes of Rasmus.

As a devout believer of the goddess of justice and a monk, Rasmus actually started with the theme of 'saving the fallen' and 'spreading faith'.

He organized some monks and monks and came to the "nest of heresy" - Savannir Desert, where they saw countless wars and killings, so these believers who took saving the world A "redemption" movement has begun in the desert.

But the looting habits of the D'Shar people are hard to change, plus their long-standing belief in Vata, the inspiration of the goddess of justice sometimes doesn't have much effect...

Rasmus was unable to convert the plundering-addicted herdsmen through oral preaching, so he took up the idea of ​​​​conquering by force in the religious field.

Rasmus accepted the baptism of the knight, willing to bear the crime of killing, and armed himself as a 'judge'.

At the same time, he began to hire those mercenaries who 'had the same belief', and began his redemption and purification under the banner of trying heresy.

He claims to be Pendor's Holy Inquisitor, and everyone says that he is Pendor's savior, who wants to get rid of all heresies and false gods in the world, and judge those corrupt beliefs.

Rasmus is a natural commander, he has a flexible mind, extraordinary martial arts skills, and a very charming personal quality - a monk who used to practice asceticism does have many excellent personal qualities.

He is clean, tidy, polite, sincere and never lies, and extremely self-disciplined, never drinks alcohol, and is not close to women.

A person who possesses both great strength and charisma will naturally attract many believers and soldiers to join his ranks.

Moreover, his subordinates believe that Rasmus exists in the continent of Pendor for the purpose of eradicating heresy and purifying heretics. He is the messenger appointed by the goddess to judge heresy-he has no hobbies or vices, and seems to be born to judge heresies and exist.

As a result, the self-proclaimed Holy Inquisitor has been recognized by many believers, even some other tributary sects also agree with the title of Rasmus, the 'Holy Inquisitor'.

Rasmus himself is best at using the warhammer. He believes that the warhammer is a powerful weapon that will not see blood, and can bring the believers tempted by false gods back to their senses.

So Rasmus and their fellow believers uniformly use this weapon as the equipment of the Holy Legion in their hearts, and they call themselves the 'Heretical Inquisition'.

Since Rasmus, the Holy Inquisitor, was not a bloodthirsty person, the Inquisition only took captives and then tried to convert them to stop believing in the false god Vata.

Many people are 'inspired' and then 'voluntarily dedicated' all their possessions to the Goddess.

And those who are "recalcitrant" will be judged by the "holy fire" - as the Dawn Knights said, if there is any sin, the goddess will naturally distinguish...

As far as we know, they have used warhammers and torches to carry out countless "trials" in the Savannir Desert. Rasmus' reputation and team size have also grown rapidly in the past few years.

Up to now, more than 2000 people have followed the Holy Inquisitor.

But if nothing else, they are about to lose half of their staff in Madan Village—or even more.

Because the place of Madan is the family territory of Caliph Bahaman, the lord of Aishikman, and is managed by his son Ikram.

This place is Bahaman's basic territory and the source of his pro-army. After Bahaman became the caliphate, the strength of this tribe is quite strong.

But in the same way, if nothing happens, more than half of Bahaman's tribe will definitely be wiped out by the Tribunal...

The young patriarch Ikram has already started to run away. He is a brave D'Shar warrior, but he knows that he will definitely not be able to defeat him. The Inquisition's military strength is more than twice that of the tribal warriors.

He must return to Aishikeman as quickly as possible, and ask his father for help.

Thousands of people are fighting for life and death, a few women and children are running away, houses are being set on fire, and the sound of bones breaking is one after another.

No one noticed that a beautiful woman was watching all this with cold eyes.

Yes, this is to drive tigers and wolves away.

The lord is in a hurry, this will allow the merchants to enter Eichcoman before the Desha Principality gathers the army, business is important...

Moreover, Li Ang's army can only display its combat effectiveness after the merchants are separated from the army.

A day later, Sarah came to Eichkoman and met Bahaman.

"Honorable Caliph Bahaman... If there is no accident, you have probably met your younger brother Gavan Khan? Maybe you have also met your son Ikram?"

Sarah didn't use her professional smile this time, her expression was very serious: "I am Sarah, Earl Leon's Chief Foreign Affairs Officer."

"...Earl Leon's army...has it come?"

Bahaman looked calm, but his tired face revealed his true heart—he must have not slept all night.

"The army is fifty miles north of Madan Village. You should know what this means...but Earl Leon can show you a clear way—if you want."

Sarah said it very directly, because the current situation in Bahaman is extremely bad, and there is no need to beat around the bush.

"What advice does Earl Leon have? You can just say..."

Bahaman still looked very calm, but his hands had already tightly grasped the armrest of the chair.

"Aishikman's troops are not many, and your tribe has been invaded by the Tribunal, so it is unable to replenish its military strength. Your brother Gavan Khan suffered heavy losses and cannot help you. I won't come to support you, but I might take the opportunity... You should know who summoned the Tribunal, and you should also know that Emperor Marius' fleet is marching towards Eichcoman... The only one in the entire D'Shar territory that can attack in a short period of time The only one who can help you is Earl Leon..."
