Riding and Slashing

The white pole that Sarah mentioned is actually a long wooden pole with horizontal branches at her feet, painted white—it was just now that Sigismund and others supported this wooden pole to create the shape of Sarah's body. Pull the scene floating in the air.

In fact, Sarah is half sitting and half standing on the horizontal branch of the wooden pole. Against the background of snow, it is completely invisible from a distance.

If viewed from below, it would appear that Sarah is on a higher position, but in fact, both she and Sigismund are behind the wall of the temple.

The reason for doing this was not originally to let Sarah 'hang in the air', but to avoid an avalanche...

Sigismund came from the northern Ravencrow Land, where there are many snow-capped mountains, and he knew very well that excessive noise could easily cause an avalanche.

But the location of the temple will definitely not be affected by the avalanche-this is obvious, otherwise the temple would not exist long ago, and it would not be Sigismund's turn to burn it.

So, next to the temple is safe.

That horse wasn't a real horse either, but the head and horse armor of the demon warhorse, which were also supported by wooden poles, and even its posture of attacking Sarah was also made of wooden poles.

The head of the demon war horse was the spoil left by Sigismund after he dealt with the python knight of the fear legion at the seaside.

Keeping the heads of beasts as trophies is a habit that many fighters have, and it is also the capital for bragging in the future.

And the demon war horse has horns on its head, which looks like a combination of a horse and a cow—this is relatively rare, and it can drink at least eight bottles of wine for bragging...

At that time, most of the demon horses were killed by Li Ang's order. After all, they couldn't control them, so they could only remove those horse armors. Anyway, they couldn't leave these terrible mounts to the enemy.

Like those undead knights, the demon horse is also an undead-in fact, after removing the horse armor, it is a mummy. If its brain is not damaged, it will still not die, and its eyes will still glow red.

That's why the iron ring centurion threw five spears and couldn't kill a demon horse.

In fact, when Li Ang demolished these demon horses, his heart was always trembling - if they were not blocked in the sea, if they were allowed to run ashore, these undead creatures in full horse armor would be much more difficult to deal with than the python knight ...

Of course, it was the grenade that created the explosion effect. It wasn't too powerful, but it was more than enough to blow up a set of horse armor.

As for the gunpowder smoke created when Sarah disappeared, it was just igniting some gunpowder directly. After all, the process of Sarah jumping off the wooden pole cannot be seen.

The whole process is to create 'Yunomia defeated Vata'...

Sarah is a good actress. Although she is better at singing and dancing, it is no problem to live broadcast a pantomime scene from a distance. Although her whole body is shaking from the cold, there are no performance accidents.

Allowing devout believers to witness the gods they have worshiped for generations being killed by another god may have a greater effect than killing them directly...

And most importantly, perhaps in the near future, the D'Shar will convert their beliefs...

Of course, not yet.

Right now, all the Dexia people are too busy crying and mourning, not thinking about worshiping another god.

From time to time, devout believers can be seen committing suicide or disembowelment on the spot.

Especially those ascetic monks wearing headbands, most of them killed themselves under the holy mountain.

On the contrary, the few "daoist monks" in gold and silver and brocade robes in the middle looked more sober. They all looked around in a panic, and they had already started running away. They didn't seem to care about God Vata's life at all... …

Although the De'xia herdsmen were numerous and powerful, they basically had no fighting spirit, so the troops of Li Ang and Agathon did not kill too many people.

Li Ang's order was just to disperse the D'Xia people and just bring the horses here - he wanted these D'Xia people who 'witnessed' the killing of God Vata to pass on the news to more people...

Let these monks and herdsmen from the holy mountain tell others that the holy mountain is gone, and the god Vata is gone, which is definitely more effective than the news spread by outsiders.

To be honest, it's really not easy to disperse these D'Shars.

Although they basically have no intention of resisting at all, their current state is like the ancestral grave being struck by lightning. Most of them are relatively sluggish, and they don't know how to dodge when facing swords.

Fortunately, the warriors in the Lion Realm still pay attention to a bit of chivalry, and they don't easily kill those who don't resist. Otherwise, it would be much easier to kill them than to drive them away.

It took Li Ang's troops a combination of pushing, punching and kicking, and it took a long time to gradually break them up.

A few hours later, the foot of the holy mountain was barely cleared.

Most of the D'Shar staggered away - all on foot. Their distraught state was obviously not suitable for riding a horse, so the lord kindly took their war horses.

A small number of people planned to run away from the beginning, so these people were tied up under the holy mountain and became captives.

In fact, most of these captives were the leaders or nobles of some small tribes, as well as those few "successful people"—in fact, Li Ang didn't know how to distinguish the tribe leaders at all, and the soldiers under him consciously captured them. Those who were the first to prepare to run.

It was later discovered that all the nobles who were captured because they tried to run away were nobles from Desia, and the poor herdsmen were indeed mostly more pious.

Of course, there were also a very small number of overly pious people who went crazy on the spot and attacked indiscriminately—then they turned into corpses and piled up in a pile at the foot of the holy mountain.

General Agathon also obtained a large number of horses as he wished, and even the number can be easily counted, which should be close to two thousand, because basically every soldier under his command has two horses.

These warriors of the Bacchus Empire have never raised horses, and they don't know how to drive the horses, so they can only use the led...

"Earl Leon, is that why you asked me to fetch these 'unowned warhorses'?"

Ajiasong no longer doubts whether Li Ang is fooling him, because he has already confirmed that Li Ang is using him to attract firepower!

It's just... Judging from the results, Li Ang really didn't lie to him - he did get a lot of horses, more than he imagined.

"Agathon, there is no need to say thank you..."

Li Ang looked around at the men who were driving the horses, and smiled at Ajiasong: "I will go back to Changhe Town after this ticket is settled, but don't forget the debt you owe me! Otherwise, I will lose money." At any time, there will be sufficient excuses to attack the Bacchus Empire to collect debts!"

grateful?

Agathon was stunned. I stayed on the mountain for more than 20 days. I killed half of the holy mountain and soaked it in blood. I held back thousands of D'Xia people and guaranteed your retreat...

Co-authoring, I have to thank you?
But Ajiasong's words were blocked by the debt, he shook his head and shook Li Ang's hand, hesitating for a while, and finally said only one sentence: "Good method."

It seemed that he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

With so many horses, the task given to him by Emperor Marius must have been overfulfilled;

After destroying the faith of the Dexia people and dispersing the herdsmen at the foot of Gazi Mountain, the safety of Aishikman must be more secure.

This is all something to be happy about.

But the debt owed to Li Ang is really hard to repay...

And as Li Ang said, if the debt is still repaid, then Li Ang can "lead troops to collect the debt" at any time. Ajiasong really does not want to face such an opponent who is good at killing people on the battlefield.

However, Agathon has already asked these days. Many scholars of Bacchus, including Justus, said that Dragon Tears do exist, but they don't know where to find them!
So the famous imperial general took his troops on the road back to Eichkeman with a heavy heart.

At dusk, Li Ang waited for Amir Xerxes at the foot of Mount Ghazi.

Emile Xerxes was indeed dressed like a 'hero' at this time. He was wearing a shiny golden armor, which looked very conspicuous. He also wore a pointed crown helmet on his head, and the saber in his hand was also golden. I'm afraid it doesn't have much lethality, so it can only be used for posing.

He only brought a hundred people with him, but after seeing Leon's flag, Amir Xerxes bravely launched a 'charge' directly.

It looked like a valiant raid with fewer enemies.

And Li Ang's large army began to retreat when facing Emile Xerxes' charge.

This was originally the result of an agreement between Li Ang and Emil Xerxes, but in the eyes of outsiders, Li Ang's troops carried too much spoils and were not suitable for encounters.Facing a surprise attack when the sky is getting dark, it is indeed understandable to retreat directly without knowing the number of enemies.

Thus, those "captives" who were tied up under Mount Ghazi, that is, those eminent monks and nobles from various tribes, were "rescued" by Amir Xerxes.

The next day, Emir Xerxes got his wish and became the real Bahad Khan.

Although the ceremony was very simple and not many people participated, it was still in accordance with the Desha tradition. The election meeting was held under the holy mountain, and the 'coronation' was carried out under the ruined wall of the temple on the holy mountain.

The eminent monks are still trying to rebuild the holy mountain. They claim that the god will not be killed, but just sleep temporarily. As long as the temple is rebuilt, the god Vata will come back and become stronger...

But whether their rhetoric can convince the Dexia people, or whether the rebuilt holy mountain is still the temple of God Vata is hard to say.

Those tribal leaders and nobles lost their own tribes, so they have a new destination - Toba City.

Emil Xerxes got the Bahad khan position and troops he wanted, and he even formed a noble cavalry.

This cavalry is indeed all Dexia nobles, and all members are equipped with Dexia plate armor-this is not a real plate armor, but a riveted armor made of overlapping leather and steel sheets, and its protection is far worse than that of plate armor. But it is more suitable for desert environment.

Emile Xerxes has already drawn a new group of nobles to help him rule the city of Toba.

Coupled with the fact that Alina is holding back Eichkeman, he does now have capital equal to Kadan.

……

Three days later, on the north side of Gazi Mountain, in a valley outside the city of Aishikman.

Emile Xerxes found Li Ang, but at this moment, he was only wearing a black robe and leading a team of horses, looking like a horse dealer.

He came to settle the final payment.

"Emil Khan, where is your golden armor?"

Li Ang asked with a smile.

"That's a gift for you... I packed it in a box."

Amir Xerxes pointed to the cavalry he had brought.

It was hundreds of horses and a dozen carriages. In addition to hay and horse feed, there were some large wooden boxes on the carriages.

"You have the good qualities of being honest and trustworthy, Emile Xerxes the Great Khan, then our transaction is complete..."

Li Ang praised him, but the conversation changed again: "There won't be blood on the things in the box, right?"

Emile Xerxes was silent for a while, and replied blankly: "It's very clean, at least, it's very clean for you... It's collected from the leaders of various tribes."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm not trying to be honest and trustworthy, I just know that if I don't pay, you may sell me to Cardan..."

Li Ang grinned: "You are much smarter than I imagined... Amir Khan, I will not make any more deals with Kadan, don't worry. If you need support, you can go to Ramon for help, such as weapons Necessities like equipment, or combat power like mercenaries—of course, you have to pay.”

"I guess Ramon will say the same thing to Cardan, right?"

Amir Xerxes stared into Li Ang's eyes and asked.

"maybe."

Li Ang replied with a smile: "But you need him, and you need me..."

"Bacchus is right, you are indeed a devil..."

Emile Xerxes whispered something, turned and left.

"Kadan's army has already set off for Tuoba City, you'd better hurry back, or Brigitte may switch to Kadan's arms again."

Li Ang spoke lightly from behind.

Emile Xerxes stopped and turned around: "How...how did you get the news?"

"Because this is Ashkoman. Emil, maybe you don't know..."

Li Ang took out a small knife and threw it in his hand: "Ramon sends news to the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood every day..."

The blade of the knife has a scorpion insignia.

Emile Xerxes showed fear in his eyes, took a deep look at Li Ang, turned his head and left.

"Master Li Ang, why did you scare him with the Scorpio Assassin? Are you worried that he will hire an assassin to deal with you?"

After Emil left, Alina walked out of the valley.

"I didn't scare him. Ramon is indeed helping the Scorpio Assassin take over business."

Li Ang put away the small knife in his hand: "Besides, Scorpio Assassins also do some mercenary business now - if you need them, you can hire them to join the army, but the price is indeed more expensive..."

"I don't need to hire them - if there are enemies coming to attack Ashcomman, the Scorpion Assassins will naturally take action in order to keep their garrison. Why should I spend that unreasonable money?"

Alina is obviously not easy to fool, she is not a D'Shar rebel like Emil, and she doesn't intend to let the arms dealers steal their wool.

"You are as shrewd as Emperor Marius, I even think you are his own daughter..."

Li Ang looked at Alina, shook his head and smiled.

"No, it's mainly because I'm poor... I can't afford to hire them."

Alina kept her eyes on the horses brought by Emil Xerxes: "You promised before..."

"All right, all right... I'll leave these horses to you, as agreed before."

Li Ang sighed: "You are indeed Mario's own daughter... But Alina, after my troops leave the territory of Dexia, Dexia will be more chaotic than before, and Ashkoman will definitely face many dangers. I I suggest you go back to your country as soon as possible, and just let Ikram stay here."

Li Ang's words are indeed well intentioned. If Kadan can't attack Toba City, he will definitely attack Aishikeman's idea.

At the same time, other forces may also make moves, such as Saravan Sheikh and the Tribunal, and even the Three Prophets and the Knights of the Twilight.

There's going to be a lot of chaos in the D'Shar, and it's going to be dangerous indeed.

But Alina hesitated for a while, then shook her head: "I... I really don't dare to go back..."
