There were still close to a thousand garrisons in Changhe Town at the moment, and there were still three hundred real Lion Realm cavalry.

They did welcome the Combine's arrival quite cordially - the situation was completely reversed with just one fire, and the town of Long River was already safe, and of course they would welcome reinforcements.

They did not disagree with Godric's offer to temporarily take over the defense of Long River - Godric was the king's brother-in-law after all, and came to the rescue with a large number of elite troops, and even defeated the enemy.

And now that the Archon of Long River is not there, it is appropriate for Baron Godric to take over the defense temporarily at this time.

However, although these garrisons were very polite, none of them were willing to go out of the city to fight!

It's not that they're afraid of death, it's that it's not good for them to go out of the city to fight......

Because, they are soldiers that Duke Alma brought from Lion Lake City.

These guys had previously told Amy that their duty was to guard the town of Long River, and that if the Legion of the Prophets attacked, they would fight to the death. But if the enemy doesn't attack Changhe Town, or if the enemy is going to retreat, "it will be even better" - this is what the commander of the Lion Realm cavalry said.

These garrisons were all under the command of Duke Alma, and for them, as long as nothing happened to Long River.

As for whether the Legion of the Prophets will run away, or whether they will plague other villages, it is none of their business.

It's actually normal for them to have this kind of mentality, they are not from Long River Town after all, they were just arranged by Duke Alma to take over the defense of Long River Town a few months ago.

As a garrison, it was their duty to guard the town of Changhe, but other than that, they didn't have any local affection for the area......

That's why Leon had to give Godric military control of Long River - Alma's men didn't care if anyone else in the East didn't care if they lived or died, it didn't even matter to their own character.

If they defend the city unfavorably, they must be responsible, and Duke Alma will not spare them, then they will naturally fight hard.

But if it is to fight out of the city, it will not be of much benefit to them if they win, and once they cause large casualties, the leading knight will be responsible, so they will definitely not want to go out of the city.

In fact, most nobles don't care about other people's territory, and there are few nobles who are willing to think about the overall safety like Godric and Leofric.

In fact, if the garrison of Changhe Town were to go out of the city to fight, they would definitely be able to win the battle under the current situation.

Even if they didn't dare to go out with their whole army, relying on this Lion Realm cavalry alone could completely put the Prophet Legion in a dilemma.

Judging from the current situation, as long as there were enough cavalry troops watching outside the city, the three prophets would definitely not dare to retreat easily.

As long as they have the slightest intention of retreating, the cavalry can charge into battle, at least hold them back, and then the army will have time to kill them from Changhe Town.

The Prophet Legion would be trapped under the city and unable to move, unless the Three Prophets were willing to leave all the female soldiers behind and run away with the Doom Seeker - even then, they might not be able to escape.

But the problem was that the Lion Realm cavalry didn't even want to go out of the city to replace the Rangers who hadn't slept all night - not to mention Amy's request, and even Godric's request, the leading knight refused.

Now it was only possible to make Ralph's rangers work harder, and cooperate with Baron Leofrick to hold on for a few more hours, keeping an eye on the Prophet's legion, so that the large army could get a good night's sleep.

Godric was still quite composed, and ignored the cavalry, and only issued an announcement throughout the city, indicating that he would take over the town of Long River for the time being.

But he still couldn't help but sigh: "It is because every great lord's troops have such a mentality that these heretics can run rampant with Pande!" It's all selfish guys! ”

However, Leon didn't want to leave it at that: "Lord Godric, they just don't see any good...... Rest assured, at the most, by noon, they will all go out of the city to fight! ”

After saying that, the lord took Amy directly into the largest tavern in Long River Town, which was the adventurer's tavern.

"Amy, go to the garrison camp and invite the knight who leads the army, and say that Baron Leon, the chairman of the Maixiang Group, has invited him to drink and ask him for help......"

"Teacher, are you going to convince him? But they do have a reason not to go out of the city to fight......"

After all, Amy is too young to learn to see the essence through phenomena.

"It's okay, just call someone, I have to set up some scores......"

The lord said as he approached the tavern owner, "Boss, you have a private room here, right?" At the last table of a sumptuous dinner, you can serve whatever is the most expensive here. ”

The tavernkeeper's face was full of laughter when he heard this: "Yes, yes, sir, please ...... here."

The so-called private room is actually the boss's own room...... But it doesn't matter, anyway, inviting guests to dinner is not the goal, it just looks big.

It wasn't long before the leading knight who had refused to fight before was brought into the box by Amy.

He had to come—he could refuse to go out of town to fight, but he was not so easy to refuse an invitation to dinner from a full-fledged baron.

And it was an eldest lady like Amy who came to invite her personally, giving enough face, and it would be too ignorant not to come.

However, as soon as he entered, he almost ran away—ten Metenheim men stood in a circle in the box, leaning against the wall, all expressionless around a large round table.

There was only one young nobleman sitting at the round table, and the table was indeed full of all kinds of wine and food.

And as soon as he entered, Klose at the door closed the door and leaned against the door, apparently not intending to let anyone out.

This looks like a scene of the underworld scaring people, this knight is starting to sweat on his head, he is here for a banquet, and he doesn't even have a decent weapon on him.

"This ...... What can I do for you, Lord Baron? ”

The knight was still a little bold, and when he saw Klose blocking the door with an expressionless face, he turned his head and asked the lord, acting quite calm.

But the tone was obviously not as horizontal as when he refused to play just now.

However, the lord's attitude was very gentle: "Please take a seat, knight, don't be nervous, I'm just asking you for a favor...... You seem to be sweating? Is it hot? ”

Who can't sweat a little in this face?

The knight couldn't figure out the lord's intentions, and sat down a little crampedly, but his movements were a little stiff—his ass was only a third of the way to the chair.

Amy also sat down next to the lord and began to watch and learn.

"Amy, you should already know me, but you probably don't know who I am yet...... My name is Li Ang, and I am the chairman of Maixiang International. Amy is my partner. ”

The lord's attitude was gentle, but his tone was cold, and his eyes were slanted.

As he spoke, he reached out and poured a glass of wine and handed it to the knight.

The knight took the cup, but did not drink it, put it on the table, and asked the lord with a frown, "Your Excellency, you might as well speak directly...... I know I offended a few adults today, but we do have reasons not to fight......"

"The Great Age of Genes"

Li Angpi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I understand you, and I'm not here to trouble you." Actually, I'm trying to talk to you about business......"

The knight's brows furrowed even deeper: "Business? ”

"I think you've probably heard of the Mak Heung Group's industrial ......"

With a smile on his face, Leon took out a dinar and bounced it on the table like a gambler placing a bet on the table.

"Huh? Those...... Which casinos did you open? ”

The knight's face suddenly turned a little strange, and it seemed that he had also lost money with one of the operators.

Merchants opened many casinos around Lion Lake City, and the garrison in this era was the largest customer group of casinos, and only a few people who had not participated in gambling were ......

"Since you know my main business, you must also know the strength of Maixiang International." Leon raised his eyebrows: "But you may not know what kind of opportunity you almost missed today......"

The knight was a little restrained by Leon's formation.

Of course he could realize how profitable those casinos were, and the young baron sitting in front of him now was a rich man!

The knight's attitude became visibly deferential.

Human beings are like this - when the other party's social status is higher than their own, and at the same time, they have more wealth than themselves, people will always involuntarily lower their posture...... Many people even think that it is an honor for an elder to be able to talk to themselves on an equal footing!

When people have such an attitude, it is usually easy to talk about business.

Li Ang smiled: "Casinos can indeed make a lot of money, but the most profitable business in the world is not this...... I would love to open another more profitable business, but I just didn't have the resources to ...... However, today I have found ample resources! ”

At this, the lord smiled greasy.

The knight was stunned, and then showed the same smile: "My lord, do you want to ......?"

"Yes, you know! I'd love to open a service industry...... I even had a name for my new business in mind – heaven and earth! What do you think of the name? ”

Leon raised an eyebrow, an even more disgusting smile on his face.

"Isn't that just right to be one south and one north to Craggy Rock Bay...... Hey, hey, hey! "This knight looks very experienced, and he is probably also a master in the Wind Moon Field.

"Originally, I didn't have any resources in my hands, but now there are at least five or six hundred top beauties outside, if I can get some, this new business may be able to start immediately......"

Leon touched his chin and said.

"Lord Leon, that's a heretic witch!" The knight was shocked, obviously not expecting that the lord was fighting the idea of the three prophets.

"I don't believe you don't have any thoughts about those beautiful heretics......"

Leon glanced at the knight: "Besides, what do you think we came here with our troops?" Do you think we are simply here to rescue Fort White Deer? Duke Alma won't do me any good! ”

"That's right...... They do look tempting...... "The knight himself felt that it was unlikely that this reinforcement army had come to the rescue of Changhe Town—after all, the reinforcements had come so quickly, and the Prophet Legion had not even attacked Changhe Town before the large army came.

"That's what I'm here for - I have too few men to do anything with those women. Master Godric's troops were mostly archers, and it was difficult to capture them. But you have a thousand troops here, plus the army that Lord Godric has brought, and you must be enough to capture those women!" I'm willing to pay a super high price for twenty Doom Inducers...... A doom inducer, I'll go out of three thousand dinars! Only 20 are accepted, on a first-come, first-served basis! ”

Leon gave an irresistible and extremely high price, 3,000 dinars to buy a prisoner of war who was doomed!

This kind of price, let alone seen it, this knight has never even heard of it - this is not a Noldor elf, just a heretic witch!

You know, 3,000 dinars can buy more than a dozen sets of ordinary standard equipment!

Or, to be able to buy dozens or even hundreds of sturdy slaves;

Or, you can buy a huge manor in the heart of the kingdom...... The kind with hundreds of acres of land!

- Three thousand dinars, which is a huge amount of money that most knights can't save enough in their lifetime, is enough to make people worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

And the big money in front of him opened his mouth to buy twenty!

Leon could see that the knight's breathing suddenly became short......

So, he made another offer: "If I can capture any of the three prophets, I will be able to give 50,000 dinars!" I'm sure there are many people who will be interested in these three prophets...... They will make my new business a success overnight! As for the other female soldiers, it depends on the quality...... But at the minimum, I can also get five times the market price! ”

The knight immediately expressed a strong interest in this big business of buying and selling heretics: "Lord Leon, I think your business will be up and running soon!" I see what you mean! ”

Then he took the glass on the table and drank it down.

After drinking, he owed Amy: "I'm sorry Miss Amy, I didn't expect this reason...... If you had said that, I wouldn't have offended you......"

Li Ang knocked on the table: "Amy, a girl, how can she mention this business in public?" Now that you know, I'll keep Amy waiting here, and she'll pay for what I want......"

"Don't worry, my lord, you will be able to make a lot of money!"

After saying that, I got up and left, probably because I couldn't wait to do business.

Li Ang smiled, as long as he found the right direction, how could there be someone who couldn't move......

Amy was still a little confused: "Teacher, you don't really want to open any 'heaven and earth', do you?" ”

Lord Lord pouted: "How is it possible...... Am I like that? ”

Amy sighed, and finally didn't say the word 'like': "Actually, you can also directly use money to tempt them to fight, why do you want to engage in this kind of scene?" ”

She gestured to the food on the table.

"Amy, to drive someone you don't know, you first have to make him willing to listen to you. And making people willing to listen to you carefully and form an obedient mentality is much more important than the content of your speech! ”

"I have to let him know that I am rich, and I have to let him know that I have a good reason to pay, so that he will believe that I can really give a lot of money."

"If it weren't for these scenes to create an environment, he would probably have rejected me outright. At that time, it will not be easy to talk to him again......"

"And these things will not be wasted - come, brothers, let's have a good meal!"

The men of Metenheim immediately sat down at the table with a smile, and they couldn't wait.

Leon and Amy quickly pulled a chicken leg and fled the room like a fly—neither of them wanted to eat in the pigsty......

Just a few hours later, at noon that day, all the leading knights in the garrison of Long River Town collectively asked Godric to fight to the death with the Prophet's legion!

There are even a few mercenary groups that don't know where they came from, claiming to 'eradicate harm and eliminate heresy for the people'......

Leon even slept after eating and drinking, and as soon as he returned from yawning, he heard Baron Godric say in a happy mood: "You are all heroes of justice, and these heretics will surely be destroyed today!" ”

Then Godric waved his hand: "The whole army is out of battle!" ”

Thousands of garrisons, as well as various mercenary groups with hundreds of people together, plus more than a thousand combined army troops, rushed out of Changhe Town together......

Except for Ralph's Ranger and Leofrick's 'Horse Puller' who need to retreat from the battlefield to catch up on sleep, the combat power of Long River Town has all been deployed!

That's an army of more than 2,000 men, four times the current number of the Prophet's legion, and all of them are in high spirits at the moment.

Godric also prepared to leave the city with his guards, and when he passed by the lord's side, he asked, "Sure enough, people died for money...... However, if they can capture a lot of heretics, will you really make Amy pay? ”

Leon smiled and said in a low voice, "Captive heretics? Those women are not afraid of death at all, how can they be captured? Those who are doomed don't even feel pain...... Want to capture them? It's harder than capturing the Noldor elves...... As for capturing the Three Prophets, if anyone really has the ability, then I am definitely willing to pay to make friends with such a hero......"

After saying that, he went up to the city wall, and lay on the wall to observe before going out of the city.

The Prophet Legion, which had not moved for a long time, finally made a move at this time - after discovering that the army was out of the city, they were directly dispersed into dozens of squads, and those blood oath witches were also divided into various squads, each team had about seven or eight people.

The squads spread out in all directions, apparently to break out.

And the three prophets were still together, and they fled straight west with dozens of doom herders, and their attitude was quite decisive.

Is this going to abandon other female soldiers and run away on their own?

Li Ang stood up with some surprise, if these three prophets wanted to run away, wouldn't it be more appropriate to retreat directly when the large army entered the city before?

Although there are so many cavalry staring at it, and they will also lose a lot of money if they retreat, but at least it is much better than facing a large army now!

Moreover, the Combine was also given a few hours of rest, how could the Three Prophets make such a decision?

But it didn't take long for the lord to realize that the decision of the three prophets to run away now was actually right - they were afraid of being pursued by the rangers, and now that the rangers had entered the city to rest, they had to take advantage of this opportunity to run.

Indeed, being chased by a large number of mounted archers is the most terrifying, and those doomers are themselves mounted archers, and they probably know this very well.

Anyway, for the Three Prophets, as long as they decide to run, they must give up those female infantry soldiers, and no matter when they run, the cost is the same.

Since there is no difference in the price paid, then while the Rangers are not on the battlefield, the chances of the Three Prophets themselves successfully escaping will indeed be higher.

But, but.

But the Three Prophets certainly didn't expect that the lord would pay a high price to 'buy' them......

Under the temptation of the lord's heavy money, those lion realm cavalry and mercenary groups had all chased after them in unison - the three prophets only brought a few dozen doom inducers, and there were not many of them, and they all happened to belong to the type of goods that Lord Leon bought at a high price......

It is true that these Lion Realm cavalry do not have the riding and archery abilities of the Rangers, but they now have the determination to chase the Dinar.

Therefore, their pursuit was more targeted—they completely ignored the female soldiers who had broken through in all directions, and pursued straight towards the Three Prophets, with a clear goal.
