Ramon reached out and took the dice, laughing out loud, laughing unusually happily.

He jumped off his horse, stepped forward, grabbed the reins of Leon's horse, bowed down and held the stirrup, and made a gesture to welcome Leon to dismount.

It is a ritual to greet an elderly person or a close friend in the Savannail desert.

"Lord Leon, I've given five people dice, but only you know what I mean! Looks like I did find a really good brother ......"

Ramon's smiling face is genuine.

The underground king of Singar has his own pride, and even if Bahad Khan Kadan visits Singar, he will not be treated as if Ramon himself led the horse and pedals.

Only friends he approves of.

"You gave me three lead-filled dice in order to make me throw points that would satisfy both of us. Good brother, if you regarded me as a fellow traveler, then of course I will also regard you as a true brother......"

Leon jumped off his horse and gave Ramon a hug.

Life is like this, many people only need to meet once, say a few words, and become true friends.

Only Leon understood Ramon's mind, and the three lead-filled dice represented Ramon's confession to him - he was genuinely willing to regard Leon as a confidant.

In that case, Leon must also return it with the same sincerity.

A person like Ramon may indeed be insidious and cunning, but the sincerity he gave at the beginning was all true, and he also longed for the understanding and sincerity of others.

But all along, most of the rewards he has received have been conspiracy and betrayal.

In fact, if he reciprocated with sincerity, he would be a true good brother – just as he did with his men, not only would he take care of the work and life of his men, but he would also give their descendants the same education as the children of the nobility and the opportunity to change their lives completely.

What he wants is actually another kind of fairness.

And Leon's act of returning the dice means being treated fairly—because Leon himself is the same kind of person.

It is indeed a blessing to have a confidant in life, and most people will not be able to find it in their lifetime.

Ramon was lucky that he came across.

So Ramon smiled even more happily: "Good brother, then how are we going to auction the position of city lord?" ”

He hammered his chest with his fist, indicating that those who understood did not need many words.

As a result, the two are now considered partners, although there are no contracts or commitments.

"Ramon, my casino under Maixiang International, every time I meet a new customer, the dealer will let the customer win a little first......"

Leon whispered about the business methods in his casino.

Ramon was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "I know this...... And I've learned now that every time I gamble with someone, I get people to win three first......"

"Ha, you're a quick learner...... In fact, power intrigue and war are also a kind of gambling. If you want to win in the end, you must first let your opponent fall into it, and wait for your opponent to take the initiative to increase the stakes...... The same goes for auctioning the lord and throne. ”

Leon nodded and got down to business.

"I see...... I know what that means, but I can't describe it as clearly as you do, good brother, you are indeed a real tycoon. So, where are we headed? Wait a minute...... Let me guess...... Is it Eichkoman? ”

Ramon's reaction was quick, he was an extremely intelligent fellow, and his way of thinking did have many similarities with Leon himself, and he communicated with him extremely smoothly.

"You guessed it, it's Echkoman...... Caliph Bahaman's forces had recently been crippled at the Sava Fort, and his territory of Eichkoman was about to face my army...... There will definitely be a lot of customers who are willing to come and gamble. ”

Leon also felt a little like facing his confidant at the moment, and took Ramon's shoulder and pointed to the army behind him.

There are more than 10,000 troops, boundless, and all kinds of flags are overwhelming.

Half of them were caravans, but at least they looked like they were huge.

There are still quite a few lords in the Lion Kingdom who came to follow the marshal to fight, although the troops of King Ulrik and several of the strongest big lords are not among them, but the troops of the other minor lords all add up to more than 5,000 people.

On this expedition to Dexia, none of the four most powerful lords participated in the battle.

With the exception of Duke Brenus, Godric of Talon Castle, Leofrick of Shield Fortress, and Hereward of Misty Bunch did not come - their castle was the border of the kingdom in all directions.

Moreover, their territory was too far away from the Duchy of Dexia, and Li Ang did not give them a summoning order, after all, these people were their own people.

Li Ang didn't plan to occupy any territory in this battle, so naturally there was no need to pit his own people to travel thousands of miles.

But just Leon's own troops combined with those small lords are by no means able to stop the current Bahaman, but the fortress of Turda, which is not far away, can probably be defended.

"As it stands, your army is large enough to run wild in the Savannail Desert, and Bahaman may be able to pee his pants...... But the Gewan Khan of the Turda Fortress may be an obstacle for you. ”

Ramon apparently could see the situation as well, so he also asked about the Turda Fortress.

He had no doubt that Leon would be able to capture the fortress, but if Leon's troops had suffered too much damage at the fortress of Turda, they might not have been able to defeat the city of Eichkoman.

"How could Gawan Khan be an obstacle to me...... Good brother, Gawan Khan should be our customer! He's Bahaman's brother......"

Leon tilted his head and smiled sinisterly.

"Oh...... It turned out to be such an auction of the city lord...... Ha! ”

Ramon understood Leon's intentions: "In this way, our customers are not only Qawan Khan, but also Bahaman's son Ikram and his nephew Jamshid......"

"How can there be only so many? Ramon, think a little higher, we still have a lot of big customers...... Emperor Marius, King of Ulrik, Bahad Khan Kadan, and Kadan's younger brother Emir Xerxes...... And the Caliph Tahir, Lord of Singar! ”

Li Ang crossed his fingers and counted the number of big customers.

Just one hand.

After counting, Leon looked at Ramon with a smile: "Good brother, you now know how I am going to auction for the position of city lord, right?" When Eichkoman sells it, we can continue to auction off the title of Bahad...... I said I was going to auction the throne! ”

"Are you going to take Bahad Khan as well...... Tsk, I see! These big customers really make my mouth water...... Good brother, what do you want me to do? ”

Ramón's mouth opened wide and began to gear up with great interest.

As the underground king of Singar, Ramon has a wealth of information, and he knew a few days ago that Bahad Khan Cardan had been defeated under the Lion City, in this case, of course, he immediately understood Leon's intentions, and the throne of Bahad Khan could indeed be auctioned!

For the first time in his life, Ramon even asked, 'What do you want me to do?' and he used to be the one who said, 'We can do this.'"

"You go and prepare for a big auction, you find all the big customers, and you start selling tickets by the way – there are a lot of people who want to come in to see this unprecedented auction, and charge them a huge entrance fee...... Also, I need your people to go to the Turda Fortress to spread the news......"

Li Ang was not polite and began to assign tasks to his partners.

……

Turda Fortress.

Gawan Khan was pacing back and forth anxiously, his face full of sadness.

His realm is facing an unprecedented crisis.

In fact, this crisis began more than a month ago.

At first, it was the governor of the Bacchus Empire who led people to ask to enter the territory of Dexia to track down the priests of the Serpent Cult.

At that time, Dexia and the Bacchus Empire belonged to peaceful countries, and Kairos was famous, and he didn't bring too many people, only a few dozen Shadow Centurions, so Gavin Khan let him go.

After all, the Snake Cult is also a heretic for the Dexia people, and the Dexia is rarely plagued by the Red Death not because of their special constitution, but because the Snake Cult is not welcomed in most parts of Dexia, and there is little room for play, and only the chaotic capital of Singal can tolerate all heretics.

Soon afterward, several small units also requested entry.

And these people were not like the armed forces, there were only twenty or thirty men in each team, and they behaved very politely - they did not clash with anyone in the fortress of Turda, but were kind enough to say that they were here to judge heresy.

In the past, there were often small polite groups that entered the country in the name of 'judging heresy' or 'criticizing depravity', but they all went to Singar.

- The so-called 'judging heretics' is actually to buy and sell slaves, after all, if heretics are captured alive, they will basically become slaves without exception, and many nobles like to find excitement in heretics;

And 'criticizing the degenerate' is actually to go to the women who have lost their footing, and the witches of Zingal are very famous......

So Gawan Khan didn't pay much attention to it, it seemed that these were all compradors of brokers, and it was very common for him to enter the country by compradors who helped the nobles buy and sell slaves and have fun.

Although Singar is nominally the territory of Dexia, in fact it is a different culture from Decha, and most of the Singar people are not Descha - they are all descendants of various criminals or criminals from all over the world, and together they form a so-called Singar nation.

Since the Singars did not believe in the dark horse 'Vata', the god of Deshan, for most Deshan, the Singars and the city itself were hereticals, so they did not find it a problem to judge heretics......

However, they also knew that this evil city must exist, because Singal's location was stuck between the Lion Kingdom and the Savannel Desert, which could shield Dexia from attacks from the Lion Kingdom - especially after the Dexia went to the Lion Realm to raid.

So these people will definitely go to Singar, and there is naturally no need for Gawan Khan to stop him, he will let people go after collecting the 'entry tax' as usual.

But then, things gradually changed......

Suddenly, one armed force after another appeared on the territory of Descha - and these troops did not cross the border, did not come from the fortress of Turda.

But these teams all claim to be 'judging heretics,' and they do—instead of going to Singar, they're attacking the Deca herdsmen in the Savannail desert everywhere!

The heresy they want to judge is actually the Dexia people who believe in 'Vata'!

In the territory of Gavan Khan, such armed forces of several dozen men appeared the most, many civilians were attacked, and a large number of horses were stolen.

It wasn't until Gawan Khan killed a small army and caught a job that he realized that the latter men had come by sea.

The village of Shikhbasha is a coastal fishing village, but the bay is full of reefs, which are not suitable for boats to dock, and only local fishermen fish inshore, so there are not many troops stationed there.

But the small teams that politely asked for entry were probably engineering teams led by secret spies, who took advantage of the fishermen's fishing boat docks to rebuild them, and now they can dock small sea boats......

As a result, all sorts of haphazard militants in Bacchus landed from Hikhbasha in waves, and although the makeshift port could only accommodate a few dozen people in a small boat at a time, they still poured in countless small troops in a few days......

It would be fine if it was just that, after all, these were small troops, and according to the captives, they were all green forest heroes from various hills, and they came from a variety of sources and had no subordinates, and Gawan Khan was confident that he would kill them one by one.

Of course, Gawan Khan also knew that this so-called 'green forest hero' must have nothing to do with Emperor Marius, but in any case, nominally this robber from the territory of Bacchus came to the territory of Dexia to rob - this kind of thing can only be regarded as the security of Dexia......

But just as Gavian Khan sent his army to pursue the small troops who were robbing their horses, his army suffered a heavy defeat.

Within days of these small forces raging around, a truly large and elite force entered the Savannair Desert and nearly wiped out Qavan Khan's army of several hundred men near Ghashin.

This force did not come from the Bacchus side - Gawan Khan had already re-destroyed the temporary port of Hih Basha and sent troops to patrol the coast, and there should be no more 'green forest heroes' on the Bacchus Empire.

The mighty troops, dressed in silver-white armor and white cloaks and white burqas, also claimed to "judge heresy", and they did act like a judgment - they would burn anyone who did not believe in Astalia, the goddess of justice......

They call themselves the "Inquisition of Inquisition".

The Inquisition actually came from the northwest, and maybe they had something to do with the Knights of the Dawn in Howling Bay, but they looked similar to the Knights of the Dawn anyway.

It was also easy to think about why this so-called Inquisition had come to his territory—this army had probably come to recruit troops.

Because the Inquisition took the initiative to attack Gaywan Khan's troops and rescued two bandit teams, and the two small teams also joined the Inquisition.

The robbers and bandits who had previously been led under the pretext of 'judging heretics' were obviously the targets of the Inquisition......

And the very reason for the 'trial of heretics' probably inspired the Inquisition a lot - while recruiting those small bandits, the well-equipped forces of the Inquisition also did the same thing as those robbers.

Looting, taking horses and possessions, killing any man who dares to resist, and scourge women whether they resist or not.

It's just that they have gone the extra mile - to force all the survivors to change their faith, or else they will use fire to carry out their 'judgment'.

However, in order to hunt down the small bandit troops from Bacchus, Gavin Khan had sent out most of his army, and now he only had a few hundred men in his hands, and these hundreds of people had to defend the fortress of Turda, where the large army of the Lion Kingdom was marching on this side.

So Gawan Khan is quite worried now, and he is even thinking about whether to hurry up and run away......
