Aditz did owe Brigi a large sum of money - three thousand dinars.

In order to pay off his debts, he became Brigitte's mercenary.

But for an ordinary Singar mercenary, 3,000 dinars is a huge amount of money that will be difficult to repay in a lifetime, and he can't afford to sell Adiz.

Judging from the 'pricing' that Ramon, a professional trafficker, usually does for all kinds of fighters, Adiz, a Singar rider, is only worth about seven hundred dinars.

If the buyer is good at bargaining, maybe Ramon will also give him a lame old horse as a top pick......

Therefore, Addis was originally pessimistic about his future fate, he could not afford this huge amount of money, and it was difficult to get out of Brigitte's drug control, the key is that this debt would even be owed more and more - Addis was not a believer in Brigitte's mysterious religion, and the opium that Brigitte gave him was not free.

There is little hope in such a life.

Of course, Aditz is still trying to find a way, such as this time, he took the initiative to win the opportunity to fool Leon.

This opportunity to risk his life would have allowed him to reduce his debt a little bit, and it would also allow him to get that little ball of opium cream.

When Bridget stopped drugging the troops, this small ball of opium seemed quite rare......

When a person is in distress, it is indeed very sad, and everyone who is struggling at the bottom has their own difficulties and helplessness.

If this person who is struggling at the bottom is still going to ask for face, it will be even more difficult.

Adiz is obviously a face--he won't even learn how to call the wild cat Spring, and his self-esteem is quite strong.

But perhaps Aditz was lucky, and the task he won for opium gave him the opportunity to truly change his fate.

"Tomorrow you will be able to pay off your arrears, and I will give you three thousand dinars."

Leon stared into Addice's eyes: "You go back to Brigitte and tell him that I have convinced you to be Ramon's men......"

"Wait! Lord Leon, I'm not going to be an assassin for the sake of money...... I can leave my employer because his actions have cost me of honor. But I can't assassinate him anymore, that's the bottom line of being a human being...... As much as I want him to be killed, I can't be the one who kills him. ”

Aditz interrupted Leon's words, and did not avoid Leon's gaze, saying quite seriously.

Most of Singar's mercenaries do have this sense of honor. They do believe in the dinar, but they do have a bottom line when they are mercenaries, which is a code of conduct that has gradually developed over the centuries in the chaotic place of Singal - you can be cheated, you can disrespect the gods, and you can leave your employer, but you must not attack the employer who pays for it.

In fact, Singar riders and spearmen are also quite popular in the mercenary industry, even in the face of a lot of temptation, they will not attack their employers, at most steal and run away.

Perhaps, no matter what continent it is, it is the people at the bottom who will retain these sense of honor and morality.

But the problem is that Addis is now an addict — and it's rare for an addict to retain such a sense of honor.

So Leon smiled, he felt that someone like Aditz was just right for his plans.

Edith...... I'm not going to let you assassinate Bridget, and besides, I don't think you're a killer......"

Leon grinned and shook his head: "I just need you to pay back the money you owe Bridget—just say that I gave you a sum of money, because I believe that you are Ramon's subordinate, and this is the cooperation money I settled for Ramon." And tomorrow night, I will personally lead the team through that secret gate into Toba City, so that Brigitte is ready to capture me...... Do you understand? Repeat my words. ”

Addis honestly memorized it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Alright, Risadiran, go and fetch him three thousand dinars, and send him to Toba, and by the way, go with him to investigate the so-called secret door."

Leon nodded, motioning for Aditz to go.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this job, it is just a plan in the way that Bridget intends to deceive Leon, and it is not very difficult, just a word.

Although Aditz knew that Leon was going to ambush Brigit, as long as he didn't let him stab his employer to death with his own hands - as long as he paid off his debt to Brigitte, Brigitte would no longer be his employer, and after that, whatever Leon wanted to do with Brigitte had nothing to do with him.

So the Singar rider rode back to Toba again with a huge purse - with Risadilan secretly watching, Adiz did not dare to run away.

Soon after, Risa Dilan returned with Klose.

"My lord, that addict did enter Toba City through a secret door to the west...... It seems that that Bridget is well prepared to deceive you, and that gate is supposed to be used to transport manure out of the city, and it is indeed possible to ride horses, and even carriages can enter and exit. ”

Risadillan described the secret door first, and then asked the lord, "But, my lord, do you really think that Edith can do what you say?" He doesn't seem to be a good liar, and he seems to like to take matters into his own hands......"

"I don't care if he does what I say, as long as he gives the three thousand dinars back to Brigit...... Do you think that Brigitte will think that the money I gave to Addis must be far more than the three thousand dinars? Even so much so that Adiz doesn't care about three thousand dinars anymore......"

Leon shook his head and said, "I just need Bridget to believe that I will really attack from the secret door, and nothing else." I hope he survives, but he should be a kind person......"

Aditz probably didn't realize that Leon asked him to bring the 3,000 dinars just to prove that Leon had believed in the deception of Addis to 'attack from the secret door'.

After all, Aditz was pretending to be Ramon's subordinate to deliver information, and Leon paid him a large sum of money, which looked like he was settling the final payment for Ramon - which meant that Leon believed Adiz's words.

This is, of course, to convince Brigitte that Leon will indeed attack from the secret gate tomorrow night, and that he will definitely place the main force near the secret door, and he himself will definitely keep watch at the secret door for the night.

Then, Leon could have launched a frontal attack directly the morning after tomorrow, and then sent the elite to attack from both sides from the secret gate while Bridget transferred his exhausted troops to the frontal wall.

Useful tactics are often not too complicated, and it is also a good idea to attack the city from the front when it is certain that the enemy's main force is exhausted.

And the timeliness of Leon's attack on the secret door may only be half a day, but this half day is likely to be fatal to Bridget, and the accurate timeliness is actually 'Tianshi'.

It's just that this will actually put Addis in danger - Brigitte will probably torture Addis and force him to ask where the rest of the money is.

After all, in Brigit's opinion, if an old man like Ramon can take the initiative to provide intelligence services, then Leon will definitely settle a large sum of money for Ramon......

Moreover, Brigitte also knew that Ramon was auctioning off the city lord, and this kind of matter involving the position of the city lord must involve far more than three thousand dinars.

In fact, this is the reason why Leon must take out Bridget.

Not because Brigitte was trying to control Leon with poison, or because of this guy's immoral ways, but because Brigitte had captured Ramon's men, and must have forced a lot of things out of Ramon's men.

Since Addis can know the contact information agreed between Ramon and Leon, it means that Ramon's men should have confessed everything they knew after being caught.

However, Ramon probably didn't tell his subordinates about the auction of the throne of Bahad Khan, so Aditz - or rather Brigitte thinks that Leon has come to Dexia to start the 'battle for dignity'.

In fact, most people would probably think so, after all, the Duchy of Dexia was once a vassal principality of the Pander Kingdom, and the Lion Kingdom has always claimed to be the successor of the Pander Kingdom.

Although Dexia has become independent in the second year of the founding of the Lion Kingdom, the Lion Kingdom will certainly not recognize its independence, and each generation of Lion Kings will not regard the ruler of Dexia as an equal monarch, after all, the face of the kingdom still needs to be wanted.

The capital has been attacked by a former vassal, and it is necessary for the Lion Kingdom to launch a counterattack. Otherwise, it will appear that the Lion Kingdom is weak, and it may be used by other countries to find an excuse to declare war.

If it is an equal country, such as between the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire, you can show weakness to lure the enemy, you can lie down and taste your courage, or you can admit defeat, this is no problem.

But in the face of the former vassal state, it is not possible to show weakness, not at all.

This is the face of the kingdom.

The capital of the Lion Kingdom was attacked by Bahad Khan Kadan, so it stands to reason that the Lion Kingdom should attack the city of Toba, the capital of Dexia, either to kill Cardin or to capture Toba.

Anyway, at least to turn Cardin's territory upside down, this is not only a retaliatory counterattack, but also the response that the Lion Kingdom should have in the face of provocation.

Presumably Cardin thinks so too, which is why he hires Brigitte to strengthen the military of Toba City.

But the problem is that the marshal of the Lion Kingdom is Li Ang......

Leon didn't really care much about the face of the Lion Kingdom, he cared more about the more practical things.

For example, your own safety, and whether your plan will be successful.

Brigitte knew too much, and in order to avoid any planned accidents, Brigitte would have to die in Toba City.

…………

Late at night, inside the city of Toba.

Edith had already met Bridget.

As Leon had expected, Aditz had been tied up, and the three thousand dinars had fallen into the hands of Brigit, but Brigitte did not think that this was Adiz's debt......

"Addis, you should understand that this is a mission, and the loot obtained in the mission should be distributed by me, this is my rule here...... Tell me, where did you hide the other dinars? ”

Bridget had a whip in his hand and a somewhat hideous face.

"Nothing else, that's all...... And it's not loot either, it's my windfall! Bridget, let go of me! I've paid off my debts and you're no longer my employer now! ”

Aditz gritted his teeth and his eyes widened, apparently Brigitte had acted beyond his expectations.

"Okay, even if I'm not your employer...... But I can always make you owe me money again! Give him medicine! ”

Brigitte stood behind Aditz and whipped her whip on Aditz's back a few times, then instructed a woman to administer Edith's medicine.

The woman was wearing a half-covered helmet, and the part above the mouth was hidden in the helmet, and the face could not be seen.

This is supposed to be Bridget's 'Omen Seekers'.

"What is this! I don't eat this......"

Aditz gritted her teeth and turned her head to dodge, but the woman pinched her chin and looked up.

This movement caused Adiz's gaze to look from the bottom up, through the half-covered helmet, to see the face of the Omen Seeker.

"It's you!"

Aditz stopped struggling and stared at the Omen Seeker, "You're Bridget's subordinate?" You lied to me in the first place, on Brigitte's orders? Bridget! You bastard! Uh-huh......"

The Omen Seeker didn't say anything, except smiled seemingly contemptuously, and poured a glass of black liquid into Adiz's mouth, silting his babbling mouth.

"I told you that I could make you owe me money at any time...... Adiz, tell me where is the Dinar that Leon gave you? He couldn't have given Ramon just three thousand dinars......"

Bridget apparently believed that Addis was hiding more money, and he whipped it again.

But Aditz didn't speak anymore, just stared at the Omen seeker in front of him with red eyes, gritted his teeth and endured the whipping without saying a word.

This kind of torture will not lead to results after all, after all, Addis really didn't hide any money.

In the end, Brigitte had no choice but to put Addis in prison in Toba City.

Of course, he wouldn't kill Adiz, after all, he thought that Aditz must be hiding a lot of dinars...... He had to wait until Adiz was addicted, and at that point, asking anything would get results.

But the next afternoon, Aditz was gone.

To be precise, Aditz escaped from the prison in Toba City - he was able to quietly stun the sentinels outside the Leon barracks, and his skills were actually very good.

】

Bridget was unaware of Addis' escape, as he was busy setting up an ambush near the secret door......

At the same time, Leon's troops began to make a slow march towards the city of Toba.

The movement of the army in the afternoon was obviously unreasonable - as is usually the case, the attackers marched early in the morning. I set off in the afternoon, and when I arrived at the city, I had to arrange siege equipment, and I was afraid that it would be dark when I was ready to attack the city.

This situation also means that Leon's army should not launch a frontal attack.

Bridget strengthened his confidence, he felt that Leon was only trying to use the army as a cover, and he must enter the city through the secret gate......

So he deployed most of the elite to the west of the city near the river and in the slums of the city to lay ambushes - that is, inside and outside the secret door.

It is true that Leon's army did not attack the city, they were just concentrating on building siege facilities.

And Brigitte waited all night near the secret door, but he did wait for a troop to come.

It was actually about 200 people brought by Risa Dilan, who were not actually elite soldiers, but some recruits who were responsible for night guards and miscellaneous work......

Risadilan and the others had been wandering around the secret door, neither near nor far away.

At night, there was only starlight, and the black lights were blinding, and Brigitte felt that this was probably the elite that Leon carried, so he kept preparing for the battle.

But the team kept going back and forth, but never came in, which made Bridget's heart empty.

As a result, Bridget and his elite waited in ambush near the secret door all night, and Krisadiran only took the recruit with him all night......
