Alisthai probably does know a lot of information, but his current state is not very good, and he can't be questioned for the time being.

In fact, he was not in danger of his life, nor did he fall into a coma, and even the wound under his crotch was treated by Jocelyn, and he no longer bleed.

Jocelyn showed a certain amount of kindness to Alistay, after all, this was his former comrade-in-arms, and the two did have a friendship.

However, since he was hit by Leon's severed sword, Alista has been blinded and depressed, ignoring everything and not even reacting when Jocelyn ripped off his pants to treat the wound.

The state of the whole person is basically the same as that of a male cat who has just undergone sterilization, which perfectly interprets what it means to be "born without love".

It's understandable that any man who gets cut off that thing will definitely be depressed.

It wasn't until Jocelyn handed him a small clay pot sealed in wax that he had a slight reaction—he held the small clay pot tightly in his arms and began to weep silently without saying a word.

The jar contained a half-amputated "stump" that Jocelyn had pulled out from under ......Alistay's crotch.

Leon couldn't force this loveless guy for the time being—Alistay couldn't ask about his current state, and his current hostility towards Leon was definitely at its peak.

After all, it was the lord's own hand.

"Looks like Bridget will indeed escape...... Edit, what else do you know about Brigit? Where do you think he's going?"

Leon was going to get some information from Addis first.

"Lord Leon, I only know that Bridget once said that he wanted to build a 'kingdom of God', but I don't know much about him...... At first, I thought he was a great benevolent man who lent me money."

Aditz replied.

He should really not know much, or he wouldn't know how to be deceived.

But even this sentence is enough.

The lord had an idea, "Adiz, what did Brigitte wear last night?" You go get an identical set......

After sending Addiz away, Leon began to deal with the battle in Toba City.

Toba City is currently basically occupied by Leon, but it can only be called "basic occupation", not "full control".

Because the Dexia people in the city are only afraid of Leon's army and no longer resist openly for the time being, but there must be many rebels hiding in the city, and Leon must always be on guard against assassination or sneak attacks.

But the Inner Fort and the Treasury were indeed fully received, and the Treasury had not yet been counted, but the stock was not very large, and it was tentatively estimated that the stock in it was worth about 500,000 dinars—which was too little for a state treasury.

Fortunately, all of them are high-value hard currencies such as gold, silver and velvet, which are still very convenient to carry.

The inner fort was largely undamaged, but the storerooms inside the castle were largely empty, and it was clear that Cardin had taken most of the valuable stuff with him.

It was not surprising that Cardin had to recruit troops and take most of his belongings with him.

Toba City is now closed and quiet, but this is not what a newly conquered city should be.

In fact, there will always be some sporadic resistance in the average city.

If there is no resistance at all and nothing happens, it can only mean that there must be a lot of Dexia warriors loyal to Cardin hiding in the dwellings.

Instead, it means risk.

"My lord, there are already manpower in all parts of the city, do you need to clear all the residents of the city into the streets...... I mean, do you want to execute those captives publicly?"

In the inner fort of Toba, Eric begins to ask for instructions on what to do.

Eric's martial arts are not good, so he basically does not need to go to the battlefield when fighting, and his main position in the army group is the seal officer, and he also serves as a logistics officer - in fact, these are the two highest-ranking civilian positions in the army.

Of course, these two positions were originally mainly to facilitate Eric's control of those merchants

。

But now that the merchants are not in the ranks, Eric's main duty has become to convey orders to the other lords, that is, to dispatch those minor lords who have joined the army but are not part of Leon's direct subordinates.

Often, after capturing an enemy city, the conqueror would gather the inhabitants to announce some order or policy.

Sometimes the policy will be mild—this is when the conquerors intend to rule the land for a long time;

More often than not, the orders were brutal and even cruel – for example, when it was necessary to attract the rebels hidden among the inhabitants, some of the captives might be publicly executed in a brutal and brutal manner.

Eric's intention is obviously the latter - he knows that his boss does not plan to occupy Toba City for a long time, he just needs to completely clear Toba City and ensure safety.

"No, Eric, just declare martial law and order that no one is allowed on the streets. We don't have to attract hatred without purging the city...... I'm not going to be stationed in the city anyway."

Leon shook his head, turned his head and walked towards the outside of the inner fort, commanding as he went, "Seal the door of the inner fort, and let Klose empty the treasury of the city, leaving nothing of value behind......

Walking outside the inner fort, Leon turned his head and asked Wendy behind him, "Where are those female knights?" Call them here...... By the way, find some Omenseeker gear."

Those female knights were the eight female explorers sent by Amy, and Sarah went to the holy mountain of Ghazi with Sigismund, and these eight female probationary knights temporarily served as Leon's guards with Wendy.

"Your Excellency, you're going to put them in Omenseeker gear?"

Wendy was clever enough to guess Leon's plan.

"Yes...... Since Bridget has run away, I have to keep him from seeing Cardin in order to prevent him from doing anything bad to me......

Leon nodded.

In fact, the lord is not sure whether Brigitte was hired by Cardin or not, but in any case, Brigitte can't be allowed to see Cardin, otherwise Ramon may face *** annoyance.

Leon didn't want Ramon to be killed by Cardin.

"My lord, Bridget has escaped, how can you make it impossible for someone who has fled to see Cardin?"

Wendy said she didn't understand.

"It's simple, just keep him from meeting Cardin...... Toba City has Cardin's cronies, the Wind Resisters, and they will certainly tell Cardin everything that is happening in the city—so there is no need to purge them, and keep them to report to Cardin."

Leon smiled, "I'm going to make Bridget a 'usurper'!"

……

Four days later, Singal.

In the castle of Tahir, lord of Singar, Bahad Khan Kadan met a Desha Wind Protector from Toba City.

"High Bahad Khan, the city of Toba is occupied by the enemy...... But it's not Leon of the Lion Kingdom who occupies Toba City, it's that bastard from Brigitte!"

The Dexia Wind Protector was dusty and exhausted, but he still didn't rest for a moment to bring the news to Cardin.

Being able to cross six hundred miles of desert from Toba City to Singal in four days, this Wind Protector really fought for his life, and he was obviously indeed a loyal general.

"Bridget?! What's going on?"

Cardin's invitation fell to the ground - it was an invitation to Ramon's auction, made of gold leaf.

"Brigitte deceived us, and he colluded with the armies of the Lion Kingdom to lead Leon to the city of Toba. Then Leon took the silver from the city, and the army of the Lion Kingdom withdrew from Toba City...... Then, Brigitte announced that he would establish a new kingdom of God in Toba! He will become the new Bahad Khan as the Desert Prophet! He even made several Omen Seekers caliphs and baiyin—he usurped the throne!"

The Wind Protector was a little angry, for he had seen it all with his own eyes......

Leon took the gold and silver goods from the treasury of Toba City, but instead of taking possession of Toba City, he left the city to "Brigiet".

In the eyes of the Wind Protector, it was all obvious - Brigitte had colluded with Leon, Leon wanted wealth, and Brigitte wanted the city of Toba, each taking what he wanted.

It is understandable that Leon does not occupy the city, and most people with a little brain can realize that Toba City cannot become Leon's territory, so it is normal for Leon to only take wealth and not occupy the city.

In most people's eyes, as long as he captures Toba, Leon will be considered to have completed his mission to lead the army, which is to prove the dignity of the Lion Kingdom, and he can make up for all the losses from the treasury of Toba City.

As for who will get Toba...... It really didn't matter to Leon, it would be difficult for the Lion Kingdom to rule effectively here anyway.

And Bridget ......

He deliberately arranged for addicts to go up to the city wall during the siege of Li Ang, disrupting the deployment of the city defenses, which is ironclad evidence of collusion with the enemy;

Later, when he insisted on street fighting and resistance in the city, he suddenly disappeared again, which is also ironclad evidence;

When Leon left Toba, Brigitte reappeared in the Inner Fort and sat on the throne of Bahad Khan, declaring that Toba would become "the capital of the kingdom of God...... This is a proper usurpation.

Of course, this "Brigie", who claims to "establish the kingdom of God" in Toba, was pretended by the lord Adiz.

The omens seekers are also disguised.

But the Wind Protector couldn't tell the difference......

Adiz is also a native of Singar, and after changing into Brigi's clothes, he can basically change the real thing.

The angry Cardin turned his head directly to look at Tahir beside him, and slapped him over: "Didn't you say that Brigitte guy is reliable?"

Tahir covered his slap in the face, and there was anger in his eyes: "Bahad Khan, I admit that I don't know anyone...... But it is impossible for Brigitte to control Toba City in a short time, as long as his bounty is written in the various taverns, the head of this usurper will soon appear in front of you......

Sometimes you don't need to kill people to disarm the threat, you just need to act......

At this time, Bridget was struggling through the desert.

He did not ride a horse when he escaped from Toba City, and in order to avoid being tracked, he did not dare to go to the surrounding villages and towns to find a means of transportation.

Brigitte, who walked across the desert, was much slower than the Wind Protector who Leon had deliberately released from Toba City......

And Bridget didn't realize that his own employer had already decided that he was a usurper - just as he had been Addise's employer a few days earlier, but he had also decided that Aditz was secretly hiding money.

You always have to pay it back when you come out to mix......

In the past few days, Leon has received some information from Jocelyn's mouth one after another, which comes from Alista.

The eunuch was gradually able to talk to Jocelyn, and although most of the time he was feeling sorry for himself, not really communicating, but Alista's resentment itself could show a lot of information.

Coupled with some analysis of his own, the lord basically has a spectrum in his heart.

The Knights of Dusk's mission to capture Leon this time is obviously related to the Three Prophets.

The Three Prophets were originally priests of Astalia, the goddess of justice—apparently, they were originally from the continent of Buckley.

And now, they are disciples of the dark goddess Ereda.

The Knights of Dusk also worshipped the Goddess of Justice when they first separated from the Knights of Dawn, and they also hailed from the continent of Buckley.

And now they have also converted to the Dark Goddess, although they have always claimed to "correct the Knights of the Dawn", but the Knights of the Dawn have not done any good deeds, but have secretly poked and poked everywhere, the only advantage is that they will not burn and loot in the name of the gods like the Knights of the Dawn.

Bridget, on the other hand, is not from Barkley, he is a native of Singar, but the headquarters of the Knights of Dusk are in Singar.

And cloth

Rigie's way of acting is very peculiar, like a fusion of the Knights of Dawn, the Knights of Dusk, and the Three Prophets - claiming to be the "Prophet of the Desert", controlling his subordinates with poison, and strengthening the ranks with deception, this is the path of the Three Prophets;

In addition, like the Knights of the Dawn, he claims to "exterminate the evil spirits", and the way to destroy the evil spirits is the same way that the Knights of the Dawn use fire to judge;

And the Knights of Dusk, whose purpose is to "correct" the Knights of the Dawn, appear here to cooperate with him......

Obviously, the mysterious sect of Brigitte is actually a branch of the sect of the dark goddess Ereda; Bridget's troops are probably one of the ways in which the Knights of Dusk "corrected" the Knights of Dawn - to nurture a "Desert Prophet" to do bad things in the name of the gods.

In fact, Leon thinks that the Dark Goddess should probably be called the "God of Evil", because the forces that believe in Ereda are basically undecent. Probably because no one wants to believe in the self-proclaimed god of evil, it is called "darkness".

Leon speculates that Ereda, the goddess of darkness, and Asterya, the goddess of justice, are roughly one and the same twins, with two wills appearing in one godhead, and competing for control of each other—in fact, split personalities.

Or is it called the split Godhead......

The Three Prophets are probably the spokesmen of the Dark Goddess, and they are true sectarian prophets, after all, they can indeed wield Ereda's divine powers—that is, the Three Prophets are "ecclesiastical forces".

The Knights of Dusk are representatives of the ruling class that worship the goddess of darkness, Ereda, that is, the "secular aristocratic forces".

As for Bridget and his army of junkies, it is likely that they are cannon fodder who were raised by the Three Prophets and the Knights of Dusk to do dirty work......

When united, they can already be seen as the prototype of a theocratic kingdom, a structure that was in fact the structure of the Buckley Empire many years ago – from hundreds of years ago, the emperors of the Buckley Empire had to be crowned by the Pope, otherwise they would not be considered orthodox.

It was not until more than a decade ago, after the Buckley Empire expelled the Knights of the Dawn after the comprehensive advancement of science and technology, that the religious power was greatly weakened, and it was difficult for the church to interfere in royal politics.

It seems that the Three Prophets and the Knights of Dusk want to recreate a theocratic state on the Pander continent - this is probably indeed the wish of the dark goddess Ereda.

The Three Prophets and the Knights of Dusk clearly wanted to overthrow the Lion Kingdom and the Duchy of Dexia, and they may have agreed on a common interest - they may have intended to establish a religious state with the dark goddess Ereda as their faith.

In this way, the Three Prophets can become the Pope or a higher priest than the Pope, the Knights of Dusk can become the National Order, and the Knights of Dusk can become lords everywhere.

As for Bridget - if you want to do great things, you have to pay some sacrifices, and Bridget's troops are probably used for sacrifice......
