Business is not very easy to do in these years, after all, when the delivery is always to guard against the customer's black, even if everything goes well, there will always be arrears when settling the final payment......

But in fact, Leon knew that Emir Xerxes would definitely not have any thoughts that he should not have—he would not dare to offend himself at this time.

Not because Emir Xerxes was timid, but because he needed the support of other forces too much at the moment.

- Cardin's army is coming.

This is something that everyone is aware of, and the emir is naturally aware of it.

In fact, if Leon hadn't taken him out of Singar, neither he nor Brigi would have dared to leave Ramon's hotel, where Cardin was preparing his army.

Cardin's preparation of a large army was naturally aimed at recovering the lost territory, but the first place he wanted to regain was certainly not Eichkoman, but his own old city of Wotoba.

Leon had Adiz and the Griffontal's female soldiers perform a scene in Toba City, causing the Dexia Wind Catcher to make a false alarm, leading Cardin to believe that Brigitte was a 'usurper' and had taken over Toba City.

If it was just Brigitte's intention to forcibly establish a 'kingdom of God' in Toba City, then Cardin would certainly not be too worried, because the belief of the Dexia people in the god Vata was deep-rooted, and Brigi, the so-called 'Desert Prophet', would not be able to form much influence for a while, and the Dexia people would not really follow him.

Brigitte alone is a 'usurper', but he can't really usurp the throne.

As long as Cardin can appear under the city of Toba with a large army in the short term, the city of Toba and the surrounding tribes will inevitably return to the banner of his Bahad Khan.

But it would be completely different if Brigitte and Emilexerxes were together—Emilexerxes was Cardin's own brother.

Whether Brigitte controls Emile Xerxes or defects to him, the effect is the same, as long as Emile Xerxes is there, he can really usurp the throne!

Therefore, Leon wanted to sell Toba City to Emir Xerxes, in fact, in order to confirm this 'usurpation'.

In fact, Emile Xerxes also knew that if he got Toba City, he would inevitably face Cardin's crazy counterattack.

Because of this, Leon wanted to take Emile Xerxes to meet with Alina, and let the city of Toba and Eichkoman watch and help each other, otherwise Emile Xerxes would not dare to buy it.

And now, Emile Xerxes has made a reasonable request to Leon.

"Count Leon, I don't intend to pay the bills, I will definitely pay the money that should be paid, and I am even willing to sign an agreement with you to continue to provide you with horses and mineral ...... in the future."

Emir Xerxes was quite sincere: "But I want your army to stay outside the city of Toba for a month. I can provide pay and food for your army - this is also to ensure that the deal is actually completed. ”

Leon looked at Emir Xerxes with some surprise and did not speak for a moment.

And the emir, the middle-aged man who looked ordinary, also looked at Leon quietly.

In fact, this requirement is not excessive, since it is a transaction, of course, it should provide customers with a little necessary after-sales service.

Emir Xerxes wanted after-sales service for Leon to buy him a month so that he could take full control of Toba City and prepare the supplies and manpower for defending the city.

And he didn't open his mouth indiscriminately, all he wanted was a month, and he also offered to pay for food, grass and military salaries.

But after a few seconds of silence, Leon shook his head and refused.

The Emir wanted time, but Leon didn't have that much time - Eric had already reported to him about Ellen and Forsette, and Leon had to settle the battle in Descha as soon as possible and return to Long River with his troops.

"Emir Xerxes Khan, I know what you're worried about. But my troops can't stay here, I have other things to do. ”

Leon's expression was also very sincere: "But I can still buy you at least a month...... I guarantee that Toba City will not be under any attack during this time. ”

"What guarantees do you have?"

Emile Xerxes's face sank.

"I can guarantee this with the real Bahad Khan throne! Looks like I'll have to tell you about my plans first......"

Leon suddenly laughed: "Emir, you have been claiming that you should also be Bahad Khan, but this statement is not recognized, even if you defeat Cardin in Toba City, you will not become Bahad Khan." Because the real Bahad Khan needs to be elected by all tribes, especially those around Mount Ghazi, after all, the 'messenger of the gods' must at least be recognized by the temple of the holy mountain. ”

"I know that...... That's why I'm trying to figure out how you're going to get me the title of Bahad Khan. ”

Emile Xerxes looked at Leon suspiciously.

"More than 20 years ago, Cardin abandoned the nomadic tribes beneath the Ghazi Mountains and became Bahad Khan by seduction and force of hereditary office. And you should become the leader of the nomadic tribes abandoned by Cardin - I will let you get the title of Bahad Khan by the way of tribal nomination, because this is the true tradition of Dexia, the highest legal principle! Only then will you have the ability to stand up to Cardin! ”

Leon's voice gradually became excited: "Therefore, my troops must go to the foot of Mount Ghazi immediately...... I'm going to join forces with the Bacchus and breach those nomadic tribes along with the temple on Mount Ghazi! ”

"As long as Kadan gets the news, he will inevitably have to go to the rescue of Mount Ghazi - if the Holy Mountain falls, then he is not qualified to be a Bahad Khan!"

"But you, Venerable Emir Xerxes Khan, you will be the 'savior' of the Holy Mountain before Cardin! I can even single-handedly 'drive the combined forces of the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus out of Dexia'......"

"And...... I will burn down the temple of the Holy Mountain! In other words, you can fiddle with it as much as you want in the future—it's up to you to rebuild the 'Templar' and build the Templar exactly what you want! ”

"In this way, you will gain a higher reputation than Cardin! At the same time, it will inevitably have the support of all the tribes and the approval of the 'gods'! ”

"Then, while Cardin is still on his way, you can return to Toba City with the tribes under the Holy Mountain—I'm sure you'll be able to confront Cardin head-on!"

"How's that, Emir, what do you think of the service I provide? With a price of only two million dinars, isn't it a good deal? ”

Leon's smile deepened.

These words are really all true, and Leon really intends to do so.

Due to the fact that Ramon's auction attracted most of the people's attention, and because Cardin needed to organize an army in Singar, Cardin and Emir Xerxes and others did not know about General Agathon's burning of Mount Ghazi.

In fact, there were people from the other side of Mount Ghazi who came to Toba to report the news, but all of them were intercepted by Leon's army - Mount Gazi was not far from Toba and Eichkoman, and the messengers either went to Eichkoman or Toba City.

But before that, Echkoman was jointly controlled by the Bacchus Empire and Leon, and the city of Toba was also occupied by Leon, so the people who reported it were naturally all prisoners or corpses.

And now, Leon has withdrawn the army to Fondal, which is supposed to intercept all the Dexia people who have come out of the vicinity of Mount Ghazi and continue to block information.

In other words, although Li Ang said a lot of plans, there was only one thing that Li Ang's troops actually needed to solve at the moment - to defeat the Dexia herdsmen who were besieging Agathon.

And it was a necessary thing to do, and Sigismund and Sarah were helping Agatson with a group of gladiators, and they were also surrounded on Mount Ghazi.

They were all members of the Silver Hand, and Leon had to get them out.

In other words, Lord Lord, this is a business along the way, and he earns two million along the way......

"Whew...... Count Leon, I have to say, your plan ...... Reasonable. ”

Emile Xerxes had been listening to Leon's words, and even listened a little excitedly, and he nodded: "If everything is as you say, then I will definitely do what you want!" ”

He even used 'you'.

"So...... Isn't it time for you to pay? One million, the final payment of the city of Toba; Another million had to be paid, which was an advance payment for the Bahad Khan, and now a total of two million had to be paid. After the work is done, we will pay the balance of 1 million - we will do everything according to the rules and traditions. Like I will also make you Bahad Khan according to the rules and traditions......"

Li Ang counted the accounts with a smile: "I will only work when I receive the money, you better hurry up......"

"It's already afternoon...... Tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning I will give you two million dinars and a penny. ”

Emile Xerxes looked at the sky, nodded at Leon, and left the barracks and ran towards the city of Toba.

I can't wait.

…………

That night, everyone in Toba couldn't sleep all night.

The four gates of the city were closed, and there was a greater uproar in the city than during the battle.

The cries, shouts, and screams continued throughout the night.

The huge noise even spread several miles away, and Risa Dilan and Leon, who had the best ears, did not sleep all night.

"My lord, they ...... It's like ......"

Risadilan was well-informed, and he could recognize what was going on in the city.

"I know. If he wanted to raise two million dinars overnight, of course he had to do that. Actually, if he doesn't do it tonight, then I'll let you shoot him tomorrow......"

Li Ang said lightly.

"My lord, are you doing this to attack Dexia again in the future?"

Risadilan probably thought that Leon was for his future rule.

But Leon shook his head: "No, I told you, Risa Dilan, I am a selfish person, I will only help my own people, but the Dexia people will not become my own people...... So I just want to squeeze Dexia dry, and use the wealth that the Dexia people have stolen from elsewhere to make life better for the people in my own territory. ”

Leon had a very different attitude towards the Bacchus and the Deschas.

There was a Red Death in the Bacchus Empire, and he was really willing to help, because the Bacchus people had been creating wealth with their labor.

But he had no sympathy for the Desha people in Toba, who were not much more than the Gatu, and whose property was almost all looted, especially the so-called 'civilized people' who lived in the capital.

It's just that he can't do such a thing with his own hands, and if he gets his hands dirty, it will be difficult to wash them.

Probably everyone in Toba City did not expect that the army of the Lion Kingdom, which had been entrenched in Toba City for several days, had never committed any offense against the city, but these Dexia soldiers, who were their own compatriots, plundered the city instead.

And this looting was completely indiscriminate - neither nobles nor commoners, not even beggars.

The soldiers would raid all the houses, all the valuables, and the gold and silver jewellery worn by the people would be ripped off.

If there is resistance, shoot directly.

It was cleaner than the bandits, and there was basically nothing left, not even food and kitchen knives, not even metal spoons, which was exactly what most of the Dexia troops did when they arrived in the towns of other countries.

In fact, this is also what these Dexia people in Toba City used to do in the realm of the lion or the territory of Bacchus.

Of course, some of the soldiers will do something extra......

Thus, the blood-stained scimitar, the hideous laughter, the corpses all over the ground, the naked women, the crying children, and the blood-soaked yellow sand all made up the first night of Emile Xerxes's entry into the city of Toba.

Perhaps at this time, the people of Toba City would prefer that this place be permanently occupied by Leon's army.

Although the Lion Kingdom has different beliefs and different ethnic groups, it is at least much more acceptable than killing and plundering......

Perhaps, for Emile Xerxes, this was what he had to do when he arrived in Toba.

Not only to raise money for the army, but also to ensure that there were no more of Cardin's men in the city, and at the same time to keep the people of Toba without food and clothing, and to rely on the 'bounty' of Emir Xerxes.

It's not that Emir Xerxes doesn't know how to win the hearts of the people, but the current situation does not support him to slowly subdue the hearts of the people in Toba City, and he wants to use the fastest speed to make this city only have his voice.

After depriving the people of the city of all their possessions, iron tools, and food, Emir Xerxes could force the people of the city to temporarily obey by controlling the slaves, and Bridget's methods could also come in handy.

That's why he said he would need a month to prepare.

But since Emilexerxes had done so, there could no longer be room for détente between him and Cardin, or the faction represented by Cardin.

Early the next morning, dozens of carriages drove out of the city of Toba and drove straight into the military camp where Li Ang was.

The carriage was laden with gold, silver, jewelry, and precious yarn, but it was not boxed—probably not in time.

Leon could even see that many of the cloths and jewelry were still stained with blood.

"I don't know exactly how much these things are worth, but definitely not less than two million dinars...... I am a man of the rules, Lord Leon, and now let's go to Mount Gazi. ”

Emile Xerxes's eyes were blood-red, but his spirits were still strong.

"My troops are gone, just prepare your flag."

Leon nodded calmly at Emile Xerxes.

Then Leon turned around and went into the barracks, and explained to Eric: "Divide these things into categories, we will keep only gold and silver, and the rest will be boxed...... Do you know where Malbert lives now? ”

"My lord, Malbert has just been made Lord of Sava Castle."

Eric keenly understood Leon's intentions.

"Very good...... Divide everything other than gold and silver into two parts. The big one you take the convoy around Fort Sava a few more times and wait for someone to grab it, and if no one comes, you grab it yourself...... For the remainder, you take the 'remnants' to the Lion City and present them to King Ulrique...... You know how to do it. ”

Leon patted Eric on the shoulder: "By the way, let the king give you a knighthood." ”

"I don't want the title of King Ulrique...... I know how to do it, my lord, don't worry. ”

Eric again rejects Leon's offer.

"Be careful, it's a dangerous task, and Malbert isn't a good guy."

Leon nodded, picked up a spear and walked out of the barracks: "Blow the trumpet!" Ready to go! ”
