The white pole Sarah was talking about was actually a long wooden pole with horizontal branches at her feet, painted white - Sigismund and the others were holding this pole just now, creating the scene of Sarah floating in the air.

Sarah is actually half-seated and half-standing on the cross-branch of the wooden pole, which is completely invisible from a distance against the background of the snow.

If viewed from the bottom of the mountain, it would seem that Sarah's position would seem higher, but in reality, she and Sigismund were both behind the temple wall.

The reason for this was not to make Sarah 'hang' in the air, but to avoid avalanches......

Sigismund hails from the northern Raven Realm, where there are many snow-capped mountains, and he knows very well that too much noise can easily lead to avalanches.

But the location of the temple would certainly not be affected by the avalanche - this is obvious, otherwise the temple would have long ceased to exist, and it would not have been Sigismund's turn to burn it.

So, next to the temple is safe.

The horse was not a real horse, but the head and armor of the demon warhorse, which were also supported by wooden poles, and even its posture of attacking Sarah was made of wooden poles.

The head of the Demon War Horse is the trophy left by Sigismund after he had dealt with the Monty Python Knight of the Dreaded Legion on the seashore.

Keeping the head of the beast as a trophy is a habit that many warriors have, and it is also the capital to brag about in the future.

And the Demon War Horse, which has horns on its head, looks like a combination of a horse and a cow - this is relatively rare, and it can be used to brag about at least eight bottles of wine......

At that time, most of the demon war horses were ordered to be killed by Li Ang, after all, they couldn't control it, so they could only remove those horse armors, and they couldn't leave these terrible mounts to the enemy anyway.

Like those undead knights, the Demon Warhorse is also an undead - in fact, after removing the horse armor, it is a dried corpse, and if it does not damage its skull, then it will still not die, and its eyes will still glow red.

That's why the Centurion with five spears couldn't kill a demon horse.

In fact, Leon had been furious when he dismantled these demon horses - if he hadn't blocked them in the sea, if he had allowed them to run ashore, these undead creatures in full horse armor would have been much more difficult to deal with than Monty Python Knights......

Of course, the explosion effect is a grenade, which is not too powerful, but it is more than enough to blow a set of horse armor apart.

As for the smoke created when Sarah disappeared, it was just a direct ignition of some gunpowder, after all, Sarah's jump from the wooden pole cannot be seen.

The whole process is to create a 'Yunomia defeated Vata'......

Sarah is a good actor, although she is better at singing and dancing, but it is no problem to broadcast a scene pantomime live from a distance, although she is shivering from the cold, but there is no performance accident.

Allowing devout believers to see their own gods killed by another god may be more effective than killing them outright......

And most importantly, perhaps in the near future, the Dexia people will convert their faith......

Not yet, of course.

Now, all the Dexia people are busy weeping in grief, and they have not yet thought about changing their gods and worshipping them.

From time to time, devout believers can be seen behaving themselves or disemboweling themselves on the spot.

In particular, most of the dervishes who wore headbands killed themselves at the foot of the holy mountain.

On the contrary, the few 'enlightened monks' in the middle, wearing gold and silver, and wearing brocade robes, looked more sober, and they all looked left and right in panic, and they had already begun to run away, and they didn't seem to care about the life or death of the god Watta at all......

Although the Dexia herdsmen were outnumbered, they were basically completely unmotivated, so the troops of Leon and Agathon did not kill too many people.

Leon's order was simply to disperse the Desha and get the horses over - he wanted these Desha people who had 'witnessed' the killing of the god Vata to pass the news on to more people......

Letting these monks and herdsmen from the Holy Mountain personally tell others that the Holy Mountain is gone, and the god Watta is gone, is definitely more effective than the news spread by outsiders.

To be honest, it's not easy to disperse these Desya.

Although they basically didn't have the heart to resist at all, their current state was like the ancestral tomb being struck by lightning, most of them were sluggish, and they didn't know how to dodge in the face of swords.

Fortunately, the warriors of the Lion Realm still pay more or less attention to a little chivalry, and they do not easily poison those who do not resist, otherwise it would be much easier to kill them than to drive them away.

Li Ang's troops were pushing and pushing and kicking together, and it took half a day to gradually break them up.

A few hours later, the foot of the holy mountain was barely cleared.

Most of the Dexia staggered away on foot, and their lost state was clearly unfit for horseback riding, so the lord kindly took in their horses.

A small number of people had planned to run away from the beginning, so they were tied up at the foot of the holy mountain and taken prisoner.

In fact, most of these captives were the leaders or nobles of some small tribes, as well as those who were 'highly educated' - in fact, Li Ang didn't know how to distinguish the clan leaders at all, and it was the soldiers under his command who consciously caught those who were the first to run away.

It was then discovered that all the people who had been captured for trying to escape were the nobles of Dexia, and that most of the poor herdsmen were indeed more religious.

Of course, there were also a handful of overly religious people who went crazy on the spot and attacked indiscriminately - and then they turned into corpses, piled up at the foot of the holy mountain.

General Agathon also got his wish and got a large number of horses, and even the number could be easily counted, which should be close to two thousand, because almost every soldier under his command led two horses.

These Bacchus warriors had never kept horses and didn't know how to drive them, so they had to use the ......

"Count Leon, is this why you asked me to take these 'masterless war horses'?"

Agathon no longer doubted that Leon was fooling him, because he had already determined that Leon was using him to attract firepower!

Merely...... Judging from the results, Leon did not lie to him - he did get a large number of horses, more than expected.

"Agathon, words of thanks need not be said......"

Li Ang looked at his subordinates who were driving the horses around him, and smiled at Agasong: "After this vote is over, I will also go back to Changhe Town, but don't forget the debt you owe me!" Otherwise, I'll have plenty of excuses to attack the Bacchus Empire at any time to collect debts! ”

Thank?

Agasong was stunned, I have been trapped on the mountain for more than 20 days, killing half of the holy mountain soaked in blood, dragging thousands of Dexia people, and ensuring your retreat......

I have to thank you for co-authoring?

But Agasong's words were blocked by debt, he shook his head and shook Li Ang's hand, hesitated for a while, and finally only said one sentence: "Good means." ”

It seems that he doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

With so many horses, the task given to him by Emperor Marius must have been overfulfilled;

Having destroyed the faith of the Dexia people and dispersed the herdsmen under the Ghazi Mountains, Eichkoman's safety was certainly more assured.

This is all something to be happy about.

But the debt owed to this guy is really hard to repay......

And as Leon said, if this debt is not repaid, then Leon can 'lead troops to collect debts' at any time, and Agathon really does not want to face such a good opponent on the battlefield.

However, Agathon's had already asked these days, and many of Bacchus' scholars, including Justus, said that dragon tears did exist, but they didn't know where to find them!

So the famous general of the empire was so worried that he led his troops on the road back to Eichkoman.

At dusk, Leon waited for Emir Xerxes at the foot of Mount Ghazi.

Emilexerxes was indeed dressed like a 'hero' at this time, dressed in shining gold armor, looking extremely conspicuous, wearing a pointed crown helmet on his head, and the saber in his hand was also golden - this thing was afraid that it was not very lethal, and could only be used for posing.

He only brought a hundred men, but after seeing Leon's banner, Emir Xerxes heroically launched a 'charge' directly.

It looks like a brave surprise attack with fewer enemies.

And Leon's large army, in the face of this charge of Emir Xerxes, began to retreat.

This was originally the result of an agreement between Leon and Emir Xerxes, but in the eyes of outsiders, Leon's troops carried too much booty to be suitable for skirmishes. In the face of a surprise attack when it is getting dark, it is not clear the number of enemies, and it is indeed understandable to retreat directly.

As a result, the 'captives' who were tied up at the foot of Mount Ghazi, the high monks and the nobles of the tribes, were 'rescued' by Emir Xerxes.

The next day, Emir Xerxes got his wish and became the true Bahad Khan.

Although the ceremony was rudimentary and not many people participated, it was still in the tradition of Dexia that a selection meeting was held at the foot of the sacred mountain, and a 'coronation' was carried out under the remnants of the temple on the sacred mountain.

The monks are still trying to rebuild the sacred mountain, claiming that the gods will not be killed, but only temporarily asleep, and that as long as the temple is rebuilt, the god Watta will return and become stronger......

However, it is difficult to say whether their argument can still be believed by the Dexia people, or whether the rebuilt holy mountain is still not the temple of the god Vata.

The chieftains and nobles of the tribes had lost their tribes, so they had a new place to go, the city of Toba.

Emir Xerxes got the Bahad Khan and the army he wanted, and he even assembled a noble cavalry.

This cavalry is indeed all Dexia nobles, and all of them are equipped with Dexia plate armor - this is not real plate armor, but riveted armor made of leather and steel sheets, which is far less protective than plate armor, but more suitable for desert environments.

Emir Xerxes has brought in a whole new group of nobles to help him rule the city of Toba.

Coupled with the fact that Alina is in Eichkoman's way, he does now have the same capital as Cardin.

……

Three days later, north of Mount Ghazi, in a valley outside the city of Eichkoman.

Emilexerxes found Leon, but at this time, he was dressed only in black robes, with a team of horses, and looked like a merchant selling horses.

He's here to settle the final payment.

"Emir Great Khan, where's your golden armor?"

Leon asked with a grin.

"That's a gift for you...... I packed it in a box. ”

Emilexerxes pointed to the team of horses he had brought.

There were hundreds of horses and a dozen wagons, and in addition to hay and horse feed, there were some large wooden boxes.

"You have the good qualities of honesty and trustworthiness, Emir Xerxes Khan, then our deal is all done......"

Li Ang complimented, but the tone of his words changed again: "There won't be blood on the contents of the box, right?" ”

Emirxerxes was silent for a moment, then replied expressionlessly: "It's clean, at least, it's clean for you...... This was cobbled together from the various tribal leaders. ”

After saying that, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not for honesty and trustworthiness, I just know that if I don't pay, you may sell me to Cardin......"

Leon grinned, "You're much smarter than I thought...... Great Khan, I won't make any more deals with Cardin, rest assured. If you need support, you can go to Ramon for help, such as necessities like weapons and equipment, or combat power like mercenaries - of course, for a fee. ”

"I guess Ramon would say that to Cardin like that, right?"

Emile Xerxes asked, staring into Leon's eyes.

"Perhaps."

Leon replied with a smile: "But you need him, and you need me ......"

"The Bacchus are right, you are indeed a devil......"

Emilexerxes whispered, turned and left.

"Cardin's army has set out for Toba City, you better hurry up and hurry back, or Brigitte will probably fall into Cardin's arms again."

Li Ang said lightly behind his back.

Emir Xerxes stopped and turned around: "You...... How did you get the news? ”

"Because this is Eichkoman. Emir, maybe you don't know ......"

Leon took out a knife and tossed it in his hand: "Ramon sends a message to the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood every day......"

The blade of the knife has a scorpion coat of arms.

With a look of horror in his eyes, Emir Xerxes gave Leon a deep look, and turned to leave.

"Lord Leon, why did you scare him with a Scorpio assassin? Are you worried that he will hire assassins against you? ”

After Emir left, Alina walked out of the valley.

"I'm not scaring him, Ramon is indeed helping the Scorpio Assassin take over the business."

Leon put away the knife in his hand: "Moreover, now the Scorpio assassins will also do some mercenary business - if you need to, you can hire them to join the army, but the price is really expensive......"

"I don't need to hire them - if an enemy comes to attack Eichkoman, the Scorpio Assassins will do it to keep their station, so why should I spend that unjust money?"

Alina is obviously not easy to fool, she is not a Descha rebel like the Emir, and she does not intend to let the arms dealers collect wool.

"You are as shrewd as Emperor Marius, and I even think you are his own daughter now......"

Leon looked at Alina, shook his head and smiled.

"No, it's mainly because I'm poor...... There's really no money to hire them. ”

Alina's eyes kept glancing at the horses brought by Emir Xerxes: "You promised ...... before"

"Okay, okay...... I'll leave these horses to you, as I said before. ”

Li Ang sighed: "You are indeed Marius's own daughter...... But Alina, when my troops leave Descha's territory, Descha will be even more chaotic than before, and Eichkoman will definitely face many dangers. I suggest you hurry back home and keep Ikram here. ”

Leon's words are indeed well-intentioned, if Cardin can't capture Toba City, then he will definitely fight Eichkoman's idea.

At the same time, other forces may also make moves, such as Shalafan Sheikh and the Inquisition, and even the Three Prophets and the Knights of Dusk.

There will be a succession of great chaos in Dexia, and it will indeed be dangerous.

But Alina hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "I ...... I don't really dare to go back......"
