Alistair probably does know a lot of information, but his current condition is not very good and he cannot be questioned yet.
In fact, his life was not in danger, and he did not fall into a coma. Even the wound on his crotch was treated by Jocelyn, and it stopped bleeding.
Jocelyn showed a certain degree of kindness towards Alistair. After all, this was his former comrade-in-arms, and the two did have a friendship.
However, since Alistair was hit by Li Ang's Severing Offspring Sword, his eyes have been dull and lost, and he has ignored everything. He didn't even react when Jocelyn took off his pants to treat the injury.
The whole person's state is basically the same as that of a male cat that has just undergone sterilization surgery, which perfectly explains what it means to be "born without love".
This is understandable. Any man who gets cut off will definitely be depressed.
It wasn't until Jocelyn handed him a small clay pot sealed with wax that he had a little reaction - he held the small clay pot tightly in his arms and began to cry silently without saying a word.
What was in that jar was the half...'stump' that Jocelyn took out from Alistair's crotch.
Li Ang is unable to question this hopeless guy for the time being - Alistair is in such a state that he cannot ask questions, and his hostility towards Li Ang is definitely at its peak.
After all, it was the Lord who did it himself.
"It seems that Brigi will indeed escape... Ediz, do you know anything else about Brigi? Where do you think he will go?"
Li Ang plans to get some information from Ediz first.
"Lord Li Ang, I only know that Brigi once said that he would build something like 'Divine Kingdom', but I don't know much about him... I thought at first he was a kind man who generously lent me money."
Ediz replied.
He probably didn't know much, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled.
But even this sentence is enough.
The lord had an idea at that time. "Ediz, Brigi, what kind of equipment did you wear last night? Go and get a set that is exactly the same..."
After sending Ediz away, Li Ang first started to deal with Toba City's war.
Toba City is currently basically occupied by Li Ang, but it can only be called 'basic occupation' and cannot be called 'complete control'.
Because Dexian people in the city is just afraid of Li Ang's army and no longer openly resists for the time being, but there must be many rebels secretly hiding in the city. Li Ang must always be prepared for assassinations or sneak attacks.
However, the inner fortress and the bank have indeed been completely received. The bank has not yet been inventoried, but the materials stored in the bank are not very large. It is initially estimated that the inventory inside is worth about half a million dinars - which is really too little for a national treasury.
Fortunately, they are all high-value hard currencies such as gold, silver and velvet, so they are very easy to carry.
The inner castle was basically undamaged, but the warehouses inside the castle were basically empty. Apparently Kadan took away most of the valuable things.
Kadan is recruiting troops from all over the place, so it is expected that most of the property will be taken away.
And Toba City is currently closed and acting quite quiet, but this is actually not what a newly conquered city should be like.
In fact, most cities will always have some sporadic resistance.
If there is no resistance at all and nothing happens, it can only mean that there must be many Dexia soldiers loyal to Kadan hidden in the houses.
This instead means risk.
"Sir, manpower has been deployed everywhere in the city. Do you need to clear all the residents in the city into the streets... I mean, do you want to publicly execute those prisoners?"
Toba City In the inner fort, Eric began to ask for instructions on how to handle the situation.
Eric's martial arts skills are not good, so he basically does not need to go to the battlefield during combat. His main job within the group army is the palm print officer, and he also serves as the logistics officer - in fact, these are the two highest civilian positions in the army.
Of course, these two positions were originally mainly to facilitate Eric to control those businessmen.
But now that the merchants are no longer in the team, Eric's main responsibility has become to convey instructions to other lords, that is, to dispatch the small lords who have joined the group army but are not directly under Li Ang.
Usually, after capturing an enemy city, the conqueror would gather the residents together to announce some orders or policies.
Sometimes the policy is moderate - this is when the conqueror intends to rule for a long time;
And more often than not, the orders will be cruel, even cruel - for example, when it is necessary to attract the rebels hiding among the residents, some prisoners may be publicly executed in a cruel and killing way.
Eric's intention is obviously the latter - he knows that his boss has no intention of occupying Toba City for a long time, he just needs to completely eliminate Toba City and ensure safety.
"No, Eric, just declare martial law and order that no one is allowed to take to the streets. There is no need to clear the city. We don't need to attract hatred... Anyway, I don't plan to be stationed in the city."
Li Ang shook his head, turned and walked outside the inner fort, giving instructions as he walked. "Seal the door of the inner fort, and ask Kloze to empty the bank in the city, and don't leave anything valuable..."
Walking outside the inner castle, Li Ang turned around and asked Wendy behind him, "Where are those female knights? Call them here... and get some sets of Omen Seeker's equipment by the way."
Those female knights are the eight female explorers sent by Amy. Sarah and Sigismund went to Gazi Holy Mountain. These eight female apprentice knight temporarily served as the guards of Li Ang together with Wendy.
"Sir, do you want them to change into Omen Seeker's equipment?"
Wendy was very smart and guessed Li Ang's plan.
"Yes... since Brigi ran away, in order to prevent him from ruining my affairs, I naturally have to prevent him from seeing Kadan..."
Li Ang nodded.
In fact, the Lord is not sure whether Brigi was hired by Kadan, but in any case, Brigi cannot be allowed to see Kadan, otherwise Ramon may face big trouble.
Li Ang doesn't want Ramon to be killed by Kadan.
"Sir, Brigi has escaped. How can we prevent a person who has escaped from seeing Kadan?"
Wendy means he doesn't understand.
"It's very simple. Just make him afraid to see Kadan... Toba City has Kadan's trusted troops 'Windrider'. They will definitely tell Kadan everything that happens in the city - so there is no need to purge them, leaving them to report to Kadan."
Li Ang smiled, "I plan to make Brigi the 'usurper'!"
Four days later, Xingar.
Bahad Khan Kadan In the castle of Xingar city lord Tahir, I met a Dexia Windrider from Toba City.
"Supreme Bahad Khan, Toba City are occupied by the enemy... but the one who occupies Toba City is not Lionheart Kingdom's Li Ang, but that bastard Brigi!"
This Dexia Windrider was covered in dust and exhausted, but he still brought the news to Kadan without resting for a moment.
Being able to cross the 600-mile desert from Toba City to Xingar in four days, this Windrider really risked his life and was obviously a loyal and good general.
"Brigi?! What's going on?"
Kadan The invitation in his hand fell to the ground - it was an invitation from Ramon's auction, made of gold foil.
"Brigi deceived us. He colluded with the Lionheart Kingdom's army, so that Li Ang led the army to capture Toba City. Then Li Ang took away the city's banknotes, and Lionheart Kingdom's army also withdrew from Toba City... Subsequently, Brigi announced that he would establish a new Divine Kingdom in Toba City! He would become the new Bahad Khan as 'Desert Prophet'! He even made several Omen Seekers caliphs and bhays – he usurped the throne!"
Windrider said this with some anger, because he saw all this with his own eyes...
Li Ang took away the gold and silver belongings in Toba City's treasury, but did not occupy Toba City. Instead, he left the city to 'Brigi'.
From the perspective of this Windrider, all this is obvious - Brigi colluded with Li Ang, Li Ang wants wealth, Brigi wants Toba City, each gets what he needs.
It is understandable that Li Ang does not occupy the city. Most people with a little bit of brains can realize that Toba City cannot become Li Ang's territory, so it is normal for Li Ang to only take away wealth and not occupy the city.
In the eyes of most people, as long as Toba is captured, Li Ang will have completed its mission of leading the army, which will prove Lionheart Kingdom's dignity and make up for all losses from Toba City's treasury.
As for who will get Toba... It really doesn't matter to Li Ang. It's difficult for the Lionheart Kingdom to effectively rule here anyway.
And Brigi...
When Li Ang was attacking the city, he deliberately arranged for drug addicts to go up the city wall and disrupt the city defense deployment. This was ironclad evidence of colluding with the enemy;
Later, while persisting in street fighting resistance in the city, he suddenly disappeared again, which is also irrefutable evidence;
But when Li Ang left Toba City, Brigi appeared in the inner castle again, and sat on Bahad Khan's throne, and declared that Toba would become the 'capital of the Divine Kingdom'... This was a complete usurpation of the throne.
Of course, the 'Brigi' who claimed to 'establish Divine Kingdom' in Toba was the one the Lord asked Ediz to pretend to be.
Those Omen Seeker are also fake.
But this Windrider can't tell the difference...
Ediz is also Xingar. After putting on the clothes of Brigi, it can basically look like the real one.
The angry Kadan turned to look at Tahir beside him, and slapped him. "Didn't you say that Brigi guy is reliable?"
Tahir covered his slapped face, and there was anger in his eyes. "Bahad Khan, I admit that I am not familiar with people... but Brigi cannot control Toba City in a short time. As long as he writes his reward to various taverns, this usurper's head will soon appear in front of you..."
Sometimes you don't need to kill people to eliminate the threat, you just need to act...
At this time, Brigi was crossing the desert with difficulty.
He did not ride a horse when he escaped from Toba City. In order to avoid being tracked, he did not dare to go to surrounding villages and towns to find means of transportation.
Brigi, who was walking across the desert, moved much slower than Windrider, who was deliberately released from Toba City by Li Ang...
Moreover, Brigi was completely unaware that his own employer had already decided that he was a usurper - just like when he was Ediz's employer a few days ago, he also decided that Ediz was secretly hiding money.
You always have to pay back if you come out to hang out...
In the past few days, Li Ang has received some information one after another from Jocelyn, which comes from Alistair.
The eunuch was gradually able to talk to Jocelyn for a few words. Although most of the time he was complaining about himself and there was no real communication, Alistair's resentment could actually reveal a lot of information.
Coupled with some of his own analysis, the lord basically has a map in his mind.
Dusk Knight Order's mission to capture Li Ang is obviously related to Three Prophets.
Three Prophets was originally the priest of Goddess of Justice Astaria - obviously, they were originally from the Buckley Continent.
And now, they are disciples of darkness Goddess Eredar.
Dusk Knight Order also believed in Goddess of Justice when they first separated from Dawn Knight Order, who also came from the Buckley Continent.
And now they have also converted to Dark Goddess. Although they have always claimed to 'correct Dawn Knight Order', Twilight Knight have not done any good deeds. Instead, they secretly make trouble everywhere. The only advantage is probably that they will not burn, kill and loot in the name of gods like Dawn Knight Order.
As for Brigi, he is not from Barkley, he is Xingar, but the headquarters of Dusk Knight Order is in Xingar.
Moreover, Brigi's way of acting is very strange, like a fusion of Dawn Knight Order, Dusk Knight Order and Three Prophets - calling himself 'Desert Prophet', using poison to control his subordinates, and using deception to strengthen his team, this is Three Prophets's way;
In addition, like Dawn Knight Order, he claims to 'kill evil spirits', and the method of killing evil spirits is also Dawn Knight Order's method of using fire to judge;
And Dusk Knight Order, with the purpose of 'correcting' Dawn Knight Order, appears here to cooperate with him again...
Obviously, the mysterious sect of Brigi is actually a branch of the dark Goddess Eredar sect; and Brigi's troops are probably one of the ways Dusk Knight Order "corrects" Dawn Knight Order - to support a 'Desert Prophet' and let him do bad things in the name of gods.
In fact, Li Ang thinks that Dark Goddess should probably be called the 'God of Evil', because the forces that believe in Erebus are basically not decent. Probably just because no one wants to believe that he claims to be the God of Evil, so he was given the name 'Darkness'.
Li Ang speculates that Dark Goddess Eredar and Goddess of Justice Astaria are probably twins of one body, with two wills appearing in one godhead, and they will compete for control - in fact, it is a split personality.
Or it's called splitting the godhead...
Three Prophets is probably the spokesperson of Dark Goddess. They are the true prophets of the sect. After all, they can indeed use the divine power of Erebus - in other words, Three Prophets is the 'church power'.
And Dusk Knight Order is the representative of the ruling class who believes in the dark Goddess Eredar, which is the 'secular aristocratic force'.
As for Brigi and his army of addicts, they are most likely cannon fodder jointly supported by Three Prophets and Dusk Knight Order to do dirty work...
When they unite, they can be regarded as the prototype of a theocratic kingdom. This structure is actually the structure of the Bacchus Empire many years ago - starting hundreds of years ago, the emperors of the Bacchus Empire need to be crowned by the pope, otherwise they will not be regarded as orthodox.
It was not until Bacchus Empire expelled Dawn Knight Order more than ten years ago 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 Three Prophets and Dusk Knight Order want to recreate a theocratic country in the Pande Continent - this is probably indeed the wish of the dark Goddess Eredar.
Three Prophets and Dusk Knight Order obviously want to subvert Lionheart Kingdom and Duchy of Dexia, and they may even have agreed on common interests - they may intend to establish a religious country based on the dark Goddess Eredar.
In this way, Three Prophets can become the pope or a priest with a higher status than the pope, while Dusk Knight Order can become a national knight, and each Twilight Knight can also become a lord in various places.
As for Brigi--If you want to achieve great things, you have to make some sacrifices. Brigi's troops are probably used for sacrifice...
