Riding and Slashing

Chapter 156 Let the enemy deal with the enemy
Using the daughters of the family to marry to ensure the loyalty of the head of the army is something that most families will do.

It seems that Milgan has a way of hooking up with noble women...

But green hats are probably also the norm in noble families. Most of the marriages of great nobles are political marriages. There is really no emotional foundation between husband and wife. It is very common to have an affair in private.

Looking at Nelda's appearance, it seems that she thinks that Milgan is her true love.

But Nelda really can't go to Changhe Town with Milgan's team. She is the eldest daughter of Duke Alma and has stayed in Longhe Town for a long time. Many people in Changhe Town know her.

An affair is an affair, and no one will say anything if it is not made public, but if it is made public, her cuckold husband will have to lead the army to kill Milgan...

The Lion Lake City Banner Guard is nothing more than that, and more importantly, it is likely to face the anger of a duke - Nelda went to Milgan in the name of visiting her father, but she never went to see Alma, this lie is easy Goofy.

It may not matter to Alma that Nelda secretly met her lover, at most she would scold her.But in any case, Mirgan is sure to be unlucky.

but……

Alma is no longer in Sarleon so soon?
The lord did not know that Alma had escaped early, which was much earlier than he expected.

"...Mirgan, when did Duke Alma return to Lion Lake City?"

Li Ang has now realized that he probably underestimated Alma. To be able to return to Lion Lake City so quickly, the duke's methods are beyond the lord's expectations.

"About a week ago, and there was news that he had exiled his son Fawcett and a daughter as soon as he returned-this is a letter from Nelda's maid. So I have to send Nelda back quickly, I You are telling the truth, I really have no other thoughts, you can rest assured."

Milgan seemed sincere now.

Li Ang could see that what he said was indeed the truth, but this news was not good news for Li Ang...

A week ago, that was when Li Ang had just left White Hart Castle.

As soon as Alma returned, Fawcett was exiled, that is to say, Alma regained control of the Horton family in a very short period of time.

The duke's method was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Alma's return to power is definitely not in line with King Ulrik's wishes, and the king would not have been willing to let Alma get away so quickly—Alma must have received help from someone who cared.

"Isn't Alma still in a lawsuit? How could she get away so easily?"

Because of Nelda's reasons, Milgan must have been watching Alma's movements, and Li Ang felt that he should know the reason.

"It seems that Prince Alanric provided a guarantee for Duke Alma, and then Duke Brennus, who was in charge of the case, closed the case directly."

Prince Alanric again?

That's it!

This prince really needs to do this...

Since Alan Rick is buying people's hearts, he naturally wants to lose the king's hearts.

If he died in Sarleon City, many nobles would think that the king was crazy, and people like Godric would definitely not obey Ulrik's orders—then they would probably turn to support the prince.

The king is making trouble for Alma, and the prince can get the Duke's support if he helps Alma escape.

This prince seems to be a little impatient?

Li Ang thought it through now.

However, it was already very dangerous to be an enemy of the Duke of Alma, and now there are more enemies like Alanric and Milgan Kirik for no reason, the lord is naturally very unhappy.

They want their own lives, so the lord has to pay back...

A great man once said, make your enemies few and your friends many.

The lord has a unique understanding of this - he wants the enemy to deal with the enemy...

"Mirgan, Nelda's matter is easy to talk about, and I'm not interested in the love life of the two of you. I'm more concerned about my own life—your mercenary group should have been hired by the king to deal with Noldor ? Why did you take the task of killing me?"

Li Ang wanted to see if it was possible to persuade Milgan.

"Igor was also in touch with the king's employment of us. But he asked me to kill you in the Sarleon area first, and said that His Royal Highness could give me the pioneer baron certificate. I asked about it, and someone said you are a traitor. I thought it was the king's intention, so I took the job. Later, I saw that you have a lot of people, and Igor added another high price of [-] dinars... But yesterday I saw that you have so many troops from Lie Coming out of Lion City, I think I might have been fooled..."

Seeing that Li Ang was willing to agree to his request, Milgan was of course willing to explain the reason clearly. Anyway, his task is now useless.

"It seems that they are all promises, but nothing substantial is given to you...Mirgan, have you ever thought that Igor and Prince Alanric are deliberately asking you to fight me? I have so many convoys In Sarleon City, how could he be unaware? Knowing that I have so many people, Igor asked you to kill me... You know, if it is to assassinate me, Igor should find a professional killer , not looking for you!"

Li Ang found a breakthrough and began to provoke.

In fact, Igor definitely didn't know that Li Ang had so many people...

The convoy entered the city in batches, and Eric deliberately didn't let them wear heraldic burqas. Who would observe those transport convoys divided into dozens of people so carefully? It's normal not to be discovered.

But Milgan was really doubting this. He already thought it was very problematic for Igor to give him this business—at first he said that Li Ang was alone;
Later, it was discovered that there were hundreds of people around Li Ang, so Igor added a high price;

But now I found that they brought three to 400 people...

Thinking about it seriously from the standpoint of Milgan, it really seems to be deliberately provoking a struggle between the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group and Leon.

"I just think there is a problem with this, so I have already given up on this mission...Your Excellency Li Ang, what kind of enmity do you have with them? It is obvious that you are not a traitor if you have so many troops coming out of Sarleon City openly..."

Milgan frowned and agreed with Li Ang's statement.

"I think it's not that I have any grudge against them, they might be plotting against you, Milgan..."

Seeing that the mercenary leader seemed to be able to be fooled, Li Ang began to persuade and educate.

"How could I have any enmity with a prince..."

Milgan shook his head.

"It doesn't have to be because of hatred...Mirgan, you have hooked up with a lot of women. You should know that there are probably many nobles who want to kill you, but they are afraid that they will lose face if they say something..."

Li Ang looked at Nelda in the distance, and then looked back at the female explorers.

Milgan froze for a moment, then nodded, of course he agreed with this statement.

"Most of the time, they insist on coming together..."

He defended himself weakly, but it was not convincing.

"A few days ago there were rumors that I was treasonous. In fact, it was because the Bacchus Empire was framing me. I came to Sarleon because King Ulrik gave me permission to seek rebellion and gave me the use of gold The privilege of the coat of arms... You should be able to understand, at this time, what does it mean to kill me, a lord who has just been granted the privilege by the king? And the person who killed me, that is, you, is at odds with me at this time Conflict, what will be the consequences?"

Li Ang took out a contract signed with the king from his arms, and let Milgan take a look.

Milgan frowned deeply. Of course he knew what the golden coat of arms represented. Igor, or Prince Alanric, actually asked him to murder a loyal subject with the authority to seek rebellion...

"I have no enmity with Alan Rick, he is just taking the opportunity to entrap you! Milgan, as long as you do anything to me, your mercenary group will be classified as rebels! No matter whether you can kill me or not, In line with his wishes... plus I'm using the griffin coat of arms, hehe, Milgan, you have always claimed that your griffin equipment is a trophy-you can't even explain it when the time comes. Calculated!"

What Li Ang said was categorical, as if it was indeed the truth.

Milgan was already stunned, standing in his position, this matter seems to be really like this...

"Your Excellency Li Ang, you are right... But, a prince plotted against me? This... is unbelievable!"

He looked a little uncertain, but he had to admit that it was indeed possible.

"Who gave you an empty promise that you didn't keep... Whoever is plotting against you, Milgan, this principle is just like you hooking up with a girl, isn't it difficult to understand?"

Li Ang smiled, his words were ambiguous and unconvincing to others.But for Milgan, this is indeed the truth - he himself is the best at making empty promises to girls.

"But I don't understand, why did Alan Rick do this? He is a prince, does this approach do him any good..."

Li Ang's words are in line with Milgan's own behavioral logic, and he has obviously believed it, but his political ability is obviously not as good as his ability to deal with women.

"Haven't you ever thought about how other nobles would react to this? You should know that many nobles hate you... If you and I lose both sides, you will be identified as a rebel by Alan Rick, and then Alan Rick will Annihilate...those nobles whose wives or daughters were kidnapped by you, but have nothing to do with you, will be able to take revenge! They will be grateful to him, and will support him for this."

Li Ang glanced at Nelda in the distance, and began to guide Milgan's victim psychology.

"...I can understand this. If my mercenary group was not strong enough, I would have been killed by someone!"

Milgan did take it—of course he himself knew best what other men thought of him.

"Also, Nelda has shown up by your side, don't you think Igor doesn't know her? Igor is the head of the House of Nobles, and he knows most of the nobles."

Li Ang shook his head and smiled: "Alan Rick must know about you and Nelda. Since he can help Alma get out, it means that he wants to get Alma's support... and he provoked you and me to fight and lose. This is all to help Alma solve the problem, because Alma and I have a grudge, and your existence will make Alma lose face... Get rid of us, and Alma will owe him a big favor!"

The lord is spreading conspiracy theories following Milgan's mentality. This targeted method is very effective for those who are already worried about the corresponding affairs.

"... No wonder Igor didn't look for a killer, but he found me... But those are princes and dukes, I can't deal with them..."

Milgan's mentality has basically turned into a victim, and his words have already revealed his hostility towards Alanric and Alma...

Li Ang suddenly put away his smile, and his expression became very serious: "That's not necessarily true, as long as you have enough courage...Mirgan, I don't think it's interesting for you and Nelda to sneak around. In my opinion, you might as well think about it." Get rid of Alma secretly, and help Nelda to be the Duke... Judging from her feelings for you, you can gain great power because of this, and then no one will be able to count you!"

The first step was to make Milgan hostile to Alanric and Alma, which has been successful.So Li Ang turned his head and started a new guide following Milgan's thinking.

Milgan was stunned for a moment.

After being stunned for a long time, he sighed: "It must be a noble lord like you who is cruel..."

The lord shook his head and looked at Milgan very seriously: "This is for self-protection, Milgan. You should know that the matter between you and Nelda may have been discovered. If you don't act, you will be arrested sooner or later." Duke Alma kills..."

Milgan frowned: "Why do you say that? Duke Alma may want me to die, but he should never mention it...but other people may use this to harm me."

"No, for the sake of the Lion Lake City Banner Guard, Alma will definitely kill you! Milgan, the flag officer Grand Long will know about this sooner or later, maybe he already knows it now... As a husband, he will definitely have a relationship with you. It’s human nature to be at odds with each other.”

Li Ang turned on the conspirator mode again with a serious attitude.

"Grandlon...maybe, but it's just between me and him."

Milgan obviously began to follow the rhythm of the lord.

"This is not just about the two of you... What will Alma think in this situation? You know, his daughter has betrayed Grandlon. If the Duke turns a blind eye or helps his daughter cover up, then Grandlon will I can only betray the Duke—otherwise, how can Grandlon have the face to live?"

Li Ang shook his head and spread his hands: "So, the Duke of Alma has only one way to guarantee the loyalty of this elite army - to help Grandlon kill you."

Milgan frowned deeply.

"Think about it for yourself... While Nelda is still here, you can become Nelda's guardian knight, and take the opportunity to escort her back to Lion Lake City to secretly kill Duke Alma! Now Fawcett is exiled , Alma's other sons are all underage, and Nilda will definitely be able to take care of the dukedom as the eldest sister - in this case, Nilda can only divorce and inherit the territory of Lion Lake City! And you... can become her new Husband! You are also a nobleman, so I don’t need to tell you what to do next..."

Li Ang's voice was like a demon, and Milgan's face was uncertain at this time, it seemed that he had listened.

Indeed, for Milgan, if Alma dies at this time, he can use Ms. Nelda to get huge benefits...

If Alma died now, Fawcett was exiled, and the other sons were minors, the duchy could only be custodianed by Nelda, or even directly inherited by Nelda.

If Milgan is ruthless enough, he might even take this opportunity to become Grand Duke!

For example... kill all of Alma's underage sons.

Even if he didn't do this, he might still use Ms. Nilda to obtain a very high status and a territory not inferior to any great lord.

"I... Your Excellency Leon, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to kill Duke Alma..."

Milgan was obviously moved, and his voice even trembled a little.

He will take over the business of killing for a pioneer baron certificate that he promised empty-handedly, so he will naturally have thoughts about power and territory.Now that Li Ang pointed him to a very feasible path, how could he not be tempted?

"But Duke Alma is destined to deal with you... It's not a question of whether you want to, you have to save your own life..."

Li Ang stared deeply into Milgan's eyes, and gave him the last word to make up his mind.

This playboy has fallen into a conspiracy theory deliberately created by the lord.

In fact, this matter would not have been so troublesome—even if the adultery between Nilda and him was discovered, there is a high probability that it would end with Nilda and Grandlon getting divorced. something will happen...

But Li Ang deliberately led Milgan to think about the conspiracy. Once the thinking fell into it, he would feel that everything Li Ang deduced was very likely to happen.

And Li Ang gave him a reason to convince himself - to protect himself...

Milgan was indeed moved. He looked at Nelda frequently, his eyes filled with ambition.

Of course, Li Ang regarded Milgan as an enemy from the beginning to the end, but the enemy does not necessarily have to be eliminated, but can also be used.

Anyway, Aranric and Duke Alma are both enemies.

But it is not feasible to directly deal with the prince, so Milgan is induced to be hostile to the prince and deal with Alma first.

There is no need for Mirgan to be successful, it is only necessary for the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group to deal with Alma in a hostile manner...

The Griffin Sword Mercenary Group was recruited by King Ulrik, and was hired by Igor. Igor is Alanric's uncle. These things are public information, and most people will definitely know .

Alan Rick sent the Griffin Sword to hunt down Leon, but the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group went to assassinate Duke Alma—whether it was successful or not, what would Alan Rick think?

What will he do?
And what would the King and Duke Alma think?

Let the enemy deal with the enemy, regardless of success or failure, is the best policy.

"Mirgan, I'll give you a gift, maybe it can help you deal with the Duke..."

Li Ang took out a small bottle from his arms: "Have you ever heard of the Snake Heart Stone..."

"I know what this is...I see, thank you for your help, Your Excellency Li Ang, maybe I should give you something in return."
