Riding and Slashing

Chapter 183 Good brother, take a gamble

Ramon nodded and looked at the Noldor prisoners seriously, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Good job. But, are you really planning to retire?"

"Of course, I also want to be like you, enjoying life with the girls in the auction house every day... I really didn't expect you to leave Singal——if you stay in Singal, no one will dare to deal with you, but you It actually came out? This is really ecstatic!"

Fruz shook his head and smiled exaggeratedly, while laughing, he drew out his sword - Ramon had no guards around him now.

"Ramon, I've wanted your auction house for a long time. These beauties can get at least 30 dinars at auction? I also want to try to become the real adult of Singal... By the way, can you tell Me, where is your money hidden? Lord Ramon? Hahaha..."

Fruz laughed out loud as he spoke, because his sword had reached Ramon's neck like lightning.

Then he turned his head and motioned for a rider behind him to tie up Ramon.

"You really want to kill me, Feruz...you are such a brazen good brother...you say you will never get involved in trafficking, but you want everything in your heart..."

Ramon pouted, with a weird smile on his face.

"As expected of Ramon, I can still laugh at this time... Er!"

Feruz's proud smile suddenly froze on his face as if it had been cut off, and he turned his head and tried to look behind him.

Because the Singal rider behind him didn't walk to Ramon's side, but suddenly drew his sword behind Feruz!

This is a standard back piercing.

The Noldor sword pierced into the back of Feruz's heart, and the sharp point of the sword pierced through his chest, and then was drawn out again.

Blood spilled all over the place.

Fruz turned his head, his eyes were stern, and the long sword in his hand moved, as if intending to cut Ramon's neck and die together.

But his wrist was grabbed by Ramon, and then the sword was easily handed over and fell into Ramon's hands.

Ramon seemed to know martial arts, and his skills should be pretty good, but he probably never showed it.

"……why why……"

Fruz turned his head and asked the Singal rider whose blade was still dripping blood: "Why?"

"Fruzi, he is one of the villagers you kidnapped in Yaxing a few years ago... He was once a slave you sold to me, and you never recognized him... You are really his good brother ..."

The smile on Ramon's face disappeared: "Fruz, you are always taking civilians as slaves. As a result, there are fewer and fewer villagers in the villages around Singal, and food is getting more and more expensive! You always kill innocent travelers, and as a result There are fewer and fewer customers coming to Singal! You are always deceiving those nobles, and now there are more and more lords who are hostile to us-your behavior will sooner or later make Singal nowhere to go! Since you plan to retire, then Retire completely!"

"...No...Then...Isn't it because you want to sell slaves...I arrested slaves?"

Feruz had lost his strength, he fell off his horse and lay down on the ground, the voice from the pool of blood was painful and low.

"Yeah, I'm doing this kind of shameful business, but I know that there will be retribution, and I don't think innocent villagers are slaves... and you have already planned to kill me, right? You bought my brother , planted spies to monitor my whereabouts, and colluded with Khalifa Tahir to deal with me, I know all of this... You want to replace me? But do you think my brother will be bought so easily by you?"

Feruz's eyes widened, and his expression became terrified and helpless.

He still wanted to say something, but he could only make a 'sizzling' sound from his throat.

"The most important thing is that you never intended to be my good brother...I really regarded you as a brother before."

Ramon looked down into his eyes and said the last word.

Finally, Feruz stopped moving, and stared straight at the sky.

He died, when he was at his best.

Fruz's other subordinates all watched in panic, but they did not avenge their leader. In fact, they did not move at all, because they were surrounded by more than 300 men in black.

"Master Ramon..."

The Singal rider who stabbed Fruz to death dropped his sword and knelt on the ground: "My brother, thank you for allowing me to take revenge with my own hands, but I beg you, please give these brothers a chance!"

He pointed to the rest of Fruz's men, the Singal riders.

"Of course, as long as they don't attack me, they are still good brothers. Of course I will give them a chance-every good brother will definitely get a fair chance."

Ramon took out three rather delicate dice, and said to the Singal riders beside the carriage: "Come on, brothers, come and bet with me... If you win, you can freely decide your own Fate. But if you lose, you have to accept the fate I arranged for you..."

The 22 Singal riders looked at each other and slowly walked up to Ramon one by one.

Ramon's gamble seemed fair and simple. It was a pure bet, and let the 22 people bet against him one by one.

After a few minutes, the final result looked fair too—eleven people won, and the other eleven lost...

As for the riders who lost, the fate Ramon gave them seemed very fair-he let the eleven riders who won decide their fate.

Thus, the eleven lost riders died at the hands of their colleagues.

Because the riders who won actually had no choice—killed their colleagues and handed in the vote certificate, and then joined Ramon's men and became Ramon's good brothers. This is the most sensible thing to do.

Perhaps this is the scary thing about Ramon. He didn't leave enemies for himself, and he didn't make anyone feel that he was cruel and ruthless. Everyone would even think that he did give the other party a chance.

Whether it is his brother or his enemy, they will feel that he is fair and trustworthy, and he is a good brother worth following.

However, just as Ramon was about to return to Singal with his carriage, a cavalry appeared from the other side of the ridge.

Feruz was delayed for a while at the bridge next to the Seven Fortress, and Ramon was delayed for a while because of the gambling. The continuous delays made the lord finally arrive here before the girl rangers were brought to the west of the Turda Fortress.

Turda Fortress is the border of the Desha Principality and the most important military base in the east of the Dexia Principality. It is only a few dozen miles away from this mountain range. Between the mountains and the desert, it guards the passage leading to the Desha territory. Difficult Throat Fortress—Because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Duchy of Desha declared its independence after General Osa gave the Turda Fortress and Singal to the Duke of Desha.

It is very difficult to avoid the fortress and enter the territory of the Principality of D'Shar with troops. It is good luck to catch up with the convoy here.

But the problem is that the dozens of enemies originally expected by the lord have now turned into hundreds!
"Fortunately, we caught up...but why are there so many people!"

The lord's expression was rather bad - since he had been chasing at full speed with one man and two horses, it was impossible to arrange any scouts in front, and there was a ridge blocking his view, he didn't know that there were so many enemies here before!

However, after they came out from the side of the ridge, they were less than 200 meters away from the enemy. There was no time to deploy any tactics at this distance...

"Master Li Ang, do you want to rush over directly?"

Wenda Tier also showed a trace of nervousness. Although she is highly skilled in martial arts, she certainly felt a little guilty when she saw the hundreds of people in the opposite direction...

"Raise the flag! Slow down!"

Li Ang shook his head, and decided not to act recklessly - there were at least 300 people on the opposite side, all of whom were riding horses.

Fifty against more than 300, it is still this kind of unprepared encounter, even if Wenda Dier can defeat one hundred, the best result can only be a loss for both sides.

"Who is on the other side!"

The people in black under Ramon's subordinates also quickly gathered together, and a small leader began to shout loudly.

The banner of the golden griffin on a black background was shot out by the cavalry.

This was the response of Li Ang's troops to this question, but the response given by Ramon's men was - several crossbow bolts flew over and stuck in the open space in front of the cavalry.

Obviously, Ramon didn't recognize the flag.

The distance between the two sides is still relatively far, and Ramon's troops obviously did not shoot their crossbows at anyone, it was just for warning.

Warn Li Ang's cavalry to stay away from approaching, this is a very common way of greeting when two troops belonging to different camps encounter each other.

This kind of greeting usually means-I don't want to attack you, but if you want to make trouble, I will not be polite.

That being the case, Li Ang decided to give a deterrent response to prevent those carriages from being taken away.

"Can you shoot the one in the middle of them? The one in the black aristocratic robe, without any weapons..."

The lord asked the two Noldor elves beside him in a low voice.

"Of course... Do you think that is their leader? But it doesn't look like it..."

Vendatil took off his bow and replied.

Lisa Dilan also nodded, saying that it should be fine.

Ramon's attire did not look like the leader of the group, because he was also wearing a black robe, and he looked no different from other men in black from a distance.

In fact, Ramon didn't even wear any armor, so he didn't look very impressive on the field.

However, he was the only person on the field who did not hold a weapon, and those men in black consciously protected him in the middle, and he was the only one who kept talking, as if he was giving orders—the lord's observation and judgment are still very good. not bad.

"No, you can't shoot people... If you shoot him dead, most of the Noldor girls in the carriage will die... Shoot his horse, and the horses of the two people next to him. Can you make sure that every arrow is shot? The head of the middle horse?"

Across 150 meters, it was obviously impossible for Li Ang to accurately hit the horse's head. Li Sadilan also shook his head, saying that he could not guarantee an absolute hit.

Only Vendatil squinted his eyes and drew his bow: "I understand your intention... I will try my best to make every arrow hit the horse's forehead!"

Ramon was a little confused now. He didn't recognize the golden griffin flag that the cavalry on the opposite side played, but the troops that he could meet here should be the troops of the Bacchus Empire.

But the problem is, in Ramon's impression, Bacchus doesn't have this kind of Lancer...

The troops on the opposite side looked more like elite cavalry from Sarleon.

The small valley that Ramon was in now had a ridge on one side, and Li Ang's cavalry appeared from the other side of the ridge just now.

And the other side of the valley is basically flat land—this is the environment where Lancers have the strongest combat effectiveness. Ramon has been engaged in prisoner-of-war transactions and soldiers ransom brokers for a long time, and Ramon has a deep understanding of various arms.

If fifty elite cavalrymen charge up, the damage they can cause is very strong.Although there are many people on his side, anything can happen on the battlefield, and Ramon doesn't want to make extra troubles at this time, so as not to increase the loss unnecessarily.

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Fortunately, the cavalry stopped and did not seem to want a conflict.

But just when Ramon thought he could retreat without incident, a silver arrow slanted down from the sky and stuck in his horse's head, turning his horse into a unicorn!
The horse died almost instantly—it didn't even grunt, it fell down without any reaction.

Ramon was taken by surprise and fell to the ground.

And the subordinates around him quickly surrounded him, using their bodies as shields, to block in front of Ramon.

At this time, another arrow was inserted into the head of the horse standing in front of Ramon, and another unicorn was created.

"Don't move! Back off!"

Ramon climbed up with difficulty and shouted loudly. He had already seen the appearance of the two horses when they fell to the ground, and he had already realized that the other party was deliberately shooting the horses.

The other party was telling him that his life could be taken away at any time!

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the third horse turned into a unicorn and fell to the ground, still beside him.

"Stand back, put away your weapons!"

Ramon stood among the three dead horses, looking at the three arrows stuck in the middle of the horses' foreheads, cold sweat soaked his back in just a few seconds.

The enemy's array is still 150 meters away, completely untouched.

He had never seen such a terrible shooting technique!

Moreover, this is the Noldor Arrow!

Ramon already understood why this cavalry came, but he didn't understand why the Noldor arrows came from human troops!
He took the reins of the horse from one of his men, got on the horse and approached Li Ang's cavalry a few steps, and waved his hands vigorously.

Li Ang also let out a long breath. Fortunately, the other party is not an idiot, and it is also fortunate that he brought Wenda Dier!

"Don't move, I'll go talk to him..."

The lord made almost the same movement as Ramon. He raised his hands and waved a few times, then slowly approached him.

Thus, the two moved closer to each other and met between the two armies.

"I'm Li Ang. What's your name?"

"My name is Ramon... Leon? I seem to have heard of this name... You are that casino tycoon!"

"Ramon... Good brother, you are the real tycoon!"

"Huh? You've heard of me too? Hahaha..."

The two profiteers laughed as soon as they met.

The casino operated by Ramon just borrowed the gameplay of the casino under Maixiang International this year, and Li Ang has heard of Ramon's name from his previous life...

It's probably a long time ago.

"Your Excellency Li Ang came here for those elf girls?"

Ramon got the point right.

"Yes, good brother, I won't hide it from you, those girls are the family members of my allies, I must bring them back..."

Li Ang told the truth, he knew that Ramon would not lie to him.

He is a big businessman, and so is Ramon. The communication between big businessmen does not need lies, nor can there be lies.

"Good brother...you can call me that, then you are a good brother! Those girls are indeed rewarded by me, but it is not that I want to catch them, but Baron Alderfred of the Sarleon Kingdom. I just a broker."

Ramon didn't seem to intend to fool anyone either.

"Since this is the case, does that mean you didn't pay the cost?"

Li Ang smiled, since Ramon didn't have much to lose, then this matter is much easier to handle.

"No, I paid the cost. I lost a bottle of expensive medicine worth three thousand dinars, and I also lost the friendship of Baron Alfred... At the same time, if you want me to give up these elf girls, then I will lose at least 30 dinars in profit!"

Ramon began to settle accounts.

"My dear brother, about your cost... you got my friendship now - I think it must be more valuable than Alder Fred, so you not only have nothing to lose, but also a big profit. As for those Profit...Ramon, you should be very clear that you can't take those elf girls away. What we should consider now is how to maintain our friendship, so as to avoid irreparable losses for the cost you paid. "

The lord also began to settle accounts.

"You're right...but that's 30 dinars—and I can use those noble and beautiful girls to organize another super auction that will hit the whole continent, which will bring my career to its peak! Li Ang, good brother, you must understand what this means to me... why don't you give up these nuduo girls, I can bring you more benefits! For example... the army!"

Ramon seemed somewhat unwilling, and started reverse marketing.

"Ramon, I've heard about your deeds back then. The entrance fee alone costs [-] dinars, right? And paying [-] dinars in advance can only get you the priority of bidding—that is indeed a unique one. But, dear brother, it would be a loss if you just repeat this kind of slave auction again without any new changes. Because what you once achieved is no longer unique... Besides, I As I said just now, those are the family members of my allies. Family members, do you understand? I must take them away."

The lord can understand Ramon's mentality, but it is impossible for him to give in.

"Family... Well, it seems that we can't reach an agreement, so we'd better decide in a fair way... Brother, do you want to gamble with me?"

Ramon also sighed, thought for a while, and took out his dice from his arms again.

"Okay! Then take a gamble!"

The lord raised his eyebrows, and agreed without hesitation.
