Mount and Blade Central Asia

During the entire preaching process, Li Rufeng spent almost half of the time teaching these refugees how to maintain order, and by the way, he was spreading the word that behind Dost's atrocities, there was the secret support of the Black Sheep People, and that the Black Sheep People were an evil country that had surrendered to the Four Wind Evil Gods.

The purpose of Li Rufeng's move was of course for population. He first used the Four Wind Evil Gods to mentally intimidate these civilians, and then used the upcoming Black Sheep People as a real threat, in order to induce these civilians to migrate with him as much as possible.

The motive was despicable, but considering Haishar's suspicion of the Black Sheep People and the deal between Dost and those dark wizards, Li Rufeng was just making an assumption based on established facts.

No matter how many words are spoken, they cannot replace the facts, so Li Rufeng quickly entered the "public trial" mode. One by one, the captured Persian soldiers came on stage and told what they saw and heard in the barracks. Many people only knew a small part of the content, but when everyone contributed the part they knew, the full picture of the matter was presented to everyone.

Especially the refugees rescued by Li Rufeng in the monastery, they used their personal experiences to denounce the cruelty and injustice of Dosite.

Because those in power stood on the side of the Persians, the refugees sent in as sacrifices were basically foreigners, mostly Armenians and Kurds. This aroused the resentment of the surrendered Armenian heavy infantry, so these Armenians also expressed their willingness to come to the stage and expose the injustices they encountered during their service.

So, two days later, in addition to the accusation against Dosite, Li Rufeng selected more than 30 officers and soldiers who had committed serious crimes based on the accusations of civilians and captured soldiers, and prepared to execute them in the square together with Dosite.

The only demand that Qinggelinayan and other Mongols made of Doshite was to execute him. As for how Li Rufeng planned to kill him, these Mongols did not care. Anyway, they had already got everything they wanted through war.

For many Mughals, this expedition was perfect. Not many people died, but they also made a lot of money. The only thing that was a bit of a headache was that Shaman Rufeng was becoming more and more powerful.

At the meeting last night, Li Rufeng asked them to hand over all the women they had snatched back and send them to a temporary "hospital" for treatment, which caused dissatisfaction among many Mongol leaders.

But Li Rufeng's timing was too clever. Most of the soldiers had already lost interest in looting and committing more crimes. They just wanted to take their spoils home. The leaders had already enjoyed their days, so there was nothing to lose by handing over the women.

Or perhaps the only loss was dignity, which they had become accustomed to.

Chapter 159: Accident on the Execution Ground

In the eyes of ordinary soldiers and the surviving civilians in Mardin, the release of the abducted women was evidence that the Mongol leaders had once again bowed to Li Rufeng.

In addition to gaining fame, Li Rufeng also recruited a total of 162 helpless but still sexually attractive women.

This is not because Master Li is planning to do something by opening an lsp business, but because women in this era have a relatively low status. Compared with men, they are easier to control and more obedient. As a man with the Mount and Blade system, he can't always stitch up people's external wounds by himself.

He planned to teach some basic medical knowledge to the grateful women who were willing to stay and set up a professional medical team.

In the current era, if we don’t consider institutions like the Imperial Medical Bureau in his hometown next door, Li Rufeng is confident that he can make this team the best medical team in the world within two to three years.

After all, didn’t you see that more than two hundred years later, King Louis XIV of France on the European continent was first bled out and then given an enema after he fell ill. After the enema, he was induced to vomit. After vomiting, he was bled out again, given an enema, and induced to vomit again... In other words, he had been in good health since childhood, but he was tortured for several days before he died.

Among the 162 women who were forcibly taken back by Li Rufeng, some of them still had their families who survived and returned to their families, while others were filled with fear of all the Mongol people and refused to stay.

He would rather leave in the "hospital" even if it means dragging his crippled body.

For these people, whether they were taken away by their families or wanted to leave on their own, Li Rufeng gave them some food. A good reputation is not accumulated in a day, but over time.

Among the remaining women, one hundred and four women finally chose to stay. These women, who were naturally in a disadvantaged position, hoped to gain shelter and support because of the kindness shown by Li Rufeng. They chose a leader themselves and expressed their demands to Li Rufeng.

The leader was Isabella Darhe, an Armenian woman whose appearance and facial features inherited the three-dimensionality of the Caucasian race, with deep eyes, tall stature, and fair skin. Before being abducted by the Mughals, she was the lover of a local wealthy businessman.

This time, when Doshite was escorted to the square by Haishar himself to be executed, Li Rufeng also brought Isabella Darhe with her. Someone had to be held responsible for the misfortune suffered by these women. They were unable to take revenge on the Mongols, but they could continue to trace the cause and put the blame on Doshite, who was the first to provoke the war.

Regardless of whether they can understand it or not, Li Rufeng feels that perhaps such an explanation can release the hatred in the hearts of some people.

1408, April 10, 9:00 a.m.

A group of war criminals led by Duosite were escorted by the Mongols to the square where Li Rufeng had preached before. The preaching platform here had been dismantled and replaced by a beheading platform used to fix the bodies of prisoners. Several prisoners collapsed the moment they saw this thing, crying and urinating and defecating.

The Mughals who were in charge of maintaining order at the scene and carrying out the executions were amused by this ugly scene. They hurriedly dragged these war criminals onto the execution platform. They had never seen such a scene before, and this time it was an eye-opener.

There were eight people in the first group who were beheaded on the platform. They were undoubtedly the luckiest because they did not experience more fear before their death. When their heads fell to the ground, the victims who had been oppressed in the crowd shouted loudly, making the crowd gradually active from the silent state.

Watching the fun is human nature and it is unavoidable no matter where you are.

Then came the second batch of war criminals. These people witnessed the death of the former and struggled and resisted hard, but under the suppression of the Mughals, they could only groan as their heads were chopped off.

Then the third and fourth batches were finished. The last few prisoners who were dragged up to be beheaded were like they had no bones. They could not be lifted up in pieces. It took three or four soldiers to carry them forward. Their bodies were covered with feces and urine. Many Mongols who did not vomit during the battle vomited now.

The last person to be executed was undoubtedly Doste. He had been blindfolded and could only hear but not see. Haishar was like a robot, clamping down on this cultist who secretly believed in the God of the Four Winds.

In front of these believers of the Four Wind Gods, Brother Mengjiang was a completely different person. He was cruel and cold-blooded, completely focused on his goals, and was not moved by external things at all.

Even the executions had to be carried out by Haishar himself, as if the matter was not over until the moment Dost's head fell to the ground. He had also carefully examined the bodies of the dark wizards killed by Li Rufeng and his men in the monastery before allowing them to be burned.

This was the first time Li Rufeng saw this side of Haishar, and it also made him decide to kill Azadirim, the burden, after things here were over.

When Dost was taken to the execution platform, the dark crowd around him fell silent for a moment. As the ruler of the city of Martin, Dost had ruled this land for five years. Whether he was cruel or kind, the concept that he represented authority had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

And now, when the previous authority was sent to the execution platform by Shaman Rufeng, the pile of heads below, some terrified and some angry, witnessed the rise of a new authority.

Dosit, who was about to die, behaved much better than other mortals. He calmly scanned the heads on the ground. He could name most of these heads. He then looked at the crowd who were watching the excitement. Everyone dodged, not because of fear, but because Li Rufeng had clearly explained the collusion between Dosit and the Four Wind Evil Gods when he was preaching before. People were afraid that looking directly into Dosit's eyes would have their souls taken away.

Dosite seemed very satisfied with the crowd's reaction. He turned his head hard to look at Li Rufeng next to him, as if he wanted to remember the other person completely, but Li Rufeng just waved his hand, allowing Haishar to take action.

However, at this moment, there was a movement outside the crowd. Screams and cries of fear made everyone look towards the southeast.

There, a slender crimson figure was approaching rapidly like a skinned wolf. It was on all fours, two or three meters long, but had no tail. It used its claws and teeth to bite the people around it. The head of an adult man was crushed in its mouth like a tomato, showing an amazing bite force.

"Dosite!" The monster roared in human language, immediately shocking everyone.

Take a day off

I'm driving back to my hometown to celebrate the festival at night. I have a day off. Tomorrow will be normal.

Chapter 160: Robbery at the execution ground?

When Li Rufeng saw that creature that was neither human nor wolf, his first reaction was to look at Brother Mengjiang. His eyes were full of...

I was encouraged by the thought that you were alive again, and had some genuine doubts. I came to this world and lived a peaceful life with the old shaman for a long time. How come this world started to go down a strange path as soon as I met you?

Haishar stepped forward without hesitation and stood in front of Li Rufeng. His apprentice and Lord Mishalan's woman were still staying in the camp outside the city, so he could only fight alone.

However, as a knight of the Eagle of Order, Haishar has been fighting against these strange creatures all his life, and humans' fear of alien species has long been overcome.

"Scatter!" Li Rufeng had seen Brother Mengjiang unleashing his invincible power too many times and had unlimited trust in him. He knew that if something could kill Brother Mengjiang in an instant, even if he ran, it would be a waste of effort. He stood there calmly and pretended to be cool, "Warriors of Changshengtian, maintain order! Let the civilians leave in an orderly manner! This shaman will stand right here. If that evil beast wants to hurt others, it will hurt me first!"

There is no need to say much about Li Rufeng's personal guards, but those Mongols who had nothing to do every day and came to listen to the lectures really listened to Li Rufeng's words. Li Rufeng used his great deception skills to fool them.

Yesterday, Li Rufeng had just expressed that the Mongols were protected by the Eternal Heaven and loved by Tengri, and were naturally strong and brave. They should have been the brothers of all the people in the world, and the brothers should have protected their younger brothers and sisters from harm by outsiders. It was only because of the instigation of the Four Evil Gods that brothers turned against each other and sisters killed each other.

The Mongols, who had already plundered a lot of wealth, were very fond of this. Although they did not think of those foreigners as their brothers and sisters, they were willing to be worshipped as strong people.

So these held-up Mongols obeyed Li Rufeng's order to sort out the civilians, and spontaneously organized themselves, assigning people to confront the strange beast with swords, driving the beast towards Haishar.

After all, the Mughals are a nation with a military tradition. They are constantly conscripted by the old Sultan. The men in the tribe spend more time in the military camp than at home. Compared with civilians, they naturally understand the importance of order and calmness.

Haishar pulled off the robe used to hide his body and threw it aside, revealing his strong body in armor underneath. He held a huge longbow in his hand, and in a blink of an eye, a long arrow was placed on the bowstring. With a hum, the long arrow shot towards the monster twenty meters away at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye!

At such a close distance, the monster had no time to dodge, but the arrow penetrated only as deep as a fist and did not cause fatal injuries.

Li Rufeng frowned. He had seen the scene where Haishar shot through an armored soldier at a distance of thirty meters. It was obvious that the monster's skin defense was far superior to that of chain mail, and the muscles wrapped in it were also extremely tough.

"Duo Si Te!" The monster cried out Duo Si Te's name again in pain and stood up. "Die!"

Blood and flesh, but the monster obviously didn't care. He wiped the wound randomly, and the wound actually began to heal!

Looking at the monster that was still moving forward stubbornly despite being surrounded by soldiers and had already approached within fifteen meters, Haishar decisively shot another arrow!

But this arrow was actually shot by the monster who was concentrating on staring at Haishar and pressed his hands together in front of his forehead!

The force of the arrow was so great that even though Ainz-Salem held down the arrow, his forehead was still pierced as deep as a finger's length. He felt as if he had been hit in the face by a hammer, and he staggered back a few steps. But in the end, he still did not fall down. He simply pulled out the arrow and threw it on the ground.

However, Haishar had already drawn his bow and shot the arrow again, and the third arrow followed closely!

Ainz-Salem did not dare to be arrogant this time. He quickly jumped to the side and avoided the arrow by a hair's breadth. Then he rushed straight towards Haishar. The distance of more than ten meters passed in a flash. He swung his hands hard, and his sharp nails formed a dagger shape, threatening Haishar!

But Brother Mengjiang was not just a name. He threw the bow to the ground and swung a large, thick-backed saber that was not a standard one at that time at the monster's face, intending to trade injury for death!

As a qualified warrior, Ainz Salem possessed above-par martial strength. During the sacrificial ceremony, he constantly fought desperately with his familiar companions, honing himself through life and death, making his martial arts more exquisite. Now, after receiving some blessings from the Scarlet Wind, he has become even stronger.

In Li Rufeng's eyes, Salem made a drift-like turn while moving at high speed. The friction between his feet and the ground forced him to avoid Haishar's blade. He appeared on Haishar's left side by inertia, swung his claws, and collided with the opponent's armor, leaving three deep wounds that could be seen to the bone!

Fortunately, Haishar took a small step to the right and without having time to swing the saber in his hand, he directly hit the monster's eyes with the handle, unwilling to suffer any loss.

In pain, Salem used brute force to hug Haishar and pushed him to the ground.

But Dost was still shouting anxiously: "Kill me! Kill me and it will all be over! Hurry up!"

The moment she saw her captain of the guards, Dost suddenly realized that the sacrificial ceremony dedicated to the Scarlet Wind had not ended at all. Ainz Salem was still alive. Although he was neither human nor ghost, he was indeed still alive.

Since Ainz Salem is still alive, the sacrificial ceremony will continue. He is here to find Dost.

The reason why Dost voluntarily sought death was because as the host of this ceremony, he knew that if he was killed by Ainz-Salem, it would be equivalent to him being sacrificed to the Scarlet Wind by Ainz-Salem, and the ceremony would be completed, but the final beneficiary would change from him to Ainz-Salem.

He could accept his own death, but he could not accept the ending of becoming a sacrifice and his soul belonging to the Scarlet Wind.

"Kill me quickly! Li Rufeng! Don't hesitate. If that monster kills me, he will become a killer that you can't deal with!" Doste looked at Ainz Salem who had pressed Haishar to the ground, her tone so anxious that she even lost her voice.

In the strange peace, the Mughals stopped looting, and the residents of Mardin stopped resisting, tacitly accepting that the war disasters they suffered were caused by Dost.

The Mongol leaders were counting their gains, while Qinggelinayan was quietly recuperating. As for Li Rufeng, he was secretly meeting with Parisa. After all, it was not right for him to always hold the dangerous magic sword.

...

"So the Mamluks captured your fortress in Mecca and killed your people?" Li Rufeng was very surprised when he first met Parisa, and he was even more surprised when he learned that the fortress of the Eagle of Order had fallen.

That feeling was probably disappointment mixed with a hint of contempt... After all, in the eyes of the Li Mengwuer people, what were the Mamluks? They were what was left over after they defeated them, and they didn't dare to cross the border for five whole years.

The majesty displayed by this kind of fighting also gave Li Rufeng a general impression of the Mamluks. So when Haishar said that their fortress had been breached by the Mamluks, the mysterious aura of the Eagle of Order in Li Rufeng's mind was greatly diluted.

Haishaer knew Li Rufeng's background and knew that he was a layman when it came to fighting, so he didn't want to bother with him. But this time, Parisa was like an enemy meeting and was extremely jealous of him.

"What do you know? When the Mongols' iron hooves trampled here, the Mamluks had already defeated the Mongols. Later, when my grandfather defeated them, he took advantage of the fact that the other side's sultan's heir was still young and the powerful officials in the country were fighting among themselves. What military achievements have you made that you can speak so shamelessly here?" Parisa probably rehearsed in her dreams how she would confront Li Rufeng when they met, so she called him general this time.

However, Li Rufeng, a seasoned man who had been exposed to the internet and whose main profession was the eloquent Shaman, twisted his lips and asked, "I remember you didn't leave voluntarily. Why are you speaking for them now?"

"You!" Parisa was immediately choked to death and couldn't say a word.

However, the apprentice Naji Mori who was watching the fun nearby was laughing the whole time. He was mainly responsible for the safety of the Khanate princess along the way. Haishar naturally went through wind and rain and didn't care about anything. The princess basically took out all her bad temper on him.

"You may need to hold that sword for a while longer. No one knows if anything unexpected will happen if it comes into contact with Milansha's blood for a long time. But you are different." Haishaer looked at Li Rufeng and said, "You are not affected by them at all. I feel at ease only when the sword is in your hands."

"Well, I've always been willing to serve an organization like the Eagle of Order that works for the benefit of all mankind." Li Rufeng said with a smile, "But..."

"I have brought back enough hybrid horses, and the knights and apprentices who have taken refuge in your tribe are also happy to help you train soldiers in our way during this time." Haishar did not bargain, but directly took out all his chips.

Based on his understanding of Li Rufeng, Haishaer knew that he could not gain favor with words, but Li Rufeng was a very genuine person. He valued interests, but valued friendship more. He even had a broader sense of responsibility that Haishaer could not understand for the time being.

In Haishar's eyes, Li Rufeng was not a king, but he had been doing what a king should do. He saw a lot of this in Li Rufeng's tribe.

Li Rufeng encouraged childbirth and successfully reduced the reproductive mortality rate to an unimaginable level. He also tried his best to improve agriculture and animal husbandry and consciously carried out benign hybridization.

Haishaer felt that Li Rufeng might have done a lot of things, but he just couldn't understand them.

Looking at Haishaer's frank face, Li Rufeng reached out and shook his hand. "Deal, my friend. Your sword is my sword. I will keep it for as long as you need me to."

Parisa rolled her eyes, but the quarrel with Li Rufeng was just a way to spice up her life. She had something more to worry about. Her father was raising an army to attack Tabriz. Based on her understanding of her father, if he captured the city, he would definitely let his troops slaughter and raze the city to the ground again.

In the past, the great Timur could intimidate his cruel son with his majesty, but now his grandfather is gone, and his father obviously wants to find his magic sword. Then he will have to continue his life in exile.

She didn't know what would happen once her father took possession of the sword, but what happened to the Blessed One today was a clear reminder that no one could owe the Scarlet Wind a debt without paying it back. Parisa hadn't forgotten that the last time she entered the Closed Circle, that terrifying knight had come to collect the debt...

The thought of being found by her father or the Scarlet Knight made Parisa shudder subconsciously and become less...lively.

Li Rufeng noticed Parisa's change and signaled to Haishar. The two of them left the room and spoke frankly in another, safer room, where there were no eavesdroppers. "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the power of the Four Wind Gods is appearing more and more frequently, and it's becoming easier and easier. Has the Eagle of Order come to a similar conclusion?"

This was Li Rufeng's biggest doubt. In the old shaman's narration, the influence of the Four Wind Gods was just an Easter egg in the story. But now, what he experienced, the influence of the Four Wind Gods seemed to have become

It's like it's everywhere.

Chapter 162: Fulfillment of Contract

1408, April 4.

The city of Mardin has completely calmed down. The Mughals are withdrawing from the city in an orderly manner. They have no intention of occupying this mountain city. It is too small and located on the top of a mountain, which combines almost all the characteristics that the Mughals dislike.

In this battle, the Mughals suffered very little loss. Even if the losses incurred during the subsequent campaign to wipe out the remaining troops were included, the total number was less than a hundred. Most of these losses were caused by people accidentally falling off their horses when entering the city at night.

Most of those who actually died in the battle were from Transoxiana. When they were trying to capture the city gate tower, they fought the fiercest battle of the entire battle with the Persians and Armenians.

But the leader of the people of Transoxiana, Karim Ansarifard, still felt that he had made a great profit. Not only did he successfully escape from this war that was doomed to fail with his people, but he also participated in the looting as a victor.

After all, they had been stationed in the city for a while and were more familiar with the structure of Mardin, so it was easier for them to rob.

But Karim was a very good man. He only robbed for one day when the Mughals were busy cleaning up the mess. After making a small gain, he retreated to the vicinity of the Mardin Castle and did not go out again.

Although they surrendered and made great contributions, they had frequent conflicts with the Mughals over the years. Karim was afraid that some Mughal leader who ignored the overall situation would get angry and destroy him. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

As a reward for meritorious service, under the witness of Li Rufeng, Qinggelinayan promised that from today on, the Mongols and the people of Transoxiana living on the Mesopotamian Plain would no longer have any grudges against each other and would join hands to deal with the more complicated regional situation in the future.

The Khanate's control over its western border is visibly declining. The reason why the Mughals have not withdrawn directly to the grassland is that they are waiting for an outcome, the outcome of the war between Maharaja Milan Shah and the Black Sheep People.

Qinggelinayan even wanted to use the excuse that if Lord Milansha won, he would blame himself for not sending troops to attack the Black Sheep people from behind.
