"What's the reason they came here?" Aslan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't expect that guy Jimmy would have his mind set on him so quickly.
In his previous life, when Merlo Town was just starting to improve, he came to fight the autumn breeze. He especially liked to buy food from Merlo Town at low prices. At that time, Aslan's army had just been established and was unable to resist. Naturally, he could only grit his teeth and accept Baron Jimmy's offer.
Exploitation.
Unfortunately, this life is completely different. In addition to his knight guard, the size of the town guard has always been maintained at about three hundred people. Adding in nearly a hundred barbarian warriors, Aslan has more than five hundred combatable soldiers.
Not counting the Merlot Army in training.
Today's Mero Town is still no match for Jimmy Town, but with such a huge military power, before Jimmy Town wants to take advantage of Mero Town, it must carefully consider whether it is worthwhile.
"Interesting, let Willick prepare, and let's go meet the messenger." Aslan said casually after wiping his hands with a handkerchief.
Baron Jimmy is a typical bully and afraid of the strong. He is good at developing agriculture, but his military is a bit unsightly. Although the territory has an army of a thousand people, there are less than 300 soldiers that can actually be used for fighting, and the rest are poorly equipped.
Farmers, even daily training has not been completed.
Caron arrogantly entered the City Lord's Mansion, which was extremely simple in front of him. He originally wanted to ridicule the dilapidation of the City Lord's Mansion, but then he was shocked by the gorgeous and exquisite furniture in the City Lord's Mansion.
These pieces of furniture have simple shapes, straight carving lines, fine workmanship, and are polished and polished. Any piece of them is more exquisite and beautiful than the lord's main chair. Although there are no valuables such as half a precious stone inlaid, it does not reduce the charm of these pieces of furniture at all.
Luxurious.
This is a kind of intrinsic luxury, not luxury decorated with precious gems.
"I heard that the lord of Merlo Town came from Kyoto. It seems to be true. Apart from the nobles who came from Kyoto, where else could such precious furniture be used?"
Caron felt awe-struck, it seemed that the task this time was not easy.
Soon, he saw hundreds of soldiers approaching the city lord's palace in a menacing manner, which made his heart skip a beat.
Especially the leader, Le Anning, he had seen the barbarian warrior who was known as the strongest in the Mero region.
"Could it be that this lord has completely conquered the entire Leanning tribe?" Caron couldn't help but turn pale when he thought of this question.
If this is really the case, then the task assigned to him by Baron Jimmy is undoubtedly as close as sending him to death.
After the town guards surrounded the city lord's palace, Aslan belatedly arrived with the knight guards armed to the teeth.
Compared to the Town Guard, which has a large number of people, the Knight Guard can only be described as the elite among the elite. All of them are equipped with mid-level equipment that Aslan can touch, and they shine brightly in the sunlight.
Aslan walked into the hall slowly and methodically, and slowly sat on the main seat. The maid brought two cups of black tea. Aslan just said "please!" and went to drink tea and rest.
After staying at the training ground for a long time, I almost made my voice hoarse. I need to take a good rest. After the recruit training, I only need to show my presence. I will leave the training to the Knight Guards.
There was a strange silence in the hall. Aslan was drinking tea leisurely, while Caron was restless and glanced at the heavily armed knights around him. Finally, he could only grit his teeth and said: "Lord Sarah! I am representing Baron Jimmy.
Come visit you."
"Then what?" Aslan asked without raising his head.
Caron was immediately choked up and wanted to say that the routine shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't you ask me why I came here to visit?
"Our lord wants to purchase a batch of grain from your territory." Karon said with great frustration.
"Oh! That's it!" Aslan finished his cup of black tea and said with a smile on his face.
"I'm really sorry, I can't help your lord anymore, see you off!"
Caron didn't even react. The knights of the Knight Guard took his hands and carried him directly out of the city lord's palace.
It wasn't until he was thrown out of the door that Caron realized that this Lord Sara was crazy!
"You know what you are doing! Do you want to start a war?" Caron shouted angrily.
Lancelot suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it on Charon's neck.
"Start the war! We, the Merlot Army, will accompany you at any time! Go back and tell your lords that 20,000 people seems like a lot, and we can kill them all in ten days at most."
Kalon's body began to tremble. He just heard something! The other party was about to massacre the city.
Are all the lords from Kyoto crazy?
"Okay! Just wait for me." Cuaron did not forget his identity. He said a harsh word and ran away in embarrassment.
As he escaped, his men were released and all their armor and weapons were stripped off. They were even more robbers than robbers.
On the way, Caron asked many people in the Melo area and got some very terrifying information.
This Lord Sala was a complete tyrant. Within half a year of arriving in the Mero area, he slaughtered several villages and killed hundreds or even thousands of people.
Moreover, he was so proud of his achievements that he went on a military rampage. He only had a few thousand people under his command, but his army was almost over a thousand.
After Cuaron got the news, his body trembled even more violently. He didn't expect their neighbor to be so scary.
"The lord must be reported as soon as possible so that the territory can prepare early."
The news that Kalon got was indeed from the villagers in the Mero area, but it was a bit exaggerated. The massacre of the village never happened at all, but some villages came to join the small town of Mero.
The village was thought to have been massacred only when the buildings were empty. As for killing thousands of people, it was impossible. During this period, Aslan suppressed many small bandit groups and village tyrants, killing hundreds of people.
It was only because of rumors that they became a thousand people. As for the thousands of troops, this is true, but five hundred of them are construction corps. Although they are also with the army, they are not armed with weapons, but tools. Completely
They just work for a salary, but they are subordinate to the city lord's palace, so they are called the Construction Corps.
Their main tasks are to build roads and reclaim wasteland.
Aslan never expected that after this mission, Caron would completely change Jimmy Town's attitude towards Merlo Town, and even spread the name of Merlo Tyrant throughout the Merlo region, and even in several surrounding areas.
.
Three days later, Aslan set off for the city of Pele early, not because he wanted to go, but because he couldn't.
The money bank in the small town of Merlot is almost running out of money.
During this period, there was only expenditure but no income, and there was still more than a month before the next tax payment. Water from afar could not quench the thirst of the people nearby, so Aslan planned to set off for Billy City to purchase a batch of iron ore and salt.
