Outside the city lord's palace, Aslan's motorcade had just stopped. Arthur looked at the empty city lord's palace. No one came to greet the new lord. His face suddenly turned cold. He wanted to shout angrily, but Aslan stopped him.
Stopped.
"There's no rush. It's been a long and tiring journey for so many days. Let the brothers take a good rest so that they won't be in bad shape when fighting."
A glint flashed in Arthur's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This failure and injury made the young master grow a lot.
"Yes! Master!"
The town commander Essien and the guard Ronde ran out of the city lord's palace in a panic, especially Ronde who still smelled of alcohol and was obviously drunk just now.
In his previous life, Aslan had just traveled through time. He was born in a society governed by the rule of law, and he was still disgusted with violence. In the end, he just criticized Rond and did not severely punish Rond, so he left the impression on the people in the town that he was weak and could be bullied.
In fact, these were deliberately arranged by Claude, just to undermine Aslan's prestige. He was confident that no matter how angry Aslan was, he would not dare to force their brothers too much.
After all, Claude is the strongest man in the town, and his brother is the town's militia guard. If the two brothers are pushed into a hurry, there is no guarantee that something drastic will not happen.
After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
After so many years, the people of Merlo Town have long understood that the nobles behind the Merlo area have ignored this place for decades and have obviously abandoned them. Since the Sarah family exiled Aslan here,
He had no intention of letting Aslan live well.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Cleveland have always been extremely cruel in their rule over the common people.
Once people rebel, suppression will only become more bloody and brutal.
The surrounding countries are notorious for fighting internally and externally.
If you want to master Merlo Town as quickly as possible, these two brothers must not stay.
The expressionless Aslan passed by the mayor and the guard, leaving them stunned, especially Rond. He originally planned to embarrass Aslan, the new lord, in public, but he didn't expect Aslan.
Lan actually wasn't angry, didn't even have any expression on his face, and didn't pay any attention to them.
Aslan came to Merlot Town for three days. In addition to occupying the entire City Lord's Mansion and driving all the original office staff out of the City Lord's Mansion, it was as peaceful and quiet as before, as if no lord had ever entered.
This made the Claude brothers feel like they were punching cotton, unable to exert any force.
It wasn't until the 'big shots' in the town received an invitation that they all started to think thoughtfully.
The city lord's palace is very simple. Because it is a defensive city, many facilities are very simple. In order to facilitate the banquet, Aslan had the redundant furniture in the hall moved away, leaving only the dining table for the guests.
Due to the limitations of the place, Aslan could not do anything. He could not hold the banquet at the gate of the city lord's palace. How would it be appropriate to do so.
For this banquet, Aslan put a lot of effort into bringing out all the red wine he brought from Kyoto, and also prepared a lot of delicious desserts, and almost consumed most of the food he brought.
But it was all worth it. Seeing the guests in front of him devouring their food, Aslan couldn't help but shake his head. Even if he is a 'big shot' in the town, he still has very little knowledge after living in such an isolated town all year round.
"This bunch of rubes."
An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded next to him. Although the voice was very small, Aslan still heard it.
The speaker's name is Lancelot, he is the youngest knight of Aslan's Knight Guard. He was born into a poor family. He is very unpopular among the knights in Kyoto, especially since there are not enough good resources to provide training and allow him to grow.
His speed is extremely slow, his strength has always been tepid, and he is young and has little combat experience.
In the Knight Guard, the strength has always been at the tail end.
For such an inconspicuous person, only Aslan knows how far this sunny boy will grow as time goes by.
Lancelot was born to be a ruthless man. For a long time to come, he would be Aslan's secret sword, specializing in cleaning up shady things for him. He would always be Aslan's right-hand man.
When Aslan was in trouble, he did not commit suicide like Arthur, but fled with Aslan's family as soon as possible, leaving a little incense for Aslan.
Compared to Arthur's foolish loyalty, Aslan admired Lancelot's flexibility more.
"I don't want to hear words like that again."
Aslan raised the wine glass in his hand and said neither salty nor light.
Lancelot was forced to follow Aslan, and his original unwillingness and despair suddenly came to life.
Lancelot, who climbed up from the bottom of society, has a much stronger understanding of human nature than a veteran knight like Arthur. From Aslan's indifferent tone, he heard a kind of confidence and an absolute understanding of the situation.
Confidence in control.
"Wait and follow my orders." Aslan said and walked towards Rond holding the goblet.
Ronde, who was eating with a greasy mouth, saw Aslan coming, and quickly wiped his hands, wanting to say hello to Aslan.
"Kill him." Aslan's cold voice rang in Lancelot's ears. He was just stunned for a moment, then burst out with the fastest speed he had ever seen, and thrust the sword into Rond's chest.
Ronde watched with astonishment and fear as Lancelot's sword pierced his chest. Before he could even cry out for help, he was pierced by Lancelot's sword. Crow, who had been paying attention to Aslan,
Seeing this scene, De's face changed drastically. He instantly thought of several possibilities. He did not hesitate at all, let alone argue with Aslan, but wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Unfortunately, he was blocked by Arthur who had been staring at him.
Aslan quickly threw a dagger in front of Rond, and then drank loudly.
"Bold, you actually dare to assassinate this lord."
People who were originally in shock subconsciously widened their eyes, but they all accepted this reason. After all, Aslan has not issued any government orders since entering the territory. He has been focusing on recovering from his injuries. He has not officially appeared in public until today.
This is what happened.
If it were anyone else, others would be suspicious, but when the Ronde brothers did such a thing, everyone took it for granted.
These two brothers have always been ambitious and want to rule the entire town of Merlo, but they have been jointly resisted by others. Even so, the two brothers have always suppressed the people of the Zhenling faction with their powerful force.
The most important thing is that these two brothers have criminal records. They once assassinated a lord, which scared the lord and fled the town of Mero.
