Now, although the royal family and the ten major lords are approaching each other with large armies, according to reports, both sides are not fully prepared and are not in a hurry to start a fight.
Based on Merria's understanding of the situation, this confrontation will continue for at least three months.
"How about we make a bet. If we don't start a war within three days with these 10,000 war horses, how about all the 10,000 war horses belong to you, and if the war starts, all the 10,000 war horses will belong to me?" Aslan said with great interest.
Miria's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but think carefully about Aslan's bet.
"Okay, I'll bet with you." Miria finally decided to bet, she had absolute confidence.
Aslan immediately showed a proud smile.
"Then just wait and transport the weapons and equipment to them first. War horses are rare things, so bring them back first."
Miria nodded and immediately took out a list. This is the weapons and equipment they can mobilize now.
Aslan just glanced at it and said indifferently: "Let me, Mero City, make up the rest! I happened to be producing a batch of weapons recently and have no place to use them."
Recently, the hydraulic workshop has been fully started, and several workshops are coming out one after another. Presumably hydraulic forging hammers, hydraulic machine tools, and large hydraulic spinning wheels require much smaller water speeds. Saxony has suggested to Aslan to build several workshops in the industrial zone.
A circulating water canal to accelerate the development of the textile industry.
Now that the Merlot Army has completely changed its equipment, even the city defense troops have all changed into Huanshou Swords. The retired weapons are equipped with all reserve corps and construction corps.
As for the weapons and equipment specially built for the ten major lords, a warehouse has been accumulated.
When Miria heard Aslan's words, she subconsciously looked at Cruze. It was obvious that Cruze had something he didn't tell her.
"Don't look at Cruze. He doesn't know a lot of things. Even if he knows, he won't understand. It's useless to tell you." Aslan said a rare kind word.
Cruze glanced at Aslan gratefully, while Aslan glanced at him with a look of disgust, not wanting to offend this 'hep-controller' guy.
Nowadays, not only the major tribes, but also Meria has opened an office in Mero City. However, the name does not dare to be directly named Gao Erlan, but is named Loki Chamber of Commerce.
"I heard that you recently produced a new kind of cloth called woolen cloth?" Miria followed Aslan and asked curiously.
Aslan nodded angrily, snapped his fingers, and Nomeli took out a woolen military coat for Aslan, which was completely modeled after the German army coat from World War II.
With Aslan's current height, paired with this gray woolen coat, he shows off his masculine style.
Miria's eyes shone brightly, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the material of the coat.
"The fabric is very comfortable and feels very warm!" Miria said lightly.
Aslan nodded.
"This is the latest military coat. It is mainly equipped for officers at all levels. How about it, it looks handsome!" Aslan said, pulling the collar very coquettishly.
Cruze was very unruly and said: "So handsome, so handsome!"
Aslan burst out laughing, but he couldn't laugh at Cruze's next sentence.
"What about mine?"
"Go away! How can you, the leader of the Gorlan Army, wear the uniform of our Mero Army?" Aslan said angrily.
Meria didn't want to delve further into this matter, because winter was approaching and they didn't have enough winter clothes in their territory to survive the winter, so they planned to come here to buy a large amount of cloth and go back.
In previous years, Miria could only try to squeeze everyone together, but this year is different. She knows that Merlo City has new textile machines, and the production speed of cloth is dozens or even a hundred times that of other lords. Other lords may need to
Considering winter, Melo City definitely doesn’t need it.
At least from the fact that many people on the street have changed into winter clothes, it can be seen that there is no shortage of cloth in Merlo City, and the price of cloth has reached a price that the people can afford.
"I came here to purchase at least 10,000 pieces of cloth to prepare for the coming winter." Meria spoke again.
Aslan said angrily: "Why do I feel like you have ulterior motives every time you come here?"
Cruze nodded indifferently, which made Miria a little embarrassed.
"Okay, anyway, we already have a large reserve of sweaters, so no one will freeze to death this winter." Aslan said very confidently.
"Sweater? How about that thing? How effective is it in keeping out the cold?" Miria suddenly became interested.
Aslan pointed to the turtleneck sweater worn by a female soldier next to her.
"That's it. You'll know just by asking yourself."
Of course it was impossible for Miria, so she just walked over and asked a few words, then let her eyes go.
After all, there is no such thing as cotton-padded clothes in this world, so there are only two types of clothing to keep out the cold in winter. One is a large coat made of precious furs and animal skins, which can only be worn by nobles and wealthy people.
The other is a coat made of two layers of cloth for ordinary people, with poultry feathers or reeds sandwiched in between.
The coat stuffed with feathers is okay, at least it is the predecessor of the down jacket, and the thermal insulation effect is of course needless to say, but the kind of coat stuffed with reeds is hard to say.
Fortunately, the Gorland Plateau is originally in a cold winter zone. The Gorlan people have long adapted to the cold winter. Adult men, especially, are much more resistant to the cold winter, but children and women cannot. Cloth is prepared for the winter.
Child and woman getting ready.
"How to sell sweaters?" Miria asked eagerly.
Aslan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't know. Except for each soldier in the army, everything else is sold at a fixed price by the city hall. People can buy it at a discounted price as long as they have cloth tickets. As for what you want to buy?"
The prices are different, so you need to discuss it with the city hall yourself."
Miria nodded, instantly understanding what Aslan meant. She couldn't help but envy Aslan in her heart for taking the role of a lord so easily. He was just a hands-off boss.
Aslan finished inspecting his territory and just returned to the city lord's palace when he saw that Lancelot had been waiting for him for a long time.
Seeing Lancelot, Aslan's eyes flashed.
"It's finally here."
"What happened, I need you to come here in person." Aslan asked calmly.
Nomiri very cooperatively poured a cup of black tea for Aslan and Lancelot.
"Alonso has led the army to join forces with the Crosby army. If nothing unexpected happens, they will attack the city in three days." Lancelot drank the black tea in the cup in one gulp and said with a solemn expression.
Aslan's fingers slowly tapped the table, making a dull sound.
Nomeli stood quietly behind Aslan, her mind now full of thoughts about the night.
"What's the situation in Billy City now?" Aslan asked.
