Duke Medea is still staring at Aslan's 200 million loan.
When they heard that Aslan still had eighty million, not only Duke Medea, but also Vatini and Natal's eyes lit up.
In addition to being busy, they are also short of money. If they can get a large amount of financial support, they will be much more relaxed.
"This money cannot be used. I want to build large-scale roads in the Mero area and build a large number of breeding farms and factories. All of these require money." Aslan said bravely.
Duke Medea has made a lot of money relying on Aslan's magic lamp over the years, but the money earned by the Tianping Chamber of Commerce over the years is simply a drop in the bucket.
She felt unbalanced and wanted to dig some money out of Aslan.
Now that he has control over the entire Merlox province, Duke Medea plans to expand the Magic Tower and raise it a few more floors on top of the existing one. It would be great if it could reach fifteen floors. After all, it is the tallest Magic Tower in the entire Kingdom of Cleveland.
It only has fourteen floors, and the tallest magic tower in the entire Xino continent only has fifteen floors.
The Arizona Magic Empire and the Magic Capital each have one. If the Merlox Province also had a fifteen-story magic tower, it would definitely shock the entire continent.
Duke Medea might not have dared to think this way before, but when he saw the eleven-story building built by Aslan in Kyoto, it was a building that could be built without any magic except for the ladder to heaven.
"If I want to rebuild a magic tower, how long will it take and how much money will it cost?" Duke Medea did not continue to delve into Aslan's development plan and asked as if to change the subject.
Aslan blinked and instantly understood Duke Medea's plan, which was to ask him to contribute money and effort.
"Then let's see how tall and big the magic tower the teacher wants." Aslan said with confidence.
In his previous life, he built the tallest and largest magic tower in the history of Xinuo Continent. Unfortunately, she died after only a few years of living there.
"As high as you want." Duke Medea said directly.
Aslan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and finally accepted this project, this magic tower. Aslan estimated that Duke Medea would not give him a single copper coin.
"Then I need time to go back to design." Aslan said weakly.
Duke Medea nodded.
"I will see a rough plan within half a month at most."
Aslan's mouth twitched, and he could only accept it bravely.
As for the highways and breeding industry mentioned by Aslan, everyone did not care at all, because they had already seen and experienced those things, and they had no idea that Aslan was planning to do a big project this time, and it was no longer a small project like before.
.
After staying in Naris City for another half day, Aslan was able to go home. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave as soon as possible, but Natal and the others didn't want to let go. They all wanted to fight Aslan.
In the end, Aslan could only leave with a sponsorship fee of 500,000 Marks each.
Aslan's convoy had just entered the Stone Fortress in the Melo area, and found that the Stone Fortress had completely become a military fortress. The walls were all made of concrete and steel bars, and cement roads had been laid to the Billy area. In terms of design,
Along the way, construction of cement roads has begun on many key arteries in Belgium.
The city gate of Stone Fortress opened, and Goode led a thousand city defense troops to greet Aslan in neat steps.
"Lord! You are back." Good said after giving a military salute to Aslan.
Aslan nodded and said lightly.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The soldiers behind Goode said in unison: "Serve the people of Mero."
A satisfied smile appeared on Aslan's face, and he could see that the political commissars of each army had made remarkable achievements in ideological construction.
The tunnel in Copeland Mountain was also opened, half a year faster than Aslan expected. The tunnel is lit with magic lights and is 1.5 kilometers long. Although it looks luxurious, it reduces the number of roads outside the Melo area.
It's half the distance. Now it takes less than half a day to go back and forth to Billy City at full speed. It's countless times faster than before.
Back to Merlo City, there is no city wall in Merlo City today. The only fortification is Wood Fortress. Wood Fortress has connected the entire pass and passage. It can be said that Wood Fortress is the city wall of Merlo City.
If you include the huge area in the middle, the Mero region can definitely be regarded as the largest city in the history of the Xinuo continent.
Outside the original Melo City, there were a bunch of six-story buildings neatly arranged, which looked as majestic as a city wall from a distance.
It's a pity that they are not city walls, and Aslan does not intend to build city walls. When weapons are developed to their extreme, city walls can no longer effectively protect the city. Especially after the advent of flying combat boots, as long as they are mass-produced, high-altitude bombing can be achieved, and the left and right sides of the city wall can be realized.
It has completely lost its right and left.
"It seems that after we return, we will provide the army with an additional training subject for urban street fighting." Aslan muttered subconsciously.
At this time, the Valkyrie troops who happened to be returning from patrol noticed Aslan's convoy and rushed towards Aslan while cheering.
The leaders were none other than his sister-in-law Mordred and the commander of the Valkyrie, Ashley.
Mordred's aura is stronger and more stable. If nothing else happens, in a few years, Aslan will have one more mentor-level expert under his command. Among them, Ashley, who surprised Aslan the most, has actually reached
The strength of the swordsman.
However, among the direct troops of the Merlot Army, except for the Aslan Knight Guard, Ashley is the strongest.
Only Alfonso has reached the level of swordsman. The others are only at the level of great swordsmen. Only the great swordsmen of the Pendragon family cannot be regarded as direct descendants of the Merlot Army. Even if they have great swordsmen,
With his strength, he can only serve as Artoria's second-in-command.
"Welcome to the return of Lord Lord!" Ashley gave a very respectful aristocratic salute.
Aslan smiled and nodded, before speaking.
Ashley said directly: "Lord! The establishment of the Valkyrie Army has been ongoing. There are 500 people in total. About 400 people have become professionals. My subordinates have applied to expand the army."
After hearing this, Aslan blinked, this rhythm is wrong!
Before Aslan could speak, officer representatives from the Merlot Army and the Merlot Knights rushed over one after another. After saluting Aslan, each one made a request to expand the army.
At this time, Aslan was completely confused.
He had only been away from the Melo area for a little over two months, but he felt that many things were developing beyond expectations.
At this time, Aslan also noticed that the number of people entering and leaving Mero City was increasing, and there was a huge refugee camp on the right side of Mero City. Judging from its size, it could accommodate tens of thousands of refugees at least.
