With the full cooperation of Natal and Vatini, the expeditionary force assembled faster than expected.
Before confirming the dispatch of troops, Aslan wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from the grassland coalition forces.
In the guest house, Savannah looked at Aslan nervously.
Before that, she had visited Eletelina, the Elf Queen, and got an accurate answer from her.
If Aslan wants to send troops, he must recognize Aslan's status as lord and the whole family must submit.
In fact, when she came, Savannah also determined the bottom line of the tribe. Both the grassland elves and the centaurs were willing to surrender, but they required the same independence and autonomy as the Principality of Telina.
This negotiation was surprisingly simple and easy, and independence and autonomy were passed very easily.
The Beifeng Prairie will become the Beifeng Autonomous Province of the Mero region. Under the centralized and unified leadership of Mero City and in compliance with the provisions of the Mero Charter, various ethnic groups will establish autonomous areas, establish autonomous agencies, and exercise autonomy based on settlement areas.
rights and enjoy the autonomy system of being the masters of the country and managing the internal affairs of the region and the ethnic group.
After getting Aslan's exact answer, Savannah finally showed a rare smile on her face.
Looking at Savannah walking away, the corners of Aslan's mouth raised slightly.
His real goal is not the two million people in the Beifeng Prairie, but the resources contained underground in the vast Beifeng Prairie. Nowadays, oil shale and petroleum have been confirmed. I remember there were several large coal mines and iron mines in his previous life.
These will all be strategic resources in the future.
Industrial power has long been measured by steel production.
As soon as Savannah left, Elitelina came. In private occasions, she didn't look like a noble and cool queen at all. She only remembered to step over Aslan's lap and sit on him.
"Did you make it?"
Aslan put his arm around Elitelina's waist and said with a smile: "With your help paving the way, I can't find a reason to fail."
"Haha!" Iletelina laughed for a while, then suddenly said with a serious expression: "In this expedition, I want to participate in the battle, and there are five thousand elves."
Aslan nodded. After all, there were too many enemies this time. It would be nice to have more combat power.
"good!"
After Eletelina got Aslan's approval, she started chewing on Aslan.
One night, after the two of them broke through their boundaries, they would occasionally have a love game together.
The two of them quickly rolled onto the big bed in the hotel.
After the Battle of Merlox, the United Army had expanded its strength to 600,000 after recruiting two new recruits.
After leaving 100,000 troops each in the Kes area and the Naris area, Aslan led the expeditionary force and set off for the Alliance City.
This time, Aslan didn't even need to mobilize before the war. He just issued an order, and many soldiers took action on their own initiative.
Because as long as you win the battle, you will be able to obtain meritorious deeds. Meritorious merit can be exchanged for fighting spirit techniques and school qualifications. The most important thing is to grant land.
Only those who have achieved great merit in the war can exchange their merit for fields.
This was definitely a huge prize in an era when 90% of the land belonged to the aristocratic class. Coupled with the highly productive agriculture in the Merlot area, as long as there was land, it was impossible to starve to death.
Once these soldiers have permanent property, these people will stick closely to Aslan. Anyone who wants to overthrow him will encounter the fiercest resistance from those who have gained.
This is also the reason why Aslan quickly united the entire Merlox province after taking over.
People are driven not by words and whips, but by real interests.
At the same time, it also stimulated the soldiers' fighting enthusiasm. Just like this time, Aslan did not need any pre-war mobilization, and the soldiers spontaneously signed up to join the war.
The 200,000 soldiers left behind were almost depressed to death.
Naturally, the Air Mage Brigade was dispatched this time, and the Alpha Operation Team also dispatched 3,000 people. The heavily armored guards and Valkyries still stayed in the Mero area.
These two troops are now the anchors of the Mero region. As long as they are still there, the Mero region will not fall.
Their merits are directly linked to the expeditionary force. After all, they are responsible for looking after the house and protecting the logistics line.
It was said that there were 400,000 troops, but in fact when they marched to the Changfeng Plain, 50,000 Merlot troops and 30,000 Merlot Knights also joined, gradually reaching the 500,000 mark.
Such a large-scale operation could not be concealed at all, and soon the news spread to the Ten-Party Alliance and the Kingdom of Cleveland.
However, both the Ten-Party Alliance and the Kingdom of Cleveland have tacitly remained silent about this.
The Ten-Party Alliance had just lost the battle and suffered heavy losses. They were helpless and could only silently lick their wounds.
After all, Merlocks Province is still nominally a member of the Kingdom of Cleveland. The Kingdom of Cleveland will never send troops to Merlocks Province without righteousness.
Although no troops have been sent, they are paying close attention to this issue.
When the expeditionary force passed through the Changfeng Plain, the orc representatives from various orc farms wanted to join the expedition with more than a thousand people. They brought their own equipment, although they were all simple leather armors and rusty long swords, but each of them
There was a strong fighting spirit on his face.
All the orcs have received the news that the Ottoman Kingdom will invade the Borean Steppe with all its strength, and then they will definitely enter the rich province of Merox.
This battle is no less than a large-scale battle to defend Merlox.
Whether they are human race or alien race, they are very concerned about this.
In the past two years, the half-orcs have determined that Lord Aslan sincerely accepts them as subjects and no longer slaves, so that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the lord.
Iron Hammer was once an ordinary half-orc. After two years of well-fed life, he luckily evolved into a half-orc warrior. Under the evil propaganda of the farmer against the Ottoman Kingdom, he decided to pick up the weapon.
Weapons assist the lord in fighting.
All the farmers of the orc farms are people carefully selected by Aslan. They are absolutely loyal. They also go to Mero City every once in a while to take political classes. After returning, they give lessons to brainwash the orcs on the farm.
, over time, the half-orcs have basically become Aslan’s fanatical supporters.
When Aslan saw these orc warriors, he was also very embarrassed. Because he needed to consider the attitudes of other alien races, he had not allowed the orcs to participate in any military training.
Now it seems that they are the most elite soldiers like the barbarian warriors, but letting a group of poorly equipped orc warriors go to the battlefield is simply trampling on life.
"I appreciate your good intentions. The battle has not yet reached the point of no return. I will not let untrained people with crude weapons join the battle. As a lord, I must be responsible for the lives of every citizen.
, Cardo, Teleman, you two bastards, take people back quickly."
