When Kira withdrew to Yalanshi Province, it took less than a week for the unified army and the rebel army to occupy the entire Yalanshi Province, and the whole process only took a short month.
This is because the draft horse pulling the cart needs to rest, otherwise the speed can be faster.
Of course, when Kira left later, he also took away all the remaining nobles and troops, otherwise Aslan would have spent at least half a month longer.
In the main city of Trinvi, the last main city in the province of Arans, Aslan came to the high platform built in the square under the protection of layers of guards. Standing next to him was Goodluff, while Duke Medea was hidden on the other side.
In order to attract all the people to the square, Aslan stipulated that after the speech, each person would be given two pieces of jade cakes. This attracted nearly 50,000 people from the main city of Trinvi, almost filling the entire square, and glaring at them.
, densely packed with human heads.
"I am the lord of the Merlo region, the supreme commander of the unified army of Merlox Province, Marquis Aslan Salamello. I am calling everyone here today to talk about your future. Many people should be very scared. Will I
To retaliate against you for the defense of Merlocks, the answer is no, from today on you will all be my subjects, and as the lord, I will be responsible for you."
As soon as these words came out, they did not cause much response, which was what Aslan expected.
"The lord is responsible for us? Lord, will you distribute food to us? Those hateful nobles took away all the food from the granary of the main city of Trinwe when they left. Now that there is no food supply, we will all be in danger
Starved to death."
As soon as these words came out, the whole square was in an uproar, and many people were also panicked.
After all, none of them knew about this matter. In fact, the person who said this was also the one arranged by Lancelot, otherwise ordinary people would not know about these things.
"This lord has said that you are my lord's subjects, and this lord will be responsible for you." Aslan said firmly.
"You are all kept in the dark by Duke Jibril. The final winner in the defense of Merlocks is me, because I defeated the coalition forces of the Ten Alliance and directly severely damaged them. As the winner, I am
There is no need for revenge, not to mention that you are now my subjects."
"In the following time, my lord will distribute a relief food every day. Although it will not be enough to eat, it can ensure that you will not starve to death. Moreover, I will issue work tasks in the city hall every day. As long as you are willing to work, you can
To obtain remuneration and food, the first priority now is to solve the locust plague and restore production, because Merox Province cannot supply food for such a large population. If production cannot be restored next year, this lord can only withdraw to Merox Province in despair and give up.
The entire Yalanshi province."
Aslan's words were deliberately alarmist, spreading the idea of crisis to the ears of every citizen, and heightening the anxiety of the people in the main city of Trinvi.
If the relief provided by the lord is lost, it will not take long for the entire main city of Trinwe to run out of food. No one dares to predict what terrible things will happen by then, because they have seen too much. The refugees outside the city are extremely hungry.
Sometimes, children and the elderly will even be killed to serve as food.
It was simply hell on earth.
"Lord! Even if we can resume production, the next food harvest will be half a year away. Will you abandon us during this period?"
The tongue asked again, asking the voice of all the people.
"As long as production can be resumed, I will do my best to persevere. After all, we were all from Cleveland. If production is resumed, you will still have hope."
Aslan's words made many people slightly stunned.
After all, we were all once Clevelanders. This saying deeply penetrated into the hearts of the people.
That's right! They were all once members of the Kingdom of Cleveland. The Kingdom of Cleveland has ruled this country for more than two hundred years and has penetrated into the hearts of everyone.
Aslan simply destroyed their psychological defenses. They had always been worried that Aslan would exploit them and enslave them. Even if he proposed to distribute relief food, not many people really believed it. But when Aslan said
It dawned on them when they met a fellow Clevelander.
They are not the people of the defeated country, but the people who were coerced by Duke Jibril to betray the kingdom.
"We were all one family, one country, and an indivisible part. However, some profit-driven nobles, in order to enjoy more rights and desires, betrayed the kingdom, deceived the people, and led you to the abyss of hell and let war
It continues to fill our lives. How many of our relatives have died because of the war, how many people have been separated from their families because of the war, and even in order to start a war, they ignore the people's food shortage, making it even worse for us who are deep in drought and locust plagues. All these
It’s all the work of those hateful old nobles.”
Many people thought of their deceased family members and relatives, and many people's eyes turned red.
"I know that many of you support the rebels in the Tok region. I have also been in contact with the rebels. The leader of the rebels, Cruze Prince, is a great man. I admire his belief very much, and I also admire him.
I suddenly realized that the people are the greatest wealth of the lord. If you live a better life, as a lord, I can live a more relaxed and prosperous life. Therefore, I decided to join forces with the rebels and follow their example in distributing fields to all the people, so that everyone can live a more comfortable and prosperous life.
The people all turned over and became landlords."
As soon as these words came out, the whole square was in an uproar, and many people started talking.
They may not know Aslan, but Cruze's rebel army began to promote their ideas after occupying the Tok area, and successfully attracted many people who could not survive to defect to the Tok area. With the addition of the rebel army
Underground organizations that have developed secretly in various regions have provided relief and assistance to poor people from time to time, and have established a good reputation, allowing the people to unknowingly accept the existence of the rebel army.
Many people have even secretly joined the underground organization of the rebel army to spread information for them, hoping that the rebel army can attack them as soon as possible.
Overthrow all the aristocratic landowners and let the people be the masters of the country again.
Wu Lusi, who was under the high platform, looked at Cruze with a strange expression.
"I really didn't expect you to be so great and the prestige of Yalanshi Province to be so high."
After hearing this, Kruse couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"I didn't understand why the lord asked me to do this before. It wasn't until today that I realized that he had planned all of this. He would use me to build his reputation, and when the time is right, he would come directly to pick peaches."
Hearing this, the Knight Guards couldn't help but laugh.
