Simya quickly stopped Meni's words, feeling that her words were a bit exaggerated, and said to Annie: "What do you think?"
Meni suddenly became unhappy. Her father didn't trust her.
"Those of us who still have homes to return to, the lord sent troops to escort us home. He also said that if we are in trouble in the future, or if we can't survive, we can go and seek refuge with him." After Anne finished speaking, a look of longing could not help but appear in her eyes.
The two days in Mero Town were definitely the happiest days of her life. She had a warm bed to sleep in, and enough food to eat every day. Everyone there had a happy look on their face.
"How many troops does Lord Mero have?" Simya suddenly became vigilant when he heard that the army was sent to escort them home.
Anne shook her head. On the first day, she was still in despair and confusion, and she didn't even notice how many troops there were in Merlo Town.
Minnie raised her hands excitedly.
"I know this, I have roughly counted it."
Simya's eyes lit up, and even others gathered around him curiously. After all, he was the nominal lord of this area, but unlike Baron Jimmy, his name was not justified.
"There are about five to six hundred people in the city defense army, and there are four to five hundred people in the Mero army. The Mero army is the escort force when we come back. There is also a construction corps of a thousand people. This is what I heard. By the way, I also read
The army composed of barbarian warriors was not large in number, but there were about a hundred people."
The more Minnie spoke, the colder Simya's heart became.
Two to three thousand troops!
There were several times more people than the entire village.
"What about the population? How is Merlo Town doing now?" Landol asked curiously.
He remembered a visit when he was very young. Although there were not many people there, the houses there were so beautiful, especially the castle in the center of the town, which was the largest house he had ever seen in his life.
"Many, I heard there were tens of thousands of people. I don't know about the town. I didn't go in at that time." Mei Ni said with a look of regret.
Mei Ni began to talk about what she saw and heard in Mero Town, which made many people express envy.
Scenes like this happened all over the Mero region. As for the six lords of the Billy region who invaded the Mero region, they encountered resistance of varying sizes.
One of them, Viscount Hillman, was the most unlucky, because the area he occupied happened to have four infantry squads of the Merlot Army. Together with the people in that area who were unwilling to be expelled, they teamed up to defeat Viscount Hillman's army that entered the Merlot area.
He abandoned his armor and escaped from the Mero area.
Of the 500-man vanguard, less than 200 returned, and the rest were all killed on the spot. Viscount Hillman was so distressed that he was speechless.
He only had a thousand private troops, and he lost a third of them in one fell swoop. How could he not feel distressed?
This is not just an army, but a young and strong workforce.
It was just a preliminary test, but the six lords combined lost seven to eight hundred soldiers, forcing them to stop the invasion and prepare to study countermeasures together.
When there was news that the six lords of the Billy region had invaded the Melo region, Essien immediately asked Alfonso to go to the city of Billy with an urgent message. The important matter must be decided by the lord Aslan himself.
When Aslan received Essien's letter, two days later, he asked Kruse to leave for the Rocky Mountains. The time was ripe.
"Gawain, you and Alfonso will return to Merlo Town immediately to prepare for war. In the first battle, we will attack Baron Jimmy."
Before leaving, Aslan gave Gawain a battle order.
The reason why Baron Jimmy was chosen to attack was because of Aslan's experience in fighting Baron Jimmy in his previous life.
Among the six lords, Baron Jimmy has the largest army, with an army of 2,500, but the combat effectiveness is the weakest among the six lords. It can really be regarded as an army, with only a few hundred people.
As long as those few hundred main forces are killed, more than 70% to 80% of the remaining troops will surrender directly.
When attacking Jimmy Town in the previous life, after defeating the main force of Jimmy's army, the remaining troops surrendered. The army marched into Jimmy Town, and thousands of slaves surrendered.
Compared to other lords, more than 30% of the population of Jimmy Town were slaves. Because of the huge number, Baron Jimmy did not implement slave contracts for all slaves.
After all, he is not a magician, so it is simply impossible to sign slave contracts for everyone.
Therefore, if you attack Baron Jimmy, as long as you can defeat the opponent, you will definitely get a population gift package, which can also damage the morale of these lords.
"Lancelot, follow the method I gave you and catch those mice."
After Aslan finished speaking, he sat quietly at his desk and used the Chinese from his previous life to draw out the characters who were assassinated in Black June.
Eighty percent of them are the heads of major families in the city of Belgium. These people are the backbone of the entire Belgium region, and together with the Marquis of Medea, they form the ruling class of the Belgium region.
Once these people are assassinated, their families will definitely be in chaos, and then under the guidance of thoughtful people, they will easily choose war. No matter how high the prestige of the Marquis of Medea is, he will not be able to stop it.
"The first person to be assassinated was Alliston Rollin, the chief executive of Billy City. His family controlled one-third of the officials in the city hall and 80% of the city's grain business."
Aslan rubbed his temples and began to analyze the pros and cons. This Alliston can effectively contain Vatini's power in the city hall and prevent her from doing whatever she wants. The most important thing is that there are people in her family who are loyal followers of Vatini.
.
"Alliston must be protected!"
Aslan ticked Alliston's name.
The next name made Aslan look a little complicated.
Count Uther Pendragon of Pele City is now the commander of the city defense army. He also has a well-known name in Pele City, and is the strongest knight under the command of the Marquis of Medea.
The only high knight in the city of Billy, but the one who really made Aslan look complicated was Uther's daughter, Arturia Pendragon, Aslan's real wife in his previous life.
In the previous life, Aslan and Artoria had a purely political marriage, relying on the strong influence in the Melo region to consolidate the family's position in Billy City.
Aslan's feelings for Artoria were very complicated.
This is a man with a serious character, loyalty and integrity, and possesses the honor and pride of being a knight.
He also has a high degree of self-esteem, has a strong personality and refuses to admit defeat, and is keen on winning and losing in competition and ignores the things around him.
I like to try to solve problems independently and have confidence in my abilities.
Aslan's top level fighting spirit training technique was obtained by Aslan from Artoria.
It is said that she improved it from her family's advanced fighting qi technique.
"This is a woman who doesn't like to mess around. The thing she dislikes most is failure." Aslan suddenly said with a smile.
Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and was instantly relieved after seeing User's name.
