For the six major lords to form a coalition to attack the Mero region, Aslan is missing a Vatini.
Without Vatini's support, the two battles between Merlot's army would have been enough to scare off the six lords. However, with Vatini's intervention, the situation and things became much more complicated.
From the beginning, Aslan did not take Baron Jimmy, his defeated opponent, seriously, so early in the morning, he led his people to the city defense army camp in a swagger.
Aslan's mission is very simple, just as he reported to Marquis Medea, he came to search for the spies of the Inquisition.
The reason why he was so sure that there were spies in the city defense army was due to the death of User during the Black June Incident.
With the strength of the great swordsman User at his peak, it is definitely not an easy task to assassinate him. Without the ability to dispatch a strong swordsman mentor, the only way to ensure the success of the assassination is to have the closest person take action, and
You must also have the strength of a great swordsman.
Who are the people closest to Uther? Artoria and the old butler Toram.
Neither of these two people is possible, because after Uther's death, it was the two of them who supported the Pendragon family.
Therefore, the only people who can assassinate him are close associates of the city defense army.
Aslan took Lancelot and the search team he trained with him. Their main task was to search for possible code marks left by the Inquisition in the military camp.
Uther did not greet Aslan at the gate, but arranged for his lieutenant Ector.
"Hello! Master Ninth, I am the deputy commander of the city defense army, Ector Geronl."
A strong man appeared in front of Aslan, with his right hand on his chest and his body bent slightly.
Aslan's eyes flashed with light after seeing Ector.
It doesn't take much effort to find it even after wearing iron shoes and finding nowhere.
I thought it would take some time to find the spies, but now it seems that it doesn't take much at all. All it takes is for Lancelot to catch a few small fish and shrimps and go back to hand in the task.
Aslan saw this Ector for the first time today, but he had seen this guy countless times in his previous life.
The number one guard around Vlada, later changed his name to Ector Mu La, a swordsman mentor.
Does this still require searching for spies?
At this moment, Aslan suddenly wanted to say, how wonderful it is to be reborn!
"Commander Ector, you should know the purpose of my visit this time, so I'll trouble you." Aslan said in return with a smile.
Although Eckert was upset in his heart, on the outside he looked warm and hospitable.
"If that's the case, Master Ninth is doing this for the sake of the stability of Billy City. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you."
Aslan also chatted with Ector very politely, but instead asked Lancelot to take someone to deal with the matter.
Lancelot, including those he led during this operation, all wore hoods on their faces, making it difficult to see their appearance. They quickly divided into six teams and spread out to search around the military camp.
Eckert looked at the movements of the men in black in front of him, and his pupils shrank slightly. For a senior spy who had been lurking in Billy City for nearly ten years, he could tell from simple actions and reactions that the group of people in front of him were
The professional spy search force has only been established for a short time and its actions are not sophisticated enough.
When did Billy City establish such a counterintelligence force?
Is it possible that the Marquis of Medea commissioned Aslan to build it?
This is big news and must be reported to the Lord as soon as possible. No wonder so many people have been arrested recently. It seems that it must be the handiwork of Aslan.
Aslan did not expect that he would be exposed through one of his unlucky actions.
It's a pity that nothing matters anymore, because he knows very well that if he can prevent the Black June incident, he will definitely be on Vlada's blacklist.
While Aslan was searching the city defense camp, Baron Jimmy, who had been traveling all night, finally arrived at Billy City and went directly to the city hall.
Watini does not have a mansion in Billy City. The places where she spends the most time every day are the Magic Tower and the City Hall.
Baron Jimmy only waited in the city hall for less than twenty minutes. Watini gracefully walked down the circular staircase upstairs, wearing the recently popular high-heeled shoes in Billy City, which fully displayed Watini's tall and graceful figure.
Baron Jimmy's intoxicated eyes flashed past, he quickly lowered his head, bowed very respectfully and said.
"Jimmy Town, Jimmy, I've met the third lady!"
Watini nodded slightly, pointed to a public meeting room nearby and said, "What's the matter? I came here in person."
Jimmy gave a small gift without leaving any trace. Inside was a neatly wrapped tube of gold coins, about one hundred coins.
Watini smiled slightly, and the retainer next to her quickly put away the gift.
"Something has happened, and I would like to ask the third lady to make the decision!"
As soon as he entered the interview room, Baron Jimmy said with a sad face.
"oh!"
Watini waved her hand and looked at Baron Jimmy with interest.
"Lord Mero has sent out troops." Baron Jimmy said.
Watini frowned slightly, remembering that Aslan seemed to still be in the city.
"Then what?"
"The Merlot army is very powerful in combat. We have already lost four thousand troops. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid..."
Watini could no longer remain calm. Although she was 90% sure that Baron Jimmy's words were exaggerated, even if this exaggerated number was cut in half, there would still be more than two thousand troops.
The combat effectiveness of the Merlot Army is actually so strong.
When Watini first implemented this plan, she also checked the situation in Merlo Town. After Aslan became the lord of the Merlo area, the population of Merlo Town was indeed increasing. It is said that it has exceeded 10,000 people.
How many troops can there be in a city with a population? One-tenth is only one thousand troops.
How could an army of one thousand defeat two thousand, not counting the other armies of the six lords?
"How many troops does the Merlot Army have?" Vatini said with a cold look.
Baron Jimmy said with a solemn expression.
"I don't know, but there are at least seven to eight hundred troops outside my territory, and I heard that there are thousands of defenders in Merlo Town." Baron Jimmy said bravely.
"The current population of Merlo Town?"
"There should be twenty to thirty thousand." Baron Jimmy said uncertainly.
Hearing this, Watini breathed a sigh of relief. This was within reasonable limits.
"What do you want me to support?" Vatini returned to her original noble and elegant look and asked calmly.
She would not believe that these lords would give up such a large piece of land. The nobles were the largest group of landowners in the Xinuo Continent, and their desire for land was far beyond imagination.
"We only need the third lady's handwritten documents, so that our in-law lord can also send troops to help us defeat Lord Mero."
