The last ones to respond were the Merlots who had migrated from the attack of the six major lords. They had no roots and no sense of belonging, but they understood the attitude of the lords of the Billy region towards the Merlots.
Merlots who were captured were basically enslaved for life.
"Fight for freedom! Fight for Merlot!"
Three types of people, three slogans, this is the existing popular system in Merlo Town.
War is just a continuation of politics, and political struggle is the uneven distribution of spoils.
The middle class, free people, immigrants! It can also be said that landlords, rich peasants, and tenants, tenants who only farm for the lord.
They all have one thing in common, they must live around the ecological chain of Mero Town established by Aslan.
The corners of Aslan's mouth curled up slightly, as he had achieved what he wanted.
He never treats the people with nothing, and he will never give any blank checks. Actual interests are the simplest and most violent way to conquer the people.
As long as the people are well fed and warmly clothed, they will naturally follow their lords wholeheartedly.
Aslan played this perfectly.
Many people in Melo Town began to enlist in the army. This time, Aslan did not set a specified number. He wanted all of them as long as they were of appropriate age. He did not know how long this war would last.
He must do his best to destroy troops.
"Third brother, you should also join the army. It would be nice if your second brother was at home." Old John grabbed the shoulder of his son who had just turned sixteen next to him and said firmly.
Old John's eldest son is now serving in the Merlot Army. Because he became the squad leader, the lord allotted their family another acre of land. In addition to the one acre and one acre of ancestral land that his eldest brother was assigned as a soldier, their family is already
A well-known small landowner in Merlo Town.
The days are getting more and more prosperous. Last month, the eldest brother came home and happened to take a daughter-in-law with the second son.
Their family has three acres of self-cultivated land. In addition to the taxes paid every year, there is also a lot of surplus food. For this wedding, Old John also used the food to exchange for two new sets of clothes with the city lord's mansion for his two daughters-in-law.
I was so happy and the whole family was so happy.
Old John never dared to imagine such a day before.
Before Aslan came to Mero Town, the most important thing he thought about every day was how to find wives for his three sons in the future.
Now there is no need to worry about getting a wife, because there are many women who want to marry into the door of their old John's family.
On the wedding day of the two sons, the lord also sent gifts to express his congratulations.
During that time, old John's family was extremely respectable.
"Father, please don't worry! I will definitely not embarrass our family." George, the third child, nodded seriously and said.
Unlike his father, he greatly admired his eldest brother's majestic military uniform and could raise the sword in his hand to fight for the lord.
There are many such families, especially those where someone is already serving in the military. If the lord had not strongly stipulated that two brothers could not join the military at the same time, it is estimated that these families would have sent all the men in the family to the army.
As for those who are neighbors of military families, they have long been envious of military treatment. However, the number of places in each recruitment is limited, and the requirements for soldiers are also very high, so many people have failed.
Now that they are recruiting troops again, they will naturally not let it go.
Those people who had just immigrated here looked confused when they saw the people from Mero Town enthusiastically signing up to join the army.
When did being a soldier become so popular?
"Fight for Melotown!"
Some young people shouted slogans to join the army. As many young people responded, the recruitment office was quickly overcrowded. Those immigrants who were slow to respond found that they could not squeeze into the recruitment office.
Aslan left the remaining matters to Wilson and Essien, and he went directly to the arsenal in the back mountain, which has the largest blacksmith workshop in Merlo Town. It now has dozens of blacksmiths and nearly a hundred blacksmith apprentices.
More than 90% of the weapons and equipment of the Merlot Army were produced here. Only a few parts that could not be produced by the blacksmith workshop were produced by Aslan using divine magic.
The Merlot crossbow, a powerful weapon that can easily penetrate infantry armor, has the most complex and sophisticated crossbows. Aslan also requested that weapon parts be universal, so the crossbows have never been able to be mass-produced.
Production of Aslan.
Fortunately, the size of the crossbow machine is not large, and it is not a big project for magical objects. Aslan only took half a day to produce five hundred crossbow machines and handed them over to the person in charge of the workshop.
So he got into the heavy weapons workshop.
The so-called heavy weapons workshop does not refer to the heavy weapons used by soldiers, such as two-handed tomahawks, but heavy siege weapons, such as catapults and bed crossbows.
Because there is a humanoid turret profession like magician in Xino Continent, and there are very few cities with city walls, ordinary lords’ wars mostly focus on outdoor decisive battles, while siege battles use magicians as the main attack force. After the city walls are destroyed,
Then hand it over to the army for processing.
This is also the reason why Aslan was able to rise up in the war so quickly in his previous life. He threw catapults and crossbows into the battlefield on a large scale, changing the war pattern of the Sino Continent.
Originally, Aslan did not intend to expose the five-piece bed crossbow so soon, but this time the war did not allow him to hide it anymore.
A five-unit bed crossbow is being assembled in the workshop. Aslan is in charge of the production design. Because of the memory of the past life, the production of the five-unit bed crossbow is faster than expected. This is also thanks to the original furniture factory.
No furniture factory has trained so many excellent carpenters. If you want to successfully produce and assemble a five-piece bed crossbow, the time it takes will need to be doubled.
"Lord! According to your wishes, we are already working hard to produce the five-unit bed crossbow. The other three groups of manpower are already in place. In a week, we should be able to assemble four five-unit bed crossbows."
Kahn, who is in charge of the heavy weapons workshop, said with joy on his face.
The assembly line operation taught by the lord is really good. It not only improves work efficiency, but also saves time.
If we follow the normal working speed in the past, it would take less than two months for a five-unit bed crossbow to be successfully assembled from production to assembly.
"It's not a should, it's a must! A week later, when I go on an expedition, I must see four five-unit bed crossbows." Aslan said in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes! Lord! It's just that these weapons have not been tested in actual combat, and my subordinates are afraid..."
Aslan waved his hand and said: "I know your concerns, but now there is no time to do actual combat experiments. You can only modify and adjust the first bed crossbow as a standard. I can tell you for sure that these bed crossbows have been put into use in Kyoto.
