Chapter 14: Chapter 14

"What's their business here?" Aslan narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that guy Jimmy would set his mind on him so soon.

In his previous life, when the town of Merlot was just getting better, he came to play the autumn wind, and he especially liked to buy the grain in the town of Merlot at a low price. At that time, Aslan's army had just been established, and he was powerless to resist. Naturally, he could only grit his teeth and accept Baron Jimmy's offer. exploit.

It's a pity that this life is completely different. Except for his knight guards, the size of the town guards has been kept at about 300 people. Adding nearly 100 barbarian warriors, Aslan has more than 500 combatable soldiers in his hands. Not counting the Melo Army in training.

Today's Merlot Town is still not the opponent of Jimmy Town, but with such a huge military force, before Jimmy Town wants to take advantage of Merlo Town, it must consider whether it is worthwhile to do so.

"Interesting, let Willick get ready, let's meet the messenger." After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Aslan said casually.

Baron Jimmy is a typical bully. He is good at developing agriculture, but he is a little unsightly in military affairs. Although the territory has a thousand-man army, there are less than 300 soldiers who can really fight, and the rest are poorly equipped. Farmer, even the daily training is not done.

Caron proudly entered the city lord's mansion, which was so shabby that it couldn't be more shabby. At first, he wanted to mock the shabbyness of the city lord's mansion, but then he was shocked by the gorgeous and exquisite furniture in the city lord's mansion.

These pieces of furniture are simple in shape, neat in carving lines, exquisite in workmanship, and polished brightly. Any piece of furniture is more exquisite and beautiful than the main seat of the lord. luxury.

This is an essential luxury, not a luxury decorated with precious stones.

"I heard that the lord of Merlot Town came from Kyoto. It seems to be true. Except for the nobles who came from Kyoto, how can they use such precious furniture?"

Caron's heart was awe-inspiring. It seemed that the task this time was not easy.

Soon, he saw hundreds of soldiers approaching the city lord's mansion aggressively, which made his heart thump.

Especially the leader, Le Anning, who has seen it before and is known as the most powerful barbarian warrior in the Melo area.

"Could it be that this lord has completely subdued the entire Leaning tribe." Thinking of this question, Caron couldn't help turning pale.

If this is the case, then the task Baron Jimmy entrusted to him is undoubtedly similar to sending him to death.

After the town guards surrounded the city lord's mansion layer by layer, Aslan arrived late with the knight guards armed to the teeth.

Compared with the large number of people in the Town Guard, the Knight Guard can only be described as the elite of the elite. All of them are equipped with the existing intermediate standard equipment that Aslan can touch, shining brightly in the sun.

Aslan walked into the hall in an orderly manner, and slowly sat on the main seat. The maid brought two cups of black tea, but Aslan just said "Please!" and drank tea by himself to rest.

After staying in the training ground for a long time, I almost shouted that my voice was hoarse, so I should take a good rest. After the recruit training, I just need to show my existence, and I will leave the training to the Knight Guards.

There was a strange silence in the hall. Aslan was drinking tea leisurely, while Caron fidgeted and looked at the heavily armed knights around him. Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Lord Sarah! I am representing Baron Jimmy." Come to visit you."

"And then?" Aslan asked without raising his head.

Caron was choked immediately, and wanted to say that the routine should not be like this. Shouldn't you ask me why I came here to visit?

"Our lord wants to purchase a batch of grain from your territory." Caron said extremely aggrieved.

"Oh! That's it!" Aslan said with a smile on his face after drinking the black tea in his cup.

"I'm really sorry, I can't help your lord anymore, see off!"

Caron didn't even have a reaction, and the knights of the knight guard held his hands and carried him directly out of the city lord's mansion.

It wasn't until he was thrown out the door that Caron realized that Lord Sara must be crazy!

"Do you know what you are doing! Do you want to start a war?" Caron shouted angrily.

The long sword at Lancelot's waist was pulled out suddenly, and it was placed on Caron's neck.

"Let's go to war! My Melo Army will accompany you at any time! Go back and tell your lord that 20,000 people seem like a lot, and they can all be killed within ten days at most."

Caron's body began to tremble, he just heard something! The opponent is going to massacre the city.

Are all the lords from Kyoto crazy?

"Okay! You just wait for me." Caron didn't forget his identity, and fled away in embarrassment after saying a harsh word.

As he fled, his men were released, stripped of their armor and weapons, and they were even more robbers than robbers.

On the way, Caron asked a lot of people in the Melo area and got a very scary piece of information.

This Lord Sara was a complete tyrant. He had slaughtered several villages within half a year after arriving in the Melo region, killing hundreds or even thousands of people.

And he was very happy, and he was aggressive, and his army only had a few thousand people, but the army was almost over a thousand.

After Karon got the news, his body trembled even more. He didn't expect their neighbor to be so terrifying.

"We must report to the lord as soon as possible, so that the territory can prepare early."

The news Karon got was indeed from the villagers in the Melo area, but it was a bit exaggerated. The massacre of the village never happened at all, but some villages took refuge in the town of Melo.

The villagers were thought to have slaughtered the village when they went to Loukong, and it was impossible for thousands of people to be killed. During this period, Aslan suppressed many small bandits and village tyrants, killing hundreds of people.

It's just that it became a thousand people because of false rumors. As for thousands of troops, this is true, but five hundred of them are construction corps. Although they are also in the army, what they use is not weapons, but tools. It is to work with a salary, but it belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, so it is called the Construction Corps.

Their main task is to build roads and reclaim wasteland.

Aslan never expected that after Caron's mission this time, he completely changed Jimmy's attitude towards the town of Melo, and even spread the name of Melo's tyrant throughout the entire Melo area, and even several surrounding areas. .

Three days later, Aslan set off for Billy City ahead of schedule, not because he wanted to go, but because he couldn't.

The money bank in the small town of Melo is about to run out of rats.

During this period of time, there was only expenditure but no income, and there was more than a month before the next tax payment. It was far from quenching the thirst, so Aslan planned to set off for Billy City to purchase a batch of iron ore and salt.
