Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Reserve Forces

The incident of respecting the Tao also happened in the previous life, and it broke out a year and a half earlier than the previous life.

Because at that time, Aslan had just led the Merlot region to complete its rise.

At that time, he was not the disciple of the Marquis of Medea, and the party involved in the conflict was not the governor of Jacksu. Due to the powerful strength of the Marquis of Medea, Aslan simply admitted his cowardice.

Now events are completely different.

The Marquis of Medea is his teacher, and he will definitely stand by his side regardless of the general principle. Therefore, the only thing Aslan has to do is to change the general direction of the incident.

Thereby diverting the attention of the nobles in the Belgian region.

Aslan took a deep breath, slammed the table, shook off his coat, and went to the bedroom.

Essien and Wilxin glanced at each other, with a nervous look on their faces.

After a while, Aslan in full uniform came out, shocking Wilson and Essien.

"My lord, please don't be impulsive."

Essien and Wilson knelt down in front of Aslan one after another, blocking Aslan's way.

Aslan looked at the two old men kneeling on the ground in front of him, sighed and said, "This matter is not up to me, let the people decide!"

Essien and Wilson looked at each other in confusion.

What does your lord mean by this sentence?

"Ring the big bell. I have something to say, and I will inform all the officers in the city to come here." Aslan said to Boss outside the door.

"yes!"

Boss doesn't think about it that much, he will do whatever the lord tells him to do!

The bell at the top of the City Lord's Mansion rang continuously, and many people quickly put down their work and went to the City Lord's Mansion. Soon tens of thousands of people gathered outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Concas brought family members to watch, only to see that her precious daughter had already put on the uniform and armor of the Valkyrie Army, and followed the female soldiers to maintain order on the scene.

Aslan stood in front of the terrace in military uniform, his face was more serious than ever, and he put his hands on the railing of the terrace.

"I just got the news that some people in Max Town accidentally blocked Governor Jacksu's way. Governor Jacksu wanted to hang them."

There was an uproar in the square, but many people fell silent and looked at the man on the terrace.

"Both Essien and Wilson persuaded me not to intervene and pretend to be deaf and dumb, just so as not to drag the Melo region into the vortex of war. This is indeed the best choice for the entire Melo region."

Aslan's voice was slightly hoarse, but it gave people an unprecedented shock.

"I have also thought about it again and again, whether it is worth doing this for a few ordinary citizens."

"Until just now, I figured out one thing. These are not just a few citizens. If I really give up on them, it will be easier to give up when I face ten, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of people in the future."

This sentence made the whole square silent, and Wilson and Essien were also silent.

They are indeed for the good of the Melo region, but it is also very likely that they will change the lord who has always loved the people like his son.

When the citizens can abandon them at will, is Aslan still the Aslan who loves the people like a son?

Everyone was lost in thought, because no one hoped that he would be the one who was abandoned.

"So I decided to go to Billy City and try my best to save them. This may drag the entire Melo region into the quagmire of war. I hope the people can forgive me."

Aslan finished speaking and bowed deeply.

Concas was shocked, he rubbed his eyes subconsciously, is the lord going crazy?

For the lives of a few untouchables, a war will be waged with the Kerks region.

A child of the martyrs stepped out of the crowd, fists clenched, and yelled at Aslan on the terrace.

"No retreat!"

This gesture, this tone of voice.

Reminds many of Aslan of the battle at Mellie River.

At that time, the reason for Aslan's war was to bring back the people who were taken away by the Belgian region for the people who were not citizens.

The lord never abandoned them.

What reason do they have to abandon the lord.

"No retreat!"

A disabled veteran of the Battle of Merlie stood up and shouted.

"No retreat!"

Soon, this 'no retreat! ’ Slowly spread throughout the square.

Both men, women and children are shouting.

"Thanks!"

"The whole army is ready for battle. All the troops put on their equipment and follow me to Billy City." Aslan shouted loudly, shook the cloak behind his back vigorously, turned and left gracefully.

The people in the square quickly dispersed, especially some men who had joined the militia, and quickly ran to the street where they were located to report, and then collectively ran to the militia training camp.

The militiamen are farmers on weekdays, but they need to spare two hours a day to participate in training and practice combat skills.

Because in the future, when each army recruits troops, it will give priority to selecting from the militia.

To put it simply, it is the reserve force. Once there is a war, the militia can also be quickly called into the army, and then the veterans of the active forces can be dispatched to the reserve department to serve as officers, so that a combat-capable force can be quickly pulled out.

Aslan wanted to pull all the troops in the Melo region to Billy City, not to attack the city, but to show his strength to the Marquis of Medea and Governor Jacksu.

He wanted the Marquis of Medea to understand that the Melo region would definitely be the key to her defeating the Kex region in the future, and at the same time let Governor Jacksu understand that Aslan had the power to change the situation of the two sides.

When Aslan came out of the city lord's mansion, apart from forty knight guards, the first troops gathered around him were the Valkyrie troops.

The soldiers of the city defense army had to go one step further.

Aslan nodded to Ashley, Ashley waved excitedly, and the whole army boarded the military vehicle.

Today, more than half of the road from Merlot Town to Billy City has been converted into concrete roads. The roads are wide and flat, and are most suitable for carriages.

Therefore, in order to ensure the mobility of troops in various towns, the Melo area has been equipped with a large number of troop carriages.

This kind of carriage is mainly used for drawing horses. The carriage is seven meters long and three meters wide. Its shape is similar to that of a dump truck. There are a row of wooden benches on each side for the soldiers to ride on. In the middle, supplies and equipment can be placed. .

At most, forty soldiers can be transported at one go, because the horse-drawn cart is used. Although sufficient strength is guaranteed, the speed is not as fast as that of a war horse. The speed is about 50 kilometers per hour.

Aslan got on his horse and said to Ashley and Willick, "I'll start first, and you all rush to Billy City as quickly as possible."

"Yes! Your lord."

As soon as Aslan left, Concas and Valentine chased the remaining 20 or so knights in the family to Aslan.

"My lord! Our brothers invite you to fight!"
