Chapter 2 2: The Beginning
Outside the city lord's mansion, Aslan's convoy had just stopped. Arthur looked at the empty city lord's mansion, and no one came to welcome the new lord. His face turned cold, and he wanted to shout angrily, but Aslan told him stopped.
"Don't worry, the boats and cars have been tiring for so many days, let the soldiers take a good rest, so as not to be in a bad state when fighting."
A gleam flashed in Arthur's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
This failure and injury made the young master grow a lot.
"Yes! Master!"
The town commander Essien and the head of the guard, Ron De, ran out of the city lord's mansion in a panic, especially Ron De was still smelling of alcohol, obviously just drunk.
In his previous life, Aslan had just traveled over. He was born in a society ruled by law, and he still hated violence. In the end, he just criticized Ronde severely and did not punish Ronde severely, so he left the impression of being weak and deceitful to the townspeople.
In fact, these were deliberately arranged by Claude, just to blow Aslan's prestige. He was confident that no matter how angry Aslan was, he would not dare to persecute their brothers too much.
After all, Claude is the most powerful man in the town, and his younger brother is the head of the town's militia. If the two brothers are pushed into a hurry, there is no guarantee that nothing radical will happen.
After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
After so many years, the people of Merlot town have already understood that the nobles behind the Merlot area have ignored it for decades and have apparently abandoned them. Since the Sarah family exiled Aslan here, There was no plan to keep Aslan alive.
The aristocracy of the Kingdom of Cleveland has always ruled the common people with extreme brutality.
Once the people rebel, the suppression will only become more bloody and brutal.
The surrounding countries are known to be experts in internal fighting and outsiders in external fighting.
If you want to master the town of Melo as quickly as possible, these two brothers must not stay.
The expressionless Aslan passed by the mayor and the head of the guard, which made them stunned, especially Ron De, who originally planned to embarrass the new lord in public, but he didn't expect that Aslan would not Angry, not even fluctuating expressions, and turning a blind eye to them.
It has been three days since Aslan came to Melo town. Apart from occupying the city lord's mansion, after driving the original office staff out of the city lord's mansion, it is still as peaceful and quiet as before, as if no lord has ever settled in.
This made the Claude brothers punch cotton like a punch, and they had nowhere to use their strength.
It wasn't until the 'big shots' in the small town followed up with an invitation card that they all began to think about it.
The City Lord's Mansion is very simple. Because it is a fortress mainly for defense, many facilities are very simple. In order to facilitate the banquet, Aslan asked people to remove the excess furniture in the hall, leaving only the dining table for the banquet.
Due to the limited space, Aslan can't do anything. He can't set up the banquet at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
For this banquet, Aslan racked his brains, took out all the red wine he brought from Kyoto, and prepared a lot of delicious desserts, almost using up most of the food he brought.
But all of this was worth it. Seeing the guests devouring their meals, Aslan couldn't help but shook his head. Even the 'big shots' in the town lived in such an isolated town all the year round. After all, their knowledge was too poor.
"This bunch of bumpkins."
An untimely voice suddenly sounded from the side. Although the voice was very small, it was still heard by Aslan.
The person who spoke was Lancelot, the youngest knight in the Aslan Knight Guards. He came from a poor background. He was very unpopular among the knight groups in Kyoto, especially because there were not enough good resources for him to grow up. The speed is extremely slow, the strength has been tepid, and the young man has no combat experience.
In the Knight Guards, the strength has always been at the bottom of the crane.
Such an unremarkable person, only Aslan knows how far this sunny boy will grow as time goes by.
Lancelot was born to be a ruthless person. For a long time to come, he would be Aslan's secret sword, and he would be Aslan's right hand and right hand man all the time to clean up his shady affairs.
When Aslan was in distress, he did not show his ambition by death like Arthur, but escaped with Aslan's family immediately, leaving a little incense for Aslan.
Compared with Arthur's foolish loyalty, Aslan appreciates Lancelot's flexibility more.
"I don't want to hear words like that again."
Aslan raised the wine glass in his hand and said indifferently.
Lancelot, who was forced to follow Aslan, instantly revived his unwilling and desperate heart.
Lancelot, who has risen from the bottom of society, has a much better understanding of human nature than veteran knights like Arthur. From Aslan's indifferent tone, he can hear a kind of confidence, a kind of absolute confidence in the situation. Confidence in control.
"Listen to my orders later." After finishing speaking, Aslan walked towards Ronde holding a goblet.
Ron De, who was eating greasy mouth, saw Aslan approaching, wiped his hands quickly, and wanted to say hello to Aslan.
"Kill him." Aslan's icy voice rang in Lancelot's ear, he was only slightly taken aback, and then broke out with the fastest speed he had ever seen, and stabbed the sword into Rondo's chest.
Ronde watched Lancelot's long sword stab into his chest with a look of astonishment and horror. Before he could call for help, he was pierced by Lancelot's sword. Crowe, who had been paying attention to Aslan, Seeing this scene, De's face changed drastically. He immediately thought of several possibilities without any hesitation, let alone reasoning with Aslan, but prepared to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Unfortunately, he was blocked by Arthur who had been staring at him.
Aslan quickly threw a dagger in front of Ronde, and shouted loudly.
"Bold, dare to assassinate this lord."
The shocked people subconsciously widened their eyes, but they all accepted the reason. After all, since Aslan entered the territory, he has not issued any government orders. He has always focused on recuperating his injuries. He did not officially appear in public until today. And that's what happened.
If it was someone else, they would be suspicious, but everyone took it for granted that Brother Ronde did such a thing.
For a long time, this pair of brothers had been ambitious and wanted to rule the entire town of Melo, but they had been boycotted by others. Even so, the two brothers had been suppressing the Zhenling faction with their powerful force.
The most important thing is that these two brothers have a criminal record. They once assassinated a lord, which scared the lord to crawl out of the small town of Melo.
