Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Ancient Ruins

During the slack hours in the town of Melo, they have to undergo short military basic training, because during the training, the lord's mansion is also responsible for three meals, so during the slack, many men who are at home will go to the military training, which can save money for the family. One day's rations, and by the way, you can also eat meat.

Now that life is better, the people are naturally grateful to Aslan. Although they have to pay taxes, they still have a lot of surplus food after paying taxes. Compared with the days when they didn't pay taxes and couldn't eat enough, what is more important, fool Can also tell the difference.

But someone wants to assassinate their great and benevolent lord and destroy the hope and future of their small town of Melo, this is absolutely not allowed.

So not only the Melo army was dispatched, more than 300 members of the town guard also appeared in the streets and alleys of Melo town in full dress, and many citizens also consciously formed teams of 20 to join in the search.

Although Najie was lucky enough to rush into the forest relying on his familiarity with the terrain, seeing the densely packed crowd holding torches entering the forest to search made him feel a little terrified.

Covering his wound, he hid in a tree hole. These "small bases" he discovered while playing in the forest when he was a child, in order to enjoy this secret, he blocked them with stones. It was no use expecting that when he grew up, he would successfully save him. Life.

After searching for nothing all night, Arthur returned to the small town of Melo with the people and soldiers full of resentment.

Aslan was already in front of the city lord's mansion, and had someone cook the vegetable paste, which is a breakfast made of dried bract fruit and ground into flour, with some minced meat and vegetables added, the taste is a bit like the lean meat porridge from his previous life. It's Avelan's favorite breakfast.

"My lord! This subordinate neglected his duty and let the assassin run away." Arthur knelt down on one knee and said when he saw Aslan walking over with a bowl of vegetable paste.

Aslan smiled and helped Arthur up.

"Not as an example, this time the assassin was able to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion so easily, it's not your problem, but the City Lord's Mansion itself has too many defense loopholes."

"It's been a hard night, let's eat something first!"

Arthur knew from the beginning that they were just acting, so he deliberately let Najie go, but he was still moved by Aslan's consideration for his subordinates.

"Citizens, thank you very much for your help last night. Let's have something to eat first, and then go back and have a good rest!" Aslan asked the maid of the Lord's Mansion to serve bowls of breakfast to the soldiers and people who had worked hard all night.

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

Aslan nodded with a smile. In his previous life, he loved the people like a son and became a powerful minister. After his rebirth, he played this trick even more easily.

The reason why he said the defensive loopholes of the city lord's mansion is that he dislikes the city lord's mansion too small and lacks many facilities. He wants to rebuild a lord's mansion, but that would be too laborious and wasteful, and he is afraid of causing resentment among the people in the territory, so he must get the support of the people. It would be much easier for him to build that way.

To put it simply, Aslan wanted to be a whore and wanted to set up a memorial archway.

The assassination incident that night did not panic the people in the town of Melo, on the contrary, it united everyone's minds together.

After breakfast, many people chatted with each other and left together.

"Our lord, it's so kind. Thinking about the days when the lord didn't come, we were simply not human." Villager Hilding said.

Hilding is an old resident of the small town of Melo. He used to be able to eat enough for two meals, thank God, but there is a good day like today, where he can eat three meals a day, and there is still surplus food that can be sold for money.

"Yeah! So we must protect the lord, and we must not let him get hurt. In case a bad lord is exchanged next time, maybe we will go back to the original life."

Mitt is Hilding's neighbor, after hearing Hilding's words, he nodded in agreement.

When Karl, an old man in his fifties, heard this, he slapped the two of them on the head.

"What about changing the lord? Lord Aslan will always be the lord of our Melo area. In the future, the son of the lord will also be our lord. Everyone should pay attention to it in the future. Any stranger who comes to the town must keep an eye on it." , to avoid such a thing from happening again." Carl said with a serious expression.

After Hilding and Mitter heard this, they nodded in unison. Not only them, but also the young and middle-aged men next to them. Everyone unknowingly formed a patrol team to be responsible for the town guards. One light and one dark invisibly strengthened the security work in the small town of Melo.

Less than fifty kilometers away from the small town of Melo, there is a secret stronghold hidden, which is the base camp of the Kaimen Bandit Group.

This stronghold is located in a remote place, far away from official roads. In the past, the town of Melo was so poor that no one would pass by. Therefore, the Kaimen Bandit Group will be their base camp, which is naturally safer.

But it is different now. After Aslan took over the town of Merlot, the population has increased recently, and the business atmosphere has become more and more intense. Many businessmen have also started to come and go to the town of Merlot, making this rare official road active.

When there are too many people, accidents are easy to happen. Several passers-by have already accidentally arrived at the gate of the base camp of the Kaimen Bandit Group, and the fate is self-evident.

"Cut! There are too many people who broke in by mistake." A man with a scar on his face spat and said viciously.

Not far away lay a dead body, which seemed to be a passerby.

"That's right! The new lord is really capable. He has revived the half-dead town of Melo in just half a year." The companion sighed.

"Hmm! Someone is coming." The man with the scar suddenly tightened his expression, and another companion quickly pulled out his dagger and hid in the grove, ready to block the retreat of the approacher at any time.

"Brother Rhea, take me to see the boss quickly, I have something important to report." Najie ran over staggeringly, clutching his blood-stained shoulder, his face pale.

It might be because of excessive blood loss. When Najie ran here, he was almost unable to support him, or it was because hatred was supporting him. Before he fainted, he only said one sentence.

"Ancient ruins!"

The amount of information contained in Najie's words is very large, and before he has figured out the situation, even Kaimen, the leader of thousands of bandits and bandits, dare not act rashly.

As a result, the soldiers in an ambush in Melo Town squatted for three days in vain, but bought time for all the barbarian soldiers to change their outfits.

Barbarian warriors wear heavy armor, which is twice as heavy as knight armor, but its defense power is more than three times higher. This kind of armor can only be worn by barbarian warriors, and they must reach the strength of intermediate swordsmen. Can not affect the battle.
