Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Armored Bandits
Seeing Le Anning's body in heavy armor standing like a humanoid tank, Aslan smiled and asked someone to send over a two-meter-long two-handed sword.
After waving the big sword with both hands a few times, Leaning laughed excitedly.
"Haha, my lord, this great sword is not bad."
After hearing this, Aslan rolled his eyes. This is a high-level weapon, and it was carved with sharp runes by Aslan. Ordinary weapons can't withstand the attack of a big sword at all.
"The battle in the next few days may be very hard, and I will trouble you when the time comes, for the future of Melo." Aslan said earnestly.
Le Anning also nodded firmly. After moving into the small town of Melo, he really fell in love with this small town. Although there were some estrangements from ordinary people at first, and there were quite a few conflicts, they were all given by Aslan. solved.
Now they are slowly living with ordinary people. As Aslan said, in fact, compared with ordinary people, they are only a little stronger and bigger in stature, but they all belong to people, and they also need to eat and drink.
"My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely use the great sword in their hands to teach them how to behave." Lai Anning said confidently.
"It's just that the cubs still don't know who the enemy is? I feel a little uneasy."
Aslan couldn't help laughing, this Laianning is really a fine person, rough but fine.
"Armor Gate Bandits."
Hearing the Kaimen bandit group, Leaning's eyes lit up, he had long wanted to meet them.
There are two evils in the Melo area, namely the barbarian group and the armored bandit group. Now that the barbarian group has belonged to the town of Melo, only the last victim of the Kaimen Bandit Group remains.
"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will live up to expectations."
Aslan waved his hand indifferently. In this battle, he did his mental calculations but he was completely sure of taking down the Armored Bandits.
"In this battle, I am fully confident that I will wipe out the Kaimen Bandit Group. What I am concerned about now is how much have you persuaded the other barbarian groups living in the Melo area? If you want to really develop the Melo area, you barbarians will be able to do so. Strength is essential."
After thinking for a moment, Laianning scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
"Lord, let me tell the truth! The group I lead was kicked out, that's why they settled so close to ordinary people."
"Kicked out?" Aslan was surprised.
"This is normal. In the mountains, food and animals are limited, and it is impossible to support so many people. Every once in a while, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled will be driven out. Because I was not convinced, I took a dozen brothers from the family to the house. Take all the old, weak, women and children out." When Le Anning mentioned this matter, his tone was a bit harsh.
Aslan didn't know about this in his previous life. In his previous life, Laianning gathered a lot of barbarians who were driven out from the mountains. Although most of them were old and weak, women and children, they were still much better than ordinary people. After the bandit group fell, it was Aslan's confidant for a long time.
It wasn't until Aslan carried out the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields of Laianning Village, blocking their food sources, that they finally forced them to surrender.
Aslan remembered that the population of Leaning Village at that time was already over a thousand.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you sincerely join the town of Melo, the lord will not mind." Aslan said without thinking.
An old house where a treasure.
Although these old barbarians may lose their combat effectiveness, they can live to old age, which is enough to prove that they were powerful fighters when they were young.
Among the barbarians, only the mightiest warriors survive to the end.
Moreover, having these old people at home can make the barbarians outside feel more of a sense of belonging, and having the fetters of a family will make them more loyal.
Hearing Aslan's words, Leaning knelt down on one knee and clenched his right fist in front of his chest. This is a common gesture of loyalty in mainland China.
"When the battle is over, go pick them up!" Aslan patted Le Anning on the shoulder, turned and left.
Laianning was both excited and ashamed.
During this period of time, he took in many old, young, women and children who were kicked out in the original Laianning Village, and he consumed a lot of food every day. It turned out that the lord knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't care about it.
Lai Anning was also worried that if they were old, young, women and children, they would be rejected if they couldn't work or fight.
Immediately, he asked his men to go to Laianning Village to bring them over, then turned to look for the Essien Town Order, and asked for some land for their family to cultivate.
Although they are not as good as ordinary people in farming the land, it doesn't mean they don't know how to do it. During this period of time, he has been to Laianning Village several times and saw that the old people in the village are also learning how to farm.
At that time, his teacher, Teyes, the great swordsman who was once well-known among the barbarian warriors, said a word to him.
"He is no longer able to fight, but there is still no problem in farming, but in the mountains, there is too little land suitable for farming."
After Aslan learned of this, he didn't pay much attention to it, so he asked Essien to agree. When he subdued Laianning in his previous life, his Laianning village planted a large area of land for grain. Ordinary people are lower, but they can barely support them.
Most importantly, Aslan remembered that among those old guys, there were several old guys at the level of great sword masters.
Although he is old and lacks energy and blood, he cannot display his full strength, but there is no problem at all in bursting out the sword master's strength in a short period of time.
Especially in a big crisis in the previous life, Aslan almost died, but was rescued by these old guys. One of them actually broke through to the level of swordsman mentor at a critical moment. Guardian of the territory.
This is also the reason why Aslan has always been so lenient to the barbarians.
In the previous life, the barbarians helped Aslan too much.
In three days, Aslan's knight guards and Melo's army were all dressed up. The knight guards were still the Kyoto-style knight armor suits, but these armors were blessed with strong runes, and their defense power was more than doubled.
The armor of the Melo army is mainly plate armor. Although it does not look as gorgeous as the armor of the knights, the defensive power is still not to be underestimated.
It's a pity that there are no steel ingots in this world, otherwise the weapons and armor forged with steel would be better.
It's a pity that the current blacksmith shop in Melo Town is too small to meet the needs of the army itself, and it takes many blacksmith workers to work overtime to complete it.
As for the study of steel forging method, Aslan has not considered it yet.
On the fifth day, when even Aslan was a little slack, scouts came to report that a large army surrounded him.
"Number? Scale? Where does the enemy force belong?"
Aslan excitedly stood up from the chief seat, and asked as he walked.
"About 800 people! It's the Kaimen bandit group, and the leader is Kaimen." The scout said without thinking.
