Chapter 70: Chapter 70

"You think these lords are afraid of the Kaimen Bandit Group, no, they are afraid of the mysterious presence of the Kaimen Bandit Group. If you hit them, you will run away, but you can't catch them, but Xiao Jiu is different. He has a territory and can run like a priest. , can’t escape the monastery, as long as we get our support, unless Xiao Jiu is willing to dedicate the entire Melo area to the teacher, otherwise he will never complain to the teacher, this is the rule of the game among nobles.”

Qatar understood immediately.

"Those lords have actually been eyeing the Melo region for a long time, but they can't find a reason to make a move."

"So let's give them a reason!" Vatini gave Qatar a deep look, and said nothing.

Qatar sat there thoughtfully, holding the teacup in his hand in a raised posture, until the tea tilted and overflowed unconsciously, and he suddenly woke up.

"Sorry! I'm sorry." Qatar said quickly.

Watini waved her hand indifferently, and started to read the book by herself. Qatar had already gotten used to Watini's habit, sitting quietly and calculating the magic model.

From time to time, the two teacups are filled.

The summer wind blows gently, and a pair of beautiful women sit opposite each other and study like a poem.

The border between the Merlot region and the Belgian region.

There is only one river at the junction of the two places, named Meili River. The river is about ten meters wide and less than two meters deep. Playing with water.

On the north side of the Meili River is the Jimmy Town of Baron Jimmy in the Billy area. Jimmy Town has a large scale, with a preliminary estimate of 10,000 to 20,000 people. It is surrounded by thousands of acres of fertile fields. There is greenery in the eyes, and the town is full of smoke and people. .

Compared with the prosperity of Jimmy Town, the southern part of the Meili River is very different from this.

There is a whole rocky beach connected to the south of the Meili River, and the area of ​​the rocky beach is hundreds of acres.

It is only a few kilometers away from the rocky beach to the south to see the land. It is only a few kilometers away from the river bank, but the land is barren beyond imagination. It is obviously land, but there are only a few weeds growing here and there, not far away. There is also a small forest.

The plum poplar tree that is unique to the Merlot area grows. The plum poplar tree is a new species that evolved after being subjected to a magic spell in the Merlot area. All the trees are plum poplars.

But this piece of plum poplar forest has been cut down in sevens and eights, leaving only a few sporadic and relatively small plum poplar trees standing strong.

A few hundred meters away from the plum poplar forest, there is a small village with hundreds of people. This village is called Meiyang Village, named after the plum poplar forest next to it. Compared with the wealth of Jimmy Town on the other side of the river, this village looks very dilapidated.

Many people were scantily clad, sallow and thin. It was obvious that life was not going well, but no one wanted to go to Jimmy Town on the other side of the river.

The reason is very simple. Baron Jimmy on the other side of the river is a very cruel and harsh lord, and he discriminates against people in the Merlot area. It is impossible to join them and become a citizen of Jimmy Town. Being a slave is their only s Choice.

The most important thing is that they have been slaves for generations, and there is no possibility of turning over, so even if people in the village are starved to death every year, they will not defect to Jimmy Town.

It doesn't matter if parents become slaves. Many people are willing to sacrifice themselves for their children so that their children can have enough to eat. But if their children and grandchildren are to become slaves, many people would rather starve to death.

This is the general characteristic of Merlot people.

They have lived in harsh environments for many years, which has created their tenacity and indomitable character.

As the saying goes, troublemakers come out of poor mountains and bad waters.

In addition to planing food in the fields, the people of Meiyang Village occasionally act as road bandits and bullies.

For example, when the grain harvest in Jimmy Town was about to be harvested, I took someone to touch it in the middle of the night, and secretly harvested a batch of grain and returned.

This has become the biggest source of food for the villagers of Meiyang. As for the revenge of Jimmy Town, they never cared about it. They arranged for their families to leave before they left. It doesn't hurt to be burned.

On this day, the villagers of Meiyang should be fishing, hunting and farming.

As for the food in the field, they mainly use poplar cassava, which is an associated product of plum poplar.

Poplar cassava has excellent characteristics such as rough growth, easy cultivation, high yield and four-season harvesting. The only disadvantage is that it must be produced together with plum poplar. If the distance is too far, it cannot absorb the nutrients of plum poplar and cannot survive.

Therefore, the yield of poplar cassava is high, but it relies too much on plum poplar, and the plum poplar village has not mastered its planting technology, so the plum poplar forest on the side was ruined like that by the villagers' planting experiments.

Today, Rondore, as usual, went to the plum poplar grove to look at the fields, and stood guard by the way to observe Jimmy Town on the other side of the river. What they were most worried about was not the robbers and bandits, because they were too poor to rob. The only thing they worried about was the army in Jimmy Town Come and hunt them down.

The largest plum poplar tree in the north of the plum poplar grove has existed for many years. Rondoer has stood here since he was a child. According to his father, it had existed when they moved here.

Rondore climbed up the tree skillfully. He didn't wait and see the surrounding environment for the first time. Instead, he fixed the plank on the big branch and sat on it lazily, but he almost jumped up the next moment.

He saw groups of soldiers wearing Jimmy Town uniforms crossing the river, among which hundreds of troops had already disembarked and were resting under the command of officers.

"enemy?"

Without any hesitation, Rondore slid down the tree trunk for a while, then jumped to the nearest branch, and then jumped forward. The second his feet touched the ground, his body leaned forward, rolled on the ground and flew into the village run away.

The whole movement was done in one go, and it took less than five seconds.

"Enemy attack! Jimmy Town has sent troops."

As soon as he entered the village, Rondore yelled loudly. Many women who were still holding things in their hands immediately threw away the things in their hands, pulled up the children at home and ran away, and the men quickly found out all the food in the house. Packed and ready to go.

This series of familiar actions and orderly large-scale movements showed that these people were not doing this for the first time.

Rondore's father held him back and asked in surprise, "Are you reading correctly? There is still more than half a month before the grain harvest. Jimmy Town has no reason to send troops to drive people away?"

Rondore said firmly: "There is absolutely no mistake. When I returned to the village, an army had already crossed the river. It is estimated that they are coming to the village now."

Simya nodded, and began to direct the villagers to evacuate at a faster speed, and from time to time helped those villagers with slower hands and feet.
