Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Assassination List
Simya hurriedly stopped Minnie's words, feeling that her words were a bit exaggerated, and said to Annie: "You say?"
Minnie was immediately upset, because her father didn't trust her.
"For those of us who still have a home to return to, the lord sent an army to escort us home, and said that we can go to him if we are in trouble or can't survive." After Annie finished speaking, her eyes could not help but reveal a look of longing.
The two days in Mellow Town were definitely the happiest days in her life. She had a warm bed to sleep in, and she could eat enough food every day. Everyone there had a happy expression on their faces.
"How many troops does Lord Melo have?" Simya became vigilant when he heard that the army was sent to escort them home.
Annie shook her head. On the first day, she was still in despair and bewilderment, and she didn't pay attention to how many troops there were in Merlot Town.
Minnie raised her hand excitedly.
"I know this, I have roughly counted."
Simya's eyes lit up, and even other people surrounded him curiously. After all, he was the nominal lord of this area, but it was different from the name of Baron Jimmy.
"The city defense army has about five or six hundred people, and the Melo army has four or five hundred people. The Melo army is to escort us back. There is also a thousand-man construction corps. This is what I heard. By the way, I also read When it comes to the army of barbarian warriors, the number is not large, and there are hundreds of people."
The more Mei Ni said, the colder Simya's heart became.
Two or three thousand troops!
There are several times more people than their whole village.
"What about the population? How is the town of Melo now?" Rondore asked curiously.
He remembered that once when he was very young, although there were not many people, the houses there were too beautiful, especially the castle in the center of the town, which was the biggest house he had ever seen in his life.
"A lot. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people. As for the town, I don't know. I didn't go in at that time." Mei Ni said with a look of regret.
Mei Ni began to talk about what she saw and heard in Mellow Town, and many people showed envy when she talked.
Such a scene happened all over the Melo area. As for the six Billy lords who invaded the Melo area, they encountered resistance of varying sizes.
One of them, Viscount Hillman, was the most unlucky, because there happened to be four infantry squads of the Melo army in the area he occupied, plus the people in that area who were unwilling to be expelled, they jointly defeated Viscount Hillman's army that entered the Melo area. Throw away your helmet and armor and escape from the Melo area.
The vanguard of 500 people returned less than 200 people, and the rest were all killed on the spot. Viscount Hillman was so distressed that he couldn't speak.
He only had a thousand private troops, and he lost one-third of them all at once, so he didn't feel distressed.
This is not just the army, but also the young and strong labor force.
It was just a preliminary test. The six lords lost seven to eight hundred soldiers together, so they had to stop the invasion and prepare to study the countermeasures together.
Upon the news that the six lords in the Billy region had invaded the Melo region, Essien immediately asked Alfonso to go to Billy City with an urgent letter.
When Aslan received Essien's letter, two days later, he asked Kruse to leave for the Rocky Mountains, and the time was ripe.
"Gao Wen, you and Alfonso will go back to Melo Town immediately, prepare the army for battle, and take Baron Jimmy in the first battle."
Before leaving, Aslan gave Gawain a combat order.
The reason why Baron Jimmy was chosen to fight was because of Aslan's experience in fighting Baron Jimmy in his previous life.
Among the six lords, the largest army is Baron Jimmy, with an army of 2,500 people, but his combat power is the weakest among the six lords. It is only a few hundred people that can be regarded as an army.
As long as those hundreds of main forces are killed, more than 70% to 80% of the remaining troops will surrender directly.
When attacking Jimmy Town in the previous life, after defeating the main force of Jimmy's army, the rest of the army surrendered. The army marched into Jimmy Town, and thousands of slaves surrendered.
Compared with other lords, more than 30% of the population of Jimmy Town is slaves. Because of the huge number, Baron Jimmy did not implement slave contracts for all slaves.
After all, he is not a magician, and it is simply impossible to sign a slave contract for everyone.
Therefore, if you attack Baron Jimmy, as long as you can defeat the opponent, you will definitely get a population gift package, which can also hit the morale of these lords.
"Lancelot caught those mice out according to the method I gave you."
After Aslan finished speaking, he sat quietly at his desk, using the Chinese from his previous life, to draw out the characters who were assassinated in Black June.
Eighty percent of them are the heads of the major families in the city of Billy. These people are the backbone of the entire Billy region, and together with the Marquis of Medea, they form the ruling class of the Billy region.
Once these people are assassinated, their families will definitely be in chaos, and then under the guidance of those with a heart, it is easy to choose extreme wars. At that time, no matter how high the prestige of the Marquis of Medea is, they will not be able to stop it.
"The first person to be assassinated was Elliston Rollin, the chief executive of Billy City. His family controlled one-third of the officials in the city hall and 80% of the food business in the city."
Aslan rubbed his temples and began to analyze the pros and cons. This Elliston can effectively restrain Vatini's power in the city hall, preventing her from doing whatever she wants. The most important thing is that there are still people in her family who are Vatini's loyal followers. .
"Elliston must be saved!"
Aslan ticked Elliston's name.
The next name made Aslan's face a little complicated.
Earl Uther Pendragon of Billy City, the current chief of the city defense force, he also has a well-known name in Billy City, the strongest knight under the Marquis of Medea.
The only great knight commander in Billy City, but what really made Aslan's face complicated was Uther's daughter and Aslan's real wife Arturia Pendragon in her previous life.
In the previous life, Aslan and Arturia were purely political marriages, using the strong influence of the Melo region to consolidate the family's position in Billy City.
For Artoria, Aslan's feelings are very complicated.
This is a serious character, loyal and upright, with the honor and pride of being a knight.
He also has a high degree of self-esteem, has a strong personality and refuses to admit defeat, and will be keen on winning and losing competitions while ignoring things around him.
I like to try to solve problems independently and have confidence in my abilities.
Aslan's top fighting qi training method is what Aslan got from Artoria.
It is said that she improved from the family's advanced fighting qigong.
"This is a woman who doesn't like sloppy things. The thing she dislikes the most is failure." Aslan said with a sudden smile.
Lancelot was taken aback for a moment, and was instantly relieved when he saw Uther's name below.
