When the city’s lord’s mansion was caught in a heated discussion, Crowder’s son Naj bribed a guard and successfully escaped from the town. Before leaving the town, he looked at the town where he grew up, and his eyes flashed. A touch of viciousness.
"Aslan! Wait, I will be back."
In the early morning of the next day, Aslan received the news of Najie's escape. He just nodded, with a calm and calm appearance, and didn't pay attention to Najie at all.
"Lord Lord, cut the grass but not root."
Arthur saw that Aslan was still indifferent, thinking he was still too young, and suggested.
Aslan smiled and shook his head.
"What can he do with a boy and a half?"
Hearing Aslan's words, Arthur finally sighed. In his eyes, Aslan was still too young.
Looking at Arthur's back, Aslan smiled coldly.
Najay is a native of Merlot. If he wants to escape, even Arthur will not be able to catch up, let alone run away all night. As for whether it will bring any unknown danger, Aslan is also unsure. Clearly.
Claude used to be a member of the Kaimen Bandit Group, and later retired in the small town of Merlot, in fact, to guard the treasure cave of the Kaimen Bandit Group in this area, and at the same time to provide cover for the Kaimen Bandit Group. The lair of the door bandit is located on a barren hill less than 30 kilometers away from the small town of Merlot.
It is precisely because of the remote location of the small town of Merlot. Although it is the junction of the three countries, it has become a place of death because of the isolation of the Split Peak Grand Canyon.
There is only the small town of Merlot, a poor and white town, and there is no oil and water to fish. No one would have thought that this place was the home of the famous bandit group like Kaimen Bandit Group.
After the previous life began to develop in the small town of Merlot, Claude did not fail to rob territory for the Kaimen bandit group.
Therefore, Aslan knew very well about the Kaimen Bandit Group, especially the bandit leader of the Kaimen Bandit Group.
That was a lord who didn’t see rabbits and scatter eagles. Now the town of Merlot is poor and white. Even if it is looted, he can’t get a lot of money. Moreover, there is a middle-level knight named Arthur in the town, in case he accidentally breaks down. Wouldn't it be worth the loss of a few brothers?
So before the town was developed, it was still very safe.
Before that, Aslan only needed to vigorously develop armaments.
Assemble the remaining town guards and remove most of the people who are too old or physically defective, and exactly forty-three people remain.
In the open space in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Aslan looked at the group of young people in front of him. In fact, the youngest people here were all older than him.
"You want to be a swordsman? Or even a knight?" Aslan said in a high tone.
The youngest militiamen raised their heads, staring at Venus in their eyes.
The Kingdom of Cleveland is a martial country. As long as it is strong enough, it can become a nobleman of the kingdom. For example, after entering the realm of the great knight, as long as you register in the royal capital, and then swear allegiance to the kingdom, you can obtain a territory and become a great noble master.
This is why the Kingdom of Cleveland has always been able to guarantee its dominance.
Absolute power!
A power that civilians cannot possess.
As a famous saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
In another world, the only way for civilians to learn fighting spirit is to join the army. They came here with hard work, not to learn fighting spirit, become a great swordsman, or even have the opportunity to become a knight.
The atmosphere of the militia in the entire open space was mobilized, and Aslan waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
"From now on, the town guards will be promoted with military honors, and with their merits, they will be given the level of vindictive practice."
In a word, Aslan instantly brought the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the militia to the extreme.
What does an employee fear most when entering the company? There is no room for advancement and no business prospects can be seen.
Such an enterprise, no matter how high the wages are, it will only end up in a stagnant pool in the end.
Aslan gave these militias hope and opportunity, and they would naturally work hard.
Then under the leadership of Arthur, he began to train in an orderly manner. This kind of scene has not been seen before in the small town of Merlot.
In the early morning, many residents just opened the windows and saw a team of well-dressed town guards running in the morning.
Their footsteps are very light, and their clothes are very simple, giving people a sense of stability and reliability.
Aslan stood in front of the window of the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the town guard that slowly disappeared from sight, and nodded in satisfaction.
"It's not enough."
Aslan cast his gaze on the animal skins on the table. It was he who recorded all the events and things he could record in his previous life last night.
He is worried that over time, he will forget certain key events.
The small town of Merlot is already in your hands, and the wasteland has begun to enter a state of development. The population is an unavoidable fact of the town of Merlot.
Then he began to look at the villages around the small town of Merlot.
Yes, it is the surrounding villages.
Although the small town of Merlot is remote and lacking in supplies, it has an advantage that other prosperous areas don't have, that is, there are no nobles.
The absence of nobility means that there is no exploitation, no war and persecution.
It has become a paradise for many victims. Although the days have been a bit bitter, it is more peaceful than the big cities in other parts of the kingdom.
In the previous life, Aslan unified all the villages around the small town of Merlot, which increased the population of tens of thousands of people for the small town of Merlot, which was absolutely unimaginable at the time.
The hidden population in many villages far exceeds everyone's expectations.
At noon, the blazing sun was sky.
After completing the daily tasks, Aslan began to go to a village less than thirty miles from Merlot. Although it was a village, its scale was not much worse than that of Merlot.
Maisi Village, the first village chief is said to be called Maisi, who brought refugees from nearly a hundred to build this village, and it has a history of more than 30 years.
Now it is one of the most powerful villages around Melo Town. Compared with Melo Town, the only difference is that they are not in the Kingdom Records and cannot accept the sale of local merchants and resources.
Although self-sufficient, but many times need to go to the small town of Merlot to buy things.
In the middle of each month, it is the busiest time in the town of Merlot, and all the surrounding villages go there to go to the market, and there are even many bandits to sell the stolen goods there.
Aslan brought Arthur and his party to the front of Max Village.
The tall wooden wall made Aslan shook his head. At this point, the small town of Merlot was far behind. The only advantage was the orthodox identity. Other villages were not as good as even a village.
