The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

"You think these lords are afraid of the Kaimen bandit group. No, they are afraid of the Kaimen bandit group. They will run away, but they will not be caught. But Xiao Jiu is different. He has territory and ran away. Pastor, I can’t run into the monastery. As long as we support him, unless Xiao Jiu is willing to dedicate the entire Merlot area to the teacher, otherwise he will never complain to the teacher. This is the rule of the game among the nobles."

Qatar immediately understood.

"Those lords have actually been eyeing the Merlot area a long time ago, but they just couldn't find a reason to shoot."

"So we give them a reason!" Vattini glanced at Qatar with a deep gaze, but did not speak.

Qatar sat there thoughtfully, the teacup in his hand also maintained a toasting posture, until the tea was unknowingly tilted and overflowed, and then suddenly awakened.

"Sorry! It was rude." Qatar said quickly.

Vadini didn't care about waving his hand. Since reading the book, Qatar has long been accustomed to Vadini's habit, sitting quietly and calculating the magic model.

From time to time, the two cups were filled.

Xia Feng blew gently, and a pair of beautiful women sat opposite each other in a picturesque manner.

The border between the Merlot region and the Belize region.

The junction of the two places is separated by a river called Meili River. The river is more than ten meters wide and less than two meters deep. The water flow is gentle and the summer is hot. From time to time, you can see civilian children living around in the river. Playing in the water.

To the north of the Meili River is Jimmy Town, Baron Jimmy in the Billy area. Jimmy Town is a huge town with a population of 10,000 or 20,000. It is surrounded by thousands of acres of fertile fields. The green area is green. The town is full of smoke and crowds. .

Compared with the prosperity of Jimmy Town, the southern side of Meili River is quite different.

The south side of the Meili River is connected to a whole rocky beach, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres of land.

It’s a few kilometers from the rocky beach to the south to see the land. It’s only a few kilometers close to the river bank, but the land is barren beyond imagination. It’s obviously land, but it’s just scattered with a few weeds, not far away. There is still a small forest.

It grows the unique plum poplar tree in the Merlot area. The plum poplar tree is a new species evolved after suffering the magical curse in the Merlot area. It is resistant to drought, salt and alkali, and has strong adaptability to the desert environment. There are more than seven in the Merlot area. The grown trees are all plum trees.

But this piece of plum tree has been chopped down, leaving only a few relatively small plum trees standing strong.

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

Many people are undressed, with yellowish skin and thin faces. It is obvious that their lives are not good, but no one wants to go to Jimmy Town on the other side of the river.

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

The most important thing is to be slaves for generations, and there is no possibility of turning over, so even if people in the village starve to death every year, they will not go to Jimmy Town.

It doesn't matter if parents become slaves. To feed their children, many people are still willing to sacrifice themselves for their children, but if their children and grandchildren become slaves, many people would rather starve to death.

This is the universal characteristic of the Merlot.

They have survived in harsh environments for many years, creating their gritty character.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters create troublesome people.

In addition to digging in the ground, the people in Meiyang Village occasionally appeared as a bandit bully.

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.

This has become the biggest source of food for Meiyang villagers. As for the revenge of Jimmy Town, they never cared. They had arranged their family to leave before they set off. The chasing soldiers in Jimmy Town were useless. It doesn't hurt to be burned.

On this day, Meiyang villagers should fish for fishing, hunt for hunting, and plant land.

As for the food in the field, they are mainly poplar cassava, which is the companion product of plum poplar.

Poplar cassava has excellent characteristics such as coarse growth, easy cultivation, high yield and harvest in four seasons. The only drawback is that plum and poplar must be produced together. If the distance is too far, it cannot absorb the nutrients of plum poplar and cannot survive.

Therefore, the output of poplar cassava is high, but it depends too much on the plum tree. Meiyang Village has not mastered its planting technology, and the plum tree forest on the edge was ruined by the villagers' planting experiment.

Today Randor went to see the fields in the Meiyang Grove and watched the fields on the other side of the river. They were most worried about not the robbers and bandits, because they were so poor that they had nothing to rob. The only thing they worried about was Jimmy’s army. Come to encircle them.

The Mei Yang Forest is the largest Mei Yang tree in the north. I don't know how many years it has existed. Randor has been standing here since he was a child. Hearing from his father, it already existed when they moved here.

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

He saw a group of soldiers in Jimmy Town uniforms crossing the river, among them hundreds of troops had already landed ashore, rested under the command of officers.

"enemy?"

Randor didn’t hesitate, he slid down on the tree trunk for a while, then jumped to the nearest branch, and then jumped. The second his feet touched the ground, his body leaned forward, and he rolled on the ground and flew into the village. Rush away.

The whole action was completed in one go, and it took less than five seconds.

"Enemy attack! Jimmy Town has sent troops."

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

This series of familiar movements and orderly large-scale movements shows that this is not the first time these people have done so.

Randor's father grabbed him and asked in surprise, "Did you make a mistake? There is still more than half a month before the grain harvest. Jimmy Town has no reason to send troops to drive people?"

Randor said firmly in a tone: "There is absolutely no mistake. When I returned to the village, there were already troops crossing the river. It is estimated that they are coming to the village now."

Simya nodded and began to command the villagers to speed up their evacuation, and from time to time they helped the villagers with slower hands and feet.
