The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

Aslan rushed out of Billy City all the way, Zongma said.

"The six lords who attacked the Merlot area retreated at the same time, but they did not let it go. Instead, they gathered all their troops to Jimmy Town. Obviously they were prepared to rely on their superior forces to have a decisive battle with us on the banks of the Meri River."

"I was careless this time." Aslan said annoyedly.

Arthur was silent, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.

The coalition composed of six lords has five to six thousand troops.

Gao Wen, who was confronting them at this time, had at most seven or eight hundred troops on hand.

Ten times the strength of his own, even if the Merlot army was more elite, Arthur still lacked confidence.

History has proved countless times that quantitative changes are enough to trigger qualitative changes.

Otherwise, the human race would not become the ruler of Sino Land.

In addition to being good at using tools and learning, Terra is a huge population base.

As the sky started to dawn, Aslan had appeared in the surveillance area of ​​the outpost outside Merlot.

Because of the war with the lord of the region of Billy, the guards at the outpost were very strict, and no soldiers dared to be lazy. Two groups of four took turns to guard.

Seeing that the lord came back, the soldiers at the outpost quickly lit up white smoke.

The black wolf smoke represents the enemy’s invasion, and the white smoke swears the Lord’s return.

Seeing the white smoke outside the town of Merlot, Wilshin and Essien unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Lord has returned, and their backbone has also returned.

Aslan rushed all the way, with no smile on his face, so he turned a blind eye to the leaders who saluted him on the road.

However, all the lord citizens take it for granted that if such a serious matter occurs in the land, the lord can still greet them with a smile on his face, so they have to worry about it.

As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Aslan threw his horse whip on the table and asked solemnly.

"Tell me about the current situation?"

Essien immediately stood up and said: "There has been reliable news that the six lords have gathered five thousand soldiers and horses, and this number is still increasing."

"Furthermore, the four lords who have some in-laws with the six lords have also begun to mobilize troops on a large scale."

Essien's last words made Aslan's eyes wide open.

This is something that has not happened in the previous life.

Is it the butterfly effect?

But Aslan didn't panic, instead quickly calmed down.

"How many soldiers can there be in the new barracks?" Aslan asked calmly.

"Four hundred Merlot troops, six hundred city defense troops." Will Xin said decisively.

Aslan estimated the strength of the troops at hand.

If all the troops are pushed up, there will only be more than two thousand troops. As for the construction of the Corps, Aslan does not intend to let them participate in the war.

Not to mention the inadequacy of combat training, and because of his age, the combat effectiveness he can exert on the battlefield is really limited.

In the era of cold weapons, the physical strength and combat experience gained in the war.

The soldiers of the Construction Corps did not go to the battlefield, so naturally they had no combat experience at all. After they got older, their physical strength became even worse.

"What's the situation on the front line?" Aslan asked again.

"This is the latest battle report!" Willson handed the battle report to Aslan.

Aslan looked at the report from Gawain very calmly, with a solemn expression.

The lord’s coalition forces in the Billy area have gathered more than 5,000 people. They can cross the river at any time, but they don’t have so many ships and cannot cross the river on a large scale, so they dare not cross the river for the time being. The Merlot army will eat it.

It's just that they are already logging wood and building ships, and they will soon be overwhelmed by the army.

Aslan picked up a quill pen and wrote a date and a tactical plan on it.

Relying on the advantages of the terrain to prevent them from crossing the river, as long as one week is delayed, he will lead reinforcements to support.

That's right! Aslan needs a week's time. He wants to mass produce Merlot crossbows to make the city defense recruits familiar with them as soon as possible. At the same time, he is ready to take out his last life's war killer.

Five consecutive bed crossbows.

"Immediately recruit troops, with experience in the army is a priority, and how much can be trained with recruits?" Aslan no longer cared about what would happen to the under-trained soldiers on the battlefield.

After all, many soldiers under the lord’s command are also farmers, and only raise their weapons during the war.

Essien and Wilshin quickly conveyed the decree, and within a short while, a draft notice was posted on the bulletin board outside the city lord's mansion.

It's just that it's different from other lords' forced conscription, which is forcibly distributed to each family.

The enlistment notice of Melo Town is voluntary, and it also explained the dangerous situation that Melo Town is facing at this time, especially the danger that soldiers in the army will face at that time.

The civil servants of the City Lord's Mansion read the contents of the announcement again, but the more they read, the lower the sound.

He felt that Lord Lord must be crazy, and it was strange that someone was willing to join the army when such a draft announcement came out.

The onlookers were silent for a while, and they were caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he wanted to help Lord Lord, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he would die in battle this time.

The door to the balcony on the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion opened, and Aslan in a uniform walked out.

"It’s so easy for us to have today in Merlot, but some people don’t want to see us live a good life. In their eyes, our Merlot area is their back garden. The Merlot people are born their slaves. Now the Big Six The lord's army is overwhelming, and I can no longer retreat."

Aslan said this, he was silent, only the consequences, he did not say, but quietly looked at the people below.

He hoped that the people below would awaken the blood of the nation and the sense of honor of the family and country.

"Lord Lord! What happens if you are defeated?"

Suddenly someone asked.

Just for a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Aslan, and they all wanted to know what the Lord Lord would do in such a situation?

"I will lead the soldiers of the Merlot army to the end? Vow to coexist and die in Merlot Town." Aslan said firmly.

He wanted to complain, even if he was defeated, the six lords would not dare to hurt him a single hair.

"Follow the lord to the death!"

The old people in Melo Town were the first to respond. They are mainly the original residents of Wood Village and Melo Town. Almost every family has people in the army, accepting the patriotism of the knights and advocating the influence of Aslan's thoughts every day.

It is called brainwashing for short. Under its influence, these families have a higher ideological consciousness than other people who have just arrived.

"Without Lord Lord, there would be no us now, fighting for Merlot."

The people who shouted such slogans are basically the middle class of Merlot. They already have a stable income and their days are getting better every day. Once Merlot is broken, everything they have may be robbed by other lords.

They are people with vested interests. Compared with other people, they must resolutely stand on the same front with Aslan.
