Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Flesh and Flesh
It's a pity that they were defeated by Aslan, and for some reason, they almost killed Aslan.
No matter in terms of the rules of nobility, or in the face of the great lord, the Marquis of Medea, it cannot be justified.
They had to accept Aslan's exploitation, or else they would make a fuss in front of the Marquis of Medea, and they would not be able to escape the hanging just for murdering the disciple of the great lord.
This is also the law among nobles.
A matter of face and face.
They lost face by murdering Aslan, and finally lost to Aslan in the war, and even lost face.
After Aslan signed the compensation treaty, he was still in a state of excitement, but this time the compensation was only part of it. His real purpose was to get the Melo people who had been robbed and sold by these lords all these years.
"The war compensation has been settled! We should talk about the contributions you have made to the Melo area over the years."
Aslan put aside the compensation treaty and asked suddenly.
Not to mention the remaining nine lords, even the Merlots like Gude wanted to say something.
Shameless enough!
But they will add, shameless enough! But I like it.
Baron Jimmy couldn't help but thump in his heart, but he still asked bravely.
"I wonder what Master Ninth's plan is?"
Aslan waved his hand, and a former slave soldier ran out immediately.
"Osborne! My parents were captured from the Merlot area to Jimmy Town 20 years ago, and I am now."
"Jira! He was taken away from the Melo area by Viscount Hillman seven years ago and has been a slave ever since."
A dozen people started shouting.
The soldiers of the Melo Army around them clenched their fists one by one. After joining the Melo Army, they learned the ideological and political lessons on weekdays, protecting the territory, protecting the personal and property safety of the lords, and protecting everything guarded by the lord.
Now hearing that former compatriots were captured and taken as slaves for decades, and some people have been slaves for three generations, what do these soldiers who call themselves the guardian sword of the Melo region think.
This is the rise of national culture and national thought that Aslan has always emphasized.
"You have captured so many of us, shouldn't you return them?" Aslan's voice was colder than ever.
"You arresting my people is like cutting my flesh and blood. If you don't give me an explanation today, then I will personally lead an army into the territories of the lords and rescue our people."
The Melo militiamen standing at the outermost edge looked at each other after hearing these words, and the people who reacted quickly had already understood the meaning of Aslan's words, and their eyes were even redder.
Johnson said at the right time: "The lord who really belongs to our Melo region has come, and he will lead us to glory. The lord has already promised that from now on, we will be the lord's subjects and enjoy the benefits that the residents of Melo town should have." Regarding rights and obligations, the lord also promised that our children will go to study in Melo Town and practice at the Swordsman Academy, so that they can become knights in the future."
Johnson's words made the blood of these people who had long envied the people of Melo town excited.
"You should understand what the lord just said. In the heart of the lord, we are like the flesh and blood of the lord. Have you ever seen someone abandon their own flesh and blood?"
"My lord! Long live!"
"My lord! Mighty!"
"My lord! Wansheng!"
All kinds of cheers continued to sound, causing the entire barracks to fall into a sea of cheers. Unknowingly, the Melo army was also infected by this kind of cheers, and they shouted, which scared the surrounding lords Not light.
Aslan held up his hand for silence.
The Melo army ordered to prohibit, and there was a moment of silence. The militiamen on the periphery heard the Melo army's sudden silence, and instinctively stopped the noise.
"What are you going to do?" Aslan's voice echoed in the ears of every lord like a devil.
Baron Jimmy was the most helpless, and shouted loudly: "Master Ninth, I am willing to sacrifice all the Merlots who have been captured."
In Jimmy Town, as Aslan said, one-third of the population is slaves, except for a few freedmen who were degraded as slaves, and more than ninety-nine percent of them are Merlots. Will affect this year's autumn planting.
The other lords are not as extreme as Baron Jimmy, but they are not far behind.
Money can be earned again, and it can be saved slowly, it is only a matter of time.
For the lord, these slaves are free labor. They can meet all kinds of production needs as long as they consume a little food. They are simply tools for making money.
"Very well, I will send the clerk to go back to Jimmy Town to register with you, and then send it back together with the compensation, and forget about it." Aslan was very satisfied with Baron Jimmy's understanding and cooperation.
Baron Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly stepped aside.
The other lords gritted their teeth and handed over all the slaves under their control, and Aslan agreed to let them go.
Going back this time, Aslan preliminarily estimated that he would be able to obtain at least 50,000 to 60,000 people, or even more. How to resettle them in the future is also a big problem.
Meiyang Village also wants to build a fortress. On the one hand, it is to patrol the border and defend against possible attacks. On the other hand, it is to trade with the lords of Jimmy Town. He intends to use the economy to encroach on their territory and slowly control it in his hands. , become a supplier of raw materials in the Merlot area, and then produce goods and exchange more money from them.
At this time, Aslan also realized a problem, how to face the Billy region of the Marquis of Medea when the Melo region was truly developed.
Aslan's eyes froze at this time, and he felt more and more that Justin must die, so that the Marquis of Medea would have no thoughts at all, and he would only focus on studying magic and disciples, and it would be okay to hand over the entire Billy region to him. It's not impossible, as long as he can afford the magic resources of the Marquis of Medea.
As for the other brothers, as long as they can persuade the Marquis of Medea, everything else is just a small problem.
As for the two senior sisters, Natal and Watini, Aslan has plenty of ways to deal with them.
When Aslan was planning how to annex the Billy region in the future, Lancelot hurried over with Kruzer and the three strong Russell.
Aslan was absolutely sure that things had changed in Billy City, but he didn't know how serious it was.
"Let's go back to the tent!" Aslan said without giving Lancelot a chance to speak.
Lancelot nodded knowingly, while Cruze avoided Aslan's sight with a face of shame. He didn't expect that the first mission Aslan gave him would end in this way.
For a self-proclaimed genius like him, this was not an insignificant blow.
Aslan smiled and nodded at him.
"This accident is not about you, it's because I didn't think carefully. It's good for everyone to come back."
