396 Chapter 396: My Loveliest Citizens

The flame shield can only defend against flame attacks, but cannot defend against any elemental attacks, and consumes very little mana. Even elementary magic can cast dozens of them in one go, let alone advanced magicians.

The fire damage of incendiary bombs is perfectly restrained for a while, but the incendiary bombs still cannot be stopped. If the fire drops slightly, you must continue to release incendiary bombs, because there is no flame attack caused by incendiary bombs.

The soldiers of the United Army who defended were even more miserable. Many enemy soldiers were killed halfway through the fight, and the flame shields on their bodies were burned to death because the time limit expired.

If there is no cover of fire, the enemy in the rear can drop more soldiers into the battlefield.

Every minute that passed, soldiers of the United Army were pulled into the flames or hacked to death.

It's just that the price paid by the ten-party coalition is several times, even ten times.

Shaar watched the battlefield quietly, while the noble lords beside him trembled as they watched.

They feel bad!

From yesterday to now, they have killed nearly 100,000 troops because of the storm.

Among them, thousands of people were beheaded by the supervising team.

Shaar was so crazy that he actually used berserk magic on ordinary soldiers, making them like wild beasts out of control, constantly rushing towards the walls of the unified army.

The Duke of Medea almost put all his troops on hand, even the Magic Legion was no exception.

After a three-hour rest, the Air Mage Brigade also set foot on the battlefield again, and began to use the Pyroblast technique on a large scale, successfully clearing out the enemy troops in several areas.

Carpet bombing is no joke.

Only this time, the enemy army also found a way to target them. Several instructor-level sharpshooters led dozens of army sharpshooters under the cover of magicians, and successfully shot and killed three magicians and wounded more than 20 soldiers. A magic soldier, so that their offensive can not help but slow down.

Aslan also had no choice. After all, it was a city defense battle and not a mobile battle. The aviation magician brigade could not use the advantage of maneuvering to fight, and this situation was inevitable.

In this fight, it was not until the evening that the ten-party coalition finally retreated.

Aslan himself came to the battle front.

The original wall had already been pushed down, and the enemy had advanced nearly 100 meters into the camp.

All the soldiers of the unified army were exhausted, one by one wished they could fall to the ground and not get up.

"Master Ninth!"

"My lord!"

"Master Marquis!"

The salutations kept ringing out one by one, and all the soldiers looked at Aslan with dazed and confused eyes, but this did not hinder their respect for Aslan.

Aslan kept saying to the soldiers, "Thank you for your hard work! You all have worked hard."

Aslan didn't stop until he reached the original gate of the camp. Seeing the scorched earth and the smell of barbecue all around, Aslan frowned slightly.

Today's day of fighting is really too tragic.

The United Army killed more than 20,000 and injured more than 40,000.

The ten-party coalition forces dispatched 30,000 phalanxes, and when they finally retreated, less than 15 of them were able to maintain their organizational structure and retreat, with a loss of nearly 150,000. Among them, the dead soldiers definitely exceeded 100,000, and the wounded soldiers were relatively small.

Aslan walked slowly to a collapsed high platform, and the flames beside him kept beating.

"Many people are confused. Why are we fighting with the Ten-Party Alliance? Today I will tell you the reason."

Aslan's voice quickly attracted the attention of all the soldiers, even the soldiers who were bandaging their wounds raised their heads to look at Aslan.

"Because of our land, our wealth!"

Aslan asked a simple question.

"As soldiers, have you been allocated land?"

"Yes, my family is in the Kex area. I was originally the subject of that damned Viscount Loken. After he was defeated, the territory was taken back by the city lord Vatini. Because of my meritorious service in the uprising, I divided up two acres of land."

"That's right! I'm Billy City, we should be the first batch of soldiers assigned to the field."

Someone immediately showed off.

The soldiers in the Melo area couldn't help laughing and said proudly.

"Wrong! Wrong! We should be in the Melo region to be the first to distribute the land soldiers. Our lord proposed the land distribution system."

"That's right! It's because of the land. The soldiers present were allotted at least one acre of land, and the soldiers with great military exploits were even allotted ten acres of land. How many soldiers do we have, nearly 600,000? The amount of land definitely exceeds one million mu." Aslan shouted loudly.

"This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed by the nobles in other provinces, and the common people are not allowed to have their own land, because you are the wealth and slaves of the lord."

When Aslan said this, the whole scene was silent, and even Duke Medea was not calm.

"When I first came to the Merlot area, my territory had only a few hundred people, and the territory of hundreds of people only had a few acres of land to cultivate, and many people lived a life of full and hungry. I feel extremely ashamed, because I am their lord, and as a lord, I can't let the people live a good life, that is my original sin."

"At that time, my thoughts were so simple, but several lord friends laughed at my whimsical ideas. They said that serfs and commoners are low breeds. There is no need to let them live a good life, as long as they are squeezed well. Many people should Live the kind of hard work for the lord for a year, but in the end you can’t get enough to eat every day, because most of the food you have cultivated so hard has been taken away by the lord.”

When Aslan said this, he looked around. Many soldiers slowly stood up and looked at Aslan with complicated eyes.

"That's right, this is the essence of a noble lord, but then I discovered one thing, a way for a lord and the people to benefit from each other, that is, to distribute land to the people, and the ownership of the grain in the fields is owned by the people who cultivate it. Just collect taxes from the citizens."

When Aslan said this, all the soldiers were dumbfounded. It seemed that their long-standing view of Aslan was about to collapse.

"Later, I succeeded. The people in the territory lived a prosperous life. They were willing to pay taxes and work for me. With the help of the people, I developed the territory better and better. This made me understand One thing, I am your lord, and it is my mission to lead you to live a prosperous life, and you, the people, also accumulate wealth for me bit by bit and help me build my territory."

"Water can carry a boat and capsize it! I am the lonely boat on the water. It is because of your support that the Merlot region, the Marquis of Aslan, and the Lord of Aslan are here! I stand for you! Proud, my dearest citizens!"
