“You think these lords are afraid of the Kaimen bandit, no, they are afraid of the Kaimen band’s appearance and disappear unpredictably. They hit and run, but they can’t catch it, but Little Nine is different. He has a territory. He can run pastor and can’t run monastery. As long as he gets our support, unless Little Nine is willing to dedicate the entire Merlot area to Teacher, otherwise he will never complain to Teacher. This is a nobleman. The rules of the game in between.”

Katar immediately understood.

“Those lords actually glare like a tiger watching his prey on the Merlot area a long time ago, but they couldn’t find a reason to shoot.”

“So we gave them a reason !” Vattini glanced at Katar deeply, not speaking.

Katar was sitting there looking thoughtful, the tea cup in his hand also maintained the posture of toasting, until the tea was unconsciously tilted and overflowed, and he suddenly woke up.

“Sorry! It was rude.” Katar said quickly.

Vatini didn’t care about waving his hand, each minding their own business. Reading the book, Katar was already used to Vatini’s habit, sitting quietly to calculate the magic model.

From time to time, the two cups are filled.

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

The border between the Merlot area and the Billy area.

The junction of the two places is only 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. You can still see the residence from time to time. The civilian children around were playing in the river.

North of the Meili River is Jimmy Town in Baron Jimmy in the Billy area. Jimmy Town is large in scale and initially estimated to have a population of ten-twenty thousand. There are thousands of acres of fertile surroundings, and there is a green, small town. Smoke curled from the inside, and people flowed.

Compared with the prosperity of Jimmy Town, there is the difference between Heaven and Earth in the south of Meili River.

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

You can see the land after walking several kilometers from the rocky beach to the south. It’s only a few kilometers near the river bank, but the land is barren beyond imagination. It’s obviously land, but it’s only scattered and long. With a few weeds, there is a small forest not far away.

The plum poplar tree that is unique to the Merlot area grows. The plum poplar tree is a new species that evolved after suffering the magic forbidden spell in the Merlot area. It is resistant to drought, saline and alkali, and has strong adaptability to the Desert environment. Over 70% of the trees in the Merlot area are plum trees.

But this piece of plum trees has been cut almost, and only a few relatively small plum trees stand strong.

Besides several hundred meters of Meiyang Forest, there is a small village with hundreds of people. This village is called Meiyang Village. It is named after the Meiyang Forest next to it. Compared with the wealth of Jimmy Town on the other side of the river, this The village is very dilapidated.

Many people are undressed, their faces are yellow and skinny. Obviously, their lives are not good, but no one wants to go to Jimmy Town on the other side of the river.

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

The most important thing is to be slaves for generations. 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. In order for the child to have enough food, many people are still willing to sacrifice themselves for the child, but if their children and grandchildren become slaves, many people would rather starve to death.

This is the common feature of Merlot people.

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

It is the so-called barren mountains and unruly rivers.

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

For example, when the grain harvest in Jimmy Town was about to harvest, 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 in Jimmy Town, they never care about it. They arranged their family to leave before they set off, and the chasing soldiers in Jimmy Town were useless. , Anyway, the village is poor and white, even if it is burned, it doesn’t hurt.

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

As for the food in the ground, 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 and poplar. Can’t live.

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

Today Rondore, as usual, went to the Meiyang Grove to see the fields. By the way, he stood guard and observed the town of Jimmy on the other side of the river. What they worry most is not the robbers and bandits, because they are so poor that they have nothing to grab. , The only worry about Jimmy’s army coming over to encircle them.

The Plum Tree Forest is the largest plum 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.

Randor was skilled in climbing the tree. He didn’t immediately watch the surroundings. Instead, he fixed the planks on the big branches and sat lazily on it, but at 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 the officers.

“The enemy?”

Randor did not hesitate to slide down the tree trunk for a while, then jumped to the nearest branch, and then jumped, touching the ground with his feet At that second, his body leaned forward, rolled on the ground and dashed into the village.

The whole action in one go took less than five seconds.

“Enemy attack! Jimmy town has sent troops.”

As soon as he entered the village, Randor shouted loudly, and many women with things in their hands immediately took what they were holding. Throw away things, pull up the children at home and run away, while the man quickly finds all the food in the house, packs it and prepares to run.

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

Randor’s father stopped him and asked in surprise, “Did you make a mistake? There is still a big half a month before the harvest. There is no reason for Jimmy Town to send troops to drive people?”

Randor said firmly in his tone: “There is absolutely no mistake. When I returned to the village, there was already an army crossing the river, and now it is estimated to be coming to the village.”

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