"But...... These Treants are owned by the Winged People, so if you want to get them, you have to deal with the Winged People. Ryan continued.

"Let us discuss this, and we will reply to you as soon as possible!" The Dark Elf Empress turned her head to look at a few elders, and it was obvious that the elders were a little moved, but a powerful tribe was near her place of residence, and whether this was a blessing or a curse had to be carefully discussed, after all, the matter was too big, and the Dark Elf Empress also saw that this Ryan had a good relationship with this winged tribe, and as the leader of a race, there were all kinds of things that needed to be considered, so the Dark Elf Empress hesitated for a moment, and then replied.

"Well, what about my courtship?" Ryan snorted, and Ryan didn't expect the Dark Elf Empress to say yes.

"There's no problem with this, but our elders will also have to discuss it carefully, after all, the dark elves marry humans, and they are two together, so they must give the clan an explanation, right?" Before the Dark Elf Empress could answer, the Great Elder spoke first.

"Hehe, I'll wait for your good news!" Ryan stood up after saying that, and was about to leave, Ryan was a little unhappy in his heart, but Ryan didn't care, he was really in a hurry, and some of the means were to deal with these unstable guys.

Under the enthusiastic embrace of the elders of the Council of Elders and the Empress of the Dark Elves, Ryan left the territory of the Dark Elves, and Ryan returned extremely quickly, when he came, Ryan mainly wanted to observe the construction of infrastructure, as well as the surrounding terrain, and when he came back, he returned to the Lord's Mansion in the Great Wasteland with just a thought.

The Lord's Mansion is still a huge cave, but this cave has expanded many times, it is already the size of a city, and within dozens of miles around it, there are several huge caves, these are the dwarves built settlements, but the rest of the caves are connected together, forming a huge city, and on the outside is just the appearance of a small city, this small city is mainly for some races who are not used to living in the caves, but the orcs and dwarves in the dark region on the great wasteland, Gnomes still prefer to live in caves, because the surface of the Great Wasteland is too cold.

"Master, you're back, the elders of the dwarf clan have surveyed the direction of the leylines, and have determined that there will be a large number of mineral veins and volcanoes in a direction." An old man of the fox clan saw Ryan coming back and hurriedly reported it.

"Well, I see, but let those dwarves be careful, I'll do it if I need to." Ryan replied to the fox old man, this is the first group of orcs to follow Ryan, and the fox clan in the orcs is very talented in dealing with some chores and calculations.

"Master, this is the expenditure and income of the last two months, and the orc empire has sent people to collect taxes in the Great Wasteland, you see?" Another fox said to Ryan with a thick stack of sheepskin scrolls.

"Collecting taxes? What taxes are charged? Ryan asked, surprised.

"Every spring and autumn, the empire sends people to collect taxes, all of which are collected on a per capita basis, 50 silver coins per person, no matter how big or small, adult or not." The old man replied.

"Poll tax, is this the orc empire directly sending people to collect taxes, or are other local lords collecting taxes?" Ryan asked further.

"It seems that a lord on the other side of the Great Wilderness came to collect taxes, and it is said that this is his territory." The old man of the fox clan replied a little vaguely.

"What about the tax collectors?" Ryan asked.

"In the tavern below." The old man of the fox clan replied.

"Come on, bring the tax collector up, I want to see the one who dares to come to my territory to collect taxes!" Ryan yelled and commanded directly to Beechcraft, who was standing on the side.

"Master, I'm going, these little cubs have been here for several days, and the entertainment expenses have been hundreds of gold coins, and Lao Tzu has long wanted to teach these guys a lesson." Beach replied and ran out, muttering as he ran, but what Ryan was and what he muttered was clear.

"Alright. Go down, but we won't reimburse them for their entertainment, so you have the tavern keeper ask them directly, and if you don't, report it to the sheriff's office. Ryan asked these fox elders to leave, but before leaving, Ryan specifically instructed the fox elders who managed the market.

"Yes, sir, I'll handle it." The fox old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked away.

Ryan looked at these old people who were leaving quickly, and he still had a certain sense of pride in his heart, you must know that these old people of the orc clan had problems walking, not that their bodies were no longer good, but long-term malnutrition, in the world of orcs, the old people would leave the tribe when they reached a certain age, why, it was because of the food and the oppression of the empire, especially in this great wasteland, which was already very barren, and there was still half a year of the frozen soil season, so the harvest was very small, and they may not have enough to eat, not to mention paying taxes, A person has 50 silver coins, even if it is excessive in human beings, it is a very heavy tax, a person in the human kingdom only needs 10 copper coins a day to eat, and it is better to eat, and the income is only more than 20 copper coins a day, only about 6 silver coins a month, only 72 silver coins a year, this is a commoner's income for a year, and the objects in the great wilderness are even more pitiful, a snow fox's skin is worth hundreds of gold coins in the human world, here is just the price of a bag of coarse grain, a bag of coarse grain is only the price of a few silver coins, Or the price of a kitchen knife, Ryan still remembers that the richest patriarch in the orc tribe only owned a complete iron pot, and was usually reluctant to use it, only when it was sacrificed, and the rest of the families used rough items made of wood or stone, and most of the hunting tools were made of animal bones and animal teeth, so the poll tax of 50 silver coins per person was simply extremely squeezed.

"Sir, bring it." It didn't take long for Beechcraft to bring more than a dozen people, and these dozen or so people were all powerful races among orcs, including werewolves, leopard people, and cat people, and even guys that Ryan couldn't recognize, mainly because there were too many races of orcs, plus mixed blood, even the orcs themselves might not recognize it completely.

"You are the principal here, you build a house in our lord's territory without authorization, you must pay a building tax, and you have to pay a mining tax for mining mountains and rocks, and ......." A very strong leopard man saw Ryan and pointed at Ryan arrogantly with the smell of wine and said.

"Beech, pull it down and let him sober up." Ryan commanded lightly, this werewolf is also a ninth-level warrior, but the current Beechcraft is not what Ryan looked like when he first saw it, there are several magic ornaments on Beech's body now, all of which have only one function, increasing strength and agility, and the two sledgehammers are even more high-quality products created by dwarves.

"If you dare to point fingers in front of the master, come on, pull me down, my lord, I want to move my muscles and bones." To Ryan's surprise, Beach didn't take action personally, but shouted loudly, but it was a bit imposing.

"Whew! Swish! Swish! When the group saw the guards pouring in, they all drew their blades and confronted Beechcraft's guards.

"Humph! Dare to do it here, give it to me! "Beach's face was already very white, but now it turned black, and it was obvious that these people didn't give themselves face.

"Take it down, and I'll tell me the answer." With a wave of his hand, Ryan knocked the men to the ground with a huge force, Ryan commanded Biech, and then disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Ryan flashed back to the headquarters of the Double Star Mercenary Group outside Black Dragon City, and the communication rune that Ryan gave Felix just now lit up, which is when there is major news that Felix will activate this communication rune.

"The Dark Empire has declared war on the Empire of Light, and has already broken through a small city, two towns." Felix handed Ryan a parchment scroll.

"What else is the news, the Wizards' Union, the Mercenary Union, and the Alliance Empire didn't say anything?" Ryan took one look and continued.

"No, these big forces seem to be still waiting." Felix replied.

"How is the deployment of troops in the Empire of Light?" Ryan continued.

"The Bright Empire has deployed a large number of troops on the edge of Black Dragon City, so the rest of the borders are a little empty, and those stupid people don't want to think about it, if our Black Dragon City wants to expand, can those soldiers stop it?" Felix scoffed.

"Who is attacking the Holy See of Light?" At this moment, a bright light appeared in front of Ryan, and a beautiful girl asked Ryan angrily.

"Niu Niu ......." Ryan knew who it was as soon as he saw the girl, and asked in surprise, although Ryan knew that he had a soul contract with Niuniu, and it was easy to enter and exit the spatial laboratory, but Ryan didn't understand what Niuniu meant.

"Who is this?" Before Ryan could ask, Felix next to him looked at Niuniu, pinched Ryan fiercely, and then confronted Niuniu.

"Crawler!" Niu Niu looked at Felix and spit out two words contemptuously.

"You! Look for death! Rumble! Felix was furious all of a sudden, knowing that the dragons hated people calling them reptiles, but in an instant, the room where Ryan was was like tofu was broken by Felix's huge body, and Niu Niu also spread two wings in an instant.

"It turned out to be a birdman! Or a pair of winged birdmen to watch and fight! Felix laughed when she saw that Niu Niu looked like a two-winged angel, and then rushed to Niu Niu.

"A black loach dares to be arrogant!" Niuniu replied not to be outdone, and then the whole person turned into a streamer and rushed towards Felix.

"I'm ......!" Ryan looked at the two shadows of the battle in the sky very depressed, cursed secretly, and then flew into the sky hard.
