Chapter Ninety-Eight: Self-Inflicted Humiliation (Part 2)
Li Muyang's hand: A foolish person who backslides will kill himself, and a foolish person who is greedy will harm his own life.
The first order of Mayor Hollier came down that afternoon, calling for a war tax of 10 gold coins per person to be used to feed the army against the orcs; Given that the goblins were once a member of the orcs and caused significant harm to humans, they had to make reparations, with a tax of 50 gold coins per person.
Hollier was counting his income with his fingers crossed, and there were about 6 or 7,000 people in Shannan Town; 10 gold coins per person is 6 or 70,000 gold coins. In addition, there are about 50,000 or 60,000 goblins here, and 50 gold coins per person is 300,000 less, which is more than the tax revenue in previous years!
The more Holier thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and soon forgot about the unpleasantness of His Royal Highness putting himself here, and began to wonder if he could think of another name to add taxes, and he must squeeze the money out of those untouchables!
Of course, Gerald guessed his father's thoughts, and he reminded with a slight smile: "Father, I think you should report to His Royal Highness the Prince and Kendall first!" Just say you've taken full control of the town and reassure them. ”
"That's right! My son was thoughtful, so I wrote a letter to send it back to His Royal Highness the Prince and the Prime Minister. Houllier thought so much and praised his son fiercely.
The next day, Houllier's men went to collect taxes, but met with stubborn resistance; In particular, the goblins shouted: "If you want money, you need to die!" "Almost clashed with the people who collected taxes.
After Hollier got the news, he angrily slapped the table and scolded: "It's the opposite! Are they going to rebel? A bunch of despicable goblins dare to defy my orders! Come on, give me a half-way increase in their taxes, and tell them that if they can't pay it within three days, I'll close their factory! ”
However, to Houllier's surprise, before he could send someone to the factory of the goblins, the goblins fled back to the Great Wasteland, making his plan to make a fortune come to naught.
Unwilling to fail, Holier ordered his tax collectors to capture the fleeing goblins in the Great Wasteland, but as a result, dozens of law enforcement teams entered the Great Wasteland, but only one tax officer escaped; And he also brought back a shocking news, there is a team of 1,000 wolf cavalry wandering in the Great Wilderness, robbing and killing targets everywhere and aiming at Shannan Town.
Hollier was so frightened that he almost collapsed, and he tried to order everyone to flee quickly. Gerald got up and stopped his father and said, "Father, don't panic, this is just a trick by Ronis to scare his father away!" I still have a cavalry of 100 men under my command, and I will go and kill these wolf cavalry and see what else the enemy can do? ”
Only then did Holier stabilize his mind and said, "My son is right, okay!" Then it's all up to you! ”
Gerald was young and vigorous, and with a word of promise, he led the army into the Great Wasteland. Searching for a thousand wolf cavalry in the vast wasteland is like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, Gerald and the others were lucky, but unlucky.
Luckily, within a few days of going out, they spotted the wolf cavalry, but unfortunately they found themselves surrounded by people.
At first, Gerald was a little unimpressed, but soon the appearance of the seventh-level master Romario, the lone wolf, made him just get to the point where things were not good. Before he could react, Romario's two sons, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, had already surrounded him from behind.
The Romario family is known as the Three Sevenths; It is also famous in the orc kingdom. Gerald now knows that he regrets, but it's too late; He didn't care about resisting at all, so he hit his horse and ran.
In the Great Wilderness, nothing can outrun the wolves of the wolf clan; Even though Gerrard was riding a thoroughbred sweaty BMW, he was also surrounded by Sanluo.
The three guys pounced on them with no dignity, and the three of them pressed one and slammed it. Gerald had only just broken through the seventh level, which could hold the three of them under siege; It didn't take long for him to be swept off the horse by Ronaldinho's flail, and then he was captured alive.
When Houllier saw his son's helmet being brought back, he was so frightened that he almost squatted on the ground; He hurried to see Ryan and asked him to send troops to rescue him.
When Ryan heard that the wolf cavalry was coming, he began to pour bitter water, and finally only sent someone to contact the wolf cavalry, but refused to discharge a single soldier. He then ordered the town to be under martial law, and then put Hollier and his men under house arrest in the name of protecting the mayor.
Holier was locked up in the mayor's mansion, surrounded by a group of halberders who surrounded the courtyard so tightly that not to mention people, not even flies could fly in. At this time, Hollier knew that people were stabbing me as fish and meat, and he was stupid to suppress bandits, which was the result that people wanted.
The next day, Ryan came to see him, saying that he had made contact with the wolf clan, and they also offered a price: even if he wanted Gerald to return safely, he could do it, but he had to exchange the map of the Emerald Tower in his hand.
Hollier stood up and shouted, "Delusion! If I let the prince know, he will kill me! ”
Ryan laughed and said, "Elder Town, if His Royal Highness the Prince knew that you had hidden blueprints, would he let you go?" And the wolf people have to say, if you don't hand over the map, they'll send a part of Gerald's body every three days.
You have to think about it, Gerald broke through level 7 at a young age, and his future is bright, so it's a shame that it's gone.
I also heard that you also have a grandson named Owen, who is already a level 5 master before he is twenty years old, and you have to think about his future too! ”
"Demons! You are all demons! Hollier squirted a mouthful of blood and fell limply to the ground.
Ryan smiled, a healing spell was lost, and Hollier slowly woke up again. "Lord Townsman, our evil blooms only for evil's sake, please don't let the opportunity for peace pass us away. Think about it! ”
While Holier was suffering in the small town of Shannan, Li Muyang and the others came to the outskirts of the dark royal capital. The castle of the Dark King is famous for its obsidian, and it looks like a black mountain from a distance, so it is called the Dark King's Capital.
The city is a hundred square kilometers and is home to nearly a million people, making it one of several megacities on the continent of Erathia.
"What an amazing city!" Li Muyang looked at the dark royal capital in front of him, and thought of his bright city again, these two cities are dark and bright, as if they were born with Fan Chong! However, the Dark King is only one of several larger cities, so wait! My City of Light will definitely become the biggest city in the world, there is no one!
Thinking of this, Li Muyang said arrogantly: "Go!" Let's go into town! The person behind him agreed, and rushed towards the Dark King Capital with him.
Li Muyang didn't know that under the impetus of people with hearts, a campaign to hit the hillbilly and save the princess and goddess was in full swing.
Among them, Li Muyang is portrayed as a down-and-out hillbilly; But it was this hillbilly who persuaded the orcs with his clever mouth and said that he had become a generation of famous generals; And it has also won the favor of Princess Boomer and Goddess Blis, which is a step to the sky!
Is it tolerable or intolerable? Uncle can endure it, and aunt can't bear it! Everyone was holding back to teach this hillbilly a good lesson.
Queen Catherine also heard the news of this, although she admired Li Muyang's talent, it did not mean that she thought he was worthy of Boomer; Therefore, Her Royal Highness did not stop it, but waited to see Li Muyang's performance.
The news that Li Muyang had come to the Dark Royal Capital blew up in the city. Many young talents spontaneously gathered to give Li Muyang a good look; Among them is also the prince of the Iron and Blood Kingdom, Mateus, who came to woo the little princess this time.
Mateus is only twenty-four years old this year, and he is already a master of the fifth level; and tied the fifteenth place in the ranking of the hidden dragon; Two places taller than this Bellis; It's amazing.
It is said that his ability is completely in line with the standard of the prince, but there is also this demonic brother Beckenbauer above him. Beckenbauer is twenty-nine years old this year, and he is already an eighth-level master, and has long occupied the first place in the hidden dragon list of elites under the age of 30.
