In Xiaozhen Changkong's opinion, once the Radiance Village and the Heaven-Shattering Guild signed an agreement that would never be violated in the future, even if Ling Chen was a dark Chen Cang, and really secretly went to the City Lord's Mansion to get the right to unlimited expansion, he would not be able to threaten the Heaven-Shattering Guild in the future.

What's more, even signing this kind of agreement makes it clear that he has no intention of fighting for the dominance of the main city, and the possibility of going to the city lord's mansion to find a way to get the right to unlimited expansion is very small.

The two sides reached a tacit understanding and soon negotiated. One is the patron saint of Guanghui Village, and the other is the president of the Shocking Guild, and the two officially set their intention to cooperate.

The rest of the matter, only the details remain, Xiao Zhen Changkong summoned the high-level of the Shocking Guild, and Ling Chen also contacted the affectionate and unrighteous, asking them to settle the details first, and then rush to the negotiation place within the agreed time.

Early the next morning, the people of the two sides formally sat down at the negotiating table, and it took only two or three hours for the two sides to be completely settled, with the cooperation of both sides without further ado and great sincerity. There are not many small details, and there is only one big one, whether it is this cooperation or a non-aggression agreement, whoever breaches the contract must compensate a huge amount of tens of millions of gold coins.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ling Chen rushed to the location of the evil eradication army.

The camp of the evil army is located on Jinhan Mountain, the largest in Yuhan City, stretching for thousands of miles, and almost all the camp tents of the evil army can be seen.

Ling Chen continued to advance towards the mountain through the periphery of the various garrisons, reaching the top of the mountain, where a huge cottage came into view.

This cottage was originally the largest Qingshi village in Jinhan Mountain, and there were more than 100,000 thieves in the village. Now it has been taken down by the evil eradication army. It became the base camp of the evil army.

Stations of other armies. It's just that there are a few defensive lines arranged on the periphery, and the base camp is more tight, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the cottage will begin to be deployed three or four miles away, as soon as Ling Chen stepped in, there was an archer knight on the façade flashing out from a mess of rocks.

"Stop, this is the station of the evil army, and idlers are not allowed to enter." The leader of the squad raised the longbow in his hand, and although he did not pull the string with the bow, his face was solemn.

"I've come to see Descartes, the leader of the Evil Eradication Army. As soon as the trouble was reported, it was said that the old friend asked to see the sunset and the stars. Ling Chen replied politely.

The squad leader lost his mind for a moment, looked Ling Chen up and down a few times, and whispered a few words to an archer beside him. The knight immediately turned around and left.

The rest of the archers didn't dare to slack off, and stared at Ling Chen one by one, to prevent him from suddenly coming in.

Ling Chen stood still and waited patiently, waiting for more than an hour. Finally, a team of more than ten people appeared behind the bow knight team, and when these more than ten people approached quickly, the first one was a Chinese face, with a dark face and a set of black armor. The momentum is extraordinary.

Seeing Ling Chen, Dahan's already fast-paced pace immediately accelerated, almost rushing all the way to the front.

Vaguely feeling a little familiar, Ling Chen suddenly realized, this big man should be Descartes.

"Adventurer, it's really you!"

The person who came was Descartes, all the way to Ling Chen, excitement and ecstasy surged on his face, as if he had seen a great benefactor. In fact, it was Ling Chen who killed the village chief and his son in the first place. Saved the entire village of Liwa without receiving any payment.

"It's me! Deska, I can't believe that you have become the leader of the evil army. Ling Chen nodded, acting as affectionate as possible.

"Just luck. And everybody supports me. Adventurer, please follow me into the stockade. Descartes was thrilled. He waved his hand to the few people who followed: "Inform me to prepare a sumptuous dinner in the kitchen, except for the armament, all officers at the level of captain must be present." ”

"Yes!" Several people responded one after another and took the lead in returning to the cottage to prepare.

Ling Chen didn't say much, the more respectful Descartes was, the more promising things he had come. Although he is a gamer, he is not too interested in the food in the game, but it doesn't hurt to eat a meal. …,

"Adventurer, please!"

Descartes gestured towards the cottage.

Ling Chen nodded and strode forward, followed by Descartes taking a few quick steps to lead the way.

Unimpeded into the village, all the way to patrol like a cow's hair, walked for more than half an hour, the two arrived at the main building lobby of the cottage.

Inside, candles as white as snow danced on the candlesticks with a fiery red light, and these lights came together to light up the entire lobby even brighter than the outside.

At Descartes' insistence, Ling Chen came to the first seat and sat down, not directly explaining his intentions, but asking Descartes about his experience for more than a year.

Descartes started from Ling Chen's departure from Liwa Village, to the main city to raise taxes and send troops to encircle and suppress Liwa Village for the affairs of the village chief's father and son, and then led the whole village to resist together, and inadvertently obtained this skill book The strength of the skill book has increased greatly, and slowly the evil army has grown stronger. By the time Descartes had finished his more than one-year experience, the dinner had been prepared, and the captains and officers of the rank and above had already arrived.

At Descartes' order, long tables were set up in the spacious lobby, and the dishes were not exquisite, but rich and thick.

The two chatted while eating, and Ling Chen had to entertain the captain and leader of the evil army from time to time, and he ate a meal for more than three hours until nightfall.

Descartes can become the leader of the evil army, and his intelligence is naturally not bad, Ling Chen knew that he had something to discuss, seeing that Ling Chen was not too anxious, and he didn't want to refuse to affect Ling Chen's mood because things exceeded his bottom line, so he never took the initiative to inquire. After the dinner, seeing that Ling Chen seemed to be planning to discuss his intentions, he immediately led him into his study.

There are not rows of bookshelves in the study, but rows of weapon racks, on which all kinds of large knives dazzle in the candlelight, exuding a terrifying light. After Descartes closed the door and took his seat at both ends of the desk, Ling Chen went straight to the point: "Descartes, I came to Jinhan Mountain to find you this time, I believe you should have guessed that I had something to do, right?" ”

Descartes nodded slowly.

"I recently got the news that in half a month, the largest guild in Jade Han City, the Shocking Guild, will officially declare war on the main city, I don't know what you think?" Ling Chen asked.

"The Heaven-shattering Guild has declared war on the main city?" Descartes frowned slightly: "Although the strength of the Adventurer's Guild is strong, it shouldn't have enough strength to attack the main city, this earth-shattering guild, will it be too hasty?" ”

Ling Chen shook his head with a smile: "The Heaven-shattering Guild has already received the support of most adventurers, and there are a large number of powerful adventurers who are willing to join the Heaven-Shattering Guild at any time to participate in the attack on the main city, with this strength, it is not difficult to take the main city." ”

"If there are a large number of powerful adventurers willing to join the Astounding Guild, there is indeed a chance to capture the main city, drive Oliver out of the distance, or even kill him." Descartes couldn't help nodding, thought about it, and said, "Don't hide it from the adventurer, I have always said that I don't support or oppose the adventurer's guild and Oliver's enemy. After all, the Adventurer's Guild is purely for the sake of profit to be the enemy of the main city, and it can't feel the suffering of the people, and they may not be the second Oliver if they take the main city. ”

"You can rest assured at this point, the leader of the Heaven-shattering Guild, Xiao Zhen Changkong, has decided that after taking the ruling power of the main city, all kinds of taxes on the people will be reduced by 90 percent, only one percent of the original." Ling Chen spoke.

"Really?" Descartes was surprised: "After the Shocking Guild takes over the ruling power of the main city, the tax is only 10% of the original?" ”

"It's true!" Ling Chen nodded, he didn't ask how Xiao Zhen Changkong would tax the NPC people after taking the ruling power of the main city, but he had accidentally seen a post about taxes on the forum before, this post combined data, information and various surveys, and concluded that the tax was five percent of the income of all the people under the jurisdiction of the main city, and beyond this ratio, the increase in the people's favorability towards the main city would slow down, and if it was too high, it would even reduce the favorability. If the tax is lower than this percentage, although the favorability will increase faster, it is likely to cause a lot of negative effects that are not inferior to the tax increase. …,

Five percent, which is almost exactly ten percent of Oliver's taxes.

For NPC city lords, the player's taxes are collected by the system, and only the people's taxes are collected in the main city warehouse, so the people's taxes are the majority. For the player city lord, it is the opposite, after the player guild takes the main city, the player's taxes will be owned by the main city, the people are just farming and opening some small shops, the tax is only a small head, and the player monopolizes the medicine, equipment and other industries, and the tax is far higher than the people's taxes.

In order to increase the favorability of the people and ensure that there is a steady stream of NPC soldiers in the future, the player city lord will have no problem even if he does not accept it or even post it upside down. Therefore, no matter who takes the ruling power of the main city, as long as the head is not broken, it is impossible to loot the NPC people, and it will only continue to lighten the burden on them. Naturally, the same is true of the Shocking Guild, even if there may be some discrepancies in the post, but the discrepancies are definitely not too big, as can be seen from the other main cities that have been taken over by the players' guilds, basically the taxes on players remain the same, and the taxes on NPC people have dropped significantly, and several main cities are even trying to tax exemption and invest a lot of gold coins to encourage NPC people to open up wasteland and produce in order to be ahead of other main cities.

"If the Shocking Guild really wants to take over the ruling power of the main city, it can reduce the tax to the level only of the Oliver period......" Descartes stood up, "I am willing to lead the evil eradication army to help the Shocking Guild." ”

Ling Chen smiled and pressed his hand: "Don't worry, you don't need the help of the evil army." ”

"Don't you need the help of the evil army?"

Descartes was a little confused, he still thought that Ling Chen's intention was to persuade the evil army to help the Shocking Guild. For Ling Chen's face, coupled with the fact that he really had no intention of ruling the main city, and it was a good thing that the Heaven-shattering Guild would be able to significantly reduce taxes after taking the ruling power of the main city, he was not willing to send troops to help after confirming the authenticity of the news.

As a result, Ling Chen's tone was not intended to be this.

Ling Chen nodded, he had already made up his mind to let the Evil Eradication Army become a part of Radiance Village, how could he let the Evil Eradication Army participate in the city battle of the Heaven-shattering Guild and suffer losses for no reason. Anyway, the agreement with the Astounding Guild is just to ensure that the Evil Eradication Army will not suddenly attack behind, and it is not a mistake to lose its own interests in vain and give a generous gift to the Astounding Guild.
