However, the vast majority of slave hunters chose to refuse to pay taxes, and even openly fought when they encountered cavalry patrols checking taxes. In just one month, there were six cavalry patrols, totaling hundreds of cavalrymen who were killed by the slave regiment. The slave hunting group is extremely ruthless, and once they do, they often leave no room to live. Even a large group of slave hunters openly attacked one of Richard's tax-collecting strongholds, killing hundreds of people, from the tax collector to the guards, leaving not a single one. The corpses were stripped naked and stuck on wooden stakes and stood around the tax collection points.

For a time, the remaining five tax collection points set up by Richard in the northwest region were in danger.

The slave catchers are all fierce outlaws. They have always been the source of instability, all of them are extremely fierce and bloodthirsty, and their years of outlaw life have made these master slave hunters unruly, and it is difficult for them to obey their orders.

However, Gangde and the Battle Priest are not easy to mess with, the former comes from a death training camp and regards killing people as commonplace. The latter stands on the standpoint of God, believing that the extermination of disobedient heretics is to do their duty to God, so they are even more fanatical than Gangde. Although the starting points of the two men are completely different, they have a high degree of similarity in their attitude towards the enemy, that is, to strike hard and never tolerate them.

Yi and Russia even shouted the slogan that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.

Therefore, Gangde and Yio took five hundred humanoid knights and began to patrol the area where the Northwest Slave Catcher was active. Gangde released the news early on that when the group saw him, they must immediately disarm and undergo a thorough body search. All slave hunters who do not lay down their arms, or even those who are too late to lay down their weapons, will be killed!

The theory of Iran and Russia is that as long as there are slaves to be captured, then there will never be a shortage of slave hunting groups, and if this batch is killed, there will be the next batch. This is his theory of carrion: if there is carrion, there will always be flies.

This command, full of domineering and brutality, immediately caused an uproar in the Iron Triangle Empire and even in the Sequoia Kingdom, and the voices against Richard were heard endlessly. Most of the slave hunting groups are supported by the nobles of various countries, and the rebellion against Richard's tax collection is actually at the behest of the nobles behind the scenes. In fact, Richard's taxes were not heavy, but the entire bloodstained land was taken together, and the benefits reached an astronomical amount, enough to make anyone blush. Therefore, many nobles secretly wished that Richard was unlucky, and the slightly better ones thought that Richard had collected enough money, and it was nothing less than this tax. The darker ones hoped that Richard's rule in the Bloodstained Lands would fall, or at least not be stable enough, so that they could play a role in it.

The fat of the Bloodstained Land was so big that almost no one wanted to see Cheng Dù swallowed by Richard alone. It's just that these nobles have forgotten about it, and Richard has only been in Faro for more than two years. Before Richard, the Bloodstained Land existed for I don't know how many years. At that time, the Bloodstained Lands were not fat at all, but terrifying areas that only outlaws and adventurers dared to penetrate. Being able to insert a foot in the Blue Water Oasis like the Marquis of Strength Anrik is already the limit of what the nobles can do.

The nobles, however, ignored the bloodstained land that no one had been able to gnaw on for many years, but Richard succeeded in sweeping it within two years, and defeated the Iron Triangle Empire and the Mage Guild coalition army successively. The nobles were more afraid of the alien races that had previously entrenched themselves in the bloodstained lands, but not very afraid of Richard, although the former was almost uprooted by the latter. This is also in line with the general psychology of human beings, that is, more awe of unfamiliar things.

Regardless of the state of mind of the nobles at the moment, the two war maniacs Gangde and Yiou began to act according to their own plans. On the first day, they encountered three slave hunters, three of whom were not inferior and defiantly resisted. After all, there are not enough knights brought by Gangde, and five hundred knights are just bigger horse bandits. No matter how fierce the horse bandits, if they encounter a slave hunting group, they have to take a detour. But the difference between five hundred cavalry and five hundred knights is essential.

Therefore, on the first day, Gangde fought three fierce battles, killing more than 700 slave hunters, killing more than 40 horsemen, and robbing thousands of foreign slaves. The next day, around the uprooted tax collection point, there were more than 700 wooden stakes, all of which were nailed to the slave catchers to accompany the dead at the tax collection point.

The battle was like wings, and in an instant it spread throughout the kingdoms around the Bloodstained Lands. One of the three slave hunters was the Marquis of the Sequoia Kingdom, and he was so angry that he sent an envoy to Bluewater Oasis City to protest, but the envoy was shelved in the hotel. Both Gangde and Iran are fighting abroad, so how can they have time to return to Oasis City once just to meet the envoy of the Marquis? This envoy was naturally extremely angry, but he had no choice but to wait day by day.

Over the next few days, Gangde intercepted two smaller slave traps, both of whom had few behind-the-scenes supporters and had honestly registered to pay their taxes, thus being able to pass through unharmed.

However, less than a week after the peaceful days, Gangde encountered the biggest challenge, a warrior of nearly four hundred, and a slave hunting group led by a strong man of the Holy Domain, the Orca!

When the two sides met, a fierce battle broke out without any suspense. The battle was extremely fierce, and Gangde himself was wounded in more than a dozen places, the most serious being a deep stab in the abdomen. The number of slave hunters who died under the giant axe of Gangde was more than forty, and this was the result of Gangde's battle with the powerhouses of the opponent's Sanctuary for most of the time. For the first time, the Battle Priest depleted his powers before the battle was over, and then he swung a scepter that could be used as a flail, smashing the heads of at least a dozen enemy warriors. The Battle Priest was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and he had suffered two big losses under Richard.

In the second half of the battle, the brood finally sent an order from the turbulent lands and directly took over the control of the humanoid knight. And so the shocking scene happened.

A group of humanoid knights rushed towards the opponent's Sacred Domain powerhouse without forgetting their lives, they didn't care about the pain on their bodies at all, and they didn't dodge the attack at all, they only wanted to insert the axe gun and giant sword in their hands into the body of the Sacred Domain powerhouse! It wasn't until this moment that the humanoid knights really revealed their terrifyingness, these were killing machines that didn't know any fear at all, and they didn't care about the pain. The whole point of their existence is to send the weapon in their hands into the body of the enemy. Even the strongest people with a strong will will instinctively react when they suffer trauma on their bodies, but at this moment, the brood directly cut off the pain of the humanoid knight! No matter how terrifying the wound on the humanoid knight's body is, it is as if it is cut into a log, and it does not affect their charging and slashing movements.

There were even some humanoid knights who spewed out large chunks of internal organs from the wounds under their ribs when they slashed with their axes, but their axes were not distorted or weakened in a slightest.

In the face of such an enemy, even the strongest-willed will sooner or later collapse and go berserk. That Sacred Domain powerhouse only lasted for a while, and then his spirit collapsed, and he roared into the final madness!

When the Sanctuary powerhouse finally fell, he had at least thirty wounds on his body, and more than a dozen axe, spear and giant swords stuck in him, almost nailing him into a hedgehog. Around him, the corpses of more than thirty humanoid knights were piled upside down, almost forming a small mountain.

The tragic scene made Gangde and Yiou also lose their voices.

From the moment the brood began to intervene, even Gangde couldn't intervene in the battle situation here, and the humanoid knights followed one after another, filling every space that could be used around the powerhouse of the Sanctuary Domain.

Looking at the corpse of the Sacred Domain powerhouse, Gangde felt indescribably strange and awkward in his heart, and finally he could only sigh. He is armed with force, and he can be regarded as a strong man in Faro. Seeing that this respectable opponent was finally killed by the humanoid knight alive, any strong person would feel a relative.

For a moment, both Gangde and I'o couldn't help but think about what they should do if they encountered such an enemy? They were both people with extraordinary combat intelligence, and in the blink of an eye, they thought of the only way to deal with it, which was to flee as far as they could before the humanoid knights surrounded them. Once surrounded by a sufficient number of humanoid knights, there is no chance of survival.

After controlling the humanoid knight to besiege and kill the powerhouse of the Sanctuary, the will of the brood quietly faded from the battlefield. However, the movements of the soldiers of the slave hunting group were obviously slowed down, and many people couldn't help but look at the scene of the death of the strong man in the holy realm, the bloody flesh and blood flew in those few minutes, and finally the terrible and unwilling roar of the strong man was still lingering in their ears and eyes!

The will to fight of the Orca warriors was taken away, but the Humanoid Knights remained the same. Not only in the eyes of their opponents, but even in the eyes of Gangde and Io, these humanoid knights are indescribable demons. While it is tragic to be their opponent, it is also unpleasant to fight alongside them. Although the humanoid knights resumed receiving orders from Gangde and Io, they lost their minds for a moment and forgot what kind of battle orders they should give.

However, the Orca warriors had completely lost their fighting spirit, and the battle situation was one-sided in an instant. The orca warriors screamed and began to flee in all directions. Only then did Gangde and Yio react and led their team to chase and kill, but in the end they let dozens of fighters escape, and they had no intention of chasing.

In this battle, the combat strength of the two sides was basically equal, and the Gangde side only had a slight advantage, but the final result was that the humanoid knights paid the price of more than a hundred horsemen, and almost completely annihilated the orca slave hunting group. The turning point of the battle was the sudden intervention of the brood.

After this battle, Gangde and Io understood how to use the humanoid knight. But they invariably buried the matter deep in their hearts and never mentioned it again.

At this time, in the middle of the Bloodstained Lands, an unusually large insect was flying in the sky a few hundred meters above the ground. It has a huge chest, a small head, and a constricted belly, and its three pairs of wings vibrate rapidly, allowing it to fly at a speed of about 100 kilometers in the air. Around it, dozens of battle bats also fluttered, like a small aerial legion, skimming over the Bloodstained Lands.
