Chapter 1090 Don’t cooperate with stupid people
When we first heard about the tax, we felt that the world was so absurd that even gods could not escape taxation. But when we heard about the six mourning undead soldiers and a sword master of truth, we asked, “Is Leo serious?”
Nagris said: "They sent out half of their mourning undead soldiers, but they were wiped out by Ogar. There are only six left, right? Send them all at once? Don't they want their main plane anymore?"
"You don't think their only high-end combat power is the Undead Mourning Soldiers? Then you underestimate these human empires." Anthony shook his head and said:
"If we only talk about the level of organization, the Church is far inferior to the country. The Church only manages thoughts, but the country manages hundreds of millions of people. The level of organization of the two is not at the same level at all."
"When I was in the main plane, I was not worried about the Church, but I was very afraid of those human empires. Because when they mobilized, their manpower and material resources were too terrible, and they could wear us out to death. Now we haven't really come into contact with these human countries in the alliance, but don't think that the mourning undead soldiers will be their main combat force."
Nagris asked doubtfully, “Isn’t it?”
"Of course not. It's impossible. The Undead Mourning Soldiers are obviously pawns planted by the Great Ruler in the various allied countries. If I were the top leaders of these countries, I would also resolutely marginalize them and cultivate my own top combat power. Have you forgotten the two Undead Mourning Soldiers who were sent out to serve as bodyguards for the nobles?"
At this point, Anthony gestured at Duroken. This body of Duroken belonged to the two mourning undead soldiers who were sent out as bodyguards.
This obvious marginalization move proves that the allied countries did not regard the Mourning Undead Soldiers as their main force, so they must have their own high-end combat power.
"They don't even need the Mourning Undead Soldiers? Then what high-end combat power do they have?" Nagris asked puzzledly.
"Don't underestimate these human countries, especially the humans here who have a kind of original power. Even the human sword master can fight against the mourning undead soldiers. You see, the Great Governor did not release Britt and other mourning lords who possess the original power, the purple-gold bone dragon, and the things in the coffins he dragged. He was also on guard against those humans." Anthony said.
"Tsk..." Nagris felt a little annoyed: "You humans are so complicated. You are always on guard against this and that. You have such dirty hearts."
"Yeah, unlike you dragons, who are so kind, simple and cute, and are almost extinct." Anthony sighed.
"Ugh!" Negris was so angry that he wanted to spit.
"So these guys who come to collect taxes are not necessarily the people in power in the Rio Royal Court. They may also be marginalized dignitaries. Let's go back and take a look and make a specific decision. If he is powerful, what does it matter if he pays taxes? I would be happy to contract all the taxes of the Rio system and be a tax farmer, haha." Anthony smiled kindly.
While they were chatting, the silver coins were ready, and Ang used his hands to create a teleportation array to teleport everyone back.
Ang and his group were teleported out to a more secluded corner of the Sea of Omniscience. Silver Coin used the excuse of looking for someone and ran far away so that the vibrations of the teleportation would not alarm the other party.
Everyone teleported out, and Silver Coin hurried forward to report: "The leader is a Sword Saint of Truth named Gulalata Rio, with six mourning undead soldiers and more than a dozen airships. He knew nothing about the Sea of Omniscience and just started talking about collecting taxes, May Day taxes."
"Pfft... May Day tax? Leo? The royal family? Who did this unfortunate kid offend?" Even a guy like Negris who thought that 'humans are so complicated' couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard about the May Day tax. He instantly understood what Anthony meant by marginalization.
This unfortunate kid has obviously been fooled or framed and can no longer distinguish reality.
The Sea of Omniscience is a plane that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The first thing you need to invade here is a strong navy, otherwise you can't even get to the bottom of the water.
The Rio Royal Court had never established rule here, but for the sake of food trade and economic exchanges, the Sea of Omniscience had to pay tribute and taxes to the Rio Court, forming a vassal relationship. However, the tax rate was basically around a few thousandths, and occasionally, if the court was in a bad mood, it would not pay.
If the Rio royal court wants to conquer this place, the cost will be huge and the gains will not outweigh the losses, so they can only impose an economic blockade.
If they feel uncomfortable here, they will resume paying taxes, and the Court of Rio will generally accept it. Because of the teleportation array, the economic blockade cannot destroy the economy of the Sea of Omniscience. At most, they can spend a little more money and directly use the teleportation array to trade, or engage in re-export trade. The void is so vast that the Court of Rio cannot block all smuggling activities.
Everyone is just in a vassal relationship, and paying taxes is a matter of fate. This Gulalata came and directly asked for the May Day tax. If he was not hit on the head by the dwarf, then he was fooled by others.
Moreover, his last name is Leo, which makes him obviously a royal family of Leo, and the meaning of this is even more intriguing.
Everyone came to the island on the water and saw Clarata Rio. At this moment, he was wearing a cloak, wrapping his head, face, hands and feet tightly. He was flying on the water, looking at a pile of algae curiously.
After the light disaster, the Sea of Omniscience became almost the most suitable environment for the growth of algae. With sufficient nutrients, the seaweed floating to the surface quickly grew and produced plump algae.
Not only did algae grow, but its growth activities also changed the environment on the water surface. The air density in the water area near the algae was higher than elsewhere.
Originally, there was only a thin layer of air above the surface of the Sea of Omniscience, which was not very suitable for biological activities. However, after the growth of algae, the density of the air slowly increased, changing in a direction that was more suitable for biological activities. If it continues like this, the surface of the Sea of Omniscience might become habitable.
However, this kind of change is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Even the algae are inconspicuous because they float on the water. Only when you get close can you discover their huge size.
Clara had his hands behind his back, observing the water surface as if inspecting something. When he saw Silver Coin coming back, he glanced at Silver Coin and Anthony and the others, then turned around and beckoned, "Hey, come here. What are these? They look delicious."
Silver Coin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Anthony.
Anthony immediately smiled, nodded, and whispered, "You are the master and I am the assistant."
Silver Coin pinched his three fingers twice, which was a businessman's habitual gesture, meaning "secure", indicating that he understood and had the confidence to complete the main attack. After making the gesture, he rubbed his hands, bent his waist, and moved towards Clara Tower.
Anthony followed with his back bent, but was stopped by the mourning undead soldiers before he could get close. Silver Coin quickly said, "This is Priest Anthony. Please ask him to answer for the prince."
Clarata waved her hand: "Let him come over."
Anthony passed the mourning undead soldiers and approached Clara Tower. When he was about five or six meters away from Clara Tower, a gold coin suddenly popped out of the silver coin, and said at the same time: "My lord, this is a lucky gold coin. I wish you double the luck."
Everyone reacted subconsciously to this sudden change. When Clara heard that it was a gold coin, which also looked glittering, she subconsciously reached out to take it. However, two of the mourning undead soldiers shouted urgently, "Sir, be careful, there is divine power..."
Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. Clarata retracted his palm upon hearing this, but the gold coin did not retract and continued to roll forward and touched his fingertips.
Clara Tower froze.
Silver Coin turned the purse over and put Clarata directly into the purse from head to toe.
Anthony raised his scepter and swung it in the air, blocking the route of the mourning undead soldiers who were rushing over. Then he smashed them a few times, forced them back, and turned the scepter over to hit the purse, as if he was going to stab it in.
"If his attitude had been better, there would have been a chance for cooperation. Unfortunately, we don't cooperate with people who are too stupid." Anthony muttered.
