Chapter 1204: Paying taxes and eating (seeking a monthly pass)
St. Brian looked at Hagrid's body on the ground with pity and said: "Smartness is useless when it is not used in the right place, it is just stupidity.
May God forgive your sinful soul.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, made the sign of a cross on Hagrid's body, and silently recited a few prayers.
Leo didn't even look at the corpse on the ground. He just looked at the mountains in the distance and sighed: Today is really unlucky.
In order to maintain the tranquility of the earth and defend world peace, the dignified chairman of the Flying Eagle Group rolled up his sleeves and personally fought this difficult battle.
In the middle, there was a lich and a dark mage. It took a lot of effort to smooth them out. What was the result?
Unexpectedly, I didn’t get any loot at all~!
Moreover, the huge expenses required for this battle may not be reimbursed anywhere. It seems that the only way is to pay for it yourself.
And the most hateful thing is that in the end, all the advantages were taken by that old bastard Russell.
This made Chairman Leo, who never made a loss-making business, very angry.
If Mr. Lei hadn't always been broad-minded, he would have exploded with anger.
Leo waved his hand, turned around and walked back to the war fortress, saying unhappily: "Xiaobai, let's go. The people here are really poor, stupid, and really boring."
"Let's go." Lorraine also felt that everything was almost done. He waved to everyone around him and said, "There are still things to do next."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the war fortress.
When Patriarch Hagrid's strong body fell to the ground, the barbarians who stretched their necks to watch were stunned.
They all opened their eyes wide, waiting for the result of the first contact between Hagrid and the God of War Rohan.
The optimistic guys are already looking forward to a happy future where the God of War will lead them to defeat the Ruman people and regain their beautiful homeland.
Just as they were sitting there dreaming, imagining that the barbarians who had been oppressed for a thousand years would finally rise up, come to the territory of the human race, grab money, things, and women, and live a happy life like the prince and princess in the fairy tale...
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after Hagrid said a few words to the divine warrior, he was killed by the divine warrior without any warning.
Although I didn't see how he did it, I couldn't learn two tricks from him. But he was a divine warrior. He had killed tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of devils. Killing just one Hagrid was not an easy task.
The barbarians present were shocked at the time and didn't know what Hagrid said, which offended the god warriors and made them angry.
The barbarian's first thought was to jump up and run away.
Who knows if the angry god warriors will kill them too. They can't withstand the thunder and fire falling from the sky.
However, they knew clearly that they could not escape the flying palace. They were so frightened that they trembled on the spot and did not even dare to breathe. They prayed in their hearts that all the sins were Hagrid's alone, but they must not be counted among them.
on their heads,
I waited uneasily for a long time, but there was no movement in the flying palace above my head. It seemed that the worst case did not happen.
At this time, the divine warrior on the top of the hill in the distance was about to walk back, obviously to return to the palace. Maybe he would go directly back to the sky. The nervous barbarian could not sit still.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this time, you don’t know when you will see it again in the future.
However, according to the legends told by the priests.
Only priests and clan leaders who have obtained level 4 or 6 qualification certificates are eligible for such extremely high-end technological spells, such as communicating with divine warriors.
But in the battle just now, those priests were either killed or had fled to the very back. Even the few who stayed behind were ready to make a move at first. But when they saw Hagrid's disagreement, they were killed by the opponent.
They all immediately turned into turtles with their heads shrunk, unwilling to show their heads even if they were killed.
At this time, under their gaze, the people in Lorraine were getting further and further away.
One step, two steps, three steps...
They were getting closer and closer to the flying palace, and were about to climb the steps.
Those barbarians all knew that once the other party boarded the palace, they would fly away immediately.
If you don't speak now, you will never have another chance in the future.
But...but Hagrid's body was lying there, and no one else was qualified...
These barbarians are engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in their hearts. They are like extremely tired travelers in the desert. They see an oasis within reach in front of them, but there is no strength in their bodies.
They were burning with anxiety in their hearts, but they did not dare to speak out.
Seeing Lorraine boarding the war fortress, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang: "Wait a minute."
As soon as the sound came out, everyone around them turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound with expressions of surprise.
The divine warriors on the top of the slope seemed to have heard his call, and they all stopped.
I saw a barbarian with red paint on his face standing blankly in the crowd. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he could not imagine that he would shout these words out of nowhere.
The person next to him pushed him hard and whispered: "Sabok, you are crazy, Hagrid was just killed by them."
Sabok stammered: "I...I didn't, I'm not, I didn't mean it..."
At this time, the divine warriors on the top of the slope had stopped and turned to look in the direction of the conversation. It seemed that they had noticed him.
Sabok was so frightened that he almost cried: He might die if he went up.
The people next to him were unwilling, and pushed him angrily, saying: "The divine warriors have already seen this, do you want to kill us?
Get over here~!"
The people nearby were afraid of being implicated by this talkative fool, so they immediately punched, kicked, and pushed forward and backward, squeezing the unlucky guy out of the crowd and pushing him to the front.
"Go quickly, go quickly, get up here~!" Behind Sabok, a group of barbarians were holding weapons and gesticulating to threaten him.
Lorraine saw a barbarian walking out of the crowd and waved to him, signaling for his people to let him go.
The barbarian was stunned for a full three minutes, and then like a polio patient, he moved over bit by bit with staggering steps, and stopped about ten meters away from Lorraine, no longer daring to
He took a step forward. Then he kept glancing at Hagrid's body on the ground, trembling with fear.
Lorraine looked him up and down. He was a standard barbarian with dirty fur, a big nose and small eyes, and gaping black teeth in his mouth.
Seeing that he remained silent, Lorraine could only ask: "Who are you?"
"My name is, Sa, Saabok." Saabok said cautiously: "Saabok from Lindenheim."
"What's the matter?"
Sabok waved his hands repeatedly and said anxiously: "No, no."
"A fool." Lorraine concluded in her mind, shrugged and prepared to leave.
"That..." Sabok suddenly raised his hand, but immediately retracted it.
Lorraine applied impatiently and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Sabok trembled with fright, hesitated for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "Well, Lord God Envoy, what should we do?"
Although on the battlefield, everyone shouted "Rohan" loudly to attract them. But everyone knew that the legendary God of War was nine feet tall, stronger than a bear, and had golden hair and beard.
And Lorraine and his group don't look like the legendary God of War Rohan.
Since he is not the war god Rohan, he is naturally a god warrior.
However, Lorraine was not interested in correcting him, and said angrily: "Do you need me to teach you this? Clean up all the undead everywhere and cremate all the corpses to avoid a plague outbreak in the summer."
"Yes, yes," Sabok said submissively: "Then...then where?"
"Then..." Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "Go and raze Aldheim. That city should not appear on this continent."
"Then what?"
Lorraine curled her lips impatiently and said, "No more, it'll be good if you can finish this."
Sabok said in surprise: "You won't lead us to fight against the Rumans?"
There was a burst of mocking laughter from the surrounding divine warriors, and Sabok felt baffled.
Leo put his hands behind his back and walked up to Lorraine with a small square step. Then he looked up and down at the barbarian standing in front of him: Well, he is silly, he should be easy to deceive.
He bared his teeth, smiled, and then showed off his usual vigor when selling products, saying: "You can't defeat the Ruman people. Just tell me what I said when you get back. When the Ruman people come, just revolt and surrender. It's better than dying."
.”
Sabok was a little dumbfounded. He did not expect that the divine warrior not only did not cover him, but also opened his mouth and asked them to surrender to the enemy.
This...what's going on?
Leo said: "Besides, what's wrong with taking refuge with the Ruman people? If you hang out with the Ruman people, you can have enough food and clothing, and you don't have to live in a big ravine. Ruman won't steal your wife, so why aren't you willing?
?
I really can’t figure it out.”
Sabok was startled for a moment and felt that it made sense.
He thought to himself: Yes, what's wrong with taking refuge with the Ruman people? They don't kill children or rob women. I heard that the tribes in Shannan who take refuge with the Ruman people can eat bread every day.
Bread, it is said that it is a good thing. Although I don’t know why it is so good, everyone says it is a good thing, so it must be a good thing.
At this time, Sabok suddenly remembered what the clan leader had taught them. He suddenly realized and said angrily: "The Ruman people want us to pay taxes.
We savages are a free people and never pay taxes."
"Tch~!" Leo glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Sir, I am too lazy to tell you idiots in the early stages of slavery society about the high... high... high... profound principles of social economics.
"
Every time he said the word "high", he raised his right hand to a higher level, and finally raised his hand above his head and stood on tiptoes to show that Lei Erye had profound knowledge and understood the profound and profound aspects of social economics at such a high level.
reason.
Although the barbarian was a little stupid, listening to Leo's tone, he knew that the other person was mocking his ignorance. He couldn't help but blush in shame.
At this time, I heard Leo continue to say: "Let me ask you a question. Now that you don't pay taxes, are you full? Are the people of the Ruman Empire who pay taxes hungry?"
Sabok thought about it seriously and suddenly felt dizzy.
You know, usually in the tribe, whoever has big legs and thick arms will be able to eat more if he robs more. If someone robs someone else, he will be hungry.
But now, the little fat man said: Those who give things to others can eat enough, but those who don’t give things to others will not be full.
It seems very illogical, but it seems very realistic. After all, no one has heard that the barbarians in Shannan don't have enough to eat. But when the women here heard that the barbarians from Shannan were coming for a blind date, their eyes lit up green.
, scrambling to get out.
He thought for a long time, and finally shook his head honestly and said: "No."
Leo chuckled, rubbed his little hands proudly, and said, "Would you rather pay taxes and be full, or would you rather not pay taxes and starve to death?"
Sabok, who was often hungry, naturally believed that being able to have a full meal every day was the greatest happiness in life. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I am willing not to pay taxes and have enough to eat."
Leo suddenly let out a 'burp' and was so angry that he almost lost his breath. He beat his chest for a long time before he recovered.
Who says this barbarian is stupid?
This is not a good idea to take advantage of.
And he still takes advantage of as many advantages as he can, even more ruthless than Mr. Lei.
He let out a long breath. Then he cursed: "***, you fool is quite clever. You will take advantage of all the advantages in the world.
Young Master, I am lucky to have a good father. Otherwise, you would have to be the chairman of the board."
The faces of everyone around him couldn't help but contorted for a while, and they couldn't help but laugh or cry. This man was very outspoken and dared to tell the truth.
Leo paused for a moment, then stamped his foot and shouted angrily: "You bastard, listen up. You can only choose one of the two, not multiple choices."
Sabok blinked and couldn't figure out why the other party was angry. But then he answered honestly: "I choose to pay taxes and have enough to eat."
"It's over now." Leo spread his hands and concluded: "Go back and tell them. As long as you join the Ruman Empire, you will be able to have enough to eat every day."
There was a hesitant expression on Sabok's face, but he finally shook his head and said, "The patriarch won't let me."
Leo jumped up in anger, pointed at him and cursed: "Stupid, you won't kill the clan leader if he doesn't let you eat enough. Take the clan leader's head to Ruman, and the Ruman people will make you the new clan leader.
.”
Sabok suddenly understood, nodded vigorously, and said: "That's right, I will kill him if he doesn't let me eat enough."
Leo put his hands on his hips, puffed out his plump belly and laughed proudly, saying: "Just what I said, everyone will have enough to eat when the Ruman people come. If anyone doesn't let you have enough to eat, you will
Fuck him."
"Since it is the order of the Divine Envoy, I must tell them." Although Sabok felt a little awkward in his heart, what he said must make sense since the other party defeated the divine warriors of Devil Zad.
At this time, Sabok suddenly remembered an important question. He looked at Lorraine and Leo timidly and said, "Excuse me, your name, Lord Envoy."
"My name is Lei..." Leo suddenly heard that he was engaged in a secret operation, rolled his eyes and said: "I am Lei Guangguang, who is walking alone in thousands of miles, that is Bai Guangguang, and this is my boss, Luo Guangguang.
Anyway, feel free to ask around, my reputation as Lei Guangguang and Bai Guangguang are very famous."
"Lei Guangguang, Bai Guangguang, Luo Guangguang..." Sabok muttered it several times, and thought to himself: He is indeed a divine envoy, with such a loud name, we should learn more from it in the future.
"Okay, go back," Leo waved his hand and advised like an elder: "Go back and persuade them more. The Ruman Empire is your friend, not your enemy. They are here to liberate you, not enslave you.
You, the ones who really enslave you are those stubborn patriarchs.
Our slogan is, if you follow Ruman, you will have everything you need to eat and wear clothes~!"
Sabok nodded stupidly and said, "I will definitely bring you your words."
Lorraine held back her laughter, tugged at Leo's clothes, and said, "That's almost enough. If you say anything else, the secret will be revealed."
Although Chairman Leo was still unsatisfied, he had no choice but to chirp and walk back to the war fortress with Lorraine.
Under the gaze of Sabok and the barbarians, the war fortress rose vertically into the air and met the first war fortress on standby. The twelve war fortresses were lined up in an arrow shape and patrolled the battlefield with high-spirited momentum.
, and then rise into the clouds.
Since Leo entered the war fortress, he has been lying on the table in a daze with his chin in his hands, his eyes rolling around, his face sullen for a while, and laughing proudly for a while, obviously he has moved.
What do you think?
After a while, Leo suddenly slammed the table and jumped up, as if he had something big to announce, and said: "I have thought about it. When I fight the barbarians in two months, I will organize a psychological warfare unit.
.”
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then raised her thumb at Leo and praised: "Is it a good idea? Tell me what you are going to do?"
Leo clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in front of Lorraine, saying: "Just like the boss did when he was fighting the orcs, but I want to be more thorough. We can vigorously promote how good Ruman is.
The society is stable, life is prosperous, the emperor is wise, the officials are friendly to the people, and even the landowners are good people. Anyway, they are all in this category. As long as you join, there are benefits. Those who are not full are tempted with bread, and those who are landless are said to be full of work.
Ten years apart.
In short, even if they think Ruman is good, they all want to become Ruman people. The enemy will be defeated without attacking."
Lorraine looked at Leo carefully up and down as if he didn't know him. Leo felt guilty for a while, and said in confusion: "What? Isn't it possible?"
Lorraine chuckled and said, "Okay, of course. Anyway, we can fool him and make Ru Man the hope of mankind."
Leo excitedly tapped his palms and said, "Boss and I thought of getting together."
Just do it, Leo immediately put his buttocks down on the table and began to plan the implementation details.
Seeing Leo's serious look, St. Bolian touched the top of his head with emotion and thought to himself: If you are so vicious at a young age, it will be terrible in the future~!
The old ascetic monk quietly pulled Lorraine and whispered: "Lorraine, with all due respect, since you have the idea of recruiting barbarians, you shouldn't have killed the opportunist just now. He can play a big role."
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "You also know that he is an opportunist. That kind of person is like poison. You will not get better if you get him. You can't let him be injected into Ruman's body.
As for the barbarians, this involves politics, economics, society, and culture, rather than simple military issues."
"Politics?" Saint Brian was a little dumbfounded. The ascetics were afraid of avoiding politics, otherwise they would not have become ascetics. Those who liked politics would have become bishops.
Lorraine remembered Emperor Rudelun's hint and sighed helplessly, saying: "In short, this is for balance, there are many people who need the credit of conquering the barbarians.
Besides, to solve this minority problem, we must use military means to frighten them, conquer them, let them speak our language, use our writing, read our history, and be proud of being a Ruman, this is the cleanest and most thorough way.
means.
An alliance for peace talks will only lead to constant disagreement and rebellion. This is the so-called long-term pain rather than short-term pain."
St. Bolian nodded clearly, understanding the meaning of Lorraine's words.
Luuring them with benefits and seeming to surrender, after they gain a foothold in the future, they will want more. Until the Ruman people cannot satisfy them, they will rebel again. The losses caused by then will be immeasurable.
Lorraine said: "As long as there is no threat from the Dark Mage, the Ruman Empire can easily conquer the barbarians. Russell will not fail to use artillery and war fortresses. With weapons that transcend two eras, the barbarians have no chance.
I only have one task left~!" (To be continued)
