Chapter 168: Armed to demand taxes (800 monthly ticket plus more updates)
"I'm afraid this won't work!" Adam shook his head repeatedly, "Our mission is only to protect the town and collect debts for others, which is against the rules..."
"Ahem! Brother, don't talk yet!"
George covered Adam's mouth, and his attitude towards Allen changed from casual to smiling.
"Brother! Please tell me in detail about armed tax collection!"
"Brother George, you are a straightforward person, and I won't talk in circles." Allen raised three fingers, "When the matter is completed, you can get 30% of the tax."
George stroked his bald head, rolled his eyes wildly, and pondered.
"Ellen, isn't it appropriate for you to do this?" Maria, the lion sister, took over the conversation, "I have two questions that I can't figure out."
"First, dwarves, pirates, and ogres were local residents long before you moved here. They are not subjects under your rule. What reason do you have to tax them?"
"Secondly, even if you have the ability to steal money from others, or, as you say, tax it, you alone have the final say on how to divide the money? You don't need the approval of the town mayor and council?"
"Sister Maria, these two questions are actually very simple."
Allen smiled and explained to Sister Lion.
"Indeed, we are latecomers, but we are legal citizens of the New Quint Territory."
"We have a pioneering license issued by the monastery, and the endorsement of the monastery ensures the legality of our local taxation!"
"I would like to ask, do dwarves, pirates and ogres have charters issued by the monastery?"
"No..." Maria shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Then, no matter how long they have been here as local gangsters, they do not have legal resident rights. Am I right?"
Maria, Adam and George looked at each other and fell into silence.
If you don't accept Allen's theory, it is equivalent to indirectly denying that all territorial rights and interests of Silver Moon Island belong to Silver Moon Monastery, and denying the legality and authority of the resident rights and charter issued by Silver Moon Monastery!
They dare not deny the authority of Silver Moon Monastery, and can only acquiesce that Allen's words are reasonable.
"Sister Maria, as for your second question."
Allen filled Sister Lion's glass with wine and smiled slightly.
"I forgot to introduce myself just now. I am the chief tax collector of Xinqunte. You can also think of me as a tax contractor.
"Except for the share of taxes receivable that are handed over to the town government, the rest are all my own. I can divide them however I want."
"Okay, little fox, you are awesome!" Maria was convinced.
"It seems that everyone has no doubts." George said, "Let's talk about the issue of sharing."
"Wait a minute!" Adam couldn't bear it anymore, "What do you mean no doubt? I haven't spoken yet!"
"Even if Allen has the law to follow and has the right to tax, our security team should not do such a thing!"
"We maintain public security, not the tax collector's private armed forces. How can we help him collect taxes?"
"This is a public weapon for private use! Don't use it, never use it!"
"Ahem! Brother, this is what's wrong with you."
George took over the conversation with a smile.
"Obviously they are dwarves, but pirates and ogres are the first to find trouble. They refuse to accept the teachings and bully our brother Allen, destroying the security environment of the New Quint Territory!"
"How can such a black sheep survive without being rectified?!"
"They dare to resist taxes today, rebel tomorrow, and what else they dare to do the day after tomorrow... I can't even think about it!"
"Our security team must strike hard! Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and crack down on this unhealthy trend!"
"This is not only to safeguard the security of New Quinte, but also to safeguard the authority of our monastery!"
"Otherwise, who will take the charter issued by the monastery seriously in the future?"
"Brother, Third Sister, please take a closer look, is this the truth?"
"Second brother is so right!" Sister Lion slapped her thigh, "I support second brother!"
Adam hesitated.
Allen filled him with wine and asked with a smile: "Brother Adam, how is this wine? Is it to your liking?"
“Not bad, very good!”
"I'll send you two more barrels tomorrow."
"Well, that's not necessary...how can you be so embarrassed!"
Adam rubbed his hands and finally made up his mind.
"I'm not biased towards Allen. To be fair in this matter... it was indeed the dwarves, pirates and ogres who were at fault first!"
"As for me, as you all know, peace is always the most important thing."
"Dwarves, pirates and ogres, if they are willing to pay taxes according to the law, then it will be easy to negotiate."
"If you are shameless, no wonder we use violence. What do you think?"
"Brother is right!" George nodded in agreement.
"I listen to Big Brother!" Maria had no objection.
Allen smiled and served Brother Xiong a full glass of wine. The cooperation intention was reached, and the next step was to talk about money.
"Brother Allen, 30% to 70% is no problem, but..." George smiled slyly, "Thirty percent is yours, and 70% belongs to us!"
"Forty-six split." Allen landed to pay back the money, "You have four, I have six!"
After some haggling, the two parties finally reached an agreement, excluding the money paid to the town government, and the remaining taxes were divided half and half.
As for how much tax you can ultimately receive, it all depends on your individual capabilities.
The three people in the monastery were gearing up and planning how to squeeze the oil out of the stone!
…
Two things are inevitable in a person's life: death and taxes.
…
Allen led the Silver Moon Security Team and the town militia and began to perform the duties of "Chief Tax Collector".
The plan is to spend a month collecting taxes from the "wild monsters" in the territory.
Among them, the three hardest bones to crack are the dwarf clan in the Forged Iron Valley, the ogre clan in the forest farm, and the pirate gang in the Comfort Zone.
Allen's account books are ready, the abacus is clanging, and the accounts are being calculated one by one. No one can escape!
The dwarf's temper is indeed as fiery as the legend says.
As soon as Allen explained his intention, the dwarves raised their forging hammers angrily.
I have to say, Brother Bear, Brother Pig and Sister Lion, after receiving the money, they really did the work for them!
Adam took the lead, rushing into the crowd and clashing fists.
Bang!!
The blazing magic power spurted out from the fingers and turned into a huge ball of light, radiating strong light around!
Silver Moon style martial arts - Sun Fist!
Within twenty meters, all the dwarves were flashed by the bright light and burst into tears. They covered their faces and screamed, and the hammers fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
George's plump body was like a balloon, leaping up and gliding more than thirty meters in the air before landing in front of the group of dwarves holding crossbows behind him.
The dwarf crossbowmen fired arrows in a hurry!
Countless crossbow arrows made of fine steel were shot at George's body, piercing his whole body in an instant, like a fat hedgehog.
"ha!"
George shouted loudly, and all the arrows sucked by his fat body bounced back and returned to their original owners!
The tail of the crossbow arrow had no edge, but it hit the body hard. Even though the dwarf crossbowman was protected by chain armor, the pain was so painful that he almost lost his breath.
The next second, George stamped his foot and the ground shook!
Strong shock waves spread through the soles of the feet, creating a local earthquake.
The entire dwarf workshop collapsed suddenly as the ground cracked and the walls collapsed.
Before the workshop collapsed, Allen exited the door.
Seeing the ruins at the scene, I silently wiped away cold sweat.
The stomp of George's foot that caused the earthquake just now seemed to be the third-level martial skill "Earthquake Wave" of Silver Moon Monastery.
It is similar to the second-level "earth shock", but is more powerful and affects a wider range. It is especially suitable for destroying buildings.
In the valley, another group of dwarves hurried over.
Maria sneered and rushed forward suddenly, so fast that the afterimage was thrown away!
One second ago, the brilliant blond hair was still floating in the air.
The next second, her people had already rushed out thirty meters away.
Bang bang bang bang!!
From the crowd, there was a series of sounds of metal armor being hit with blunt objects.
A group of dwarves wearing heavy armor were all knocked down by Sister Lion in the blink of an eye.
Armor and shields were smashed to pieces by her fists!
The common sense that "two fists are no match for four hands" does not apply to her.
Any opponent who comes close to her will be punched.
Be impartial, treat them fairly, and knock them all down with one punch!
The three captains took the lead, and the warlocks from the Silver Moon Security Team were not to be outdone and rushed forward to beat the dwarves violently.
Within ten minutes, all the hot-tempered dwarf brothers were beaten to the ground.
There was a sudden rumble from the ironworks in the distance!
"Robbers! You're finished!"
A dwarf who was kicked away by Maria was hanging on a tree with a sinister smile on his face.
"The Great Elder is here in his 'Iron Emperor' and will kill you all soon!"
Iron Emperor...?
Allen looked at the place where the roar came from with curiosity.
I saw a huge iron man striding towards me.
Steam and black smoke came out of the body, making the sound of gears turning.
This steel giant looks like a dwarf magnified a hundred times, holding a sledgehammer in his left hand and a giant iron pickaxe in his right hand.
The whole body is covered with rivets, as if it were made of iron patches.
Allen looked carefully and found that there was a hatch on the chest of the giant construct, and it seemed like someone was driving it inside.
The "Iron Emperor" stalked closer, and the parts of its body creaked, which was extremely harsh.
The huge body of twelve meters high, like a building, casts a shadow, burying the tiny human beings...
"Haha! It's just a big tin doll, watch me dismantle it!"
Maria smiled contemptuously and jumped up.
The graceful figure soared hundreds of feet into the air!
Fly to the commanding heights, stretch your arms, and turn over gracefully.
With a kick in the air, he kicked towards the "Iron Emperor"!
The dwarf driving the armored giant did not take her mantis-like attack seriously and continued to stride forward.
Until Sister Lion kicked the armored giant...
boom!!
Maria was like a human-shaped meteor, directly kicking the giant's steel head and exploding, black smoke billowing from the neck cavity.
The headless giant shook violently, and finally couldn't bear the earth-shattering kick and collapsed.
Sister Shizi landed on the ground, patted the dust on her trouser legs, and said calmly: "It's a piece of cake."
"Cough cough cough cough..."
There was a coughing sound from the wreckage of the "Iron Emperor".
The hatch opened, and an old dwarf wearing glasses climbed out.
The beard hanging down to his chest has been scorched by the "Iron Emperor" that caught fire in the cabin.
Allen suppressed a smile and used a "water control technique" to artificially rain and extinguish the fire on the old dwarf.
…
With the support of the Silver Moon Security Team, Allen's first stop on the "Tourning Tour" achieved fruitful results.
No matter how tough the dwarves are, they still know that a hero will not suffer the consequences of the present.
If someone beats you up, you can only hold your nose and admit defeat.
Allen collected a portion of the cash tax, and the dwarves promised to use steel, armor, and weapons to offset the remaining share.
Both parties signed the contract and signed and pledged it.
Considering that the dwarves have always focused on credibility, Allen believed that they would honor the agreement without compromise.
After getting rid of the dwarves in Forged Iron Valley, there will be no shortage of steel in the town.
The armor and weapons needed by the militia are also available.
The armed tax collection group returned with a full load.
After winning the first battle, Adam and Maria were very satisfied. Only George, who was always willing to pay for every penny he spent, made some sarcastic remarks.
"Brother Allen, we will take care of the dirty work of fighting."
"You just come here to keep accounts and earn 50% of the net income. This is a great deal!"
"If I had known this, no matter what we did, we would have paid for an extra cent!"
Allen smiled and did not refute.
During the trip to the Forged Iron Valley, I really had no chance to take action.
Being looked down upon by George and ridiculed, he had nothing to say.
At the next stop of the tax collection tour, Alan decided to do a little bit to open the eyes of this fat guy George!
Don't let him say any more sarcastic words, as he looks down upon others!
…
A week later, armed tax collection groups were dispatched again.
The target this time is the ogre clan in the forest area.
The average height of an adult ogre is over three meters.
The ogre chief known as the "Big Stick" is nearly five meters tall, and the fat on his belly looks like a three-layer swimming ring.
The name "Big Stick" is not for nothing. The chief's giant stick is a whole poplar tree.
Only the chief among the entire ogre tribe can wield this "giant stick" with ease.
Based on the above-mentioned rumors, Allen speculated that Chief Big Stick’s physical attributes would not be lower than 26 points.
The overall strength is equivalent to that of a violent warlock in the early third level.
Chief Jubang, facing the tax notice issued by Allen, picked his nose and asked loudly:
"What is the tax? Can I eat it?"
Ogres are not very smart.
But he's not that stupid yet.
Of course Allen could see that the chief was pretending to be stupid.
This is a traditional way for the ogres to taunt their enemies.
Therefore, Allen also responded forcefully in a traditional way of ogres.
He made a very insulting gesture towards the chief and at the same time let out a very insulting roar:
"Shit, fat guy!"
"You talk nonsense! Little mouse! I will crush you!!"
As expected, the chief was angered by Allen and rushed forward with his giant stick high!
Allen took his time and started the second stage of returning to his ancestors.
The body suddenly increased to four meters tall!
The large and muscular muscles burst through his shirt and glowed with a metallic luster in the sunset.
Bang!!
The huge wooden pile was smashed down firmly!
Allen held the stick firmly on his forehead without changing his expression.
However, the giant stick could not withstand the pressure. Using Allen's head as the fulcrum, it snapped into two pieces at the waist!
Allen brushed away the sawdust on his head, twisted his neck, and his joints clicked, like a machine, making a crisp sound of gears.
After receiving this blow without even hurting his scalp, Allen still affirmed the power of Chief Big Stick.
"It's not bad. One full blow can actually mess up my hair."
Chief Big Stick was so angry that he threw away half of the tree stump, opened his arms, roared and rushed forward to fight!
Allen carried a stick, not just to show off, but mainly to use the system to test the opponent's strength.
The Ogre Chief's physical attribute is about 27, the same as before he returned to his ancestors.
Including the bonus of the atavistic transformation, Allen's current physical attribute is 31 points, easily crushing the Giant Stick Chief.
What's more, his speed advantage is even greater!
Allen didn't even use hound steps and easily dodged the opponent's tackle.
He grabbed the chief's arm with one hand and threw him over his shoulder!
Boom!
The earth trembles!
Chief of the Giant Stick, smashing the ground with his head!
His head was bruised and bleeding, and he was still trying to get up with stars in his eyes.
Allen stepped forward, got behind the chief, and locked the throat with a cross arm!
He used the "naked choke" technique to completely subdue him.
"Answer me now, is tax delicious?"
"No...not delicious..."
“Do you pay taxes or not?”
"Pay...I pay..." the chief gasped hard, "but we have no money..."
"It doesn't matter, you can get tax credits for logging."
Alan answered with a smile.
He had already thought carefully about the ogres and made clear arrangements.
Of course the chief could only accept his good intentions.
Everyone around, including the ogres and the people in the monastery, were all silent.
The ogres and security team members looked at Allen with awe.
After all, Adam, George and Maria were at a much higher level than him, so they wouldn't make a fuss.
The reason why the three of them were shocked was entirely because of the Magic Leopard blood that Allen showed when he transformed back to his ancestors!
The majestic image of the leopard-headed giant made the three of them unable to help but think about it.
Ogre bloodline is not unusual.
Black Panther blood is not particularly rare.
The fusion of the two is so rare!
Beastly ogre, special bloodline!
Definitely a rare talent!
"Brother, your bloodline... tsk tsk, you have a bright future!" George put his arms around Allen's shoulders and smiled broadly, "When you get rich in the future, don't forget to take care of your old friends!"
Allen was worried that he would not have the chance to get close to the three of them, so taking advantage of George's sudden change of attitude, he proposed to sworn sworn brothers with the three of them.
The eldest brother Adam, the second brother George, the third sister Maria, and Ellen, the youngest, became the fourth brother.
When we left the Ogre Forest Farm, it was already dark.
The armed tax collection group camped by the nearby river.
Allen was cleaning up the tent when he suddenly smelled a familiar aroma.
Looking back, Sister Lion was leaning on the tent, arms folded, and smiling at her.
The full chest is held up by the arms, which is particularly spectacular.
Allen smelled that Maria had put on the perfume he had given her, so he walked forward and praised her a few times.
Maria smiled slightly and said softly: "Fourth brother, can I ask you a favor?"
"Third sister, please tell me, I will try my best."
"I like the perfume you gave me very much, but there is a place where I can't spray it myself..."
Allen understood and followed Sister Lion into her tent.
Maria asked him to hold the perfume bottle and took off her shirt and tube top with her back to him, revealing her wheat-colored naked back.
The tight leather pants highlight the hot waist and hip curves and a pair of round and straight long legs.
Allen shook the perfume bottle and sprayed it on Sister Lion's graceful bare back.
"Wow! It's so cold!"
Maria shuddered and turned around.
The corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, smiling shyly.
Allen and her were face to face, and they could hear each other's breathing.
In the dim tent, the air was extremely hot.
Allen put down the perfume bottle, stepped forward to help Sister Lion disarm her lower body, and fully appreciate the beauty of her body.
Towering snow-capped mountains, golden grasslands...
