"Your Highness kindly invites you. I should have agreed, but it's a pity that the dwarf village still needs me."
"It doesn't matter, I will dispatch new officials to manage the dwarf village. The dwarf village will not stagnate and will continue to develop rapidly. I plan to build the dwarf village into a free city. In the future, the free city will also be included in the Hero City.
If the clan leader is still not convinced, he can also serve as the future Lord of Liberty City."
Vlad saw the prosperity of the dwarf village and the freedom-loving nature of the demons. Of course, he was not prepared to destroy this beauty. He planned to build a free trade zone based on the dwarf village, but it was not a tax evasion and tax avoidance zone, a smuggling zone and
Contraband trading area.
The dwarf patriarch Andrei frowned and suddenly stopped, looking at Vlad up and down with a pair of tiger eyes flashing fiercely.
Vlad also stopped, he was calm and composed, and did not forget to show a slight smile.
"Your Highness, why did you come to the dwarf village?"
"Village? Don't deceive yourself. This is not a bullshit village at all. This is a cancer that is parasitic on the province of Methos. It is a paradise for smugglers and a place where criminals enjoy impunity."
Vlad pointed to the demons on the street who were looking at them curiously from a distance. They were of all kinds, including blue demons, undead, succubi, trolls, etc.
He did not hide the strong sarcasm on his face, and he cursed in an excited tone but very quickly, "Dear Mr. Andre, look at them, they are the demons who are free and at large under your wings. They
Many of them are wanted by the provincial government, including assassins, flagrant pirates, murderous gangsters, smugglers, stowaways, and even spies from Pandaria. They are all a bunch of scum.
,Rubbish."
Vlad mocked, "And Mr. Dwarf, who claims to be a noble race and a believer in Andrei Siogong, the god of war who is known for his integrity, loyalty, and wisdom, is actually helping them escape the punishment they deserve."
Andre's face became even more ugly when he heard this.
Vlad shook his head slightly at Andre, "Their existence is unsafe for the empire, very unsafe. I don't want the dwarves to be implicated by them and become unsafe!"
The dwarves nearby were not idle people. They had high cultivation levels, and their hearing was naturally extremely keen. They listened to the conversation between Vlad and their clan leader word for word, including Vlad's barely concealed threats.
.
I saw them all holding their weapons and looking eagerly at Vlad, who had always looked calm and unchanging. The mount Mohu they were holding was undoubtedly not an ordinary thing, and it was easy to feel the murderous intention of the owner.
Becoming restless.
The tauren Tuomu took out a giant sword from the space ring and held it in his hand to confront the dwarves without fear.
It's just that although Tuomu showed courage to move forward, in fact, he was secretly beating the drum in his heart. He was already planning to drag these black and hard dwarves to his death, and to buy Vlad time to escape no matter what.
"Your Highness, do you know how many warriors our dwarves have?"
The dwarf patriarch Andre glanced at a circle of powerful and murderous dwarf warriors, looking at ease.
Vlad took his time, holding the hilt of the dagger at his waist and laughing.
"Then do you know how many warriors there are in the Eternal Night Empire? How many warriors are there in the Hades Marine Corps? How many warriors are there in the Hero City whose heroic blood is still cold?"
The dwarf patriarch Andre's face changed several times and he waved to the dwarves. Although these dwarves reluctantly put away their weapons because of the patriarch's prestige, they were no longer as friendly to Vlad as before, and looked at him with hateful eyes.
Ladd fired within three feet.
Anyone who dared to get close to Vlad would definitely be attacked by the dwarves indiscriminately. Anyway, Vlad felt as if he was constantly being pricked by countless tiny needles.
"Aren't you afraid of getting the eye of a needle when you look at me like this?"
The dwarf patriarch Andre sighed softly, "Hey, Your Highness, now the dwarf village is no longer something I can hand over if I want!"
Vlad looked completely different from the previous one who used the power to oppress others. He showed a warm and bright smile and said, "I know it is not easy for you dwarves to live in the Demon Moon Realm. From now on, Free City can still enjoy the benefits of not having to pay taxes.
But that will have to wait until some of the dregs inside are cleaned up."
Vlad's goal for the future of the territory is for the province of Methos to become the processing plant and brain of the Demon Moon Realm. Apart from Methos, they are all raw material production areas, and importing raw materials will charge a ridiculous tax.
It's enough to collect taxes on the things that are processed and produced. The worst thing is that the things sold are more expensive. As for the time to clean up the garbage, it is left to Methos to become a primary processing factory.
Despite such generous conditions, the dwarf patriarch Andre still had an embarrassed expression as if he had trouble defecating and was worse off than dead.
Vlad felt like his patience was running out.
"If you can't make the decision, I'll go to the four major families and tell them in person!"
The dwarf patriarch Andre was stunned, then relieved, and then so excited that he even trembled a little when he spoke.
"Your Highness... we, the entire dwarf clan, are willing to cooperate with Your Highness."
Vlad was unmoved. Not only did he not show any joy, but he also looked extremely unhappy.
His dissatisfaction was clearly written on his face.
When he saw him raising his eyebrows and looking at Andre with a trashy expression, he almost said directly, "You have the nerve to call me a dwarf village. The four major families have controlled your veins. You are the four major families in love."
It’s a raised thug, but this thug is wild and not yet mature.”
As for how Vlad knew that the dwarf village was related to the four major families?
Just imagine that there is such a lawless place under the nose of the Heroic City that has developed into a small city. Anyone who is not blind can easily see the cancer in the province of Methos. The shrewdness of the previous governor must have known.
Since he knew about it but did not deal with it, it is obvious that there is a backer behind this dwarf village. In the province of Methos, the four major families who control the city guard are not the only ones that can make the governor of the province fearful.
As for how to judge whether the dwarves are wild, it is very simple. Since the dwarf leader dares to agree without consulting the four major families, he can definitely still be his own master. He has a certain degree of autonomy and can make decisions to a certain extent.
Isn't it just that I haven't matured my destiny yet?
Of course, there is another situation where relationships and bonds are maintained through loyalty. Of course, the dwarves cannot be loyal to the four major families. Nonsense, if dwarves can easily be loyal to others instead of being loyal to freedom, will they not be able to survive in the human world?
Maybe he couldn't stand Vlad's naked contempt, so the dwarf leader Andre decided to defend the dignity of his people to the death.
He saw that he knelt down to Vlad in public without hesitation and said loudly, "By the name of Arelius, the God of War, I, Andrei Theogorn, am willing to follow the footsteps of His Highness the Prince to the death and never abandon me."
The dwarves who tried to kill Vlad through their eyes were completely shocked, so much so that some of the dwarves' jaws dropped.
"This...how is this possible?"
"The patriarch is loyal to His Highness the Prince!"
"The patriarch has pledged allegiance to a demon!"
"The patriarch is loyal to a weak demon whose bloodline has not yet awakened!"
...
The demons who watched the excitement from a distance were also shocked.
"Andre, the dwarf patriarch, wants to be loyal to that simply-dressed prince?"
"Impossible, he cannot transcend the future destiny that I see with my three eyes. He is so weak that it is impossible to manage the territory well, let alone get the loyalty of Andre, the true warrior!"
"Dwarf Patriarch Andre, the five-star magic warrior wants to be loyal to that prince? Really or not, I must have been under the illusion of the succubus clan. Sure enough, the succubus goblins are really bad."
...
Tauren Tuoom was confused, where am I? Who am I? What has His Highness done? What should I do?
Yes, I should take pictures, I should truly record this exciting moment, otherwise His Royal Highness will definitely lose his temper again!
Vlad looked at Andre. This was the first time he had faced the bearded dwarf. At this moment, Vlad saw the perseverance of an incredibly strong man, his willingness to sacrifice as the leader of a clan, and his
The wisdom behind the dark forehead.
Andre only said that he was loyal to him, not the entire dwarf race. It was obvious that this dwarf man, who looked like a human tank, wanted to sacrifice himself in exchange for a chance for his tribe to fully integrate into the world of the Demon Moon, instead of relying on becoming a noble.
Their thugs.
Bah, bah, bah...what about sacrificing yourself.
Vlad said that he was not interested in these black and hard things.
Vlad just gave him a chance, giving the dwarves a chance to integrate into the world of the Demon Moon! As for what kind of opportunity it was, a chance to go from being a semi-bandit to being a member of the ruling class, and a chance to continue wandering at any time from a non-conformist.
A chance to escape and settle down without being ostracized!
Of course, if the dwarves don't pay something, Vlad's opportunity will become so cheap that no one will really take it seriously, including the dwarves and the dwarf leader Andre. Naturally, Vlad will not take it seriously either.
Vlad naturally would not turn away the dwarf patriarch Andre's application to join the gang. He welcomed all black and hard men to join his gang.
Then Vlad pulled out the noble dagger that in Andre's eyes could only pick his teeth, put it on Andre's shoulder, and solemnly swore, "I, Vlad Richard, accept Andre Siogon's gift."
Allegiance, as evidenced by the devil Satan, I will never betray you.”
