Chapter 447 Another airspace
Countdown to regional resource integration in 30 days
Li Yan slightly regretted arriving in this world ahead of time.
Because he saw the enemy's airship passing over his head not long after he landed, and after hesitating for half a second, he decided to wave his hand and let the enemy take him away.
Since the conflict is unavoidable, why not let him get into the enemy's interior to get some intelligence first.
Then, he was taken to the gathering place of the lords.
No attack, no blackmail.
The enemy knew that the threat to the lords would not work, and they could not get any resources from the lords' territories by plundering no matter how hard they tried.
How to expel or cooperate.
Or, qualified oppression?
With the lords with high technical capabilities as the core, develop a tree-like fractal alliance with multiple allies.
Form a regional alliance, high-tech lords provide shelter, and low-tech lords pay resources for these shelters.
Because of the resources of the territory, the areas controlled by high-tech lords will decrease significantly, and there will be areas where the quantity can be controlled but cannot be developed.
Low-tech lords can perfectly fill this gap, but they need to hand over a part of the resources they have developed...
These resources can be manpower, real resources, or technology.
Finally, each of them completes the final control of the area.
This is the limit of the peaceful development that the system is willing to do for them.
As for how much these taxes are, it depends on the conscience of the alliance formed by these high-tech lords.
But as long as they choose to cooperate, it will be difficult for the subsequent lords to lose money.
As long as the low-tech lords are willing, they still cannot attack the territory to directly intercept resources.
Of course, he should use a better adjective to describe it.
‘Recruitment’
This is undoubtedly the intention of recruiting the lords of the fourth era.
In this period of time when most lords are still struggling in the third era, the most development can only allow them to build the framework of the territory, and it is still difficult to maintain stable development after building it.
Every lord of the fourth era is an extremely important resource.
The lords of the third era can only be used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's ammunition, while the lords of the fourth era can become the main force on the battlefield.
There is only one lord who has just been promoted to the fifth era on their island, and this lord who has just been promoted to the fifth era is the backbone of their temporary alliance.
A lord who has just been promoted to the steam era.
"How about it, have you thought it through? Do you want to join our alliance..."
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up to him and said to him in a slightly arrogant tone.
"For a fourth-era lord like you, we are willing to charge only 60% of the resource tax. After joining our alliance, you can enter our pioneering land market... Currently, hundreds of lords have joined our market, and our market is a zero-tax market."
As long as he takes the initiative to expose himself, the information that the other party can get from his badge is that he is only a fourth-era lord.
Like Li Yan, the upper limit of the fourth era is a minority. The vast majority of lords are still only the lower limit of the fourth era, relying entirely on the resources of the fourth era to raise themselves.
Two years is still too short for how to operate a camp.
Li Yan's eyes twitched.
60% of the resource tax is too black...
To be fair, the conditions they offer are not bad. The 60% resource tax can ensure that other lords can earn a little while working normally.
But it is much better than not having the qualifications to develop. The lords who do not have the qualifications to develop can only abandon the shortcut of development and work hard to develop their own territories and move forward slowly.
The final development results of these steady and autistic lords must be worse than those of the pioneering lords. The system can determine that the resources it provides are enough for each lord to advance to the first era relying only on the resources in the territory.
But theory is always theory. The resources of many countries can support them to complete industrialization...
Let's get back to the topic.
Ji Lin's promise to Li Yan is to collect any taxes directly. They can take as much as they can dig and take away.
You don't need to hand over anything to him.
And when the time comes, the flow of resources can be directly exchanged through the portal, and the system will not charge a 12.5% tax.
"This airspace... is it just you?"
He thought and asked the lord who came to pick him up.
The airspace they were in was much more civilized than Ji Lin's. It was also more dangerous... The natural environment faced by the lords was more dangerous than the other airspace.
These cloud-dwelling creatures were more aggressive, the vegetation on the islands was more lush, and even the height of the trees was much higher than the trees on the ground.
They could only swing back and forth on the medium-sized islands. What was even more fatal was that this airspace was not three broken continents, but a whole super-large floating continent.
The creature community on it could only be described as extremely dangerous.
So far, they could only occupy small and medium-sized islands one by one.
"Of course, we have completely controlled this airspace."
You have found others besides us.
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled, with overflowing pride in his tone, and took him to the hotel serving foreign lords.
"Maybe you can communicate with other lords. Such generous conditions are only available now..."
"Why?"
Li Yan turned his head and asked.
"Since you are a lord of the fourth era, because the regional resource integration will be completed soon, our leader thinks that our current military strength is still adequate... Naturally, we need your help."
Prepare for war.
Their goal may be just this island. They have been unable to attack the main island... Then why not start with other lords during the resource integration.
Plunder is always faster than building by yourself.
The main island is too big, and the hostile creatures are too dangerous. Those mutated insects are very dangerous to the lords of the third era who only have iron weapons, and can cause a small interference to the production of the lords of the fourth era.
Other islands have been built... There is no intrusion of wild animals...
He pushed his glasses and walked out of the hotel without looking back.
"But even without you, we can solve the problem smoothly."
(Take a day off to sort out the outline, QWQ, I feel a little overwhelmed.)
