Four Hundred and Eighty Fifth War (2)

"Ah? 90%? Wouldn't it be... almost all their profits have been taken over. If the initial investment and other expenses are included, I'm afraid they will have no profit!"

"Whatever nonsense, if you ask you to accept it, you will accept it. Now is a special period, and we must strengthen our national defense! After the country is stable, it will not be too late to lower the tax rate! Why, I need to ask His Majesty for this trivial matter? Let His Majesty the King personally Give you an order?"

Seeing the anger on Zhou Xing's face, the political officer was too frightened to say anything more, and hurriedly nodded in agreement. He immediately registered and adjusted the tax rate of these hundreds of stores to 90% of the net profit.

"What are you still doing?" Zhou Xing asked suddenly.

The political officer didn't know what to say, and looked at him in fear.

Zhou Xing patted the table and said: "Now the country is very short of money. Why, you have to wait for the next tax collection to get the 90% tax? I ask these shops to pay back the tax owed within half a year immediately. According to 90% It’s up to you! Send someone to pursue the payment immediately, and seal up the shop if you don’t pay it! Kill those who dare to resist the law on the spot!”

Zhou Xing, as a minister of state affairs, had a high position and authority, and he could be said to follow the law. The political officer dared not delay, and quickly explained the latest tax collection method to his subordinates, and then personally led a group of people to collect taxes.

Zhou Xing let out a cold snort, and immediately left the government affairs hall, and went straight to the north gate. When he came to the city wall, the city guard greeted him immediately, and said graciously: "It turns out that the lord is here, welcome, lord, you are really serving the country and the people!" , and even came to inspect the city defense in person, there are really too few good officials like you!"

Zhou Xing nodded and asked, "How many cannons are there in total at the north gate?"

"Returning to Sir Sir, there are a total of 18 guns, some more than before, and each gun has been upgraded, and its power and range have more than doubled."

"That's right, can I add a few more doors?"

"This... considering the reasonable density, further increase may affect the overall operation."

Zhou Xing looked at it, and it was indeed the case. Every cannon can be called a big killer, and a cannon would occupy a space of ten meters in radius, and a reasonable safety distance should be arranged between each cannon. He couldn't add any more, and he didn't ask: "How much is this latest type of city cannon in stock?"

The city guard said: "There are still 12 doors in stock."

Zhou Xing said lightly: "Take them all out and bring them into my castle."

"Ah? This... I'm afraid..."

"how,

You refuse to carry out my order? "

"No, no, I don't dare to kill you. My lord, please don't get me wrong. What I mean is that these cannons are to be used in the main city. In case the cannons in the main city are damaged, it is better to have them in stock." Replenish in time."

"What you're talking about is nonsense. Will this kind of gun damage 12 guns at a time? Are they allowed to lie in the warehouse to eat ashes? Why do you build a guild garrison outside the city? It's just to strengthen the city's defenses. Do you want the enemy to kill them before you see them?" Cannon? The range of this cannon is limited no matter how far it is, and my castle is at the forefront, so setting up a cannon on my side can provide better defense for the main city, don't you understand the truth?"

"Yes, yes, what Sir Alex said is reasonable, but if they are all transferred, if there is something wrong with my cannon, it will not be able to be replaced."

"Well then, I'll leave you with two gates, and the remaining ten gates will all fall into my castle."

"Okay, okay!" The city guard broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately ordered the soldiers to transport the guns.

The time before the battle was very tight, and Zhou Xing didn't dare to waste it. He immediately opened the guild panel, opened the guild warehouse, and sorted out a large number of equipment with a low usage rate. Now that there is no wind bomb, and the low-level ghost fire scroll has been eliminated, these equipment can be transformed into a group attack weapon under the sky explosion formula, but the cost is relatively high, and he will not use it as a last resort.

Then he went to the barracks again. He is now a lieutenant colonel and has the right to mobilize troops. Unfortunately, he can only mobilize 10 guards. After careful selection, he selected 10 85-level magisters, each of whom can be called a mobile fort.

Not long after, all the players who walked on the song entered the castle. Now the online rate is only more than 70%, most of them have come, but there are only more than 70,000 people, and according to the information, the 12 guilds mobilized a total of 70 or so Ten thousand people, this is a ratio of 10:1, Zhou Xing felt a lot of pressure.

After the guild resident was upgraded to a small castle, a blood bar appeared. The full blood state is 2 million points. If the castle continues to be attacked, when the blood volume is exhausted, the castle will collapse, and the tens of thousands of gold coins he spent before Float. What's more terrible is that once this battle is defeated, it will inevitably cause serious damage to the guild. Not only will the guild's ranking plummet, but morale will also plummet, and it may even fall apart. Therefore, this battle must be won, and it must be won Pretty, for as little cost as possible.

In the past, his family felt that they had some strength to deal with four or five families, but now there are more than a dozen of them to deal with him, and more than half of them have not had any conflicts with Tage and Xingxing. Driven by capital, after all, the development of stepping on the song makes everyone jealous, which leads to jealousy and hatred, which is the saying goes that the first bird is shot with a gun.

If the 12 coalition forces cannot be seriously damaged in this battle, such large-scale battles will definitely be staged one after another in the future. death, so he had to make the dozen or so guilds and the capital behind them feel the pain, so that they would never dare to offend Tage again.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the forces of both sides had been assembled. Ying Zheng of the Great Qin Empire became the commander of the coalition forces. He divided the 12 guilds into 12 armies, and divided them into four directions to attack at the same time. Each of the three armies attacked one direction. There are hundreds of thousands of people in each direction.

After the allied forces left the city, Zhou Xing came to the city wall again and ordered the city guard to immediately fire at the allied forces outside the city. The city guard was surprised and said: "But they are from our royal city, how can we beat our own people? "

"Fart!" Zhou Xing said angrily, "They are going to demolish my castle. My castle is to defend the main city. You still say they are your own people? Are you going to treason?"

When the city guard heard the word treason, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. He immediately yelled at his soldiers: "Fire! What are you waiting for? Hit me hard! Blast all those who threaten the Lord's castle into scum!" !fire!"

boom! boom! boom! ...

The cannons rumbled, and the shells exploded in the coalition army group. The damage of each shell was astonishing, as well as the shock wave and splash damage. Once fired, more than a hundred people turned into white light.
