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 opponent's airship passing over his head not long after he landed, he hesitated for half a second and decided to wave his hand to let the opponent take him away.

Since conflict is inevitable, it is better to let him get into the enemy to get some intelligence.

Then, he was taken to the gathering place of the lords.

No attack, no extortion.

The opponent 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.

Either expel or cooperate.

Or, qualified oppression?

With the lords with high-tech capabilities as the core, develop a tree-like fractal alliance with multiple allies.

Form a regional joint 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 a large number of areas that can be controlled but cannot be developed will appear.

Low-tech lords can perfectly fill this gap, but they need to hand over a portion of the resources they have developed...

These resources can be manpower, real resources, or technology.

In the end, each of them completes the final control of the region.

This is the limit of 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 unwilling, they still cannot attack the territory to directly intercept resources.

Of course, he should use a better adjective to describe it.

'Recruitment'

The other party undoubtedly has 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, normal development can only allow them to build the framework of the territory at most, 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 serve as coolies and cannon fodder to consume enemy 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 does not actively expose himself, the information that the other party can get from his badge is that he is only a fourth-era lord.

There are only a few lords like Li Yan who are at the upper limit of the fourth era. Most lords are still at the lower limit of the fourth era and rely entirely on the resources of the fourth era to lift themselves up.

Two years is still too short for how to operate a camp.

Li Yan's eyes twitched.

60% resource tax is too unfair...

To be fair, the conditions they offer are not bad. 60% resource tax can ensure that other lords can work normally and earn a little.

But it is much better than not having the qualifications for development. The lords who do not have the qualifications for development 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 may not be worse than those of the pioneering lords. The system can ensure that the resources it provides are enough for each lord to advance to the eighth era relying only on the resources in the territory.

It's just that 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 that he will not collect any taxes directly. They can take as much as they can dig and take away.

No need to hand over anything to him.

And when the time comes, the flow of resources can be directly interacted through the portal, without being taxed by the system at 12.5%.

"Are you the only ones in this airspace?"

He thought and asked the lord who came to pick him up.

The airspace they were in was different from the airspace where Ji Lin was in. There was no local civilization in the airspace they were in, and it was more dangerous... The natural environment faced by the lords was more dangerous than the other airspace.

These cloud-dwelling creatures were more aggressive, and 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 terrible was that this airspace was not three broken continents, but a whole super-giant floating land.

The biomes 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 can't find anyone else except 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 is about to be completed, our leader feels that our current military strength is not enough...naturally we need your help."

We need to prepare for war.

Their goal is not just this island. They have been unable to attack the main island...so 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 giant insects are very dangerous to the lords of the third era who only have iron weapons, and they can cause considerable interference to the production of the lords of the fourth era.

The islands that others have built...there is no invasion of wild creatures...

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 bit overwhelmed.)
