Vic's army temporarily stopped, and several people were kneeling in front of him and shivering. 8) They were the representatives of the people of the city of Sallit before. In fact, there were only a dozen people in total. Although everyone wanted to thank them in person in the main city, it was obviously too exaggerated for everyone to go, so after discussing it, several representatives were sent.

Now they also know who they were caught. A new imperial edict was just heard from the main city. The general meaning was that the eldest prince Vico rebelled and conspired to usurp the throne. Now they are taking troops to the Fort Glory. These people don’t know why they are so lucky. Since they happened to be caught by them. In their eyes, Vico is undoubtedly a thief. What will happen if they are caught by the thief? They simply dare not think about it.

Seeing these moving people, Vico also frowned. This was completely different from what he imagined. In his opinion, he was the orthodox heir. Misade, who ascended the throne now, is obviously a pseudo-emperor. So, shouldn't these people look like they are greeting the king's army when they see that they are coming? Why are they moving as if they are trying to kill them now?

"You are going to go to Fort Glory to thank Misad?" Vico asked, "Why? Tell me the reason."

"Your Highness, please spare me..." Hearing Vico's unhappy voice, all the people quickly begged for Vico.

"I won't kill you," Vico said immediately, "I just want to know why you are leaning towards Misade, what benefits did he give you?"

"Uh..." Several people also looked up at Vico. It seemed that he really didn't really look down on their lives. So one of the leading guys in his fifties was brave enough to say, "Your Highness, Your Highness... Your Highness the Tenth Prince has issued some new policies, saying that we want to pay an extra 50% tax to the emperor of the Great Sixth League..."

Originally they wanted to call Misade the Emperor, but now their lives are important, so they temporarily changed their words and called the original title His Majesty the Tenth Prince.

"I've known this for a long time," Vico said immediately. "I'm asking you why you support Misade, not you."

"Ha?" All the people looked at Vico a little strangely, and the fat man said, "Your Highness, if we don't support His Majesty the Tenth Prince, we can't pay an extra 50% tax. Of course, everyone supports His Majesty the Tenth Prince. This is the reason."

"What?" Vico was also stunned, "Wait, what do you mean is that Misad charges you 50% more taxes, and then you support him?"

"No, Your Majesty, this 50% tax is paid to the Emperor of the Great Sixth League. However, we are very grateful to him for His Majesty the Tenth Prince to implement such a policy..." The fat man replied.

"..." Vico listened for a long time but still couldn't understand what the situation was. Of course, the generals around him couldn't understand either. Vico was in a bad mood now and shouted directly: "Are you playing tricks on me? They charged you 50% more taxes, and then you still think the other party is good? Are you brain-related?"

"How dare I play tricks on you, sir?" The fat man here also said quickly, "But...but..."

The fat man was also anxious. He saw that Vico was very angry, but the problem was that he didn't know where Vico was angry. What a favor he had to pay an extra 50% tax on himself, so what does it mean to be a brain disease? They didn't know where they were wrong.

"What about you? It's because they charged you 50% more tax?" Vico pointed to the others and asked.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer. Of course, the reason was that this was true. The problem was that Vico seemed not very satisfied with this answer. They didn't want to die now, so how could they answer it.

"I..." Vico really couldn't help it, "Are you really sick? Now they charge you 50% more tax, plus the original 15%, and now you have to pay 65% ​​tax."

"Yes." All the people nodded.

"You can't survive the 65% tax at all, right? Now Misad's policy makes you unable to survive, and you still support him? Do you think you are brain-related?" Vico said excitedly.

"..." Several people did not answer, but Vico didn't know why they saw surprise in their eyes, as if they were saying something that was unbelievable. Vico didn't know what was wrong with what he said, so what was going on with these people?

"You..." Vico pointed to the fat man and said, "You say, is there any problem with what I said?"

"Uh... Your Highness." The fat man also thought for a while, "There is nothing wrong with what you said. We really can't survive anymore, so... we are grateful."

"What? They can't make you live, and then you still thank them?" Vico was shocked by the logic of the god again, "No, I... you guys are crazy."

"..." The people were scared by Vico again and didn't dare to speak. But at this moment, several soldiers next to them came back, and the news they brought back made Vico even more difficult to understand.

Yes, according to the news that was sent back, they asked some of the surrounding villages and residents of the towns. Because these villages and towns are close to the main city, they have received the imperial edict from Misade. Judging from the current situation, all the villagers almost chose to support Misade New Emperor. And like the people of Sallit City in front of them, the people from several villages and towns were excited to go to the main city in person to thank the new emperor. Some of them have already been released and those are being prepared. Anyway, it seems that everyone has 100% support for Misade's policies.

"Are you crazy in this tnd?" Vico really felt that his three views were about to be subverted. What is the situation now? Is the whole country crazy? It is not necessarily because of his own problems. What's going on with these people? People can't survive. You still thank him, and then he looks like he takes it for granted?

"District... Your Highness, this must be a magic trick! Magic trick!" A general was also a little panicked and said with a trembling voice.

"Shut up!" Vico roared, then looked at the people again, thought for a while and asked, "Now Misad charges you 65% tax, and you can't survive at all. If I come to power, I will collect it according to the previous standards at most. Wouldn't this be better for you? Why don't you support me?"

"This..." Several people did not dare to answer, but looked at Vico with a look of "Are you stupid?" and supported you and supported Misade and their extra payment of 50%, and the whole family would starve to death. In their opinion, there is any comparison.

"I..." Although several people didn't answer, Vico also understood their expressions. After thinking about it, Vico asked, "Okay, you have to do this, right? Then, I will follow your wishes. Misad's rule will charge 50% more, right? I'm ruled with 50% more, who do you support?"

"What?" Everyone was excited, "You want to charge us 5o% more tax?"

"Yes, I will charge 5o% more. If you don't have this kind of need, I can charge it, or even higher ones, you..."

"Damn it!" A 20-year-old man finally couldn't hold it in. He stood up and cursed, "Do you know how hard our people live? The empire is consuming wars every year, and the 15% tax has already suppressed us all. Now you still want to collect higher taxes? You are going to force us to death. His Majesty Misade is right. You are just a traitor and have no right to inherit the throne!"

"Sarai!" The old men next to him quickly stopped the young man who stood up, but they couldn't hold him back at all. Of course, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the young man's words, but they just felt that they were all in Vico's hands now, and you were asking for death when you curse people in person.

"Damn? Are you sick?" Vico also saw it, so he didn't understand even more. "Hey, Misad charges 65% of your taxes, and your group of people thank him for it. Then I also charge 65% of your taxes. I am a traitor to the Empire. Tnd, tell me where is the logic?"

"You are worthy of comparing with His Majesty Misade? If you really come to power, you will be a tyrant! Long live His Majesty Misade!" Although the young man was dragged by several people, he still yelled with struggle. It seems that this young man doesn't want to live anymore.

But now Vico is not really concerned about what the young man is saying. He is really shocked. He really doesn't know how to figure out the current situation. Do those invaders really have the ability to brainwash?

Just when Vico was already confused, something happened in the main city. Just now, Misard received a message saying that Lavinson, the temporary captain of the Royal Guard, wanted to see him. The news received from the person who sent the message seemed to be Lavinson being prepared to surrender to him.

"The people from the Royal Guard are also going to surrender?" Of course, Misade doesn't know what the situation is now. Anyway, it seems that the people in the city don't know why they support him. He has never enjoyed this feeling of being supported by him. He tasted the taste of the emperor for the first time. At this time, the people from the Royal Guard also said they wanted to join him. While they were surprised, Misade was a little doubtful, "Will it be a fraudulent surrender? I don't have any guards now..."
