Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

"Dirrell, I know your original intention is good, but you have not considered the actual situation. You only work eight hours a day, which also includes time for eating and resting. What about the rest of the time? What do you ask those workers to do?"

"They have the freedom to use their time, whether they choose to work or do things they are interested in. If they choose to work, they should be paid more than they normally do. This is what they deserve."

On the street where the strong smell of blood still lingered, a pair of young men and women walked along the wide road on the pier. Passers-by seemed to be unable to see them, but when approaching them, they would actively avoid them.

"Just by letting the paladin take over the security of this city, you have already plunged this city into turmoil. After what happens here is transmitted to various port cities, the number of merchant ships arriving here may be halved, or even eliminated. more than.

Now, if you ignore the actual situation and legislate to forcibly increase the wages of workers and increase the expenses of merchants, fewer and fewer merchant ships will arrive here. This port will be abandoned by merchants. "

"Who would abandon a city taken over by paladins?"

Di Ruier looked at Su Hailun, his eyes like the midsummer sky made the girl afraid to face him,

"Unrest? This is only temporary. This port will become the safest city under my management. As for what you said, merchants' expenses on hiring workers have increased, but haven't you thought about it?

After the city was cleaned up by the paladin, there were no longer any gang members or corrupt officials asking for fees from them. The actual expenses were greatly reduced. Merchants doing legal business would never be afraid of this place. "

"But official corruption cannot be eliminated."

Su Hailun groaned in pain. She could see at a glance the hidden drawbacks of the various policies implemented by Tyrell after he took over the city. She wanted to dissuade her, but the dragon's will was firm. Don't listen to her at all.

"I answered the same question many years ago, and then I received the award that made me who I am today."

Tyrell glanced at Su Hailun.

"Your Majesty the Dragon God?!"

Jin Long guessed it immediately,

"What was your answer then?"

"Kill! Kill as many as you find."

"you……"

Su Hailun was speechless, and then sighed,

"No wonder you like the Paladins so much. Only the Paladins can implement your ideas, but they can't stay here forever. They will leave sooner or later."

"Who says they can't stay here forever? There will always be a place for paladins in my city."

Tyrell couldn't help but laugh.

"Wait a minute, those decrees you implemented were all to retain the paladins and gain their favor? Do you want the paladins to serve you and be loyal to you?"

Seeing the somewhat proud smile on Di Ruil's face, Su Hailun paused. Suddenly, she seemed to understand Di Ruil's thoughts. She couldn't help but speak louder, but in the past Pedestrians still didn't look at them.

"Is this how you miss me?"

After hearing Jin Long's words, Di Ruier looked at Su Hailun and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"I guessed wrong? You didn't want to do anything to those paladins?"

Tyrell's gaze caused the girl's smile to freeze before she could even bloom.

Paladins are a profession that pursues the path of perfection. It is very normal for bronze dragons to have a favorable impression of such a group.

However, the ultimate good that can be recognized by the paladin is so rare that it can even be said to not exist. However, the political decree implemented by Tyrell can definitely be recognized by the paladin. This has never happened in the world.

"Of course I want to gain the recognition of the paladins and establish friendly relations with them, but this is not the main reason why I issued the decree."

Tyrell certainly knows that the various policies he implements are not in line with the current environment, or even in line with the understanding of the vast majority of people. Some workers even cannot accept it themselves and feel at a loss.

Without any effort, I was suddenly liberated from heavy labor and had free time, but I didn't know what to do.

They subconsciously want to continue working, but if they continue to work outside the prescribed time, the employer will have to pay three times the remuneration, and few are willing.

This makes many workers feel a little at a loss, but Tyrell believes that they will adapt sooner or later, and they should learn to adapt.

The world of Carlos seems backward, but in fact the productivity that the upper level can possess has already completely exceeded his world as a human being. The top forces have the ability to conquer and colonize other planes.

But even among such powerful forces, most of the people at the bottom still live in extremely difficult circumstances. Almost no one will consider them, let alone distribute their own interests to them. After all, this has been the case for thousands of years.

The son of a noble should naturally become a noble. Even if he is not, he can still obtain excellent assets and become a decent upper class person. The son of an untouchable is still an untouchable, running around all day long to satisfy his hunger.

Nobility and meanness are determined at the moment of birth, and everyone takes it for granted, just like the laws of the world. The sun rises, the moon sets, the tide rises and falls. This is how it should be.

Even Jin Long thinks so. After all, she is one of the naturally noble beings. She is born with everything that most living creatures cannot achieve.

However, Tyrell is different. He has bathed in the brilliance of the sun and knows how people should live under the sun.

Therefore, after he walked through Punolando, he issued many decrees that made people feel confused. Even his kind could not understand him, but the paladin was happy.

"I can't bear that intelligent races are like wild beasts, running around all day long for food. Intelligent races should not live like livestock, intelligent races should look like intelligent races."

It’s because I really can’t stand it anymore. I can’t stand a hard-working person who spends all his time and energy during the day, even overdrawing his life, and the reward he gets can only buy enough food to keep his family alive. Brown bread harder than a brick.

How could this be?

Of course it shouldn't be.

Therefore, Tyrell forcibly issued a political order that was not understood by the vast majority of people. If he has such power, then the city should obey his will. As for those who are unwilling to obey and make changes, then Be crushed.

"I probably understand."

Hearing what Di Ruier said, Su Hailun looked at him blankly for a while, then laughed and couldn't help but joke,

"With your thinking, you might be able to become the first dragon paladin."

"Hahaha, that's not possible. I'm not suitable to be a paladin. Once I take office, I'll probably fall into depravity soon."

Tyrell also laughed and shook his head.

The conditions for becoming a paladin are too harsh. Not only that, after becoming a paladin, you must strictly abide by your oath. Once you make inappropriate actions, you may fall and lose the protection of divine power.

Therefore, if you are just an ordinary person, no matter when you meet a paladin at any time or in any environment, you can trust the other party without reservation. They are the most trustworthy people.

"makes sense."

"Then again, do you think the decree I implemented can really win the favor of the paladin?"

"Of course you can. There is no other lord in the whole world who treats human civilians like you do, and he is also an alien lord."

"Well, let me think about it."

Tyrell began to think about it. It would be a lie to say that he had no idea about the Holy Warriors, let alone him, even those high-ranking gods.

Paladins may have no specific beliefs and simply believe in order and justice, but they may also believe in specific gods, such as the God of Courage and the God of Justice.

Gods of the lawful good alignment are eager to have a group of paladins as followers. No lawful good god will refuse their worship and will be more than happy to give them power when they need it.

At certain special moments, in order to protect their paladin followers, the gods would even do extremely outrageous things, directly upgrading a plain ordinary weapon into an artifact that only paladin can use.

This is not to mention lowering the blood capital, or even lowering the divine capital. If you perform similar operations too often, you can even make the gods fall from their thrones, but the gods are willing to favor the holy warriors in this way.

“If you directly invite someone for employment, you will most likely be rejected.”

Tyrell looked at the corpses on both sides of the road, and suddenly caught a glimpse of several children playing in the sand on the roadside. His eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea.

"I have an idea."

There is a famous saying that goes well: a gentleman bullies others, and moral kidnapping is of no use to people without morals, but vice versa.

"Do you have any idea?"

"You'll know then."

"Are you still trying to get along with me?"

Su Hailun was suddenly dissatisfied.

"Stop talking about this, how are your negotiations with the Bultan royal family going?"

"We haven't reached a conclusion yet, but my negotiations with the Jimenez family have made new progress."

"What progress?"

"They agreed to give you a piece of plain surrounding Punolando."

"Plain?"

"After crossing the mountain range, you can see a plain. The soil quality there is not bad, and the food produced is enough to feed three million people."

"food?"

Tyrell squinted his eyes and glanced at the towering mountains that stretched across the land in the distance, with even snow on the top of the mountain. Then he reached out and touched the head of the girl next to him.

"Thank you very much, you helped me eliminate a big hidden danger."

"I have full authority to negotiate with those humans on your behalf. Of course I will not agree to let you have a territory controlled by humans."

"It's actually not a big problem."

When he entered Punolando, Tyrell noticed the unusual food prices in the city. This was mainly caused by the panic caused by the collective flight of the nobles, and then the grain merchants drove up the prices.

However, after Tyrell sent out the paladins, the city's food prices quickly returned to the original normal level, even lower than usual food prices.

Raising basic commodity prices, causing people to panic, and triggering turmoil in order, this is a mortal sin in the eyes of Tyrell, and the same is true in the eyes of the paladins.

In the same way, if the port city he rules cannot obtain food from the outside through trade at normal prices, then Tyrell does not mind talking to humans.

This is an act of war!

His legendary dragon lord can make the people below starve? Are you kidding me?

Even if he was going to starve, it would be the surrounding territories that would starve to the skin and bones first.

"Then I ask the Jimenez family to take back the grain-producing plain?"

Su Hailun glanced at Di Ruier angrily.

"Is there any reason to return the things that are in the hands of our dragon clan?"

"If you don't want it, you can give it back, hum!"

"Of course I want it. But the human family didn't ask for anything else?"

"They want you to keep their property in Puno Lando."

"Legitimate industries that can pass the paladin screening can of course be preserved. I will not infringe on private property."

"That's no problem."

As long as the nobles are slightly older, they will inevitably have gray industries and even black industries, but as long as they have a little bit of brains, they will not get involved personally, but will get involved through agents.

Because it cannot see the light, it is like asking the paladin to take action. There is no injustice under the paladin's evil-breaking slaying and the holy slaying.

At this moment, Tyrell asked the holy warriors to cleanse the city. A large number of nobles who had not had time to leave suffered. They were directly executed and had no peace after death. They were hung on wooden frames.

For treating the nobles so rudely and even cruelly, Tyrell would not only not receive any criticism on the surface, but would even be praised. As for how many people would insult him in private, and how many people would hate him in the dark, it would be unacceptable. And know it.

Even if one of the executed nobles had a background from a big family, it would be of no use, because the moment the noble was killed by the paladin, the noble would no longer be a noble, and would even have his or her surname erased, which was regarded as a disgrace.

No noble dares to question the paladin in public, and no family or force dares to openly retaliate against the paladin. This is suicidal.

"Tyriel."

"Um?"

"Do you mind if I become the Duke of Bultan Kingdom?"

"What? The Bultan royal family wants to canonize you?"

"Well, they let me choose the territory I want. At the same time, I only need to pay one silver coin to the royal family every year. It is enough. I can establish laws and develop the army without any restrictions."

"This royal family is really willing to give up."

Tyrell couldn't help but sigh,

"Then where do you want to choose your territory?"

"How about choosing a place nearby? They also gave me such favorable conditions because of your face. Without you, I would not be able to get the title of Duke and the benefits."

"As long as you like it, you don't have to ask me. If you can, ask for more benefits."
