Chapter 790 - 442_2
"This is the tax that should be paid to the Holy Dragon Emperor, this is Noah’s money!"The Hall of Radiance erupted instantly, no Dragon-man could sit still anymore because this amount of tax was simply too colossal.
Before the rise of the Holy Dragon Land, the most prosperous area on the Xilantia Continent was the Southern Continent, where commerce was most thriving.
Coastal city-state fleets could engage in transoceanic trade with other continents. When Southern countries became vassals under the Atlas Kingdom’s jurisdiction, following the Augustus family’s reconstruction and organization of the South, the order of the Southern countries unified into one, becoming more prosperous, and different voices emerged in the Holy Dragon Land.he Xilantia Continent as the homeland should maintain absolute unity, no dissonant nations should exist."
All the Dragon-men expressed their own voices, just that their proposals became more and more radical, and increasingly outrageous, yet their core points and demands were very clear and direct.
They were dissatisfied with the privileged status and superior treatment the Augustus family enjoyed on the continent, so they demanded weakening the support and assistance for this family, stripping them of the land they controlled, reclaiming all the Southern Provinces that should belong under the Holy Dragon’s rule, preferably also incorporating the Atlas Kingdom into control.
As for how to handle the Augustus family, the Dragon-men discussed relocating, a common practice in small noble’s elevation to nobility, but lacking surrounding land to be conferred, would move them, the advantage being a larger territory, the downside being the clearing of the family’s centuries of accumulation, having to start afresh.
"I will truthfully report your proposals and demands to the Holy Dragon Emperor!"
Faced with this increasingly aggressive, coordinated, and unified Dragon-man group, Sifreya, the Fairy Queen who was once the first Clan under Noah, had no choice but to make a promise.
"You think we don’t know you? The Holy Dragon Emperor is not in Elisim right now."
"Unresolved monarch worry, dare to resign labor, shouldn’t we as servants notify the Holy Dragon Emperor about everything, and have the Holy Dragon Emperor make decisions? Can’t we wait until we’ve done it and present a good result to His Majesty?"
Facing such stable and conservative measures from the Fairies, Dragon-men were particularly dissatisfied because in their view, this was an opportunity.
"You dare to make decisions without the Holy Dragon Emperor’s opinion, to handle the Augustus family?"
Lu Tixiya’s eyes revealed a look of shock and anger, she did not expect this group of Dragon-men had gone mad to such an extent that they dared to take action against the Augustus family.
She knew well the significance of this family to the Holy Dragon Emperor, even if its members have proliferated to dozen generations, the Emperor still pays attention to the birth of every member of the Augustus family, especially those children with good qualities.
"Precisely because we know the relationship between the Emperor and the Augustus family, so, we are dealing with the Augustus family’s issues during Noah’s absence and ignorance, as for all the crimes and consequences from this, let us insignificant servants bear them!"
Ostrara’s eyes again showed the light of martyrdom, he was unafraid of death.
"Aren’t you worried that Noah will hold you accountable? Aren’t you afraid the doors of the Heroic Spirit Hall will forever close on you?"
Lu Tixiya couldn’t understand, she didn’t doubt the loyalty of this group of Dragon-men to Noah, but precisely because of this, she couldn’t understand why this group dared to act without consulting His Majesty’s opinion, to deal with His Majesty’s most valued human family.
"Sifreya, Lu Tixiya, haven’t you seen the financial budget submitted this year? Tidel is constantly waging wars abroad, the Forbidden Army, Dragon Guard, Battle Group, all need expansion.
And the development of weapons, city maintenance, everything costs money, now His Majesty wants to build a Floating City, have you calculated how huge an expense this is?
Under such circumstances, the Augustus family occupying such massive tax sources is unreasonable. Without acting against them, how can we fulfill the Holy Dragon Emperor’s instructions?"
