Chapter 1584 The Bottom of the Dragon's Lair
The war of the Dragon's Lair has officially begun. For the people of Dayan, this is a distant war.
People were still chatting under the big tree, as if the war had nothing to do with them.
But for the lower classes of Dragon's Lair, it was a war that tore them apart.
On the land of the dragon's lair.
In addition to the giant dragons, there are also a large number of dragon families living here.
To put it bluntly, these dragon followers develop dragon nests for the dragons.
Many of the dragons in the Dragon's Lair are lazy. They only know how to be lazy, or they don't know how to develop the Dragon's Lair at all.
So Velya brought some of her followers to the Dragon's Nest in order to let them develop the Dragon's Nest.
Otherwise, the dragon's nest will become a wasteland, and no one will be happy to see it.
The clans lived and multiplied in the deep mountains and forests of the Dragon's Lair, and developed the Dragon's Lair under the protection of the dragon.
But this kind of asylum is not free. If you want to receive asylum, you must pay something.
The dragons look down on these people's melons and two dates, but that doesn't mean they won't want them.
Dragons are greedy, so they will collect all the resources they can.
If the taxes paid by these relatives every year are only a small amount for them, then they will accumulate a lot.
They don't care about how much money they have.
For them, as long as they have money they are happy.
They love to plunder the common people, after all, plundering the common people can keep them well fed...
And it doesn't require any effort, just move your fingers.
Because the patriarchs of these tribes are very happy to accept the protection of the dragon. In their eyes, being a dog for the dragon is the highest honor.
But the patriarch cannot bear everything, so it is the common people who really pay everything.
Because of the patriarch's words, these people had to increase their taxes.
For the common people.
The faith in dragons is too far away.
Their only belief is to have enough food and warm clothes.
Unlike the team leader, these ordinary people work diligently and strive to live.
If it were normal times, these ordinary people could still make ends meet, but now it is different.
As the war began, the people of Dragon's Lair gradually realized that something was wrong because they found that the dragons began to impose more taxes.
In fact, these taxes are not collected by the dragon, but by the clan leaders, because the clan leaders need to send troops to capture the fortress and please the dragon.
If you want to expand the army, you must increase military spending. But where does the money come from? The patriarch can't pay from his own private treasury.
So taxes were imposed on the common people.
The situations of ordinary people vary.
Some ordinary people can barely make ends meet.
Even with increased taxes, we can still make ends meet.
But more ordinary people simply cannot bear such huge taxes. Their lives were already miserable, and now they have completely collapsed.
And the most abstract thing is that the clan leader not only wants money, but also wants to collect labor. After all, the front line needs soldiers. Where do these soldiers come from? Of course, they are recruited from the clan!
With just one word from the patriarch, the common people had to hand over the savings they had accumulated over the years and also had to send their children to the battlefield.
This makes it difficult for many ordinary people to accept this result, but the question is whether they can refuse it if they don’t accept it.
The patriarch is the emperor of the tribe.
The common people simply could not disobey the patriarch's words.
Faced with the patriarch's request, they could only choose to endure.
Many ordinary people chose to accept it silently at first, after all, they really couldn't let the patriarch down.
But sometimes you can't escape by giving in...
Inland area of Dragon's Lair.
In a thatched hut, a young boy was tidying up the hut.
He is a half-dragon.
He is also a member of the half-dragon clan.
Half-dragons are a combination of humans and dragons.
Not only does he possess the power of dragon blood, but he also possesses human wisdom.
Therefore, half-dragons are very popular in the Dragon's Lair.
After all, obtaining the blood of a dragon is not a good thing, and many people have suffered backlash because of it.
The other tribes didn't dare to offend the half-dragon tribe because they could find 78 ways to kill them.
Although the half-dragons have a high status, this is only the respect and attitude of the outside world towards the half-dragons.
In fact, the half-dragon clan is also very chaotic.
On the surface, he is a patriarch.
In fact, there are several elders who share power internally.
Although the dragon clan values the half-dragon clan, they are not in a position to interfere with the internal situation of the half-dragon clan.
After all, who would always keep an eye on other people's family affairs?
The dragon clan thinks very simply.
That is to let this group of relatives become self-reliant.
Therefore, several elders absorbed a lot of half-dragon people in order to prepare for the next election of the clan leader.
But this war changed its course.
The elders had no choice but to send their men to participate in the war, but the patriarch began to make trouble and tried every means to sow discord at this time.
Several elders' men suffered heavy casualties, and the patriarch became the final winner.
But the common people suffer the most...
There was a young man in this thatched hut.
The boy is a typical half-dragon, with certain dragon characteristics, but more of a human.
Among half-dragons, companion dragons care most about their dragon characteristics.
Because the more obvious the dragon characteristics are, the higher their status is.
Because the dragon bloodline is purer.
However, since half-dragons are the product of the union of dragons and humans, it is impossible for them to have only advantages.
The stronger the dragon bloodline, the lower the IQ of the half-dragon.
The more bloodlines a human has, the higher his IQ is. Of course, this is relative, and it does not rule out the possibility of a few freaks.
Not only does he have the blood of the dragon clan, but he also has the intelligence of a human.
But to be frank, this stuff is only a minority.
The boy is a half-dragon who is half-human and of low status.
However, his father is a powerful half-dragon.
The father's strength was not enough to protect the family, and he was directly sent to the army.
The mother happened to be at work and was not at home, so the boy took care of everything at home.
It’s not that the boy doesn’t want to work and study, but his bloodline determines that he cannot receive an education.
Perhaps having more human blood will make half-dragons smarter, but half-dragons never care about these half-dragons who are biased towards humans.
This is the dragon's foot, and your blood is simply dirtying the dragon's eyes!
The boy was confined at home, but this could not stop his ambition.
Originally, the young man planned to accumulate his experience and then overthrow the rule of the clan leader.
But a war disrupted his deployment.
He has to change the status quo as soon as possible, or put everything back on track as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, at this critical moment, a pleasant female voice came from outside.
"Ah Ming, are you there? How's your family doing? They're really taxing us now, and my family can't handle it anymore..."
(Good night)
