Chapter 454 We Promise to only Eliminate the Main Culprit

Charles returned to the Resurrection Kingdom, feeling grateful.

Fortunately, I had conducted a very detailed inspection in the kingdom before, and had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the four main occupations of farmers, herdsmen, soldiers, and craftsmen.

On this basis, in order to better obtain intelligence, Charles established long-term good friendships with the Yao people and the Baigu ancestors who supported the local area.

These relationships are of great use right now.

Charles remained silent at first and learned about the various export commodities produced by the Resurrection Kingdom.

The kingdom's exports mainly include sweet potatoes, meat, leather and some herbal medicines, with agricultural products mainly exported.

The prices of local beef, sheep, and chicken are relatively low, and the price of sweet potatoes is even cheaper—dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato powder are 20% cheaper. Leather and herbs are relatively the most expensive, but the unit price is not high.

In addition, there are some special products that are not sold to the public, such as bone horses and skeleton dogs.

Charles further confirmed the value of these local products to avoid possible price hikes by the Yao people when negotiating trade later.

After he found out the details, he approached Zhi Chong to discuss cooperation.

"Huh? Apart from feces, Inushiro, what else do you want these things? I thought you needed corpses..."

The wise insect was a little surprised, but it didn't ask any more questions. Instead, it said readily: "It's all a transaction anyway, no problem. As long as you still pay with the fire of faith, we have no problem."

As the person in charge of the specific business, Zhi Chong’s words are effective.

So the two sides agreed on a new list.

Light items include meat, leather, sweet potatoes, herbs, ores and other commodities.

Charles listed it in detail. Everything about the Resurrection Kingdom was written down. At least two copies of each category were required. For this, he paid 1 million for the Fire of Faith.

"I didn't expect Kebuli to be interested in these things. I'll come here often." The wise insect completed another transaction and smiled happily.

With the foundation in the past, this transaction was extremely fast.

Charles brought several carts of goods into Dog City one after another.

Then, the undead warriors sent these things one by one to the area where Menis was.

Charles watched from the side the whole time.

The appearance of the undead warrior made Menes, who was lying down and sleeping, slowly get up. He raised his head with a red and white crown and stared at the visitor with his bandaged eyes.

He did not launch an attack, but seemed to realize something and stared at what the undead warriors presented.

Then, Menes raised his huge palm and crushed the contents of the cart on the ground into powder.

Charles felt nervous.

Still not working?

Menes slowly opened his fingers and moved the cross slightly: "Tribute... more tribute... tribute of surrender..."

"The winner...the only winner..."

Gradually, Charles understood the former titular god who had become an instinctive monster.

For Menes, tribute represented surrender, and the continuous flow of tribute meant recognition and awe of his status.

As for what the tribute is, it doesn't seem to matter.

The direct effect of tribute is that Menes will regard the groups who submit tribute as subjects, and he will also provide them with protection.

Trading some tribute for peace and the protection of the mighty Menes is worth it on a strategic level.

The price of peace is the prestige, power and wealth of the Tomb King Khebri.

Charles sighed in his heart.

Your Majesty really sacrificed too much for the overall situation.

In fact, Khebli could not have chosen to compromise.

He can lead the black jackals and undead warriors to move away without confronting Menes. He can even wait for Menes to defeat other demigods and monsters, and then reap the benefits and collect the remaining forces and corpses.

Dog City is actually very big, and can accommodate two kings.

But Kebli chose not to retreat, which instead represents another attitude: he will face Menis, the strongest monster that has ever resurrected in Dog City head-on!

Kebli once made a declaration to all undead warriors: "I will not retreat, I will stay here and work with my warriors to find a way to deal with Menes."

"There is no monster that cannot be tamed, and there is no challenge that we dare not face!"

"This is our city, this is our battlefield!"

…

After a period of paying tribute, Charles discovered that his previous idea was wrong.

Menes indeed did not care what the tribute was.

It is true that he has not awakened his intelligence from the ignorant animal state, but he still cannot be fooled.

The same tribute, beef last time and beef again this time, not only failed to please Menes, but also aroused his anger, causing him to kill the tribute recipients.

The tribute may not need to be something particularly valuable, but it cannot be something he has come into contact with or seen before.

Generally speaking, Menes only accepted tributes that were novel and had never been seen before.

Over the course of a few years, whenever Vanmenes showed signs of impatience and irritability and tried to invade further into the areas controlled by the undead warriors, Charles would send tributes in time to appease the giant who maintained his kingly instincts.

During this period, Menes killed a dozen powerful demigods occupying one side, further expanding the range of his radiation in several other directions.

In the north, west and center of Dog City, only the two major forces of Menes and Kebuli are left.

As time went by, the options for tribute that could be presented to Menes became smaller and smaller.

Charles had to ask the Yao tribe for help again - the entire Resurrection Kingdom had used up all the tributes, including skeleton dogs and bone horses.

"Charles, trade with them in my name and tell them that we need some goods."

This time, Kaybuli gave a clear order: "Don't think about hiding this fact, tell the Yao God openly that we need these things to paralyze a monster."

"If they are willing to continue trading, we will remember this friendship. If they maliciously raise the price, then there is no need to be humble, just come back."

Charles hesitated: "But if we lose the stable supply over there..."

"Don't worry, I'm not without a way."

There was a kind of stability in Kaybuli's voice: "Charles. Do you know why I have to use tributes to paralyze and stabilize Menes?"

Charles shook his head.

"Because deep under our feet, the remains of the Lord of Power are sleeping."

Charles' eyes suddenly widened.

"It turns out that Menes came to kill his enemies... But why should we stop him?"

Kabeli whispered: "In order to kill a wolf, a tiger is released. What kind of monster do we need to summon to deal with the tiger? This will become an endless chaos."

"My ability has touched Menes. The rest only needs time... Give me enough time, and I can complete the symbiosis with Menes. This monster will become the most loyal and powerful warrior of Dog City."

"Do you understand? Charles, I just need time."

"Go find the Yao tribe and try to get something from them that can buy time. Act according to circumstances, I allow you to represent Dog City."

...

Arriving in the Resurrection Kingdom again, Charles entered the Temple of God Yao for the first time.

There is a sacred power that makes him awed.

The gray statue of God Yao stands in the center of the hall. His face has no facial features, which means that the god cannot be looked at directly.

Guarding the Yao statue are a group of strange gods: the White God with a fanged beast head, the King Wuji who looks like a mountain, and the Ju God who looks like a conical tower.

There is a bonfire at the foot of the Yao statue, and the flames slowly pull the shadow of the statue, turning it into a dark side that covers the entire temple.

"Ms. Maocao, Lord Kebli hopes to trade with the Yao tribe... in order to use these novel items to lock up a powerful monster."

Charles briefly described his request.

"This is not a trivial matter. I need to pray to the gods and listen to the will of the oracle."

Maocao knelt at the foot of the Yao statue and waited quietly.

About a meal's time, she emanated a white halo and entered a strange state.

She whispered: "Mr. Kebli of the Dog City asked us for help..."

After a moment, the huge and omnipresent will slowly disappeared.

Charles felt a burst of powerlessness all over his body.

Maocao stood up slowly, the firelight made her cat-woman face flickering: "The gods have agreed. Please rest assured that the Yao tribe has always pursued win-win situations and safeguarded the common interests of friends who sincerely cooperate."

"Subsequent Yao tribe products will be shipped in batches from the Yao tribe world, and the transaction price will be converted according to the local Yao tribe price... I will sort out a detailed list and price list. After you read it, we can discuss any questions."

The new transaction went smoothly beyond imagination.

Until Charles brought several cars full of Yao tribe products back to Dog City, he felt like he was in a dream.

Maocao agreed straightforwardly, and the things sent by the Yao tribe were also full of sincerity.

There are basic materials such as wheat, garlic, cotton, potatoes, salt, and grapes, as well as processed products such as bows and arrows, cotton and linen fabrics, pottery, wood, lacquerware, and metal tools, and further cultural outputs, such as "A Brief History of the Tribe", "Tribal Trading Code", "History of the Changes in Yancheng", "The Wonderful Adventure of Pava", and "Ladybug Notes".

There are even steam carriages, double-city armor, flower boats, steam stoves, hanging lanterns, sky lanterns, hourglass timers, etc., which are the inventions of the Yao people.

Both the types and the quantity are incredibly rich.

Even Kebli sighed at these full supplies: "The civilization of the Yao people has developed very evenly, and has excellent output in many fields. This is what they have brought out... No wonder God Yao is confident and is not afraid of any changes in the Dog City. The strong always dare to show and accept new things."

"This is the attitude that the main god should have, and Lord Anubis was like this in the past."

The Yao people's goods were sent to Menis as tribute, but a strange thing happened.

Menis, who originally only cared about the tribute, was curious about something. He kept looking at the tribute, as if he wanted to understand the secret.

Then Menis' body suddenly shrank and became about the same height as an ordinary undead warrior.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on tinkering with a pile of wood, and seemed full of interest.

"Incredible..."

"War, the epitome and epitome of war... Command and Conquer..."

"This is a depiction of the gods, a microcosm of the world..."

"Wonderful, wonderful... Incredible... The Yao clan? God Yao... Come on, come on!"

"Why don't you answer? Come on!"

Menis, who usually seemed indifferent and manic, was actually obsessed with a pile of wood and parchment scrolls, talking to himself.

Charles, who was secretly observing, quickly turned out a stack of parchment scrolls.

The name and purpose of each Yao product is described on the leather scroll.

Charles' eyes stopped on a certain line.

it is this.

"War of Clans? No, the one with a lot of wooden statues is War of Clans 2: Seal of the Old Gods."

Charles was full of doubts.

This kind of wooden game actually arouses praise and excitement from Menis.

Charles also admitted that tribal war chess does have a magical quality.

Over in the kingdom, he often fought with the mage Andre and others around the campfire in the evening. Every time I play chess, after a little indulging in it, I realize that it's dawn, and when I wake up, it's dark again.

This is a game that eats up time and energy!

Kebli has a keen insight into the reason: "This is a specialty of civilization, with very strong civilization characteristics and special power. A god with a title like Menes will react very strongly to it."

"Very good, the effect of this war chess is worth a hundred ordinary tributes!"

"Is there anything else on the list?"

Charles looked through the scroll: "As for specialties, there are blast furnace honey wine, sour raspberry jam, and Guangming City tea."

Kebli's voice suddenly became lighter: "It seems that time is enough. Enough to get through these decades. As long as we maintain this stability, I can completely control Menis."

Charles listened silently.

"You go for a run now."

Kebuli pondered for a moment: "Since this Yao god has shown the magnanimity of the main god, we must not lose our etiquette. The price of this batch of specialties is far lower than the value it deserves... 4 civilized specialties are here in Menis It’s of extraordinary value, so I’ll give them the equivalent of 2 pieces of godhead to make up the difference.”

The King of Dog City put his hands behind his back: "This is also the respect due to a generous god... Maybe there will be cooperation in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

…

Charles brought the Godhead and Khebli's words true to form.

"We sincerely appreciate your candor and friendliness, and hope that we can have more and in-depth cooperation in the future."

Maocao said with a smile.

Suddenly she lowered her voice and warned: "Please be careful, Menis is a title god with extraordinary power, and its destructive power is unpredictable even within the seal of Dog City."

Charles looked horrified.

Do they actually know that the things are for Menis?

How can this be?

Maocao said with a serious face: "Also, please formally inform Lord Menis. If he continues to harass you, we will take all necessary actions to shut him up."

Charles is stupid.

What's going on?

Menes is clearly still in Dog City, so how can he possibly harass the Yao people...or the Yao God?

wrong.

Menes was dead, and all that remained was the monster in Menes' body.

This monster really can do anything.

Maocao continued: "If Dog City is willing to open up to the outside world, it would be best if we could directly sanction Menis. We promise to only remove the culprits and will not affect the normal operation of Dog City."

"..."

Charles was so confused that he didn't know how to answer.

If possible, Lord Cable might actually agree. Let Yao beat Menes half to death first, and then the symbiotic control will be much easier.

But the problem is, it can't be done.
