That's right. This meeting was arranged by Li Huailin. Initially, he planned to get rid of the Elves and Beasts according to the original plan. However, there were many troublesome aspects. Most importantly, the main city of the Elves had been destroyed, and the Teleportation Portal on the battlefield had yet to be constructed. Without a Queen, the Elves couldn't even choose a successor.
Li Huailin looked at the time. He was running out of time. After all, he still had to settle the matter in Byakee. Therefore, he decided to get rid of the Elves and Beasts at once. Since he had basically controlled the military forces of the three kingdoms (he hadn't settled the Humans yet), he should be able to force the Elves and Beasts to cooperate with him.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as he expected. The Orc Emperor, Gai Wandi, wasn't cooperating at all. Li Huailin almost made a move on him. Of course, if they really killed this Great Chieftain, it might really trigger a war on this continent. In the end, the Beastmen would be the unlucky ones. However, it was a war, after all. After all, it would take a while. Li Huailin also boasted that he could settle it today, so he spared Gai Wandi this time.
However, Gai Wandi was furious. Just as Li Huailin was about to make a move, Gai Wandi's subordinates came in. Although Li Huailin didn't hear the conversation between the two, it wasn't hard to guess what Gai Wandi had heard from his expression. He even guessed the Elves.
Gai Wandi's expression changed drastically after hearing his subordinate's report. He didn't know that Li Huailin didn't have much time to waste with them, nor did he know that Li Huailin had boasted about it. From the information he had obtained so far, this organization called the Continental Alliance really controlled the Human Race, the Dwarf Race, the Undead Race, and even the Demon Race. Now, four of the six major countries were in the hands of this guy, leaving only the Elves and himself. Would the Elves help him? Right now, they are still at war with us. Do you expect them to immediately negotiate with us and then deal with the four countries together? Let's not talk about whether it is realistic. Even if we unite, can we defeat the armies of the four countries?
Of course, Gai Wandi wanted to join Li Huailin's side. Although he had become the second strongest, the Humans, Dwarves, and the others were the same as him. It was just that everyone had one more person above them. If he didn't join, then he would be besieged by several other countries. The Beastmen certainly couldn't resist this threat. Facing this threat, Gai Wandi was afraid. However, he seemed to have offended the leader of the Continental Alliance. Was it too late to admit defeat now?
While Gawandi was still hesitating, the elders of the Elf Clan discussed for a while and suddenly spoke.
"Sir, do you want us elves to join your organization?" The one who spoke was Elder Trau. Although the elves hadn't received any information regarding the Humans and Dwarves, after some discussion, they had decided to believe it.
"Of course, it would be best if you are willing to join." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"As long as you agree to one condition, we Elves will join." Elder Trau immediately said, "I hope that sir can mobilize the allied army to eliminate the Beastmen."
Yes, what the Elves meant was that since Li Huailin controlled the armies of the four countries, then they should attack the Beastmen. First of all, they already had enmity with the Beastmen. They only wanted to stop the war because of their internal strife. Now that they had the opportunity to take revenge, of course they would do it. Moreover, Gai Wandi had already provoked Li Huailin. They were just pushing the boat with the current and giving the Beastmen a push.
Hearing Elder Trau's words, the Beastmen exploded. Although it wasn't confirmed yet, Gai Wandi had basically believed it. So when he heard that the Elves wanted to trip them up, he immediately jumped up. Just as he was about to get angry, Gai Wandi suddenly thought that this might be an opportunity. He didn't know how to get out of this embarrassing situation, but the Elves also helped him. Therefore, Gai Wandi immediately said, "The Beastmen can join as long as you agree to mobilize the allied army to eliminate the Elves."
After saying that, Gai Wandi and Elder Trau looked at each other angrily. Yes, Gai Wandi's meaning was that the Elves and the Elves had a bigger enmity. Since the Elves wanted to mess with them, then they should also deal with the Elves. In that case, they should join.
"I won't agree to any of your conditions." Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with them, so he directly said, "Now I'm asking you whether you want to join or not. If you don't join, then the allied army will naturally come to settle accounts with you. If you join, then we are on the same side. You should understand this simple question. Alright, I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to join my Continent Alliance? "
In fact, both the Elves and the Beastmen had the intention to join. They were both worried about the allied army of the four countries. They were also worried that the other side would make things difficult for them, so it was impossible for them to cooperate. Besides, they had now figured it out. Joining Li Huailin's organization now wasn't permanent. It was just that they were forced by the current situation. In the future, when they had the strength, it wouldn't be an instant thing to rebel.
Therefore, soon, the Elves expressed their stance, then the Beastmen immediately followed. Both races also agreed to join Li Huailin's Continent Alliance. Until now, Li Huailin had finally unified the six major countries of the American Continent.
Of course, the meeting wasn't over yet. Now that Li Huailin had control over the six major countries of the American Continent, of course, he had to start implementing a new policy. First of all, Li Huailin's tax increase policy was the same as the Human Race and the Dwarf Race. Li Huailin's tax increase policy was 50%.
Although Gai Wandi had heard about this policy, he didn't expect the Beastmen to implement it. Wouldn't this cause a huge social upheaval? On the other hand, the Elves were shocked when they heard this for the first time. However, both sides didn't speak. After all, they had just joined the alliance. They were worried that the other side would make things difficult for them, so they didn't oppose it directly.
Other than that, there were similar policies like labor and military service. Both sides felt their scalps go numb when they heard it. They were worried that their people would survive under such a policy. Of course, they didn't care about the lives of these people. They were only worried that they would rebel if they couldn't survive.
However, this wasn't the end. Li Huailin quickly announced new policies. These new policies were not implemented by the Humans before. They were only proposed now. These policies were targeted at the gamers.
That's right. Since the entire American continent had been ruled, Li Huailin certainly had to give these American players a big gift. Li Huailin wasn't interested in exploiting these NPC civilians. He only wanted to increase their loyalty. The most important thing was to cause trouble for the American players.
Therefore, the new policies implemented by Li Huailin included doubling the price of goods targeted at the players in all cities. All players entering and leaving the city would be charged a poll tax. Players using the teleportation portal would be charged five times. Players' shop business tax would be increased five times. Players' auction agency fees would be increased five times. City stall fees would be increased five times. Players' jail time would be extended by 200%. They could also buy themselves out with money, but the cost was staggering.
However, Li Huailin quickly added that the extra fees collected from the players would belong to the countries themselves and didn't need to be handed over to him.
In an instant, these leaders understood Li Huailin's intention. That's right. This was a feudal society. They relied on exploiting the civilians to survive. Did you think that the civilians would not be exploited when they only collected 15% of the agricultural tax? Of course not. There were other ways to exploit them. Now that 65% of the taxes had been collected, the civilians couldn't even survive. What else could they exploit? Now that they heard Li Huailin's policy, everyone understood that Li Huailin wanted them to turn around and exploit the players. Now that they had no money, they could just ask the players for it.
These leaders weren't very concerned about the lives of these adventurers. If you want to increase the taxes, just do it. Moreover, this time, it was Li Huailin who asked them to increase the taxes. It wasn't their responsibility, so of course, they wouldn't object to these policies.
Then, they made some adjustments in other areas and discussed the details. After that, the Continental Conference officially came to an end. After the leaders returned, they immediately announced the contents of the conference to the entire country, including the fact that they had officially joined the Continental Alliance and the new policies that would be implemented soon.
When they saw the official contents of the new policies, everyone was stunned. Of course, the NPCs were overjoyed to welcome the new Continental Alliance. After all, their Affinity was through the roof. How could they not be happy with such a high tax?
Of course, the players were also in an uproar. What was going on? Double the price of goods? Five times the cost of teleportation? You're practically f * cking robbing me. " After taking a closer look, these new policies were implemented by the Continental Alliance. Everyone knew that the Continental Alliance was Li Huailin's force.
"Brother Awesome really made a move!"
"Hahahaha, the price of goods has doubled and the cost of teleportation has increased by five times. This time, the players in the Americas are going crazy. This is simply daylight robbery. All hail Brother Awesome!"
"He's really up to something."
