The Sargon chieftain collected taxes two hundred years into the future!

The chiefs, who had been bribed in advance, along with the Pasha in the city, quickly filled these vacancies with money.

However, a few people still saw through the true nature of the matter, but they had long since lost any possibility of struggling.

For example...

A few months after the Second Prince ascended the throne, in a library.

"Sargon is doomed."

An elderly man dressed in fine clothes looked at his family and expressed the despair he felt.

"The destruction of the Golden City is inevitable, my children. Before those guys find us, get as far away as possible. My dear granddaughter and grandson, haven't you always wanted to be explorers? Now is the time."

The girl, who called herself Peipei, looked at her grandfather with eyes full of reluctance, while simultaneously gripping her younger brother's hand tightly.

The young girl, still unaware of the world's harsh realities, wondered, "What happened in this city? Why are there so many new faces everywhere? Why are all the people next door gone? The streets are so empty."

"I should have foreseen this outcome, caused by the infighting among the nobles. The most fatal flaw is the fickleness of the dying."

Peipei belonged to the Pasha class, a noble status in Sargon second only to the Emperor of Sargon.

Even so, they couldn't possibly save their lives.

Anyone who opposes the Second Prince will be beheaded the next day, without even being able to utter a single cry of pain.

As night deepened, young Peipei, holding the hands of her parents and younger brother, rode away from the Golden City in a camel-drawn cart laden with treasures.

Not far away, atop the city walls shrouded in yellow sand, the Utopia Warrior, concealed, had a clear view of everything the Peipei family was doing.

Chapter 533: Chief Sargon has been collecting taxes for two hundred years!

"My lord, the target has left the designated area. Should we proceed with the interception?"

"No need. Although the Pasha family does hold a very high position in the Golden City, they can no longer influence the overall situation. We must proceed steadily according to plan, stirring up trouble among the people and inciting slaves to rebel against the rule of the nobles."

Sargon was ultimately just a feudal dynasty, and the top leaders could never share the benefits they held. Therefore, according to the normal historical cycle, it was very easy for it to fall into a vicious cycle.

Suppressing riots requires money and resources, which can only be obtained by exploiting the lower classes. When the people can no longer survive, they continue to rebel, creating even more rebels.

Unless Sargon possesses the power to defeat the entire world single-handedly, the wave of resistance from the lower classes will only grow stronger, especially now that utopia is fueling it.

The Second Prince was arguably the most eccentric Emperor of Sargon in history, indulging in extreme hedonism from the very first day of his reign.

He indulged in debauchery, throwing lavish parties in the palace, and neglected all other matters while in control of the army.

Aside from military power, almost all authority was distributed to the kings and chieftains below them. As long as they could provide stable tax revenue, they could do whatever they wanted.

To please this mad emperor, the kings and chieftains amassed wealth and sent chests of treasure to the capital, while countless amounts of food and resources gradually flowed into the Second Prince's treasury.

Whether it's beautiful women or rare treasures, the Second Prince can enjoy everything Sargon has to offer.

But what will be the cost?

The cost was that the lower-class slaves and common people could no longer survive. The taxes they had to pay every day increased several times over. In addition to a fixed share, they also had to pay a percentage tax. Without the restraint of the state, the kings and chiefs completely let themselves go and gained far more wealth than before in just a few months.

Without the restraint of the Former Emperor Sargon, the entire country was like a wild horse, galloping headlong into the abyss.

The Huang Cao fleet also kept circling the border, making the chieftains feel very insecure, but the newly enthroned Emperor of Sargon had no intention of dealing with this and only wanted to enjoy himself.

He still believed that Master Huang would not break the agreement, but he couldn't say these things to anyone else.

Therefore, the kings and chieftains increased taxes to build up their security forces.

With the support of various taxes, the Sargon, who were on the side of the feudal system, even had to pay taxes on breathing, and their daily working hours instantly soared to more than twenty hours.

Large numbers of people were enslaved because they could not pay taxes, and after losing their human rights, they suffered even more brutal exploitation.

About six months later...

A small uprising broke out around the capital, but it was quickly suppressed by the army.

But this uprising was just the beginning. From then on, all sorts of small-scale uprisings, big and small, sprang up all over the country like mushrooms after rain.

Although none of these things affected the rule of the feudal dynasty, they undoubtedly sent a signal.

Ordinary people could no longer endure such cruel exploitation; to endure it meant certain death, and to rebel also meant certain death.

A lose-lose situation is better than a win-win situation!

Whether it's the Crocodile People in the rainforest or the nomads in the yellow sand, everything seems to be stirring.

They all shouted the same slogan: Make the emperor pay the price!

Meanwhile, amidst these widespread voices, the reputation of Utopia gradually grew.

Because while they were suffering terribly, life was good next door, so many refugees began to escape and head towards the utopian land.

Huang Cao naturally accepted all these people without hesitation, while also sending some of the more loyal ones to the other side to attract as many people as possible to his side.

Thanks to Master Huang's series of actions, a voice soon began to circulate in the Sargon region, which was under the control of the Second Prince:

The just Master Huang is about to arrive at his loyal Sargon, bringing true happiness to all.

This voice grew louder and louder, finally reaching his ears a year after the Second Prince ascended the throne.

The Second Prince wanted an explanation from Master Huang, but he found that no matter how many letters he wrote, he could not get a formal response from Utopia.

He dared not reveal his secret collusion with Utopia, because if he did, his subordinates would have a reason to completely overthrow him.

One night, the Second Prince, driven to desperation, realized he could no longer remain passive.

Just as he was about to use this incident to threaten Master Huang, a gleaming long knife was placed against his neck.

Above him stood the Utopia Warrior he had driven out of the palace a few months earlier.

"Didn't you leave? This might be a breach of trust!"

On his deathbed, the Second Prince asked, puzzled.

"We just leave because we say so? And as long as we do it cleanly, no one will know about my lord's so-called promise to you. What right do you have to make promises to the great Utopia's leader?"

With a swift stroke, the Second Prince was instantly decapitated.

At the same time, the moment Huang Cao learned of the Second Prince's death, she completely stopped acting.

He led his army into the other half of Sargon.

Furthermore, a large number of Abundance Warrior were airdropped and headed straight for the Undead Legion. The most troublesome aspect of conquering Sargon was the combat power of this elite group, but Master Huang's army was not to be underestimated.

The moment the Abundance Warrior made contact with the Undead Legion, tentacles sprouted from their bodies, absorbing all of the Undead Legion's driving energy.

The battle ended unusually quickly, because no one expected that the Utopia army would actually enter from the sky.

After dealing with Sargon's elite troops, the remaining royal army was nothing more than a bunch of scattered soldiers.

This is thanks to the group's previous acts of evil.

This caused the people in their territory to hate them intensely. Wherever they went, someone would tip them off, and after their defeat, there was no way they could escape the search of Utopia.

In a sense, there is cause and effect in this world; what goes around comes around.

Huang Cao didn't waste any words. Every time he captured a chieftain, he would hold a public trial in the local area to give all the oppressed slaves a good venting of their anger.

Meanwhile, after the public trial concluded, Utopia staff began data entry near the bodies of these individuals, solemnly promising:

"All Sargon who receive an ID card automatically gain citizenship, all previous indentures are nullified, and they are also entitled to their own land."

Master Huang's promise spread like wildfire across the Sargon desert and rainforest.

Soon, Sargon from all over the world responded.

Previously, under the Second Prince's tyranny, over 90% of the country's population were slaves, with the rest being nobles.

How can such a country be vibrant, and how can it withstand the judgment of justice?
