Shameless is shameless, anyway, Emperor of Sargon already had no face left when he lost his territory.
After learning of Emperor of Sargon's shameless behavior, the emperors of various countries were speechless, but they really couldn't just ignore it.
Therefore, in order to achieve strategic goals, we must minimize our consumption as much as possible. At the very least, we must keep the Sargon state alive, and even ensure that it retains a certain level of combat capability.
So the various countries wanted to seize Sargon's sovereignty to make up for their losses, but without exception, they were rejected by Sargon's emperor.
And they made a threatening statement:
If you intend to use this opportunity to control Sargon's future, then I will have no choice but to join my enemies in sending you to hell.
In short, if you really dare to do that, I will wipe you all out with the Abundance Army first, and then I will be swallowed up by these unkillable monsters.

Chapter 158 In terms of ability, you should sit at the same table as Little Te.
When a nation faces a life-or-death crisis, so-called international credibility is utterly worthless.
This is completely immoral and could even be called a betrayal, but in order to preserve the nation's vitality and rights, there was simply no other choice.
Faced with Sargon's warning, the emperors of various countries could only give up and suffer in silence.
After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If Sargon and Victoria cooperate from the inside, his expeditionary force might really be wiped out.
Emperor of Sargon clearly understood the current international situation of his country and made the most rational choice he could make in this era and circumstance.
A month later, on the High-speed Battleship where Huang Cao lived, a letter of negotiation was delivered from the Sargon Palace to his desk.
"Reporting to the lord, Emperor of Sargon and the marshals of many countries have requested to negotiate with us."
"What kind of talk is this? The so-called negotiation is just a piece of waste paper. In the end, we can just tear it up whenever we want."
Huang Cao tore up the negotiation letter without even glancing at it.
The so-called negotiations were just a test of his methods. He was stuck here. Did these allied forces really think they could join forces to attack him?
Do the emperors above these marshals think they've already suffered enough losses lately?
At the same time, Huang Cao never expected that Emperor of Sargon would make such a decisive move, even at the risk of destroying his country to offend these so-called allies.
"It seems that this emperor is not as incompetent as imagined. Judging from his series of actions, apart from selling national land, he can be considered a ruler who can maintain the status quo."
So Emperor of Sargon was not entirely stupid, but why would he do something as outrageous as selling off national lands...?
Without this opportunity, I wouldn't have succeeded so quickly.
Emperor of Sargon: Can you imagine being the supreme ruler of a country, having to endure nagging from your ministers for even eating an extra piece of expensive cheese?
He listens to advice, but he listens to it a little too much.
It seems that he can't accomplish anything without the ministers in the palace, so he can only be a ruler who maintains the status quo.
Although he doesn't have any special skills, he can be described as decisive in his actions.
However, based on a comprehensive assessment of their abilities, this guy still has to sit at the same table as Theresia.
Because after the war began, the emperor openly knew that it was Victoria's invasion.
Faced with the invasion of a powerful nation, Sargon surprisingly sent out a motley crew of chieftains, which led to the immediate loss of more than half of its territory.
They only mobilized their elite troops when the enemy was almost at the palace gates, demonstrating a military capability far inferior to Theresia's.
However, Emperor of Sargon's actions laid the foundation for Huang Cao's subsequent territorial development.
At least the marshals of the multinational coalition were all arguing with Emperor of Sargon and didn't have the extra energy to deal with their own situation.
This is what you'd call a feudal army with Terra characteristics: they'd already started dividing up the spoils before even dealing with their biggest threat.
Not afraid of breaking your teeth.
Another month passed, and after all the prisoners had been settled, Huang Cao stopped playing games with those who had come to him.
So it's time to legislate here!
Therefore, Master Huang announced:
From this day forward, anyone who comes to my territory within the next three years will be granted free citizenship and enjoy all the rights of a free person. No one, except the lord, may arbitrarily deprive them of their life and liberty.
Everyone was allocated their share of land, which belonged to the lord. They only needed to pay an agricultural tax once a year, which was 10% of the harvest each year.
The slaves who escaped from Chief Sargon exclaimed, "Where did this benevolent official come from?"
The slaves below, who had been ravaged beyond recognition by the feudal aristocracy, had long since deeply remembered Master Huang's kindness.
Not only would they let us eat and drink for free in the prisoner-of-war camp, but they were also willing to give us land and grant us the status of free people.
The annual tax rate is only 10%, and it is based on the harvest.
Taking into account the prisoners' uncorrupted minds, Huang Cao specially created a taxable field when distributing the land.
The area of the taxable land is about 10% of the allocated land. When paying taxes, you only need to harvest the crops planted on it and hand them over.
It's convenient and saves on manpower. As for those who might deliberately avoid planting this area because they're lazy...
The tax collectors will let these fools properly demonstrate what it means to be aristocratic and leisurely; the sticks in their hands are not just for show.
After all, this taxable field is quite large, and it's right next to the land that doesn't need to be taxed, so it's obvious whether they're focusing on cultivating it or not.
You're given such good conditions and you still dare to disobey them? It seems you want to suffer the same fate as nobles in other countries.
Our Master Huang won't tolerate people who take advantage of others but don't want to contribute; once discovered, they will be stripped of their civil rights.
If you don't cultivate this land, plenty of others will. Huang Cao says, "I haven't abolished the feudal aristocracy; this job should be left to the future Ursus bears."
Although if a better system emerges in Terra's land in the future, Master Huang might use it.
But now is definitely not the time; most countries are competing to see who is the worst.
As expected, once the order was given, everyone behaved themselves.
Meanwhile, once the situation had completely stabilized, Huang Cao used the already-built transnational train to transport the administrative institutions he had cultivated from Kazdel's Eden of Eden.
I came to this land to enjoy life, not to be a beast of burden. How can a nobleman live a life worse than the common people?
Therefore, long before acquiring this land, he had already established the necessary administrative institutions.
Otherwise, after conquering each piece of land, we would have to select talent again, and then wait for decades to digest it. Not to mention how slow that process is.
I'm afraid that if I get busy, I won't be able to go home for several years.
Sometimes having too much territory isn't a good thing, especially since technology isn't advanced enough yet, making management extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Master Huang had the foresight to cultivate the intellectuals in his former territory.
When conquering a new territory in the future, these ambitious and proactive young people can become the best tools for their rule.
The great lord has prepared a sky for you all to display your talents and ambitions; whether you can create your own story depends on you.
Huang Cao has full confidence in the people he personally trained.
With his loyalty to the Huang Cao and his attitude of not treating foreign subjects as slaves, he could have done a better job Sargon's chieftain if he had just a little bit of humanity.
This is also why Huang Cao somewhat looked down on Emperor of Sargon; he listened too much to advice and ignored the fact that the people below were oppressed.
He only cared about the continuation of his own dynasty, completely disregarding the lives of his people.

Chapter 159: Meeting the Antlered Goddess Again! A New Blessing.
In the summer, Sargon's war completely ceased.
Meanwhile, other countries also received messages from afar, and were deeply shocked by Victoria's formidable military strength.
Although the new nobles in the Upper House all knew that it was the Speaker's doing, they were not shy about taking credit for themselves when it came to it.
By now, the vast majority of members of the Upper House have inherited their families' rights and property.
These people are all die-hard fans of Huang Cao. If it weren't for the Speaker's help, Victoria would never have surpassed Gaul and become more prosperous as it is today.
Therefore, without hesitation, all the firepower of various countries was drawn to Victoria.
Therefore, the major powers in the world only know about the Abundance Army, but do not know which faction this army truly belongs to.
Now that Victoria has been honest, other countries are willing to believe her.
Although Victoria has gone further and further down the path of being unethical, her strength remains undeniable.
After this battle, High-speed Battleship officially entered the historical stage.
Furthermore, countries around the world have begun to work overtime to research this technology, which has even indirectly promoted the development of Mobile City.
The Emperor of Gaul, in particular, was almost in tears, because the High-speed Battleship were the country's trump card for attacking Leithanian in the future.
Now things are much better; countries around the world are starting to study it, and Victoria has even gained a significant advantage over them.
To this day, Gaul has no more than twenty High-speed Battleship.
From the start to the end of the war.
When Huang Cao finished halfway through the Sargon dungeon and stopped, more than half a year had passed.
"The speed is indeed a bit slow. If this strength were given to a more radical person, this country would probably have become a feast for Abundance long ago."
Huang Cao sighed softly. "What can I do? I'm just a kind-hearted Master Huang. Maybe I haven't completely become the kind of person I hate."
At night, under the twinkling stars, Huang Cao, who hadn't slept for three whole months, drifted into a deep sleep.
In the vast Milky Way, he saw the Goddess with antlers on her head again.
"Does the Yaoshi have any instructions?"
Huang Cao already knew the name of the Antlered Goddess in front of him.
Because this was something He had told him personally, the Yaoshi remained silent, only revealing a very kind smile.
Then, from among his thousands of eyes, he picked one and handed it to the young man in front of him.
Accept it. The power within you is far deeper and stronger than mine. Perhaps my power is insignificant to your future, but this gift, a result of goodwill, will always belong to you.
The Yaoshi had seen everything the boy had done. This was neither a result of fate nor a rule of Imaginary.
Rather, it was the all-encompassing characteristic inherent in the boy's body that allowed Him to directly perceive the boy's actions across countless universes.
The Power of Abundance used by the boy shows that he put his strength to good use.
Most of the time, the Yaoshi rarely gives blessings to intelligent beings on his own initiative; in most cases, it is others who ask Him for strength.
He is also aware of his current impact on the universe, and therefore often feels sadness.
Swallow this eye that represents life, and from then on you will be able to see the life contained within anyone, and no death in the world will escape your eyes.
The power within you will greatly amplify the blessings I bestow upon you, but please be careful to follow your heart. Whether it is pleasure or destruction, do not let the power cloud the love in your heart. This is not a request, but a sincere blessing.
When the Yaoshi bestowed the blessing, He already knew that the young man before Him would never disappoint His hopes.
Not to mention that the other Terra is in great chaos, there are quite a few eccentric characters even in our own universe.
As the Star God Abundance, He is very clear about the meaning of Abundance, but He cannot expect others to be as selfless as He is.
Perhaps it was because this child in front of me had a kind heart from the very beginning that I was able to connect with him.
Isn't this also a two-way journey?
It was all preordained; perhaps this is fate.
Although I don't know what the Goddess is saying, or what is special about my body.
But the blessed Huang Cao offered to them for free is not to be refused.
Shortly after swallowing the eyeball, Huang Cao felt that his Imaginary Energy was more abundant and that his eyes seemed to become a little clearer.
Although it might be strange to have this feeling in a dream... it's as if your body is really in the universe, facing the Antlered Goddess.
I hope we can meet again someday in the future.
"When that time comes, I will prove to the whole world that your way of Abundance is definitely not something that everyone hates."
Huang Cao had a long conversation with the Yaoshi when he appeared in Huangcao's dream decades ago, and learned about Huangcao's current situation.
This is truly a case of fans' behavior being directed at the idol himself...
Everything in the world has its destiny. No matter how much life may despise me, I will always exist, I will always have compassion, and I will always give selflessly.
