With skepticism in her heart, Tao Lexi temporarily left.
Upon returning to the Royal Palace, Tao Lexi drafted the notice according to the prescribed format: "Rand Kingdom Update Announcement: 1. Adjustment of the tax rate..."
To her surprise, her reforms, just as Lind had said, did not provoke any dissatisfaction from the Undead.
Before this, she had never considered that enacting a new tax policy did not require consideration of whether the residents of the territory were willing; once enacted, they would comply—that was the feeling.
This was a group of ten thousand Senior Grand Knights/High-rank Wizards, whom the current combat power of the Rand Kingdom was utterly unable to withstand.
The slightest unrest, once gathered, was enough to make any ruler tremble with fear.
Yet, this terrifying group of powerful beings, when faced with the tax adjustment, did nothing more than complain a few times. Moreover, some even worked harder rather than opposing the tax.
