Standing in the defensive fortress, Chen Kai can be said to be the first time he entered this defensive castle that he spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins to repair. As an important pass to block the import and exit of the Great Rift Valley, the castle has a huge door. It took Chen Kai tens of thousands of gold coins to repair the door alone, and this is the case when the materials do not require him to pay for it.

Because this gate is twenty-five meters high, which is equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. In fact, if the gate height is calculated, the gate of this defensive castle is larger than that of Chen Kai's town gate. At the same time, behind the gate is not a road directly entering the territory, but a long road running through the castle. This road can accommodate three carriages in parallel, and can also accommodate a row of nine knights to charge. It can be said that it is quite wide, but if it is not a merchant but an enemy, it is also a miserable place for these enemies.

Because the high rock walls on both sides are covered with various crossbows, if the enemy attacking the castle lucky to open the gate, then this straight passage of 200 meters will be a bloody corridor for many enemies. However, before the battle began, most players entered the Great Rift Valley through this road. Before Chen Kai repaired the castle, although the gate existed, there was no such road behind. There was no wall of more than 20 meters on both sides, but a hilly path. Under the powerful structural magic of the Hansting Empire Land Construction Mage Corps, the original hill became the back half of the current castle. There was not only a market area, but also a residential area.

Without a war, this castle is equivalent to a Acropolis in Berkner Town, an important gateway to the northern territory. Of course, the castle now has no lord's mansion, only a garrison manager, which is where Chen Kai is now. Most players who choose to settle their homes in Berkner Town actually choose to rent their houses in the residence behind the castle. However, close to the outside, there are small fields and farmhouses of farmers. Only those who are determined to be pastoral farmers in the game will spend a lot of money to rent such houses from Chen Kai and rent some land. However, more players choose to rent houses close to the market, preferably those with shops, because they can do some small business. The bakeries, restaurants, hotels and other things in the castle are run by the players themselves. Although the business is not very good, for some players of life professions, it is finally a small income that they will get every day.

Of course, more players are optimistic about the future development prospects of this trade route, unless a god breaks through the mountains that stretch over a hundred miles on both sides of the Great Rift Valley and opens up a road to the southern territory. Otherwise, the trade route to the Great Rift Valley is the best trade route to the northern territory. Of course, you can also choose to go out to the sea to sail north along the coastline, but the oceans in the Ethia world are far more terrifying than the ground. In addition to sea-born monsters, hostile races in the ocean are the biggest culprits of shipwrecks. Only giant ships over a hundred meters dare to sail on this fierce sea. They can only or only dare to sail along the coastline. They are afraid of humans on the ocean land, even if they are afraid of humans on the ocean land, even if they are afraid of the giant ships above 100 meters.

Hansting, who has the most powerful marine fleet on the mainland, dared not send a fleet into the deep sea, because once it leaves the land for more than 500 kilometers, it will enter the most dangerous sea area. The Empire once organized such a fleet, but the last one who came back was only a very ragged flagship and sank after docking. The only three people who survived went crazy. One turned into an idiot, and this was the final outcome of the fleet composed of tens of thousands of people. Even the warlock who was most proficient in spiritual spells could not know any trace of information from the outside seas from the minds of these three people. The result of forced investigation was that one of the crazy soldiers had a brain like a watermelon.

Building a ship that can sail on such a sea is no less than building a knight, or even more than a lord. Although the Hansting Empire is powerful, there has been no fleet of re-sized since the fleet was lost. Although its sea transport is still relatively developed, there are few ships sailing on the sea, and fishing boats will not sail out of the sea for five kilometers to fish. Only large fishing boats dare to sail out of the sea for ten kilometers to fish, while Hansting's fleet was at most cruising within a hundred kilometers of the sea to act as fishermen. The once huge fleet now

If you can only act as a fisherman, this behavior is probably a large number of naval soldiers who are dissatisfied with this behavior in the real society. But it is a fact in the game. The ocean in the game is more dangerous than in reality. It is so dangerous that even if the trade route is blocked, few people are willing to trade through ocean transportation. Because even if the trade route is not lucky, at least your cargo is still there, but even if you sail along the coastline above the sea, there is the danger of ship capsizing. You will never imagine when the cargo ship under your feet will be entangled by ocean monsters and when it will be attacked by monsters that come suddenly.

So Chen Kai doesn't have to worry that those merchants will change their path after opening the trade route, unless they are willing to detour the extremely dangerous wilderness or go to the more dangerous sea. However, at present, most merchants can only choose to cross the Great Wilderness for commercial trade, although the Great Wilderness is not necessarily much safer than the Great Rift Valley.

Chen Kai sat quietly in the position of the garrison officer. At present, there is no serious garrison officer in Berkner Town, but there are two garrison officers. They are the two most outstanding people selected by Chen Kai from more than three thousand soldiers. One reached the level of a seventh-level warrior less than half a month after learning fighting spirit, and he is an elite soldier. Now he has reached the command level. Therefore, Chen Kai asked him to serve as the garrison officer of this castle, and presided over the entire castle when Chen Kai was away. This soldier named Hazimos and the other soldier named Elgar are the strongest among the more than three thousand soldiers. The soldier named Elgar is the garrison officer of Berkner Town who rotates with Hazimos every three months.

Of course, at present, the soldier Hazimos is on duty in this castle without a name. Although he asked them to call him the garrison officer in front of his hands, he did not dare to do that in front of Chen Kai. Because he knew that Chen Kai could remove him at any time, because Chen Kai was the lord of the entire Berkner Town, and in the eyes of the indigenous people, the lord was always the most powerful person. At the same time, Hazimos was even more afraid of Chen Kai's fist. At the beginning, he was the one who was beaten up by Chen Kai with a stick.

"Baron! This is the task receipt today! But there is no news like yesterday. The travelers killed a lot of monsters, and their heads were piled in the warehouse behind after testing! Your Excellency He Liwen is testing those heads there!" Hazimos couldn't help but shudder when he thought of He Liwen pinched his hands to check the disgusting monsters' heads. He was even more reluctant to think of the huge pot outside the warehouse. The monster's heads rolled inside and all kinds of strange ingredients. When he thought of the extremely terrifying soup, Hazimos's belly couldn't help but rolled.

"I understand! Go to the highway Figo mage and let him pay attention to the situation around him! Forget it, let Su! He knows what to do!" Chen Kai rubbed his forehead and looked at the pile of task receipts in front of him. It took him a morning to read the task receipts accumulated before. This was not because he was diligent in government affairs, but because he always felt something was wrong. Because according to what he learned, the surrounding territory was harassed by the former lord troops at least three or four times in a month. Even when the civil engineering mages were stationed in Berkner Town, they were harassed several times. However, Chen Kai had been stationed in Berkner Town for more than half a month. He had not seen the former lord troops who played the horse thief once. This situation made him very strange. In fact, Chen Kai was also very clear that it was simply a dream to let players find out the former lord troops, because they would never want to meet those guys.

But for Chen Kai, those mice hiding in the dark were the ones he was most worried about. According to the information he collected, the former lords hid in the underground world of the Great Rift Valley, at least 50,000 to 60,000. There were three or four thousand cavalry alone, and they were all the masters of the armor that Hu Gedi had found in the underground warehouse. However, the black armored cavalry that Chen Kai now formed can only be regarded as an infantryman riding a war horse. At least most of the cavalry is like this. Only the earliest three hundred cavalrymen looked a little bit. The others rode on war horses and looked like a group of horses.

Monkey. Of course, there are still many cavalrymen among them, because the count allocated veterans to Chen Kai. Although there are few cavalry among veterans, many have ridden horses. However, riding a horse and cavalry are two different concepts, because riding a horse does not mean that you can wield weapons on a war horse, nor does it mean that you can use a gun. The special thing for players is that they can do skills that the indigenous people need to master one or two months or even years within a few weeks or even days, because the players have a special skill experience system, and as long as they practice skills or experience, they can quickly master that skill or skill.

For example, using a weapon to chop. It takes a week for a soldier to master the correct way of chopping. It takes a week or two for a little stupider one, but how long it takes for a player to barely exert force in ten minutes, and you can wield a long sword and chop wood in one day. Use a long sword to practice chopping for a week and you can easily chop wood for a living. The texture of the firewood cut out is clear and the size of the firewood cut out is the same. However, it takes at least three months for the indigenous soldiers to do this, and they must be very talented. Therefore, it is definitely the most cost-effective for players to act as soldiers, but players can act as

Soldiers are just not comparable to veterans among the Aboriginal soldiers. Even if the Aboriginal veterans cannot compare with players in combat skills, they have a long life and have a long physical strength and can become qualified combat machines after putting on appropriate armor. However, a certain amount of training in Aboriginal soldiers will be more qualified by the players. Because compared with the players' non-compliance with discipline, Aboriginal soldiers must abide by the rules and regulations, at least they dare not ignore Chen Kai's orders. If Chen Kai gives orders to the players, unless those players rely on Chen Kai for a meal, they will at most listen but definitely not necessarily do it.

Players will look higher than Chen Kai's interests, while those indigenous soldiers will look higher than Chen Kai's interests. Because they know that even if their interests are damaged, as long as Chen Kai is still a qualified lord, as long as he still wants the civilians in the territory to contribute to him, he must pay for those who have suffered losses. This is the simplest standard for a qualified lord among the indigenous people. Although most lords are not qualified to some civilians. Even if these lords can be qualified, they cannot do it, because in an empire, there is only one lord who can be qualified to be qualified, that is, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire. Chen Kai has many shortcomings, but at least in some aspects he is much better than those very unqualified lords, that is, he treats soldiers well enough.

However, this kind of favor is limited. After all, treating soldiers too well will make soldiers arrogant. Of course, at present, Chen Kai's treatment has not exceeded the limit. After all, the entire town of Berkner is just just established. Even if Chen Kai wants to treat them well, there are not enough conditions. The most important thing is that at present, there is basically no tax revenue in the entire city, and Chen Kai is basically paying for money to maintain the operation of the city. It is precisely because of this that Chen Kai is very afraid of being attacked. Because his wealth cannot withstand the baptism of any war, it is estimated that he will become a pauper after a small and medium-sized battle.

But sometimes things will not change because of Chen Kai's idea. When he checked the players' mission receipts one by one, a group of soldiers wearing armor were slowly gathering in the underground Rift Valley, three kilometers away from the castle. If you observe it yourself, you will find that the bodies of these soldiers were shrouded under the pitch-black armor, but their eyes emitted blood-red light and their throats kept roaring like wild beasts. These are the troops of the former lord Hugodi, a group of troops composed of demonized soldiers, and a group of poor soldiers who were transformed into demonized humans.

"Children are hungry! If you are hungry, pull out your weapons and kill everyone you see as food. Burn everything you see and grab everything we lose!!" The one who roared was the former Lord Hugodi, but now the lord looks very strange. If you really want to say that he thinks more of a demon than a person. He can no longer be considered a human being, and because he is completely fused with the blood of the Purgatory Demon, he has not lost his mind. He has just become more bloodthirsty and irritable. The power of the demon bloodline makes him extremely

He is bloodthirsty and has a special need for human flesh and blood, but he has no way to eat human souls like those real purgatory demons. He only absorbs the remaining soul power in human corpses, but even in the continuous killing, he has become more powerful than before. However, because of this, it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to survive on the ground. You must know that the pursuit troops sent by the imperial royal family have been looking for his whereabouts, so this poor lord will not easily walk out of the underground world before he becomes strong enough.

"Roar!!" With a roar like a beast, countless underground creatures in the entire underground passage were trembling and watching teams of demonized soldiers walking past. The thorny ground lizard just wanted to escape, but a spear was stalked on its back. Then a mouth with fangs bit its head off. This was a knight in general's armor. He was once the most glorious leader of the entire Hugodi cavalry regiment. In the past, he had a happy family, but now he is a pair of people.

It's like a human being or a ghost. But he has no memory of the past, because he has completely transformed into a higher demonized monster who only knows to obey Lord Hugodi's orders. After the demonization, the old man's beard has changed from white to black, and his body has changed from thin to majestic. The muscles wrapped in scales have stretched out the armor as if it will rise at any time. But he is trapped underground like Lord Hugodi, because he is also the one who was chased by the imperial royal pursuers. Because he was once the leader of Hugodi's most powerful cavalry regiment.

So this time he went out to rob, he had no share of the commander. He could only rely on things like the thorny ground lizard to fill the hunger in his stomach and fill the demand for flesh and blood. But soon his soldiers would bring them enough flesh and blood, just as they did a while ago. The delicious fresh flesh and blood, the body of a professional who exuded a strong soul breath.

When the demonized troops emitting evil aura all over their bodies rushed out of the crypt, a team of players were hunting for a injured seventh-level monster on the side. Seeing that a thousand gold coins were about to be obtained, these players' eyes began to turn red. However, they soon found that even redder eyes appeared on the opposite side, and then they saw countless black armored soldiers appearing in front of them, and then there was no more. When these players died, they posted the news on the forum set up by Fei Yun and received the thousand bounty, the black armored soldiers had already eaten all the dead players' bodies. The fresh flesh and blood stimulated their killing*, and the black armored armored with red plasma emitting an extremely strange light in the sunlight.

Chen Kai got the news almost half a minute after Fei Yun saw the post. When he rushed out of the security station and directed Hazimos to ring the alarm bell, hundreds of unlucky players had already turned into food in the stomachs of demonized soldiers. Some players who were fighting monsters and leveling up not far away had not reacted when they heard the bell. When they reacted, they immediately rushed towards the castle. They were lucky enough to escape into the castle before the gate was closed, but were unlucky because they were chased towards the castle by the black armored soldiers.

Chen Kai was very glad, glad that he spent a huge price to allow the civil engineering mages to level the caves and caves that could be found in the territory. If it weren't for this, Chen Kai probably wouldn't be outside the castle, but inside his territory. When he thought of losing the protection of the castle to fight against such demonized soldiers on the plain, Chen Kai couldn't help but feel guilty.

However, when he saw the system message, he couldn't help but curse, because the message prompted Lord Chen Kai in the system message was as follows: "A group of robbers are preparing to loot your territory, please pay attention!" But compared with the situation before, Chen Kai almost wanted to raise his middle finger to the system and curse your sister. Because the situation in front of him was a group of robbers, the equipment alone was not something that robbers could own. To be continued...
