Although Chen Kai has completed the initial deterrence of these militias, that is, the first step in establishing authority, there is still a long way to go to completely command these unruly militias. biquge.info The first is the command of these militiamen, they are not players who can let Chen Kaitong Guò private chat channel directly transmit orders.

Even if Chen Kai could pass on some brief orders with the help of the system, because there was no next-level commander, few of these orders could finally take effect. Therefore, what Chen Kai needs to do now is to select some lower-level commanders and completely unify the entire militia force.

This process may seem very simple, but it is actually very difficult. Because these militias come from various places and are basically not very familiar with each other. So let alone recommending each other, there is no way to even nominate someone who can be a centurion. If a hundred of these militiamen were from the same place, then perhaps a centurion could be easily elected. But there are only about fifty people from the same place at most, and they are veterans from Zela Fortress. Therefore, it is not realistic to rely on mutual understanding and promotion, and in the end, Chen Kai can only use the help of the system to select the most powerful physical attributes of all the militia to act as commanders.

This method is the stupidest way, because strong physical attributes do not mean that you are a good commander, but when fighting, strong physical attributes are often directly proportional to combat effectiveness. In a unit, there is nothing more capable of commanding soldiers than strong combat effectiveness, so Chen Kai's selection method cannot be said to be problematic, but the general direction is still correct.

However, sometimes an individual's combat effectiveness does not mean that the individual's command ability is high. You must know that some people are naturally strong in combat, but they don't have any emotional intelligence and can't get along well with their subordinates. Of course, there are also some who only know how to charge in battle, and are not likely to pay attention to Chen Kai's orders, this situation will only be exposed in battle, so Chen Kai can only pray that his choice is more correct. Of course, he didn't pick his commanders entirely based on physical attributes, because he had done a job before that. That's roll call.

After getting the list of these militiamen from the commander of this military camp, Chen Kai began to group them according to the places they came from, and then confirmed them one by one and said a few words to them. Of course, this process was very long, and it took Chen Kai a whole day, and at the same time, Chen Kai also used the systematic viewing mode to check the attribute status of these militiamen at this time. Of course, this attribute status is only approximate, and only the lord can view it. As for why it is rough, because Chen Kai can't see the hidden attributes such as the potential and personality of these soldiers, he can only see the basic attributes such as strength and agility. All the attributes and conversation content, Chen Kai took screenshots and recorded them and passed them to Xu Fei. With their help, Chen Kai was able to complete everyone's inquiries before nine o'clock in the evening, and selected a few candidates to act as centurions.

Chen Kai's questions are basically the same, first ask what your name is and then tick the roll call, and then ask xx is your fellow countryman? Or what do you think of XXX. It's a very simple question. But it can be roughly judged that the prestige of some people in the team, if more than a dozen people think that a certain person is better, then it proves that this person is still a little prestigious, and then Chen Kai will put a star on this person's name as a candidate for captain or centurion. As for the commander above, that is, the candidate for the commander, Chen Kai will let all the soldiers choose by themselves. So at present, the commander of the commander in Chen Kai's militia force is temporarily missing. Because this position is so important, it is basically the strength of one-third of Chen Kai's troops.

In fact, Chen Kai hopes that these three positions will be filled by Zhao Tiezhu, Su Wan and Su Xinghe, but he is worried that all the militia will rebound. Therefore, it can only be very clear that the three commanders will be selected through a legal duel, and Zhao Tiezhu and Su Wan will also participate in the duel. It's just that Su Xinghe is still on his way to the imperial capital. There was no way to participate, so Chen Kai could only choose to delay the selection of the commander.

But this delay can't be too long. He must complete the selection of all officers one week before the end of the month. Because after that, they will set off for the territory, which, according to Prime Minister Capello's words, will be completed within a month. At that time, Chen Kai had to run to take over his own territory. If he didn't take over, it is estimated that his territory would be spied on and encroached upon by the lords of the surrounding territories.

Therefore, Chen Kai must complete the reorganization of all the teams within this week, and then rush to his territory within a week. Of course, he could use a short teleportation array on the previous journey to hurry, so that the time could be shortened slightly, and Chen Kai needed to pay about 30,000 gold coins for this. Of course, this is limited to the cost of these militias, not the families of those militias. Those family members can come over slowly after Chen Kai and them completely control the territory, although Chen Kai needs to pay an extra 100,000 gold coins for mercenary protection, but it is still more cost-effective than the family members and militia who transported it together.

Therefore, in this week, Chen Kai needs to prepare a lot of things, in addition to training with these soldiers, he also has to prepare food on the road and various accommodation supplies after arriving in the territory. Of course, these will not be purchased in the imperial capital, but in the city near Hugodi. Of course, the best place to buy is definitely Altinis, which is the closest to Chen Kai's territory, but the trade routes in the Great Rift Valley are not very easy. Due to the monster attacks in the first place, the trade routes of the Great Rift Valley have always been intermittent. As a result, a large number of goods were piled up in Altinis, and the prices of goods in the southern part of the city south of Altinis were extremely low, but after Altinis prices soared. Similarly, in the region north of Hugodi, goods in the north are relatively cheap, but some goods in the south are extremely expensive. Because the trade routes were cut off, the circulation of various materials was not smooth, which naturally caused an imbalance between supply and demand in the market.

Most importantly, due to the destruction of the Golden Plains, the most important grain-producing region of the empire, in the tide of ghouls, the Hansting Empire began to rely heavily on the grain of the southern regions. The uncommon consequence of the trade routes was that food shortages began to arise within the empire. Although the food shortage is not very severe at present, at most there are some short-term food shortages in some areas where the grain production itself is not very sufficient, which can be alleviated with the emergency deployment within the empire. But one of the things that is very serious at the moment is that it will take at least three or four years for the ghoul-infested area to resume food production, and if it is a year or two, it will be fine. The Empire's food stocks are still sustainable, but if it is extended to more than three years, then the food supply within the Empire will be problematic.

In fact, even if Chen Kai became the lord of the new town of Berkna, he would only have one year to stabilize the situation around him and must completely open the trade route within a year. If Chen Kai can't do it, then the position of this lord will be replaced. This is also why the earl would ask Chen Kai at the first glance if he would fight, of course, in the earl's opinion, it doesn't matter if he can fight, as long as he can make money. If Chen Kai could provide him with tens of millions of gold coins, then the surrounding princes and earls would personally help Chen Kai destroy those who were making trouble for Chen Kai.

It's a pity that Chen Kai doesn't know about these. He didn't know that he was actually sitting in a powder keg, or an extremely dangerous position. If he can't settle down within a year, then open a trade route to Altinis. However, relatively speaking, Chen Kai still has an advantage, at least he has more gold coins in his hand than those ordinary lords, and at the same time he has received a lot of support. The most important thing is that he is a player. The player will not be killed by assassination. In fact, not all lords wanted the trade routes to be clear, because only when the trade routes were not smooth could they hoard the Quichi and gain more profits. That Count Amfrus actually had such thoughts, but Hansting, the earl of their family, naturally couldn't have ruined his own family in order to make more money. But some nobles don't think so, because no matter how dilapidated the empire is, they don't care about their business, and even some lords want the entire empire to completely collapse and return to the city-state society. No noble lord wants an emperor to have him in charge. They all want to be the rightful emperor of their realm.

But the emperor is not so easy to be, so the lords turn the goal of becoming emperor to make more money to satisfy their luxurious life. As a result, not everyone wanted Altinis' trade routes to the north-central part of the empire to be clear, and if it weren't for that reason, digging a tunnel directly through the Great Rift Valley would be much faster than winding through the rift. But digging such a trade route would lead many merchants to lose the opportunity to make a lot of money, that is, to lead the price of goods to plummet. And this would be to the detriment of some nobles, so this excellent method has never been mentioned and no one will implement it.

It can be said that if Chen Kai knew the situation he would face. He wouldn't be so happy training the militia, but he would be forced to think about how to get the money back and find a place to be rich. Chen Kai, who didn't know anything about these things, had no way of knowing about the aristocratic battles in the game. And these things will not be clear even to his teacher Bass, even Chen Kai's senior brother Anderson will probably not know. In fact, this kind of thing has basically involved the struggle between some super nobles within the Hansting Empire, and it is not at all known to the middle and lower class nobles. Of course, there is also a bottom line between the super nobles, that is, they will not directly attack the person who is used as a chess piece, but will only manipulate the chess pieces to fight in the established rules. If Chen Kai can gain a firm foothold in this state, then those super nobles will acquiesce to his lordship rights and interests in this place, so they will not personally do anything to kill Chen Kai directly.

Of course, before Chen Kai has a complete foothold, those nobles who are controlled by these super nobles around him can take action against Chen Kai within the rules, and even use assassination to eliminate Chen Kai from the ** at some point. It's just that Chen Kai is a player, so the ** assassination is just to make him downgrade, and three hours later, he will still be alive and well in the territory. This also makes those super nobles who know Chen Kai's identity as the lord unable to use the method of ** elimination to make Chen Kai disappear, and can only use other ways and methods to hinder the development of his territory.

However, what made those super nobles angry was Chen Kai's financial resources, they didn't know that Chen Kai was a freak who came out of that corner. He used tens of millions of gold coins to let Prime Minister Capello use the Imperial Infrastructure Mage Corps to build a territory. At the same time, under the hint of Count Amfros, Prime Minister Capello basically made every effort to help Chen Kai build his territory, and the materials used were basically only beyond the standard. In fact, the real gold cost of Chen Kai's territory was more than 15 million gold coins, but some things were not calculated by gold coins. Therefore, after conversion, the gold coins that Prime Minister Capello spent on Chen Kai's territory were still less than 12 million.

As for the reason for this, it is very simple, it is the rule restrictions between the super nobles within the empire. Prime Minister Capello can use the Imperial Civil Construction Mage Group to help Chen Kai, but there is a limit to the help, that is, Chen Kai can only do as much as he can do with how much money he takes. If this limit is exceeded, then it means that the people supported by Count Amfros have exceeded the rules, and those big nobles have a reason to take action against Chen Kai.

Of course, in fact, the earl had already crossed the rules in many places, but this was the prerogative of the royal family of the Hansting Empire. It's just that on the surface, it is still necessary to maintain a certain state of compliance with rules and disciplines, so those soldiers can only be identified as militias, and at the same time, the number cannot be too large, and the most important thing is that they cannot master the fighting spirit. If Count Amphoros directly transferred a team of 10,000 people who mastered the fighting spirit to Chen Kai. It is estimated that these big nobles will jump out.

But now there are only more than 3,500 militia under Chen Kai's hands, and they are all soldiers who have not mastered the fighting spirit, so that those big nobles did not jump to accuse the earl of breaking the rules. But even so, if Chen Kai can't reach his territory before the end of this month. Those big nobles will also have an excuse to make some special treatment of the territory belonging to Chen Kai. For example, if you send a team of people to act as robbers and occupy something, at that time, the owner of Chen Kai's territory will definitely be impeached for not being able to protect his territory. In fact, they could also interfere with Chen Kai on the way, such as making it impossible for Chen Kai to teleport soldiers with the help of the teleportation array or something. But everyone knows that this method can only be regarded as a crooked way, not to mention what it means to close the teleportation array, if those big nobles really do that, it is almost the same as fouling.

Su Xinghe finally arrived in the imperial capital on the third day after Chen Kai Liwei. Of course, there were thousands of players who came with him. In addition to some of his friends and old buddies, some were connected by Xuehaifeng, and even Huang Dao brought his classmates and alumni over. Of course, the ones brought over are those who are reliable, not the brain-dead. Because Chen Kai said that he wanted to take advantage. Or simply the person who came to play soy sauce, he resolutely didn't want it, and would rather spend money to hire aboriginal mercenaries than this kind of character that would fail if it was not done well. Therefore, the students they brought over are basically honest or more self-motivated. Those students who like to take advantage of small things, flamboyant tongues or simply lazy people are basically not in the ranks of their invitations, and even take the initiative to come to the door and are politely rejected by them. Of course, because of this, they can be said to have offended many classmates. But thinking of what they got after following Chen Kai and them, several people still felt that it was worth it.

Embarrassed by some of the second ancestors, their friends and bosses in the game, and they know what to do. Naturally, they refused those second ancestors and chose their own bosses, after all, the salary Chen Kai gave them was not low, and the income in the game could basically guarantee that they could live a well-off life for several years without working after graduation.

"Boss! Long time no see! "It was Hu Lansi who spoke, and after Chen Kai and they were teleported to Khedira, Hu Lansi followed Su Xinghe together. Although Chen Kai was lost as the backbone, coupled with a period of memorization, the income of the group at the beginning was relatively low, and they even often posted money inside. But after the last ruin battle, they came and went, and began their careers as hunters of the dark Forces, turning to rob those who joined the Dark Forces. As a result, he will make a small fortune every time, and of course the price is also very large, which is why Hu Lansi has only reached level fifty-nine and has not reached level sixty until now. The high profits are also thought to be high risks, and it is very normal to accidentally hang up in battles with dark force players, and even Su Xinghe has hung up several times.

"Long time no see! By the way, where did that guy run to the zodiac? Chen Kai had just beaten up a few militiamen who had taken the opportunity to find fault, and he saw Su Xinghe and Hu Lansi walking over with a giant sword, and of course there were other people.

"Him! I ran to Fei Ge, and I heard that I was looking for him to ask for a few spells! This guy is now about to become a spell maniac, and even in reality he writes and draws with a piece of paper! Fortunately, he didn't fail the subject, otherwise the old class would definitely trouble him! As a classmate and roommate of Zodiac Dao, Hurans was very worried about his friend's situation, and he was worried that his friend would have mental problems. Fortunately, in addition to being a little crazy about studying spells, he usually studied well, and he didn't go crazy when he got along, otherwise he would definitely call 120 to send the zodiac to a mental hospital for examination.

"Huh! In this case, it is better for you to let him pay more attention to his body! "Lao Su, it's good that you're here, I'll arrange for someone to have a duel right away, the old man Capello has urged me several times, so I will take the troops on the road immediately, and we will set off immediately after deciding to be a commander."

It's just that when Chen Kai arranged for those soldiers who wanted to become commanders to prepare for a duel, he suddenly found that no one was willing to run into the ring to fight Su Wan, Zhao Tiezhu and Su Xinghe. Because the weapons they were holding in their hands were too strong, in the end, Chen Kai had no way to let them switch weapons and fight with ordinary weapons before someone went up to duel. But the ending is similar to what Chen Kai expected, although these veterans are very strong, they are not professionals after all, and the offensive methods mastered by professionals are only suitable for fighting on the battlefield, as for the duel, it is too far-fetched. Although there are a few veterans who have mastered a few special moves, this special move is not enough for players who are about the same level as the three players but have more advanced skills.

If you are a player in normal mode, it may be difficult to fight against soldiers in the elite template, but players in bloody mode will not be too difficult to deal with ordinary elites. Especially when these elites only have a rough grasp of the fighting spirit, it doesn't take much effort to defeat them at all. (……)
