There are people on the top who are good officials, and there is no doubt about this whether it is the aristocratic world in the game or the real world. Although this truth belongs to the theory of unspoken rules, many players are very clear about this one.
It's a pity that even if you know this, most players can't find a backer for themselves in the game. After all, most of the aboriginal nobles trust the natives who know their roots more than the players who are outsiders. Coupled with the player's immortal characteristic, some things are difficult to put into the hands of the player, such as killing people and killing people by the way, and killing the person in charge of killing the mouth together. It's basically impossible to do this kind of thing when you encounter a player, because the player won't die completely no matter how much they kill.
However, Chen Kai's backers are relatively hard no matter how you look at them, although his so-called backers sometimes don't necessarily be completely top-notch, but at least they can help Chen Kai block a lot of things. For example, in the matter of raising a private army, Chen Kai is not an aboriginal nobleman with a foundation, and his rise is completely a nouveau riche rise in the words of many aboriginal nobles. Although Chen Kai's title and military exploits were all spelled out with a knife and a gun, if his identity as a traveler was added, many aboriginal nobles felt apprehensive and dissatisfied.
Both Baron Kemdal and other aboriginal nobles slandered Chen Kai openly and privately, because they felt that if they had an immortal ability and the blood of a Titan Half-Giant, they could do better than Chen Kai. Of course, not only the aborigines will YY, but also the players, but unfortunately these can only be stored in their minds.
But when Chen Kai left from Burkner Town with nearly 5,000 troops, most players couldn't help but have the same thought rising again. Compared with the player troops, the aboriginal troops' discipline and neat equipment are enviable, and the owner of this unit, that is, the lord Chen Kai, will be envious.
As for the fact that Chen Kai almost had to spend all the money in his pocket in order to maintain such a force, most players would not know and could not know. The so-called glamorous façade is basically Chen Kai's current state, even if there are less than two million gold coins left in his pocket, Chen Kai is also the richest person among players in the eyes of others. Even if Chen Kai didn't have a penny in his pocket, with a huge town like Burkner. No one would believe that he had no money.
In fact, some idle players have calculated Chen Kai's wealth, and the armor on the more than 5,000 infantry alone is worth more than three million gold coins. Although the equipment is worth only 600 gold per soldier, you can only buy it for that price. You must know that a lot of Chen Kai's equipment is a fine product from the warehouse in the old city of Hugodi. Something that can't even be bought with gold. The black armor worn by the more than 3,000 cavalrymen alone is enough to equip ten infantrymen, and for players, they are willing to shell out 3,000 or even 5,000 gold coins to buy such a set of armor. In this way, Chen Kai's cavalry is worth more than 9 million gold coins just by equipment, and those war horses are even more difficult to calculate.
But even if Chen Kai's value is increasing as a whole, it can't change one thing. That's his wallet is drying up. At the current rate at which the money bag is drying up, if Chen Kai can't open up Altinis's trade route within two months, then his pocket will be clean and slippery. So whether it was Chen Kai himself or Xu Fei, they were very anxious, and this time in order to push those monsters in the wild. Xu Fei even brought out a special magic device that had been prepared for a long time.
The arcane piercing cannon he created in the Redstone Fortress has always been unusable due to the consumption of mana, and even the use of a magic array to assist it cannot change the forbidden need of this spell. The consequence of using it was entirely at the cost of Xu Fei being sucked dry, and at the same time, his body was completely sacrificed to ashes. The side effects caused are also extremely terrible, and there is no way to fight for nearly half a month, but it is a worm-like life. In order to change this situation, in addition to using a reduced castrated version of the piercing cannon, Xu Fei has also been researching how to use the magic array to increase the possibility of spell release. Under his research, a magic array with the ability to create zào was born, of course, this is not Xu Fei's wisdom alone. It also concentrates the wisdom of nearly 10,000 player spellcasters, especially nearly 1,000 Arcanist players.
"Three-dimensional sacrificial magic circle is real yàn type 1" This is what Chen Kai saw Xu Fei costing nearly 300,000 gold coins. Plus five pounds of Mithril that can't be used to calculate the price. At the first glance after seeing this thing, Chen Kai thought that Xu Fei had spent more than 300,000 gold coins to make a cage, or a test bench.
But then he found out that this thing should belong to a very evil instrument, because his role was to completely transfer the sacrificial effect that Xu Fei had suffered to other people. As for the target of the transfer, it is naturally the four little demons tied under the platform where Xu Fei is standing, and these guys who are captured in the battle will become test subjects. If the real yàn fails, not only Xu Fei will hang up. It is estimated that those four little demons may not be able to survive.
Of course, in addition to Xu Fei, there were also many players who stayed in Burkner Town and the host of the Burkner Town Mage Agreement. This old mage was very interested in the three-dimensional sacrificial magic array that Xu Fei had created. As for using the little devil as a spellcaster substitute, he didn't have any aversion to it, and he didn't think it was that evil. There is no absolute distinction between good and evil for mages. All they have is the idea of exploring the truth, if Xu Fei's magic array succeeds, then for the spellcasters of the Hansting Empire, or for the army mages of the Hansting, they will record many forbidden spells and be unsealed. Because many of these spells can only be released at the expense of the caster himself, if this sacrificial ability can be transferred with the power of the magic array, then it will make the aggression of the mage group even more terrifying.
Because the High Mages will no longer have to worry about endangering their own lives by using forbidden spells, and for the Mages, the lives of other species are not in their consideration at all. Of course, it is not without a mage who has tried other methods to cast forbidden spells, but most of them have failed. In Xu Fei's research, this old mage also provided a lot of information in this regard, plus the information collected by the players themselves, and finally made this so-called Type 1 test bench.
"Dick! Are you reliable with this thing? Chen Kai stood behind Xu Fei and asked, Chen Kai would only call Xu Fei the second child when he was very strict. After all, Xu Fei doesn't like the title of second child very much, and no one wants to associate himself with something specific.
"It should be reliable!" When Xu Fei heard Chen Kai's question, he was actually quite weak-hearted, because he didn't think that this thing would be reliable in his heart. Be aware that even the most rebellious arcanist sometimes has to follow certain spell rules. Or rather, the spell rules of the entire game world. No matter what kind of power follows the principle of equal exchange, if you want to get a more terrible cast effect, you need to pay a price, and this price can sometimes not be replaced by someone else's things.
The reason why Xu Fei has no confidence. Because in the many materials provided to him by the old mage, the failed spellcasters focused on explaining the passage. "Equivalent exchange is the only truth that this universe and the world can never change!" In order to practice this sentence, these high-level spellcasters confirmed him at the cost of their lives, and Xu Fei's current behavior is actually tantamount to challenging the truth of this sentence, that is, challenging the truth. So when he came up with the idea of this magic array. The old mage told him that he was playing with fire. However, the player's existence itself is a challenge to certain truths in the game world, so Xu Fei wants to prove that his idea is correct, and if he succeeds, then it is not only his own success, but also the success of all the player spellcasters who support him.
Of course, Xu Fei would not use this thing lightly, after all, if he only used ordinary monsters as targets, if the spell released was not successful, then it would be too cost-effective to pay a heavy price in exchange for the death of a low-level monster. Therefore, Chen Kai's target was the high-level monsters encountered in this flat push battle. And they soon came across one.
Although the player can be equal to the aboriginal soldiers of the same level in terms of combat effectiveness, it will even slightly exceed it. However, when it comes to large group battles, players are unable to concentrate their combat power due to the weaknesses of their own battles, and sometimes they will fight each other in order to compete for the equipment they drop. In this way, the player's combat power will be 70% at most, and the main body of the battle in a large group battle will never be an individual soldier, but the strength of the entire legion. In group battles, the strength of the soldiers is amplified, and the strengths and weaknesses of the player and the Native soldiers will become apparent in this situation.
So most of the time, the player lord wants to have an army of pure natives at his disposal. Unfortunately, many times the aborigines are not necessarily willing to serve as soldiers under the player. If it weren't for that order, these soldiers in Chen Kai's hands probably wouldn't have become his militia at all. As for the soldiers who expanded later, it would not have been possible to have the current force without the militia at the beginning.
Of course, although the indigenous soldiers in Chen Kai's army belong to the backbone, they still need the cooperation of a large number of players. If he only relied on the combat effectiveness of the aboriginal soldiers, Chen Kai would not be able to achieve the goal of leveling at all, and it would be his troops who would be bulldozed.
Although in the wilderness outside of Burkner, there is basically no such a large-scale gathering of demonic creatures. In the face of the butcher knife that Chen Kai wielded, those demonized rats, demonized wolves and other creatures fled one after another, and the only ending was to turn into the stinky corpses on the ground waiting to be cleaned up. The corpses of these demonic creatures are very filthy. If the flesh and blood of the guide are not cleaned up in time, then at least half a hectare of land will be contaminated. These lands are not cultivable. Even the plants that grow out can become distorted. The wilderness outside of the old city of Hugodi has proven how vicious the flesh and blood of these demonized creatures are, so Chen Kai issued a strict lord's decree that players must clean up the bodies of all demonized creatures they kill.
Of course, for players, the bodies of demonic creatures are things that contain wealth, and they don't just throw them away. Although their flesh is not edible, it can be processed into spell materials, and there are at least a dozen spell items in witchcraft that need to be nourished by flesh and blood that contain magical power. Some player spellcasters who specialize in black magic even use the flesh and blood of these demonized creatures to make zuò meat golems, or simply use them to feed demonized creatures for domestication. Therefore, Chen Kai basically didn't worry much about the corpses on the ground that no one was collecting, even if he didn't issue a decree, the player would take the initiative to collect these things driven by gold coins. In fact, Chen Kai himself sometimes had to help Zhao Tiezhu's little daughter-in-law, He Liwen, collect the flesh and blood of the monsters and use them to feed some of the demonic plants she planted in the back garden of the lord's mansion.
These strange-looking plants possess very special medicinal properties, and some of these plants are now required as ingredients for most of the healing potions throughout the town of Burkna. At the same time, He Liwen's pharmacy pù has also become the largest source of tax revenue for the entire town of Berkner, and of course, Chen Kai and their biggest source of income on the surface. Although He Liwen's potions can sometimes be very unreliable, in the absence of medical treatment, most players have to choose to use the potions she produces. If the effect is not enough, then increase the amount, and if the effect is too much, then congratulations on winning the jackpot. This is because most of the drugs that are effective will have some unpleasant side effects.
At some point, the Little Witch's potion was like a lottery ticket to the players of Burkner, and once they won the lottery, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck, so they could only vent their anger on the blockade of the aboriginal nobles in the north and the profiteers who smuggled drugs many times the price. No matter how strong the side effects of He Liwen's medicine are. At least her medicine hasn't been eaten by dead people, and the effect is still good. This time, among the players who followed Chen Kai to carry out a large-scale purge, a large part of them carried such healing potions with special materials in their pockets.
Of course, Chen Kai wouldn't let those players know that the potion he drank was mixed with some special medicinal herbs watered with the flesh and blood of demonized creatures. Because even he himself was not willing to take this kind of medicine that smelled strange after knowing the news. Although many of the potions made by He Liwen were still high-grade, at least Xu Fei had a magic burning potion in his pocket that he was waiting to use. The only effect of this potion is to increase the effect of the magic recovery flask, which is like adding a scoop of fuel oil to the fire, so that the effect of the potion that was originally slowly restored is completed in a short time. Although it will be accompanied by side effects such as nausea and vomiting, it will even lead to a short-term decline in intelligence. However, for the quick recovery of the caster's mana, the effect of the Burning Potion is absolutely detrimental.
It's a pity that the materials of this potion are also the rarest and most terrifying, fortunately, Xu Fei doesn't know the materials needed to configure this potion, otherwise he will definitely not be able to drink the bottle of little red potion on his waist.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high! It's a good time to kill! Guan Yu rode his little red horse and walked slowly beside Chen Kai, his old red rabbit had completely disappeared, not to mention the corpse, not even a rabbit fur was recovered. In the end, he could only find a little red horse with spots on his head in Chen Kai's stable as a mount, but what made Chen Kai depressed was that this guy rode his horse without giving money. You must know that this little red horse is also a high-level mount with pedigree proof, even if it is not as fast as the Andean war horse, it can be regarded as a thousand-mile horse, and there is no problem at least selling for three or four thousand gold coins. Qianjinma basically refers to the kind under Guan Yu's buttocks. Therefore, every time I see Guan Yu riding his little red horse. Chen Kai had the urge to want the other party to pay money.
"Kill the ass! Now we're killing monsters, and I don't want to run into any so-called people at night! Chen Kai said angrily, because most of the demonized creatures appeared at night, so Chen Kai had to choose to fight at night when his eyesight was severely limited. He was already very dissatisfied with this, and it would be even worse if he ran into a large group of demonized soldiers at night. No matter how good the moonlight is, it can't change the problem of dim vision, although this time Chen Kai brought Chen Yi, a permanent light bulb. But at night, no matter how bright Chen Yi's light bulb is, it can't compare to the sun.
"Your Lord! There's a herd of demonized boars ahead! At this time, a scout reported a message to Chen Kai. Because Drake's body hasn't fully recovered. Chen Kai had to ask Guan Yu to temporarily bring those black-armored cavalry instead of Drake. So after the scout report was completed, Guan Yu directly made a whistle. Before Chen Kai could react, he rushed towards those demonized wild boars with a cavalry of a thousand people.
"Damn it!" "Monster grabbing!" "Leave some meat, Second Brother Guan!" For a while, the players in the rear began to shout constantly, because they were all familiar with Guan Yu's routines, basically when Guan Yu raised the big knife, there must be something strange in front of him, and at this time, there was a monster that represented experience and gold coins. It's a pity that our Second Brother Guan ignored all these voices, he even ignored Chen Kai's shouts and rushed directly to the front of the group of demonized wild boars, and slashed down.
By the time Chen Kai led the team to feel it, nearly 100 demonized wild boars had all turned into corpses and were lying on the ground, and the nearly 10,000 teams could only wipe Guan Yutong's shoes and collect the corpses. At the same time, Guan Yu's children's shoes had already led the troops towards another goal again, and Chen Kai and his infantry could only eat ashes in the back, so Chen Kai could only jump but had no way.
