Chen Kai was very aware of the state of his city at the moment, although his reputation among the northern aboriginal nobles was slightly better. Kemdal and his entourage, who were busy with infighting, did not have the heart to pay attention to Chen Kai's development, or even if they had the heart, they were unable to pay attention. So the trade route from the north to the south, which they had been cut off, was at least a little bit more connected to the line to the town of Burkner.

Although the merchants walking on this trade route are basically the same as smugglers, because if they are accidentally caught by the soldiers of the nobles of the Northern Noble Alliance. If you are lucky, you can pay some money to avoid disasters when you meet the nobles who are afraid of Chen Kai's military strength, and if you are unlucky, such as meeting Baron Kemdahl's patrol, it is basically an ironclad end.

This baron was unable to team Chen Kai on the surface, even if he was restricted by the current state and had no way to block Chen Kai, he still used various methods to prevent the materials from entering Burkner Town. It is the lightest thing to catch those caravans in the name of smugglers, and even more ruthless is to directly play the role of horse thieves and personally rob the merchants who transport food and supplies. Not only will the player's caravan be looted, but even the indigenous merchants, even the caravan protected by mercenaries, will be looted. It's just that it was not only Baron Kemdal's private army that robbed these merchants, but also the demonized cavalry and soldiers who themselves existed in the Hugodi domain. These former lords' troops, it is not too easy to do business without capital, and they have no scruples at all.

Because Baron Kemdal's private army sometimes takes into account the impression, and often finds some secluded places when doing things, or secretly attacks. At the end of the battle, not only will the scene be cleaned up, but all the slain aboriginal traders will be completely destroyed and buried. Also, because the player cannot be killed, they almost never attack caravans with players. However, the demonized troops of those former lords were different, because they didn't have to worry about any impact at all, and they didn't have to worry about those players spreading their appearance.

Therefore, these demonized troops attacked the caravan without any care, and even reached the level of unscrupulousness. However, as Chen Kai's gold coins gradually increased, he invested more and more money in the soldiers. With the support of the Abyss of Gems. Chen Kai began to wield gold coins wantonly, hiring those aboriginal mercenaries to strangle the demonic soldiers who haunted the town of Burkner and even the surrounding areas. A demonized soldier's head could be exchanged for 500 to 1,000 gold coins from Chen Kai's hand, and the huge gold coin offensive made Chen Kai pay nearly half a million gold coins on the first day of the mission. The heads of thousands of demonized soldiers were placed in front of him, and after that, nearly seven or eight hundred heads of demonized soldiers appeared in the security office of Burkner Town almost every day.

Chen Kai, wielding a gold coin stick, became the favorite fool of the mercenaries in the central and southern regions of Hansting, because in their opinion, Chen Kai was a typical example of the so-called stupid people with a lot of money. In less than half a month, most of the high-level mercenaries in the central and southern regions have gathered around the town of Burkna, wielding weapons to strangle the demonized soldiers in the wilderness for gold coins, so that civilians who were afraid to go out can finally go out to farm in peace.

Although in the eyes of those mercenaries, Chen Kai's behavior was similar to that of stupidity, but other aboriginal nobles, including those players in the north, admired and resented Chen Kai's move. Because all mercenaries must sign an agreement with Chen Kai. That is, during the period when they were hired by Chen Kai to strangle demonized soldiers, they could not accept any mission that threatened the safety of Burkner Town. At the same time, when they were threatened by the security of Burkner Town, they had to unconditionally accept the employment of Chen Kai, the lord, of course, the employment price was double that of the A-level mission. That is, if Chen Kai hires them. But each person has to pay nearly a thousand gold coins every day. …,

But don't look at the huge amount of gold coins, but if it really comes to that time, Chen Kai would rather take out all his net worth than leave these gold coins to the enemy. At the same time, this agreement also guarantees that those mercenaries will fall to Chen Kai at some point, after all, no player lord or aboriginal lord can come up with such a large amount of gold to hire mercenaries. Of course, not every mercenary Chen Kai will give such a high price, and the mercenaries who can make Chen Kai pay such a high cost are basically very sophisticated. It was because of their existence that Baron Ankneru, who had been troublesome to Chen Kai, had not appeared for a long time after that.

"It's been really idle lately!" Cowering in the Lord's Mansion in Burkna Town, Guan Yu's face exuded a lazy aura. It wasn't his intention, but because he was really idle. It's been nearly a month since the Gem Abyss was discovered, although the number of players mining in the Gem Abyss has decreased significantly in recent times. However, the income of the entire town of Berkna is still maintained at nearly one million gold coins per day. Even if almost half of this income was collected by the system, that is, it was returned to the taxes of the Hansting Empire, the income left in Berkner Town would be enough to sustain Chen Kai's task of issuing those high bounties. Stimulated by these missions, almost none of the demonized soldiers around Burkner would dare to haunt them, and when they came out, they would be beheaded in exchange for bounties.

Because of this, Guan Yu, who had lost his leveling goal, became very idle, and the only thing he did now was to walk the streets almost every day. It's not about looking for mercenaries who look strong to challenge. Just lying on the sofa in the Lord's Mansion in a daze like now. Of course, most of the time, Guan Yu's choice is the former, but yesterday when he challenged the idea, he was not accurate, and as a result, he was beaten violently, and now he is lying with bandages all over his body like a mummy. But even so, Guan Yu's face still didn't have much pain, on the contrary, because he couldn't go out, and no one in the lord's mansion took care of him, he was very depressed.

However, it is estimated that the only people in the whole town of Burkna are him and the two little ones who are the most idle, and the two wyverns lying on the ground yawning beside him are also the most idle characters recently. Originally, they would spend most of their days flying in the air guarding them, but since they devoured the heart of an earth dragon that Chen Kai had bought with a lot of money a few days ago, they had become very lazy. Of course, the heart of this earth dragon was obtained from smuggling channels. Moreover, the two little guys were not swallowed alive directly, but were used by He Liwen after configuring the potion, but even so, the energy contained in the heart of an earth dragon close to the Holy Rank still made the two little guys a little weak.

As soon as they drank the potion configured by He Liwen, the two little guys' bodies skyrocketed by nearly twenty centimeters, and the scales on their bodies also cracked a lot. Because in addition to allowing Xu Fei to extract the essence of the Earth Dragon Heart, He Liwen also used some rare herbs collected from under the abyss to prepare them together, and finally mixed the only bottle of Sacred Lake water that they had left that did not emit a breath. There are so many rare things, and even the system can't give an accurate name to the final potion configured. But the only thing that is credible is that the efficacy is absolutely non-existent. At least after Chen Kai took a small sip. There are no side effects other than the health increase of nearly 1000 points, which directly rushes to nearly 10,000 health points. The most important thing is that this increase is still permanent, at least Chen Kai did not receive any side effects from the system prompting the increase in health.

However, what makes people entangled is that the effect of this potion is useless to other people, except for Chen Kai, everyone else who drank this potion only increased their body value by about 100, and their health value did not increase at all. In the end, this bottle of rare potion only entered the stomachs of the two little ones, but no one expected that it would cause the current effect. After nearly a week of digestion, the body length of the two little ones broke through nearly four meters, and there was no side effect of pulling seedlings, if the only thing that can be counted as a side effect is that they became very drowsy. The time spent dozing off and eating took up nearly twenty-two hours every day. Only less than two hours will they be awake, but just too lazy to move. So they are now together with the injured and lazy Guan Yu, and the three guys are all cowering in the hall of the lord's mansion yawning and lazy. …,

So even if the probability of this construction is very high, but considering the amount of earth and rock excavated. Chen Kai directly rejected this idea, which seemed to be very genius, and let this huge purple iron rough stone continue to sleep in the underground world of more than three hundred meters.

"Dumbo! How's the North guys doing? When Chen Kai slowly crawled out of the underground mine, he saw Xu Fei who was thinking about the gem abyss in the camp, and at this moment, Xu Fei's body was full of gems like Wang Xuewen, and he looked as dazzling as he looked. Of course, these gems are not ornaments, and the spell fluctuations emitted from them alone tell how terrifying and dangerous they are.

"It's fine! But no matter how you look at it, it is estimated that it will not be honest for long! These guys have probably forgotten that we're still grasshoppers on a rope! Xu Fei's answer was full of contempt, of course, he also knew in his heart that those player lords in the north also knew everyone's situation in their hearts, but when a fortune that could change their inner thoughts appeared in front of them, it was tantamount to a fool's dream to want these players gathered for profit to continue to abide by the past agreement.

"Not really! They probably forgot how much power the leader has in his hands now? Still thinking about connecting in series, hehe! "Fei Yun is also wearing a jewel now, of course, compared to Xu Fei's secret gems that are made by Wang Xuewen. All he had on him were rough ordinary gemstones. The only use is to show, and it is also a display of very extravagant bags, which is the most depressing place for Chen Kai, because now Fei Yun looks like a nouveau riche no matter how he looks.

"I said the fourth! Can't you just put away the things that hang on your body? Chen Kai looked at the gems on Fei Yun's body very depressed, but when he swept over the gems on Fei Yun's body, he found that several special gems mixed with dazzling gems emitted this unusual fluctuation. At the same time, Fei Yun, who heard Chen Kai's words, also lowered his head and smiled and touched those gems, no one would find those hidden secret gems under Fei Yun's nouveau riche appearance. This is something that Fei Yun does on purpose, and sometimes deliberately exposing things to other people's noses may make them overlook some fatal details. Those few hidden arcane gems can definitely surprise those who think Fei Yun is an upstart.

In the end, Fei Yun didn't take off those gems, and still hung them shiny on his body, and Chen Kai could only choose a speechless expression to deal with it.

While Chen Kai was patrolling his territory, the player lords of the north gathered together and began a secret meeting to exclude Chen Kai. Everyone knew very well in their hearts that when they did this, they had already set the goal of this meeting on someone. Although they knew that this person was not necessarily so easy to deal with, when a large amount of wealth was placed in front of them, the interests had made them lose their fear.

"Huh! Everyone knows what we are gathered for. The one in the south was just too much. Eating alone shouldn't be like that! The first to speak was Feng Buyun, the boss of the Iron Riding Club, and this time, Qi Shaohuang, the other boss who had been dealing with him since he finished speaking, did not say anything against it.

"Huh! What Boss Feng said is exactly what everyone earns when they have money! Li Xiangrong, the rich president of the Xianghu Brotherhood, showed a very honest smile on his chubby cheeks, but in the hearts of others, this smile was sinisterly associated with the old fox, because this time the rally was led by this chubby middle-aged man.
