Although Chen Kai did not communicate with the Grand Knight of Runash and Viscount Andosk for a long time, it only took less than half an hour to decide on the method of retreat, and then directly rode the war horse provided by the Grand Knight of Runash towards the northern city to catch up, Chen Kai really wanted to ride Laer, not the current war horse whose feet would hang down to the ground, but Lal was still in a state of injury, even if Chen Kai was waiting for ten days and a half months, don't think about it. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
However, even though Chen Kai hurried to Beicheng District, when he put up the banner and began to contact the player, he found that he still underestimated the ruthlessness of Lord Anderson. Of the tens of thousands of players and aboriginal soldiers who originally retreated with him, only half of them fled to the North City in the end, and at least more than 5,000 players and soldiers died in Lord Bill of Andoson? Polly in his hands.
More than 5,000 people! They were all the warriors of the game, not pigs waiting to be slaughtered, and they all died at the hands of Lord Androsen. The most tragic thing is that all of them have been sucked dry of flesh and blood, and have become dried corpses that have fallen to the ground. What's even more terrifying is that these dried corpses are now part of the dead creatures, and they are dragging their slow steps towards the defense line of the northern city.
What frightened Chen Kai was the defense of these dried corpses, because the flesh and blood were sucked dry, all the corpses were equivalent to only a layer of shriveled flesh attached to the surface of the body. But it's also this layer of flesh that makes it impossible for many weapons with a sharpness value of less than 4 to break through it with a single hit, and as a result, the soldiers and players who first find the dried corpse can't beat the slow-moving tortoise-like corpse. If it weren't for the fact that these guys had followed Chen Kai for a long time and became a little more alert and didn't run away, it is estimated that Chen Kai would have lost a team of people now.
Of course, these slow-moving dried corpses are not difficult to deal with, because they are very afraid of fire. Since the flesh and blood in the body were sucked dry by Lord Andosen, these dried corpses burned as soon as they encountered an open flame, although they may not be burned to death all at once, but the open fire is not necessarily just natural fire. In a magical world, there is something that can be used, the mage's fireball spell burns fast, the temperature is high, not only the effect is remarkable, but also the price is low. Even the fire oil is saved. It's just that not all fire elemental mages' fireballs can kill these dried corpses, although even the fireballs released by a first-order apprentice fire elemental mage can hurt them, but the spells of this level mages have no spell attachment at all. A fireball used to do damage, but soon the flames went out. Only casters of the third order or higher can make the released fireball spell burn on the body of the dried corpse for a period of time, but the mana consumed is not low.
However, even if the amount of mana consumed is safer than relying on fire oil to burn these dried corpses to cause a fire, of course, if you don't use fire spells to kill these dried corpses, you can directly use divine magic. It's just that now the remaining priests and guardian knights of Andorsen are guarding against the Lord of Anddosen who doesn't know where to go, and Chen Kai and they can only rely on their own strength to clean up these dry corpses that are gradually approaching the northern area.
The only good news is in the process of eliminating the dried corpses. Chen Kai and the others did not encounter any new dead creatures, and at the same time, the number of dead creatures outside the North City Gate of Andosen was not very large. In their opinion, as long as they continue to concentrate their forces, they have a good chance of breaking out of Andorson City. But now what worries Chen Kai the most is Lord Andosen, who is like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, ready to rush out and bite at any time. As for what method they will rely on to break out of Andorson, you must know that the harness that Chen Kai put on Lal is produced by the Rohan Empire. As a country on horseback, the most powerful knightly legion on the entire continent is in the Rohan Empire. Remember that the knight legion is not a cavalry legion, although the difference between the two is only one word, but the combat effectiveness is very different. A knight can form a knight army of 400 people, while the knight legion of the Rohan Empire is at least 5,000 people, and the knight regiment they belong to can form a cavalry army of 200,000.
But the 200,000 cavalry army was only a standing army of the Rohan Empire, and the real horror of the Rohan Empire was that one out of ten adult men in the countryside could become a cavalryman. At the same time, the number of knights who could not form a knightly order was also considerable, although they could not form a large-scale knightly order, but they had a large number of knightly squires, and this part added up to at least three and a half million people. It can be said that if the Rohan Empire uses the power of the whole country. An army of no less than two million cavalry can be formed in an instant, and all of them are heavily armored cavalry. Therefore, don't compare the number of cavalry with the Rohan Empire, because even one Andosen can pull out thousands of heavy cavalry, and the more numerous light cavalry is even more terrifying.
Although many horses outside the city were not pulled into the city in time because of the siege guide of the undead army, it is important to know that there is a pet space in this world, and even among the aborigines, there are many people who have a pet space that is not smaller than that of the player. The most important thing is that the families who can raise horses in Andorson will basically have a separate stable in their homes in the city, and the way for the middle and lower class people in the Rohan Empire to show off their wealth is not to see how ornate your house is, but how strong your horses are. Even among the many upper-class nobles of the Rohan Empire, as long as they started with knightly military exploits, they basically compare with each other how many high-quality BMWs or armors there are in their homes.
Because of this, every time the undead army attacks the cities of the Rohan Empire, it is basically at night. Only at night did the iron cavalry of the Rohan Empire fail to exert its formidable power. Because at night in the mighty cavalry could not be the opponent of the undead. Although it was also approaching evening, it would take only another two hours for the sky to completely darken. At that time, Chen Kai and the others, no matter how many cavalry they had, they could not escape the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of undead. Therefore, although everyone knew that they had to dig out Lord Andosen who was hiding in the shadows, but when everything was in a hurry, Chen Kai and the others didn't have time to find the traces of Lord Andosen. They had to spend time gathering horses, and even more so time arranging the direction of the cavalry troops, and most importantly, they had to move supplies as soon as possible.
The more materials in Andoson City are transferred, the more points will be added to the weakening of the undead, and for Chen Kai, this time is completely the best time for them to make money. Of course, Chen Kai will never do anything corrupt and bribery, because if he does such a thing, the system will automatically reduce his kindness and fairness, and then Chen Kai's camp will be deflected. But this does not mean that Chen Kai can't spend money to buy low-priced things, now Andorson is in an extremely chaotic time, and the price of all commodities as long as they are not related to the battle has fallen by no less than three percent. Especially now, the prices of some special commodities, such as art and books, have fallen, leaving only less than 10% of the original. Now Chen Kai only needs to spend 10% of the price, and then sell it elsewhere, he can earn at least five times as much, and this does not include the wealth of those nobles who were killed by Lord Anderson.
All this wealth now belongs to the ownerless property, but Chen Kai and the others can really get only a small part, because most of the urban area of Andoson has fallen into the hands of the undead. Unless they're willing to risk being killed by the undead, while it seems that there are quite a few players who sacrifice their lives for money, many of them die in vain.
"Hey! I don't have any money in my hand again! Boss, you lend me a point, I just saw a few paintings that look good. And as long as it is a hundred gold coins, it is estimated that it is worth at least a thousand gold when it is sold! Fei Yun looked at Chen Kai with a blank eye, of course, this so-called sale can only be sold at this price until it enters the hinterland of the Rohan Empire, and because the atmosphere of the Rohan Empire is different from that of Hansting, many things can only be sold at the starting price of the Rohan Empire, and they are not necessarily worth anything when they are put into Hansting.
"! Those paintings are worth 500 gold. If you have that money, you won't collect a few Persian blankets, but you can sell them for 2,000 gold if you find one of those fleeces. Rather than Fei Yun's love for the oil paintings that filled the Rohan Empire, Chen Kai was more concerned about the velvet blankets of the Rohan Empire, which he became Persian blankets, which could fetch a high price even in Hansting. It's just that Chen Kai's hands are all second-hand goods, and he can't sell a lot of five or six thousand gold, and being able to sell it for 2,000 gold coins is already the maximum price he calculated. But the highest price for Chen Kai to receive these blankets is 100 gold coins, and if he can really sell them, he can earn at least 1,900 gold. As for whether it can really be sold, Chen Kai is at least eighty percent sure in his heart, of course, the premise is that he will not hang up on the way. Fortunately, they had already exchanged many of the items in their backpacks for gold coins before this. In addition to food and water, the backpack and space ring have a lot of space to fit many of the same type of things. Blankets can be large and small, but they can be folded and stuffed into a backpack compartment. It can be said that now Chen Kai has scattered all the gold coins in exchange for the materials in the hands of the rich people in Andosen, and they are waiting to sell them in the future and exchange them for gold coins. Although the gold coins in their hands will be reduced to only a few thousand gold coins for a while, as long as they survive this time, they will gain more wealth.
It's a pity that the time to make a fortune on this shopping spree is very short, and Chen Kai doesn't even have time to carefully select items with higher value, because he needs to focus more on defense. When they stayed in the northern city of Andosen, the undead in Andoson City were not idle, or was it Amma, who now occupied the Lord's Mansion of Andorson? Ragas was not idle. As for why he was not idle. Because when Chen Kai was leading the patrol, he saw the work of this Dark Council boss - the Throne of Bones and a large number of constructed bones.
If ordinary skeletal creatures can only be considered dead creatures. Then the constructed skeleton is a combination of alchemy and necromancy, because each constructed skeleton is assembled with various bones to give new life to the soul fire. If the average skeletal creature takes the route of numbers. Then the constructing skeleton is the quality route, and each constructing skeleton is at least above the sixth order. When Chen Kai saw hundreds of skeletons rushing towards him, he and the players around him were collectively stunned, and it took a long time before they burst out with a sentence of grass and mud.
In the face of such a terrifying Constructed Skeleton Legion, not to mention that Chen Kai only had less than two squadrons and more than a hundred people in his hands, even if he had a brigade or an entire legion, he couldn't stop the opponent's attack. The moment he saw the huge army of constructed bones, Chen Kai directly chose to run away. Although this seems to be humiliating, it is better to lose people than to lose your life. Because Chen Kai knew that even if he could fight again, even if he used the Berserk Skill, it was estimated that before he could rush into those skeleton piles, he would be divided into the bones of the first few constructed bones that were similar to those praying mantises. You must know that Chen Kai is not wearing his own set of double-headed lion armor now, but wearing an ordinary heavy riding armor, not only does not have any attribute bonuses, the defensive power is only half of his double-headed lion helmet, and the texture is only four points. Even if it is considered a good quality in tabula rasa armor, Chen Kai, who is used to wearing high-end equipment, is absolutely uncomfortable wearing tabula rasa armor.
The most important point is that Chen Kai's armor is not complete, because the armor of his stature cannot be found in the entire Andorsen. The entire armor set was changed by the blacksmith at zero hour. In addition to the helmet shoulder pads and wall guards, the cuirass can only be regarded as a half-body armor, and the leg guards are only a plate armor chain skirt, with the horn giant helmet on his head, Chen Kai looks like a barbarian no matter how he looks at himself. Of course, even if Chen Kai is a barbarian, he is an overdeveloped barbarian, after all, even a barbarian is not more than three meters tall. However, whether Chen Kai is a barbarian or not, he can't change one fact, that is, Chen Kai's equipment is very poor now, and although the double-headed lion helmet placed in the bronze box has begun to be gradually repaired under the condition that Chen Kai has purchased metal with a lot of money, even if the metal he throws into the bronze box is more, the time required to repair the armor is not short. The most important thing is that Chen Kai doesn't think that he can block the attack of hundreds of constructed bones with a set of armor, that is unrealistic and impossible.
Regarding Chen Kai's retreat, the players around him didn't say anything. In fact, they wished that Chen Kai would retreat, after all, they all saw the terrifying army of constructed bones, and no one would rush forward stupidly. If Chen Kai didn't run away, it is estimated that half of the entire team would be directly deserters the moment Chen Kai rushed up.
However, although Chen Kai retreated, he didn't run far, because the entire northern city of Andoson was already crowded with people, and it was impossible for him to withdraw the team to a place where civilians were staying. No matter how big or thick the civilians of the Rohan Empire are, they can't be the opponents of these skeletons. If Chen Kai really brought the army of bones to the area where the civilians were located, it is estimated that the refugees gathered in Andosen would have at least tens of thousands of casualties. So although Chen Kai was retreating, he was gathering troops while retreating, and when he retreated to the street entrance of Beicheng District, thousands of players and hundreds of aboriginal soldiers had already begun to set up barricades there. By the time Chen Kai withdrew into the fortifications, the number of troops behind him was still increasing, and at the same time, the Grand Knight of Runash and the Viscount of Andoske, who had received the news, also came over with their troops.
Compared to the situation where Chen Kai was full of infantry in his hands, the strength in the hands of these two was much stronger. Not to mention the priests and guardian knights in the hands of the Grand Knight of Runash, in the hands of Andosk alone, all the heavy cavalry in the entire Andoson is now concentrated, and the number of three thousand heavy cavalry is equivalent to one-third of the 10,000 thousand troops. It's a pity that the heavy cavalry can't move at all in the city. The sheer size of the heavy armor would hinder their movements, but if left in the wilderness, there would be nothing to stop the heavy cavalry, even the heavily armored mounts. Unless the opponent is all earth knights who master the shield of the earth like Zhao Tiezhu, only a large number of earth knights can withstand the impact of heavy cavalry on the frontal battlefield. Of course, another way to hold back the heavy cavalry is to destroy them directly with more powerful force, and these constructed bones in front of them obviously have such power. So even if Andoson's streets were wide enough for the heavy cavalry to exert their impact, Viscount Andosk would not or would not be willing to throw them into it. Now the troops he brought over are completely civilians who have just been recruited, although the number is huge, but in Chen Kai's opinion, it is completely a cannon fodder army, more cannon fodder than the player.
Because the player has at least some fighting spirit, and the soldiers brought by Andosk are just farmers or civilians with only a few strengths. No matter how strong the people of the Rohan Empire are. It is also impossible to become a qualified fighter with a vindictive spirit without training. Only a soldier with a vindictive spirit can be considered a qualified warrior. Otherwise, it can only be called cannon fodder, because the inhabitants of the Etia continent are not the inhabitants of the Khedira plane. In a terrifying natural environment, he has a body that can be called a pervert. Even if it is a civilian who has mastered a certain weapon skill, the strength is the strength of an ordinary second-order warrior, and an untrained civilian is not even comparable to a first-order warrior.
In the face of such a terrifying level of constructed bones, Chen Kai felt very disdainful that Viscount Andosk still used civilians as cannon fodder, and even looked at the other party with contempt. Knowing that Runash whispered a few words in his ear, Chen Kai put away this goal, and at the same time felt in his heart that this viscount named Andosk would not be an ordinary person in the future. Because he knew from the Grand Knight of Runash that the reason why Andosk had so many civilians used as cannon fodder was simply because they had to block the skeletons here and open Andoson's path to the outside world. So he sent out all the heavy cavalry and nearly 10,000 light cavalry he had gathered, and now it is estimated that he has begun to prepare to charge out from the north gate of Andosen, the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charging Chen Kai has never seen, but he thinks that scene must be terrifying.
