For Chen Kai, whether or not to join the battle behind the Redstone Fortress was completely meaningless to him, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet processed the pass to travel through the Rohan Empire, it is estimated that he would have left the fortress and ran back to Hansting.

The game's very strict hukou system is something that many players feel criticized, of course, players are relatively much better than those indigenous civilians, because as long as they are employed, they can freely travel between the cities of the country where they are located. Except for not being able to enter the first-level main city and the imperial capital before a certain level, you can basically go anywhere you want, excluding the private houses and private residences of individual residents, of course.
However, if you want to travel to other countries, you will first need to get a pass to enter that country. Chen Kai: They can be said to be illegal immigrants, and if they are left in reality, they are smuggled and can be sentenced or forcibly repatriated. It's just that Chen Kai hopes to be forcibly repatriated, but there is no such possibility in the game, generally speaking, countries can investigate illegal immigrants so clearly, just spend money to apply for a pass. If you can't investigate it clearly, it's even easier to say, just take a knife and cut it.
It's just that the Redstone Fortress belongs to the military fortress and does not deal with civil officials, so Chen Kai's pass is very troublesome. Even if he got rid of that Baron Zaf, Chen Kai didn't have seven or eight days to get a pass and then get a chance to leave the Redstone Fortress.
Although there was no way to leave the Redstone Fortress and pass through the Rohan Empire to return to Hansting, Chen Kai was not limited to the church of the Temple of Dawn. Relying on his achievements in Paranon and Andoson, Chen Kai's reputation in the Redstone Fortress is not low, although he may not necessarily be recognized and warmly welcomed when he walks out, but at least he can meet a few people who know him on the road. Among the people Chen Kai was familiar with in the Redstone Fortress, there were only a few aborigines other than Baron Zaf and Baron Zizama, and this included the old mercenary Hammer Tower, who had escaped from Paranon with him.
Hammerta, who managed to escape from Pala Lane with his young son, did not stay in Andorson, but fled with him to Redstone Fortress after finding his young son's grandparents, who were also his cheap mother-in-law. Hammerta, a veteran mercenary who has been in the mercenary world for many years, used his keen insight into death to escape from Andorson before it was surrounded, and successfully escaped to the Redstone Fortress. Not only that, but the mercenaries who fled with him to the Redstone Fortress along the way are now his subordinates, the mercenary group he reorganized. And even more powerful than the little mercenary group in Paranon before. There were more than a dozen seventh-order warriors alone, and he had successfully advanced to the ninth-order not long ago. Not only has the life span become longer, but the body has gradually become more energetic.
The most envious, jealous and hateful old man at this age can at least be Chen Kai's grandfather, but now he is accompanied by a young and beautiful girl who is younger than Chen Kai. Obviously, Hammertower had a good time during this time, not only in his career, but also in his second or third spring. Chen Kai's face that had become tight again because of the promotion almost didn't recognize the other party, but Hammertower recognized Chen Kai, and patted Chen Kai's shoulder very happily while introducing his new wife to Chen Kai. What shocked Chen Kai was that the girl in front of him, who was younger than his sister, turned out to be the cousin of Hammer Tower's youngest son. That is, the daughter of another daughter of Hammertower's mother-in-law. Of course, Chen Kai didn't say anything about this, because he found that the professionals in the game, especially those with a level higher than the eighth order, had a long lifespan, while the professionals of the holy rank had an even longer lifespan. At the same time, because of their strength, their physical functions have always been maintained at the peak, so as long as they are willing to afford to raise them at the same time, they can marry as many wives as they want. Even if your wife is old, she can be her granddaughter. As long as the woman doesn't object.
"Dear Lord Berkner! Are you planning to go back to Hansting now? If you want to go back, you can hire my Axe Mercenary Group, and I promise to give you the best employment price! Hammertower tried to slap Chen Kai's shoulder with his palm to show affection, but unfortunately although he was tall enough, he was still only human height, and he needed to raise his hand to reach Chen Kai's shoulder in the face of Chen Kai, who was nearly eighty centimeters taller than him, not to mention the slapping action.
"I think I might need to stay here for a few more days, because I haven't gotten my companions yet, and I don't want to be considered an illegal entrant, so I'm not leaving Redstone Fortress yet!" Regarding Hammertower's words, Chen Kai thought about it carefully and felt a little tempted. Because he knows very well that if the belongings in his backpack are exposed, it is definitely not that his current strength can be kept. Goods worth millions of gold coins were densely packed in Chen Kai's backpack, not counting the magic crystals and holy lake water that were to be brought to Lin Lei for exchange, and also not counting the things that were placed in other people's backpacks. It can be said that if the wealth in Chen Kai's backpack and his party is combined, although they cannot be rich and rival the country, they are definitely comparable to a lord who has been in business for hundreds of years. If the wealth of nearly 10 million gold coins is known, it will definitely not attract thieves, but large-scale robbers. Of course, Chen Kai can't immediately reveal his willingness to hire the other party, he must carefully hide his wealth. Unless he wants to be robbed.
"Remember that if you want to find a mercenary group, you must find me! I live at 239 Ruby Avenue! That's where my mercenary group is stationed! Chen Kai watched the mercenary who was a lot older but still holding the little girl and slowly left. I feel like my head is a little pumping.
"Scared the hell out of me! I've finally left that uncle, where should I go now? Let's go to the city walls and have a look! Listen to Baron Zaf say that there are always undead hovering around the perimeter of the fortress lately. It is estimated that the undead of Andorson have completed the cleaning of the city and are ready to attack the Redstone Fortress! Chen Kai, who was talking to himself, slowly walked towards the walls of the Red Stone Fortress, after Chen Kai's wanted status was lifted, this was the fifth time he had come to the walls of the Red Stone Fortress. Basically every day he had to stay on the side of the city walls for a while, especially at the very first few points, when the refugees entered the city. Chen Kai would use the Eye of the Stars to observe the refugees, lest members of evil forces infiltrate the city and cause trouble for the fortress when the undead attack the city.
At first, Chen Kai was completely squatting at the gate of the fortress with the idea of practicing his skills, but when he first found a member of a hidden evil force among the refugees entering the fortress, the entire redstone fortress began to enter a state of tension. Refugees who had entered the fortress were dragged out of their houses one by one for inspection, and anyone who showed signs of escape was sniped without mercy. Chen Kai felt a little guilty when he saw some innocent people being killed because of him. But at the same time, Chen Kai also knew that if he really let the members of the evil forces infiltrate the fortress, and then suddenly kill and open the gate of the fortress while they were fighting the undead, then it would definitely be a disaster for the redstone fortress.
Therefore, it is now a common practice for temple professionals to use divine magic to check the personnel who enter the fortress. It has even been extended to other cities. Because no one knows if there are any members of the Dark Council in the Rohan Empire, if they are really mixed in, it is better to find out in advance than to wait until the city is overturned by the other party and find out. Although Chen Kai was the earliest user of this method, he did not receive any reward, because all the merits were credited to Baron Zaf. However, Chen Kai did not get no benefits, relying on the help of Baron Zaf, Chen Kai sold some special items from Andosen, and then exchanged them for more important materials. It's just a pity that these materials are not for human use, but for the two flying dragons that are used to feed Chen Kai and Su Wan's pet space.
During this time, the two little ones have not stopped growing, although the growth rate has slowed down, but they are still growing at a rate of one centimeter per day. At the same time, the consumption of food is becoming more and more abundant. Almost every day, I am full, sleep, and full, and live a life that is more ** than a pig, at least it is impossible for pigs to live by gnawing on roast lamb legs and drinking sweet and sour juice every day. But such a life also caused a lot of trouble, that is, the two little ones were a bit overweight and almost difficult to fly due to the lack of training of their wings. Because of this, Chen Kai had to spend a lot of money to buy some special potions from Baron Zaf, which could help the dragon turn excess fat into muscle. At the same time, it increases the force of the wings swing. As for whether the drug will affect the little ones, according to Baron Zaf, the effect of this drug is definitely less than obesity, and he and Chen Kai said.
"Although the Wyvern will be the dragon knight's most important companion, the companion is not a pet, you can't spoil it too much!"
Because of this, Chen Kai felt that he should train the little guy well, at least after his fat became muscles, he should strengthen his flight training, because Chen Kai didn't want to have a flying dragon to ride in the future, but he could only be a dragon knight, then he would definitely be laughed to death.
When Chen Kai stepped on the wall of the Red Stone Fortress, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere on the city wall today was a little wrong. Although since yesterday there have been no refugees fleeing into the fortress for two consecutive days, everyone is sure that there are no survivors outside the fortress. But there are still people who have illusions. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of refugees, and now less than 200,000 have fled into the fortress, less than half of almost all refugees. This figure angered and heartbroken the commander of the Redstone Fortress, Count Markrac, but he couldn't do anything about it, as all the evidence proved that the refugees who had escaped from Andorson were already alive in the fortress.
As for why Chen Kai felt that the atmosphere on the city wall was a little wrong now, it was because if it was only because of the death of the refugees, then the atmosphere in the city should be sad and angry now, rather than the current atmosphere of being extremely tense and even a little flustered. Before Chen Kai could completely let go of his steps on the last step of the city wall, a huge alarm sounded instantly. At the same time, the mountains on both sides emitted a terrifying magical light. I don't know how many thick spells landed on the wilderness outside the fortress before Chen Kai could react. At this time, Chen Kai found that he didn't know when, and the wilderness outside the Red Stone Fortress began to be filled with a gray-red mist. When the two thick spell rays of light in the sky passed through the void, the thick fog was instantly torn apart, revealing the countless clattering skeleton soldiers below. There are also a much larger number of Construct Skeleton creatures. It's just that the fog was only dispelled for a short time under those two thick spells, and soon Chen Kai's vision was once again obscured by the gray-red mist.
"Lord Burkner, you shouldn't have come up!" Baron Zaf's face is not good, although he is a bit greedy for money, it is undeniable that he has excellent ability in logistics management, and most importantly, he is good at absorbing new knowledge. Under his hands, there are at least a dozen players engaged in logistics management in reality as his assistants, and these poor players are doing logistics in reality, but they didn't expect to be photographed by Baron Zaf after entering the game, and became a sergeant of logistics management. However, it is really because of these players as logistical assistants that Baron Zaf can easily deploy the supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops, especially when the two mage towers start an attack, each attack will cost tens of thousands of gold coins. This kind of consumption is not something that an ordinary player or low-ranking nobleman can bear, even the Rohan Empire cannot withstand such a terrible consumption for a long time, and what really supports this consumption is the family wealth accumulated by the Redstone Fortress for hundreds of years.
"How did I know that the fortress would be attacked at this time!" Chen Kai depressedly picked up the weapon in his hand. He felt very unlucky. Because he was arrested again, if he had stayed obediently in the prayer room of the fortress temple church at this time, it is estimated that such a thing would not have happened.
"You're a bad hap! It's too late for others to hide, so you'd better run up and die! Here you go, the pass that was only delivered today. Hope you can use it again when you die! Baron Zaf tossed Chen Kai a stack of six passes that glowed with pale blue metal, this pass was the only pass for him and the others to travel through the Rohan Empire in the future, without which they would not be able to move an inch after leaving the Redstone Fortress.
"Don't worry! I'm a traveler, and I won't be killed! Thank you! Chen Kai happily put the six vouchers into his backpack and kept them. There is one last step that this barrier will take effect, and that is to drip the user's blood. Only then is it a real pass, but a pass that can only be used by oneself.
"That's it! Be careful, I don't want to collect your body! With that, Baron Zaf hurried away, for he needed to get to the garrison to redeploy his troops. Although the entire fortress has been preparing for this day for a long time, it is really when the undead appear outside the fortress. The number of defenders of the city walls was not very large. It was precisely because of this that poor Chen Kai was caught, and he stood at the top of the city wall carrying a huge tower shield from Baron Zaf, looking at the undead and the gray-red mist that was slowly approaching outside the city wall. The shield is a good color, not only is the defense strong enough, but it is also a fine green item made of Seiko. Although it has no additional stats, it does have a defense boost and penetration resistance. It can be said that carrying this shield, Chen Kai's defense can increase by at least ten percent after wearing the armor, and the shield has a strong resistance to penetrating attacks such as arrows, but what makes Chen Kai feel more entangled is the color of the shield.
"Is it necessary to be so bright? How is it golden again! "Look at the huge tower shield in your hand. Chen Kai was extremely depressed. When the Dou Qi Protector on the armor was activated, Chen Kai's entire body almost turned golden, with the absolute golden yellow of the golden armor, the kind that was wrapped from head to toe. Although such an image looks very eye-catching and eye-catching, it is precisely because it is too bright that Chen Kai has become the most eye-catching target on the battlefield. Thankfully, his position was now the highest on the wall, and even if he was attacked, he would not be attacked until the undead had crossed the first wall. But the premise of that qiē is that there are no long-range spellcasters among the undead, and they don't believe in this killing Chen Kai, so even if he is standing at the highest point of the city wall, Chen Kai has no bottom in his heart. The shield in his hand was ready to stand in front of him at any time, even if he knew that this shield had little resistance to spells.
When Chen Kai was trembling and carrying the shield. Xu Fei looked at the undead under the mage tower even more fearfully than him. In fact, the two mage towers were attacked by the undead before the walls. Although there are numerous fortifications around the Mage Tower, with the help of gray-red mist. The undead rushed to the front of the fortifications. If it weren't for the hundreds of high-ranking mages in every mage tower, and the thousands of low-level mages, it is estimated that the two most important attacking forces of the redstone fortress would have been captured at the beginning of the battle.
However, although it has not been captured now, the actual control area around the mage tower has become very small. For this reason, several ** divisions leading the mage tower had to send mage regiments to join the battle on the ground, and then reduce the bombardment of the wilderness outside the city walls. Xu Fei was one of the people sent to participate in the ground battle under the mage tower, and although his secret magic staff had been repaired, the ammunition, especially the ammunition carved with spell crystals, was not ready. It's not because he doesn't have money in his pocket, but because even if he has money, no one helps him make these things, even if the mages in the two mage towers belong to the spellcasters of the Rohan Emperor's ** department, they are more or less connected to the noble mages. The contradiction between the noble mage and the player in the Rohan Empire is basically difficult to reconcile, so Xu Fei has no way to get the help of the other party, and the ability to repair the secret spear staff is already the result of Baron Zaf's help.
"These bastards, noble mages, are using us as cannon fodder again! Brother Fei, be careful, I see that those noble mages have shown greedy glances at your weapons several times, I guess they have a little bad intentions! "Standing behind Xu Fei is a player spellcaster who came to the Redstone Fortress from Andorson with him, although his strength is much weaker than Xu Fei, he is already a relatively advanced player at level fifty-six among the players of the Rohan Empire.
"Got it! Be careful, don't be used as cannon fodder! Xu Fei glanced at those low-level noble spellcasters with his eyes, although these casters were about the same level as Xu Fei or even lower than him, but the arrogant expression on his face and the contempt for the player in the corner of his eyes made Xu Fei not have a good impression of the other party. The fortifications of the Mage Tower lead to the Guò underground passage along with the redstone fortress, which is why the defensive positions around the mage tower are so large, but if the position is occupied, the enemy can rush to the inside of the fortress along the underground passage. Because of this, the upper echelons of the Mage Tower hurriedly sent the caster to join the ground battle, and at the same time, it also inspired the attack spells on the Mage Tower at close range, which were far more powerful than ordinary spells, and the attack spells released through the various magic arrays of the Mage Tower were more powerful than the power cast by the mages themselves.
It was under this powerful spell attack that Xu Fei and the others could enter the battlefield relatively easily to give those soldiers spell support. However, the faint gray-red fog on the battlefield made all the high-level spellcasters very uneasy, and these fogs strictly hindered the caster's vision, even with the help of the shining Eternal Eye on the mage tower, they could not completely see through this gray-red fog, as if something was preventing the mages from discovering the enemy.
