(The text was first published in the biquge.info of the Cabinet) The night of the redstone fortress where the smoke cleared was not quiet, although Asma? Infernal Fury's terrifying blow wiped out most of the undead creatures, but tens of thousands of dead creatures survived the attack, and they harassed the safety of the fortress that had lost most of its walls every day, causing the surviving soldiers of the Redstone Fortress to suffer
However, for the high-level leaders of the Redstone Fortress, these low-level cannon fodder undead are not the focus of their attention at all, and now the middle and upper echelons of the Redstone Fortress are not concerned about how to recapture the Androsen occupied by the undead, but to compete for the position of the commander of the fortress left by Markrats
Since then, the number of saint-rank powerhouses killed in the battle of the Redstone Fortress has increased from one titled swordmaster to two, and the death of the two titled swordmasters of the Rohan Empire is definitely a heavy blow to the high-end combat power of the entire Rohan Empire, after all, the titled swordmaster is the level that is most likely to become a legendary powerhouse, although ordinary saint-level powerhouses also have a chance to become a legend, but the success rate will be very low, and one out of a hundred may not be able to succeed, although the probability of the titled swordmaster advanced legend is also not very high, But every saint-level powerhouse who has reached the title level will be cultivated as a legendary powerhouse in the future, and the emperor of the Rohan Empire, who lost two at once, directly dropped three gold cups after knowing it
But what made that Emperor Xià angry was not only the death of the two titled Sword Saints, although there were not many Titled Sword Saints in the Rohan Empire, but there were also one hundred and eighty hanging up two, which would not make the Rohan Empire, one of the biggest empires in the game, break the bones, and what made that Emperor Xià angry was that the high-level of the Redstone Fortress poured dirty water on each other in order to compete for the position of the commander of the fortress left by Makrats
It's just that the country of the Rohan Empire is too far away from the redstone fortress, although it can be reached quickly by the teleportation array, but due to the huge energy fluctuations fired by the magic cannon, the teleportation array loses its teleportation ability for a short time, and if it is forcibly teleported, it will be difficult for the teleporter to hang up the space in the space channel, because the fluctuations caused by the powerful force will take at least a week to calm down, This meant that within a week, the Emperor of the Rohan Empire could not make a quick decision on the top of the Redstone Fortress, and all communications could only rely on another city nearly a hundred kilometers away from the Redstone Fortress, namely the Carmelas Territory
Although the distance between the two sides is only more than a hundred kilometers, even if the news is transmitted with fast horses and non-stop running, when the news of Markratsch's death is transmitted to the capital of the Rohan Empire, several hours have passed since his death, and by the time the imperial capital has made a decision on the disposal of the Rohan Emperor, two full days have passed, and five days have passed in the defense battle of the Red Stone Fortress, in which the noble spellcaster class represented by the noble mage and the local military of the Red Stone Fortress represented by Baron Zaf, and the aristocratic senate represented by Viscount Miranda had a fierce confrontation, and even developed into street fighting and mutual assassination
The main force of street fighting is mainly the retinue of subordinate noble spellcasters and the local military forces of the redstone fortress, the two sides were initially hostile to each other and then developed into street fighting, but what really plunged the entire redstone fortress into internal chaos and terror was the aristocratic senate forces represented by Viscount Miranda, they did not join the battle for the commander of the redstone fortress at first, but when they attacked, the result was a very terrifying seventeen of the two mage towers** Eight of the divisions were assassinated, three of them did not die in the battle with the undead, but were killed on the test bench of the Mage Tower, but compared to the ** division of the Mage Tower, the losses suffered by the Redstone Fortress military under Baron Zaf were severed, and almost twenty commanders with knightly titles were killed, these commanders were the backbone of the Redstone Fortress military, but they were assassinated in their respective homes, and even directly assassinated on street corners while patrolling
What made Chen Kai feel that the Red Stone Fortress was a little unstable was that the fat man Zaf was almost killed by two assassins who rushed out of the corner of the street in front of Chen Kai, this was an assassination in front of Chen Kai, and the assassination that made him feel uneasy still happened in the hotel, Chen Kai's uneasiness was not because the assassination happened in the hotel he rented, but because he used a giant sword to slaughter an assassin with a giant sword
"I swear I'm really handy," Chen Kai kept explaining to the others, watching the chubby Baron Zaf walk out of the hotel with a smile, his intestines are blue now, Chen Kai never thought that he would cause so much trouble for a while, although the strength of those two assassins is not high, except for the dagger in his hand, which smeared the poison that sealed his throat with blood, the strength of the assassin himself is only the fifth order, and in the face of this god knight who is already at the perverted level, he has almost no resistance, and was directly sent to see the Hades King by Chen Kai with a Shun explosion sword, But Chen Kai's sword, with a practice style, also pushed them to the enemy of the noble senate faction of the Rohan Empire
"Yes, he sent us directly to the opposite side of the third major force in the Redstone Fortress, I think we should immediately roll up the covers and run for our lives" Although Xu Fei was very dissatisfied with Chen Kai's handy move, he also knew that this time it could not be completely Chen Kai's fault, in fact, even if Chen Kai didn't make a move, Xu Fei would use a spell to kill the assassin, because he found that the assassin's attack route was not completely towards Baron Zaf, Instead, they seemed to rush towards Chen Kai, that is, if these assassins were really sent by the Viscount Miranda, then Chen Kai's original behavior of befriending Baron Zaf had already put them in a hostile position against the other party
"Running for your life? Not really?" Fei Yun was very shocked when he heard Xu Fei's words, in fact, he hoped to be able to kill a few more times at this moment, although the strength of these assassins was very scummy, and the weapons in their hands were not very good, but the poison coated on those daggers was very sharp, even an elephant could be poisoned instantly, and only a little wound needed to be rubbed out, don't look at Chen Kai's life now over 8,000 points, he is considered the first blood cow among players, But as long as he is pierced by such a dagger, no matter how good his endurance is, no matter how strong his anti-poison ability is, he will be poisoned by poison in a few seconds, and the damage of poison is as high as 5,000 points in seconds, and it only takes two seconds to empty the life of tens of thousands of life creatures, this poison is too terrible, but Fei Yun still didn't put away the two garbage daggers in the end, because the poison coated on them is volatile, and the storage time is only three minutes, and the toxins remaining on the dagger after three minutes are not even poisonous to a mouse. Moreover, the dagger becomes very brittle after being corroded by venom, and shatters with a slight knock
"How not? Do you want to be assassinated again? Was it poisoned while trying to eat or was your head cut off when you wanted to sleep?" As soon as Xu Fei's words fell, he felt that everyone's eyes were aimed at the silver dagger that he had just inserted into the dinner plate, this silver dinner dagger was specially made by him to test for toxins, and now the whole dagger turned black the moment it was inserted into the lamb chops
"I'm going to really poison it" Zhao Tiezhu's hand was stuck with the mutton chops that had just been cut, he didn't even think about it, he threw the mutton chops in his hand and smashed them on the ground, jumping up from the chair with a weird face, as for Chen Kaijia, he slashed his throat with his fingers, spit out all the mutton that he swallowed into his stomach despite the nausea, but even so, his physical state was marked with poisoning, and his health dropped wildly at five hundred points per second
Everyone hurriedly took out the antidote from their pockets and poured it into Chen Kai's mouth, finally saving Chen Kai before his health fell to zero, but the rescued Chen Kai's body fell into a state of poisoning and weakness, his physical attributes were only 70% of the original, and his combat effectiveness fell by one-third, what worried them was that when Chen Kai was poisoned, all the guests of the entire inn fled quickly, and the innkeeper was found killed in the cellar
"It's not good, let's go right away" Xu Fei looked at the innkeeper Andora who was brutally killed on the ground, a trace of pain flashed on his face, but then he was immediately replaced by panic, in fact, not only Xu Fei thought that something was wrong, but the others also felt that something was wrong, and almost ran directly towards the back of the hotel when Xu Fei spoke, but they did not open the back door directly, but opened the door of a storage room not far from the back door of the hotel, and rushed in
"Fourth, are you sure it's here?" When everyone withdrew into the storage room, Xu Fei asked Fei Yun in a low voice who was knocking on the cabinet in the storage room
"Of course, this is what I asked Andora, that dead fat man spent 10 gold coins to buy the news, but unfortunately, that dead fat man has really become a dead fat man now" Fei Yun's face showed a sad expression, although Andora is an aborigine, but he is the most temperamental innkeeper Fei Yun has ever seen, he always has a happy smile on his face, a fat body of fat meat does not give people a bloated feeling, but makes people feel very gentle, It's just a pity that now the chubby boss Andora has turned into a dead body in a cellar not far away
After a few taps, Fei Yun seemed to have found the expected mechanism, and gently moved a hidden button that looked as if it was fixed on the closet, and the originally closed closet slowly opened in the sound of the machine, revealing a passage, everyone quickly rushed in from the entrance of the passage, and then quickly closed the closet, less than a minute after they fled the inn, hundreds of soldiers wearing city guard armor crashed open the door of the inn and rushed in, led by Viscount Miranda, the biggest leader of the noble senate in the Redstone Fortress
"Damn it, why not? Where did those outsiders go?" Viscount Miranda roared angrily at the soldiers beside him, he spent a very big price for this operation, just the dagger used by the assassin was coated with poison worth 10,000 gold, but he didn't expect that the assassination was not successful, and the poison was also dodged by Chen Kai and them, but the reason why he spent so much effort to deal with Chen Kai and them was not because Chen Kai and Baron Zaf were relatively close, but because he suspected that Baron Zaf would start Asma? The key to the fury of purgatory was secretly handed over to Chen Kai, of course, this is completely Viscount Miranda wronged Chen Kai and them, although Chen Kai and Baron Zaf have a good relationship, but it is not good enough to make the other party believe unconditionally, but Viscount Miranda believed his judgment under the misdirection of Baron Zaf, so he took the current measures
Of course, this is not entirely Viscount Miranda's stupidity, but Baron Zaf's design is too ingenious, and he even gave Chen Kai something very similar to the magic cannon activation key in front of Viscount Miranda, and this thing is actually just a valuable handicraft made of gold and precious stones
Chen Kai and they themselves didn't know, they unknowingly became the shield for Baron Zaf to transfer the power of the noble senate, and after escaping from the hotel, the group hurriedly fled towards the eastern part of the Red Stone Fortress, they didn't dare to go to Baron Zaf or others, but chose the most correct way to escape from the Red Stone Fortress directly without contacting anyone, although this approach was a bit dangerous, because they had to escape before Viscount Miranda blocked the fortress, But in fact, this is the best way to go, because Viscount Miranda can't blockade the entire Redstone Fortress unless he already has command of the fortress, and in fact mobilizing hundreds of soldiers is already his limit
As a result, under the condition that Chen Kai himself couldn't believe it, they successfully passed through the gate of the eastern fortress of the Red Stone Fortress and successfully escaped from the Red Stone Fortress, of course, on the one hand, Viscount Miranda was left behind by Chen Kai and they didn't know the whereabouts of the group, and on the other hand, because some of the aboriginal soldiers guarding the gate of the East Fortress happened to know Chen Kai, and the most important thing is that these soldiers belonged to the local military forces of the Red Stone Fortress. Hinted by Baron Zaf, they let Chen Kai and them go very directly, and by the time Viscount Miranda chased them to the gate of the fortress, Chen Kai and them had already run away
"Damn it, why did you let the fugitives go?" Viscount Miranda roared angrily at the soldiers guarding the gate, but his roar was not over, and suddenly he found that the soldiers around him had drawn their weapons and pointed the tips of their weapons at him
"What are you doing? Want to rebel? Bastard, I'm the Viscount of the Empire, you can't do this without begging you to let me go... Ahh The assassination of the division made the entire noble mage class completely angry, and they launched attacks not only on the forces of the noble senate in the Redstone Fortress, but also in other places
"Is Baron Zaf okay?" A Baron Zizama stood behind Baron Zaf and looked at the Viscount Miranda who was killed under the city wall, even if he already knew that there was no turning back now, Baron Zizama was still very afraid, after all, the noble senate had a very large foundation and strength in the Rohan Empire, and the aristocratic senators with eight imperial electors were considered to be the most competitive party for the throne of the Rohan Empire in the entire Rohan Empire, and now the emperor of the Rohan Empire has gradually aged and the royal family of the Rohan Empire without heirs is very likely to be replaced by the imperial elector
"Remember, the surname of the emperor of the Rohan Empire is always Zakolov," Baron Zav left the city wall directly after leaving such a sentence, and did not pay attention to Baron Zizama who was in a daze on the city wall, at this moment the baron remembered that if it was really the right of inheritance, then Baron Zaf's inheritance to the throne of the Rohan Empire was far above those imperial electors of the noble senate, because those imperial electors were not surnamed Zakolov, Although Baron Zaf's family is called the Zaf family, in fact, it is only to avoid the surname of the imperial royal family, and the middle two words are hidden, and at the same time, as the closest branch of the imperial royal family now, at least half of the blood flowing in Baron Zaf's body is the blood of the Zach family
The fight between the nobles in the Red Stone Fortress proves the cruelty of the political struggle from another angle, although there are complete laws in the Rohan Empire, but those laws cannot restrain the fight between the high nobles, in Chen Kai and they left the Red Stone Fortress for less than half a day, the nobles who died in the fortress from viscounts to lords are full of hundreds, not including their families, it can be said that less than six days after the Red Stone Fortress experienced the undead attack, a large number of people were "killed" After the Redstone Fortress was completely stabilized, the commander of the fortress became Baron Zaf, or Count Zaf
Of course, they didn't know about Chen Kai on the way to escape, and they didn't get the news of the Redstone Fortress until they fled to Carmelas, but they didn't get the news until they stayed in Carmelas for three days, and at this time, it had been two days since Baron Zaf became the Count and the commander of the Redstone Fortress
"I didn't expect it to be Zaf's fat man who picked up the cheap dry in the end," Fei Yun directly burst into a foul mouth after hearing the news, after carefully sorting out their behavior in the Red Stone Fortress, Chen Kai and they found that they seemed to be caught in some conspiracy, and when they sorted out some items, they found the golden key that Chen Kai had thrown in the space ring, looking at the special patterns on this key and the lines that seemed to be like secret patterns, Xu Fei, who was the first to understand, knew that they had been cheated, because this thing was handed to Chen Kai by Baron Zaf in public in the inn, and everyone only regarded it as a small gift for shock, but they didn't know that this thing was actually the fuse that caused them to escape, especially Chen Kai was angry when he thought that he had been poisoned and weakened for two days, but now they couldn't go to Baron Zaf or Count for trouble, so they could only consider themselves unlucky
"What are you doing? Now that fat man commands more than 100,000 troops in the Redstone Fortress, people can drown you with a mouthful of spit, Xingzi can drown you, be quiet, we will find a business, pull some goods, go back to Hansting, and lend me some money, no, I found that the price of cashmere in Carmelas is very low, and you can at least triple the money when you pull it to Hansting
"Get out, wait for you to pull the cashmere to Hansting, those cashmeres are rotten, just buy cashmere blankets directly" Fei Yun heard Zhao Tiezhu's words and also thought of making money, although they had saved a lot of belongings in their backpacks, and they could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of gold coins when they were transported back to Hansting, but people are greedy, and no one wants to make a little more, but there is no way to make war money, it's really tiring to make money with ordinary trade, don't look at the price of cashmere in the Holy City is three times that of Cameras City, but you have to pay tariffs at least twice along the way, Seven or eight road taxes add up to 20 percent higher than the cost, and it is impossible to make a big profit at all, unless you can transport a large number of goods, but the quantity of goods is low, and the purchase will be hindered by the local Chamber of Commerce in Carmelas, so it is impossible for Chen Kai and them to transport goods on a large scale
"Okay, don't fight, let's take a look at the form first, try to find something that can make some money to buy, but the amount should be larger, Xiaofei, you and I go with you to contact the mercenary group, let's hire a mercenary group to go back to Hansting, I don't want to be robbed on the road" Chen Kai ended the quarrel between Fei Yun and Zhao Tiezhu with a huge voice, took out twenty magic crystal coins from his pocket and handed them to the two of them to let them run to buy goods, and then took Xu Fei to the mercenary guild in Cameras to find the mercenary group for a task (to be continued)
