Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

As time went on, the players began to patrol the territory of Hugodi with a very regular attitude, which is definitely not a good thing for players, especially Hugodi lords. Because this means that they have completely lost control of most of the territories in Hugodi's territory, which means that most of the lords have basically no control over the territory outside the city except for their own towns.

Fortunately, Chen Kai doesn't have to worry about this, in fact, it is estimated that Chen Kai's ability to control the territory is the highest in everyone's territory. Although he still had to shrink inward, the isolation of the Gem Abyss made it impossible for Chen Kai to shrink too much. In such a situation, even if he may face an attack by the Minotaurs, Chen Kai still has to keep at least nearly 10,000 troops outside the city. “,

So a large number of players were recruited by Chen Kai, and they patrolled for two hours a day with the gold coins given by Chen Kai. Of course, for most players who are not very combative, such gold coins are the best to earn, because all they need to do is to be there to fake the tiger. Although the Minotaurs are strong, they generally do not dare to attack the player's troops when the ratio of the two sides is very different.

However, in this way, the gold coins that Chen Kai needs to pay every day have begun to increase several times, and even if each of the more than 10,000 players only takes one gold coin from Chen Kai's hand, then it will be 10,000 gold coins. Even if Chen Kai is rich, he can't withstand such a toss, but if Chen Kai is allowed to take these players to attack those minotaurs, even if he multiplies the gold coins more than ten times, it is estimated that no one will participate. Because the players will not run to die, unless Chen Kai sends his own aboriginal soldiers to participate in the battle. But Chen Kai probably won't do this, because then his loss will be very large. "Look

He was well aware of the nature of these players, and if he sent an aboriginal army to attack these minotaurs, and then brought the players with him, he might not be able to end up being his own soldiers who would be used as shields. For these players, their own level and small lives are definitely worth more than Chen Kai's soldiers, but in Chen Kai's opinion, the player's life is far less valuable than the aboriginal soldiers. Of course, the main thing is that Chen Kai is now from the perspective of the lord. Relative to the player's ability to resurrect when dead. Indigenous soldiers are too difficult to train. Therefore, unless Chen Kai has tens of thousands of aboriginal soldiers in his hands. Otherwise, he would never use ordinary soldiers as cannon fodder.

In fact, even if he had tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, he would not be able to use the aboriginal soldiers as cannon fodder, and if he had a choice, he would still throw the players out as cannon fodder. Although Chen Kai is also a player himself, he is also the lord of the territory, and Chen Kai is very judgmental about how to use soldiers to be more beneficial to himself.

However, Chen Kai's move is still very effective. At least for some time, the Minotaur Patrol has been seen very little outside of Burkner. Compared to how often these minotaurs patrol other places, they appear far less often within the territory of Burknertown. There weren't even three or four days of no Minotaur appearances, which was really good news for players in Burknertown. It's a pity that there are basically no leveling points around the entire town, and even those rogue bucktooth rabbits or goblins with terrible breeding abilities have been completely wiped out under the repeated slaughter of players in Burkner Town. It can be said that if the player wants to level up monsters in Burkner, it becomes almost impossible. The only way for most players to level up is to do the small daily tasks in the city that have a decent amount of experience.

However, the number of players in the town is almost half or more than half, and not all natives can give quests, so the only way for most players to earn experience is to run to the underworld. Although players know that the underground world has become very dangerous now, if they don't run to the underground world, they will not have monster leveling, and as the army of the drow overwhelms the realm, the underground world has become more dangerous and has become a treasure place for many masters to make money.

The way to make money in the Underworld is to attack the Drow or Minotaur troops that carry food, which is a very risky thing to do. Because a careful player will be killed by their own lives, but relatively speaking, the benefits of attacking these drows are very large, and it is not only the player who is doing this, but some of the aboriginal mercenary teams are also engaged in this behavior. Many of these aboriginal mercenaries were invited by the aboriginal nobles for a lot of money, and they knew very well that it was impossible to win with their own men in a frontal battle against the minotaurs, so they chose to enter the underground world to attack the minotaurs who transported food to their nests. For these mercenaries, licking blood from the knife edge is originally their life. Moreover, the mercenaries who were invited by those aboriginal nobles with a lot of money are not weak, and even many of them are half-footed Cunzài who have stepped into the Holy Order.

In fact, Chen Kai also wanted to use the guò mercenary guild to spend money to hire some mercenary groups to come to Berkna Town for permanent residence. But he's spending a lot of money on it. Not all mercenary groups want to be stationed in a certain place, especially in a place like Hugodi, where something happens every now and then. In fact, most of the large mercenary groups would not come to Hugodi to eat, because they knew that Drow was not easy to mess with. Only those small mercenary groups or solo mercenaries with strong self-sustaining strength will come to join in, and the town of Berkna is also very welcoming to such mercenaries, but unfortunately some mercenaries are not from the guò mercenary guild, but those mercenaries under the power of the aboriginal aristocratic families.

When these guys arrived, Chen Kai saw that the already chaotic Hu Gedi Leader became more and more chaotic. However, in this chaotic situation, Chen Kai still did not have any assassination of the top leaders of Zhuoer, or the assassination of the aboriginal noble player lord. As time went by, Chen Kai was about to forget the information that Fei Yun heard from Xianghu Town, because there was really any news that could prove that Li Xiangrong, an old fox, would assassinate him.

At the same time, the inspection of the caravans of the Xianghu Brotherhood has also been gradually relaxed, but this is only on the surface. Chen Kai knew very well that if he really relaxed his vigilance, maybe he would be the one who was stabbed in the next moment. Chen Kai's vigilance is very high for the guy who can stab his allies without changing his face, even if he relaxes the inspection of the Xianghu brothers' caravan on the surface, but secretly Chen Kai still keeps Fei Yun on those people.

For Chen Kai, he always felt that Li Xiangrong was like a hungry wolf lurking in the shadows, ready to show his fangs at any time. If it weren't for the identity of the other lord. It is estimated that he has already been slaughtered. In fact, when Fei Yuntan heard that Li Xiangrong was preparing to assassinate the cloaked man. Li Xiangrong himself was also the target of assassination by others. Those players who took the initiative to break away from the Iron Riders and the Zodiac Alliance were killed in front of Li Xiangrong several times. almost split the body of this big boss of the Xianghu Brotherhood. It's a pity that in the end, they all fell short, and they were also charged with wanted crimes.

However, it was precisely because of these assassinations that Chen Kai wondered if the information Fei Yuntan heard was because Li Xiangrong himself knew that he was going to be assassinated, so he broke the teacup in a panic. But then he thought about it carefully, and now it doesn't look like it, because the assassination is a player. Players usually communicate with each other through a communicator, and assassination plans are rarely carried out in the game. Therefore, the chance of being heard is very low, and it is even more impossible to be seen by a character who looks like an aborigine.

The most important thing is that when Fei Yun escaped, the power of the cloaked male explosion was too strong, and it was not something that a player could grasp at all. So that cloak man is basically not far from ten, and he is an aboriginal powerhouse. And Chen Kai, the aboriginal powerhouse of Hugodi, basically knows that unless the other party is a mercenary who has just arrived in Hugodi. However, since the cloak man first appeared, at least half a month has passed, not only can Fei Yun not find news of the other party, but even through the Guò Thieves' Guild, he can't inquire about the whereabouts of the other party, which has to make Chen Kai suspicious of the other party's identity.

But no matter how suspicious Chen Kai was, he would never have thought that the final target of the so-called assassination would be him, although Chen Kai had already done a very good job of defending himself, but when the assassination came, he still felt at a loss. The most important thing is that he really doesn't understand why the other party wants to kill him, because as a player, even if he is killed, he will be resurrected in a short time, and it is impossible to receive too much loss.

It was still a very normal morning, and due to the constant patrol of the Minotaur in the surrounding territory, most of the player lords could only do it secretly, and the trade between the lords near the north almost came to a halt. Because the caravan was almost certain to run into the Minotaur patrol along the road, several aboriginal nobles in the north cut off trade with the south after a few losses. Only one trade route away from the town of Beihu and the area of the old town of Hugodi was still walked by caravans. And this trade route was basically transported to the north of the grain.

Chen Kai has both love and hatred for this trade route, because the preservation of this trade route allows the gems excavated from the gem abyss to be transported to the north in exchange for gold coins. But Chen Kai had to send heavy troops to protect the caravan. And not only to protect the opponent's actions in their own territory, but also to protect the opponent until they reach Hugawa. Because Chen Kai was the only one in the entire Hugodi Territory who had the strength to divide his forces to protect this caravan, and because the caravan was transporting food and precious magic gems, it was easy to be targeted by the Drows. Therefore, the troops sent by Chen Kai are all very elite black-armored cavalry with a large number of infantry, and of course, there are a lot of players.

Fortunately, such caravans only happened three or four times a month, especially as Drow gradually expanded in Hugodi, and the number of caravans became less and less, but the volume of transactions increased. Not only did the volume of grain reach nearly five thousand tons per shipment, but the variety of precious goods from the South more than doubled. Because the owner of the caravan is also the twin brother of the Emperor of the Hansting Empire, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince who has been crowned the eighth lamb of the king more than once in Chen Kai's heart. This prince, who was keen to earn gold coins, was Chen Kai's biggest benefactor, but every time the opponent's caravan came to Burkner, the defense power would be greatly reduced.

This time it was still the other party's caravan, and the size of the caravan was a little unbearable, because there were nearly three hundred carriages of carriages transporting grain alone. Each carriage was made of a spatial structure, which could be stuffed with at least a hundred tons of grain, almost like a small warehouse. Three hundred wagons carried at least nearly thirty thousand tons of grain, while the other wagons that transported various goods from the South added up to nearly a hundred. The carriages alone were four kilometers long, and as soon as they entered the territory of the town of Birkna, Chen Kai had to send his own troops to escort the caravan to Hugawa.

This was definitely a very painful thing for Chen Kai, because the number of carriages was too large, and there were less than five hundred mercenaries escorting the carriages. Although there were nearly three Saint-rank powerhouses inside, such a large amount of supplies would definitely be dispatched if the Drow knew about it. Because the amount of 30,000 tons of grain can definitely drive those drows crazy, and those minotaurs are even less likely to let go of these grains.

Therefore, in order to escort these caravans, Chen Kai sent all the black-armored cavalry. Nearly two thousand soldiers were attached. Five thousand regular soldiers and cavalry escorted the caravan. In addition, Chen Kai also excluded nearly 2,000 players from joining it. What makes Chen Kai depressed is that Chen Kai needs to pay for the employment fees of these players. That prince wouldn't give Chen Kai a dime. The only place where Chen Kai could use the other party was to use this caravan to help him transport gems to the north for sale, and at least pay a part of the tax burden.

When Chen Kai watched the caravan slowly leave Burkner Town, he was now a caravan from the Xianghu Brotherhood slowly entering the city. Although Chen Kai has always paid attention to the caravan of the Xianghu Brotherhood, this is the second time he has seen it during this time. After all, Chen Kai couldn't stay at the city gate every day. Especially when Alyssa, the minotaur girl, appeared, he followed the other party almost wherever he went. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was pulled by Chen Yi to pray at the temple now, Chen Kai wouldn't have dared to come to the city gate. Of course, he was not afraid that Alyssa's appearance would be looked at by other players, but that Alyssa's current dress in front of him would cause a riot. After all, the other party is wearing too cool now. Especially now that the town of Burkner has entered the summer, the already very hot weather can instantly make people feel like they are on fire when they see Alyssa's hot outfit.

Seeing the caravan of the Xianghu Brotherhood, Chen Kai subconsciously glanced at it, and at that moment, Chen Kai seemed to feel that someone in the caravan was watching him. It's a pity that when Chen Kai's gaze swept over again, the other party had already turned his face away, and Chen Kai used the Eye of the Stars to observe the entire caravan, and the people in the caravan were not shrouded in red or black light that represented evil. However, there were a few people with some orange lights that looked a little strange, this kind of light was the first time Chen Kai had seen it, so he couldn't tell what camp the other party was for a while.

But when Chen Kai walked down the tower, he saw that the targets that were showing orange light were moving in his direction, Chen Kai subconsciously chose to put on the armor immediately and hold his weapon in his hand. He seemed a little too nervous about doing this, but when Chen Kai went down to the bottom of the stairs of the city gate, the orange targets suddenly lifted off the cloaks they were wearing. At that moment, Chen Kai's eyes blessed with the Eye of Delusion of the Stars saw a blood-red glow glowing with black light, which was the color that only targets with extremely evil aura would display.

"Damn! What is this guy going to do Li Xiangrong! How could such a storage zài be allowed to mix into the caravan! Chen Kai subconsciously closed his eyes the moment he saw the blood-red patch. Then work hard to remove the blessing effect of the Eye of Delusion. Because the effect of the Eye of the Stars' Delusion made Chen Kai's eyes a little too burdened, especially when the target was an extremely evil being.

When Chen Kai opened his eyes again, his eyes could clearly see the other party's appearance. Because these guys are less than twenty meters away from themselves. But at this time, Chen Kai would rather not see the other party's appearance clearly, because the other party's appearance is too weird. However, even if the other party was weird, he still recognized the identity of the other party in an instant, only a demon would have two horns on his head, but Chen Kai couldn't tell which race the other party was a demon at once.

However, even if he couldn't tell Chen Kai, he knew that the other party was definitely not a small role, especially what interested him was the cloak that the other party's eyes covered his body, and the thing that could cover such a strong evil aura on his body was definitely a treasure. It's a pity that such a treasure was directly torn off by the other party, and what made Chen Kai puzzled was that the players of the Xianghu Brotherhood in the distance were a little overwhelmed.

Of course, for Chen Kai, the situation of those players is not the point, for him, the only focus now is to kill the four demons that rushed towards him. But at the moment when the weapon in his hand collided with the war knife cut by the other party, Chen Kai definitely couldn't imagine that it would be himself who would be killed.

The demon Chen Kai holding a weapon has not been seen uncommonly, and the weapons in the hands of the demon often represent their rank. Generally speaking, the better the demon is the higher the rank, and the demon with the garbage weapon is basically the poor middle peasant in the demon world. The weapon that collided with the giant sword in Chen Kai's hand was not a garbage no matter how you looked at it, the faint blue light exuded a green aura that made Chen Kai numb, and Chen Kai felt dizzy the moment he smelled these breaths. He knew that the other party had smeared a terrible poison on his weapon, and this poison he had smelled on Drow's weapon before, it was a terrible drug that could make him take out and drop directly.
