When those player lords began to discuss how to unite to seize Chen Kai's territory under the organization of Li Xiangrong, the old fox, or directly force Chen Kai to give up the benefits of the Gem Abyss, they would never have imagined that less than half an hour had passed. The content of their discussion and the final covenant were all on Chen Kai's desk, and Chen Kai only paid 500,000 gold coins for this.

Although this price sounds a little high, if you consider the privacy of this information and the timeliness of the message, it is worth the price. Of course, this qiē was not brought to Chen Kai by the player, but the news provided by the thief guild in the game.

When Chen Kai got the news, in addition to being glad that the news channel he had obtained at a huge cost was good enough, he was even more frightened of the methods of these aboriginal thieves' guilds. He didn't think that Li Xiangrong, Qi Shaohuang, and the others would discuss these things in the form of a tea party in the open air under the blue sky and white sun. If it were Chen Kai, he would definitely put the place where things were discussed in a safe enough place, and the place where the player lords from the Thieves' Guild would hold their meetings would be private enough.

Even Chen Kai couldn't have imagined that these players would leave the meeting place in the inn of Barony Kemdal's domain. If it was a spy sent by Chen Kai in this inn, it would be difficult to infiltrate Baron Kaimad's territory in the first place, and these player lords were discussing how to attack Chen Kai in this lord's territory, obviously in Chen Kai's opinion, they might have colluded with that baron. Although this conclusion is Chen Kai's inference, it is very close to the truth, because the relationship between the player lord and the aboriginal lord in the Hugodi territory is definitely not good. Baron Kemdal's hatred for player lords is the highest among all the aboriginal nobles, but in order to deal with Chen Kai, he even began to woo other player lords.

It's a pity that there is no evidence of collusion between the player lord and Baron Kemdal in the information provided by the thieves' guild, or it is not that there is no evidence, but the price offered by Chen Kai is not enough to make these aboriginal thieves excited, so as to provide these news and evidence. But according to the information that Chen Kai had at hand, it was enough to infer that there was information that made him anxious.

"Thank you, esteemed Dark President, for me!" When Chen Kai paid nearly fifty white magic crystals, he said to the aboriginal thief in front of him. The latter gently weighed the money bag in his hand, and the corners of his mouth, which were exposed under half of the mask, slowly pulled out a very dangerous-looking smile.

"Thank you, Honorable Baron Berkner! I think you and our president are very happy with this business! If there is still such a relaxed guy. Please let us know! Then if it's okay, I'll retire first! The thief didn't give Chen Kai any time to speak, and in fact, Chen Kai didn't have any idea of retaining it. When Chen Kai raised his head, the figure of the thief had slowly faded away with the wind, and finally only a trace of shadow was captured in Chen Kai's field of vision. This is a great thief whose strength is at least at the ninth order, if the other party wants to assassinate Chen Kai, then Chen Kai will hardly have any ability to resist. But no thief would be stupid enough to assassinate a lord, because doing so would have a disastrous effect on the entire thief profession. Although a thief can accept the task of assassinating a certain nobleman. However, they would never accept a task to assassinate a domain lord, because the lord of the territory was a local nobleman under the direct control of the Hansting Empire, unless these thieves wanted to offend the entire empire and the thieves' guild would be completely wiped out of the Hansting Empire.

You must know that the thief industry itself is a contradictory profession between darkness and light, and if they are going to carry out dark activities, then no one can escape their assassination. In the Dark Ages before the establishment of the Hansting Empire. Even kings have a record of dying at the hands of thieves, and assassinations that are not carried out by thieves are even more frequent. The nearly 100-year period of darkness and chaos in the last epoch and the end of this epoch was the most turbulent on the entire continent, and few records remained. It was during that period that the skeleton structure and rules of the current thieves' guilds were slowly established, and when this era opened, with the slow formation of several large empires, all the guild organizations were subject to the unified restrictions between the various empires, especially the thieves' guilds with criminal records were even more restricted. However, thanks to the strong thief who set the rules of the thieves' guild in the dark ages, if it weren't for the rules set by the thief strong, it is estimated that the current thieves' guild would not be able to operate on the bright side at all, but become a dark organization that can only survive underground. …,

But no matter what, Chen Kai has enough amazing news at the moment. Of course, for Chen Kai, these news were not enough to give him a headache, after all, the strength of those player lords was not comparable to the strength that Chen Kai had now. Although the number of soldiers on Chen Kaiming's face has not changed, whether it is cavalry or infantry, there is still only the original number, that is, 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, but in fact, if you count the militia that has been armed, then Chen Kai's actual military strength exceeds nearly 10,000.

Of course, Chen Kai also ruled out the unstable combat power of the player, you must know that the number of players in Burkner Town has exceeded 30,000, and most of them are coming towards the abyss of gems. But because the threshold of the gem abyss is too high. Some of the people did not stop in the town of Burkner, but ran to other places. The number of players in the entire town of Burkner is now almost unstable, reaching nearly 50,000 at its peak. Such a large number of players could have been organized to attack the trade route to Altinis, but in the end, they were unable to open the trade route to the south because no one organized or they did not fight.

Although the current trade route to the south will be connected for a few days at some point, for example, the grain that Chen Kai transported back from Altinis is the result of him organizing nearly 30,000 players to attack together and finally barely get through. Unfortunately, the trade route was cut off again after less than three days, and the terrifying number of nightmarish monsters and wingless imps in it caused the players to flee back to the castle with a lot of blood.

If it weren't for the various defenses that Chen Kai had newly installed in the Southern Castle, including the support of the two magic crystal cannons he had secretly bought, it was estimated that the southern gateway of Chen Kai's territory would have been destroyed under the attacks of tens of thousands of monsters and nearly seven hundred wingless little demons wielding fireballs. But that's it. Tens of thousands of monsters also caused extremely severe damage to Chen Kai's southern castle, and if it weren't for luck, it was estimated that the garrison of Chen Kai's southern castle would have to be replaced again. But in that battle, the number of aboriginal soldiers killed in the Southern Castle exceeded 1,000 for the first time, and nearly 500 veterans died under the fireball of monsters and demons. Even if the number of monsters and little demons killed added up to more than 10,000 after the fact, Chen Kai still felt that it was not worth it. You must know that the southern castle is very well equipped as a city defense. In Chen Kai's opinion, even if tens of thousands of regular troops attack, they can easily defend it. If it weren't for the presumptuousness of some players. It is estimated that Chen Kai's loss will not be so much, but after the incident, Chen Kai has no way to take those players.

For mobile players, if Chen Kai wants to target them, there is really no way to do it, they are all wandering around with the intention of not keeping their master here and having their own place to stay. Some players even have a wanted warrant in the territory of some aboriginal nobles, although it is a trivial matter, but if they return to those territories, they will definitely be arrested and imprisoned, even in Chen Kai's Berkna Town, hundreds of players have been caught by patrolling soldiers and thrown into prison in this month, and hundreds of players are wanted by Chen Kai and are at large. Either picking quarrels and provoking trouble, or molesting indigenous girls on the street, or simply engaging in some unprofitable business. Chen Kai even encountered three robberies against him. Of course, those players who were not accurate were directly sent by Chen Kai to drink the tea of the Hades King Antolo.

These players have caused the security situation in Burkner Town to plummet, so sometimes Chen Kai also feels a headache with the new players in Burkner Town. Although they brought a lot of tax revenue to the town of Burkner, and at the same time made the city that originally looked a little empty more lively, but unfortunately at the same time, Chen Kai's soldiers were exhausted. Even if it's late at night. There are also a lot of players roaming the streets, and their noise makes it impossible for the original residents to rest. Thankfully, as the novelty wore off, they began to quiet down, and as the gem gathering industry got back on track, the number of players gradually decreased. …,

This is not because Chen Kai deliberately monopolized the gem mining industry, but because the environment under the abyss is too harsh. The player named Wang Lei, the explorer of the Gem Abyss, has been missing for nearly a month, or it can't be said to be missing, at least occasionally he can still hear from him. But he couldn't figure out exactly where he had touched it, and the existence of zài in the underworld made him more frightened than stunned.

At the same time, the most important reason for Chen Kai to prohibit more players from mining in the abyss is to control the price of gems, when a large number of gems start to flood the market. Originally, the price of Hansting's gemstones began to fall. It can't be said to be a crazy fall, but at least the price has fallen by at least one level compared to before the gem abyss was mined. If Chen Kai opens more players to abyss mining, it will inevitably cause more gems to flow into the market, and the end result will be that the price of gems will fall again, threatening the interests of other gem merchants.

Whether it is for the safety of the territory or for the sake of his own life, Chen Kai must prevent more gems from entering the market. When the gems in Chen Kai's territory began to flow into the market in large quantities, he had actually threatened the vested interests of some gem merchants in the Hansting Empire. Because the price of gemstones does not fall very strictly. Therefore, these vested interests, that is, the original aboriginal merchants in the game, will not trouble Chen Kai. But if the price of gems continues to fall, then Chen Kai can be sure that those big businessmen who have been cut off by him will directly wave their butcher knives and directly destroy Chen Kai, a player nobleman.

So while Chen Kai knew that opening more gem mining areas would attract more players to stay, it would also put him in a more dangerous situation. This danger is that Chen Kai's income from mining in the gem mining area cannot be filled, even if Chen Kai gets more gold coins because of the newly added gem mining area, but if he himself is killed, so much money will become someone else's money. At least Chen Kai knew now that several Player Lords had planned to take out Chen Kai, a bastard who ate alone in their eyes, so as to occupy Chen Kai's Gem Abyss.

"Alright! What do you think now? Sitting on the huge rock chair in the conference hall, Chen Kai's hand gently tapped the table top of the newly added giant round table in the conference hall, and the entire table made a clicking sound under the tapping of his fingers.

"What else can I do? Strike first to be strong, and then to suffer! The chicken that was killed first showed the monkeys. Let them understand what the consequences of provoking us will be! "The first to speak was Guan Yu, who was mummified, the so-called good scar forgot the pain, and now the scar on Guan Yu's body has forgotten the pain. As a battle maniac, he has already revealed his position, but his words have not been approved by everyone, at least Chen Kai does not agree with this in his heart.

Although Chen Kai and Guan Yu are just as eager to fight. But he wasn't going to rally up the entire town's fighting force for no reason. Attacking their titular allies simply because of what the thieves' guild offers. In Chen Kai's opinion, it can't be him who tears up the covenant first, although this looks a bit like being a bitch and setting up an archway, but at least for his own prestige, Chen Kai has no intention of being a oathbreaker. You must know that Chen Kai is also a temple professional, whether it is a lie or a broken oath, it will damage Chen Kai's prestige and reduce Chen Kai's faith, leading Chen Kai's camp to shift.

So even if Chen Kai agreed with Guan Yu's words a little in his heart, in the end, after thinking about it, he still chose to veto Guan Yu's suggestion.

"That's it! If you are sick, you will take care of your illness! Don't interrupt! Xu Fei nodded lightly at Guan Yu, Guan Yu wanted to say something, but his mouth was directly sealed by a thin layer of magical power. Can't say anything. This poor guy can only shrink in the corner in a sad way now, and there is nothing else to do except draw circles in his heart and curse Xu Fei. …,

"Actually, the leader's idea is very simple! He couldn't have broken the covenant in the first place, even if it looked like waste paper to the bastards, but because the leader was a temple professional. The oath he made in the name of the Lord of the Dawn could not be broken in the first place. Otherwise, the first unlucky ones will not be the bastards, but the boss himself! Xu Fei slowly stood up after sealing Guan Yu's mouth, and the brilliant gems on the arcane master's robe on his body continued to flicker with arcane light. Although only Wang Xuewen can complete the making of secret gems, it does not mean that the secret gems that can only be made by adding the spells of the secret mage, and other spellcasters can also attach their own spells to the secret gems to become special gems belonging to their own spell system. The only thing the arcane mage needs to do is to make a spell base on the gem, and everything else will be done by Xu Fei himself.

"So what we're going to do is actually quite simple!" Xu Fei picked up the letter from the table that recorded the words of those players, and then slowly tore it open.

"Since we can't be the first to break the covenant, let's let these guys break their oaths first! All we need to do is wait and keep changing! Don't show any defensiveness except to be prepared! Do what you have to do! It's just that once those guys get their hands dirty. Then don't blame us for being rude! Hopefully those bastards' teeth are hard enough not to burst their own teeth! This bone in our town of Burkner is very hard, and it is not easy to gnaw! Did I say yes? Dear Mr. Thieves, I think the Thieves' Guild wants to continue to survive in Burkner! Xu Fei's words at first were extremely sonorous and powerful, but when his last few words rang out, both Xu Fei himself and the other spellcasters sitting in the lord's hall had already activated the spell gems he was wearing, and at the same time he had already grabbed the wand and staff with his hands. A lot of magic surged in gems and wands. And Xu Fei's eyes looked directly at someone in the corner.

"Huh! I'm just passing by, the brother in the back, how do you say it's a pot of mixed rice to give some face and remove some daggers? As the voice sounded slowly, a masked man in thief leather armor slowly appeared in the corner of the lord's chamber. When he appeared, Fei Yun's figure also appeared, but Fei Yun did not listen to his words and let go of the dagger in his hand.

"Passing by? Do you think we'll believe it? Whether it was Xu Fei or Chen Kaiyi or others, they all had such a look in their eyes when they looked at this thief. Of course, this thief himself understood that no one would believe his words, but he couldn't understand how he, a ninth-order great thief, could fail. And was touched by a junior to the back of the ass.

In the end, this thief was sent out of the City Lord's Mansion by Chen Kai and them, of course, all the things on his body were searched, except for a linen dress, and Fei Yun did not even leave a spare rope to the other party. In fact, if it weren't for the self-proclaimed president of the Dark Thirteen in Burkna, this thief named Leif wouldn't have wanted to get out of Chen Kai's lord's mansion completely, at least he would have been locked up by Chen Kai for ten days and half a month before he was released.
