It's a new month! Ask for a ticket! By the way, I wish you all a happy Children's Day! ――

Happy June 1st! ――

In less than a day, the Iron Cavalry and the Zodiac Alliance, which had been very prosperous in Hugodi, collapsed. Naturally, it is impossible for a lord who has lost his territory to be rewarded with a territory again, and even if two guilds can regain these two cities, it is difficult for them to be crowned as a lord again. In fact, the two guilds that have been disabled are now unable to regain their territory, in fact, most of the players of the two guilds are still in a daze, and even when they come out of the resurrection point, their first reaction is to pull out their weapons from their waists and prepare to rush to the city again.

But when they saw the place of their resurrection, the weapon in their hands fell to the ground with a clatter. Because they know that their resurrection is meaningless, and some players have even died a second time. But they still didn't see the news that the town was holding on, but got the sad end in front of them.

Losing the battle this time is tantamount to losing all the income of the entire guild after entering the game, even if it is a large guild such as the Iron Rider and the Zodiac Alliance, which still have guild branches and territories in other regions, it will not be able to slow down at all for a while. What made Feng Buyun and Qi Shaohuang most angry was estimated to be Li Xiangrong's stab in the back, if it weren't for the fact that most of the people were scattered in various towns and cities at this moment to resurrect, maybe Feng Buyun and Qi Shaohuang would directly take weapons to find Li Xiangrong after all the members were resurrected.

But they also know that Xianghu Town at this moment is definitely well guarded, and the player may be okay to defend the city, but when it comes to attacking the city, it will definitely not work. Not to mention their current state, if they run to attack Xianghu Town, they will send death and experience to send money by the way. Therefore, no matter how angry Feng Buyun and Qi Shaohuang were in their hearts, they had to endure their anger.

In fact, even if they didn't want to endure it, they had to endure it, because both Feng Buyun and Qi Shaohuang were wandering in the resurrection corridor at the moment. As union leaders, they were the last to die in battle. There are still a large number of players to protect them before they die. It's a pity that no matter how well they are protected, they still burp in the end. Under the frenzied attacks of the drow elves and minotaurs, no matter how many players are also delivering food. But the more ruthless ones are the madmen of the Zodiac. Nearly thirty tons of gunpowder were buried under the Lord's Palace. The moment these gunpowders were finally ignited, they directly turned half of the lord's mansion into dust.

Although the explosive power of thirty tons of explosives is at most the explosive power of five tons of TNT, the gunpowder must also be ignited at the same time in an instant to achieve this power. In real life, it would take a lot of detonators to complete such a detonation, but there is no such thing as a detonator in the game. However, there are no detonators in the game. But there is magic. After the ordinary flame magic array was connected in series, it became the basis of the huge magic array in the town of the Zodiac Alliance, and the effect of instantly activating 1,700 flame magic arrays was better than arranging hundreds or thousands of detonators. At the same time, the black powder made by these madmen of the Zodiac League added a lot of magic crystal powder as a deflagration agent, and these magic crystal powder basically cannot produce an explosive effect in normal times, but when the temperature becomes very high in an instant, the power generated is enough to instantly increase the explosive effect of black powder by more than doubling.

If this was all there was to it, then the power of the explosion would not be able to wipe out half of the entire Zodiac Alliance Lord's Mansion in an instant. Other players won't call the Zodiac crazy anymore. Because in addition to the magic crystal powder in the black powder, they also added fierce fire oil to stir it, and sprinkled a large amount of other in-game deflagration substances. The final effect of these substances is black powder, which does not have a very good explosion effect in reality, and then becomes an explosive that is not much worse than TNT after such a treatment with almost no scientific certification. Thirty tons of black powder eventually produced the same power as thirty tons of TNT, or even a lot more.

The effect of this explosion was amazing, even more terrifying than the lethality of the Zodiac League's players fighting five disappearances. In addition to directly reimbursing the leaders of the Zodiac Alliance, including Qi Shaohuang, nearly a hundred elites in an instant, they also lost the number of about 500 people in Zhuoer and the Blackhorned Minotaur. This part of the Minotaur and Zhuo'er died almost instantly like Qi Shaohuang and them, and they didn't even have time to make a call. Of course, not all the drow and minotaurs in the lord's mansion were hung up, at least the three holy rank powerhouses who were responsible for attacking the towns of the Zodiac Alliance survived, while in fact, there were four holy ranks that attacked the lord's mansion. An unfortunate drow elven sanctuary was very unfortunate to be at the very center of the explosion. Even if he was extremely powerful, he still had no time to escape in the face of a gunpowder explosion with a power comparable to thirty tons of TNT. Although the force of the explosion was not directly blasted into ashes by him at the beginning. However, the resulting impact shattered his defenses in an instant, and eventually made him lose the ability to escape.

However, it was precisely because of this explosion of the Zodiac Alliance that Feng Buyun, who was originally going to do such a scene in Iron Horse Town, was deflated. Because of the loss of a holy rank, Drow suddenly shrank his head when attacking, and Feng Buyun, who originally wanted to burn the jade with the opponent, was finally killed by Drow's archmage with a spell. Although the explosive powder was eventually ignited, it only exploded a few small places under the wash of a large amount of water element.

Of course, in the end, the name of the madman was only crowned on the head of Qi Shaohuang of the Zodiac League, who made Qi Shaohuang lucky to detonate successfully, causing a very terrible explosion. Although the player is unaware that one of Drow's Holy Orders died in the explosion, the horrific effect of the explosion has also established the reputation of the Zodiac Alliance as the leader of the game's terrorists among the players. While it's not uncommon for players to use flames as human bombs in combat, the amount of flames that come together to create such a horrific explosion, and most importantly, the cost of using gunpowder in this way is not high. The cost of black powder in the game is very low, especially if the player is very close to a neighbor like the Black Dwarf who has lava underground, making it easy to get something like Brimstone. The only trouble is saltpeter, and there are many saltpeter mines in Hugodi, even if the grade is not very high, there is no problem in making black powder. In fact, Chen Kai's Berkner Town had at least nearly 100 tons of black powder hidden, and after this move by the Zodiac Alliance, he directly used the original simple formula of black powder to further process it again using the Zodiac Alliance's practice.

When the Drow began to clean up the mess in the two towns, they had no idea that there had been a large group of terrorists in the southern towns for a few days. Although the Drow did not break their bones when they captured Iron Rider and Zodiac. But there are also many injuries. So they just need to recuperate. And when the drow had finished recuperating and raised the butcher's knife again. Players in the South have completed research and development of new gunpowder weapons.

The so-called new gunpowder weapon is actually not complicated, but the gunpowder barrel of the past has become a new magic explosion barrel with a magic array added, of course, the detonation conditions on the outside have been changed, and the gunpowder inside has naturally changed. The original ordinary black powder has become the current special gunpowder, and in addition to the fierce fire oil, a large amount of explosive magic powder that can release energy in an instant is added. Of course, the cost of a powder keg that originally cost at most fifty gold coins and a hundred kilograms instantly increased tenfold, reaching at least five hundred gold coins per magic explosion barrel. Moreover, the amount of gunpowder was reduced from 100 kilograms to less than 30 kilograms. The effect of the reduction in the amount of the component is that the original stored gunpowder can be used to configure more magic explosion barrels, of course, only Berkner Town has mastered the magic explosion barrel technology at present, because it is Xu Fei and these spellcasters who developed the magic explosion barrel.

In fact, in addition to changing the name, the so-called magic explosion barrel is actually the most primitive gunpowder explosion barrel, except for the change from a wooden barrel to a wooden barrel covered with iron sheets, the biggest change is that the trigger device of the explosion has changed from the original lead to a built-in spell crystal detonation. In fact, the biggest reason for the price cost of nearly five hundred gold coins in the entire Demon Explosion Barrel was this spell crystal. Even if this spell crystal is attached to the lowest-level small fireball, it can cost as much as three hundred gold coins. Spell Crystals trigger an explosion by taping to one end of the built-in metal bucket with glue. When the Magic Explosion Barrel smashed to the ground, the spell crystal was detonated due to the impact, and then naturally detonated the powdered powder outside the small metal barrel. At the same time, in order to prevent the powder keg from falling apart directly when it hits the ground, the bread outside the barrel is covered with iron sheets. However, even if they are wrapped in iron sheets, it is difficult for these magic explosion barrels not to be smashed when they land, and the final detonation effect is not good. Therefore, the best landing point for these magic explosion barrels is to smash on the body of the living organism, as long as it hits the body of those minotaurs, with a layer of soft meat as a buffer, then the complete explosion becomes a real thing.

However, it is the Catapult that fires the Magic Explosion Barrel, and with the hit level of the Castile, it is as difficult to smash the Magic Explosion Barrel into the body of those drow or minotaurs in the dark of night as it is to shoot a bird with a cannon. Even if it were the elaborate slings of the dwarves on the ground at the head of the town of Burkner, the accurate head would not be so good. It is estimated that these magic barrels will only be used in the same way as sleepers in the end. That is, to throw it directly down from the city wall. However, the power of the Demon Explosion Barrel is still good, at least better than using 100 kilograms of gunpowder to finally explode even a Demon Wolf without killing it.

After all, the power of a powder keg is not small if it is detonated instantly. However, unless the magic array was used to detonate, it was impossible to completely detonate nearly 100 kilograms of gunpowder in an instant. Of course, the original flame barrel detonated with the magic array was basically the first generation of the magic explosion barrel, and now it is the second generation, and only in the case of large-scale mining in the gem abyss, Chen Kai and the others have the financial resources and materials to make the magic explosion barrel. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to prepare all the spell crystals Chen Kai alone, even the lowest-level fire element spell crystals that could be attached to the fireball technique. If it's a dozen or twenty, then there's no problem in buying it from the market, but if it's hundreds or thousands of spell crystals, then buying them with money is simply a deadly thing. In fact, the nearly 3,000 magic explosion barrels in the current warehouse in Burkner Town were all prepared with that power after the gem abyss was mined, and if it was to buy those spell crystals with money, the price of buying spell gems alone would be enough to make Chen Kai bankrupt. Of course, the magic explosion barrels in Chen Kai's warehouse are all the third generation changed from the second generation of magic explosion barrels, and the so-called second generation is naturally a powder keg detonated by spell crystals. If it weren't for this modification, no matter how much overtime the players in Burkner Town worked, they wouldn't have been able to create more than 3,000 Magic Explosion Barrels in two days.

However, no matter how fast the modification is, the actual combat ability of the three generations of magic explosion barrels is still enough, because even the magic explosion barrel wrapped in iron is too far from the real aerial bomb. In particular, the stability of the spell crystal is really enough, even if they are carrying Chen Kai, they are worried that the magic explosion bucket will explode.

Fortunately, Xu Fei assured Chen Kai that these spell crystals would never explode without a violent collision, and of course, it was fortunate that the drow elves who had touched into Burkner Town did not open this warehouse, otherwise the explosion would have turned one-tenth of the city into ruins. After all, at that time, there were more than 2,000 second-generation Demon Explosion Barrels piled up in the warehouse. And there are almost 100 tons of gunpowder. All the gunpowder added up to more than 300 tons. If this gunpowder is set on fire by the drows. It's definitely enough for Chen Kai to drink a pot. Fortunately, at that time, the Drow who attacked the warehouse put the first target in the gem warehouse, and then chose to run away directly after grabbing the Abyss Star, otherwise the loss suffered by Burkner Town might not only be half destroyed by Chen Kai's lord's mansion.

However, even though there were nearly 3,000 magical world bombs stored in the warehouse, Chen Kai still felt that the town's defense force was too weak. Unfortunately, at this time he didn't have many cards to draw. The drow elves have more and more cards in their hands. The occupation of the two towns not only gave Drow a large amount of land, but also a larger amount of food. Even if the towns belonging to the Zodiac Alliance and the Iron Riders had already moved away from the aborigines before the battle, they had no way to transfer the food. The food left in the city was originally intended for the player, which was prepared at three times the cost of the aborigines. Originally, the food prepared by 10,000 aborigines was only a few hundred tons. Three times that is more than 1,000 tons. The two towns provided nearly 3,000 tons of food to the Drow for free this time, even if it was not as good as the food found in Beihu Town, it was enough for the servants of the Drow to share the tanotaur.

If it weren't for the need for Drow's troops to rest, and the minotaurs also needed to rest and recruit new men from the underworld, it is estimated that on the third day after the Iron Rider Town was overturned, the Minotaurs would have attacked on their own and rushed towards the surrounding towns.

However, even in a state of recuperation, the Minotaurs were not settled, and in addition to sending some of them to transport food to the nests of the underground world, they were more likely to wander around with the weapons issued by the Drows. Constant harassment and attacks on the surrounding cities, whether it is the player's town or the village of the native lord, even the town of the Baron Huberdine is within the range of these minotaurs. These restless minotaurs even crossed a distance of almost a hundred kilometers. Appearing on the edge of the territory of Burkner Town, he almost scared Guan Yu to death when he patrolled with the newly trained black-armored cavalry. You must know that the number of minotaurs that appear can be more than 3,000. And Guan Yu brought less than five hundred black-armored cavalry, and half of them were Xinding.

If Guan Yu hadn't fled immediately when he saw that the situation was wrong, it was estimated that the five hundred cavalry would have swallowed those bull-headed men directly. Of course, in the end, these minotaurs fled under the pressure of nearly 6,000 cavalry, but they didn't know that at least half of the so-called 5,000 cavalry were players, and the other half also had a third of the recruits. If the bull-headed people knew, it was estimated that these so-called cavalry who came in a hurry would be swallowed by their counter-charge.

Although he scared away these minotaurs, Chen Kai knew very well that Hu Gedi's situation had begun to deteriorate. When those minotaurs summon more people with their food, it may turn into a terrible disaster. According to Alyssa, this is very likely, because the Minotaur in the Underworld is so short of food, and having enough food to survive this time is very important for every Minotaur tribe. However, due to the complexity of the roads in the underground world, the distance between each Minotaur tribe is at least three or four days, or even a month or two away. Therefore, the number of minotaurs who arrived in a short period of time was not too large, and this is the reason why it took nearly a month for these minotaurs to appear in Hugodi.

Even if these minotaurs carry food back to the underground world to summon new clansmen, it is estimated that there will be no new minotaurs coming to the surface in the world for ten days and half a month. Therefore, Chen Kai still has at least some time to breathe, but everyone knows that when the next wave of minotaurs arrives, it will be the most difficult time to pass. At this time, those aboriginal nobles who could find a way began to ask their families for help, but even if their family power was huge, it was impossible to shake the determination of the Emperor of the Hansting Empire in a short period of time, and sent troops from the imperial capital to clean up these minotaurs. The only possibility is that these families themselves sent their own private armies into Hugodi to help these nobles defend.

However, it is a felony for a private army to leave the territory without permission, and it will cause these noble families to be punished by the royal family of the Hansting Empire. Therefore, the strength that can get the support of the family will definitely not be too much, and it will not be a private army in the formation, and it will only be a mercenary led by a few masters.
