The restoration of the castle lasted for almost half a month, which was almost the weakest stage in the entire town of Berkner. But with the arrival of the soldiers' families, the whole town began to radiate new life, and of course, there was sadness beyond the first time. After all, when these people happily arrived at Chen Kai's territory, they got the news of the death of their husband's father, which was too big a blow to some families, and it was not possible to compensate for it with gold coins at all.

However, none of the family members cursed Chen Kai, after all, they also knew that when their husbands became soldiers, they were destined to die on the battlefield one day. Even if one day they are too old to raise their arms, once the country needs them, those former soldiers will still join the fight for some reason.

In the game, the term "soldier" is basically not completely retired, and once you become a soldier, you will be a soldier for the rest of your life unless you die. But when you are old, you can lay down your arms and become an old farmer in the countryside, but you will not necessarily be removed as a soldier. Even if you don't get paid as a soldier, you can still be drafted into the army if your lord needs it. It's just that if even veterans in their sixties and seventies need to be drafted, then the territory is basically close to being destroyed.

After the arrival of these family members, Chen Kai gained some new soldiers, of course, at the cost of strict restrictions on the development of agriculture in his territory. Because all the young adults were asked by Chen Kai to join the army, but there was no way to do it. Facing the attacks of the former lord's demonized soldiers again and again, Chen Kai was almost exhausted. Although the number of demonized soldiers attacking in the past half a month has decreased sharply, almost less than one time, and because Chen Kai has held the castle, the area south of the town of Berkna is very stable.

However, only Chen Kai's territory was filled with underground caves, and other areas in the north still had passages along with the underground. No one knows how many passages lead to the dark underground in the entire Hugodi territory, and some passages are simply not something that the player's current strength can block. At least Chen Kai knew that there was a huge passage to the underground world in a player territory called Xianghu Brotherhood, which was only ten kilometers away from his territory, and most of the forces of this player guild were pinned down around this passage before Chen Kai arrived, and they were attacked almost once every three days on average.

However, after the establishment of Chen Kai's territory, this player organization called the Xianghu Brotherhood lived a comfortable life for a while. But half a month after Chen Kai's castle was attacked, a large number of strange sounds came from the underground entrance of this territory that was blocked by players. Although this voice has not appeared for more than a month. But the players of the Xianghu Brotherhood, especially those who are guarding around this underground mine, are absolutely familiar when they hear this voice. You must know that when they heard this voice before, it meant that at least dozens of demonized cavalry and hundreds of demonized soldiers appeared. At the same time, the louder the sound, the greater the number of monsters that appear. This time, the sound from the underground mine was very intense, and at the same time, a large number of miner players who were digging ore escaped crying and shouting for their mothers, and at the same time, there were also players from the Xianghu Brotherhood patrolling the underground mines.

"Quick! Fast! Ring the alarm bell, there are at least a thousand demonized soldiers down there, and there are several big guys! A wolf bèi escaped from the mine and roared loudly at his companion, but as soon as he finished speaking, a tentacle spike burst out of the underground mine and instantly pierced his chest. At the same time, they pulled him back into the pitch-black underground mine. If you look closely, it wasn't the tentacle spikes that pierced his chest, but a pink tongue.

The player he greeted barely reacted, and by the time he did, a pink tongue had reappeared in the pitch-black mine, this time not piercing him like his companions, but directly into the underground mine. When his body shook again, he saw that he was already in the mine, and he was slowly swallowed into his mouth by a large mouth of blood. …,

When the alarm bells are ringing. Several players have been dragged in by the pink tongue that shoots out of the mine, but no information has been revealed. The only message was the terrible wail, and the tone that came after the elongation, accompanied by the sound of chewing and swallowing, of course.

When the players of the Xianghu Brotherhood see the pink tentacle or the owner of the tongue, it is also when the other party is completely exposed to the sun. A huge demonized monitor lizard that is three or four meters tall is the culprit that devoured more than a dozen players, and when it is most terrifying, its mouth full of fangs is very good, even if the steel can also bite with a click, it can be chewed and swallowed directly. As for whether something can't be digested if swallowed, it is estimated that there will be no such thing, because the monsters in the game, especially the huge creatures, often have special characteristics, that is, the digestive system is particularly powerful. Even metals can be digested. The skin of the strengthened body forms a special metal layer, and the metallic spikes and claws of this demonized monitor lizard are obviously creatures with such characteristics.

The most terrifying thing is that there is not just one, but several. If it was just a demonized monitor lizard, then the Xianghu Brotherhood, which had tens of thousands of players, would not be afraid. After all, there are at least more than 7,000 players in the entire guild with combat power, and even if the opponent's strength is strong, they can be piled to death, but there are demonized soldiers who keep popping up in the back, so things are different.

The president of the Xianghu Brotherhood made a direct decision the moment he got the situation, that is, to completely abandon this resource point that was very important to his territory. It is important to know that a mine that produces metal ore is very important for the development of a territory, and there are only two ore areas in the entire Hugodi domain, one of which is located in the domain of Baron Kemdal in the League of Aboriginal Nobility. Unfortunately, the mining area is a poor mining area. The amount of metal ingots produced in a month is only a few hundred kilograms. It's not enough to make a few sets of armor.

However, the Xianghu Brotherhood's mine is the most important mining area in the entire Hugodi territory, producing more than five tons of ore per month. And that's not even counting the rare mythril associated minerals and gemstones. Basically, after the Xianghu Brotherhood took over this place, it could provide the guild with a net income of thousands of gold coins or even tens of thousands of gold coins every month. Giving up such a resource point can be said to be a considerable pressure on the president, but he knows very well that if he does not give up this resource point, he will not have the strength to hold his territory. This territory, which only owned a castle and a village, was the foundation of the entire Xianghu Brotherhood, and basically everyone's money was invested in the construction of this place. If the resource point is gone, you can grab it back, but if the territory is gone, you can't even grab it.

Therefore, this leader has made a battle strategy of guarding the territory. After checking the number of demonized soldiers, all the player troops sent out retreated, and then began to desperately dig trenches around the territory and strengthen the walls. A large number of improvised catapults, stone throwers, were made up to strengthen the defenses of the territory and prepare for the armies of the former lords.

But what made the president vomit blood was that he tried his best to strengthen the defensive position, and finally got the news that the army that had escaped from the underground mine was running towards Chen Kai's town of Burkner. Hear this. The player named Li Feng almost vomited blood out of breath. However, he still issued an alert to Chen Kai, after all, Chen Kai bought a lot of metal ore from him, and also provided him with some armor that was taken off the demonized soldiers, which was a relatively good customer. So he didn't want Chen Kai to fall out as soon as he spoke, of course, he definitely wouldn't want Chen Kai to have nothing to do. After all, everyone is looking for food in one place, although there is no contradiction now. But it doesn't mean that they won't fight each other because of development issues in the future, so the two sides are not only trading partners, but also in competition, so the president cut off a zero egg in the number of demonized soldiers. …,

Of course, Chen Kai will not fully believe the words of his future competitors, although he is not a cunning businessman who has been in the mall for half his life, but he knows very well what kind of enemies he will face in the future. So he directly put a question mark on the number of hundreds of demonized soldiers, but on the surface, he still wanted to express his gratitude to the boss of the Xianghu Brotherhood, as for how to curse the other party in his heart, that was another matter.

But then again, even though Chen Kai knew that the other party might be deceiving him, Chen Kai hoped that what the president said was true. After all, hundreds of demonized soldiers are not a matter of severity for the territory. But in reality it's almost impossible. If there were only a few hundred demonized soldiers, then the other party would not be so enthusiastic about releasing news to Chen Kai. If it was a few hundred demonized soldiers, Chen Kai would never believe that with the combat power of the more than 7,000 players of the Xianghu Brotherhood, he would not be able to eat it. Unless these hundreds of demonized soldiers were cavalry riding demonized warhorses, then the guild leader would not be willing to attack for fear of his own losses, after all, hundreds of sets of demonized soldiers' armor were a lot of money.

Therefore, Chen Kai could only choose to send troops to constantly search the surrounding area, and at the same time make sufficient preparations for battle while preventing the demonized soldiers from entering. Of course, if the other party came from the north of the city, Chen Kai would not be worried, because the defense capability of the north of Burkner Town was much stronger than that of the south. Since Chen Kai considered that there was a castle in the south in the past, there were more weapons in the north than in the southern city wall when building defensive weapons. Of course, these city defense weapons were non-standard weapons that were later made. If it is the first time to spend money on the standard equipment behind the prime minister, it is evenly arranged.

However, after purchasing some metal ingots from the Xianghu Brotherhood. Those non-standard city defense weapons have been strengthened to a certain extent, at least the crossbow arrows on the bed crossbow are no longer all-wooden crossbow arrows. At the very least, it is equipped with polished metal arrowheads and reinforced restraints.

In fact, when Chen Kai sounded the alarm, the demonized soldiers of the brigade appeared to the north of the town of Burkner. By the time the soldiers climbed the city wall, the former lord's bandit troops were already less than two kilometers away from Chen Kai's city. Chen Kai, who was holding the binoculars, could clearly see the huge demonized monitor lizards running at the front, with bodies more than three meters tall and heads like flying dragons, but they were still non-dragon creatures or could only be classified as lizards. But Chen Kai will never ignore their combat effectiveness, although the size of the monsters in the game is not necessarily completely proportional to the combat effectiveness, but at least in some cases he is really proportional. The size of the monster can not only give the monster a better vision, but also gain more power, and most importantly, it can easily hit the crushing effect.

Guan Yu, who possessed the Blade of the Divine Judgment, had dueled with Chen Kai no less than three times in the past half a month, but each time he was beaten by Chen Kai's wolf bèi and fled. Of course, that was a situation where both sides did not use sharp weapons, Guan Yu used an ordinary Daguan knife that did not open the edge, and Chen Kai was holding an ordinary mace. But as a result, the most severely injured at the end of the battle were Guan Yu, not only because Chen Kai had more physical attributes than Guan Yu, but more importantly, his terrifying height could easily cause a crushing effect of downward killing. is also blocking the opponent's attack, Chen Kai can do a completely injury-free block. However, it was difficult for Guan Yu to be completely uninjured in the face of Chen Kai's top-down attacks that relied on his height, and several times he was directly hammered into the ground by Chen Kai with a mace and smashed to the ground.

Guan Yu once asked Chen Kai to give up using heavy weapons, but Chen Kai replaced it with the spear, but this time the battle turned out to be even worse. Chen Kai, who attacks from the top down, can exert a stronger attack effect, even if Guan Yu's defensive measures are very good, in Chen Kai's opinion, it is full of flaws. Because Chen Kai has a taller body than the opponent, he can attack all the areas above and below Zhou's body. In the same way, those demonized monitor lizards that reach a height of three or four meters will definitely not be lower than Chen Kai in terms of combat power, and at the same time, the dynamic visual ability of the lizard can definitely capture any moving object. Therefore, it is absolutely a fool's dream to approach such a monster in motion. In Chen Kai's opinion, the result of approaching the other party at high speed was to be directly hit by the lizard's catapult-like tongue, and then eaten instantly, just like the flying moths in the animal world that Chen Kai saw when he was a child. …,

Just by observing through the binoculars, Chen Kai could roughly see that these demonized lizards had an attack method, but he didn't know if the other party had other special abilities. However, Chen Kai was not worried about this, if the other party was running to attack the castle in the south, maybe Chen Kai would be worried. But if the other party attacked his town, then Chen Kai was not worried at all, he believed that the two magic crystal cannons on the city wall would surprise those demonized soldiers. As long as these demonized soldiers dared to get within a kilometer of the city wall, Chen Kai would definitely surprise the other party, of course, he would prefer them to be close to five hundred meters before attacking.

The distance of two kilometers is not far away, but it is not close to it, perhaps in order to put enough pressure on Chen Kai and them, the closer they get to the city wall, the slower these demonized soldiers will travel. They tapped the shields in their hands and let out beastly roars. Unbeknownst to the former lord's troops, however, they had stepped into the abyss of death as they approached the walls. When these demonized soldiers were less than five hundred meters away from the city wall, Fei Yun, who had been aiming at them for a long time, decisively pressed the firing button of the magic crystal cannon. A red light shot through the demonized monitor lizard's head in an instant. The monster was pierced through its head without even making an attack, and its huge head emitted a strong smell of burning. The body of the demonized monitor lizard did not fall directly to the ground, but only collapsed after the third magic crystal cannon was fired, and its sluggish nervous system allowed it to still maintain its original speed and run wildly for more than ten meters.

When the red light emitted by the second magic crystal cannon began to bombard the formation of the demon soldiers, it was difficult for all the players present to believe that such a weapon was stored in the wizarding world, because most of the players had never seen the magic crystal cannon fire. Not every lord can afford a small magic crystal cannon, and Chen Kai can now be regarded as a VIP customer of the dwarven underground black market, as he has bought and sold millions of gold coins of things. Of course, they would prefer to buy the holy artifact weapons in Chen Kai's treasure house that were used as collections, especially the ancient tree scepter brought out from Khedira by unknown attributes. When Chen Kai took it out, the dwarven black market boss in the imperial capital instantly shouted out the high price of 10 million gold coins. But the other party kept silent about the origin of this thing. In the end, Chen Kai chose to put the item away, but he still sold some roots to the other party. These roots are very good at guiding the spirit. It is definitely the best material to make a zuò staff.

As for whether the other party will reveal that Chen Kai has such a thing, unless the underground black market does not want to continue to operate, then he can sell such information everywhere. This kind of behavior will definitely damage the credibility that has been built up by thousands of people in the dwarven underground black market, and once this credibility is destroyed, it will be more expensive to re-establish it. In fact, when Chen Kai heard the price, he had plans to sell it, but when the other party revealed the price, it was too sudden, and at the same time, he refused to tell the secret of the ancient tree scepter. So Chen Kai finally chose to keep the scepter, of course, even so, Chen Kai can be regarded as a VIP customer of the dwarven underground black market, so the magic crystal cannon shells distributed are definitely enough for Chen Kai to shoot thousands of shells luxuriously.

Each red magic crystal cannon ray has the penetrating power of a seventh-order spell, and the damage is also very terrifying. If the demonized monitor lizard was a kilometer away, the magic crystal cannon would have done damage rather than killing at most, but the opponent was less than five hundred meters away from the city wall, so in the end, its head was shot through. Red magical rays of light flickered in the phalanx of demonized soldiers, and as these rays of light emitted, the crossbow arrows were constantly stimulated, and the boulders thrown by the catapults were even more overwhelming. At this moment, the city defense of the town of Burkna showed its fangs, or the minions of the lion, and instantly slapped all the jackals who dared to provoke the lion away.

Although the demonized soldiers of the former lord were almost fearless creatures, they eventually collapsed in an instant under the attack of the extremely dense bed crossbow catapult. The demonized soldiers who commanded the captain level were taken care of, and their bodies fell to the ground before they could get close to the city walls. This time, the number of demonized soldiers attacking Chen Kai's city was much smaller than the previous time, but there were also more than two thousand, but half of them were lost before they could get close to the city wall.

When they approached the city wall, the two drawbridges on the city gate suddenly fell down, and then two teams of thousands of cavalry rushed down from the drawbridge in an instant. Although only a third of them are Aboriginal cavalry, and the rest are filled by the player, even this can easily exert the power of the cavalry charge. The cavalry that charged from top to bottom instantly smashed into the ranks of the half-crippled demonized soldiers, and those demonized soldiers who had managed to pass through the falling rocks and bed crossbows were trampled to death by horses' hooves or directly pierced on the cavalry spears before they could get close to the city wall, and there were several demonized soldiers who were split by Guan Yu's swords.
