If the high-level legendary-level undead were troublesome and headaches for Chen Kai's impact, then when Andre covered his arm that could never be restored and told the high-level of the Dawn Temple that the high-level of the Dawn Temple was the identity of the king-level undead, the impact on the high-level of the Dawn Temple was more than just shocking.

It had only been a day since the Temple Wyvern Knights had arrived in Burkna Town, but they had all been wiped out. Except for the Wyvern being brought back, not a single living dragon knight fled, and such a loss was difficult for the upper echelons of the temple to accept for a while. If it weren't for Andre's even having his arm cut off, and the severed arm was attached with an extremely terrifying death power, it is estimated that the upper echelons of the temple would have wondered if he had teamed up with the undead to trap and kill those dragon knights.

However, in the face of Andre, who lost an arm, it is estimated that no one will be willing to put forward this argument, not to mention Andrei's teacher, the Bright Star Saint who is stationed at the Demon Gate at the moment? Charles? Lapston recently became a Legendary Paladin Lord. Andre alone was enough to amaze the temple, and after only seven days of losing an arm, he recovered and regained one, an arm made of lightning. The most important thing is that he stepped into the realm of the Titled Sacred Domain with this arm, and completely forged the saint in front of his name.

It's just that even if he stepped into the realm of the Titled Sanctuary, Andre knew that he was still far from which Death Knight King was still far behind. Even his teacher, the legendary Paladin Lord Charles, could fall when he fought against him. Because the strength of the king-level legendary undead is almost comparable to that of a demigod in some cases, as long as he has the advantage of the field, then even a demigod may not be able to kill the opponent in a one-on-one situation. Especially when Andre experienced the terrifying domain power of the other party, he knew that if he couldn't find the opponent's true body before the opponent completely expanded the domain and then kill the opponent strongly, even the demigods could be consumed by life and death in the endless tide of undead.

For Andre, he has been thinking about the scene of the battle with the Death Knight King since he became a Titled Sanctuary, and the question he has never understood is why the high-level legendary Death Knight King can summon so many undead in the realm. Andre, who had lived through that battle, knew very well that the undead he had killed were definitely not phantoms, but real undead shells with entities. In that battle, Andre and the others killed at least thirty or forty thousand undead, such a huge number of undead is definitely not something that a high-level legendary death knight can create, and the most important thing is that even if he creates it, it is impossible to store it in the near realm.

When Andrei told the upper echelons of the temple of his thoughts. The first reaction of the bishops of the temple was shock, then unbelief, and finally deep fear. If the truth is really as Andre said, then the combat power of the Death Knight King can definitely be said to crush the legendary-level existence, and even the demigods may fall into the opponent's domain power without help. After all, the domain power of the king-level high legend is enough to trap a demigod for a long time, and if there are countless undead besieging a demigod during this time, then even a demigod may fall under such a siege. At the same time, the only demigod in the Temple of Dawn at this moment was born not long ago, not to mention that there are many old demigods Gedos in terms of strength, just at this moment, in order to fight against Ness, it is enough to make the Temple of Dawn jealous of this.

The one who sits on the Dawn Sacred Mountain basically can't leave the Holy Mountain at will. Therefore, there is no demigod powerhouse who can deal with this king-level death knight. Therefore, after receiving this news, the entire Dawn Capital and the Holy Mountain fell into silence. Also fell into silence was the old prime minister, Prime Minister Capello suddenly felt that the former God of Wealth Chen Kai was simply an out-and-out moldy star, since he arrived at the leadership of Hugodi, although all of them were making money for the empire, but they encountered no less unfortunate events. Now that even the high-level legendary-level undead kings have run out, he feels that if he lets Chen Kai stay in Berkner Town for a while, he will not even be able to appear as a demigod.

But it is impossible to temporarily replace Chen Kai, not to mention that he made so much money from Chen Kai and directly kicked people away, and his conscience couldn't get by. Even if the conscience is passable, at this moment, there is no high-ranking nobleman in the town of Burkner, or in the environment of the entire Hugodi Domain, who is willing to run to take over. At this moment, the Hugodi Territory has completely become a high-risk territory after Andre and them spread the news, and those well-informed noble children, such as Chen Kai's neighbors' families, have run to the imperial capital at this time to send a lot of wealth to the big fat Prime Minister Capello, wanting to let the children of their family leave that extremely dangerous area.

Prime Minister Capello was very embarrassed by such a request, but he didn't expect that the Emperor of the Hansting Empire, who had not spoken much, suddenly delivered a message to him. "People can leave, soldiers must stay! All lordships who leave the realm are revoked, and the realm is entrusted to the lords of the town of Berkna until a traveler lord pays enough money to give it to those traveler lords. ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Capello was speechless for a while, although he knew that the empire was very short of money now, but it was not enough to openly buy and sell territory. However, the words of His Majesty the Emperor made him very moved. In particular, the purchase price given by the emperor was even more convincing to the prime minister's admiration. Although Capelozai was skeptical about whether the current lands could be sold at a starting price, he finally couldn't help but agree to the emperor's plan.

Of course, the Hansting Emperor's plan is more than that, and when the other plan was thrown out, Prime Minister Capello felt that his past IQ was weak. Of course, at least he said this in front of His Majesty the Emperor, although he had already thought of this plan in his heart, but he never dared to propose it to the emperor, because this plan would cause disgust among some imperial nobles. It's just that when His Majesty the Emperor proposes it, Prime Minister Capello will choose to raise his hands and feet in approval. In this plan, the Drow who occupy the town of North Lake and the old city of Hugodi will be recruited and become the inhabitants of the territory of North Lake, and the only thing they need to do is to stop the demons and undead who come out of the old city of Hugodi, and if any, they will also need to send a force of at least 3,000 men to assist the lord of Berkna to defend the city.

In this way, not only did Chen Kai, the lord of Burkner Town, get the so-called reinforcements, but also prevented Chen Kai, who had obtained the temporary custody of those lords' complete territories, from taking the opportunity to become bigger. Similarly, players who defect to Drow are pardoned. But if they want to leave Northlake or Hugod, they must kill at least ten or more undead. This means that ten undead skulls must be surrendered before they can leave the Hugodi realm. This move forced the players of North Lake who had managed to get pardoned to be forced to engage in the battle against the undead, and Capelozai was the most in favor of this plan. Because the emperor of the Hansting Empire only said that he wanted ten undead skulls, but he didn't ask for any level of undead skulls. A high-level Death Knight skull can only count as one, and a low-level skeleton soldier skull can only count as one. In this way, many players will find this task very cheating.

However, most of the players in North Lake Town originally joined the Drow Elf faction with the only idea of being happy, but many players now feel depressed, especially those who want to rely on killing hostile players to gain experience. But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, until these players who have joined the Drow faction rebel again, it is impossible for them to kill each other to earn experience. Of course, the only one who was unhappy among the many players was probably Li Xiangrong, the former lord of Xianghu Town, because the Hansting Empire's punishment for the rebellious lords was very severe, and he did not get a pardon from the Hansting Empire, but was added a bounty.

Of course, as long as he doesn't leave Beihu Town, there will be absolutely no one who can kill and exchange his head for money, but at this moment, the former boss of the Xianghu Brotherhood is very depressed. Lost most of his men. There are only a few henchmen left under their hands to support the Xianghu Brotherhood, which is already at the bottom of the Zrow Elf player force in Beihu Town. The most important thing is that when the Drow elves receive a pardon from His Majesty, the Emperor of the Hansting Empire, even if it is the prince of the Drow elves, Ace? Luo Xin also chose to abandon Li Xiangrong in order to preserve his strength. Of course, in line with the friendly cooperation in the past, he still protected Li Xiangrong, at least so that he would not be attacked in Beihu Town.

When Chen Kai got the order from the imperial capital, the only feeling was that Lao Tzu was cheated again. Although it is said that the custody of several territories has made Chen Kai gain more rights, in fact, because of the custody of these territories, Chen Kai needs to invest more money. First of all, when these lords left, the residents of the territory would definitely have to pay Chen Kai for some food expenses. Because the lords of these territories sold everything they could sell when they left. Except for the soldiers' equipment that was not sold, the defenses on the city walls were not sold, and the rest of the food, including the food in the lord's palace and even the warehouse, was turned into gold coins in their pockets when they left.

Just to feed these hundreds of thousands of mouths, Chen Kai had to pay millions of gold coins, which made the already difficult financial situation of the town of Burkner, which was already in dire straits. Thankfully, most of the 100,000 inhabitants soon left, as they would have no problem leaving the territory after the loss of their lord. Under the threat of the undead, more than half of the residents immediately chose to leave with their families. At the same time, more residents chose to flee directly to the town of Burkna and the city of Kelda, which was being built by the dwarves in the north, and there were few residents who chose to stay in their original territory. Because after thinking about it again, Chen Kai chose to move all the soldiers in all the territories. At the same time, all the city defenses were concentrated in the town of Burkna, and the Hansting Empire's envoy to Berkna, or Prime Minister Capello's, chose to remain silent.

The walls of Burkna facing the Gem Abyss had been completely transformed into a fortress, hundreds of catapult beds and crossbows spread over low, simply constructed earthen walls, and in order to build them, Chen Kai used all the natives and players of the earth elemental mages that the entire Hugodi Territory could muster. In half a month, nearly ten kilometers of walls were built up to a height of three meters, and the road to the abyss of the gem was firmly blocked in the town of Burkna, layer by layer.

The construction of a wall of nearly 10 kilometers in half a month is an absolute miracle in reality, because the three-meter-high wall is completely made of earth, and it can be said that it takes a lot of time just to pile up this earth. But in the hands of thousands of earth elemental mages, as long as there are enough magic crystals, they can quickly complete it, especially those dwarven mages who are gradually recovering. Originally, the dwarves were not optimistic about Chen Kai's move. Because they felt that such a wall alone would not be able to withstand the attacks of the undead. But when they saw that the last line of defense was gradually completed. Now players are far more talented than dwarves when it comes to defending cities, at least when it comes to learning lessons.

Although the town of Burkner does not have any underground magma that can provide heat to build a steam cannon. There wasn't enough steel to build that luxury. However, after Chen Kai mobilized the defense facilities of several cities, he gathered nearly 600 catapults and 300 bed crossbows, and the dense catapults could project hundreds of tons of rocks in a single shot, which was enough to directly flatten an area with an area of at least 300 square meters. Remember, flattening is an attack that crushes the entire ground into a flat ground, which is sharper than washing the ground.

The ten-kilometer-long wall was not a monolith, but a continuous series of walls, each with only a few roads behind the next wall, and these roads were connected by wooden drawbridges, and under the drawbridges were trenches covered with thorns several meters deep. The continuous wall was covered with moats, as many as six or seven layers, and the combination of these walls and trenches could effectively prevent the enemy from rushing to the final wall at once. Most importantly, the main wall of the town of Berkner is several meters higher than the small wall below. This height is enough for the defensive weapons on the main wall to easily cover the trenches and walls below the wall, and once a certain section of the wall is breached, the defenders on the main wall can immediately know and use the weapons on the wall to suppress the area.

The catapults on the main city wall were not rocks from the low walls, but hundreds of barrels filled with gunpowder and crystal powder mixtures. The power of the explosion was comparable to that of a fireball unleashed by a sixth-order fire elemental mage, the effect of the newly improved magic crystal gunpowder created by the dwarven queen Vivichira after reaching the ground.

However, due to the lack of materials, at present, these hundreds of powder kegs are already the limit of what Burkner Town can take out, Chen Kai is not as wealthy as Lava City, and being able to take out such a family foundation is already the result of him emptying his pockets. Now the coffers in Burkner are almost ready for rats, and all the money has been turned into food supplies and weapons. Chen Kai didn't even have the money to buy snacks for himself. If he can't block the undead's attack this time, then he might really go bankrupt and sleep on the street.

It's just that the biggest problem for Chen Kai now is that there is a lack of enough strong men in Burkner Town, and the reinforcements from the Temple of Dawn have never arrived. After those paladin bishops were sent to the imperial capital to recuperate from their injuries, no new aid troops arrived, and at this moment, there were only two Sanctuary powerhouses in Burkna Town, one was Arno and the other was Drake, who had successfully advanced. If it was in other places, a territory with two Sacred Domain powerhouses was already very powerful, but now Chen Kai needed to face a high-level legendary-level undead led by a capital army, even if Arno and Drake were tied together, it would not be enough for the other party to slash with a sword.

Look at the low walls that have been reinforced little by little, and the spikes that stand up in the trenches that are several meters deep. Chen Kai's mood is still difficult to calm down. Because in his mind, this qiē is all one word, and it is all money! "One meter of the city wall costs three hundred gold coins, and now at least ten kilometers have been repaired for ten thousand meters, a full three million gold coins, and one meter of trench needs ten gold coins to arrange ground thorns, and now at least five thousand meters of trenches have been arranged, then it is fifty thousand gold coins. Damn Lao Tzu's money is gone again! Chen Kai counted with his fingers, and the more he calculated, the poorer he became, and after digging out his pocket, he was sad to find that there were only fifty copper coins left in his money bag that should have been very full. It's almost as poor as when I first came to this game world.

Of course, the cost of 300 one-meter walls is absolutely not watery. Because these walls are still being reinforced, each reinforcement takes dozens of minutes of a player mage's time. Mana potions plus the consumption of other magic crystals. The cost of 300 gold coins is definitely not expensive, because these walls are nearly three meters thick.

"I wonder how long the Gem Abyss can delay those undead?" After inspecting the last wall, Chen Kai looked at the dark gem abyss in the distance and sighed, it was already a month and a half after Gavalon's fall. After the level climbed to the seventy-first level, Chen Kai's experience growth came to a standstill, and the daily lord tasks were a drop in the bucket for Chen Kai's level growth. In fact, if it weren't for the experience gained from the underground world battles, it would have been a dream for him to climb to level 71.

As Chen Kai sighed, a huge rock in the pitch-black underground world was completely shattered under the attack of a dragon spear. Death Knight's Gavaron? Cook's teardrop-stained face slowly appeared in the underground of the gem abyss, and slowly raised his weeping face 'Gavaron' body and left respectfully to the side, and the figure of Arthur, the king of the Death Knight, slowly walked out of the dark passage.

"Is this the road to the ground?" There was not a hint of a smile on Arthur's face, and after he spoke, the Bone Demon slowly appeared with a huge army. (To be continued.)
