Standing in the defensive fortress, Chen Kai can be said to be the first time to enter this defensive castle that he spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins to repair, as an important pass to block the entrance and exit of the Great Rift Valley, this castle has a huge door. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of the wèn Aishang Novel Network) The restoration of the gate alone cost tens of thousands of gold coins to Chen Kai, and this is still a case where the materials do not need him to pay.

This is because the gate is twenty-five meters high, which is equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. In fact, if you calculate the height of the gate, the gate of this defensive castle is larger than Chen Kai's town gate. Behind the gate is not a direct road into the territory, but a long path through the castle. The road could accommodate three carriages running in parallel, and even more so for a row of nine knights to charge. It can be said that it is quite wide, but in the wide, if it is not the merchant but the enemy who enters it, then it is also a sad place for these enemies.

Because the high rock walls on both sides are covered with all kinds of crossbow machines, if the enemies attacking the castle are lucky enough to break through the gate, then this 200-meter-long straight passage will be a bloody corridor for many enemies. However, before the battle began, most players entered the Great Rift Valley through the guò road, and before Chen Kai repaired the castle, although the gate was preserved in Zài, there was no such road in the rear. There is no wall more than 20 meters high on both sides, but a hill path. Under the powerful construction spell of the Hansting Empire's civil construction mage group, the original hill became the second half of the current castle. There is not only a market area, but also a residential area.

In the absence of war, the castle would be the equivalent of an acropolis in the town of Burkner, a vital gateway to the northern territories stuck in the Great Rift Valley. Of course, now this castle has no lord's mansion, only a garrison's management office, which is where Chen Kai is staying now. Most players who choose to make their home in Burkner Town are more likely to rent their house in a residence behind the castle. It's just that the periphery is full of small fields and farmhouses of farmers, and only those players who aspire to be pastoral farmers in the game will spend a lot of money to rent such a house from Chen Kai and rent some land by the way. However, more players are choosing to rent a house close to the market, preferably with a shop, because then they can start a small business. The bakeries, restaurants, inns, and so on in the castle are all run by the player himself. Although the business is not very good, it is a small income for some players who live in the profession every day.

Of course, more players are optimistic about the development prospects of this trade route in the future, unless a god breaks through the mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles on both sides of the Great Rift Valley. Open a road to the Southern Territories. Otherwise, the trade route of the Rift Valley is one of the best trade routes to the Northern Territories, and of course you can choose to sail north along the coastline, but the sea of the Etian world is far more terrifying than the ground. In addition to the sea monsters, the hostile races of the sea are the biggest culprits causing shipwrecks. Only the kind of giant ships that are more than 100 meters old would dare to sail on this ferocious sea. And only or only dare to sail along the coastline. For the human beings on the sea and land, even Hansting, who has the most powerful ocean fleet on the mainland, does not dare to send a fleet into the deep sea, because once it leaves the land and is more than 500 kilometers away, it will enter the most dangerous sea area. The only three people who survived in the end, two of them went crazy. One turned into an idiot, and this was the end of the fleet of tens of thousands. Even the most proficient warlock in psychic spells could not know a single trace of the sea from the minds of these three men, and the result of forcible probing was that one of the crazy soldiers had his brain exploding like a watermelon.

Building a ship that can sail on such seas costs not much less than building a knighthood, and even more than a lordship. Although the Hansting Empire was strong, it had not had a fleet of any size since the loss of that fleet, and although its shipping was still relatively developed, there were very few ships sailing on the sea, and fishing boats would not sail five kilometers offshore to fish. Only large fishing boats dare to sail ten kilometers offshore to fish, while Hansting's fleet is at most cruising within 100 kilometers of the sea as fishermen. The once huge fleet is now only a fisherman's business, and this kind of behavior is expected to be dissatisfied with a large number of naval soldiers in the real world. But in the game it's true. The ocean in the game is more dangerous than it is in reality. It is so dangerous that even if the trade routes are blocked, few people are willing to use guò sea transport for commercial trade. Because even if the trade route is blocked by bad luck, at least your goods are still there, but even if you sail along the coastline above the sea, there is a danger that the ship will capsize. You'll never know when the cargo ship under your feet will be entangled in sea monsters, and when you'll be attacked by sudden monsters.

Therefore, Chen Kai did not have to worry that those merchants would take a different route after opening up the trade route, unless they were willing to take a detour to the extremely dangerous Great Wasteland or run to the more dangerous sea. It's just that for now, most merchants can really only choose to trade through the Great Wasteland, although the Great Wasteland is not necessarily much safer than the Great Rift Valley.

Chen Kai sat quietly in the position of the garrison. The town of Burkner does not yet have a proper garrison officer, but two garrison adjutants. Those were the two best people selected by Chen Kai out of more than 3,000 soldiers. Cheng Dù, who had reached the rank of seventh-order warrior in less than half a month after learning Dou Qi, and was an elite-level soldier himself. Now at the rank of Commander. Therefore, Chen Kai asked him to serve as the garrison lieutenant of this castle, and to preside over the affairs of the entire castle while Chen Kai was away. This soldier named Hazimoth and another soldier named Elgar were the strongest of the more than 3,000 soldiers, and the soldier named Elgar was the lieutenant of the garrison of the town of Burkna, who rotated his position with Hazimoth every three months.

Of course, at present, the soldier who is still on duty in this castle that has not yet been named is Hazimoth, although he asked them to call himself the garrison officer in front of his subordinates, but he did not dare to do so in front of Chen Kai. Because he knew that Chen Kai could remove him at any time, because Chen Kai was the lord of the entire town of Burkna, and the lord would always be the most powerful person in the eyes of the aborigines. At the same time, Hazimoth was even more afraid of Chen Kai's fist, he was the one who was beaten twice by Chen Kai with a stick.

"Lord Baron! Here's today's mission receipt! But there was no news like yesterday, but those travelers had killed a lot of monsters, and their heads were piled up in the back warehouse after they had been examined! Her Excellency Ho Liwen is there to test those heads! Hazimoth shuddered at the thought of He Liwen pinching her hands to examine the disgusting monsters' heads, and he didn't want to think of the huge pot outside the storeroom, which was tumbling with monsters' heads and all kinds of strange materials. When I think of that terrible pot of soup. Hazimoth's stomach couldn't help but roll.

"Got it! You go to the high-speed Figo mage and ask him to pay attention to the situation around him! Forget it, it's better to inform Sue! He knows what to do! Chen Kai rubbed his head and looked at the stack of task receipts in front of him. It took him a morning to read the task receipts that had accumulated earlier, not because he was diligent in government affairs, but because he always felt that something was not quite right. Because according to what he learned, the surrounding territories had been harassed by the former lord's forces at least three or four times a month. Even when the civil mages were stationed in the town of Burkna, they were harassed several times. But Chen Kai has been stationed in Berkner Town for more than half a month. But he didn't see the troops of the former lord who played the role of horse thieves once, which made him very strange. In fact, Chen Kai also knew very well that it would be a fool's dream for players to find out about those former lords' troops, because they would never want to meet those guys.

But for Chen Kai, those rats hiding in the dark are what he is most worried about, according to the information he gathered, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand troops of those former lords hiding in the underground world of the Great Rift Valley. There were three or four thousand cavalry alone, and all of them were the most elite black-armored cavalry of Hu Gedi at the beginning, that is, the owners of those armors that Chen Kai found in the underground warehouse. It's just that the black-armored cavalry that Chen Kai has formed now can only be regarded as an infantry on a war horse. At least most of the cavalry were like this, only the first three hundred or so cavalry looked a little, and the rest of the people rode on war horses, no matter how they looked like a group of horse monkeys. Of course, there are still many cavalry among them, because the earl deployed Chen Kai are all veterans, and although there are few cavalry among the veterans, there are many who have ridden horses. It's just that riding a horse and cavalry are two different concepts, because riding a horse does not mean that you can wield a weapon on a warhorse, and it does not mean that you can use a cavalry spear. Players are special in that they can take a skill or two or even years to master in a few weeks or even days, because the player has a special skill experience system, as long as they practice skills or experience, they can quickly master that skill or technique.

For example, slashing with weapons. It takes a soldier a week to master the correct way to slash. It takes a week or two for a slightly clumsier one, but it takes ten minutes for the player to barely exert force, and a day for a player to wield a long knife and chop wood. If you practice chopping with a long knife for a week, you can easily chop firewood for a living, and the texture of the chopping firewood is clear and the size is the same. But it takes at least three months for the Aboriginal soldiers to do this, and they have to be very talented. Therefore, it is definitely the most cost-effective for the player to be a soldier, but the player can be a soldier, but it certainly cannot be compared to the veteran of the Native soldiers. Even though Native veterans can't match the player's combat skills, they live a long life. After wearing the right armor, you can become a qualified fighter, but you need a certain amount of training, and the aboriginal soldiers will be more qualified by the player. Because the relative player does not follow the discipline. The aboriginal soldiers were much more disciplined, at least they didn't dare to disobey Chen Kai's orders. If Chen Kai gives an order to the player. Unless those players rely on Chen Kai for food, they will listen at most but definitely not necessarily do it.

The player will put their own interests above Chen Kai's interests, and those aboriginal soldiers will value Chen Kai's interests above their own. Because they knew that even if their interests were damaged, as long as Chen Kai was still a qualified lord, and as long as he still hoped that the civilians in the territory would help him, then he would have to pay money to replace those who had suffered losses. This is the most simple standard for a good lord among the natives, although most lords are not qualified in the eyes of some commoners. Even if these lords could be qualified, they would not be able to, because there was only one lord in an empire who could be qualified, and that was the Emperor Xià. Chen Kai has many shortcomings, but at least in some ways he is much better than those very unqualified leaders, that is, he treats his soldiers with enough favor.

However, there is a limit to this kind of favor, after all, too much kindness to the soldier will make the soldier arrogant. Of course, at present, Chen Kai's treatment has not exceeded the limit, after all, the entire Berkner Town has only just been established, even if Chen Kai wants to treat them favorably, there are not enough conditions. The most important thing is that at present, there is basically not much tax revenue in the whole city, and Chen Kai is basically paying money to maintain the operation of the city. Because of this, Chen Kai was very afraid of being attacked. Because his wealth can't withstand the baptism of any war, it is estimated that he will become a poor egg after a small and medium-sized battle.

It's just that sometimes things don't change because of Chen Kai's thoughts, when he checks the mission receipts of those players one by one. In the underground of the Great Rift Valley, three kilometers from the castle, a group of soldiers in armor were slowly assembling. If you look at it yourself, you will see that the bodies of these soldiers are shrouded in pitch-black armor, but their eyes glow blood-red, and their throats constantly let out a low roar like that of a wild beast. These are the forces of the former lord Hugodi, a group of all-demonized soldiers, a group of poor soldiers who have been transformed into demonized humans.

"The kids are hungry! When you are hungry, draw your weapons and rob them, and kill all you see for food. Burn everything we see and snatch back what we have lost!! "It was the former lord of Hugodi who roared, but now this lord looked very strange, if he really wanted to be a demon more than a man. Completely fused with the bloodline of the Purgatory Demon, he can no longer be considered a human being, and since he is fully fused, he has not lost his mind. Only to become more bloodthirsty and irritable. The power of the demonic bloodline makes him extremely murderous, and at the same time has a special need for human flesh and blood, but he can't eat human souls like those real purgatory demons. He only absorbed the remnants of the soul power from the human corpses, but even in this way, he became more powerful than before in the continuous killing. It's just that because of this, it is becoming more and more difficult for him to survive on the ground, knowing that the pursuit force sent by the Imperial Family has been looking for his whereabouts, so this poor lord will not easily get out of the underground world until he becomes strong enough.

"Roar!!" With a roar like a beast, countless underground creatures trembling throughout the underground passage watched as groups of demonized soldiers walked past with neat steps. The thorny ground lizard was just about to escape, but a spear stabbed it in the back. Then a mouth with fangs bit off its head. This is a knight in the armor of a general. He was once the most glorious cavalry commander in the whole of Hugodi, and in the past he had a happy family, but now he is a man and a ghost. It's just that he has no memory of the past, because he has been completely demonized and turned into a high-level demonic monster who only knows how to obey the orders of Lord Hugodi. After the demonization, the old man's beard turned from white to black, and his body changed from thin to strong, and the muscles wrapped in scales held up the armor as if it would open at any moment. But he was trapped underground, just like Lord Hugodi, because he was also one of the ones hunted by the Imperial Royal's pursuers. Because he was once the commander of the most powerful cavalry regiment in Hugodi.

So this time he went out to loot without the captain's share, he could only rely on something like a thorny ground lizard to fill the hunger in his stomach. Fill that need for flesh and blood. But soon his soldiers will bring them plenty of flesh and blood, just as they did some time ago. Delicious fresh flesh and blood, exuding a rich soul of the body of a professional.

When this demonized army with an evil aura all over its body rushed out of the crypt, a team of players happened to be chasing an injured seventh-order demon on the side, and their eyes began to turn red when they saw that a thousand gold coins were about to arrive. It's just that they soon noticed that even redder eyes appeared on the other side, and then they saw countless black-armored soldiers appear in front of them, and then there was no more. By the time these players hung up and posted the news to the forum set up by Fei Yun to receive the 1,000 bounty, the black-armored soldiers had already eaten all the dead players' corpses. Fresh flesh stimulated their killing**, and the black armor stained with red plasma shone with an extremely eerie glow in the sunlight.

Chen Kai got the news almost within half a minute of Fei Yun seeing the post, and when he rushed out of the security station and commanded Hazimoth to ring the alarm, hundreds of unlucky players had already turned into food in the stomachs of demonized soldiers. Some players who were fighting monsters and leveling up not far away didn't react at first when they heard the bell, and when they did, they immediately rushed towards the castle. Those who were lucky enough to escape into the castle before the gate closed, and those who were unlucky were chased towards the castle by the black-armored soldiers.

Chen Kai was very glad that he had spent a huge amount of money to get those civil mages to level all the caves and crypts that could be found in the territory. If it weren't for this, Chen Kai estimated that the place where these black-armored soldiers appeared was not outside the castle, but inside his territory. At the thought of losing the protection of the castle and confronting such a demonized soldier on the plains, Chen Kai couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness.

However, when he saw the system message, he couldn't help but scold, because the content of the system message to Lord Chen Kai was like this: "There is a gang of robbers who are preparing to ransack your territory, please pay attention!" But comparing the situation in front of him, Chen Kai almost wanted to raise his middle finger towards the system and scold your sister. Because there was a gang of robbers in front of them, and the equipment alone was not something that the robbers could have. (To be continued......).
