24o The Scepter of the Earth - Escape (II)

Generally speaking, heavy cavalry have a very poor ability to run at length due to the heavy armor they bear, and if they are fully armored, a heavy cavalry can only charge two or three times at most. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info although the burden power of the war horse and the strength of the rider itself in the game are different from reality, but it cannot overturn the iron law that heavy cavalry cannot continue to gallop.

Therefore, after running for nearly half an hour without sparing horsepower, Chen Kai and the others finally got rid of the thousands of chasing heavy cavalry behind. It's just that after this half-hour gallop, all the war horses showed an extreme feeling of tiredness, and at the same time, Chen Kai, who was riding on the war horses, was also quite tired.

After all, when the war horse was galloping high, Chen Kai and the others had to use their bodies to adapt to the shaking of the war horse, so as not to be thrown off the war horse. This action is not very tiring when the war horse is jogging, but when the war horse gallops wildly, it does consume the body.

So when the cavalry behind them began to disappear from view, Chen Kai and the others began to constantly reduce the degree of the war horse, wanting to keep themselves in a situation where the war horse was gradually recovering. Although the effect of this is much slower than lying on the ground, it is better than the body falling continuously.

Watching the body slowly rise under the effect of the body elixir, Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief. Although this was the second bottle of body elì he had poured for such a long time, at this moment, Chen Kai's own body was about to be lowered to the red zone. However, compared to others, Chen Kai is undoubtedly much better, at least he will not lie on the back of a horse and pant as roughly.

At this moment, the road that Chen Kai and his people are running on is a branch line called the Golden Passage, which serves as an important passage connecting the golden plain in the north, that is, the densely populated area, the great wilderness in the southwest and the city-state area in the southeast. Hugodi's position is very important and very unimportant, because it is at the end of the lifeblood of this empire, almost like holding a golden rice bowl. It doesn't matter because Hugodi's so-called end has only just been attached to the edge of this channel, after all, the empire will not completely put an important economic lifeline in the hands of a nobleman.

So Hu Godi said that he was holding a golden rice bowl, but in fact his hand was still a little far from the rice bowl. Therefore, no matter that generation of Hugodi lords, they wanted to completely control this trade route in their hands, even if they secretly opposed the emperor. So in fact there was a lot of slits between the lords of Hugodi and the surrounding cities, and wars often broke out every once in a while.

At least after the player enters the game, even if the player comes to Hugodi to do business or take advantage of the convenience of the golden channel to do some business, he will be troubled by the forces of the city lord of Hugodi, and the city lord of Hugodi has a very poor impression among players.

Of course, this didn't really mean much to Chen Kai and his party, because they wanted a hearty and delicious meal and a clean and soft bed now. However, the prerequisite for enjoying this qiē is that they can successfully leave the city-state of Hugodi and then pass through the golden passage of Guò to the next city.

Although the Golden Passage is a prosperous trade route, in fact, the more prosperous the trade route, the more likely it is that there will be robbers. After all, the world in the game is not a harmonious and stable Celestial Empire in reality, but a medieval high-magic world full of battles. Therefore, in addition to being filled with a large number of business opportunities, the Golden Passage is also full of countless horse thieves who rob homes and houses. At the same time, some horse thieves are also official thieves, that is, horse thieves who are controlled by some city-state lords to deal with things like killing people and destroying mouths for the lords.

Although there are not many such horse thieves, they are actually not few. At least there are no less than twenty horse thieves secretly involved with Lord Hugodi, and each team has around a hundred people. Therefore, when the player starts to fight the idea of the city-state of Hugodi, these horse thieves who wander outside to act for the host of Hugodi are also taken care of by the player. By exterminating these wandering horse thieves, players gain a lot of feats and benefits.

However, no matter how much the player cleans up, they will not be able to completely eliminate all the horse thieves entrenched in this wilderness, after all, horse thieves are not only the killers of the lord of Hugodi and the helpers of wealth, but also his eyes to observe his surroundings. Therefore, no matter how many horse thieves the player kills, the Lord of Hugodi will do his best to replenish and strengthen these horse thieves, making them more difficult to deal with and full of combat effectiveness.

When Chen Kai and the others finally asked those heavy cavalry to chase after them, in order to capture the fleeing Chen Kai and his party, the horse thieves who were controlled by the city lord quickly notified all the horse thieves around who were under the control of the city lord. These horse thieves, who are usually scattered in various areas of Hugodi and the Golden Passage, immediately began to act after receiving the spell summons, their first goal was to strangle the players who had escaped, and the second goal was to capture or kill the knights of Berkner Castle, Kaichen? Saint? Lapston gets a space button on him.

Of course, this is not good news for Chen Kai, but at least in the short term, he does not have to worry about being chased by horse thieves, after all, no matter how powerful Hu Godi's city lord is, he will not be able to spread horse thieves all over the entire Golden Passage. Otherwise, just one crime of cutting off the trade route would be enough for the emperor of the empire to send a regular army to raze him completely, after all, the golden passage is the money bag of the empire, and the gold coins earned from this trade route are one of the important guarantees for maintaining the various expenditures of the entire Hansting Empire.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Chen Kai and his group of dozens of people can also enjoy the comfortable activities of horseback riding and jogging, of course, if the people on horseback can sit straighter, the situation will be even better. After all, one by one is lying on the same panting war horse like a dead dog lying down, and the whole image is as ugly as it is.

After continuing to gallop for nearly half an hour, all the horses had begun to foam at the mouth and could not continue to move forward. They are so tired that if you force them to run, it is estimated that they will immediately die violently, that is, run to death. After all, these war horses are not Chen Kai's, but snatched from those unlucky cavalry, and the system will not force the war horses with insufficient body to take back the pet space.

Fortunately, Chen Kai's own war horses had recovered a little after resting for an hour, and they could do a simple jog. Of course, if you want to let them run fast, it is estimated that they will either die immediately or be recalled to the pet badge again.

But before that, Chen Kai and the others had to find a place to shelter from the rain that was about to fall, and at the same time take a good rest. Of course, the location must be secure enough and at the same time secluded enough. After all, they had only shaken off the heavy cavalry for an hour, and although they had not seen any heavy cavalry or cavalry with their armor off in this hour, the group still did not dare to relax. After all, once they were caught up, it was estimated that the group that was so inadequate would not even be able to run away again.

Under the leadership of the wandering knights who were familiar with the environment, Chen Kai and the three players who fled behind them slowly walked into a mountain forest. Through Guò's self-introduction when he fled, Chen Kai knew the names of the three players, one of the two knights was named Hulans, the other was called Fei Yuan, and the earth elemental mage was called Zodiac. Originally, the group of four people was a student player in the same dormitory, but unfortunately another unlucky water elemental mage named Wang Qiang ran to stay with the priest in order to pick up girls. As a result, it was very tragic that he was directly strung into a sugar gourd at the moment of being attacked, and was sent back to the Hades Temple along with the *** he wanted to soak.

These four student players wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to earn some tuition in the game, but unfortunately they were killed like this just after joining a large-scale operation that made a little money. Let the four people who were originally ambitious and think they were mixing well lost their minds all of a sudden, no, it's not four people, it's three, and the other one has now gone offline to take care of Xiao mm, who was frightened by death. Of course, the other three people scoffed at this, after all, how could a player who had been in the game for so long be frightened by a single death, it must be just an excuse for Wang Qiang's tryst.

Therefore, there was nowhere to go for the time being, and at the same time, the three people who felt that it was unreliable and unsafe to flee in all directions continued to follow Chen Kai and them to escape. Of course, they mainly went to the war horses that Fei Yun lent, after all, the three of them had not mixed in the society, so they were not so cheeky and borrowed things and ran directly. But the most important thing is that they think that Chen Kai and the equipment on them are very good, so they guess whether Chen Kai is a big guild player or a professional player, with the idea of wanting to follow Chen Kai and them for a while, the three students followed Chen Kai and them behind them as soon as their heads were hot.

However, they soon realized that they had done nothing wrong with this behavior, because in their eyes, Chen Kai was too rich. Judging from the elixir of the recovery of the body alone, what Chen Kai and the others drank was a bottle of body medicine with a gold coin, not a body medicine of dozens of silver coins. Of course, Chen Kai also has a more expensive ointment, but the side effects of this ointment made by He Liwen are too strong, even with Chen Kai's tenacious stomach, he can't stand the torture of this ointment.

But even so, for the three Hulansi who invest at most one or two yuan in the game every day, and even if they earn a gold coin, they have to mix it in half to spend, Chen Kai and they really belong to the rich people. In particular, the two battle knights of the Dusk Temple, Hu Lansi and Fei Yuan, were drooling over the equipment on Chen Kai and several of their knights almost all the time.

Chen Kai naturally knew what the ticking sound behind him was, and Chen Kai frowned when he looked at the equipment of the two poor student knights. Because they are really poor, if it weren't for a few wandering knights on the side as foils, it is estimated that Chen Kai would have included them in the ranks of beggars. Of course, now that they had put on the armor that had been stripped from the Hugodi cavalry, Hurans and the others had finally gotten rid of the embarrassment of being dressed in leather armor.

Of course, it doesn't matter if there is armor or not for the zodiac, after all, he is a pure mage. That is, the kind of old standard mage who only adds spirit and intelligence, so his strength is extremely poor, and he can almost only wear cloth robes. Of course, it's not that he can't wear armor, but he hasn't thought about wearing armor. After all, the metal equipment in the city where they were located was extremely expensive, and the leather armor was very cheap, but the leather armor was not durable and the defense ability was low.

However, what Huang Dao wants to do most at the moment is to find a few spellcasters in Chen Kai's team to learn about the knowledge of professional player spellcasters, after all, when he started to get in touch with this game, a long-range attack in the game is a long-range attack in the past, and even a mage with a fixed turret has to master so many things in this game. Especially when he came into contact with the earth stabbing technique, the requirements for the plasticity of spells made this Huang Dao, who had never paid much attention to the subject of spatial composition, have to soak in the library every day to find relevant knowledge.

Now he can stab from all different directions, so it can be said that as long as the soil in the range of his spell is within his range of the ground thorn, and it also has very sharp barbs. The lethality is even more than the ordinary ground stabbing technique, which belongs to the mutant ground stabbing technique.

But until the wandering knight took Chen Kai and them to a small cave in the middle of the mountain, Huang Dao did not find a chance to ask Xu Fei and them about spells.

Looking at the bleak environment around him and the messy items, Chen Kai suddenly had a feeling of entering a bandit's den. Combined with the self-introduction of those wandering knights and the player's understanding of the wandering knights, Chen Kai estimated that this cave should be the place where these dozen knights used to stay, that is, where they fell into the grass and hid when they robbed the rich and helped the poor.

Fei Yun dragged his tired body to carefully inspect the surrounding environment, and then set up more than a dozen complex traps at the entrance and exit before returning to the small cave with confidence. At this time, the sky outside has begun to be windy, a large number of dead grass and leaves are swept up by the wind and blown into the sky, and at the same time, a drop of rain the size of a bean begins to fall slowly from the dark sky, and soon evolves into a rain waterfall connecting heaven and earth.

Looking at the huge white thunder and lightning that kept shining in the sky in the distance, Fei Yun shook the cloak on his body and shook off the large water droplets to the ground, and then slowly took off the wet clothes on his body and replaced them with a dry leather armor. Feeling the slowly rising temperature in the small cave, Fei Yun slowly breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Chen Kai's side and said.

"The outside of the head is all arranged," Fei Yun said this sentence softly, sat next to Chen Kai and took a small bowl of warm broth, this kind of broth made by boiling directly with water, minced meat and various seasonings, although the taste is not particularly good, but it is fast enough, and it is also of great help to the body. At least the hungry stomach slowly regained consciousness after being exposed to the warm broth, and it was not so uncomfortable.

After listening to Fei Yun's words, Chen Kai nodded slightly, of course, he also hugged several wandering knights with an apologetic expression, after all, this is their territory. According to Fei Yun's approach, it was obvious that he did not trust the wandering knights, but the wandering knights did not say anything, after all, they also knew that their reputation was not very good.

After obtaining the understanding of several wandering knights, Chen Kai immediately set his sights on the map in his hand, which was an overall map of the Golden Passage. Including the names of a dozen city-states around the passage, as well as the extent of each area, and so on. It can be said that from the golden trade route on the border of Hugodi that connected to the Golden Passage, the whole road came from an area densely populated by the city-state. Almost every 100 kilometers, two or three city-states occupied by Guò were connected, and although these city-states did not dare to set up posts on the roads, there was sometimes a slight friction over the competition for merchants and profits.

Of course, in addition to these many horse thieves entrenched in the golden channel, Chen Kai is the most headache, after all, the location of the entire golden trade route is a relatively remote area. In order to prevent the city-states from occupying or even controlling the trade routes, the empire made great efforts to clean up any market towns that appeared on the trade routes. Therefore, this also leads to the fact that there is hardly a single large town in the entire trade route from beginning to end, and there are only a dozen or so small market towns representing the various city-state regions.

The number of troops stationed in the small market town is naturally small, so the horse thieves will fly under this soil. Even if the empire spends a lot of effort every year, it can't be completely wiped out, because the masters of some horse thieves are the city lords of a certain region.

This can already be said to be a semi-public fact, after all, the emperor doesn't care about things, but the senate stewards are fighting for power and profit for things in the imperial capital. If it weren't for the Temple of Dawn, the guardian of the Hansting royal family, who had been maintaining the majesty of the royal family and the gods, it is estimated that there would have been a lot of civil war in the entire Hansting.

Of course, this information is summarized by the player based on what he knows at this stage, after all, the owner of any city-state will not openly oppose the imperial family unless he is kicked in the head by a donkey. Even the city lord of Hugodi, who is a rebel in the eyes of the player, is still a good nobleman who respects the royal family in the eyes of the empire.

After carefully checking the map, Chen Kai, who had a little pain in his brain, slowly stood up, walked past the wandering knights who were lying in the cave, and slowly walked to the entrance of the cave. In the dim flames, the rain was still pouring down in the dark night sky outside the cave. From the information he learned on the Internet, Chen Kai knew that this time the more than 5,000 cavalry of Hu Gedi sent nearly 12,000 players back to their hometown, of which nearly 7,000 were directly hung in the hands of the cavalry, and the remaining 5,000 were caused by the horse thieves who were controlled by the lord of Hu Gedi City.

Thinking that he would encounter those horse thieves when he left, Chen Kai felt more and more that his task was very difficult. But he couldn't throw this hot potato out, so he could only look at the dark cave and sigh depressedly.
