A few days later, it was still Chen Kai in the city lord's mansion in Burkna Town. Although Chen Kai still brought back a lot of gold coins from the imperial capital, as the expenses continued to increase, the gold coins in his pocket continued to decrease. If it weren't for the sale of some militia equipment and the excavation of some scrap items in the old city of Hugodi to sell, it is estimated that Chen Kai would find that his money bag would have dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and of course it is also drying up very quickly now.

Although Chen Kai did not bring back a large number of vegetables and fruits from the imperial capital, he did bring back some special spell seeds. These seeds, regardless of the small number, add up to more than 10,000 seeds, but each one is worth anywhere from one gold coin to fifty gold coins. Chen Kai spent a full 100,000 gold coins on these seeds alone, but these seeds infused with natural spell energy could quickly sprout and grow on the ground, and then become edible vegetables or fruit trees in a short period of time.

Of course, vegetables are better, and the fertilizer absorption is not too excessive, but if the fruit trees lack fertilizer, then the land that Chen Kai uses to grow these fruit trees will become extremely barren soil after the fruit trees grow, and the fruit trees will then die due to lack of nutrients. So buying seeds or something is actually a small head, and what makes Chen Kai feel most depressed is the fertilizer he bought, and the three small pockets of fertilizer cost him nearly 200,000 gold coins.

Looking at the appearance of the druid profiteer who sold these fertilizers, if it weren't for the territory, Chen Kai would definitely stuff this strange-smelling fertilizer directly into the other party's mouth. Of course, the premise is that he can beat the other party, although Chen Kai can't see the level of the druid who stayed in the imperial capital, but the aura that he exudes is very similar to that of the Altinis boss Cenarius makes Chen Kai dare not move. Even though Xuehaifeng, who was carrying a heavy sword, was usually very arrogant because of his fighting spirit, he didn't even dare to fart in front of this druid like an old peasant, and his mood was as calm as a stone. In this place, you don't have to bargain with the other party, it is estimated that after staying for a long time, it will become like wood. Of course, this realm of natural peace can only be mastered by the legendary Grand Druids, and this small forest, which is considered an alien existence in the imperial capital of the Hanster Empire, is almost no different from the tropical rainforest.

Immersed in the natural rain spell unleashed by the Great Druids for a long time, this area has become a large garden for the entire Xijing, where there are basically no pure stone roads, all meadow roads, and this area is a full block of kilometers of man-made buildings, there are only a few artificial buildings. And most of them are druids' residences. This is the concentration of druids in the entire northern Hansting, and most of the high druids are concentrated here, but now they are all busy working on the Great Plains of Gold. So Chen Kai only saw a few druid apprentices, and some of them were rookie players. However, in addition to buying these seeds and fertilizers, Chen Kai did not invite a single druid to the territory, after all, there were actually many druids in the territory. As the location of Altinis, a sacred place for the Lady of Nature, there are not many druid players active in Hugodi, and even at the peak, one out of ten players is a druid.

Of course, there are a lot fewer of them now. It's only half of what it used to be, and it's not even half, but that's how it is, there are still hundreds of druids and three native druids hanging out in Burknertown. It's just that neither the player nor the aborigines are natural druids, but claws or birds of prey, if not, why would Chen Kai spend a lot of money to go to the imperial capital to buy seeds and fertilizers. Natural druids are farmers in the eyes of players, and most of the natural druids in the game are based on healing natural damage, and even healing techniques are based on wound healing. Natural druids' healing spells are too poor. In addition, there is basically no attack power, so most players don't like this class, so naturally druids are extremely rare among players. …,

However, Chen Kai hopes that there will be more natural druids, even if druids of other professions can also use natural spells to accelerate plant growth, but the effect is definitely not as powerful as natural druids. At least Chen Kai had no way to let those druid-made zuò spell seeds, so he could only spend money to go to the imperial capital to buy them. Fortunately, the seeds are very powerful, especially if the trees are fully developed in a week with the help of adequate fertilizer. In this way, Chen Kai's orchard can be opened, even if these fruit trees will only bear fruit immediately when they first grow, and then they will bloom and bear fruit according to the normal natural growth process, but even so, Chen Kai can also get a large number of fresh fruits to relieve the tight supply of fruits and vegetables, and at the same time slightly make up for the expenses of the city lord's mansion. This orchard and vegetable field will become the private property of Chen Kai's city lord's mansion. It's just that with the plantation as the pillar of the city's main industry, and it is also vegetables and fruits, it is estimated that the entire Hansting is only such a lord as Chen Kai. No matter how poor the other lords were, they relied on food rather than vegetables and fruits as the basis for the expenses of the city lord's mansion, and although fruits and vegetables seemed to be more profitable at the moment, fruits and vegetables could not be compared to patches of grain in any case. Of course, even if Chen Kai did not grow grain, as the actual controller of the entire Berkner Township territory, those farmers had to hand over a part of the grain as a contribution after planting it. This grain is not only a tax, but also a protection fee and land rent.

Looking at this shrub orchard composed of cherries, apples and other fruits, Chen Kai's heart began to slowly relax, at least in his opinion, he was gradually on the right track, although there was still a huge crushing task on his head. But for now, the whole town of Berkner exudes a strong vitality. At least in Chen Kai's opinion, it is much better than the territory of other players who are currently being ravaged by demonic rats. I don't know if it was because they harassed the old city of Hugodi excessively, but as a result, more than 100,000 demonized rats in it fled en masse and rushed out of the old city of Hugodi, which had become a ruin. They first turned the nearest player knight's territory into ruins. Crazy nibbling on what a qiē can eat, from food to the player itself. However, for now, those demonized rats will not become a problem in Chen Kai's territory, at least before they arrive, more than half of them will be dropped.

Of course, Chen Kai will not be unprepared, after all, if these demonized rats are really allowed to enter his territory, it is estimated that the residents of his territory will not have to live this year and will be starved to death. Although in Chen Kai's opinion, once the demonized rat enters the city, it is almost impossible to even starve to death. Fortunately, the main attack route of those demonized rats was towards the northern aristocratic alliance, although some of them were heading towards the south, but Chen Kai believed that with the current garrison strength of the city, he should be able to stop those demonized rats.

But before that, Chen Kai first had to take over his new troops, a group of soldiers of the former lord who were still shackled and their faces were full of panic. Of course, they are definitely much luckier than their former companions. At least they're still alive, and they're still human, not demonic creatures who don't have the right mind and only know how to devour flesh and blood. In fact, some of the former lord's soldiers were captured as prisoners by the player at the beginning of Lord Hugodi's rebellion, and they spent at least half a year in prison with panicked and numb expressions on their faces. If Chen Kai hadn't bought them from Prime Minister Capello, perhaps these people would have either died in prison or had been sold as slaves and worked in the mines until they died.

In fact, if it weren't for their special status, maybe Baron Kemdal would have taken the lead in buying these soldiers to serve as hard laborers, digging up the dense metal ore around Hugodi to build weapons to enrich the army, but now the underground world connected to the mine is basically occupied by demonic creatures and the rebel forces of the former lord. As a result, many player lords occupy the treasure mountain but have no way to obtain the treasure. Even Chen Kai himself knew that there were at least a dozen pyrite and copper concentrate mines in the territory, as well as a small Mithril concentrate deposit. However, these mineral deposits were buried by Chen Kai asked those civil construction mages to use spells, although doing so is tantamount to cutting off their own financial routes, but in the face of a vital passage that can be used as a vital passage for the former lord's troops to enter and exit at any time and a mineral deposit that has no money to make for the time being, Chen Kai will still choose the former. …,

As long as the ore is in the territory, then Chen Kai will definitely have the opportunity to develop them as long as he is still a lord, but if Chen Kai is not a lord, then there will be no chance to develop the ore. It's useless to keep these mines, and it's better to bury them directly. Of course, Chen Kai was not the only one who did this, but the other lords also did the same, so there were basically only a few mines left in the entire Hugodi territory, and they all had to be mined at the risk of being used by the former lord's troops as an outlet for the underground world and the ground.

The reason why the former lord, who was made the king of wild boars by Chen Kai and them, had the confidence to rebel was because of the hundreds of metal mines around Hugodi and the powerful blacksmiths of Hugodi, but now there are only a few good blacksmiths in the entire territory. Most of them live in the territory of the Aboriginal Noble Alliance, and Chen Kai's territory also has blacksmiths but can only make some low-level weapons, although the quality is good, but there is still a bit of a distance from excellent quality. This is also the sequelae of the war for Hugodi, the loss of a large number of high-end talents has made Hugodi's once human ironforge a thing of the past. A city once known as the dwarven forging capital of humans. Now there is not even a master blacksmith, and even the former lord city has been reduced to ruins, which has to be said to be a sadness.

When Chen Kai looked at these captive soldiers who were shackled and numb, he saw an extremely special person. For he did not look numb like the others, but quietly looked in the direction of the old town of Hugodi in the north, and only after a long time sighed, or remembered something, and spat on the ground.

"Who's that guy?" Chen Kai's gaze quickly moved away from the Eagle Eye telescope, and then passed the intercepted picture to Xu Fei beside him.

"Boss! Do you really think I'm an Encyclopedia Britannica or a Gu Ge Du Niang? Xu Fei glanced at Chen Kai directly, he really didn't want to answer Chen Kai's question, but although he was not the only one in the entire team to collect information, he was always sorting it out after the final summary. Therefore, it is absolutely not wrong for Chen Kai to ask what is basically looking for Xu Fei, of course, the premise is that Xu Fei's database has this information.

"Huh? There really is! I didn't expect it to be a big shot! Drake? Hom Anstain. Former head of the Black Armor Order of Hugodi, Hashimov the Iron Fist Lion? The only son of Hom Anstain. Knight Title! The lion cubs who were once called the Black Knights of Hugodi are now a wretched bunch just like those soldiers! His mother was killed by his father's own hands. Although he was in a state of madness after demonization, and he was chased and killed by Lord Hugodi and escaped from the city because he refused to accept the demonization, he was rescued by a passing player, but he was still imprisoned! Xu Fei took a look at the pictures passed by Chen Kai, and with the help of the data analysis system in the system, he quickly found this person's information in the information he collected about Hu Gedi's territory.

"Lion cubs? When I meet this lion, I hope he can be strong enough! Chen Kai touched his chin, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the other party's father was also called a lion, although it was much worse than him, but it still made Chen Kai feel very weird.

"Let's go! Let's go check out these guys. Hopefully they can continue to fight after recuperation, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a bunch of unwielding waste! Chen Kai knows very well that most of the soldiers basically don't have much combat effectiveness, after all, after being in prison for nearly half a year, even if they were as strong as cattle in the past, it is estimated that they are almost as thin as bamboo poles.

"But I guess you don't have too much hope, what I hope most is that they don't become a burden or even a hidden part of the town! You know, they were all soldiers of Lord Hugodi, and God knows if that lord had something special on them. For example, let them demonize them into puppets or something? Xu Fei was very angry that Chen Kai had spent more than two million yuan on these prisoners and their families, although there was also a lot of food that had been transported by these soldiers and their families. But this time it added nearly 15,000 mouths to the entire town of Burkner, so that Xu Fei had no choice but to calculate the food consumption with his abacus. …,

For Xu Fei, he felt a headache when he thought of the time when he had to tighten his belt to live again, and what made him most depressed was that most people were still welcoming the increase in urban population, especially when they saw that these increased population were young and middle-aged. After all, young adults are not only the main force of food production, but also the main source of soldiers in the army, especially since many of these people are soldiers who are former lords, which is excellent news.

"! This damn profiteer! When Chen Kai saw these soldiers clearly. The mood was still relatively good, but when he saw the unworn armor that the soldiers were attached to, he was instantly angry, not to mention those war horses. Maybe these horses used to be good horses, but they were disabled in battle, and now they are all lame horses, and it is very good to be able to act as a colt, and as for riding, it is a dream.

"That's it! At least these weapons are good, and there is enough food, and most importantly, these two things! Xu Fei pointed to the two magic crystal cannons that Fei Yun was inspecting, obviously the Prime Minister Capello also knew that ordinary garbage armor was not worth that much money at all, so he took two magic crystal cannons that might have been eliminated as compensation.

"But it can't be better at all! These two things look like they've been used. God knows if it's going to break! Chen Kai pointed to the two magic crystal cannons depressedly and said, of course, the caliber of these two magic crystal cannons is much larger than the magic crystal cannons that Chen Kai put in the city. If Chen Kai's magic crystal cannons are small, then these two should be small and strengthened, and they are still a little far from medium-sized magic crystal cannons, but they are definitely more powerful than small magic crystal cannons. However, no matter how powerful it is, if there is no way to use it, it will be scum, so although Chen Kai has some expectations in his heart, he is more dissatisfied. After all, the expected black-armored cavalry armor has become the current garbage, and it is not as strong as the militia leather armor in his warehouse.

"At least not bad, aren't they?" Xu Fei pointed to the numb soldiers and said. Although it seems that their appearance is very numb, there is almost no hope of life. But just by looking at them, the soldiers were still strong.

"Very good indeed! And it seems a bit over-the-top! Chen Kai's eyes looked at the so-called lion cub who pushed away those soldiers and ran straight towards him, as the iron fist lion Hashimov? The only son of Hom Anstain. This Drake? The former knight of Homanstain had the same blonde hair as his father, but was much younger and stronger. It's just that he doesn't have the so-called loyalty of knights in his eyes, because he and his father both dedicate their loyalty to their lords, but in the end, one becomes a captive and the other is currently missing, and basically most players believe that the knight leader has basically been demonized into a monster.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Chen Kai was very interested in the middle-aged man who rushed in front of him, to be honest, the other party was too unique, and this guy was the most normal one among so many numb soldiers.

"Please unshackle me! I need a treatment that matches my status! "Drake? Hom Anstain said to Chen Kai in a very firm tone, while raising the shackles in his hands.

"Absolutely! And it's not just your shackles that will be unshackled, it's all the shackles behind you, as long as you swear eternal allegiance to me! Chen Kai gently patted the other party's shoulder and said, he knew that such an oath was basically not binding, and even knights would betray their lords because of various temptations. Of course, Chen Kai would not be so stupid, because he had already prepared a contract so that these soldiers would not be so easily betrayed.

"Sorry! I don't think I can do it, I am loyal to my past lord but he turned my father into a monster, my father killed his loved one with his own hands in front of me, which is my mother, so I don't trust any lord, therefore I can't be loyal to you! Drake's face flashed with hatred as he said this, he hated his own father even more, and hated the lord of Hugodi even more, the man who had turned his father into a monster and his mother into a corpse.
