Although the entire Lord's Mansion spent the dusk evening in a burst of chickens and dogs because of Lef, the underwear thief, only Xu Fei and Chen Kai knew that Burkner Town had actually fallen into an extremely dangerous situation on that day-1-Even if those player lords might not necessarily be corrupted by the temptation of beautiful women once or twice, in Chen Kai's eyes, these player lords would definitely not be able to resist for long. In fact, seeing the scenes described in the intelligence, Chen Kai himself didn't think he could hold on.
After all, Chen Kai is also a junior brother, even if he has experienced the baptism of many love action movies, he is essentially a junior brother who has held the hand of a girl even if he is dead. The worst thing is that it seems that Chen Kai also held the girl's hand in the game, but in reality, he and Su Wan are still ordinary friends, at least in terms of contact between the two sides.
As for why they blocked the news and didn't let others know, Chen Kai and Xu Fei's consideration was very simple, that is, to try to ensure internal stability. Although it is clear to most people that the conflict between them and the League of Players in the North is basically irreconcilable. Although the so-called contradiction is only because of a gem abyss, everyone knows that the wealth represented by the gem abyss is too great. Because of the existence of the Jewel Abyss, the financial situation of Burkner Town, which was so bad that it would have gone bankrupt without Chen Kai's support, improved slightly, and it almost turned a profit in one fell swoop.
If you lose the source of the gem abyss. Then Chen Kai's follow-up plan is impossible to talk about, and there is no money to pay for some of the combat weapons and equipment he just ordered from Prime Minister Capello. Even the idea conceived in Chen Kai's mind to completely fortify the southern castle would become a castle in the air. Of course, it is estimated that even if he puts forward this idea, no one will agree with it. No one will pay for Chen Kai's move except himself.
The most important thing is that the entire Hansting Empire will not allow a fortress within its empire that is not controlled by the emperor, and the so-called fortress is not just a transformation of the cliffs on both sides of the southern castle into a fortress. The reinforcement of rocks and walls alone requires at least tens of millions of gold coins, and the fortresses in the game are not stone castles made of rocks. In reality, such a castle may barely be called a fortress, at least in the era of cold weapons, but in the game world with magic, the walls of the fortress need to be permanently solidified with at least a few protective spells. There are several protections to prevent rocks from being deformed by spells, and they are not included in the cost of solidifying spell protection, as it is the most basic requirement.
Therefore, the idea in Chen Kai's mind is very good, but the cost is too high, and if he loses the wealth of the Gem Abyss, it is almost impossible for his idea to be realized. Even if you have the gem abyss as a financial source for the next ten years. Turning a castle in the south into a fortress was not something that could be done overnight, and it might take him years to do so.
However, if the castle in the south and the surrounding cliffs were to be turned into a redstone fortress, then Chen Kai's territory could be said to be impregnable, of course, only for this side of the Great Rift Valley. But actually for the town of Burkner. The threat from the north is much higher than that from the monsters and demonized soldiers in the Great Rift Valley, which is basically a relatively safe area within nearly five kilometers of the southern castle side for now. Although this security can sometimes be put in quotation marks, because here and then you will encounter some monsters or other demonic creatures that have appeared out of nowhere, and of course, the demonic forces of the former lords have recently added a bunch of sub-demons. Although Chen Kai tried to use the underground passage they had walked to get to Altinis in the south, the players who ran to explore the path eventually escaped from the underground world under the attack of countless monsters and demonized soldiers. They didn't even find the colorful underground river. …,
As a result, the trade route to the south remains semi-unobstructed under the blockade of this gang of sub-monsters, and it can't even be semi-unblocked, at least for now. At the same time, the players in the north reneged on the covenant, making Chen Kai's originally relatively safe northern defense line full of loopholes. When these players completely fell to Baron Kemdahl, those player territories in the north of Chen Kai no longer became so friendly. At least in Chen Kai's eyes, they have become very dangerous.
On the third day of Baron Kemdal's tea party, Chen Kai once again bought a new piece of information from the thieves' guild. Of course, it's also the worst one. One of his biggest fears was that the players in the north had chosen to break the covenant altogether. They didn't choose to fight Chen Kai, but used another method to suppress Chen Kai. Although this method seemed very incredible to Chen Kai, it really made him stay for a long time.
These player guilds actually united and attached themselves to the banner of Baron Kemdal and became the vassal nobles of this baron. Baron Kemdal, whose territory was originally only one town, immediately expanded his territory more than ten times after receiving the surrender of these player nobles. The most important thing is that through his family's activities, these territories have been given to the imperial authorities, and what is even more deplorable is that Baron Kemdal has changed from a baron to a viscount. Although he is the most low-level viscount, he is nearly one level higher than Chen Kai, just one head higher than Chen Kai.
Looking at such a strange change, Chen Kai and the others felt a feeling of being dumbfounded, and the most important thing was the news passed from Prime Minister Capello Chen Kai knew that his troubles were far more than that. At the same time, he underestimated the power of the family behind Baron Kemdahl, and the other party actually issued an order to Chen Kai through the official of the Hansting Empire to eliminate Count Hugodi within a limited time. The order would arrive in Chen Kai's territory in a week's time, and this was already the result of Prime Minister Capello's best efforts to delay.
"Baron Berkner, I don't know how you offended the Kemaldal family, but apparently this move is very unwise, and now their revenge will ruin you! If possible, try to ease relations with Viscount Kemdal. It's good for you and your territory! Of course, I think if you are still alive in a month, you are doing this, if you can't live, then it's useless to have a good relationship! If you have a chance, you will cut that bastard viscount to Lao Tzu! This is a letter sent to Chen Kai by Prime Minister Capello Tongguò Thieves' Guild, except for the last sentence to Chen Kai's appetite, the previous words sounded unusually harsh to his ears.
"! These bastards! "Whether it is Xu Fei or others, after reading the information, they can't help but start complaining about the undisciplined behavior of those player guilds in the north, and in the continuous complaining, the immediate family members of those player guilds are almost greeted. It's a pity that the spit is spit. No matter how undisciplined the other party is, according to Prime Minister Capello's words, Chen Kai and they are really going to die.
"What now?" Everyone began to think about this problem after complaining for nearly half an hour, but even Xu Fei, a dog-headed military division, was at a loss now. It can be said that the actions of Baron Kemdahl or now the viscount hit Chen Kai almost immediately, and without breaking away from the control of the Hansting Empire, plus not being a hereditary nobleman, they really have no way to disobey the official orders of the Hansting Empire. The most direct form of this kind of command will appear in Chen Kai's taskbar in the form of a mandatory task, although it will not be directly hung up once the task fails. But it will definitely be left with nothing.
"! Death is death, and whoever is afraid of whom! Let's just drag it into the water together! After scratching his scalp for a long time, Chen Kai came up with a very damaging solution, and stood up directly on the table. …,
"Boss! What do you think of? Everyone was shocked by Chen Kai's loud slapping on the table, but when they saw his movements, they knew that he had an idea, but listening to his tone, this idea would not be a good idea.
"Dick! Write a letter to the Prime Minister Capello. Since Viscount Kemdal is the highest nobleman of the Hugodi Domain, then as a nobleman, he should play an exemplary role! Destroy the traitors of the Empire, as a viscount, he has an unshirkable obligation, and by the way, bring the names of those bastards with him! If you dare to yin Lao Tzu, I will come back directly. By the way, the prime minister was given five million gold coins to fund the event. Although Prime Minister Capello annoys it a little, giving him money will definitely get things done! As soon as Chen Kai's words fell, everyone was stunned. This idea couldn't be better for the current situation, since the player lords in the north are not kind to them. Then don't blame Chen Kai, they are not righteous to them. Of course, for Chen Kai, from the time when those player guilds planned to seize his gem abyss. There will be no righteousness on either side.
Instead of Chen Kai and the others entering the underground world to make trouble with Count Hugodi, it is better to drag them into the underground world together when they are attacked by these undisciplined guys. Of course, it is better for everyone to be killed together than for Chen Kai's family to be killed. And after entering the underworld, who knows who will survive in the end, or who knows if those guys will die at the hands of monsters or at the hands of their own people.
So in the end, Chen Kai's idea was approved by everyone with both hands and even with both feet, Xu Fei ran to handle this matter almost non-stop, and in order to ensure safety, he simply went to the imperial capital again through the guò teleportation array. In addition to handing over Chen Kai's letter to Prime Minister Capello along with the gold coins, he also bought some special supplies from the imperial capital by the way, of course, the most life-saving things among them, and he brought back a dozen high-level magic scrolls alone. It can be said that they directly emptied the gold coins in Chen Kai's pockets, and even used the Gem Abyss as collateral to borrow nearly 20 million gold coins from the Mage Association in exchange for spell scrolls and utensils.
As the richest depositor in the gaming world, the Mage Guild is definitely the largest source of lending in the game. Of course, the premise is that you have a sufficient amount of collateral and a good enough relationship with the Mage Guild. As the hottest ore mining site in recent times, the Gem Abyss can definitely be regarded as a gold investment point, and Xu Fei signed a loan agreement in a very insidious way. Although the borrower is the lord of Burkner Town, he did not specify that the repayer must be Chen Kai, the current lord of Burkner Town, if Chen Kai loses his territory, then the successor will have to bear this huge debt, and once he can't pay back the money, then the Spell Society can directly collect the entire Gem Abyss.
Xu Fei used this method to plant a bomb for the ownership of the Jewel Abyss, and if Chen Kai and the others finally kept the territory, it would be easy to say. If the final territory is occupied by someone else. Then just paying interest is enough to make many players go bankrupt in an instant. You must know that Xu Fei has set a lot of traps on the repayer, if the repayer is him, then the interest will be very low, if the repayer is not him, the interest alone will be so high that it scares many people to death.
When Chen Kai saw the various materials and equipment that Xu Fei moved back to the territory, his face was very good-looking, especially when he saw the loan agreement signed by Xu Fei, his face instantly became very good-looking. If Chen Kai's strategy is only insidious. Then Xu Fei's actions are out of the house. Even if Chen Kai and them lose their territory in the end, these players will not be able to get the ownership of the Gem Abyss, there are three major forces in the Hansting Empire that cannot be offended, and even their strength is above the nobles. One is the royal family of the Empire, the second is the Temple of Dawn, and the third is the Mage Association. Although the Hansting Mage Association is only a branch of the Continental Mage Association, his control of power is something that many big nobles are afraid of, even the Hansting royal family does not dare to offend. …,
So Chen Kai had no other ideas than thumbs up and praised Xu Fei for doing a good job. As for whether the other party filled his pockets after borrowing, it was completely unnecessary in Chen Kai's opinion. Because the gold coins on the loan agreement eventually turned into a dozen spell scrolls in front of him, as well as the cost of making gems into spell gems that Xu Fei brought to the imperial capital. There were more than twenty spell gems with an arcane lightning chain attached to them from Xu Fei's waist alone, and there were more than a dozen more advanced arcane thunderstorm spells, and there were hundreds of various spell gems left. All are the volume in the thumb big. The additional spell level is above level five, and the magic power contained in it can at least instantly kill the existence of a seventh-order monster.
In order to make up for these spell gems, Xu Fei almost hollowed out the low-level spell gems in the entire spell association. Of course, the price paid was quite staggering, with 70% of the loan going into the payment for these gems, and the rest going into spell scrolls and spell crystals and other materials.
"You're not going to move all the Spell Guild's warehouses back, are you?" Chen Kai watched Xu Fei take out things from his backpack in large bags and small bags. In addition to the backpack, the space equipment he carried with him was also stuffed with various materials.
"Nope! The Spell Guild's warehouse is so big that there's not even a hundredth of what is here! Xu Fei kept digging out his things, while recalling in his mind the scene he saw in the huge warehouse of the Imperial Capital Spell Association. This is probably the largest warehouse Xu Fei has seen in the game in his life, and the things in it are almost the size of three or four football fields.
"But if this is the town of Burkner, it will still be ours. But what if you can't pay for it? Chen Kai thought of another question, after all, those old mages in the Spell Association were all usurers. The power of calculation is terrifying.
"Don't worry! I don't write it here! As long as I repay the money, the interest will be calculated at the lowest level. If the Gem Abyss is still in our hands at that time, it will only take ten days to pay it back at the current level of income! And the interest is still calculated from two months later, and if you repay early, you can also discount the interest! Xu Fei counted with his fingers, it can be said that although the loan was in a hurry, he had carefully calculated and even proofread the signed contract more than a dozen times, after all, Xu Fei still had to prevent the old mages of the Mage Association from playing tricks on his apprentices.
A week later, when Chen Kai received his mission order from the messenger in the Imperial Capital, the other player lords who were watching Chen Kai's excitement also received the same order. Almost at the same time, their faces changed from the joy of watching the excitement to a very ugly color of pig liver, and of course the same was true of Viscount Kemdahl. However, from the information of the Thieves' Guild that Chen Kai had purchased, he saw an unusual message, that is, when Kemdal returned to his lord's mansion, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, instead of the sluggish and fearful expression he had before.
Although Chen Kai noticed this place, there was too little information in his hands. Therefore, Chen Kai could only raise a trace of vigilance against Viscount Kai Modal in his heart, but he had no reason to doubt him or expose him. While Chen Kai began to organize his troops, the other player guilds continued to gather in the territory of Viscount Kemdal and began to comment on this mission.
"! What the hell is going on! Why was it that Kaichen was the only one in the past, but now there are more of us! TmD, is Count Hugodi that easy to kill? I don't know if we're going to be wiped out this time, and the deadline set by TmD is the same, only give us one month! We can't even find out where the other party is in a month's time! Sitting in the chair, Qi Shaohuang began to roar loudly, and the others also looked depressed and annoyed.
"Isn't that a shot in the foot?" Feng Buyun's face was also gloomy, but Viscount Kemdal, who was sitting in his chair, had a smile on his face.
"Don't worry! Everybody! This time, we could have let that dear Baron Berkner play as a striker! After all, that's the one we think we're the best at fighting, and we just have to follow behind! As long as we find someone to keep an eye on that baron, we can rest easy! As long as his mission fails, I will protect your territory from being lost, and that gem abyss will not fall into our hands in the end! Viscount Kemdal said with a smile ......)
