Chapter 488 The Despair Is Getting Closer (Part 2)
If the undead at the high-level legendary level is troublesome and headache for Chen Kai's impact, then when Andrei covered his never-recoverable arm and told the upper level of the temple that the other king-level undead identity was not just a shock.
The Temple Dragon Knights troops, which were finally drawn, only arrived in Berkner Town for a day, but they were completely destroyed after receiving the news. Except for the Dragon being brought back, no living Dragon Knight fled. Such losses were difficult for the top leaders of the temple to accept for a while. If Andre had not even been cut off his arms and the cut off had extremely terrifying death power attached to his cut off arms, the temple's top leaders would probably have doubted whether he had joined forces with the undead to kill the dragon knights.
However, when Andrei lost an arm, no one would be willing to make this argument. Not to mention Andrei's teacher, Charles Lapston, who was stationed in the Demon Sect at this moment, became the legendary Paladin lord not long ago. Andrei alone was enough to make the temple amazed. After only seven days after losing an arm, Andrei recovered and regained an arm, an arm constructed by lightning. The most important thing is that he stepped into the realm of the sealed holy realm with this arm and completely forged the holy in front of his name.
However, even if he entered the realm of the titled Holy Realm, Andre knew that he was still very different from the Death Knight King. Even his teacher, the Paladin Lord Charles, who has legendary strength, might die when fighting against the opponent. Because the power of the king-level legendary undead can almost be comparable to that of the demigod in some cases. As long as he has the advantage on the field, even the demigod may not be able to kill the opponent in one-on-one situation. Especially when Andre experienced the opponent's extremely terrifying domain power, he knew more clearly that if he could not find the opponent's true body before the opponent completely opened the domain and then strongly killed the opponent, even the demigod might be exhausted in the endless tide of the undead.
For Andre, after becoming the titled Holy Land, he has been thinking about the scene of fighting with the Death Knight King, and the question he has never understood is why the Death Knight King of the Higher Legend can summon so many undeads in the realm. Andre, who has experienced that battle, is very clear that the undead he killed is definitely not a phantom, but a real undead body with a physical body. In that battle, Andre and the others killed at least 30,000 to 40,000 undeads. Such a huge number of undeads is definitely not something that a Death Knight of the Higher Legend can summon so many undeads. The most important thing is that even if he creates it, it cannot be stored in the near-domain.
When Andre told his thoughts to the temple's high-level bishops first reaction was shock and disbelief, and finally became deep fear. If the facts were really as Andre said, then the combat power of the Death Knight King could definitely be said to be a legendary existence, and even the demigod might fall into the opponent's domain power without anyone help. After all, the domain power of the king-level high-level legend has been enough to trap a demigod for a long time. If countless undeads surround a demigod at this time, then even the demigod may fall under such a siege. At the same time, the only demigod in the Temple of Morning Light was born shortly. Not to mention that the old demigod Gedos was much inferior to the old demigod. Just being unable to act at will to fight against Ness at this moment is enough to make the Temple of Morning Light throw a mouse at this moment.
The one who sits in the Holy Mountain of Chenxi cannot leave the Holy Mountain at will. Therefore, there is no demigod powerhouse that can deal with this king-level death knight. Therefore, after receiving this news, the entire Dawn Capital and the Holy Mountain were silent. The old prime minister was also in silence. Prime Minister Capello suddenly felt that the former God of Wealth Chen Kai was simply an absolute bad star. Since he arrived at Hugodi, although all the troops were making money for the empire, there have been no misfortunes encountered. Now even the undead kings of the high legendary level have come out. He felt that if Chen Kai was allowed to stay in Berkner Town for a while, even the demigods might appear.
But it is impossible to temporarily replace Chen Kai with such a thing. Not to mention that he made so much money from Chen Kai, he kicked the people away and couldn't get over. Even if he could get over the conscience, there was no high-ranking nobles willing to take over at this moment. At this moment, the Hugodi leader had completely become a high-risk territory after Andre and the others posted the news. The well-informed noble children, such as Chen Kai's neighbors' families, ran to the imperial capital to send a lot of wealth to the fat Prime Minister Capello, and wanted to let the children of their family leave the extremely dangerous area.
Prime Minister Capello was very embarrassed about such a request, but unexpectedly, the Emperor of Hansting Empire, who had not spoken much, suddenly sent a message to him. "People can leave, soldiers must stay! All the lords who left the territory were cancelled, and the territory was entrusted to the lords of Berkner Town, and they were not handed over to those lords until the lords of the traveler paid enough money."
Hearing these contents, Prime Minister Capello was speechless. Although he knew that the empire was short of money now, it was not enough to openly buy officials and sell territories. However, the emperor's words made him very moved. Especially the purchase price given by the emperor made the prime minister admire him and convinced him. Although Capellozai was very suspicious about whether the starting price of these territories could still be sold, he finally couldn't help but agree to the emperor's plan.
Of course, the Hansting Empire Emperor's plan was more than that. When another plan was thrown out, Prime Minister Capello felt that his past IQ was weak. Of course, at least he was like this in front of His Emperor. Although he had thought of this plan in his heart, he never dared to propose it to the emperor because it would arouse the disgust of some imperial nobles. However, when His Majesty the Emperor proposed it, Prime Minister Capello would choose to raise his hands and feet to agree. In this plan, the Drows who occupied Beihu Town and the Old Hugodi City will be recruited and become residents of the Beihu Town territory. The only thing they need to do is to block the demons and undeads coming out of Hugodi's old city. If there is any, they also need to send an army of at least 3,000 people to assist the Lord of Berkner to defend the city.
This not only allows Chen Kai, the lord of Berkner Town, to obtain the so-called reinforcements, but also prevent Chen Kai, who has obtained the lord's complete territory, from taking the opportunity to grow. Similarly, those players who surrender to Zoer are also among the pardons. However, if they want to leave Beihu Town or Hugodi, they must kill at least ten undead spirits. In other words, they must pay ten undead skulls to leave Hugodi. This move forced the Beihu Town players who finally got pardoned had to join the battle against the undead spirits, and Capellozai was the most agreeing with this plan. Because the emperor of the Hansting Empire just said that he wanted ten undead skulls, but he didn't want any undead skulls of any level. High-level Death Knight skulls can only be counted as one, and low-level skulls can only be counted as one. In this way, many players will find that this task is very tricky.
However, most players in Beihu Town originally joined the Drow Elves power and the only idea was to be happy, but many players now feel depressed, especially those who want to rely on killing hostile forces to gain experience. However, even if they are dissatisfied, it is impossible for them to kill the other party to earn experience before these players who once joined the Drow Elves power and rebelled again. Of course, the only one among the many players is probably the former lord of Xianghu Town, Li Xiangrong, because the Hansting Empire punished the rebellion lord very severely. He did not receive the pardon order from His Majesty the Emperor of the Hansting Empire but was given a reward.
Of course, as long as he doesn't leave Beihu Town, no one can kill him and hold his head for money, but the former boss of the Xianghu Brotherhood is very depressed and has lost most of his subordinates. Only a few supporters are left under his command, the Xianghu Brotherhood is almost at the bottom among the Zoul Elf players in Beihu Town. The most important thing is that when the Zoul Elf received the pardon order from His Majesty the Emperor of the Hansting Empire, even the Prince Ace Luosing of the Zoul Elf chose to abandon Li Xiangrong in order to preserve his strength. Of course, based on the former friendly cooperation, he still protected Li Xiangrong at least to prevent him from being attacked in Beihu Town.
When Chen Kai received the order from the imperial capital, the only feeling was that I was cheated again. Although the stewardship of several territories made Chen Kai gain more power, in fact, Chen Kai needed to invest more money because of the stewardship of these territories. First of all, when these lords left, Chen Kai must have to pay for some of the food in the territories. Because the lords of these territories sold all the things they could sell when they left. Except for the soldiers' equipment and the defense facilities on the city walls were not sold, the other territories, including the lords' mansion and even the warehouse, all of them became gold coins in their pockets when they left.
Just to feed these tens of thousands of mouths, Chen Kai had to pay millions of gold coins, which made the financial situation of Berkner, which had already made the worse. Fortunately, most of the 100,000 residents left soon, because after losing the lord, there was no problem even if these residents left the territory. Under the threat of the undead, most of the residents immediately chose to leave with their families. At the same time, more residents chose to run directly to Berkner and the city of Kelda, which was being built by the dwarves in the north, and there were almost no residents who chose to stay in the original territory. After thinking about it, Chen Kai chose to move all the soldiers in all the territory. At the same time, all the city defense facilities were concentrated in Berkner. In response, the Hansting Empire's special envoy to Berkner or Prime Minister Capello chose to remain silent.
The city wall facing the Gem Abyss in Berkner Town has completely become a fortress. Hundreds of trenchers and crossbows are distributed on the low earth walls that are simply built. In order to build these earth walls, Chen Kai used the indigenous people and players earth element mages that the entire Hugodi leader could gather. Within half a month, nearly ten kilometers of long and three meters of city walls were built, and layer by layer, firmly blocking the road to the Gem Abyss in Berkner Town.
Building a city wall that is nearly ten kilometers long within half a month is definitely a miracle in reality, because the three-meter-high city wall is completely made of soil. It can be said that it takes a lot of time to accumulate this soil. However, in the hands of thousands of earth element mages, as long as there are enough magic crystals, they can complete it quickly, especially the dwarf mages who are gradually recovering are quite good at this. Originally, the dwarfs were not optimistic about Chen Kai's behavior. Because they felt that such a city wall could not resist the attacks of the undead. But when they saw the final line of defense gradually completed, they found that players were far more talented than dwarves in defending the city, at least in terms of learning lessons.
Although there is no underground magma in Berkner town that can provide thermal energy to build steam cannons, and there is not enough steel to build that kind of luxury. However, after mobilizing several cities' defense facilities, Chen Kai gathered nearly 600 catapults and 300 bed crossbows. The dense catapults can project hundreds of tons of rocks at one launch, which can directly flatten an area with an area of at least 300 square meters. Remember to flatten it, which is the attack of crushing the entire ground into a flat ground, which is more sharp than washing the ground.
The ten-kilometer-long city wall is not a whole, but a layer of continuous built city walls. There are only a few roads behind each city wall and the next city wall. These roads along with the city wall are connected by wooden suspension bridges. Under the suspension bridge are trenches several meters deep and covered with earth trenches. The continuous city walls are surrounded by trenches, with as many as six or seven layers. The combination of these city walls can effectively prevent the enemy from hitting the final city wall at one time. The most important thing is that the main city wall of Berkner Town is several meters higher than the small city wall below. This height is enough to allow the defensive weapons on the main city wall to easily cover the trenches and walls below the city wall. Once a certain section of the city wall is broken, the guardians on the main city wall can immediately know and use the weapons on the city wall to suppress the area at a fixed point.
What was prepared in the stone caster on the main city wall was not the rocks of the stone caster on the low wall, but hundreds of magic crystal explosive barrels filled with a mixture of gunpowder and magic crystal powder. The power of the explosion was comparable to the flame ball released by the sixth-level fire element mage. This was the effect of the newly improved magic crystal gunpowder created by the dwarf queen Vivichra after reaching the ground.
However, due to the lack of materials, these hundreds of powder barrels are now the limit of inventory that Berkner Town can take out. Chen Kai is not as rich as Lava City, and being able to take out such a fortune is the result of his hollowing out his pocket. Now the vault in Berkner Town is almost able to run away mice, and all the money has become food and weapons. Chen Kai doesn't even have the money to buy himself snacks. If he can't block the attack of the undead this time, he may really go bankrupt and sleep on the street.
However, the biggest problem for Chen Kai is that Berkner Town lacks enough strong men, and the reinforcements from the Temple of Morning Light have never arrived. After those Paladin bishops were sent to the imperial capital to recuperate, no new aid forces arrived. At this moment, there are only two Saint Realm powerhouses in Berkner Town, one is Arnold and the other is Drake who successfully advanced. If there are two Saint Realm powerhouses in other places, it is already very powerful, but now Chen Kai needs to face a troops led by a high-level legendary undead. Even if Arnold and Drake are tied together, it is not enough for the other party to cut with one sword.
Looking at the little reinforced low city walls and the trenches that stood upright in the trenches several meters deep, Chen Kai still couldn't calm down. Because in his mind, all this was just one word, and it was all money! "A one meter of city wall costs 300 gold coins. Now he has built at least ten kilometers and a full 10,000 meters, and a total of three million gold coins. It takes ten gold coins to lay out the ground trenches for one meter of trenches. Now he has arranged at least five thousand meters of trenches, so that is fifty thousand gold coins. Damn my money is gone again!" Chen Kai calculated with his fingers, but the more he calculated, the more he found that he was poorer. After exploring his pocket, he was sad to find that there were only fifty copper coins left in his pocket, which should have been very full. It was almost as poor as when he just came to this game world.
Of course, the cost of 300 one-meter city walls is absolutely not very watery. Because these walls are still being reinforced, each reinforcement takes dozens of minutes for a player mage. The magic potion 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 can the Gem Abyss delay those undead?" After checking the last city wall, Chen Kai looked at the dark Gem Abyss in the distance and sighed. This was a month and a half after Gavalon's death. After climbing to level 71, Chen Kai's experience growth stagnated. The daily lord mission was like a drop in the bucket for Chen Kai's level growth. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had gained a lot of experience in the battle in the underground world, it would have been a dream to climb to level 71.
While Chen Kai sighed, a huge rock in the dark underground world was completely shattered under the attack of a dragon spear. The face of the Death Knight "Galloon Cook" with tears slowly appeared under the ground of the gem abyss, slowly lifting up his crying face, "Galloon" body respectfully left the side, and the figure of Arthur, the king of the Death Knight, slowly walked out of the dark passage.
