Chapter 48 Death Knights (Part 2)
Chapter 48 The Knights of the Death (Class)
For Chen Kai, whether to join the battle behind the Redstone Fortress is of no significance to him. If it weren't for the fact that he had not completed the pass to travel through the Rohan Empire, he would probably have left the fortress and ran back to Hans Court.
The very strict household registration system in the game is something that many players feel criticized. Of course, relatively speaking, players are much better than those indigenous civilians, because as long as they take up their posts, they can freely travel between cities in their country. Except for not being able to enter the first-level main city and imperial capital before a certain level, you can basically go anywhere you want, and of course they do not include the private and private residences of each residents.
However, if you want to travel in other countries, you must first obtain a pass to enter the country. Chen Kai and others can be said to be illegally entering the country. If it is put in reality, it is the crime of smuggling, and can be sentenced or forced to be repatriated. However, Chen Kai hopes to be forced to be repatriated, but there is no possibility in the game. Generally speaking, it is easy to say that people who enter the country illegally can investigate clearly, and just spend money to apply for a pass. If it cannot be investigated clearly, it is even easier to say, just use a knife to cut it.
However, the Redstone Fortress is an official who does not handle civil affairs in the military fortress, so Chen Kai’s pass is very troublesome. Even if he gets rid of Baron Zafu, Chen Kai will not expect to get the pass without seven or eight days, and then get the chance to leave the Redstone Fortress.
Although there is no way to leave the Redstone Fortress and pass through the Rohan Empire and return to Hans Court, Chen Kai is not able to walk in the church of the Temple of Morning Light. Relying on the achievements obtained in Paranon and Andosen, Chen Kai has a low reputation in the Redstone Fortress. Although he may not be recognized and warmly welcomed when he goes out, at least he can meet a few people who know him on the road. Among the people Chen Kai is familiar with, there are only a few indigenous people except Baron Zaf and Baron Qizama, and these include the old mercenary Hanmota who escaped from Paranon.
Hammota, who successfully escaped from Paranorn, did not stay in Andosen, but found his youngest son's grandmother, his cheap mother-in-law's home, and directly fled to Redstone Fortress with them. Hammota, an old mercenary who had been struggling in the mercenary world for many years, used his keen insight into death to escape there before Andosen was surrounded and successfully escaped to Redstone Fortress. Not only did the mercenary who escaped to Redstone Fortress with him along the way now become his subordinates. The mercenary group he reorganized was even stronger than the small mercenary group in Paranon. There were more than a dozen seventh-level warriors, and he successfully advanced to the ninth level not long ago. Not only did his life span become a little longer, but his body gradually became more energetic.
The most envious and jealous age can at least be the old man of Grandpa Chen Kai. Now there is a young and beautiful girl who is younger than Chen Kai. Obviously, Hanmota has lived a good life during this period. Not only has his career been successful, but he also succeeded in the second or third spring. His face became tighter again due to the promotion made Chen Kai almost recognize the other party, but Hanmota recognized Chen Kai, patted Chen Kai on the shoulder very happily and introduced his new wife to Chen Kai. What surprised Chen Kai was that he was older than his sister in front of him.
The girl who wants to be young is actually the cousin of Hammota's youngest son, the daughter of Hammota's other daughter. Of course, Chen Kai didn't say anything about this, because he found that the professionals in the game, especially those with a level above the eighth level, have a long lifespan, while the professionals with a holy level have a longer lifespan. At the same time, due to strength, their physical functions have always been at the peak, so as long as they are willing to support them at the same time, they can marry a few wives if they want to marry a few wives. Even if their wives are old, they can be their granddaughters, as long as the woman doesn't object.
"Dear Lord Berkner! Are you planning to go back to Hans Court now? If you want to go back, you can hire my Crazy Axe Mercenary Group. I promise to give you the best employment price!" Hanmerta tried to slap Chen Kai on the shoulder with his palm to show his intimacy. Unfortunately, although his height is already huge enough, it is still only a human height. Facing Chen Kai, who is nearly 80 centimeters taller than him, he needs to raise his hand to reach Chen Kai's shoulder. As for the slapping action, there is no need to mention.
"I think I may need to stay here for a few days, because I haven't gotten my fellow travelers yet, so I don't want to be regarded as an illegal entry, so I won't leave the Redstone Fortress for the time being!" Chen Kai thought about Hammerta's words carefully and felt a little moved, because he knew very well that if the property in his backpack was exposed, he would definitely not be able to maintain his current strength. Commodities worth millions of gold coins were densely stuffed in Chen Kai's backpack, not including those that were to be brought to Lin Lei for exchange.
The magic crystal and the holy lake water also do not include the things placed in other people's backpacks. It can be said that if Chen Kai and his group's backpacks add up, although they cannot be as rich as a country, they are definitely comparable to a lord who has been operating for hundreds of years. If the wealth of nearly ten million gold coins is known, it will definitely be a thief, but a large-scale robber. Of course, Chen Kai cannot immediately reveal his willingness to hire the other party. He must be careful to hide his wealth unless he wants to be robbed.
"Remember if you want to find a mercenary group, you must find me! I live at No. 239 Ruby Street! That is my mercenary group's base!" Chen Kai looked at the mercenary who was so old that he still hugged the little girl and left slowly, and felt that his forehead was a little thumping.
"I'm scared to death! I finally left that uncle. Where should I go now? Let's go to the city wall! I heard from Baron Zaf that there have always been undead wandering around the fortress recently. It is estimated that Andosen's undead have completed the city cleaning and ready to attack the Redstone Fortress!" Chen Kai, who was talking to himself, walked slowly towards the Redstone Fortress wall. After Chen Kai's wanted state was lifted, this was his fifth time to come to the Redstone Fortress wall. Basically, he had to stay on the side of the city wall for a while every day, especially at the beginning, when refugees entered the city. Chen Kai would use the Eye of Star to observe those refugees, so as not to infiltrate members of evil forces into the city and cause trouble to the fortress when the undead sieges the city.
At first, Chen Kai was squatting at the door of the fortress with the idea of practicing skills, but when he first found a member of a hidden evil force among the refugees entering the fortress, the entire Redstone Fortress began to enter a state of tension. The refugees who had originally entered the fortress were dragged out of the house one by one to check, and anyone with signs of escape would be mercilessly sniped. When Chen Kai saw some innocent people being killed for his reasons, he felt a little guilty. But at the same time, Chen Kai also knew that if members of the evil force were really allowed to mingle into the fortress and then suddenly break out to open the fortress when they were fighting with the undead, it would be a disaster for Redstone Fortress.
So now it has become a common practice for the Temple profession to use magic to check the personnel entering the fortress, and it has even been promoted to other cities. Because no one knows whether there are any members of the Dark Parliament in the Rohan Empire who have been mixed into the Dark Parliament. If they are really mixed into it, they will find out in advance than if they are caught after the city is overturned by the other party. Although Chen Kai was the earliest user of this method, he did not receive any reward because all his achievements were recorded on Baron Zhafu's head. However, Chen Kai did not fail to get benefits. With Baron Zhafu's help, Chen Kai took some special items from Andosenshun and replaced them with more important supplies. It's a pity that these supplies are not for people to use, but are used to feed the two flying dragons in the pet space of Chen Kai and Su Wan.
During this period, the two little guys did not stop growing. Although their growth rate slowed down, they were still growing at a rate of one centimeter a day, and their consumption of food became more and more. Almost every day, they just ate and slept, and lived a life that was even better than pigs. At least pigs could not live a life of roasted lamb legs and drinking sweet and sour juice every day. However, such a life also caused great trouble, that is, these two little guys were a little overweight, and it was almost difficult to fly because of their wings without training. Because of this, Chen Kai had to spend a lot of money to buy some special potions from Baron Zhafu, which can help the dragon turn excess fat into muscles and increase the strength of wings to waving. As for whether the drugs will affect the little guys, according to Baron Zhafu's words, the impact of this drug is definitely less than obesity, and he told Chen Kai.
"Although the flying dragon will be the most important companion of the Dragon Knight, the companion is not a pet. You can't spoil it too much!"
Because of this, Chen Kai felt that he should train the little guy well, at least after his fat turned into muscles, he should strengthen his flight training, because Chen Kai did not want to have a flying dragon to ride in the future but could only ride a dragon knight locally, so he would definitely be laughed to death.
When Chen Kai stepped onto the wall of the Redstone Fortress, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere on the wall today was a little wrong. Although since yesterday, no refugees fled to the fortress for two consecutive days, everyone was sure that there were no survivors outside the fortress, but there were still some people who were still illusions. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of refugees, and now there were less than 200,000 people who fled to the fortress, almost half of all refugees. This number made the commander of the Redstone Fortress Earl Marklachi, but he had no choice, because all the evidence proved that the refugees who fled from Andosen were already in the fortress.
As for why Chen Kai thinks that the atmosphere on the city wall is a bit wrong now, it is because if it is just because of the death of the refugees, then the atmosphere on the city wall should be sad and angry, rather than the extremely tense or even a little panic atmosphere. Before Chen Kai completely put down his steps on the last step of the city wall, a huge alarm sounded instantly, and at the same time, the mountains on both sides emitted a terrible spell light. Two spells that were not known to be too thick fell on Chen Kai before he could react.
In the wilderness outside the fortress, Chen Kai found that at some point the wilderness outside the fortress began to be filled with a gray-red fog. When the two thick spell lights of the sky passed through the void, the thick fog was instantly torn apart and exposed countless skeleton soldiers below, and at the same time, there were even more numerous skeleton creatures. However, the fog was only dispersed under the two thick spells for a short while, and soon Chen Kai's vision was covered by the gray-red fog again.
"Lord Berkner, you shouldn't come up!" Baron Zaf's face was not good. Although he was a little greedy for money, it is undeniable that he had excellent abilities in logistics management. The most important thing was that he was good at absorbing new knowledge. Under his command, there were at least a dozen players engaged in logistics management as his assistants. These poor players were doing logistics in reality. Unexpectedly, after entering the game, they were still regarded by Baron Zaf and became a sergeant in logistics management. However, because of these players as logistics assistants, Baron Zaf could easily allocate hundreds of thousands of troops of supplies, especially when the two mage towers launched an attack, each attack would consume tens of thousands of gold coins. This consumption was not something that an ordinary player or a low-ranking noble could bear. Even the Rohan Empire could not bear such terrible consumption for a long time. What really supported this consumption was the wealth accumulated by the Redstone Fortress for hundreds of years.
"How could I know that the fortress will be attacked at this time!" Chen Kai took the weapon in his hand depressedly. He felt very unlucky. Because he was arrested again, if he had stayed obediently in the prayer room of the fortress temple church at this time, this would probably have happened.
"You're so unlucky! There's no time for others to hide, so you'll run up and die! I'll give you the pass that I just sent today. I hope you can still use it after you die!" Baron Zafu threw a stack of six passes with light blue metallic light to Chen Kai. This pass was the only certificate for him and others to travel in the Rohan Empire in the future. If they didn't leave the Redstone Fortress without this certificate, they would be unable to move forward.
"Don't worry! I'm a traveler and I won't be killed! Thank you!" Chen Kai happily put the six vouchers into his backpack and kept them. This barrier requires the last step to take effect, that is, to drop the user's blood. Only in this way can it be a real pass, but a pass that can only be used by himself.
"Okay! Be careful, I don't want to collect the body for you!" Baron Zafu said and left in a hurry because he needed to rush to the base to deploy troops. Although the entire fortress had been preparing for this day for a long time, when the undead appeared outside the fortress, there were not many defenders on the city wall. It was precisely because of this poor Chen Kai that he was arrested. He stood at the highest point of the city wall with a giant tower shield coming from Baron Zafu, looking at the wall slowly leaning against him.
The near undead and the gray-red mist. The shield is a good product. Not only is the defense strong enough, but it is also a finely crafted green and fine-crafted item. Although there are no additional attributes, it has an additional defense enhancement and resistance to penetration. It can be said that with this shield, Chen Kai can increase his defense by at least 10% after wearing armor. At the same time, the shield has strong resistance to penetration attacks such as arrows, but Chen Kai feels more confused. It is the color of the shield.
"Is it necessary to be so bright? Why is it golden again?" Looking at the huge tower shield in his hand, Chen Kai felt extremely depressed. When the fighting spirit protection on the armor was activated, Chen Kai's entire body almost turned golden, and with the golden armor, it was definitely a golden color, from head to toe. Although this image looks very eye-catching and eye-catching, it is precisely because it is too bright that Chen Kai became the most eye-catching target on the battlefield.
Fortunately, his current location is the highest place on the city wall. Even if he is attacked, he has to wait until the undead crosses the first city wall before being attacked. But the premise of all that is that there is no long-range caster among the undead, and he doesn't believe in killing Chen Kai, so even if he stands at the highest point of the city wall, Chen Kai has no idea. The shield in his hand is ready to block in front of him at any time, even though he knows that the shield basically has little resistance to spells.
While Chen Kai was carrying the shield in fear, Xu Fei looked at the undead under the mage tower with even more fear than him. In fact, the two mage towers were attacked by the undead more than the city wall. Although there were many fortifications around the mage tower, with the help of the gray-red fog, these undead rushed to the fortification quickly. If it weren't for the existence of hundreds of high mages and thousands of low mages in each mage tower, it was estimated that the two most important attack forces in the Redstone Fortress would have been captured in the early stage of the battle.
However, although there is no conquest now, the actual control area around the mage tower has become very narrow. For this reason, several masters who led the mage tower had to send a mage group to join the ground battle and then reduce the bombardment of the wilderness outside the city wall. Xu Fei was one of the people sent to participate in the ground battle under the mage tower. Although his secret gun staff had been repaired, the ammunition, especially the ammunition carved with spell crystals, was not ready. It was not because he had no money in his pocket, but because even if he had money, no one helped him make these things. Even though the mages in the two mage towers belonged to the casters of the Rohan Emperor's territorial division, they were more or less related to the noble mage. The conflict between the noble mages and players in the Rohan Empire was basically difficult to reconcile, which led to Xu Fei's lack of help from the other party. The ability to repair the secret gun staff was already due to Baron Zhafu's help.
"These bastard noble mages treat us as cannon fodder again! Brother Fei, be careful. I see that noble mages have shown greedy eyes at your weapon several times. I guess they are a little malicious!" Standing behind Xu Fei was a player caster who came to the Redstone Fortress from Andosen with him. Although his strength is much weaker than Xu Fei, among the players of the Rohan Empire, he is already a relatively advanced player who is already level 56.
"I understand! Be careful, don't be killed by cannon fodder!" Xu Fei glanced at the low-level noble casters with his eyes. Although these casters were about the same level as Xu Fei and even had lower levels than him, the arrogant expression on his face had already revealed the contempt for the players made Xu Fei feel no good to the other party. The fortifications of the mage tower were through the underground passage and the Redstone Fortress. It is precisely because of this that the defensive positions around the mage tower were so huge, but if the position was occupied, the enemy could rush into the interior of the fortress along the underground passage. It is precisely because of this that the top leaders of the mage tower hurriedly sent the casters to join the ground battle, and at the same time they also stimulated the close-range attack spells on the mage tower. Attack spells that were far more powerful than ordinary spells released by various magic arrays of the mage tower are more powerful than those cast by the mage itself.
It is precisely under this powerful spell attack that Xu Fei and the others could easily enter the battlefield to provide spell support to the soldiers. However, the faint gray-red fog on the battlefield made all the advanced casters very uneasy. These fogs seriously hindered the casters' vision. Even with the help of the shining Eternal Eye on the mage tower, they could not completely see through this gray-red fog, as if something was preventing the mages from discovering the enemy.
