The restoration of the castle lasted for nearly half a month, and this period was almost the weakest stage in the entire town of Berkner. (.) However, with the arrival of the soldiers' families, the entire town began to gradually exude new vitality, and of course there was sadness beyond the first time. After all, when these people happily arrived at Chen Kai's territory, they received news of the death of their husbands and fathers. This was a big blow to some families and could not be compensated with gold coins.

However, no family member cursed Chen Kai. After all, they knew that when their husbands became soldiers, they were destined to die in the battle one day. Even if one day they were old enough to raise their weapons, once the country needed those former soldiers, they would still join the battle for some reason.

In the game, soldiers basically do not have the term completely retired. Once they become soldiers, they will be soldiers for the rest of their lives unless they die. But when you are old, you can put down your weapons and become an old farmer in the countryside, but the identity of a soldier may not be eliminated. Even if you cannot get the salary of a soldier, you will still be summoned into the army once the lord needs it. However, if even a veteran of sixty or seventy years old needs to be summoned, then the territory is basically almost destroyed.

After these families arrived, Chen Kai obtained some new soldiers, of course, the price was that his territory's agricultural development was severely restricted. Because all the young and middle-aged people were asked by Chen Kai to join the army, there was nothing we could do. Faced with the repeated attacks of the former lord's demonized soldiers, Chen Kai was almost exhausted. Although the number of demonized soldiers attacked in the past half month has dropped sharply, almost fewer than once, and because Chen Kai defended the castle, the area in the south of Berkner Town was very stable.

However, only Chen Kai's territory was filled with underground caves, and other areas in the north still had passages and underground. No one knew how many passages there were to the dark underground in the entire Hugodi territory. Some passages were not blocked by the players' current strength. At least Chen Kai knew that there was a huge passage to the underground world in a player territory called Xianghu Brotherhood, which was only ten kilometers away from his territory. Before Chen Kai arrived, most of the troops of this player guild were restrained around this passage, and were attacked almost once every three days on average.

However, after Chen Kai's territory was established, the player organization called Xianghu Brotherhood had a comfortable life for a while. However, half a month after Chen Kai's castle was attacked, a large number of strange sounds came from the underground entrance of this territory that was blocked by players. Although this sound has not appeared for nearly a month, the players of Xianghu Brotherhood, especially those guarding around this underground mine, were definitely familiar to death when they heard this sound. You should know that when they heard this sound before, it meant that at least dozens of demonized cavalry and hundreds of demonized soldiers appeared. At the same time, the louder the sound, the more monsters appeared. This time, the sound from the underground mine was very fierce, and at the same time, the players who dug a large number of ore escaped. At the same time, the players who escaped were patrolling the underground mine.

"Quick! Quick! I'll ring the alarm. There are at least a thousand demonized soldiers underneath, and there are several big guys!" A player who escaped from the mine in a panic roared loudly at his companion, but as soon as he finished speaking, a tentacle spike that rushed out of the underground mine cave instantly penetrated his chest. At the same time, he pulled him back to the extremely dark underground mine cave. If you look closely, it was not the tentacle spike that pierced his chest, but a pink tongue.

The player who was greeted by him almost didn't react. When he realized it, a pink tongue had appeared in the dark mine again. This time, he did not pierce him like his companions, but directly rolled him into the underground mine. After his body shook hard, he saw again that he was already in the mine. He was slowly swallowed into his mouth by a bloody mouth.

When the alarm bell was ringing, several players were already dragged in by the pink tongue shot out of the mine, but no message was revealed. The only message was the extremely miserable wail, and the tone that came suddenly after the elongation, and of course, it was accompanied by the sound of chewing and swallowing.

When the players of Xianghu Brotherhood see the pink tentacle or tongue master clearly, it is also when the other party is completely exposed to the sun. A huge demonized giant lizard, three or four meters tall, is the culprit for swallowing more than a dozen players. The most terrifying time is its mouth with sharp teeth, and even steel can bite it and chew it directly and swallow it. As for whether the thing can't be digested, it probably won't happen. Because the monsters in the game, especially the huge creatures, often have special characteristics. That is, the digestive system is particularly powerful. Even metal can be digested, strengthening the skin of the body to form a special metal layer. The spikes and minions that exudes metallic luster are obviously creatures with such characteristics.

The most terrifying thing is that there is not only one such monster, but several. If it is just a demonized giant lizard, then the Xianghu Brothers, which has tens of thousands of players, will not be afraid. After all, the total number of players with combat power in the entire guild is at least 7,000, and even if the opponent is strong, they can be piled up to death with people. But there are still demonized soldiers coming out from behind, which is different.

The president of the Xianghu Brotherhood made a decision the moment he got the situation, which was to completely give up this resource point that was very important to his territory. You should know that a mine that produces metal ore is very important for the development of a territory. There are only two ore areas in the entire Hugodi territory, one of which is located in the territory of Baron Kemal Dahl in the Aboriginal Noble Alliance. Unfortunately, that mining area is a poor mining area. The metal ingot produced in a month is only a few hundred kilograms, which is not enough to make a few sets of armor.

However, the mine controlled by the Xianghu Brotherhood is the most important mining area in the entire Hugodi territory. It produces more than five tons of ore every month, which does not include those rare Mitsunian companion minerals and gems. Basically, after the Xianghu Brotherhood takes over this place, it can provide the guild with a net income of thousands of gold coins or even tens of thousands of gold coins every month. Give up such a resource point, which can be said to be under considerable pressure for the president, but he is very clear that if he does not give up this resource point, there is no power to defend his territory. This territory that only has a castle and a village is the foundation of the entire Xianghu Brotherhood. In order to build this place, everyone invests money in it. If the resource point is gone, it can be snatched back. If the territory is gone, it will not even be snatched back.

Therefore, the president made a combat strategy to keep his territory carefully. After checking the number of demonized soldiers, all the players sent out retreated. Then he began to dig trenches around the territory and strengthen the city walls. A large number of simple stone-towers and stone-towers were made to strengthen the defense of the territory and prepare to welcome the army of the former lord.

But what made the president feel bloody was that he tried his best to strengthen his defensive position, and the final news was that the army that ran out of the underground mine ran towards Chen Kai's Berkner Town. After hearing this news, the player president named Li Feng almost vomited blood without anger. However, he still issued an alarm to Chen Kai. After all, Chen Kai bought a lot of metal ore from him, and also provided him with some armor taken off the demonized soldiers, which was considered a customer with good relationships. So he didn't want Chen Kai to throw it away at once. Of course, he would never want Chen Kai to have nothing to do. After all, everyone is looking for food in the same place. Although there is no conflict now, it does not mean that they will not fight each other over development issues in the future. Therefore, the two sides are also competitive in addition to being trading partners. Therefore, the president cut off a zero egg in terms of the number of demonized soldiers.

Of course, Chen Kai would not completely believe in the words of his future competitors. Although he is not a cunning businessman who has been struggling in the mall for half his life, he knows very well what kind of enemies he will face in the future. So he directly asked a question mark for the number of hundreds of demonized soldiers. However, on the surface, he still had to express his gratitude to the boss of the Xianghu Brotherhood. As for how to curse the other party in his heart, it was another matter.

But then again, even though Chen Kai knew that the other party might be deceiving him, Chen Kai hoped that what the president said was true. After all, hundreds of demonized soldiers are not a serious problem for the territory, but it is almost impossible in reality. If there were only a few hundred demonized soldiers, the other party would not mobilize so much to release news to Chen Kai. If there were hundreds of demonized soldiers, Chen Kai would never believe that the combat power of more than 7,000 players of the Xianghu Brotherhood would not be able to eat it. Unless these hundreds of demonized soldiers were all cavalry riding demonized war horses, the president would be unhappy to start when he was afraid of his own losses. After all, hundreds of sets of armor of demonized soldiers were a considerable wealth.

Therefore, Chen Kai could only choose to send troops to continuously search the surrounding areas. While preventing the demonized soldiers from entering, he also made sufficient combat preparations. Of course, if the other party came from the north of the city, Chen Kai was not worried. Because the defense ability in the north of Berkner Town was much stronger than that in the south. In the past, Chen Kai considered that there was a castle in the south, so when building defensive weapons, the weapons arranged in the north were more than the southern city walls. Of course, these city defense weapons were non-standard weapons made later. If they were the first to spend money to the standard equipment behind the prime minister, they would be evenly arranged.

However, after purchasing some metal ingots from the Xianghu Brotherhood, those non-standard city defense weapons were strengthened to a certain extent. At least the crossbows on the bed crossbows are no longer all wooden crossbows, at least they are equipped with polished metal arrows and reinforced confinements.

In fact, when Chen Kai sounded the alarm, the demonized soldiers of the brigade appeared in the north of Berkner Town. By the time the soldiers climbed the city wall, the robber troops of the former lord were less than two kilometers away from Chen Kai's city. Chen Kai, holding a telescope, could clearly see the huge demonized giant lizards in front of him, with their bodies as big as flying dragons, and their bodies were more than three meters tall, but they were still non-dragon creatures or could only be classified as lizards. However, Chen Kai would never ignore their combat power. Although the size of the monsters in the game is not necessarily proportional to the combat power, at least in some cases he is really proportional. The body size not only allows the monsters to have a better vision, but also obtain more powerful strength. The most important thing is to easily produce a crushing effect.

Guan Yu, who possesses the Holy Armor Blade, has dueled Chen Kai no less than three times in the past half month, but every time he was beaten by Chen Kai, he ran away in a panic. Of course, it was a situation where neither side was suitable for sharp weapons. Guan Yu used an ordinary Daguan knife without a sharp edge, and Chen Kai was holding an ordinary mace. But as a result, the most serious injury was Guan Yu at the end of the battle, not only because Chen Kai had more physical attributes than Guan Yu, but more importantly, his terrifying height could easily cause a downward crushing effect. To block the opponent's attack, Chen Kai could block completely without injury, but it was difficult for Guan Yu to be completely unharmed when facing the top-down attacks that Chen Kai relied on his height. Several times he was hammered directly into the ground by Chen Kai with a mace and smashed it on the ground.

Guan Yu once asked Chen Kai to give up using heavy weapons, but Chen Kai replaced it with the spear, but the result of this battle was even worse. Chen Kai, who attacked from top to bottom, could fully exert a stronger attack effect. Even if Guan Yu's defense measures were very good, Chen Kai seemed to have many flaws. Because Chen Kai had a higher body than the opponent, he could attack all areas around his body. By the same token, those demonized lizards with a height of three or four meters would never be lower than Chen Kai's combat power, and at the same time, the dynamic visual ability of the lizard can definitely capture any object in motion. Therefore, it is absolutely a dream to approach such a monster in motion. In Chen Kai's opinion, the result of approaching the opponent at high speed was to be directly hit by the lizard's tongue like a catapult, and then eaten instantly, just like the flying moths in the animal world that Chen Kai saw when he was a child.

Just by observing through the telescope, Chen Kai roughly saw a way of attacking these demonized lizards, but he didn't know if the other party had other special abilities. However, Chen Kai was not worried about these. If the other party ran to attack the castle in the south, Chen Kai might be worried, but if the other party attacked his own town, then Chen Kai was not worried at all. He believed that the two magic crystal cannons on the city wall would surprise the demonized soldiers. As long as these demonized soldiers dared to approach the city wall within one kilometer of the city wall, Chen Kai would definitely surprise the other party. Of course, he hoped that they would attack five hundred meters before they attacked.

The distance between two kilometers is not far, but it is not close. Perhaps it is to put enough pressure on Chen Kai and the others. The closer they get to the city wall, the slower they move. They keep knocking on the shield in their hands, making beast-like roars. But the troops of the former lords didn't know. When they gradually approached the city wall, they had actually stepped into the abyss of death. When these demonized soldiers approached the city wall less than 500 meters, Fei Yun, who had already aimed at them for a long time, decisively pressed the launch button of the magic crystal cannon, and a red light instantly shot through the head of the magic giant lizard. The monster was directly pierced through the head without even one attack, and the huge head exuded a strong burnt fragrance. The body of the magic giant lizard did not fall directly to the ground, but fell down after the third magic crystal cannon fire. The dull nervous system still kept it running for more than ten meters at its original speed.

When the red light fired from the second magic crystal cannon began to bombard the formation of the magic soldiers, it was difficult for all players present to believe that such weapons existed in the magic world. Because most players have never seen the magic crystal cannon firing. Not every lord can afford small magic crystal cannons. Chen Kai can now be regarded as a VIP customer in the dwarf underground black market. Because he has already bought and sold millions of gold coins in total. Of course, they would rather buy Chen Kaizang than buy Chen Kaizang.

The holy creation weapons in the treasure house were regarded as collections, especially the ancient tree scepter brought out from Khedira who had no knowledge of the attributes. When Chen Kai took it out, the boss of the dwarf black market in the imperial capital instantly yelled at a high price of 10 million gold coins. However, the other party kept silent and ignored the origin of the thing. In the end, Chen Kai chose to put it away, but he still sold it to the other party some tree roots. These tree roots have very good magical conductivity, and it is definitely the best material to make a staff.

As for whether the other party would reveal that Chen Kai had such things, unless the underground black market did not want to continue to operate, he could sell such information to the store. Such behavior would definitely hit the credibility of the dwarf underground black market for thousands of people to establish. Once this credibility is destroyed, it would have to pay a greater price to establish again. In fact, when Chen Kai heard that price, he had plans to sell it, but when the other party exposed the price, it was too sudden, and at the same time he refused to tell the secret of the ancient tree scepter. So Chen Kai finally chose to keep the scepter. Of course, even so, Chen Kai was a VIP customer of the dwarf underground black market, so the magic crystal cannon shells distributed were definitely enough for Chen Kai to shoot out thousands of shells in luxury.

Each red magic crystal cannon light has the penetration power of a seventh-level spell, and its damage power is also very terrifying. If the demonized giant lizard is one kilometer away, the magic crystal cannon will at most damage rather than kill, but the opponent is less than five hundred meters away from the city wall, so its head is finally shot through. Red magic lights keep flashing in the square formation of the demonized soldiers. As the light emits these lights, crossbow arrows are constantly being stimulated, and the huge rocks thrown by the stone caster are overwhelming. At this moment, the city defense of Berkner Town revealed its fangs, or the claws of the lion, instantly slapped all jackals who dared to provoke the lion.

Although the demonized soldiers of the former lord were almost without fear, they eventually collapsed under the extremely dense attack of crossbows and stone catapults. The demonized soldiers at the commander level were taken care of and their bodies were shot through before they even got close to the city wall. This time, the number of demonized soldiers attacking Chen Kai's city was much smaller than the last time, but there were more than two thousand, but half of them were lost before they got close to the city wall.

When they approached the city wall, the two suspension bridges on the city gate suddenly fell down, and then two teams of cavalry composed of thousands of people rushed down from the suspension bridge in an instant. Although only one-third were indigenous cavalry and the rest were all for players, even so, they could easily exert the power of cavalry charge. The cavalry that launched the charge from top to bottom instantly entered the team of half-destroyed demonized soldiers. The demonized soldiers who had finally passed through rockfalls and bed crossbows were trampled to death by horse hooves or directly on the cavalry spear before they could get close to the city wall. There were several demonized soldiers who were dismembered by Guan Yu with one knife. To be continued...
