Chapter 252 The trade winds from the north (5)
The traditional summer in Berkner Town starts from July of the game. If calculated according to the time span, this is already the second summer for Chen Kai and his team in the game. Although less than a year has passed in reality, the time in the game is about to pass two or three times the speed of the game. For some people, they can spend a longer life in the game, especially those who have already lived in reality and cherish their lives more.
For these people, the battle in the game is something they want to stay away from, because the purpose of entering the game is to cherish their originally small lives and to use their life in less than a year or even a few months to live twice or even twice the wonderful time.
But for most people, they enter the game not to waste their little remaining life in the game, but to leave the most exciting page on their own life path. The boring and numb life in reality makes these people choose to enter the game to escape reality, and they do find what they want in the game, and even earn wealth that they cannot earn in reality through the game.
However, the few who can earn wealth are the most numerous, and the complex environment in the game that is not inferior to reality allows players entering the game world to suffer losses in addition to making money. Hugodi's two major guilds will be kicked out of the game, which is obviously a typical example. No matter how real players discuss the Xianghu Brotherhood in the forum, or whether Zhuoer and the Taurus are too strong in combat, they cannot change the ending of the two guilds being eliminated in Hugodi's power.
However, humans are real animals, and they will not give too much sympathy to losers. In fact, even if the Iron Cavalry and the Zodiac Alliance criticize Li Xiangrong and the Xianghu Brotherhood on the real online forum, they cannot change their identity as losers. In this case, some of the players of Hugodi's Iron Cavalry and the Zodiac Alliance chose to follow Feng Buyun and Qi Shaohuang to develop to other territories, while others chose to stay in Hugodi to find opportunities to stumbling over the Xianghu Brotherhood, while others chose to leave the two guilds under the action of others poaching. They either chose to join other player guilds of Hugodi, or simply became a small adventure group or mercenary group organized by a single player.
For Hugodi's indigenous lords, their favorite thing is that players become Sanren or small mercenary groups. As long as Sanren players choose to stay in a certain territory, the lords of this territory can recruit these players in a state of war. As for small mercenary groups, the same is true for those lords to collect the Sanren players, but the lords pay far less to collect the Sanren players than to small mercenary groups. If Chen Kai chooses, he hopes that the small mercenary groups in his territory can be more than Sanren players. Because Sanren's combat power and character are really unavailable. Relatively speaking, the formally registered small mercenary groups can at least be guaranteed in terms of combat power and character, unless they are willing to give up the reputation they have finally accumulated in the Mercenary Guild. However, the small mercenary groups that have just been established basically do not have much reputation, so even if they are disbanded immediately after establishment, it is probably not much hindering them.
After the two guilds disbanded, only half of the players who followed their president to leave Hugodi as the original members. Of course, everyone knows that basically the elites in the guild are the ones who follow. Players who choose to stay in Hugodi or leave alone are basically either too poor in their strength and not being noticed by the top leaders of the guild, or people who want to take risks alone in participating in such a profitless battle. However, even though most of them are miscellaneous fish, the huge base also makes these players who are abandoned by the top leaders or choose to leave themselves the targets that most of Hugodi player lords and even the indigenous lords compete for.
Chen Kai did not think about fighting for this group of players, but sometimes the more he didn't fight for it, the more people he sent to his door. Compared with the player guild territories and the aboriginal aristocratic territories in the north, the town of Berkner in the south is much more relaxed in both city defense facilities and money-making. Therefore, even if Chen Kai did not extend an olive branch to these players, a large group of people still came to ask for support. If Chen Kai chose to establish a trade union organization, tens of thousands of players might choose to join in a very short time.
Unfortunately, he didn't have this idea. Chen Kai also had restrictions on the Blood Crusade, which was considered relatively large in Berkner Town, was relaxed by Chen Kai. Chen Kai even gave Mogleni a target for establishing a village as an indicator of the territory of Berkner Town. However, Mogleni, the president of the Blood Crusade, was very clear about the fact that it was just a matter of seeking death when building a village at this moment. He knew more clearly that the current development of the Blood Crusade would lead to a village that he had finally accumulated.
Seeing Chen Kai's spending speed, Moglani had completely abandoned the idea of being a great lord in the game. Although his name was the name of the great lord in a game in the past, no matter how powerful the name was, it could not be used as money. Compared with the family savings of the Blood Crusaders, even if they could build a very good village, Moglani knew that such a so-called goodness only allowed more than 3,000 brothers under his command to eat bread every day. Because the infrastructure cost required for the establishment of a village alone was enough to empty the funds of the Blood Crusaders, the village that was originally established could not survive in the current world where Zoer and Taurus were rampant in defense or other aspects. If you want to make the village solid, then fortress-like construction is the only choice, and this would inevitably use a large amount of rock and metal, which would lead to a crazy increase in construction prices.
So although Moglani was very moved to see Chen Kai's advice, he still chose to refuse considering his worth. Because he knew very well that his family was in the town of Berkner, the Dangdang Mercenary Group might still be able to eat meat, but if he really returned to his old business and went to build a village, he might really go from eating meat to drinking soup or clear soup.
At the same time, he was more aware that Chen Kai's suggestion was proposed after the Tauren approached Berkner Town, so he could not help but doubt Chen Kai's intentions. Because at this time, if the Blood Crusaders established a village in the wild, the only benefit was to become a bridgehead for Berkner Town to resist the invasion of Zoer. So Moglani directly rejected Chen Kai's simplicity, of course, it could not be said to be completely rejected. Instead, he planned to take a look after it for a while.
However, Chen Kai didn't have much thought about Moglani's rejection of his proposal. In fact, he was just trying to test it. Chen Kai himself knew very well that if he was in a different place, he would have the same answer as Moglani. If the other party agreed, then Chen Kai would not only not be happy, but would be alert to the other party.
After a few days, the number of permanent players in Berkner Town increased from 20,000 to 30,000, and the number of Blood Crusaders also increased to nearly 6,000. However, the increase in the number of people did not enhance the combat effectiveness of Blood Crusaders. On the contrary, the newly joined the team became a big drag. Because most of them were lower in the level of the Iron Cavalry and the Zodiac Alliance. If it weren't for this, how could they stay in Hugodi and not follow their boss to other places.
After a period of increase or decrease in personnel, the permanent population of Berkner Town is almost approaching 10,000. 50,000 indigenous humans plus 3,000 taurists, plus 30,000 resident players and the Blood Crusaders who are not in the end. The huge population makes Berkner Town the most powerful town in Hugodi, of course, just referring to the population. If you convert combat power, the terrifying Zoer and the Tartar Chen Kai are still insufficient. Although the player can be temporarily recruited, he
Our combat power is not strong enough. Perhaps Chen Kai could only spend a lot of money to use them as suicide squads in the end. Although nearly 30% of the more than 30,000 players used bloody mode to fight, even if they used such a high-realistic mode to fight, it was still a problem. Among the ten players who used bloody mode to fight, perhaps only two could have the same combat power as the indigenous soldiers, perhaps only three or four of them could have the same combat power as the elite soldiers, and perhaps only one of the thousand could have the same combat power as Su Xinghe and their heights.
But I don't believe that among the more than 30,000 players in Berkner Town, there are only more than 100 people in the Blood Crusade who can reach the level of elite soldiers, and there is no one who can be equal to Su Xinghe and others in combat power. Of course, except for some of the results caused by equipment, the most important thing is the reason for skills. Chen Kai and his team learn the worst fighting spirit, the intermediate fighting spirit. The important members basically choose to spend money to learn advanced fighting spirit at the beginning of the game. Apart from Chen Kai, the other people have reached the level of mastering some fighting spirit attributes. This is just this one, their combat power has been pulled out several streets for ordinary players, and Chen Kai spared no effort to equip them with the best equipment, or they gave themselves the best equipment, resulting in the combat power level being pulled out at least ten streets for ordinary players. Even Hulans, who has the worst fighting spirit, can fight three or four ordinary soldiers alone. Chen Kai and his team can fight at least a dozen elite soldiers alone.
Of course, this kind of single-handed fight still refers to the normal state. If Chen Kai is in a violent state, no one will run to him to fight him in a single-handed fight, unless it is an existence with a level above Chen Kai's third and fourth levels or does not know that Chen Kai is in a violent state. If you know, you will basically hide as far as you can, because everyone knows that the lord of Berkner Town will be very perverted after being violent.
When the players were busy allocating the personnel left by the two major guilds and then working hard to prepare for the war, the Xianghu Brothers players found that their president met with another indigenous people with a cloak, that is, NPC. However, not many people knew about this news, and they all received a closure order issued by their president. However, this closure order may be valid for other people from the Xianghu Brothers, but for Roberts Children's Shoes, who was determined to become a spy buried by Chen Kaishen beside Li Xiangrong, it was absolutely invalid.
When this guy with a cloak appeared in Li Xiangrong's lord's mansion for the first time, Roberts's Children's Shoes sold the news to Chen Kai at a high price. When the other party came to Xianghu Town for the second time and met Li Xiangrong, Fei Yun's figure appeared beside Roberts's Children's Shoes, followed behind his butt and used shadow escape to slowly sneak into the lord's mansion in Xianghu Town.
Because Chen Kai and the others provided a lot of information to Roberts in the underground world, and his fast running characteristics were discovered by Li Xiangrong. Now Roberts has changed from an unknown small character in the past to a squadron leader level who can easily enter the lord's mansion in Xianghu Town, but this is the first time he has done the task of bringing Fei Yun into the lord's mansion. Therefore, when he passed through the "his own people" sentry, he was almost frightened and sweaty.
"Don't worry! It's okay! Be careful, I'll sneak in and take a look first!" When Fei Yun's voice sounded behind Robles, he had no idea that Fei Yun had followed his butt to approach the Lord's Mansion. When he realized it, Fei Yun had disappeared while Robles touched the sweat on his forehead and chose to wander in the Lord's Mansion for a while before preparing to go out.
At this moment, Fei Yun, who was covered with various magical gems, had his invisibility for a period of time, even by Leif, a voyeur, so he could easily touch many places without Roberts as a cover. However, with the other party as a shield, he could do it easier and less trouble. But even if Fei Yun had touched the Lord's Mansion, he didn't know where Li Xiangrong and the guy wearing a cloak met. Although Roberts's children's shoes were already considered middle-level personnel in the Xianghu Brotherhood, he could not completely freely enter and exit all areas of the entire Lord's Mansion. Even though the structural drawings of the Xianghu Town Lord's Mansion had long been sold to Chen Kai, Fei Yun also knew the situation of all areas of the entire Lord's Mansion, but that was just the content on the simple drawings.
Therefore, Fei Yun was still very careful in exploring it. When he found Li Xiangrong's location, the other party had already talked with Li Xiangrong. In fact, if it weren't for Li Xiangrong's sudden breaking of a cup, Fei Yun wouldn't know that the other party was hiding a place away from him.
Unfortunately, even though he knew that the other party was right next to him, Fei Yun did not dare to touch him immediately, but could only choose to lie on the wall and steal the sky. Unfortunately, the sound insulation effect of the wall was relatively better, and the sound of President Li and the man with cloak were not loud, except for the crisp sound of the cup before, Fei Yun heard the only few words that were assassination. Covering and benefiting you afterwards. Fei Yun knew very well what he should do now. He was not the kind of person who sacrificed his life for intelligence, and the news he heard now had been enough for him to digest for a long time. So he almost chose to transfer immediately after the other party's chat and ran out of the room very quickly.
Less than ten seconds after Fei Yun left the room, the wall where he was originally lying was suddenly broken, and a pale palm stretched out from behind the wall. The huge force attached to his palm made everything in the room feel like it was blown by a hurricane. If Fei Yun was still in the room at this moment, he would definitely not be able to escape the discovery. But Fei Yun, who was extremely vigilant, had already run away, especially when he felt the sound from the room not far behind, his movement speed doubled. The spells and gems that he did not intend to use were also used under such stimulation, making his speed faster. His steps were lighter and his figure was more concealed.
While Roberts was still wandering around the Lord's Mansion, Fei Yun had already run out of the Lord's Mansion alone. He even chose not to say hello to Roberts. After leaving the Lord's Mansion for a distance, he opened the teleportation scroll and ran to Berkner Town. The whole process was completed in less than five minutes, and at that time, Li Xiangrong barely issued an order to let the city enter martial law and prohibit everyone from entering and leaving.
When Fei Yun returned to Berkner Town, news of Li Xiangrong's martial law and warfare in Xianghu Town also came. Although the martial law was lifted in less than ten minutes, Chen Kai and the others knew the news that they should know in the opponent's camp. However, Fei Yun's huge price was not very clear about the information obtained. Although they knew that Li Xiangrong planned to launch an assassination with the guy wearing a cloak, it was not clear who the cloaked man was.
However, although it is not clear who was the target of assassination, both Chen Kai and Xu Fei put a key mark on the old fox Li Xiangrong. If the opponent wanted to assassinate the personnel in Zhuoer, it would be fine to say, but if the target was the indigenous lords of humanity, then Li Xiangrong's camp would be very doubtful. So Chen Kai immediately began to let players pay attention to whether anyone in Hu Gedi was assassinated. Of course, this attention was not immediately. After all, the other party had just started to communicate, and it would not be a short time to launch the assassination. However, Chen Kai did not know that the cloaked man wanted Li Xiangrong to cooperate with the assassination target was not someone else, and the official Baron Berkner was Chen Kai himself.
If Chen Kai knew about it, he would definitely launch an attack in advance and uproot Xianghu Town. Because of this, when Count Hugodi, who was wearing a cloak, found someone to eavesdrop, Li Xiangrong was very nervous. If someone knew that he had colluded with Count Hugodi, he would not have to hang out in the human camp. At the same time, if the person in the south knew that he was going to assassinate him with Count Hugodi, Li Xiangrong knew that he would definitely be attacked by the other party first. Of course, he also knew that as long as the other party had no direct evidence to prove that he rebelled, the identity of the lord was his best amulet.
