Although Surdak didn't know many nobles in Bena City, he was very familiar with the thirteen lord armies that reinforced the Ganbu plane.
These lord armies can be regarded as the strongest lord armies in various cities in the province of Bena, including the Collins family, the Mende family, the Owen family, the Dunstan family, the Constable family, the Bottom family, and the Fordix family.
etc.
These families also occupy at least one city in the Bena Province. They also own a large amount of territory in other planes, and they also have a large number of lords' legions.
It is these legions stationed in various planes of the Bena Province that make the situation in the Bena Province the most optimistic among the many provinces in the Green Empire.
So much so that Duke Newman's confidence was extremely inflated because of this, and he sent the most elite Bena Legion in the Bena Province to the Warsaw plane to participate in the war against the Sanae Evil Ghost Legion.
This war has been going on for nearly four years and has consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources. The most uncomfortable thing right now is that the main force of the Bena Legion cannot withdraw from the Warsaw plane for the time being.
A year ago, Duke Newman was reluctant to abandon Handanar County in the Warsaw plane. At the same time, he was also looking forward to seeing some improvement in the Warsaw plane this year, and then selling Handanar County at a good price.
Hopefully other Grand Dukes will be willing to take over this mess.
But in fact, as Duke Ryan Busman, the lord of the Warsaw plane, made two consecutive mistakes in the imperial capital, offending the Green Empire Magic Union on the one hand, and offending the Angel Bould royal family of the Green Empire on the other,
As a result, the Royal Constructed Knights withdrew their troops from the Warsaw plane, and the entire Warsaw plane immediately turned into a quagmire of war.
In just one year, all the princes involved in this plane war were deeply involved.
Duke Newman was reluctant to give up Handanar County last year, but now he really can't give up the 200,000 troops stationed in the Warsaw plane by the Bena Army.
It was also under this circumstance that Duke Newman hoped that the Bena Province Military Headquarters could organize a heavy armored infantry regiment to go to the Warsaw plane, so that the infantry soldiers who had reached the retirement deadline could return to the Bena Province in batches.
Originally, the military headquarters was planning to distribute the 20,000 heavy armored infantry among the lords, but unexpectedly the war situation in the Ganbu plane turned around.
It was also Marquis Luther who proposed at the military meeting to fund the resistance forces of the Ganbu plane and form a heavy armored infantry corps. In fact, this investment by the military was a huge profit, not only liberating the Ganbu plane in one fell swoop, but also spending a lot of money.
After acquiring only 70,000 magic crystals, they gained 20,000 elite heavy armored infantry soldiers.
Now, 20,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers have successfully arrived in the Warsaw plane.
The military does not care who rules the Ganbu plane, but the prerequisite is that the Ganbu plane must belong to the territory of the Bena province.
Surdak seized this opportunity and established a deep friendship with these thirteen lord armies through the war in the Ganbu plane.
At the same time, everyone's interests have been tied together. Only by making the Ganbu plane gradually prosperous can the other thirteen lords realize the value-added of their territory and industry.
Therefore, at this dance, although the marquises behind the thirteen lord armies were in their respective cities and had no time to attend the investiture ceremony, they all sent family members who could represent themselves and rushed to Bena City to watch the ceremony.
At this dance, the noble sons of the thirteen lord armies approached Surdak one after another.
Of course, what they are most concerned about is what will happen next in the Ganbu plane, and they told Suldak that if they are short of money and people, they can sit down together and discuss it again.
The implication behind the words is that if Surdak divides the cake more, they will come forward to solve the funding problem of the infrastructure in the Ganbu plane.
However, the most these noble children can do is deliver a message, and they do not have the final decision-making power.
At this dance, everyone got together purely to get to know each other, and then see if there is any possibility of cooperation in the future.
So Surdak also has his own small circle, and these young people are the successors of the consuls of various cities. They don't care about the local young nobles of Bena City at all...
…
Edie learned about Surdak's identity a little later, and his face was livid for a while, but he did not threaten to continue to cause trouble for Surdak.
He also put his arm around the shoulders of Grant and Cole, and took the initiative to apologize and said: "It's my fault for not investigating the matter clearly, and you will be implicated in some way."
Hearing Edie's initiative to say this, Cole Norton immediately said: "I don't care. The relationship between the Norton and Luther families is not good to begin with, and this will not affect me at all."
Grant stretched out a hand and said: "I have offended Hathaway and the new earl this time, but compared with the friendship between us, these are trivial things..."
Other young nobles patted the back of Grant's hand one after another, and everyone supported Grant very much.
…
Later in the dance, Suldak felt a little bored here, so he left the party early with Hathaway and Beatrice.
Marquis Luther and Lady Marianne had returned to the Marquis Mansion early at this time.
In fact, the reason why Marquis Luther came to attend this ball was purely to support Duke Newman. After all, Duke Newman could not attend this ball, so he invited the Marquis who lives in Bena City and asked everyone to come forward to make this ball grand.
Some.
Suldak, Hathaway and Beatrice ran out of Duke Newman's castle. They clearly saw the magic caravan of the Marquis Mansion waiting in front of the square, but Hathaway grabbed Suldak.
He took out a card from his bag and wrote a line on it: 'We leave first! Hathaway'
Then Hathaway put the card and five silver coins into the hands of the attendant at Duke Newman's Palace, and told him: "When the ball is over, give this note to the coachman over there...
"
Then the group of people walked to the street outside Duke Newman's Castle, which was only separated by an inland river from the most prosperous commercial street in the aristocratic district.
If you want to reach the busy shopping street on the other side of the river, you have to walk 800 meters along the river to see an arched stone bridge, and then you have to walk the same distance back to the shopping street on the other side of the river...
So just as Hathaway and Beatrice were discussing how to go around to the other side, Thea held up her skirt with both hands and stepped into the river.
The two ladies were so frightened that they let out a scream. They were about to rush over to rescue Sia, but they found that Sia was standing on the river easily. This was not walking on water, but a huge wave lifting Sia up.
, Thea reached out to Hathaway and Beatrice and pulled them to the waves, and Suldak also took the opportunity to jump on.
A huge wave carried the four people to the other side, and the waves did not even splash on the skirt of Hathaway's evening dress.
