In the autumn of the Bailin plane, the vast grassland is like a golden wheat field.
Under the hot sun, a tablecloth was spread on the grass, and the prepared sausages, bread and juice were laid out. Lying on the grass with a gentle slope, one could see the sheep in the distance.
This is the grassland in the southern part of Dodan Town, and Xigna and Nika are running around with their skirts in hand.
They catch those large, fat, yellow grasshoppers on the grass. There are white-striped glass grass everywhere here, but around the harvest festival, these needle-like glass-trough leaves will become withered and yellow, and the one in the middle will turn yellow.
There are some grass seeds on the ears, and some of them will be blown by the wind into the fields.
The Dodan River is sparkling in the distance, and a row of riverside wooden houses have been built on the north bank of the river, which looks very neat and elegant.
The Temple of the Two Goddess is located next to the wooden house on the riverside, and has now become a much-talked-about place in Dodan Town.
The Warrior Academy in Duodan Town opened a month ago, and children from wealthy families from more than a dozen nearby towns all went to the Warrior Academy in Duodan Town to attend school.
The number of students enrolled in the first academic year reached more than 600. The teachers of the college came from three places. The garrison camp in Duodan Town sent ten instructors to be responsible for military training, and the town hall of Duodan Town sent two secretaries to take charge of military training.
The college is operating normally and has hired more than a dozen cleaners, cooks, and gardeners from the town. Even the owners of leather shops, tailor shops, and blacksmith shops in the town have become honorary instructors of the college.
Selina also wrote a letter to the governor of Wilkes City Florian in the name of Suldak, asking him to help find a few people in Wilkes City who were willing to come to Dodan Town to work as teachers.
Scholars are mainly responsible for children's intellectual enlightenment. It doesn't matter if they are a little knowledgeable, the important thing is that their reputation must be good.
Selena sat on the tablecloth and arranged the lunch she had brought.
Aphrodite was lying aside basking in the sun. She didn't even cover the devil's horns in her hair. She closed her eyes and softly hummed a song from the kobold tribe:
‘Turn, turn, turn, turn…
Be kind to me when you are here...
So you have to be nice to me...
Turn, turn, turn, turn...'
Suldak lay on Selena's lap without any scruples, enjoying the sunshine and the delicious food Selena handed over from time to time.
Surdak looked at Selena with a blush on her face under the sun and said:
"I have to continue to work hard for you here, and I will continue to stay on the battlefield for four months. But even if I come back, I have to go to the Ganbu plane to deal with the affairs of Mukuso City, and I have to come from Ke.
Earl Cushing handed over Luyint City, and I don’t want to give up the territory here, after all, the copper mine will bring a huge output every month.”
Selena stopped and listened quietly.
During these days when she was the acting mayor, she already had the air of a superior person about her.
"After I return to Luyint, I will start developing the iron ore on the edge of the Great Rift Valley in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest." Suldak continued.
Selena widened her eyes and asked, "You want to build an iron mine?"
Surdak looked at the rolling grassland in the distance, exhaled a long breath and said: "Not only do I want to build an iron mine, I am also planning to build a steel workshop in Dodan Town, which will be used in Invercargill Forest.
The ore is transported to Dodan Town for smelting and the steel ingots are sold to merchants passing by."
Selena put a piece of cheese on a piece of bread, stuffed it into Suldak's mouth, and said, "Just do whatever you want, and I will always support you in the future."
Her long chestnut hair is coiled on top of her head, with a somewhat dazzling sheen. Her neck is somewhat long, and when she lowers her head, she can see her delicate collarbones.
Suldak reached out and pinched her pointed chin, pulled her head lower, and kissed her soft lips.
At this moment, an inappropriate voice reached their ears.
Aphrodite almost stuck to their faces, using the sweet voice of a succubus, which seemed to have the power of charm, and said to Selena:
"Hey, Selina, don't be so stupid, okay? He held a noble lady in his arms and played with each other every night in the castle of Luyint City, and then asked you to help him look after this county. Isn't this possible?
Can you explain something?"
Selina's pretty face turned red, she struggled to push Suldak away, took out an apple and handed it to Aphrodite, and counterattacked casually:
"What about you! How can you be better than me? You're not just stupid and being ordered by him to run around..."
Aphrodite was rendered speechless by Selena's counterattack, and sat there in a daze, saying in a daze:
"We must be under this guy's spell! Let the loneliness and sadness accumulate every night, and one day they will turn into wings and help me break out of this cage!"
Surdak raised his head and saw the falcon flying in the sky in the distance, and asked Aphrodite:
"Hey, is that your freedom?"
"You guy..."
Aphrodite hit Surdak hard, stood up angrily and tried to walk away.
Surdak hurriedly grabbed Aphrodite's hand from behind. Aphrodite only struggled symbolically, and then gently sat down next to the tablecloth.
There was no trace of the enchanting aura of a succubus on her body, and she did not look at Selena who was teasing at the side, and just asked:
"I heard there was some trouble over there?"
When Surdak heard Aphrodite asking this question, he patted his forehead in distress and said helplessly:
"Well, many people don't like Commander Felix. Whether it's the empire or the hell demons, some people hope that he will step down or simply die."
Aphrodite rearranged her long fluffy hair, hid the devil's horns in her hair, and said casually:
"If this is the case, why is he still staying on the battlefield? He should have left as soon as possible!"
Surdak sighed and said: "He is a guardian knight and has been pursuing his faith. How could he shrink from the battle?"
Aphrodite defended: "It's not like there are no battlefields in other places."
But after all, the other party is a third-level guardian knight. He is also the commander of at least one legion in the Green Empire and a high-ranking general in the empire.
Surdak said: "He told me that he wanted to completely drive the demon army out of the northern part of the seventh area and let the hell demon army retreat to the south of Death Ridge... because there is a cliff separating the two sides in the middle.
There will be at least a 300-kilometer buffer zone.”
Aphrodite looked at Surdak with a smile and said calmly: "The idea is indeed very good, but I guess there won't be many supporters!"
"Why do you think so?" Surdak asked strangely.
In fact, this is what Surdak couldn't figure out. As Aphrodite said, after Commander Felix launched this military plan, he met many people in the Chaos Fortress empire on the big battlefield.
Obstacle.
Although Commander Felix planned this war, he was very aligned with the interests of the Green Empire.
But as soon as it was proposed at the high-level meeting of Chaos Fortress, it was rejected by a group of people.
Aphrodite smiled and said:
"Because you don't quite understand the nature of war, and not everyone wants peace."
She took a sip of the sweet fruit wine and said to Suldak:
"Power, wealth! There is a seed called 'ambition' in everyone's heart. Once there is sufficient nourishment, it will grow from the bottom of the heart. Do you think you can get it by driving the hell demons to Lingnan?
More peace, but some people don’t think so. Those warmongers will get everything they want in the war, but what can peace bring them?”
Surdak rubbed his face vigorously with both hands and said: "This topic is really heavy..."
Aphrodite took the opportunity to ask: "Felix must have done something very annoying recently, or maybe he did it before. Do you know what he did?"
Suldak shook his head and said nothing.
He was not Commander Felix's adjutant, so how could he possibly know.
Under the influence of Selena, the native people in Dodan Town have basically become believers of the Dark Goddess. They have even received some blessings from the goddess, at least they no longer have nightmares at night.
Some imperial immigrants in the town also began to try to believe in the goddess of darkness, but at the same time they also believed in light, and these people found that even with dual beliefs, they seemed to have the tacit approval of the two goddesses.
However, in the town of Dodan, the number of believers of the Dark Goddess is obviously larger, and these dark believers are even found in the indigenous tribes of Invercargill Forest.
Xigna and Nika caught a basket of grasshoppers and planned to take them back to their neighbor, Mrs. Luna, who had several hens in her yard.
Tomorrow morning, Aphrodite will follow the Thunder Rhino Merchant Group into the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. Her first stop will be at the copper mine, and then she will visit a few indigenous tribes based on the situation there.
After all, winter is coming soon, and Suldak is worried about the winter storage problem of the indigenous tribes.
However, the copper mine is currently operating normally, and the caravans here also enter the Invercargill Forest twice a month. Not only do they have to transport a large amount of copper ingots, they also transport a large amount of materials, part of which is digested by the copper mine.
, and the other part dispersed into the Aboriginal tribes of Invercargill Forest.
In addition, as winter is coming soon, the Poison Mist Swamp around the Dark Worm Valley will soon receive heavy snow baptism.
When the poisonous fog dissipates, it's time for the adventure group and the mercenary group to enter the Dark Worm Valley to hunt the ghost-marked red ants.
In the autumn, many adventure groups from all over the world gathered at the Chain Bridge Camp on the north bank of the Great Rift Valley in the Invercargill Forest. They were all patiently waiting for this killing feast in the winter.
Almost all of the businesses opened in Duodan Town want to do business with ghost-striped red ants.
Duodan Town is like a sprouting seed in the south of the canyon. The two leaf pods stretching out from the canyon are the two residential areas of the town. The whole town has expanded a lot to the south. The population of the town is almost larger than that of Sur.
Duck doubled when he first arrived.
The town's fiscal revenue has also increased ten times compared to when Surdak first came...
