The wheels run over the bluestone slabs, and the wheels wrapped in raw rubber only feel bumps at the joints of the slabs.
The roads in the Noble Quarter are in very good condition, with beautiful hibiscus flowers planted on both sides.
There are not many pedestrians on both sides of the street, and there are knights from the guard camp patrolling every street corner. They will drive away the vagrants and drunkards wandering on the street, and will also patrol the thieves who often appear here.
For these guard camp knights, thieves who can freely enter and exit noble estates are basically the ones they cannot afford to offend.
There are thieves unions in many cities now. These thieves basically lurk and pick locks. At night, they just need to hide in the shadow somewhere. These guard camp knights are like blind men, even if they walk in front of the thieves with their eyes open,
It's also hard to spot them.
In aristocratic neighborhoods, you can always see some young men and women in gorgeous clothes riding strong horses and walking under the street trees.
For the nobles, wearing a tight-fitting light leather armor, a Western rapier on the waist, and a top hat with red tassels are the most popular clothing at the moment.
There are often gorgeous magic caravans passing by quickly on the road, and Marquis Luther's magic caravan happens to be among them.
Marquis Luther was sitting on the front seat, holding a cup of warm black tea, and said to Suldak who was sitting opposite:
"Before a large-scale plane war broke out between the Green Empire and the Dark Legion, it was very common for the lord armies to form an alliance to explore unknown areas of the plane."
"This kind of war to open up the plane requires the lords to raise a large amount of war preparation materials. The initial investment in the war is still relatively expensive. However, your entry into the Bailin plane this time is another situation. You are in Invercargill Forest.
We already have a territory that is not too small, and now we are just expanding outwards based on this, so we can save a lot of money."
"In addition, Wilkes City in the Bailin plane is fully equipped to expand to the surrounding areas, but there are many lords there who are senior generals of the Bena Army, which means that their army is currently trapped in the Warsaw plane. This has led to the Bailin plane.
The development of the Lin Plane has almost stagnated in the past five years."
"You have become the lord of the Bailin plane. Now you are expanding northward to resist the beast tide that you will face in nine years. This reason is reasonable."
"This time you can withstand the financial pressure from the Ganbu Plane and Ruit City and boldly plan this war plan to open up a new dimension. Not only is the feasibility very high, but as long as you gain victory, you will gain super
High return on profits.”
"As for the military department, there is no resistance at all."
"In the past two years, the military has twice recruited heavy armored infantry soldiers from the Ganbu plane. You have carried out all of them to the letter, so no one will stand up to obstruct this operation."
After hearing what Marquis Luther said, Suldak nodded repeatedly.
No wonder he went to the military headquarters this time to apply for a temporary military camp. When he first saw the application form, the officials in the military headquarters were surprised, but then they signed it readily.
He just arrived in Bena City in the morning, and in just one afternoon, he went through the rental procedures for the camp on the outskirts of Bena City.
In addition to the relationship with Marquis Luther, there is also a series of recent actions by Suldak, all of which have been well recognized by the military.
Marquis Luther put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Suldak with a smile. He felt unspeakably satisfied with the young man in front of him.
Surdak's character can be said to be unassuming. He is calm and restrained with a unique rock-solid temperament. Although he lacks the unremittingly sharp momentum of the Bena swordsman, he is better than stability. He sees that
It looks more like the Knights of the North.
Marquis Luther once traveled to the North, where he saw the construct knights of the North Wind Legion.
At that time, he was arrogant, carrying two broad-edged swords on his back, and did not take any construct knights seriously at all.
However, when he set foot on the northern battlefield and saw the battle between the construct knights of the North Wind Legion and the barbaric warriors of the ice and snow tundra, he realized that the formation formed by the construct swordsmen on the battlefield was actually so weak.
So this time Surdak is planning to form a Constructed Knights. This is a very unusual approach in the Bena Province. This shows that the noble lord has given up the pride of Bena, but Marquis Luther has no intention of Surdak.
The approach is very supportive.
He rubbed his forehead. As he got older, his physical condition had not only declined from his peak, but his mental strength was not that strong either.
I originally wanted to continue talking about Surdak's plan for this plane war, but at this time I was too lazy to continue asking, and just said:
"Great Swordsman Chester is currently still in Wilkes City in the White Forest plane. If you need anything, you can contact him directly. You can mobilize the Luther Army's garrison in the White Forest plane at will, and you can secondment troops from various garrison camps.
All military supplies."
The support Marquis Luther gave... was exactly how he would treat his own son.
In fact, if Luther's Legion had not involved the interests of other noble lords in Bena City, at this time, Marquis Luther would have wanted to hand over the entire Legion to Surdak.
"I know." Suldak said gratefully.
Marquis Luther leaned forward, patted his shoulder with one hand, and said to him:
"Now that you have your own team, you just need to form a real team of Constructed Knights."
He seemed to remember that Surdak had mentioned the formation of the Constructed Knights before, and asked:
"By the way, I heard how is your formation of the Construct Knights going?"
Surdak did not hide anything and answered honestly: "Four squadrons of Constructed Knights have been formed so far,"
I heard that Surdak has almost formed half of the Constructed Knights. This requires Surdak to have at least more than 200 knights with level 1 strength, more than 200 green scale horses, and 200 knights.
Multiple sets of magic pattern structures, this is not a huge amount of wealth that just any noble family can produce.
In just a few years, Surdak grew from a guard camp knight to a plane lord, and accumulated such a large amount of wealth in his hands...
"It's really yours!" Marquis Luther praised.
The two returned to the Marquis Luther's Mansion. Lady Marianne, Hathaway, and Beatrice rarely came out to greet them. Only the housekeeper and a group of servants stood on the steps and saw Marquis Luther get off the carriage.
Salute neatly.
Marquis Luther knew Lady Marianne well. She was the most aristocratic woman, and she was even a bit rigid in this regard.
"Where is the lady?" Marquis Luther asked.
The butler responded in a low voice: "Mrs. Marian and Miss Hathaway are in the small restaurant, waiting for you and Lord Suldak to dine."
Although Marquis Luther was a little confused, he said, "Oh, let's go directly."
At the entrance of the hall, four maids surrounded Marquis Luther, taking off his military uniform and leather armor and putting on a set of loose robes for him.
Surdak followed Marquis Luther, and there were actually four maids who prepared casual clothes for Surdak. Surdak usually liked bloomers and linen shirts, so Hathaway specially customized several sets for him.
.
After changing their clothes, the maid would help them wash their hands and wipe their faces. Then the two of them walked quickly to the small restaurant. They heard the relaxed laughter of Mrs. Marianne and Hathaway after the conversation. Mrs. Marianne's tone was filled with difficulty.
Hidden joy…
When Marquis Luther walked into the small restaurant, Lady Marianne, Hathaway, and Beatrice stood up to greet him.
"Ferdinand!" Mrs. Marian shouted the name of Marquis Luther, "I have good news for you. Our baby Hathaway is pregnant."
Marquis Luther held his forehead with one hand and was almost knocked unconscious by the good news. In fact, he was looking forward to this good news more than Lady Marian. The main reason was that he needed a reasonable reason to spend more than ten years in the future.
Here, slowly hand over the Luther Legion to Surdak.
Obviously, in the eyes of Marquis Luther's close allies, the marriage of Suldak and Hathaway alone will not win the approval of the noble lords behind the Luther Legion. The most reliable shackle of marriage is to have a blood successor.
By.
And Marquis Luther will also hand over the Luther Legion to Hathaway's unborn child in the future.
It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, he just needs a reason to hand over the Luther Army to Surdak...
Marquis Luther strode over, held Hathaway's head in his hands, let her lean into his arms, patted her back gently with his hands, and said softly: "Oh, so you are going to become a girl soon.
She is a mother, this is really good news.”
Hathaway closed her eyes and smiled gently.
When Marquis Luther sat next to Madam Marian, Suldak quickly walked up, knelt down on one knee in front of Hathaway, held her waist with both hands, and put his head
on her belly to listen to the sounds inside.
"He is still very young, you can't hear anything..." Hathaway whispered shyly when she saw that Suldak's posture was a little too intimate.
But Suldak raised his head and said to Hathaway very seriously: "I can feel the vitality he is constantly exuding in your belly. He is a strong and healthy child."
Hathaway could clearly feel the joy in Suldak's heart, which was a kind of excitement and throbbing in her heart after being promoted to a father, so the last trace of worry in her heart also dissipated.
…
The next day, Suldak went to the Dunstan family with a letter of visit to visit Speaker Fred.
This must be done before a formal visit. It also shows respect for the other party and prepares the other party.
The other party is also very particular about the time when they arrange the reception and meeting. The shorter the meeting time is, the more important the other party is. If the meeting time is left after a month, it will basically be the last meeting.
Suldak had been to Dunstan Manor more than once. After waiting at the door for a short while, he was invited into a living room by the butler.
But what Suldak never expected was that he actually saw Baron Armand Dacuni in the living room. He was instructing several servants to place refreshments and fruit plates on the coffee table in the living room.
When Suldak walked into the living room, he just turned around and nodded to the guests who had just entered the room, and kept smiling and chatting casually.
This man, who even gave up his original surname in order to attach himself to the Dunstan family, is wearing a dress that looks decent. He should be doing the job of a male greeter at the moment, although this thing seems to be a welcome and send-off.
It was a trivial matter in the past, but it is also a very popular thing in the Dunstan family.
Because if you can make friends with a few nobles in the process, you can expand your social circle.
Baron Dacuni just wanted to smile at Suldak, but when he saw clearly that the person walking in from the outside was Suldak, he couldn't smile at that face...
Various complex emotions of fear, shock, shame, and resentment bloomed in an instant and then quickly subsided.
The housekeeper didn't know about the grudge between Baron Dacuni and Surdak. When he saw Baron Dacuni froze in place, he thought that Baron Dacuni didn't know Surdak and didn't know how to address or receive him, so he
He immediately introduced him:
"Baron Dakuni, this is Count Suldak, a great lord from the plane of Ganbu. Please treat him well!"
This was already the kindest suggestion, and then he whispered:
"It seems like someone is visiting the door again. I have to go back there to receive them. You have to entertain them well here..."
But at this time, Baron Dakuni's mind was almost filled with the idea that Surdak had been making waves in Helensa City half a month ago, ruining all his original plans to occupy the magpie's nest. If Surdak hadn't appeared rashly, he would have
He won't hide back to the Dunstan family in despair at this time.
Thinking that the only time Darcy Christie got drunk with him, he actually thought that he was Count Suldak in front of him, Baron Dacuni wanted to pour the red wine in the cup on his face and stab him with a sword.
in stomach.
There were still some fantasies emerging in his mind, and he heard the housekeeper whispering beside him:
"Baron Dacuni, Baron Dacuni, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
At this time, Baron Dacuni suddenly came to his senses, then shook his head vigorously, drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, turned around and walked to the other side of the living room, leaving Suldak and the butler completely dry.
.
The butler's face was covered with black lines, but he was able to put on a smile again and forced out an awkward smile at Surdak:
"My lord, please forgive him for being so ignorant of etiquette. He may be drunk."
After saying that, he asked Suldak to sit down and rest, and asked the maid to bring him a glass of golden cider. Then he hurriedly chased Baron Dacuni standing at the door of the living room, and then took him outside the house. The two of them
It seems that he found a secluded corner. With his excellent hearing, Suldak clearly heard the butler's scolding:
"If Miss Guy hadn't recommended you to help here, Baron Dacuni, believe it or not, I would have sent you to the back kitchen to manage the vegetable purchasing there!"
"Be energetic, and at least have a friendly and kind smile on your face, because the noble lords who can sit in this room after handing over the invitation letter are basically distinguished guests who have a personal relationship with the Marquis."
"If you don't want to do this, ask to leave as soon as possible. Don't wait until you really mess up the matter. By then you won't even have a chance to do anything!"
After the butler finished speaking, he hurried forward, leaving Baron Dacuni standing alone in the corner with a look of despair.
