The lava mine is warm and dry, and there is a faint smell of sulfur inside the cave, but it is not that strong.
These smells came out of those lava pools. Looking at Aphrodite lying lazily on the wicker chair, her lower abdomen seemed to have returned to its original state, and her lower abdomen became very flat again. She looked indifferently.
Looking at Suldak, he had no intention of speaking.
Two kobold slaves were kneeling at her feet, holding fans to cool her down.
There are also two kobold female slaves taking care of the little guy in the cradle.
When Suldak came over to look at her, the little one was having a sweet dream in the cradle, and he could see that she was sleeping very soundly.
"Didn't it say that the due date is next spring?" Suldak asked with some confusion. He squatted beside the cradle and couldn't help but touch the chubby little hand with his hand.
I heard that touching the face all the time would easily make the baby drool, so Suldak gave up the idea.
"You can't always measure a succubus by human standards." Aphrodite put aside the travel notes in her hand and looked at Surdak with some contempt.
Surdak stood up, turned around, walked to Aphrodite, and sat down on her wicker chair.
The magic robe seemed unable to cover her plump body, and the seductive outline under the magic robe was outlined. Surdak felt his mouth go dry again after just one glance.
"Well...I don't think you are any different from me." Surdak said to Aphrodite.
Aphrodite shook her head, opened her slightly narrowed purple eyes again, and said to Surdak: "Don't forget that we live in hell, where a large area of land is barren of grass, and where the volcanoes flow with magma all year round.
The sky there is cloudy all day long... The races that can survive here all have some special survival instincts."
Then he added: "Take us, the succubus clan, for example. We are born with charming eyes, and our bodies have long adapted to the living environment in hell."
"The 16-month due date will produce full-term little succubi."
"Those little succubi have mastered most of their mother tongue when they come out of their mother's womb, but in fact, the succubus has been gestated in the mother's womb for eight months and is ready for birth."
"If it is in the hell world, the living environment outside is worrying, so she will usually stay in the mother's womb for a full sixteen months, but the environment here is more suitable for her growth, so I will let her come out early."
Aphrodite hooked her hands around Surdak's neck and pressed her body against Surdak's back.
"So you are considered a premature baby?" Suldak asked with a frown.
A smug smile appeared on Aphrodite's lips. She understood Suldak's thoughts. The man in front of her must be dissatisfied in his heart, so he frowned and spoke.
Aphrodite replied very calmly: "You can also say that the environment here is not that bad. Coming out early will be good for his growth."
"..." Surdak looked at the little cotton-padded jacket in the cradle with some distress. He didn't think that coming out so early would be of any benefit to the little cotton-padded jacket, so he complained: "It's a little too early..."
Aphrodite raised her delicate eyebrows, glanced at Suldak with a pair of piercing purple eyes, and said casually: "What? I feel you can't bear it... If you don't like what I do, you can
She took her to Ruyter."
Being silenced by Aphrodite's casual words, Surdak could only say awkwardly: "That's not true."
Aphrodite lay down on the wicker chair again, waved her hand casually, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, I'll be annoyed when I see you!"
Thinking that women would be a little nervous after giving birth, Suldak said: "I'm going to see Yisel."
After saying that, he went to the red crystal cluster to collect a bag of red crystals and walked deeper into the cave...
…
Just when Surdak was about to start enjoying this wonderful summer, the recruitment order from the Bena Province Military Department was sent to him again.
In fact, Surdak knew about the specific situation as early as spring.
This recruitment order came at least more than a month later than he expected...
In view of the fact that the situation in the Warsaw plane is becoming more and more serious day by day, the current Grand Duke Newman has already had the idea of moving the Bena Army out of Handanar County. He just wants to draw the frontline troops out of the Warsaw plane little by little.
Troops must be added to the battlefield in Handanar County.
This time Surdak's lord army made a big splash in the Bailin plane. When they entered the Bailin plane, there were only 50,000 lords army. When they came out of the Bailin plane, the lord army had expanded to 100,000. In this way
With such dazzling achievements, it is difficult not to be noticed by Duke Newman.
And just this year, Grand Duke Newman finally made some moves.
According to the request of Archduke Newman, the lords of the Bena Province will organize a huge army of lords to enter the Warsaw plane and try to make a last stand on the battlefield of the Warsaw plane. Afterwards, regardless of success or failure, the Bena Army will withdraw in full.
Warsaw plane.
Following the instructions of Duke Newman, the Bena Provincial Military Headquarters recruited troops from the private armies of various noble lords who were willing to enter the Warsaw plane.
Since Surdak's lord's army has now grown to a force of 100,000, they naturally cannot avoid this call-up. Moreover, due to Surdak's outstanding military exploits, the military appointed the supreme commander of Surdak's reinforcements, the West Route Army.
It is said that this move to recruit troops is very large, and many great lords from other areas in the Bena Province have also sent private armies, with a total strength of about 210,000.
This large-scale recruitment can be said to be the last support of the lords of the Bena Province for Duke Newman's campaign on the Warsaw plane. If the reinforcement operation is successful, then there will be troops entering the Warsaw plane in the future, but if this happens
A large army has entered the Warsaw plane, and the situation there has not improved at all, which will have a great impact on the prestige of Grand Duke Newman.
There are almost 150,000 heavy armored infantry, 30,000 light cavalry and 20,000 heavy cavalry, and 10,000 armored warriors.
The so-called Constructed Warriors include Constructed Swordsmen unique to the Bena Province and a small number of Constructed Knights. It is not easy to form an order of Constructed Knights in the Bena Province.
One hundred and fifty thousand heavy armored infantry, which means a total of nearly one hundred heavy armored infantry regiments will join the Warsaw Plane War, and a large number of these heavy armored infantry regiments will be willing to obey Suldak's orders.
The light cavalry is divided into two types: scout rangers and horse archers.
Surdak is one of the top commanders of this batch of reinforcements. He was able to become the top commander because of the recommendation of some lords. Most of them followed Surdak and tried in the Ganbu and Bailin planes.
The lords were so pleased that the military asked them to send part of their troops to support the Warsaw plane. This was no problem, but they required that the commander of the reinforcements must be Suldak, otherwise they would refuse to participate in the war.
It was for this reason that Suldak was elected as the supreme commander of the Western Route Army.
These lords have a large number of heavy armored infantry in their hands, so there are also a lot of heavy armored infantry assigned to Surdak.
This time Suldak will lead one hundred thousand heavy infantry, ten thousand heavy cavalry, and five thousand constructed knights to form a large Western Route Army and enter the Warsaw plane.
The commander of the Eastern Route Army is the Marquis Norton. Although the Eastern Route Army has only 50,000 heavy armored infantry, they have 40,000 cavalry and 5,000 constructed swordsmen. In terms of combat maneuverability,
Sure enough, the East Route Army was obviously going to throw the West Route Army off a few streets.
Seventy percent of the Lord's Army under Surdak's command are old members of the original Lord's Army Alliance.
As for the logistics and baggage group, the military department will be responsible for it, because almost none of the Bena merchants is willing to enter the Warsaw plane and become a merchant group accompanying a certain lord's army. Therefore, the current logistics supplies can only be transported in by the military organization.
…
Just one month after Hathaway gave birth to little Vent, Marquis Luther and Lady Marian took a magic airship and arrived at the airport terminal in Luyter City.
Suldak dropped what he was doing and personally ran to the airport terminal with Hathaway and Beatrice to greet him.
This time Marquis Luther came to Luyt City. In addition to visiting Hathaway and Little Vent, he also came to see the preparations for the expedition of Lord Suldak's army. After all, this time they will go on an expedition to the Warsaw plane.
, Bena Province and Ivorson Province are thousands of miles apart. If you take a magic airship from Bena City, it will take at least more than a month to reach Ivorson City.
However, it is just a transit station, and you have to enter the Warsaw plane through the portal there.
Almost all of Surdak's lord army was stationed in the military camp outside Mukusuo City, and after the battle on the Bailin plane, the lord coalition did not disband. The army was stationed outside Mukusuo City, waiting.
This recruitment order from the military department.
Marquis Luther first walked around Ruit City, first looked at the restaurant square, then climbed up the city wall to look at the half-built Hanging Garden and Tanan Avenue, and then entered Mukuso City through the portal that day.
Seeing the brand-new city, prosperous streets, and vitality everywhere, Marquis Luther was completely reassured by Suldak's ability to govern the city.
"How are the military going to send us there?" Suldak stood on the wall outside Mukusuo City and asked Marquis Luther curiously.
"A temporary teleportation array will be built outside Bena City. At that time, all the troops will enter Ivorson City through the temporary teleportation array. After all, there are more than 200,000 troops. Although it is expensive to build a temporary teleportation array,
But that would be simpler than using a magic airship to transport troops." Marquis Luther replied.
His eyes fell on the neatly arranged two-story buildings in the outer city. When he looked back, he said to Suldak:
"With the temporary teleportation array, the transportation capacity for this expedition is sufficient."
"And it's a round-trip ticket. When you enter Warsaw, tens of thousands of Bena Legion soldiers will be withdrawn from the battlefield."
"Speaking of it, this is the last mobilization of the Lord's Army in the Bena Province. If it still fails to open up the situation in the Warsaw plane, Duke Newman will order an entire withdrawal from the Warsaw plane."
When saying this, Marquis Luther felt a little heavy.
"The situation in the plane of Warsaw is so serious?" Suldak asked in surprise, because Duke Newman had been guarding the plane of Warsaw for so many years, and it was very likely that he would eventually return to the Bena Province with nothing left. Just thinking about it would make people sad.
Feeling very depressed.
Marquis Luther nodded and said:
"Duke Busman offended the Angelibald royal family and lost the support of the royal family. At the same time, he suffered successive defeats in the battles on the Warsaw plane, which completely caused the lords of Ivorson Province to lose their last bit of confidence."
"..."
Suldak said nothing.
Silence immediately fell on the city top. After being quiet for a while, Suldak seemed to have remembered something and asked Marquis Luther:
"Can I bring more cannon fodder this time?"
Marquis Luther was slightly startled. Although every army has more or less cannon fodder, no one said it so bluntly like Suldak.
Marquis Luther thought for a while and then said to Suldak:
"It can't be too much. I'm worried that the military logistics team will not be able to supply it. After all, Ivorson Province is in the midst of the Great Depression, and the financial situation of Bena Province is also very worrying at the moment."
"Fifty thousand!" Suldak stretched out five fingers and said.
Marquis Luther, who was standing at the top of the city, holding on to the wall with one hand, suddenly shook his hand and returned to his natural state.
"Heavy infantry?" Marquis Luther asked. To be honest, the number of cannon fodder surprised him a little. It was too much.
"Where do I have so many heavy armored infantry? They are ghost-patterned soldier ants..." Surdak replied casually.
Hearing Suldak say this, Marquis Luther quietly breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed: "I know, it seems that the battle on the Bailin plane has gained quite a lot."
…
In the castle, Hathaway and Lady Marianne sat by the cradle and chatted quietly.
Marquis Luther and Suldak walked in from the outside one after another. Marquis Luther saw little Went in the cradle, and his sharp eyes instantly melted. Regardless of the fact that Little Went was still asleep, he took the hand from the maid and handed it to him.
He wiped his hands and face with a warm towel, put his hands into the cradle, and picked up little Went.
"Hurry up and put him down, you will make him very uncomfortable if you hold him like this..." Mrs. Marianne quickly stopped him.
Marquis Luther didn't say anything more and quickly handed Little Winter over to Lady Marian.
Looking at Hathaway sitting by the bed, and then at the rosy-faced little Vent lying in the cradle with his eyes closed, he said to Hathaway:
"If you feel tired, you can always take him to Bena City to stay for a while, and you can ask Marianne to help you..."
"I know." Hathaway glanced at her father gratefully and said sweetly.
"What a cute little guy." Marquis Luther leaned over again, looked at little Went and praised him.
Marquis Luther only stayed in Ruit City for one night and left in a hurry.
Mrs. Marian will live here in Ruit City for two months.
All the lords' armies on Surdak's side needed to be reorganized, and September was busy. Just when Surdak's army was almost mobilized, an urgent message came from the city of Halanza.
It was immediately delivered to Suldak.
Surdak tore open the envelope, and there was only one line of words on the light yellow parchment paper:
