The furniture in the restaurant is all in a rough and satisfying style. The wooden table looks particularly sturdy. The long stool is also made of logs split in the middle. The side that was flattened by the plane is facing up, and a few stool legs are crudely nailed underneath.
, just placed on both sides of the dining table.
Walls made of spliced wooden boards could also be seen around the room. Surdak looked at the creamy soup on the plate, wiped his hands, broke off a piece of white bread, dipped it in the soup and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste is much worse than expected. The soup is cold, and in addition to the milky taste, it also has a cold, fishy and very greasy taste. It feels like eating bread dipped in some meat oil.
In the mouth.
If Suldak hadn't seen Duke Newman just finishing the soup on the plate and finally wiping the bottom of the plate with bread, Suldak might even have thought that this soup might have been cooked specifically to treat him.
.
But obviously Duke Newman didn't have to do this.
Thinking of this, Suldak stared at the milky white liquid on the plate, wondering what had been added to it to make this soup taste so bad.
Duke Newman's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. He saw that Suldak did not dip his bread into the soup and took a second bite, but looked at the plate hesitantly, and then he really believed what Marquis Luther said in the letter.
introduce.
The young man in front of me really came from a commoner family. Although he has now become a great lord of the Ganbu plane, he has not had much contact with the lifestyle of the nobles.
What Surdak didn't know was that the white bread on this plate was indeed very ordinary, but the dipping sauce was made from dragon's bone marrow mixed with milk.
Regular consumption of dragon bone marrow can improve the body's mana affinity. This thing can be said to be a delicacy on the dining table of the upper class nobles. Only a big shot like Duke Newman can bring such precious ingredients to the dining table.
Surdak meticulously drank the cream soup on the plate and stuffed the last bit of white bread into his mouth.
The food in his stomach had released a trace of mana, and his stomach gave the most correct feedback at this moment. He was not full, and he seemed to be even hungrier after eating the soup and white bread on the plate.
Duke Newman seemed to have known this would happen for a long time, and his eyes fell behind Suldak.
A cook immediately brought over a dinner plate with five steaks on it. These steaks were cut very delicately and even had some peppery sauce on them. However, there was something wrong with the doneness of these steaks.
Suldak thought they might have been taken out within three seconds of being put in the frying pan.
The five-piece steak was only lightly fried, and the skin only changed color slightly.
These steaks looked more like pieces of raw meat, but they were indeed very fresh. Suldak even felt that the muscle fibers of the steaks were still shaking...
Suldak only forked two pieces and then put down his fork.
He found that the food on the table was very ordinary, and he never expected that Duke Newman would be so friendly to the people in his daily life.
Duke Newman saw that Surdak only forked two pieces of fried meat, so he motioned with his eyes to the cook to fork two more pieces for Surdak, and finally put the last piece on Surdak's plate.
.
"The cold soup just now was mixed with some dragon bone marrow, so the taste may be a little weird, but as long as you get used to it, you will find that the oily and mellow flavor is inside."
Duke Newman handed the napkin to the maid aside, and then said to Suldak.
Suldak had never even heard of this ingredient, but he did know that as long as the word "dragon" is in the food, it cannot be cheap.
He looked down at the steaks on the plate with some understanding, wondering what the meaning of these raw meats was.
Duke Newman's rich and gentle voice came over again: "This is the neck meat of the Diposaurus from the Dendrobium Plane. After the hunt, in order to keep the food fresh, it was sent here nonstop."
Suldak opened his mouth wide and picked up a piece of steak with his fork. It was impossible to tell that it was actually a piece of earth dragon meat.
The attendant brought a cup of tea to Duke Newman. Duke Newman looked at Suldak with gentle eyes:
"Young people have to eat more if they have a good appetite. After the second revolution, relying on hard exercise can no longer satisfy the accumulation of physical strength. Some people choose to stimulate the inner potential of the body, and some choose to use external forces to increase their strength, such as achieving some goals with the elemental world.
contract."
"Food supplements are a relatively mild way to increase strength. The only disadvantage of this method is that the progress is slow. You need to take it for a long time to feel the improvement in strength."
"Although the resources of the Ganbu Plane are scarce, at least one of the plane lords, I know you are running the Ganbu Plane pretty well now. As long as you can stabilize the situation in Mukusuo, it is not easy to have these things in front of you.
Disaster."
While Suldak was eating the steak, Duke Newman began to feed Suldak chicken soup.
After all, the young knight in front of him is the commander of the Western Route Army, and his direct troops account for half of the Western Route Army.
If we talk about who has the most dazzling performance in the Bena Province in the past two years, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Marquis Edmund Arnold, must indeed be ranked first. After all, he has achieved brilliant results in Luoqi and has also fought hard in these years.
He has won countless battles and has always surpassed Marquis Luther in terms of military achievements.
But Marquis Luther and the young man he chose...
Duke Newman knew that the young officer in front of him also had outstanding military exploits.
In two battles against the Demonic Legion, even though it was only the Hell Hounds Legion, it was able to complete a comeback against the wind in an isolated and helpless situation. This is something that even Marquis Edmund Arnold would find difficult to achieve.
The province of Bena needs such excellent plane lords.
This time Duke Newman summoned Marquis Edmund Arnold and Suldak to the Warsaw plane, mainly because he wanted to take the opportunity to investigate, and also to reverse the difficult situation of the Warsaw plane, although the Warsaw plane is now so bad.
It’s in the bones, but this is a fertile plane with rich resources. The Busman family once relied on the products of the Warsaw plane to rank third among the richest plane lords in the Green Empire.
If not for this, Duke Newman would not have been squatting in this plane for eight years with the Bena Army.
Although the current Warsaw plane is completely rotten to the core, it still has huge potential for development after it has been broken and rebuilt.
Just talking about the two mithril mines in Ortans County makes all the great lords of the Green Empire salivate.
Suldak swallowed the steak on the plate while listening to Duke Newman's teachings.
Although it was almost raw meat, the delicious taste was like eating tuna belly dipped in wasabi and soy sauce, and for the first time, he felt that his stomach seemed to be able to send messages, giving him a stronger appetite.
He has never liked eating raw food, but now he can't wait to eat a few more pieces.
Suldak didn't believe what Duke Newman just said, at least he had never eaten these high-end ingredients at Marquis Luther's house.
Although Marquis Luther does not have an independent plane.
But he has large territories in several planes.
Marquis Luther can own a huge army, so it is impossible without certain assets.
But as the first heir, Hathaway usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, and Suldak only knows some information one-sidedly.
"I heard you are a paladin?"
Suldak nodded, sat up straight and wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth.
All he wanted now was to drink a glass of sweet wine and then sleep comfortably.
"Yes, then the options for these Warcraft ingredients are much greater." Duke Newman said with satisfaction.
Suldak didn't understand why Duke Newman said this.
He glanced hesitantly at Duke Newman.
Duke Newman explained to him: "The plane of Warsaw has been occupied by evil spirits for many years. Some monsters are contaminated with black devil energy. If you eat the flesh and blood of such monsters for a long time, some devil energy will be deposited in the body, which will cause irreversible damage to the body.
This kind of black demonic energy can be purified with the power of holy light, so for you, this kind of monster meat is not harmful."
Surdak hunted many magical beasts, and most of the food he obtained was sold in the free market.
To be honest, although he also eats it, he doesn't eat it often.
Listening to what Duke Newman said, it is obvious that there will always be some World of Warcraft ingredients on the dining table at home in the future.
Duke Newman's summons seemed to be just to have a big meal with Suldak. His Excellency the Duke did not ask for any news about the army or the garrison, and Suldak did not mention the issue of material supplies for the Military Logistics Department.
…
What followed was a pre-war meeting in the command post.
Commander Edmund Arnold was not present at this meeting. The Eastern Route Army led by him needed to pass through Handanar County and reach the western border for garrisoning.
Surdak was just studying the battle plan in front of the map with a group of Bena Army commanders.
In fact, the mission assigned to Surdak by the military headquarters is very simple. The mission of the Western Route Army is to garrison the mountain forest camp in northern Handanar County.
Probably because he was worried that he had just arrived and was very unfamiliar with the evil ghost army in the Warsaw plane. He was only stationed along the forest camp and there was no need to attack Moyun Ridge.
This time, the Bena Legion launched a large-scale counterattack from along the Moss River. The Constructed Swordsman Regiment and the Heavy Cavalry Regiment in the Bena Legion almost gathered towards the Moss River. As Duke Newman entered the other lord armies of the Warsaw plane,
They also need to drink soup in this battle, and each of them also has some battle plans.
Surdak only needed to sit down and listen quietly. Anyway, no matter how the commanders and lords argued, it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
He only needs to stop the evil ghost army in the mountains in the northern part of Handanar County to the north of the forest farm camp, and try to prevent the evil ghost army from entering the large meadow at the rear of Handanar County.
Surdak was sitting in the corner of the combat command room. The seats here were relatively comfortable. There was a circle around a long square table. On the table was a huge map made of cowhide. Surdak was holding a
Water glass, I listened quietly all day long.
As for the other officers, they were all having heated discussions. However, there were seven operational plans for the Moss River counterattack, and each plan seemed to have undergone a lot of demonstration. The officers in the command post were frothing.
Surdak was one of the spectators, and many of the officers who listened were the leaders of the main regiments in the Lord's Army.
Surdak had just arrived, and Duke Newman didn't introduce him too much. None of the corps leaders knew him. They saw that Surdak was not too old, had a tall build, and was wearing a set of magic patterns.
Heavy armor, everyone thought he might have an order of Constructed Knights in his hands.
A Constructed Swordsman officer sitting next to Surdak held a white sheepskin booklet in his hand. He was still listening to the commanders' discussion at first, but later, he felt sleepy while sitting on the chair.
There was a sound of snoring as soon as I woke up, and the quill pen in my hand fell to the ground.
Duke Newman, who was standing in front of the map, was discussing the way to cross the river. Suddenly, the commanders heard a snore, and everyone's eyes fell on the officer in the corner.
Surdak secretly poked the officer and woke him up from his deep sleep.
Duke Newman's face turned livid, he just glanced this way and continued to discuss the battle plan.
The commanders also quickly regained their composure and continued the discussion following Duke Newman's train of thought.
The officer woke up from his confusion and realized that he had embarrassed himself in front of a group of commanders. He immediately blushed. He picked up the unused quill from the ground and looked at Su beside him with an embarrassed look.
Erdak, forced a smile on his face.
"Thank you!"
The officer lowered his voice and thanked Suldak. His accent was not from Talapagan, and he was obviously not from Bena.
Suldak didn't say anything, just smiled at him.
He held a map of a large meadow in his hand. There were only a few rivers on this map, and then there were the northern mountains.
The officer's sleepiness disappeared and he wanted to find someone to chat with.
Seeing Suldak sitting next to him holding a map and looking at it, he stretched his neck and leaned over to look at it. He found that the map was almost as clean as white paper, with only some mountains drawn on the edge. He asked with some surprise:
"What's so interesting about this map?"
Suldak said nothing.
The officer became interested and lowered his voice and said to Suldak:
"This large meadow is the buffer zone between the northern border and Handanar County. If there weren't several rivers in between, it wouldn't even be considered a buffer zone. Once the evil ghost army breaks out from Moyun Ridge,
, you can stand under the city wall of Handanar County within ten days!"
"Then, if you want to stop the evil ghost army from Moyun Ridge from entering this meadow, where do you think the army should be deployed?" Surdak asked curiously.
"If you really want me to be honest...it won't work anywhere!" the officer said with a shrug.
"The Evil Ghost Legion is not like us cavalry who want to take a flat road. They really want to enter the big meadow without passing through the forest farm camp. It is not difficult for them to cross the mountains. The reason why they did not rush directly from Moyun Ridge
The main reason for Big Meadow is that they are worried that the garrison at the forest farm camp and the army from Handanar City will surround them..."
After the officer finished speaking, he licked the tip of the quill in his hand, reached out and drew an arrow on the parchment map in Suldak's hand...
