The officers of the Bena Army Headquarters are still sitting on the sand table with various war deductions, and Surdak's Western Route Army has long been stationed along the Ganda Earle Mountains to prevent the Bena Army from regaining Ko.
When we were in Enberg, the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge came out to cause trouble.
For such a long time, the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge has only launched a few attacks on Handanar County, but each time they were stuck at the point where the Bena Army made a big move, which really gave them a lot of trouble.
The Bena Legion brought a lot of trouble.
This time Surdak was stationed in the forest camp, and the tasks he needed to be responsible for were relatively easy. From this, it can be seen that Archduke Newman also had some thoughts of supporting Surdak. After all, Surdak was considered a Bena.
One of the most outstanding among the new generation lords of the province, he has fought well in several battles, and he is also a second-level paladin with outstanding strength.
A year ago, there may be many noble lords in the Bena Province who did not know the name Surdak.
But now Suldak has simply become synonymous with Marquis Luther's army.
After meeting Gabi and Ulysses, this was a matter of concern in Suldak's heart.
Under this situation, Surdak felt that he had no reason to stay in Handanar City anymore, so he went to the logistics department of the military headquarters to rush for supplies of ghost-patterned soldier ants, and brought the two-headed man-eating ants with him.
Mogulitem left the city of Handanar.
The two of them headed north, planning to cross the large meadow and return directly to the forest farm camp.
This large meadow in Handanar County is a rare pastoral area with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep grazing here. It is precisely because of having so many cattle and sheep that Handanar County can barely supply basic supplies.
No problems there.
And so many cattle and sheep are also a big hidden danger in Surdak's heart. Surdak led the ant cavalry to almost kill the hunting group there in the Samosto River. Now the evil ghosts on Moyun Ridge
The legions are like hungry wolves who are not selective about food. They are likely to set their sights on the rich meadows in order to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, he did not dare to bet on whether the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge would enter the big grassland in advance. Once this evil ghost army broke into hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of grassland, the West Route Army would probably be led by the evil ghost army.
Running on the big meadow with nose pressed.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Surdak hurried back in advance to make combat arrangements this time.
…
This trip to Handanar City can be regarded as a very boring trip for the two-headed ogre. Handanar City is completely congested. Although the knights in the city's guard camp are working hard to maintain law and order,
But the slums are still very chaotic.
The ogres rarely found good food in Handanar City. This time, Gulitem left Handanar City in a hurry, and it was inevitable that Gulitem would feel a little resentful.
You can appreciate the scenery here, but what about the delicious food we promised?
Breathing the fresh air on the grassland, standing on the mound and looking at the endless waist-high green grass, Suldak felt that this place should be a paradise for herdsmen.
"Gulitem, tell me which one of the monsters you have eaten has the best fresh meat?" Surdak took out a piece of dried meat from the giant swamp crocodile from his pocket and put it in his mouth to chew.
while asking.
After this kind of dried meat is roasted and dried, it is repeatedly beaten with a wooden mallet until the muscle fibers are completely broken up, and then it is pressed into thin slices.
This type of food first appeared in the Bailin plane. Surdak's lord army captured the Three Rivers Plain and cleared out a large number of second-level monsters such as swamp giant crocodiles in the depths of the plain, because at that time many monsters' fresh meat could not be transported back to Bena in time.
The city sold it, so some merchant groups accompanying the army bought the fresh meat of the monsters and then used various techniques to make dried meat.
Among them, the dried meat produced by this process has the best taste, and the production process is not difficult. It didn't take long for it to spread among the business groups.
The two-headed ogre stood up from the grass, looked at Suldak strangely and said, "It's rare that you care about this..."
"It's not too late to tell now." Suldak smiled.
He was thinking of what Duke Newman had said to him before. The path to advancement for a second-level powerhouse would become narrower and narrower, and the improvement in physical fitness brought about by exercise would become insignificant. So how to improve physical fitness, one needs to
Pay more attention to other aspects, such as long-term consumption of some Warcraft meat that can improve physical fitness.
When it comes to delicious food, the two-headed ogre suddenly becomes energetic.
Gulitem said: "Among the first-level monsters, magic antelope meat is a very good ingredient. Among the second-level monsters, salamanders and two-headed snake lizards should be good. The third-level monsters are nothing to criticize. They are relatively good.
It’s rare, but it’s good to eat some.”
Good brother Naohua kept nodding in agreement.
But then the two-headed ogre said sadly:
"Speaking of which, almost all the monsters in the Gandaer Mountains have been killed by the evil spirits. Although our camp is at the foot of the mountain, the resources of monsters here are far inferior to those in the Bailin plane."
Walking north along the large meadow, Surdak recalled the scene when he was chased by evil ghost warriors and fought for his life on the grass, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the evening, the two of them camped on the west bank of a tributary of the Pasyedi River. Speaking of which, Surdak only built a simple marching tent. The two-headed ogre preferred to lie directly on the grass with his head resting on his head.
Earth, looking up at the stars and falling asleep.
Surdak was going to wash up by the river and then check if there were any fish in the river. It would be best to have two grilled fish for dinner to change the taste.
When it was getting late and the light had become extremely dim, I saw a large herd of cattle appearing on the other side. When the cattle and sheep came to the river, they couldn't wait to drink from the river. The noisy sounds and the smell of cow excrement hit their faces.
Come.
The herd of cattle stretched for nearly a kilometer on the other side of the river, and a group of herdsmen riding ancient Bo Lai horses shouted at the back of the herd.
Surdak looked helplessly at the other side of the river. He regretted why he chose this place when setting up the camp. He should have thought of it a long time ago. The night by the river would not be too quiet. Now he looked at the people on the other side slowly drinking water.
Damn, all the good mood is gone.
The herdsmen on horseback clutched long whips in their hands. After they appeared, the cattle immediately moved out of the way.
They stood on the bank of the river and soon saw Surdak and Gulitem on the other side of the river.
After hesitating for a moment, Surdak did not expect that the herdsmen were so courageous that some people actually rode horses and crossed the river through the water that was submerged to their chests.
He was a herdsman with local aboriginal ancestry, and he could be identified just by his skin color and forehead.
Wrapped in cowhide, he got off his horse early and came to Suldak.
"Friends, do you want to come to our bonfire party? We will have fine wine, barbecue and enthusiastic Popotans girls!" the herdsman said in fluent Imperial dialect.
Seeing Gulitem's expectant eyes, Surdak could only suppress the irritability in his heart, stood up and pointed at the two-headed ogre on the grass over there and said: "It's a great honor to attend your bonfire party.
...Those are my friends, brothers Gulitem and Naohuaer!"
Ever since the herdsman came across the river on horseback, Gulitem and Naohua'er had been paying attention to him. Now that they heard their warm invitation, they immediately became energetic.
The herdsmen saw Gulitum's burly body under the dusk. They were startled at first, but then they said cheerfully: "Welcome, welcome!"
When Surdak crossed the river on horseback, he discovered that there were herdsmen driving their cattle in the distance.
The herdsmen drove the cattle together and let them drink water and graze by the river. Everyone gathered together, greeted each other enthusiastically and talked about each other's current situation, recent experiences, and some new news they heard.
Suldak found that this kind of bonfire party was more like a way for everyone to exchange information in the big meadow.
A large bonfire had been set up on the grass not far away, and a whole cow was placed on the iron frame. Four herdsmen stood aside and were vigorously rotating the barbecue grill. The cow was already roasting until it kept dripping down.
Grease, the herdsman brought Surdak and Gulitem to the campfire, and then went to greet the others warmly.
Everyone gathered in front of the bonfire, waiting for nightfall to slowly fall.
Several bold herdsmen approached Surdak, looked at his attire and asked curiously: "Are you an adventurer or a mercenary?"
There are already herder girls in leather skirts holding pottery wine jars and starting to pour wine for the people sitting on the grass. They have fine braids on their heads and well-proportioned figures. When they walk, you can feel the warmth in their steps.
brisk.
"No, I serve in a lord's army." Surdak glanced at the horse behind him and answered truthfully.
Surdak could feel that the herdsmen were obviously relieved.
"So this big guy is your subordinate?" Then someone asked tentatively.
Surdak replied readily: "They are my friends."
At this time, a very discerning herdsman brought a half-cooked beef leg to Gulitem. Obviously, the ogre brothers didn't care how cooked the beef leg was. They took a bite first, and then
He began to eat and drink without hesitation, and the depression of the day was wiped away from his face.
Surdak patted his forehead, not expecting that Gulitem's bad mood could be reversed with just a meal of roast beef.
An old herdsman with a wrinkled forehead came close to Suldak and proactively said to him: "We are herdsmen on this grassland and make a living by grazing. We have such a large gathering every month.
The main reason is to exchange some information with each other. After all, it is difficult to meet a few people in this big meadow, and it is even more difficult to obtain outside news."
Then he handed Suldak a glass of slightly sour fruit wine and asked, "Where do you guys come from?"
Surdak quickly replied: "Handanar City."
He only took a sip of the fruit wine and secretly put the glass down.
"Can you tell me the news over there?" The old herdsman looked at Suldak expectantly.
There were even several herdsmen girls in costumes surrounding them.
Surdak didn't know where to start, so he asked: "What do you want to hear?"
The old herdsman laughed. He felt that although Surdak was wearing a gorgeous armor, he was very talkative.
The old herdsman said to Suldak: "This night is very long. Everyone can sit down and drink some fruit wine and talk about anything you want, except lies of course!"
Surdak did not delay and said: "Okay then! Let's start with the increasing number of refugees in Handanar City..."
Surdak sat down and talked about some recent events in Handanar City, especially the large number of refugees gathered outside the city, which caused the price of goods in the city to rise. Now the entire Handanar City is almost overcrowded.
"This news is really useful. It seems that tomorrow we have to take out some of the stored cheese, dried meat and so on, and drive some cows to the city to see how much they can be sold for!" the old herdsman said with a look on his face.
He excitedly ordered to the young people beside him.
The young herdsman replied honestly: "I know..."
The further you go to the north of the big meadow, the more luxuriant the water plants are. The main reason is that evil spirits often appear in the north of the big meadow, so herdsmen rarely drive their cattle north.
Slowly, the grass became thicker and denser the further north you went.
In order to provide their cattle with water every morning and evening, these herdsmen almost always migrate along rivers.
Not long after, some herdsmen brought the roasted beef. The meat was roasted until it had a thin layer of crispy skin, and it tasted very delicious.
Roast beef and fruit wine, these are the delicacies the herdsmen entertained Suldak.
Then there were herdsmen girls dancing continuously, and they pushed the bonfire party to a new height.
There are even herdsmen girls who come to Surdak to show their unique enthusiasm, but Surdak does not want to get into the tent with these hot herdsmen girls. These girls who have been herding herds all their lives probably need Surdak.
Be a cheap dad...
After drinking some fruit wine, Suldak felt a little dizzy, but there was no problem in crossing the river on horseback.
After the bonfire dance ended, the herdsmen did not hold back when they saw that Suldak was determined to leave and return to the other side of the river.
Gulitem changed his decadent mood and accompanied Suldak across the river, saying excitedly:
"Duck, I didn't expect this to be a spontaneous gathering of herdsmen. It was very lively, and the roasted cow was also very delicious..."
"I didn't expect there to be so many herdsmen in the big meadow. This meadow is too big, with herds of cattle and sheep...so there's nothing you can do to let those evil spirits in!" Surdak squatted by the river, holding his hands.
Wash your face in the clear river water.
When I walked to the tent, I saw Aphrodite leaning against the tent, hugging her knees, sitting there quietly.
Her eyes were like shining stars in the night sky, staring silently at the night sky.
