Many nobles and ladies in the hall who were communicating softly with wine glasses suddenly discovered that the big shots sitting in the lounge area of the hall suddenly walked out from there. Marquis Peggy Beavis accompanied a man in standard military uniforms.
Count, while talking, walked out of the hall filled with relaxing music.
Even the young nobles standing on the edge of the dance floor admiring the graceful dancing of the noble ladies were attracted by these big shots.
Some young nobles and their female companions gathered around a group of big shots.
As the hostess of this party, Marquise Peggy Beavis stayed with Suldak almost the whole time. Although she is a lady in her forties, her figure and face are well maintained and very beautiful.
He is good at creating topics and always becomes a quiet listener when the atmosphere is heated.
Many people didn't know what was going on, so they came here blindly.
In everyone's eyes, this commander of the Western Route Army was tainted with a magical aura.
At least no one has been able to break into the highlands of Moyunling before. Now that he is so young, it is said that he even let the famous Marquis Westsee, the rich man in Handanar City,
General Valentine Heller and the commander of the Constructed Swordsmen, Marquis Simon Jeffrey, returned from the highlands defeated.
It is said that at least three hundred nobles went bankrupt because of him. Today, many owners of the meadows have sold out due to bankruptcy.
Some people also say that Commander Surdak cheated the noble lords of Handanar City on the highlands of Moyunling with at least 500,000 magic crystals. Someone had made harsh words two weeks ago. If Commander Surdak
If the official dared to take even half a step into Handanar City, he would be stripped of all his armor and hung on the flagpole in the South City Gate Square to be exposed to the sun for three days, before being flogged.
Let him spit out all the property he swallowed...
But now Commander Surdak walked into the city of Handanar so blatantly, but the nobles who once made those heroic words disappeared because of this.
Even Marquis Valentin Heller, who had the most powerful personality and never tolerated any disdain in his eyes, did not make any sound.
In Handanar City, the streets are full of nobles who are hostile to Commander Surdak, but there are also some people who are willing to make friends with such an outstanding imperial general.
After all, the Green Empire has a system that relies on military merit to maintain titles. Many nobles do not want to offend the three giants in Handanar City, so they keep a certain distance from Commander Surdak, but those who are originally related to Handanar
The three giants of the city have some grievances with the noble lords, like Marquis Peggy Beavis. How could they miss the opportunity to make friends with Commander Suldak at this time?
In order to welcome Commander Suldak, Marquis Peggy Beavis even used lady diplomacy.
This practice is very common in the circles of the Green Empire. That is, a noble wants to make friends with another noble, but there is no intersection in interests, hobbies, temperament, and life circle, so they must have some common topics.
ah.
At this time, lady diplomacy will show some effect. However, Commander Suldak’s wife Hathaway Luther comes from the famous Luther family and is not currently in Handanar City. This lady diplomacy is somewhat
Other flavors...
Marquise Peggy Beavis is still very charming.
It's just that Surdak is very unfamiliar with the aristocratic circle, and his personal taste is also relatively unique.
In addition to Hathaway Luther, Beatrice Gopher, and Natasha's three wives, there are Selena as an apostle of the dark goddess, Aphrodite as a succubus, and a half-blood half-blood.
The three lovers of Samira the Elf...
People like him are rare among noble lords.
Everyone is speculating about such a famous general... who is not surrounded by a group of sweethearts. So how did all the forces establish contact with Commander Surdak?
At least half of the aristocratic ladies who came to attend the ball at the Marquis Peggy Beavis Mansion tonight came with expectations.
Many ladies have the expectation that maybe they just fit Commander Surdak's taste.
Then this night will definitely become very unforgettable...
What made them feel extremely resentful was that Marquise Peggy Beavis stayed with Commander Suldak for half the night, without giving other noble ladies any chance to intervene.
For half the night, everyone just saw Commander Suldak sitting in the rest area, chatting with Marquis and Lady Peggy Beavis, as well as several high lords in Handanar City.
Those women whose snow-white breasts were smeared with a thick layer of pearl powder could only shake their plumpness on the dance floor to attract the attention of some young nobles on the edge of the dance floor.
Now I finally saw Suldak walking out of the rest area, accompanied by a group of big shots.
Many people immediately gathered around the hall.
Marquis Peggy Beavis walked and said to his wife beside him: "Elena, you said that place in the garden is more open?"
"I think the lawn in the northwest corner of the courtyard is fine. I originally planned to build a greenhouse on that lawn in the future." Marquise Peggy Beavis immediately replied softly.
At this time, everyone had walked out of the hall and came to the steps outside the house.
Although it was night, the Beavis Mansion was brightly lit, and even the garden behind was illuminated to every detail.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Marquise Peggy Beavis's slender fingers, and sure enough there was a large lawn in the northwest corner. The grass there was neatly trimmed, and there was even a shrub wall on the edge of the lawn.
A group of people walked over, and some nobles watching the excitement gathered around the lawn.
"Commander Surdak, do you think that lawn can be used as a testing ground for the power of your powder keg?" the leader of the city defense and security group asked impatiently.
He had heard of the powder keg in Commander Surdak's hands.
Now that I had the opportunity to see the power of the powder keg with my own eyes, I became very interested.
"Can!"
Surdak didn't hide anything. He walked straight to the center of the lawn, took out a powder barrel from his magic belt bag, placed it in the most conspicuous place, then connected it to a bundle of fuses, and pulled it little by little to the outside of the lawn.
edge.
Other noble lords were standing around the lawn, thinking that there was about to be a grand fireworks show, and many ladies showed great expectations.
However, Marquis Peggy Beavis was worried that the explosion would hurt the nobles who were watching, so he called in a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding tower shields, and asked them to form a human wall outside the lawn.
Seeing the solemn look on Marquis Peggy Beavis's face, Suldak smiled and said, "Don't worry, this kind of powder keg is not that powerful."
After saying that, he saw expectant eyes all around him, so he took a torch from a guard and lit the fuse at the edge.
A ray of fire quickly approached the explosive barrel along the fuse. Sparks splashed and the fire quickly disappeared at the edge of the oak barrel. The next second...
'boom!'
The entire oak barrel suddenly exploded, and the huge sound shocked people's eardrums.
The crowd of onlookers only saw the gunpowder barrel shattering instantly, fire and smoke, and countless broken wood slag, soil, and turf flying into the night sky.
Some sporadic dirt even splashed onto the bodies of the guarding soldiers. Fortunately, these guarding soldiers were blocking the way, otherwise the tiny pieces of dirt would probably splash onto everyone's evening clothes.
After the thick smoke dissipated, a pit about one meter in diameter appeared on the grass, and the surrounding grass was also affected to varying degrees.
Although the effect is not bad, the power of such a large powder barrel is only slightly greater than that of fire phosphorus bombs.
Many nobles had never seen this before. For a while, many people stood there in shock, wondering what Commander Surdak's purpose was in detonating this powder keg.
Marquis Peggy Beavis and several major lords around him were a little disappointed. Many people were thinking:
'Can such a powerful powder keg really defeat those evil spirits on Moyun Ridge?'
"Do you think this kind of gunpowder barrel can't kill those evil ghosts at all? In fact, this is just the power of a gunpowder barrel after it explodes. I have enough gunpowder barrels in my hand, and there is also a group of mages to airdrop it.
The effect of bombing the densely formed evil ghost army is actually very good." Surdak explained to everyone.
oh……
Only a few great lords around him truly understood what Surdak said, but the feedback Surdak received was the response from a group of nobles around him.
Whether it was unmarried noble ladies, married ladies, young nobles, or some lords of some status, they all responded one after another.
Throughout the night, Surdak only did one thing, and that was to demonstrate the power of the powder keg to the noble lords in Handanar City.
He did not promote this thing to everyone because he knew clearly that people who wanted to buy it would post it without him having to tell them, and people who didn't want to buy it would not pay for it no matter what he said.
After a party, you are more tired than fighting a vicious battle with evil spirits.
Before leaving, Suldak also received various hints from more than twenty noble ladies and ladies, some were direct invitations, and some were euphemistic hints.
Even before boarding the magic caravan, there was an aristocratic lady wearing a flower-like dress holding her chest, as if her crystal shoes had tripped on the red carpet. Then this aristocratic lady, who was so white that it was dazzling at night, fell down very naturally.
into the arms of Suldak, who was just about to enter the carriage.
The big white rabbit trapped in the low-cut dress almost jumped out.
However, Suldak didn't even look back, he bent down and got into the car.
And when he turned around and waved out of the car window, the aristocratic lady just disappeared into the crowd.
Aphrodite, who was sitting in the shadow of the carriage, glanced at Surdak with some disdain and teased him: "You really don't know how to show mercy, Commander Surdak."
After the magic caravan drove out of the front door of the mansion, Suldak took a breath, opened the window to let the fresh air in, looked at the street lights outside the window and said:
"I thought the aristocratic circle in Handanar City was monolithic!"
"What's the gain this time?" Aphrodite asked.
"When I come back from Bena Province, someone will probably come to me privately to purchase those black powder barrels!" Suldak said casually: "But... it doesn't seem to matter whether they have it or not, at least I can't do anything about it in the short term.
Selling these powder kegs to the outside world."
Surdak's temporary residence is at the military headquarters' office in Handanar City, which is an 'L'-shaped three-story building located in the central square. Surdak got his certificate from Epsom City here.
Teleport pass, you have to stay here for one night, and you will leave here tomorrow morning on the magic airship flying to Epsom.
For him, the commander of the Western Route Army, the responsible officers staying in Handanar City did not dare to show any slights.
At the beginning, the military department proposed to all the lords of the Bena Province that the military department would provide all the logistics materials, and the lords only needed to send troops to the Warsaw plane...
However, the response received by the military headquarters was pitiful. At first, the military headquarters was planning to organize a heavy cavalry regiment to reinforce the Warsaw plane, but in the end, only the east and west heavy armored infantry regiments were able to come up with.
All the lords are not optimistic about this reinforcement plan, thinking that any number sent there will be sent to death as cannon fodder...
But now, this young lord of the Ganbu plane appears with a dazzling aura, and then he actually returns to Bena City with these auras. It is said that Duke Newman specially granted him a two-month family leave.
I want to let the lords who are huddled in the Bena Province take a look at the style of this person in front of them...
The military department is a special department that is completely in the hands of Duke Newman. Of course they know how much the commander of the Western Route Army is favored by the Duke, so they not only actively contact Suldak for the magic airship ticket, but also provide him with tickets to the Soviet Union.
After Erdak came to Handanar City, he also provided him with the best room.
The carriage stopped outside the small building. When Suldak got out of the carriage, the guard at the door immediately opened the door of the small building.
Suldak strode in, and a secretary from the military department quickly followed him and asked Suldak if he had any needs for the evening.
Surdak waved his hand a little tiredly, and just said: "Remember to prepare one for me tomorrow morning... oh two, two breakfasts are enough, oh, by the way, prepare a carriage for me, I need
Go to the airport terminal as early as possible.”
"Okay, Commander."
The clerk followed Surdak and wrote down Surdak's instructions in his notebook.
"When I'm resting, don't let anyone disturb me..."
Surdak stood outside the room door and said to the secretary.
"yes!"
the secretary said.
Suldak didn't say anything, just opened the door and walked into the room.
This is the most prosperous neighborhood of Handanar City. Surdak's room is located on the third floor of the small building, which is considered the easternmost room. From the balcony, you can just see the lively central square.
But as long as you close the wooden door to the terrace, it will become very quiet again!
