When Surdak woke up, Natasha beside him was no longer there.
A pile of clothes with the smell of sunshine were placed neatly on the bedside. Suldak got dressed and walked out of the bedroom.
When they arrived at the restaurant, old Sheila and little Peter were already sitting at their seats. Natasha was wearing an apron and bringing out oatmeal and multigrain cakes from the kitchen. Rita came in from the outside with some grass blades on her apron.
I should have gotten up early to feed the family cow and Gubo horse.
Surdak still remembers the first time he saw Rita. She looked disheveled at that time. Even though she was hungry every day, she still felt that her body was very strong. Now that she eats better, her whole body looks better.
It swelled up like a balloon, and the shoulders and thighs were very fleshy.
Now that Rita is a grown-up girl, her clear eyes always have other thoughts.
Old Sheila is also considering Rita's marriage. Many young people in the village have a good impression of Rita.
It is only in recent times that many young people have gradually become alienated from Rita.
The main reason is that Surdak has been promoted too quickly in recent times. Young people who have some thoughts about Rita are now almost afraid to come out to find Rita, for fear that they will actually be together in the future.
If anything went wrong, his brother, Baron Suldak, would lead a group of men and beat him half to death.
Many people say that Surdak is now the master of this desolate land.
Suldak also felt that Rita's husband should not be a farmer in a deserted land. He told old Sheila about this and maybe he could find a young guard camp knight.
Old Sheila sat at the main seat, Natasha sat down next to Suldak, and Rita sat opposite Natasha.
Everyone in Natasha's family sat down after their plates were filled with the food they needed.
Holding a spoon, Rita took a spoonful of oatmeal and put it into her mouth. Rita asked Suldak vaguely: "I heard that the red dragon treasure is just an underground cave with nothing?"
"Well, there is no treasure there, and there is no Quel'Sera!" Surdak said while chewing on a piece of multigrain cake.
"I'll just say it!" Rita said with satisfaction, blinking her big clear eyes.
Little Peter couldn't understand what Suldak said, so he turned to Rita and asked: "Auntie, what is Quel'Sera..."
When little Peter asked, Rita patiently told little Peter the legend of the Sword of Quel'Sera, which made little Peter almost forget to eat.
…
Suldak came to the security station, preparing to arrange the daily affairs in the security office, and then went to Helensa City to apply for funds to form a guard battalion squadron in the deserted land. According to what Viscount Emmett said, if he did not receive it quickly,
When I come back, this funding will be canceled soon.
As Viscount Emmett said, there will naturally be funds for next year...
Andrew is already familiar with the magical power given by the 'Rage Flame' magic pattern clothing. He is standing in the yard, holding the butcher in his hand with burning flames, and is competing with the ogre in martial arts in the yard. The ogre Gurlitt
The bone-crushing big stick held in Mu's hand, whenever he was at a disadvantage, would forcefully use brute force to erase the advantage that Andrew had worked so hard to establish.
Surdak stood by the flower pond and watched for a while. When he saw Samira sitting at the door taking care of the 'Withering Painting' long bow in her hand, he walked over and said to her: "I plan to go to Helensa soon."
City, the patrols in the deserted land will continue. Before winter, I estimate that the bandits hiding in the desert may come here to loot the villages. We cannot let them do whatever they want. If there is a chance,
I also want to go into the desert to see where those bandits are hiding. I heard that there are dozens of oases hidden in the desert. I always have to go in and clean them up to let them know who has the final say in the desolate land.
"
"How long are you going to go for?" When no one else is around, Samira will open the hood on her head, and her light red eyes will have a glow in the sun.
At this time, Andrew also stopped and walked over, and said to Suldak: "Captain, how about you let me bring some water and dry food, go into the desert and kill those bandits."
Surdak waved his hand and said: "Wait a little longer. When I establish the security squadron of the security camp in the deserted land, we will go to the desert together to see it. What you need to do now is to help
I'll take care of this place."
The ogre walked up to Surdak with a big belly and said to him angrily: "Captain, I want to go to the sulfur mine. There has been no message there for a while. I'm worried about so many kobolds."
The slaves have all become food for the salamanders."
After Andrew withdrew the flame, he would sharpen the edge of the 'butcher's ax' again with a whetstone, and wipe it carefully with an oil rag. While wiping the weapon, he said: "The truck transporting sulfur ore did not just come from the mine the day before yesterday.
Are you coming back from the field? Didn't you say that the security situation there is fine? A few days ago, Luke rescued an adventure group that strayed into Pussy Mountain. Don't you think they saw the boundary marker? "
The ogre didn't care much about his bone-crushing club. The traces of blood had not been cleaned off yet.
"Maybe it will come out in the next few days! I'll take a look and come back..."
The ogre smiled and said to Andrew.
Wearing a loose long skirt, Aphrodite leaned out from the second-floor terrace and said to Suldak in the yard: "Captain, I want to go to the city of Helensa with you."
She didn't wear that cold mithril mask, and her eyes were naturally charming.
Surdak said: "You are going to Halanza City?"
Aphrodite nodded. Her loose cotton skirt formed two clear drop-shaped outlines on her chest. She leaned on the railing with a look of anticipation on her face.
"Aren't you afraid that the law enforcement team will discover your identity?"
Surdak raised his head, looked at Aphrodite and asked.
"I can become your attendant..."
After saying that, Aphrodite drew a magic pattern array for herself, and as she recited a series of magic spells, dots of blue magic light circled and fell from Aphrodite's head, just above Aphrodite.
The moment Rody's spell stopped, he suddenly turned into a young knight, and even his clothes turned into a set of ordinary leather armor, and he even wore a decorative sword on his waist.
Suldak and Andrew both opened their mouths in shock. It was hard to imagine how such big breasts and butts could disappear in an instant. The Aphrodite in front of them had a neutral beauty, but those eyes
But it's still dark purple, and it's still indescribably beautiful.
She stood on the terrace and walked around, and said proudly to Suldak: "What do you think, Captain?"
"Can you guarantee that the magicians in the city won't detect this?" Surdak was a little worried and couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely not, I promise!" Aphrodite patted her chest with her hand and said proudly.
Then he complained and sarcastically said to Suldak: "I've never seen you be so careful before. It's true that the more daring you are in your position, the less daring you will be!"
Surdak remembered the time he met Aphrodite on the execution ground, and remembered that she was a bird with her wings cut off, and that she had turned her back on Azmodan, the king of sin. Although she gradually settled down in Wall Village,
I have never left Wall Village for so long. Although this place cannot be said to be a prison, Aphrodite wants to go outside and have a look. Surdak can still understand this feeling.
He pondered for a while, then stood downstairs and said to Aphrodite who had turned into a handsome guard upstairs:
"Okay, this time you go to Halanza City with me, but you must remember not to cause trouble for me, otherwise this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
"You agree? Got it! I promise!"
Aphrodite cheered excitedly.
He no longer changed back to his original appearance, and just ran downstairs like this.
…
Surdak asked for an ancient Bolai horse from the old village chief. He and Aphrodite rode away from the entrance of the village. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the market at the entrance of the village gradually became depressed.
Several villagers set up stalls, and Aphrodite rode a horse, happily following Surdak. The villagers who knew Surdak had to look at Aphrodite with surprise.
Suldak was about to ride his horse to the Paglos Pass when an injured donkey appeared on the loess road far away. There was a villager lying on the donkey's back. Suldak
After his level promotion, his five senses also improved. Although he was far away, he still saw some blood stains on the body of the man carried on the donkey's back.
He took the reins of Gubolai's horse, turned its head, and slapped the horse's rump with the whip in his hand, urging it to run faster.
The Gubolai horse ran in front of the donkey like a gust of wind. Suldak jumped off the Gubolai horse and walked in front of the donkey. He saw a villager lying on the donkey's back.
The injuries were not too serious, they were just stab wounds. The wounds were not deep, but there was a lot of blood loss. His skin was pale white, his hands and feet were a little cold, and he only had one breath left.
Surdak quickly carried him to the roadside and let him lie flat on the ground. At this time, Aphrodite also caught up from behind.
Seeing this situation, he quickly rode to the police station to find Andrew and Samira, the ogres.
Surdak condensed a ball of holy light in his hand, and let this ball of holy light approach the wound on the villager's body. The warm holy light slowly integrated into the villager's body, and his breathing and heartbeat slowly recovered.
, the unconscious villager gradually had a painful expression on his face, then his eyelids trembled twice, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Lord Suldak..."
He recognized Surdak as soon as he opened his eyes.
Excitement, sadness, anger, lamentation, different emotions appeared on his face at the same time. Suldak quickly said to him: "Don't be excited, tell me slowly what happened."
"Lord Surdak, hurry up and save our Guta Village. Those desert bandits are coming to rob our village again. Please save my family as soon as possible."
The villager cried to Surdak with a sad face.
"It turned out to be those bandits. How long has it been since they attacked Guta Village?"
Surdak took a quick look at the sky. It was almost noon now.
The villager took two breaths and then said: "They entered the village last night. Someone saw them rushing into the village. The village chief asked me to ride out on a donkey to deliver the message. Some robbers noticed that I ran out.
So I chased on horseback, and I rushed into the rocky hillock in one breath, and then I used the rocky area there to get rid of the pursuing robbers..."
Seeing that the villager was a little weak and had a lot of wounds from knives on his body, Suldak saw that his life was not in danger, so he let him lie on the side of the road.
Then he took out a finely marked map from his arms, first drew a line between the desert and Guta Village, then drew a line between Guta Village and Wall Village, and then drew a line between Congwal Village
A line was drawn with the edge of the desert, and a triangle just appeared on the map.
Surdak thought in his mind that even if he arrived at Guta Village now, those bandits should probably loot the village and escape.
"Captain, what happened?" Andrew was in the distance, and his voice had already been heard.
Surdak did not raise his head. He bet that these bandits did not dare to stay in the deserted land for too long. They were probably on their way back to the desert now. If they rushed directly from Wall Village to the edge of the desert, with luck they should be able to kill these bandits.
Robbery.
"It's those bandits from the desert who ran out and looted Guta Village. Andrew, Samira, and Gulitem, you guys go with me to the edge of the desert to stop them. Aphrodite, you stay in the village." Suldak.
He mounted his horse and gave instructions to everyone.
Andrew and Samira followed Surdak on horseback. The ogre was carrying a bone-breaking club and stood behind them barefoot, looking eager to try.
Only Aphrodite jumped off her horse with a depressed look on her face, stood on the roadside and complained: "I knew it would be like this... Okay, you can go without worries!"
Surdak pulled the reins and stopped the horse. He turned around and said to Aphrodite: "If this operation goes well, I will allow you to go to the city of Helensa alone!"
Aphrodite's eyes suddenly brightened, and she asked Suldak: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true..." Suldak said with certainty.
After saying that, he raised his riding whip and rushed towards the edge of the desert with Andrew, Samira and Gulitem...
This time, Surdak led the militia group to train in the deserted land. Nothing was done. The only thing was to determine the location of each village in the deserted land. In addition, the nearest roads connecting each village were also marked.
On the map, even though the deserted land looks flat, in fact the fault zones, gentle hills, and rift valleys in the deserted land also form a very complex terrain. If you are not familiar with the terrain here, it is easy to take long detours.
They had to pass through a gap in Gale Valley, cross the rift valley, and then go around a patch of Redridge Mountains before they could take a shortcut and reach the edge of the desert in advance.
In order to catch up with these bandits in time without destroying the war horse, Suldak could only ruthlessly take out the heads of four hell dogs and sacrifice them to the face of God, in exchange for the blessing effect of 'Blessed Body'
Blessed the three war horses, and blessed the ogre Gulitem with the 'Blessed Body'.
A group of four people ran until dusk and saw the huge sand dunes that were almost connected at the edge of the deserted land.
From a distance, those sand dunes look like the scales of a giant beast. There is a dry atmosphere at the edge of the entire desert. The sky is gradually getting darker, and the temperature here is gradually getting colder...
