In the largest dining room of Marquis Luther's Mansion, the surrounding walls are covered with gorgeous wallpapers, the magic wall lamps emit a yellowish warm light, the vaulted dome in the room is covered with colorful murals, and the roofs of many buildings in the Green Empire are
I like to draw pictures of Cloud City, High Council Paradise, Dragon Cliff, etc. The glass windows of the restaurant have white gauze curtains with lace flowers.
A row of maids stood by the wall holding trays. When they saw Marquis Luther walking into the restaurant, the butler in the restaurant quickly waved the maid to come up, place tableware in front of Marquis Luther, choose pre-dinner liqueur, appetizers, etc.
This series of choices... If it weren't for Beatrice's soft introduction beside him, Suldak would have chosen the same one as Hathaway.
If that's the case, I'm afraid he can only drink a little milk and mushroom soup for this dinner... Because Hathaway wants to maintain his figure and basically doesn't eat anything at night, and Beatrice is almost the same.
Suldak's appetite is much larger. He eats almost a large piece of steak and smoked fish, as well as a large plate of vegetable salad, white bread with butter, etc.
When the dishes were served one after another, Suldak realized that in the front part of the table, Luther and he seemed to be the only ones with such an appetite. The dishes in front of the ladies basically only had a sweet soup, and Marquis Luther also had a very big appetite.
Well, there is a large piece of fresh red meat steak on his dinner plate. It looks only medium rare. The steak is only a thin layer of cooked on the surface. When the knife cuts it, some red blood oozes out of the bone china dinner plate.
.
It was impossible to tell that it was fresh meat from a monster, so Marquis Luther cut the steak into four parts with a table knife, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hard.
"If young people want to gain strength quickly, they must have a good appetite. Only with a good intestines and stomach can they quickly absorb the energy needed by the body from these flesh and blood..." Marquis Luther sat on the main seat and said to Suer
Duck said kindly.
He ate very quickly, as if this was a habit in the army. While he was talking, he had already eaten two large portions of steak.
Surdak ate a piece of steak and felt the rich earth element breath entering his body, limbs and bones through his gastrointestinal tract. His body was extremely sensitive to magic elements. Just before the earth element breath dissipated, the countless elements in his body
The lighted nodes seemed to produce a slight suction, constantly sucking in the earth elements wandering in his body, but not even a trace of earth elements dissipated from his body.
It was a strange feeling. Surdak's body was like a shriveled hydrogen balloon. The earth element breath slowly filled into Surdak's body and was constantly absorbed. Surdak
The breath in the body is also expanding.
It seemed that Marquis Luther also felt this change in Surdak. He signaled the butler not to serve the food according to Surdak's order, but continued to serve him this kind of Warcraft steak. Surdak even ate it.
Only then did Si Kuai realize that the aura of the earth element was filling his body, almost beyond his control, and the power of a two-faced, four-armed demon was about to emerge from behind him.
Everyone else at the table looked at Suldak with horrified eyes, as if he had done something extraordinary.
"Good guy, at the peak of your strength, you actually ate four pieces of white rock rhinoceros ribs in a row. The earth element breath has not overflowed from your body. If I didn't know in advance that your awakened magic perception is a sacred element, I would definitely think that you
The power of the earth element that you have mastered!" Marquis Luther's eyes fell on Suldak, his eyes were bright and he said with admiration.
The butler was about to serve another rib, but was stopped by Marquis Luther: "Okay, let's change him to other dishes. The earth element in his body is completely saturated, and it will be useless to eat as many white rock rhino ribs as possible."
Surdak was secretly surprised when he sat next to Hathaway. He had never eaten Warcraft meat before, especially salamanders and wind wolves, but he didn't have such a strong feeling.
"In addition to high-end Warcraft ingredients, you must also have advanced cooking methods so that these precious ingredients can play their best role." Marquis Luther said to Suldak.
Mrs. Mabel sat under Mrs. Marianne, and her three daughters sat quietly beside her. At this time, they also secretly looked towards Suldak and Hathaway, with jealousy almost hidden in their eyes.
I couldn't help but lower my head frequently and control my emotions.
Other members of the Luther family were sitting on both sides of the dining table. Almost all of them were middle-aged people in the middle of the dining table. Almost all the young people were sitting at the end. They were obviously only the nephews and nephews of Marquis Luther. They were whispering at the end of the dining table, and it seemed that the topic was also on the topic.
Discuss Surdak.
At this time, Marquis Luther stood up from his seat.
He raised his hands as if to embrace the air in front of him, and there was a sudden silence in front of the dining table.
All eyes were focused on him.
He said to everyone at the table:
"Everyone here is a member of the Luther family. You are my elders, brothers, and nephews. Maybe you think that Suldak is about to become Hathaway's husband and my son-in-law, so I am so partial.
And support him. Here, I want to say to everyone that I treat all members of the Luther family equally. Whoever has the ability, who has the potential, and whoever can create more glory for the Luther family, I will favor him and support him."
"Some people may say that I can't find an opportunity to express myself, so tonight, I will present this opportunity. I believe everyone already knows that the Luther Army is about to enter the Bailin plane for garrison, and this time Luther
The Luther family will share half of the defense zone in the Bailin plane. Such a large area includes twenty satellite towns. Every member of the Luther family will have the opportunity to express themselves when they enter the Bailin plane."
"If any of you have entered the Bailin plane and participated in the garrison mission, you can bring it up now and I will absorb you into the Bena Legion. However, don't think about being domineering in the Bailin plane. I will
You will be unified into the border towns of the Bailin plane. I hope you can open up some territory for your family and yourself and become the lords of the younger generation of the family!"
"Whoever wants to join Bai Lin's plane can bring it up now, or you can come to me in private after dinner. You are welcome at any time!"
No one from the Luther family responded, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly dull for a while.
Lady Marian sat next to Marquis Luther, raised her hand and pulled his arm, asking him to sit down, and then said to Marquis Luther: "They are still young and have not participated in much experience. Don't be so strict with them."
"It's good to give them some opportunities, but don't let them go to the most dangerous place all at once."
Madam Marian's fair words immediately made several young people from the Luther family at the dinner table look at her with gratitude.
She glanced at Suldak again and said casually: "Dak's situation is different from theirs. He has been training on the frontline battlefield in the Warsaw plane for four years before he is what he is now. I heard that you are in Warsaw.
In this plane, you once led Hathaway to escape the pursuit of a group of evil ghosts. At that time, your strength was not as good as those evil ghosts, and you also faced the most dangerous situation?"
Surdak nodded slightly and whispered about his experience in the heavy armored infantry regiment.
Listening to Mrs. Marianne and Suldak discussing this past incident, Hathaway and Beatrice were deeply moved. They grabbed his hand under the table, and the eager eyes in their eyes made other young people at the table even more excited.
People are extremely jealous.
After dinner, Marquis Luther continued to call Suldak to the war room to discuss the current situation in the Bailin plane. At the same time, he also revealed to Suldak the information that the Luther family had in the Bailin plane.
Marquis Luther stood next to the map, pointed to the black dot at the top of the map, and said to Suldak:
"This time you go to Wilkes City in the Bailin plane. I don't recommend that you choose a suburban town. It's not suitable for the growth of your cavalry battalion there. I hope you can go to the northernmost town of Dodan. This small town
The town was only established for a short period of fifteen years, and the relationship between the imperial colonists and the local aborigines there has almost reached a freezing point. Some conflicts often occur, and sometimes even lead to large-scale armed fights. Moreover, the aborigines here are still in conflict with the unexplored people.
The indigenous people in the area are closely connected, so a strong army is needed to be stationed here."
Listening to what Marquis Luther said, Suldak probably also understood that Dodan Town was the most chaotic and dangerous among these satellite towns, otherwise he would not have dispatched an order of Constructed Knights to take charge here.
Marquis Luther continued to say to Suldak:
"Originally stationed here was a team of knights from the Langdon family. In the past few years, they have been suppressing the local indigenous people and unable to raise their heads. However, after all, they have lived in this land for thousands of years and are deeply rooted in this land.
Even if there is a Constructed Knights stationed there, not much land has been opened up to the north in the past few years. If you continue to walk north along this wetland for two hundred miles, you can reach Invercargill at the northern end of the White Forest Plane.
Warcraft Forest."
He picked up a baton and pointed at the blurry mountain range on the map.
Suldak nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had memorized it.
Marquis Luther continued: "At present, it is the most extensive boreal forest among the known monster forests in the White Forest plane. Most of the monsters there are ice and earth monsters. The resources are very rich, and the plane is stationed there.
It is probably rare to encounter plane wars, and there are only a few ways to make profits: first develop business groups, take caravans wherever they settle, and transport local products and resources back to the Green Empire for profit.
"
Surdak knows this business group model. Compared with plane garrison, the caravan model is more suitable for plane warfare.
Many caravans like to take risks and follow the army. As long as the war is won, a large amount of loot will be captured. If the army continues to fight, it will sell these loot to the merchant groups at the cheapest price.
It has to be said that war is the most profitable industry, but there is a prerequisite that you must win.
"The second is to open up new territory and develop and build on your own territory." Marquis Luther said.
This is what almost all noble lords do.
If you want to be promoted to a title, you must have enough merit and a territory that matches your status.
In fact, this is what Marquis Luther wanted Surdak to do. He did not want a noble baron to marry his precious daughter at the wedding, so he spared no effort to help Surdak form a private army.
Marquis Luther continued: "The third is to occupy mines in undeveloped areas. Mining is the most profitable industry. As long as the raw ore is transported back to the Green Empire, nutrients can be continuously drawn from the plane. I know
There is a sulfur mine on your territory. I believe you must be deeply impressed by how profitable the mine is."
Suldak nodded.
At present, the development of Wall Village and the construction of barren land are inseparable from the financial support of the sulfur mine in Surdak.
Marquis Luther said: "The last option is to enter the Warcraft Forest. Whether you hunt Warcraft or collect magic herbs, you will make a good income. At present, there is a large market in the Green Empire, especially for precious Warcraft materials and
Magical herbs. So if you have a chance, I suggest you go to Invercargill Monster Forest to have a look."
The last one, Surdak has not tried yet.
However, many adventure groups and mercenary groups use this as a means of making a living.
"In addition, according to the information obtained by the family, there is an open-pit iron ore vein 60 kilometers due north of Duodan Town. It is not yet clear how much reserves there are. I hope you can move the area north of Duodan Town
By occupying it, you will not only have a fertile territory, but also a mine. If you can develop this mine, you may be able to support greater military expenditures." Marquis Luther pointed to a mine above Duodan Town.
Location, very seriously.
Surdak did not expect that Marquis Luther not only selected the garrison location, but also investigated the surrounding situation.
Knowing that there was an iron ore vein here, Surdak knew that he could not refuse it no matter what. Duodan Town was indeed very suitable for him.
At night, Suldak stayed at the Marquis Luther's Mansion.
Unfortunately, Hathaway did not take Suldak to admire her boudoir.
Madam Marian specially sent a maid to help Suldak go to bed, but she did not see Hathaway and Beatrice before falling asleep.
The aristocratic and wealthy families still have very strict restrictions on young unmarried couples before marriage, and this matter has risen to the level of family glory.
The next day, after Surdak met the deputy commander of the Luther Army, Chester Great Swordsman, Surdak's cavalry battalion officially entered the Luther Army.
In the following days, Suldak also ate in the military camp with the cavalrymen of the cavalry battalion.
In order to allow these new recruits to adapt to the battlefield this morning, Suldak and Andrew formulated a very strict training plan for the cavalry in the past few days.
In daily training, since half of the cavalry battalion are young recruits, in order to make their thin bodies wear heavy armor this morning, they have to undergo high-intensity physical training in the morning, basic combat skills and riding skills training in the afternoon, and additional training in the evening.
It is really miserable for these new recruits to learn about tactical formations.
Fortunately, the recruits in the deserted land grew up in a difficult environment. They can endure hardships better than others, and have extremely strong perseverance and resilience. If their physical fitness is not up to standard, they will strengthen their physical training without complaint.
Surdak also added some nutritious meals such as meat, eggs, poultry, etc. to the Luther Legion's standard meals.
After a short rest of seven days in the military camp outside Bena City, the Luther Army officially entered the Bailin plane.
