484. At the dinner party
If it weren't for Lance to say these things, Surdak and Karl probably wouldn't have known that such a dangerous battle had taken place when destroying the Hell Passage, and even caused a dimensional space storm.
The so-called space storm is the collapse of the space rift, once this kind of storm appears, it can even spread to the entire plane, many resource-poor planes are overexploited by humans, and the world foundation of a certain plane is damaged, which will cause this kind of space storm, and the storm directly makes the entire plane fall into countless space rifts.
Therefore, in a sense, once a space storm breaks out, it will officially declare the end of this plane.
"Women really don't care about anything when they're crazy......" Speaking of these, Lance couldn't help but sigh with embarrassment.
Surdak remembers the first time he saw Samiya, it was at the Hylanza Opera House, when her ostensible identity was still a dancer in the opera house, Baron Grenfell's private meeting with Samia happened to be discovered by Surdak, and then he had several encounters with Samia, but it seems that every time, this woman's luck was not too good, and I didn't expect to hear her name again, and the news of her death actually came.
"Ha, today old friends get together, I actually said so much." In the end, Lance Magician finally remembered the mission he had come, he took out an invitation letter from his bosom and handed it to Surdak, and said solemnly: "I came to the guard camp this time to deliver a notice to Dark: In view of the outstanding performance of the Surdak knights on the battlefield, the Maga Plane War Command hereby informs you that you will attend the dinner hosted by the Marquis of Luthor at the War Command in Warjmara City tomorrow night." β
Surdak was stunned for a moment before taking the gilded invitation.
Karl sat down next to Surdak and asked Lance expectantly, "Hey! Reims, has the Marquis invited me? β
Lance spread his hands and said that he only had such an invitation.
"This is a dinner party to commend the most outstanding warriors of the various legions of this plane war, and there is indeed no name on it, and it is estimated that there is probably only one place among the knights of the guard battalion in all the cities of Bena Province." Lance explained to Carl, but also indirectly to show how precious the invitation was.
Lance stretched out his hand, shook Surdak very formally, and congratulated him with a smile: "Congratulations, Dak, what a job!" β
Karl asked with great interest: "Is there a lot of extra rewards for this kind of commendation dinner?" "I didn't feel any frustration that I didn't get the invitation.
Lance's eyes conveyed a positive message, but his mouth said:
"Probably, I haven't participated in it either, after all, there have been few recent plane wars that have won a complete victory."
The three of them talked until late before Lance left the guard camp station.
Surdak and Karl will stand at the gate of the station, waving goodbye to the Lance mage in the distance.
On this side of the station, another team of guards battalions entered, and it was seen that they must have just withdrawn from the battlefield, and many of the knights were wounded in addition to the trophies, not to mention the dirt on their bodies, and even the armor was broken.
In fact, not all the tasks of the guard battalion were successfully completed, and some of the guard battalions encountered a large number of Cerberus fierce counterattacks, these Cerberus under the leadership of the three Cerberus leaders, and with those who are good at fire control Gog, they also have strong combat power, especially once the knights of the guard battalion cannot solve the three Cerberus leaders, the battle will be extremely hard.
The knights of this guard battalion dragged their tired bodies into the garrison, they were hung with trophies, and it looked like they should have won, but there was no joy of victory on their faces, it should be a disastrous victory at great cost.
Some blood-stained knights crouched by the moat, washing their faces with the water in their hands.
"Knight Surdak, come over here and take a look, someone needs help......"
A call came from not far away.
Surdak hurriedly agreed, and walked quickly in the direction of the source of the sound, for a knight like him who is good at healing, it is often after the battle that he is the busiest.
β¦β¦
As the commander-in-chief of the maca plane war, Marquis Luthor has a busy schedule every day, although he has a descendant army under his command, both combat effectiveness and execution are the best here, and several lieutenants around him are also very experienced in handling military affairs, but the documents that need to be reviewed by him personally every day are still piled up.
From the current trend of the campaign, to the movement of various armies, it needs to be reviewed by the Marquis Luthor personally, and as the war gradually moves towards victory, the war materials transported from Bena Province have begun to slow down, and the victory of each war means obtaining a large amount of loot, some of which flow into the merchant group, and some of which are handed over to the military headquarters, and the rewards of each legion are like the most cumbersome mathematical formulas, and the quartermasters of the logistics department of the war headquarters are almost red-eyed these days.
When it came to the subsequent arrangements for the subsequent evacuation of the maca plane, Marquis Luthor gently rubbed his forehead.
Picking up the lemon tea on the table and taking a sip of it, the Marquis of Luthor got up and walked to the window, seeing that the outside of the military headquarters seemed a little noisy, he couldn't help frowning, and just wanted to ask the adjutant what was going on outside, there was a knock at the door.
The door was gently pushed open, and the adjutant appeared at the door, and said to the Marquis Luther, "Lord Marquis, the outstanding soldiers of all the legions have arrived, do you want to go to the dinner?" β
Marquis Luthor nodded, then thought for a moment, and then said to the adjutant, "You go and ask Marquis of Hiram and Marquis of Mondstadt...... Forget it, you go with me! β
With that, Marquis Luthor hung the saber from his sword rack at his waist and walked out of the room.
β¦β¦
The War Command is currently requisitioning a trading house building in the city of VoΕΎmara.
The banquet hall was originally the restaurant of this trading house, this restaurant can accommodate two hundred people at the same time, and the kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils, Surdak took out the invitation letter at the door of the headquarters and was brought here.
There were only three rows of tables and chairs in the middle of the restaurant, each row of tables had only ten seats, and each seat was placed with a nameplate.
At this time, there were already many fighters in the restaurant, and everyone was honestly sitting in their seats, some sitting upright in their chairs, others chatting with each other, and one end of the table was filled with buffet-style dishes, basically grilled meat with rich sauces, and the color was attractive.
Surdak walked in, and the waiter placed new dishes on the table.
The victory of the Battle of Warzhmara City has gathered a large number of merchant groups in the city, and these merchants have transported rich materials from the Grimm Empire, so Warzhmara City has passed the days of material shortage, and in recent days, the materials in the city are even a little excessive, if it were not for the magic airship that has been delivering a large number of materials to other parts of the plane day and night, I am afraid that there will even be a large backlog of materials in Warzhmara City.
So the dinner table was so well prepared that Surdak sat down in his seat and a waiter poured a large glass of juice into the cup in front of him.
ββ¦β¦β
It doesn't seem like there's an option for this...... Surdak complained inwardly.
"This is a fresh juice squeezed from the Taylor fruit, everyone has a limited amount, if you don't like to drink it, you can let it be given to me." A bearded man dressed as a sheepskin soft-armored archer next to him stared at the pale green juice and said to Surdak.
"No, I love it!" Surdak looked at the archer's posture of reaching out and grabbing it directly, and quickly picked up the glass and took a sip before speaking.
The bearded archer smiled kindly at Surdak and said very humorously, "I know you'll like it, the Tairo fruit has a purposeful effect, so many people here are excellent archers." β
Surdak didn't strike up.
He looked around, and saw that the cafeteria was full of soldiers from various legions, although there were only twenty people, but there were also various kinds of warriors, and it was not difficult to see their occupations as long as they were careful.
A soldier of a hoplite infantry regiment actually sat on a chair wearing heavy pants armor, and a tower shield was erected behind the chair.
When Surdak was in the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment, the tower shield was a sharp weapon for the defense of the infantry regiment, and dozens of heavy infantry soldiers could form a shield wall by erecting the tower shield in a row.
The bearded man next to him was supposed to be an archer in the group of longbowmen, but no matter what Surdak looked at, he didn't look like a marksman.
The heavy knight of the heavy cavalry regiment on the opposite side was even more exaggerated, he actually placed a cast-iron helmet next to the dinner plate, and the black helmet had a visor on it.
In addition, there are some scouts in the light cavalry, the clerk of the logistics regiment, etc., the invited personnel can be described as varied, they chatted in a low voice at the banquet, and they don't seem to be familiar with each other, among these people, Surdak seems to be much more low-key, he does not wear the usual 'Earth Shield' magic pattern armor, but wears the uniform of the Hylantha Guard Battalion, which looks very unusual in the banquet hall.
He mainly thought about attending banquets, and it was not convenient to wear that set of Earth Shield armor, but sometimes clothes also symbolized status.
The longbow next to him looked at him casually, but the bearded man wasn't bad.
Surdak sat on the chair and waited for a while, the Marquis of Luthor never appeared, and after a while, three senior generals of the command came outside the restaurant, and the adjutant at the head glanced at the officer beside him, and the officer lowered his voice and whispered: "It's all here!" β
The lieutenant straightened up and said to the soldiers in the dining room:
"The dinner has officially begun, you can dine first, Lord Marquis has to deal with a little matter temporarily, and then it will be there!"
With that, the adjutant turned and left the dining room.
These warriors who participated in the dinner party couldn't help but look at each other, everyone didn't expect that when the dinner began, the Marquis of Luthor didn't show up, and the slightly tense atmosphere relaxed suddenly, and the soldiers left their seats with their plates to choose some delicious food.
Surdak followed the crowd to a row of plates full of delicacies, he forked many delicacies from these plates, and specially selected some precious Warcraft ingredients that he had never eaten, such as the roasted scorpion lion tail, many warriors looked very reserved, but Surdak walked up generously and cut a long section from the plate.
"This is not bad, the eyes of the sand beast, this time the military department is really generous, and actually invited us to eat this kind of high-end Warcraft ingredients to cook dishes, these are enough for me to blow back to the group for half a year." The bearded archer behind him picked up a round piece of sauce and strongly recommended it to Surdak: "I heard that the Marquis of Luthor paid for it out of his own pocket......"
Surdak added a piece with a tong, but he didn't expect that the sauce meat looked firm, but it was actually cooked very crispy, and it couldn't withstand the force of the tong, but fortunately, Surdak reacted quickly and barely caught it on the plate.
The bearded archer grinned and stood behind Surdak and asked, "You rarely eat this?" β
Surdak nodded, and added another steak to his plate.
The bearded archer laughed and said, "Ha, so am I!" I had seen it at our captain's table before, and that day I happened to send the hunted demon antelope to the captain of the regiment, and when I saw a few pieces on the captain's plate, I wondered what this piece of meat tasted like......"
The bearded archer was very talkative and interested in Surdak, and when the two of them had chosen food and walked back to their seats, the bearded archer casually asked:
"Which warband are you from?"
Surdak chewed a piece of red sausage in his mouth and said:
"Hylanza Guard Battalion."
The bearded archer's eyes were as big as a brass bell, and his face was full of surprise, and then he said with pride: "Knights of the guard battalion? Oh! I've heard that this time almost all the city's guard battalions have drawn a group of knights. I'm from the 27th Longbow Archery Regiment of Bena, hehe, our regiment is a descendant of Marquis Luthor, and I was stationed in Mikasala, which was stationed in the Fio plane, and the war broke out on the Maca plane, so I withdrew from there. β
"You haven't heard of the Fio plane, have you?" The bearded archer asked Surdak when he saw Surdak's blank expression.
Of course, Surdak had never heard of the Fio plane, nor had he heard of Mikasala, but this did not affect the small talk between the two of them, and I heard that Surdak belonged to the knights of the local city guard battalion, and this bearded archer obviously had some superiority, and he held his chest high when he spoke, and those superiority in his words seemed to come from his descendants of the Marquis of Luther.
Surdak didn't think it was anything to brag about, but he listened attentively.
The bearded archer thought that Surdak was a good man, so he whispered to him: "Be clever when Marquis Luthor comes over later, maybe Marquis Luthor will see you and promote you to join our cavalry regiment......"
ββ¦β¦β
Surdak thought speechlessly, I'm not going to join your cavalry regiment......
