In the largest dining room of the Marquis de Luther's Palace, the walls around are covered with gorgeous wallpaper, the magic wall lamps emit a pale yellow warm light, the vaulted dome of the room is painted with colorful murals, and the roofs of many buildings in the Grimm Empire like to paint pictures of Cloudsdale or High Council Paradise, Dragon Cliff, etc., and the glass windows of the dining room are drawn with white gauze curtains of lace flowers.

A row of maids stood by the wall with trays in their hands, and when they saw the Marquis Luthor walking into the dining room, the housekeeper in the restaurant hurriedly waved his hand to the maids to come up, put the tableware in front of the Marquis Luthor, and choose dessert wine and appetizers, etc., this series of choices ...... If it weren't for Beatrice's whispered introduction next to him, Surdak would have simply chosen the same as Hathaway.

If that's the case, he'll probably only have a little milk and mushroom soup for dinner...... Because Hathaway had to keep herself in shape, she basically didn't eat anything at night, and the same was almost the case with Beatrice.

Surdak eats a much larger meal, with almost all of the cutlets and smoked fish being eaten in large chunks, as well as large plates of vegetable salad, buttered white bread, and so on.

When the dishes were served one after another, Surdak found that the front part of the table, it seemed that only Luthor and he had such a meal, the dishes in front of the ladies were basically only one sweet soup, and the Marquis Luthor had a good appetite, there was a large piece of fresh red meat steak on his plate, which seemed to be only one point cooked, and the meat steak was only cooked on the surface with a thin layer, and the knife cut it, and some red blood oozed from the bone china plate.

Unable to tell what kind of fresh meat it was, Marquis Luthor only cut the meat chop into four with a knife, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

"If a young man wants to gain strength quickly, he must have a good appetite, and only with a good set of intestines can he quickly draw the energy needed by his body from these flesh and blood......" Marquis Luthor said kindly to Surdak as he sat on his throne.

He ate very quickly, as if this was a habit in the army, and as soon as he spoke, he had already eaten two large portions of meat steak.

Surdak ate a piece of meat steak and felt the thick aura of earth elements enter his body through his stomach and intestines, and his body was extremely sensitive to magical elements. Sense, just before these earth elemental breaths dissipated, the countless lit nodes in his body seemed to produce a slight suction, constantly inhaling those earth elements wandering in his body, and there was no trace of earth elements dissipating from his body.

It was a strange feeling, Surdak's body was like a shriveled hydrogen balloon, and these earth elemental breaths slowly filled into Surdak's body, constantly being absorbed, and the breath in Surdak's body continued to expand.

It seems that Marquis Luthor also felt this change in Surdak, he signaled the butler not to serve according to Surdak's order, but continued to serve him this kind of demonic beast meat steak, Surdak ate four pieces in a row only to find that the earth elemental aura filled his body, almost out of his control, and the 'potential' of the two-faced four-armed demon god was about to emerge behind him.

Everyone else at the table looked at Surdak with horror, as if he had done something amazing.

"Good guy, the strength of the peak stage actually ate four white rock rhinoceros ribs in a row, and the earth elemental aura would not overflow from the body, if it wasn't for knowing in advance that your awakened magic perception was a divine element, I would definitely think that the earth elemental power you mastered!" Marquis Luthor's gaze fell on Surdak's body, his eyes were bright, and he said with appreciation.

The butler was about to prepare another rib, but was stopped by Marquis Luther: "Okay, let's change him to other dishes, the earth element in his body has been completely saturated, and it is useless to eat any white rock rhino ribs." ”

Surdak was also secretly surprised when he sat next to Hathaway, he hadn't eaten Warcraft meat before, especially salamanders and wind wolves, but he didn't have such a strong feeling.

"In addition to high-grade Warcraft ingredients, there must also be high-end cooking methods to make the most of these precious ingredients." Marquis Luthor said to Surdak.

Mrs. Mabel sat under Mrs. Marianne, and her three daughters sat quietly beside her, and at this time they also secretly looked towards Surdak, and when they looked at Hathaway, the jealousy in their eyes could hardly be concealed, and they could only bow their heads frequently to control their emotions.

The other members of the Luthor family sat on either side of the table, almost all of them middle-aged people in the middle of the table, and the younger ones were almost all sitting at the end, apparently just the nephews of the Marquis of Luther, and they were whispering at the end of the table, as if the topic was also discussing Surdak.

At this time, the Marquis of Luther stood up from his throne.

He raised his hands as if to embrace the air in front of him, and there was a sudden silence in front of the table.

All eyes were on him.

He said to everyone at the table:

"All of you here are members of the Luthor family, you are my elders, brothers, sons and nephews, maybe you will think that Surdak is about to become Hathaway's husband, will become my son-in-law, I will be so partial and supportive of him, here, I want to say to everyone, I treat the members of the Luthor family equally, who has the ability, who has the potential, who can create more glory for the Luthor family, I will favor him and support him."

"Some people may say that they can't find a chance to show themselves, so tonight, I will put this opportunity out, I believe you all already know that the Luther Legion is about to enter the White Forest Plane to garrison, and this time the Luther family will share half of the defense area of the White Forest Plane, such a large area includes twenty satellite towns, and every member of the Luther family enters the White Forest Plane and has the opportunity to express themselves."

"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, but you don't think that you will be powerful in the Bailin Plane, I will unify you into the border towns of the Bailin Plane, I hope you can open up some territory for your family and yourself, and come back and become the lord of the younger generation of your family!"

"Anyone who is willing to join the Bailin Plane, you can bring it up now, or you can find me privately after the meal, you are welcome at any time!"

The sons and nephews of the Luthor family were unanswered, and the atmosphere at the table was particularly dreary for a while.

Madame Marianne sat beside the Marquis of Luther, raised her hand and took his arm to make him sit down, and then said to the Marquis Luther: "They are still young and have not participated in much training, so you should not be so strict with them, it is good to give them some opportunities, but don't let them go to the most dangerous places at once." ”

Lady Marianne's fair words immediately made several young Luthor family members at the table look appreciatively.

She glanced at Surdak again, and said casually: "Dak's situation is different from theirs, he has been honing on the frontline battlefield of the Warsaw plane for four years before he is now. I heard that you once escaped with a group of demons in the Warsaw plane, and you were not as strong as those demons at that time, and you also faced the most dangerous situation? ”

Surdak nodded slightly, and whispered about his experience in the hoplite regiment.

Listening to Lady Marianne and Surdak discuss this past, Hathaway and Beatrice were most moved, and they both grabbed his hand under the table, and the eager gaze in their eyes made the other young men at the table particularly jealous.

After dinner, Marquis Luthor continued to call Surdak to the war room to discuss the current situation in the Belin Plane, and at the same time to reveal the information that the Luthor family had in the Belin Plane to Surdak.

The Marquis of Luther stood beside the map, pointed to the black dot at the top of the map, and said to Surdak:

"This time you go to Wilkes City on the White Forest Plane, I don't recommend you choose a suburban town, it is not suitable for your cavalry battalion to grow, I hope you can go to the northernmost town of Dodan, this town has only been established for a short period of fifteen years, for the time being, the relationship between the imperial colonists and the local aborigines has almost reached the freezing point, there are often some conflicts, sometimes even causing large-scale fights, and the aborigines here are still very close to the natives of the unexplored areas, so a strong army is needed here."

Hearing what Marquis Luthor said, Surdak probably understood that Dodan Town was the most chaotic and dangerous of these satellite towns, otherwise he would not have sent a Constructed Knights to sit here.

The Marquis de Luthor went on to say to Surdak:

"Originally, it was a Constructed Knights of the Langdon family stationed here, and they have been suppressing those local natives for the past few years and have been unable to raise their heads, but after all, they have lived in this land for thousands of years, and they are deeply rooted in this land, even if they are stationed in a Constructed Knights, they have not continued to open up much land to the north in recent years, and if you continue to walk north along this wetland for two hundred miles, you can reach the Invercargill Warcraft Forest at the northern end of the White Forest Plane."

He picked up a baton and pointed at the blurred mountain range on the map.

Surdak nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had written it down.

Marquis Luthor continued: "At present, it is the most extensive cold zone forest in the known Warcraft Forest of the Bailin Plane, and most of the Warcraft there are both ice and earth Warcraft, and the resources are very rich, and the plane garrison will probably rarely encounter plane wars, and there are only a few ways to make a profit: the first development business group, where it settles, will bring the caravan wherever it is settled, and transport the local products and resources back to the Grimm Empire for profit." ”

Surdak knew that this caravan mode was more suitable for plane warfare than plane garrisons.

Many caravans took the risk of following the army, and if the war was won, a large amount of booty would be captured, and the army would sell the loot to the merchant groups at the lowest price if the army continued to fight.

I have to say that war is the most lucrative industry, but there is a premise that you have to win.

"Second, open up new territories and develop and build on their own territory." Marquis Luthor said.

This is something that almost all noble lords do.

If you want to be promoted to a knighthood, you need to have enough merit and a territory that matches your status.

In fact, this is what the Marquis of Luthor wants Surdak to do, he doesn't want a noble baron to marry his precious daughter at the wedding, so he will spare no effort to help Surdak form a private army.

Marquis Luthor continued: "The third is to occupy mines in unexplored areas, mining is the most lucrative industry, as long as those raw ores are transported back to the Grimm Empire, you can continuously draw nutrients from the plane. I know that there is a sulfur mine on your territory, and I am sure you must be deeply touched by how profitable the mine is. ”

Surdak nodded.

At present, the development of the village of Wall and the construction of the barren land are inseparable from the financial support of the sulphur mine in Surdak.

Marquis Luthor said: "The last one is to enter the Warcraft Forest, whether it is hunting Warcraft or collecting magic herbs, you will have a good income. At present, there is a large market in the Grimm Empire, especially precious magical beast materials and magic herbs. So if you have the chance, I suggest you visit the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. ”

The last one, Surdak has not yet tried.

However, many adventuring groups and mercenary groups use it 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 sixty kilometers north of Duodan Town, and it is not clear how many reserves there are, but I hope that you can occupy the area north of Duodan Town, so that you can not only have a rich territory, but also occupy a mineral vein, if you can develop this mine, maybe it can support you for greater military spending." Marquis Luthor pointed to a spot above the town of Dodan and said very seriously.

Surdak didn't expect that Marquis Luthor not only chose the location of the garrison, but also investigated the surrounding situation clearly.

Knowing that there was an iron ore vein here, Surdak knew that he could not refuse no matter what, and that the town of Dodan was indeed a perfect fit for him.

At night, Surdak stayed at the Marquis de Luther's palace.

It's a pity that Hathaway didn't pull Surdak to admire her boudoir.

Lady Marianne sent a maid to serve Surdak to bed, and neither Hathaway nor Beatrice could be seen until she fell asleep.

The aristocratic 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 with Chester, the deputy commander of the Luther Legion, Surdak's cavalry battalion officially entered the Luther Legion.

In the following days, Surdak also followed the cavalry battalion cavalry and kept eating in the barracks.

In order to allow these recruits to adapt to the battlefield this morning, Surdak and Andrew have developed a very rigorous training plan for the cavalry in the past few days.

In the 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 training in the afternoon, and literacy in tactical formations in the evening.

Fortunately, the recruits in the barren land have grown up in a difficult environment since childhood, they are more able to endure hardships than others, they have great perseverance and tenacity, and their physical fitness is not up to standard, so they strengthen their physical training without complaint.

In addition to the standard food of the Luthor Legion, Surdak also added some nutritious meals such as meat, eggs, poultry, etc.

After a brief seven-day respite in the barracks outside of Bednar, the Luther Legion officially entered the White Forest Plane.
