Although Surdak didn't know many nobles in Bena City, he was very familiar with the thirteen lord armies that reinforced the Gampo plane.

These lords are considered to be the strongest lords in the cities of Benna, including the Collins, Mende, Owen, Dunstan, Constable, Bothom, Fortix, and many more.

These families also occupy at least one city in the province of Bena, and they also have large territories in other planes, as well as a large number of legions of lords.

It is precisely these legions stationed in various planes of the province of Bena that make the situation in the province of Bena the most optimistic among the provinces of the Grimm Empire.

As a result, Duke Newman's confidence was greatly inflated, and he sent the most elite Bena Legion of Bena Province to the Warsaw plane to participate in the war against the Sanaël Demon Legion.

This war has been fought for nearly four years, not to mention the huge amount of manpower and material resources, and the most uncomfortable thing at present is that the main force of the Bednar Army cannot withdraw from the Warsaw plane for the time being.

A year ago, Duke Newman was reluctant to abandon Handanar on the Warsaw plane, and at the same time, he was also looking forward to some improvement in the Sinosand plane this year, and then sell Handanar County at a good price, hoping that other archdukes would be willing to take over this mess.

But in fact with the Warsaw plane lord Ryan. Duke Bussman made two consecutive stupid moves in the imperial capital, offending the Grimm Empire's Magic Guild on the one hand, and offending the Grimm Empire's Angel Boulder royal family on the other hand, causing the Royal Constructed Knights to withdraw from the Warsaw Plane, and the entire Warsaw Plane immediately turned into a war quagmire.

In just one year, all the Grand Dukes involved in this dimensional war have been deeply involved.

Duke Newman was reluctant to give up Handanaar last year, and now he really can't give up the 200,000 troops of the Bednar Army stationed in Warsaw.

It was under these circumstances that the Duke of Newman hoped that the Provincial Military Department of Bednard would organize a regiment of hoplite infantry to go to the Warsaw plane, so that those infantry soldiers who had reached the deadline for retirement could return to Bednar Province in batches.

Originally, the military headquarters was going to distribute the 20,000 heavy armored infantry to the heads of the lords, but I didn't expect the battle situation on the Ganbu plane to take a turn for the better.

It was also the Marquis of Luthor who proposed at the meeting of the military department to fund the resistance of the Ganbu plane to arm and form a heavy infantry corps, in fact, this investment of the military department was a big profit, not only liberating the Ganbu plane in one fell swoop, but also spending only 70,000 magic crystals to harvest 20,000 elite heavy infantry soldiers.

Now 20,000 hoplite soldiers have successfully reached the Warsaw plane.

The military department doesn't care who rules the Ganbu Plane, but the prerequisite is that the Ganbu Plane must belong to the territory of Bena Province.

It was this opportunity that Surdak seized the opportunity to establish a deep friendship with these thirteen lord armies through the Gampu Plane War.

At the same time, everyone's interests have been bundled, and only by allowing the Ganbu plane to gradually prosper can the other thirteen lords realize the value of the territory industry.

Therefore, in this ball, although the marquis lords behind the thirteen lord armies did not have time to participate in the award ceremony in their respective cities, they all sent members of their families who could represent themselves to Bena City to watch the ceremony.

At this ball, the noble children of the thirteen lord armies approached Surdak one after another.

Of course, what they are most concerned about is what the next move of the dry cloth plane will be, and told Surdak that if there is a shortage of money and people, everyone can sit down together and talk again.

The implication is that if Surdak divides the cake a little more, they will step in to solve the problem of funding the infrastructure of the dry cloth plane.

However, these noble children are at most a message, and they do not have the final decision-making power.

At this ball, everyone got together purely to get to know each other and then see if there was any possibility of working together next.

So Surdak also had his own small circle, and these young men were the successors of the consuls of the cities, and they didn't care about the young nobles of Bena City at all......

……

Edie knew Surdak's identity a little later, and his face turned blue with anger for a while, but he did not threaten to continue to trouble Surdak.

He also put his arm around Grant and Cole's shoulders, and took the initiative to apologize and said, "I blame me for not investigating this matter clearly, and you will also be implicated." ”

Hearing Edie say this, Cole. Norton immediately said, "I don't care, Norton and Luther have a bad relationship with each other, and it doesn't affect me at all." ”

Grant stretched out a hand and said, "I have offended Hathaway and the new earl this time, but these are trivial matters compared to our friendship......

The other young aristocrats patted Grant on the back of his hand, and everyone was very supportive of Grant.

……

Later in the ball, Surdak also felt a little bored here, so he and Hathaway and Beatrice left early.

The Marquis de Luthor and Madame Marianne had already returned to the Marquis's Court early by this time.

In fact, the Marquis of Luthor came forward to participate in this ball, purely to support the Duke of Newman, after all, the Grand Duke of Newman could not attend this ball, so he invited the Marquis who settled in the city of Bena, and asked everyone to come forward to make this ball more grand.

Surdak, Hathaway and Beatrice ran out of Duke Newman's castle, obviously seeing the magic caravan of the Marquis's Mansion waiting in front of the square, but Hathaway grabbed Surdak, took out a card from his bag, and wrote a line on it: 'Let's go first!' Hathaway'

Hathaway then slipped the card and five silver coins into the hands of the attendant at the Duke of Newman's court, and instructed him, "When the ball is over, give this note to the coachman over there......"

The group then walked to the street outside the Duke of Newman's Castle, which was just across the river from the most prosperous shopping street in the aristocratic district.

To reach the bustling shopping street on the other side of the river, you have to detour 800 meters along the river to see an arched stone bridge, and then walk the same distance back to the shopping street on the other side of the river......

So just as Hathaway and Beatrice were discussing how to go around from that side to the other side, Thea stepped into the river with her skirt in her hands.

Frightened, the two young ladies let out a scream, and were about to rush over to rescue Thea, but found Thea standing on the surface of the river easily, this is not a water walk, but a huge wave lifted Thea up, Thea reached out to Hathaway and Beatrice, pulled the two of them to the wave, and Surdak also took the opportunity to jump on it.

A huge wave carried the four of them to the opposite shore, and the spray did not even splash on the skirt of Hathaway's evening dress.
