In autumn on the white forest plane, the vast meadow is like a golden wheat field.

Fire. Under the spicy sun, spread a tablecloth on the grass, lay out the prepared sausages, bread and juices, and lie on the grass with a slight slope to see the sheep in the distance.

This is a pasture south of the town of Dodan, where Signa and Nika are running around with their skirts in hand.

They catch grasshoppers in the meadow, which are generally fat and yellowish in color, and there are white-veined glass grasses everywhere, but around the harvest festival, the leaves of these thin needle-like glass troughs turn yellow, and some grass seeds are on the middle ear, and some of them are blown down into the fields by the wind.

The Dodan River is sparkling in the distance, and a row of riverside wooden houses have been built on the north bank of the river, which looks very neat and elegant.

The Temple of the Two Goddesses, located next to the riverside wooden house, has become a popular place in the town of Dotan.

The Warrior Academy in Dodan Town opened a month ago, and the children of more than a dozen wealthy families in nearby towns have gone to the Warrior Academy in Dodan Town.

In the first academic year, more than 600 students were enrolled, and the teachers of the academy came from three places, the garrison camp in the town of Dodan sent ten instructors mainly responsible for military training, and the town hall of Dodan sent two clerks to be responsible for the normal operation of the college, and more than a dozen cleaners, cooks, and gardeners were hired from the town, and even the owners of the town's leather shops, tailors, and blacksmiths became honorary instructors of the college.

Selena also wrote a letter to the Archon of Florion in Wilkes City in the name of Surdak, asking him to help find a few scholars in Wilkes City who were willing to come to Dodan Town to be teachers, mainly responsible for the children's intellectual enlightenment.

Selena sat on the tablecloth and arranged the lunch she had brought with her.

Aphrodite lay on the side basking in the sun, she didn't even hide the demon horns in her hair, and closed her eyes and softly hummed a ballad from the kobold tribe:

'Turn, turn, turn, turn......

Good to me when you're there......

So you have to be good to me......

Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn......'

Surdak lay on Selena's lap without hesitation, enjoying the sun and the food that Selena handed over from time to time.

Surdak looked at Selena, who was in the sunlight with a hint of red on her face, and said:

"I'm going to continue to work hard for you here, I'll continue to stay on the battlefield for another four months, but even if I come back, I'll have to go to the Dry Cloth Plane to deal with the affairs of Mukuso City first, and I'll have to get rid of Clay. Count Cushing handed over the city of Ruyt, and I didn't want to give up the territory here, after all, the copper mine brought a good output every month. ”

Selena paused and listened quietly.

In the days when she was the acting mayor of the town, she already had the air of a superior person.

"When I return to Ruyt, I'm ready to start developing the iron ore on the edge of the Great Rift in Invercargill's Warcraft Forest." Surdak continued.

Selena's eyes widened and asked, "You're going to build an iron mine?" ”

Surdak looked at the rolling grass in the distance, exhaled a long breath and said, "Not only will I build an iron mine, but I will also build a steel workshop in Dodan Town, and transport the ore from Invercargill Forest to Dodan Town for smelting, and sell steel ingots to merchants passing by here. ”

Selena put a piece of cheese on top of a slice of bread and stuffed it into Surdak's mouth, saying, "Do whatever you want, I will always support you in the future." ”

Her long chestnut hair was coiled on top of her head, with a somewhat harsh sheen, and her neck was a little long, and when she looked down, she could see the delicate collarbones.

Surdak reached out and pinched her pointed chin, pulled her head down a bit, and kissed her soft lips.

At this moment, an inopportune voice reached the ears of the two of them.

Aphrodite almost put it on the faces of the two of them, and said to Selena with the sweet voice characteristic of succubi, and it seemed to have a faint seductive power:

"Hey, Selena, don't be so stupid, doesn't that mean something that he sang in the castle of Ruyt with a noble lady in his arms and sang every night, and then asked you to help him watch this county here?"

Selena's face was slightly red, she struggled to push Surdak away, took out an apple and handed it to Aphrodite, and casually retorted:

"What about you! How much better could it be than me? It's not stupid to be dictated by him to run around......"

Aphrodite was speechless when Selena counterattacked, sat in place in a daze, and said a little dazedly:

"We must have fallen under this man's spell! Let the loneliness and grief accumulate every night, and one day they will become wings and help me break through this cage! ”

Surdak looked up and saw a harrier eagle flying in the sky in the distance, and asked Aphrodite:

"Hey, that's your freedom?"

"You ...... guy"

Aphrodite slapped Surdak hard and stood up in a huff to walk away.

Surdak hurriedly grabbed Aphrodi's hand from behind, and Aphrodite struggled symbolically for a moment, and then gently sat down next to the cloth.

There was no such bewitching aura on his body as that of a succubus, and he didn't look at Selena who was teasing on the side, but just asked:

"I heard you're in a bit of trouble over there?"

When Surdak heard Aphrodite ask this, he also patted his forehead with some distress, and said helplessly:

"Well, many people don't like Commander Felix, whether it's the Empire or the Hell Demon Clan, there are people who want him to step down or simply die."

Aphrodite rearranged her long fluffy hair, hid the devil's horn in her hair, and said casually:

"That's all right, why is he still on the battlefield? You should have left early! ”

Surdak sighed and said, "He is a guardian knight who has been chasing his faith, how can he hold back from the battle?" ”

Aphrodite defended: "It's not that there are no battlefields in other places. ”

However, after all, the other party is a three-turn guardian knight, and he is also the commander of at least one legion in the Green Empire, and he is a high-level general of the empire.

Surdak said, "He told me that he really wanted to completely drive the demon army out of the northern part of the seventh district and let the Hell demon army retreat south of Death Ridge...... Because there is a cliff in the middle, there will be at least 300 kilometers of buffer zone between the two sides. ”

Aphrodi looked at Surdak with a smile and said lightly: "The idea is indeed very good, but I guess there will not be too many people in favor!"

"Why do you think that?" Surdak asked curiously.

In fact, this is exactly what Surdak couldn't figure out, as Aphrodite said, after Commander Felix launched this military plan, he encountered layers of obstacles in the Chaos Fortress Empire on the Great Battlefield.

Although this great battle planned by Commander Felix was very much in line with the interests of the Grimm Empire.

However, as soon as it was raised at the high-level meeting of the Chaos Fortress, it was rejected by a group of people.

Aphrodite smiled and said:

"Because you don't quite understand the nature of war yet, and not everyone wants peace."

She took a sip of the sweet fruit wine and said to Surdak:

"O power, O riches! Everyone has a seed called 'ambition' in their hearts, once there is sufficient nourishment, then it will grow from the bottom of their hearts, do you think that driving the Hell Demon Clan to Lingnan will be able to obtain more peace, but some people will not think so, those warmongers will get everything they want in the war, but what can peace bring them? ”

Surdak rubbed his face vigorously with his hands and said, "This topic is really heavy......

Aphrodite took the opportunity to ask, "Felix must have done something very annoying recently, or maybe he did it before." Do you know what he did? ”

Surdak shook his head and didn't speak.

He wasn't the adjutant next to Commander Felix, so how could he know.

Under Selena's influence, the natives of Dodan Town have basically become believers in the Dark Goddess, and they have even received some blessings from the goddess, at least they don't have nightmares at night.

Some of the Imperial immigrants in the town also began to try to worship the Goddess of Darkness, but they also believed in light, and they found that even with dual beliefs, they seemed to have the tacit approval of both goddesses.

However, in the town of Dodan, the number of followers of the Dark Goddess is significantly higher, and these Dark Believers are even found throughout the indigenous tribes of Invercargill Forest.

Signa and Nika catch a basket of grasshoppers and take them back to their neighbor, Mrs. Luna, who has a few hens in her yard.

Tomorrow morning, Aphrodite will follow the Thunder Rhino Merchants into the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, her first stop will be to the copper mines, and then depending on the situation there, she will visit several indigenous tribes at random.

After all, winter is coming soon, and Surdak is worried about the winter storage of the indigenous tribes.

However, the copper mines are now operating normally, and the caravans here enter Invercargill Forest twice a month, and they will not only transport large quantities of copper ingots, but also large quantities of supplies, some of which will be digested by the copper mines, and some of which will be scattered into the indigenous tribes of Invercargill Forest.

In addition, with winter just around the corner, the poisonous mist swamps around the Dark Worm Valley are about to receive a heavy baptism of snow.

When the poisonous fog clears, it is the time when the adventure party and the mercenary group enter the Dark Worm Valley to hunt the ghost-patterned red ants.

In the fall, Camp Chainbridge on the north shore of the Invercargill Forest Rift Valley has gathered many adventuring groups from all over the world, and they are patiently waiting for this killing feast in winter.

Almost all of these trading houses opened in the town of Dodan wanted to do the business of ghost red ants.

The town of Dodan is like a germinated seed in the southern part of the canyon, and the two leaf pods that stretch out of the canyon are the two residential areas of the town, and the whole town has expanded much to the south, and the population of the town has almost doubled compared to when Surdak first arrived.

The town's tax revenue is also ten times higher than when Surdak first arrived......
