Not too far from the camp, a free market had been set up by the merchant regiments.

The free market is full of all kinds of goods, but the stall owners here are all doing the same thing, which is to buy Warcraft materials.

After two months of precipitation, the price of these Warcraft materials in the market has gradually become clear.

Surdak stood on the watchtower at the gate of the camp, looking at the crowded market, and suddenly felt that the taste of leading the lord army to the Bailin plane this time had actually changed a little, this lord army has now become the largest hunting gang in the Three Rivers Plain, and there are convoys all day long to bring back the spoils, and finally after a series of sorting, it will flow into the free market not far away.

Fifty thousand lords scattered across the vast plains, capturing the swamp crocodiles and creating a fortune at breakneck speed.

Surdak divided half of this wealth with the lords who were willing to join him in the White Forest Plane this time, and the intercepted half was to build a large dam at the exit of the Grand Canyon, according to Surdak's plan, this large dam will be completed by this time next year, and then the water resources of the Three Rivers Plain can be controlled with the help of this dam.

While the Lords have not yet been able to claim ownership of the territory, it is only a matter of time before the application process is made.

Some noble lords in the Bailin plane did not want to admit that such a large area of the Three Rivers Plain was so easily occupied by Surdak, thinking that with the help of the power of hundreds of adventure groups in Wilkes City, he only controlled half of the Three Rivers Plain now, so he did not admit this territory expansion in the unknown area.

Surdak didn't think there was anything about it, since the lord's army had already left footprints here, then the moment this land was finally conquered, his name would definitely be on the boundary monument.

……

A cool breeze blew from the watchtower, and Surdak suddenly saw that in the afterglow of the setting sun, an army with a magnificent flag had appeared.

At dusk, the army slowly came along the river.

Some of the knights carrying the flag looked a little listless, the road was a little muddy, and a group of knights didn't look very energetic.

Ignoring the strange army, Surdak turned his gaze to the sparkling river.

A month ago, there were countless salamander ghost snakes in this river, and now, it is estimated that even the shadow of the snake is difficult to find.

Not far in front of the camp, an arched bridge had been erected, seven piers controlled each span of the bridge at about fifteen meters, and even the bridge deck had been repaired very smoothly, and the army actually stopped at the side of the bridge, and a middle-aged man dressed in a splendid aristocratic costume walked up the bridge with a scepter in his hand, surrounded by a group of guards.

The queues on both sides of the bridge stopped.

……

Aphrodite wore a Mithril mask and sat quietly beside Surdak.

Recently, she can always be seen in the garrison of the lord's army, and everyone seems to have become accustomed to the appearance of a mysterious alchemist by Surdak's side from time to time, and it is no surprise to see this.

This watchtower can be seen far away, and Surdak can clearly see that the Zirathush River in front of it draws a bewitching S-shaped curve on the land, and the land on both sides is so flat.

A caravan was just about to leave, and four-wheeled wagons were loaded with goods.

But at this moment, they were waiting on the side of the road, allowing the honor guard with the magnificent flag to pass first, but the nobleman expressed his feelings on the bridge deck, and refused to return to the magic caravan for a long time.

Surdak retracted his gaze with some impatience.

Aphrodite raised her delicate Mithril mask and asked him, "When are you going to Camp Bridgehead in the Rift Valley?" ”

Surdak sighed slightly, he also hoped that the territorial certificate here would be issued as soon as possible, and then move to the north of the Great Rift Valley.

However, the news sent by the Chester Great Swordsman from the Wilkes City Military Headquarters did not mention the ownership of the Three Rivers Plain, and it was obvious that the nobles of Wilkes City did not want to admit that even if this plain was opened up by Surdak.

Surdak could only shake his head and say, "Wait...... It's still too late, the lords of Wilkes still don't admit that this place is occupied by us, and we have to leave more traces! ”

His eyes fell on the nobleman on the bridge at this moment, and it looked like he must have been a Territorial Administration official who had arrived from Wilkes City.

Aphrodite didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and asked Surdak:

"Do you want me to go to Ruyint City? So you can go and see them......"

Surdak knew that when she said 'they', she meant Hathaway and Beatrice, after all, Hathaway was now a pregnant woman like her.

“……”

Surdak didn't talk to him at this time, he obviously didn't know how to deal with this complicated relationship.

What he was thinking in his heart was...... Shouldn't Aphrodite and Hathaway be hostile at this time?

Aphrodite had a symbiotic contract with him, and she was also a little sensitive to what he was thinking, so at this time she leaned close to Surdak and whispered to his ear, "Are you worried about me?" ”

Surdak hesitated for a moment before asking, "At this time...... If I asked you to walk that far just to see them, would you feel uncomfortable? ”

Aphrodite's face under the mask had an inexplicable smile, and then he said calmly: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly found that I really felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, then...... Never mind? ”

"Hmm."

Surdak nodded in agreement.

Aphrodite rested her head on Surdak's shoulder.

……

Standing on the platform of the thunderous rhinoceros, Samira looked at Aphrodite with great depression, her elf-like pointed ears fluttering, and she could see that she was in a bad mood.

The other crossbowmen on the platform returned to the camp, and the cabin behind them was Samira and Jiali. Decker's dormitory, where two people live, is more convenient.

Jiali. Decker took off her heavy armor from her sweaty body, revealing a toned figure wearing only a small vest, she shook her long black straight hair, looked in the direction of Samira's gaze, and said:

"Tsk...... We really don't pick anything, even succubi...... Samira, I think you should try to be more proactive, you can't keep doing this. ”

The half-elf archer, a little irritable, jumped on the bed crossbow in front of him, and sat at the console without saying a word.

……

Just before dark, a delegation from Wilkes City slowly stopped at the camp gate

The leader was the noble lord of the Bailin plane, who held a golden cane in his hand, followed by a row of ornate honor guards, about fifty people, followed by a convoy.

One of his attendants walked up to the guards and shouted to the camp guards, "We are from Wilkes and want to see Lord Count Surdak!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter of visit from his bosom and handed it to the guard at the camp gate.
