When the Surdak Lords entered the White Forest Plane last year, Surdak had only two hundred and forty Constructed Knights in Dodan Town at that time.

Now that this lord's army has left Bailin, Surdak's lord's private army has grown to nearly a thousand people, forming two complete Constructed Knights.

One of the two Constructed Knights will remain in the White Forest Plane and continue to garrison the town of Dodan, the First Knights will be led by Andrew, and the other Constructed Knights will return to the Gampo Plane with Surdak. Decker and Samira returned to Ruit with Surdak, so that the Second Knights would be led by Gally. Decker is in charge.

The huge profits won by the plane war have given Surdak the capital to expand his army, and the occupied Dark Worm Valley will continue to send ghost-patterned red ants out every month, and these red ants will become a stable income for Surdak.

100,000 soldiers of the lord army marched through the portal of Wilkes City, through the back garden of Duke Newman's palace, and left the city quickly through the north gate of Bena City, and rested in the temporary barracks outside the city for three days.

Although Surdak has become the number one lord of the White Forest Plane, the White Forest Plane is actually owned by the Newman family, but the Newman family has no energy to develop this plane in recent years, so it has led to the gathering of noble lords in the White Forest Plane, but there is no real leader.

This is very different from the Dry Cloth Plane, where most of the territory currently belongs to Surdak, so he is also the administrator of this plane, and the maintenance costs and a series of benefits for the portal between Mukuso City and Ruit City on the Dry Cloth Plane are also all owned by Surdak.

In the past year or so, this portal has hardly brought any income to Surdak, and almost all the taxes collected by those merchants through the portal have been thrown into the big hole of the daily maintenance of the portal and the loss of magic crystals.

The lord's army entered the city of Bena just around dusk in the evening, and there were still a large number of pedestrians in the streets.

In order to ensure that the lord army can leave Bena City smoothly, the road from the Duke of Newman's palace to the north gate of the city is under martial law by the knights of the Bena City Guard Battalion, and the residents of the city have only heard that this is a lord army returning from the White Forest Plane, and this lord army has won a great victory in the White Forest Plane, although the information is very limited, but it does not affect them to pour into the streets to cheer for this triumphant lord army.

The province of Bednar lacked such a victory, especially since the Duke of Newman and the Bednar Legion were still stuck in the Warsaw plane and could not break free from that quagmire.

The people of Bena Province are at their peak of weariness with the war. In fact, Duke Newman's prestige has also continued to decline during this time, and the people of Bennar have mixed opinions about this duke.

Surdak was the last to leave the Newman Duke's Palace, and he and the captain of each of the lord army checked the number of soldiers who passed through the portal to make sure that none of the lord soldiers returned to Bena City.

When these things are taken care of, Karry. Decker and Samira returned to their makeshift camp outside Bena, and Surdak made another trip to the Marquis de Luther's palace.

…… At present, the 100,000 lord army of Surdak is also a force to be reckoned with in the province of Bena.

For the rapid rise of Surdak, many of the old nobles of Bena Province have not even been able to react, the speed of army expansion is too fast, and this is still a coalition of lords, among which there are Collins family, Owen family, Langdon family and other big lords who occupy a city in Bena Province.

If you want to suppress this lord army, you must definitely consider whether the other big lords will fight back accordingly.

The name 'Lord of Surdak' also spread from the mouths of these family members, after all, no one would hide the news of the victory, this time the war of the Bailin Plane to open up the territory was so smooth, there was no reason not to publicize it.

In the end, some of the nobles of Bena City had already run to the Marquis of Luthor to inquire about Surdak's situation.

When they heard that Surdak's nobility was sent to His Majesty Charles by a joint letter of recommendation from the Marquis of Luther, so they were specially approved nobles, and they couldn't help but praise the Marquis of Luthor for being really accurate.

Surdak rode alone to the Marquis of Luther's palace, and found that what should have been a spacious front courtyard was actually full of all kinds of gorgeous magic caravans parked at this time, and Kenneth Butler stood at the door, as if waiting for Surdak.

When he saw Surdak coming alone on horseback, he hurried to meet him.

"Count Surdak, the Marquis is waiting for you in the living room, there are many nobles in the Marquis Mansion today, they ......" Butler Kenneth has a very good memory, almost gave a detailed description of the nobles who were waiting for Surdak in the living room, and also explained their appearance and characteristics very clearly, and when Surdak walked into the hall of the Marquis Mansion with Butler Kenneth, Surdak first saluted Marquis Luther, and then naturally greeted the nobles in the hall politely.

To everyone's surprise, they had only met once or twice, and some had never even seen Surdak, but Surdak was still able to say their names accurately, which made these nobles have great respect in their hearts.

These people are almost thinking about the same thing in their hearts: 'Look, Lord Surdak actually remembers me......' 'You see, Lord Surdak actually knows me......' In fact, these noble lords in the hall, if it weren't for the temporary reminder from Butler Kenneth, there are really not many Surdak who can call out their names.

The first sentence makes people feel very happy, and the next conversation becomes very pleasant.

Many nobles have a very good first impression of Surdak, at least he is not the kind of arrogant and withdrawn, eccentric personality, only good at fighting, but not good at sociability, and he has the label of the Luthor family very clearly, standing beside the Marquis of Luthor, putting on a very humble appearance, with a faint smile on his face, which immediately won the approval of many lords.

"Luther, you really admire this hand, you know, I have nineteen daughters, and now seventeen are married, and all their husbands together are not as good as your son-in-law." An old white-haired nobleman standing beside the Marquis of Luthor said with a smile.

"Job, don't you want to introduce your little daughter to Duck in front of me?" Marquis Luthor joked.

"I do have such thoughts...... the two seem to be very familiar with each other, and they speak very casually.

"Lord Dark, I heard that you have opened up a large area of land in the Bailin Position to the northeast this time, so do you have any plans for the next step?" Some other nobles couldn't help but take the opportunity to ask at this time.

"Well, for the time being, the army may have to rest for a while, and this time I provoked the Peng Bird in the north, and for a long time in the future, I will mainly defend against the Peng Bird clan in the north." Surdak stood by the side of the Marquis of Luther, patiently dealing with the nobles who crowded in and asked him about his plans for the immediate battle.

For Surdak's answer, the nobles were obviously not satisfied.

"You suddenly led the army back to Gampu this time, are you ready for the next combat goal?" The nobles asked.

Surdak pondered for a moment before he said, "Actually...... No, this time I led the army back to Gampu only to further stabilize the situation on the Gampu plane, and I also returned to Ruyt City this time to be able to rest for a while. We talked until late, and the nobles didn't get any useful information out of Surdak's mouth.

In fact, the reason why Surdak returned to Ruyt City early this time was really to accompany Hathaway to give birth.

This practice is simply unimaginable in the eyes of the nobles of Bena, and even the Marquis of Luthor feels that Surdak is a little too spoiled Hathaway, almost every noble lord of Bena Province has several wives, if they are like Surdak, every wife has to run back to accompany him, then most of the noble lords are either accompanying their wives to give birth in this life, or on the way home to accompany their wives to give birth...... Marquis Luthor also implicitly said that Surdak did not have to do this, but this did not shake Surdak's determination to return to Ruyt, after all, this child was his true blood after coming to this world.

When Surdak didn't think so, no matter what, he hoped that he would be there at the moment of the child's birth.

In fact, the Marquis of Luthor is also very much looking forward to this child, no matter whether Hathaway gives birth to a boy or a girl, this child is the future heir of the Luthor family in the true sense.

Surdak was always by the Marquis of Luther's side, and together they sent the noble lords out of the Marquis's Palace.

It wasn't until the last nobleman got into the magic caravan and left that Marquis Luthor let out a slight sigh of relief and glanced at Surdak with great appreciation.

Back at the Marquis's Palace, the servants in the palace had already begun to clean up the messy hall under the leadership of the butler.

"If you're not sleepy, come up and sit upstairs with me for a while!" Marquis Luthor said to Surdak. ……

"I thought you'd be dealing with the flock of birds in the north after you......" Marquis Luthor said to Surdak as he sat on the sofa on the terrace on the second floor, while the maid brought a plate of fragrant black tea.

Surdak sat opposite the Marquis of Luther, shook his head and said, "For the time being, we don't have the conditions to deal with Peng Bird, the Sky Shooting Crossbow purchased last week only arrived in Wilkes, and it will take at least three months to completely place these Sky Shooting Crossbows." ”

"In addition, I also ordered five magic airships, and the delivery period will be a year later, I think at least until these five magic airships arrive at the Bailin plane, we will have some foothold in the sky and be able to show some strength in air combat!"

"Otherwise, it's just advancing from the ground, and it's not a big threat to those Peng birds in the north!" Surdak held his hot tea and glanced at the brightly lit city of Bena in the distance...... Marquis Luthor said at this time: "I was still worried that you would be carried away by these two victories, and wanted to rush to the north, but I didn't expect you to be more rational than me, you are not wrong at all, the habitat of those Peng birds is not something that we cavalry and infantry can go to, their nest is called Eagle's Nest Mountain, which belongs to the peak of the Beifang Cliff, I don't know if the magic airship can fly there......"

"At the beginning, it was a half-footed legendary great swordsman who explored the nest of the Northern Peng Bird, and it was he who assisted the Bena Legion in establishing such a large occupation area in the White Forest Plane, and also signed a mutual non-interference agreement with the King of Peng Bird at that time."

"Now that Great Sword Master has already entered the Legendary Holy Sword of the Fourth Turn, and entered the Outer Realm to travel the stars decades ago, no one in Bena Province currently knows the exact location of that Eagle's Nest." Surdak didn't speak for a long time, and was silent for a while before he said: "I plan to build a defense line in Thorn Mountain to defend against those Peng birds, and build a dozen anti-air defense fortresses on the top of Thorn Mountain, and the local tribe and aborigines will master the mountain road to the top of the mountain. ”

"The Splinter Mountains are so long, a few fortified fortresses can't stop that flock of birds......" Marquis Luthor shook his head, vetoing Surdak's proposal.

At this time, Madame Marianne entered the terrace through the arch and asked the Marquis Luther, "Would you like to prepare something for you to eat?" ”

"No, I'll just sit here with Duck for a while!" The Marquis of Luthor patted Lady Marianne's hand, and then said, "He was worried about Hathaway, so he hastily ended the plane war in Bailin and hurried back to Ruyt, I don't even know what to say about him!" ”

"If you can stay in the White Forest Plane for two more months, there is still a large area of land around the Three Rivers Plain waiting for you to be drawn into the territory of the territory......" The latter sentence, Marquis Luthor said to Surdak.

Surdak smiled and responded: "I have given up the entire Three Rivers Plain to the other lords, what's the use of fighting for those corner lands, the land of the White Forest Plane is so big, if you want to expand the territory, whether it is to the west of the Invercargill Forest or the south of the Three Rivers Plain, it is easy!" Seeing that Surdak was full of confidence, the Marquis of Luthor asked, "Then do you plan to go west or south next?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, I started the plane war this time, in fact, it is just to raise a start-up fund for the Hanging Gardens and Talapakang Highway in Ruit City, so the next step should be to build Ruyt City and Mukuso City, and strive to transform the Ganbu Plane into a plane suitable for tourism!" Surdak smiled and told Marquis Luthor his intentions again.

Although it had been said many times, this time the Marquis of Luthor listened the most attentively.

"So when you return to Ruit City this time, you are settling down to engage in construction?" Marquis Luthor asked. Surdak nodded, and then added: "Of course, the construction of the Invercargill Forest and the Dark Worm Valley of the White Forest Plane will not be left behind......" Marquis Luthor looked at Surdak a little speechlessly, and suddenly, he found that he couldn't say a word.
