The lava mine was warm and dry, and there was a faint smell of sulfur in the cavern, but it wasn't that strong.

The smell came from the lava pools, and looking at Aphrodite, who was lazily lying on a wicker chair, her lower abdomen seemed to have recovered to its original state, and her lower abdomen had become very flat again, and she looked at Surdak with a faint expression, and she had no intention of speaking.

Two kobold slaves were kneeling at her feet, fanning her with a fan.

There are also two kobold slave girls looking after the little one in the cradle.

When Surdak leaned over to see her, the little one was dreaming in the cradle, and he could tell that she was sleeping soundly.

"Didn't you say that the due date is next spring?" Surdak asked, a little puzzled, crouching by the cradle and couldn't help touching his fleshy little hand with his hand.

I heard that it was easy to make the baby drool when he always touched his face, so Surdak gave up on the idea.

"You can't always measure a succubus by human standards." Aphrodite put aside a travelogue in his hand and looked at Surdak with some contempt in his eyes.

Surdak stood up, turned and walked over to Aphrodite, and sat down in her wicker chair.

The magic robe seemed to cover her plump body, and the seductive outline outlined underneath the magic robe made Surdak's mouth dry at first glance.

"Uh...... I don't think you're any different from me. Surdak said to Aphrodite.

Aphrodite shook her head, her slightly narrowed purple eyes reopened, and said to Surdak, "Don't forget that we live in hell, where vast tracts of land are barren, where volcanoes flow with magma all year round, and where the sky is cloudy all day long...... The races that survive here have some special survival instincts. ”

Then he said: "Take us succubi as an example, we are born with charming eyes, and our bodies have long been adapted to the living environment in hell. ”

"The sixteen-month due date is full of full-term succubi."

"Those little succubi, when they come out of their mother's womb, already master most of their mother tongue, but in fact, the succubus is pregnant in the mother's womb for eight months, and it has the conditions for birth."

"If it's in the hell world, the living environment outside is worrying, so he usually stays in the mother's body for sixteen months, but the environment here is more suitable for him to grow up, so I'll let her come out early."

Aphrodi hooked Surdak by the neck with both hands and pressed his body up from behind.

"So you're a premature baby?" Surdak asked, frowning.

A smug smile rose at the corner of Aphrodi's mouth, she understood Surdak's thoughts, and the man in front of her must have been dissatisfied in his heart, so he frowned and spoke.

Aphrodite replied very calmly: "It can also be said that the environment here is not so bad, and coming out early is good for his growth." ”

"......" Surdak looked at the little padded jacket in the cradle with some distress, he didn't think that coming out so early would be any good for the little padded jacket, so he complained: "You are a little too early......

Aphrodite raised her delicate eyebrows, glanced at Surdak with a pair of bright purple eyes, and said casually, "What? I can't bear it...... If you don't like what I'm doing, you can take her to Ruyt. ”

Dumbfounded by Aphrodite's casual words, Surdak could only say embarrassedly: "That's not it." ”

Aphrodite lay back on the wicker chair, waved her hand casually, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, I'm annoyed when I see you!" ”

Thinking that women can be a little nervous after giving birth, Surdak said, "I'll go see Isser." ”

After saying that, he went to the red crystal cluster to pick a bag of red crystals, and walked towards the depths of the cave......

……

Just as Surdak was about to start enjoying the good summer, a requisition order from the Provincial Military Department of Bena was sent to him again.

In fact, Surdak knew about the situation as early as spring.

The call came at least a little more than a month later than he expected......

In view of the increasingly serious situation in the Warsaw plane, the current Grand Duke of Newman has the idea of withdrawing the Bednar army from Handanaarshire, just to withdraw the front-line army from the Warsaw plane little by little, it is necessary to have troops to replenish the battlefield in Handanaarshire.

This time, Surdak's lord army shined in the Bailin plane, and when it entered the Bailin plane, there were only 50,000 lord troops, and when they came out of the Bailin plane, the lord army had expanded to 100,000, such a dazzling record, it was difficult not to be noticed by Duke Newman.

And just this year, Grand Duke Newman's side finally made some moves.

According to the request of Archduke Newman, the lords of the province of Bednar will organize a large army of lords to enter the Warsaw Plane and try to make a final fight on the battlefield of the Warsaw Plane, after which the Bednar Legion will withdraw from the Warsaw Plane regardless of success or failure.

On the instructions of Duke Newman, the provincial military headquarters of Bednard recruited troops willing to enter the Warsaw plane from the private armies of various noble lords.

And Surdak's lord army has now grown to 100,000 troops, so naturally it can't avoid this call-up, and because of Surdak's outstanding military achievements, the military department appointed the supreme commander of Surdak's reinforcement troops in the Western Route Army.

It is said that this requisition of troops was a great move, and many of the great lords of other parts of Bena Province also sent private troops, with a total strength of about 210,000.

This large-scale conquest can be said to be the last support of the lords of Bena Province to Duke Newman's conquest of the Warsaw plane, if the reinforcement operation is successful, then there will be an army into the Warsaw plane in the future, but if such a large army enters the Warsaw plane, the situation there has not improved yet, which will have a great impact on the prestige of the Grand Duke of Newman.

There were almost 150,000 heavy infantry, 30,000 light cavalry, 20,000 heavy cavalry, and 10,000 assembled soldiers.

The so-called constructed warriors include the unique constructed swordsmen and a small number of constructed knights in Bena Province, and it is not easy to form a constructed knight order in Bena Province.

150,000 hoplites, or nearly 100 hoplite regiments, will join the Warsaw Plane War, and a large part of these hoplite regiments will be willing to obey Surdak's command.

The light cavalry is divided into two types: scout rangers and archers.

Surdak is one of the supreme commanders of this group of reinforcements, and he can become the supreme commander because of the recommendation of some lords, most of whom are lords who have tasted the sweetness of Surdak in the Gamp plane and the Bailin plane, and the military department asked them to send a part of the army to support the Warsaw plane, which is no problem, but they require that the commander of the reinforcements must be Surdak, otherwise they will refuse to participate in the war.

It was for this reason that Surdak was elected as the supreme commander of the Western Route Army.

These lords have a large number of hoplites in their hands, so there are also a lot of hoplites assigned to Surdak.

This time, Surdak will lead 100,000 heavy infantry and 10,000 heavy cavalry, and 5,000 knights in uniform to form a large number of Western Route Army and enter the Warsaw plane.

The commander of the Eastern Route Army is the Marquis of Norton, although the number of heavy infantry of the Eastern Route Army is only 50,000, but their cavalry is 40,000, and they also have 5,000 armored swordsmen.

Seventy percent of the lord army under Surdak is the old team of the original lord army alliance.

As for the logistics baggage regiment, it will be the special responsibility of the military department, because almost no one among the Bena merchants is willing to enter the Warsaw plane and become the merchant group of a certain lord's army, so the current logistics materials can only rely on the military department to organize the manpower to transport them in.

……

Just over a month after Hathaway gave birth to little Vent, the Marquis of Luthor and Lady Marianne arrived at the airport docks in Ruit City in a magical airship.

Surdak left what he was doing and ran to the airport dock with Hathaway and Beatrice to greet him.

This time, Marquis Luthor came to Ruyt City, in addition to visiting Hathaway and Little Vent, he also came to see the preparations for the expedition of the Surdak Lord Army, after all, this time it will be an expedition to the Warsaw plane, and the provinces of Bednar and Evorsen are thousands of miles apart, and if you take a magic airship from Bena City, it will take at least a month to fly to reach Evorsen City.

However, it is only a transit station, and you have to enter the Warsaw plane through the portal over there.

Almost all of Surdak's lords' armies were stationed in the barracks outside the city of Mukuso, and after this conquest of the White Forest Plane, the lords' coalition army was not disbanded, and the army was stationed outside the city of Mukuso, waiting for this requisition order from the military headquarters.

The Marquis of Luthor first walked around the city of Ruit, first at the dining square, then on the city wall to see the half-built Hanging Gardens and the Thanan Avenue, and then entered the city through the portal that day.

Seeing the brand-new city, the thriving streets, and the vitality everywhere made the Marquis of Luthor completely reassured of the level of Surdak's governance of the city.

"How are the military departments going to send us over?" Surdak stood on the outer wall of Mukuso and asked the Marquis of Luthor curiously.

"A temporary teleportation circle will be set up outside Bena City, and all the armies will enter Ivorson City through the temporary teleportation circle, after all, it is more than 200,000 troops, although it costs a lot to set up a temporary teleportation circle, but it is also easier than using a magic airship to transport troops." Marquis Luthor replied.

His gaze fell on the neatly arranged two-story buildings in the outer city, and when he withdrew his gaze, he said to Surdak:

"With a temporary teleportation array, this expedition is quite sufficient."

"And it's a round-trip ticket, and when you enter Warsaw, tens of thousands of Bona Legion soldiers will be withdrawn from the battlefield."

"Speaking of which, this is the last transfer of the lord army in the province of Bena, and if it still can't open the situation in the Warsaw plane, Duke Newman will order the entire line to withdraw from the Warsaw plane."

When he said this, Marquis Luthor couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

"The situation in the Warsaw plane is so serious?" Surdak asked in surprise, because Duke Newman had been guarding the Warsaw plane for so many years, and it was likely that he would eventually return to Bena Province without a single harvest, and it would be very frustrating just to think about it.

Marquis Luthor nodded and said:

"Duke Bussmann offended the royal family of Angibald, lost the support of the royal family, and at the same time lost a series of defeats in the battle of the Warsaw plane, completely depriving the lords of the province of Evorsen of the last bit of confidence."

“……”

Surdak didn't speak.

Immediately there was silence at the head of the city, and after a long silence, Surdak seemed to remember something, and asked the Marquis of Luther:

"Can I bring a little more cannon fodder this time?"

Marquis Luthor was slightly stunned, although there were some cannon fodder regiments in each army, but no one said it so bluntly like Surdak.

Marquis Luthor thought for a moment before he said to Surdak:

"It can't be too much, I'm worried that the military logistics corps will not be able to supply it, after all, the province of Ivorson is in the midst of a great depression, and the financial situation of the province of Bednar is also very worrying at the moment."

"Fifty thousand!" Surdak held out five fingers and said.

Marquis Luthor, who was standing at the head of the city, holding the battlements with one hand, shook his hand violently, and then returned to nature.

"Heavy infantry?" Marquis Luthor asked, to be honest, the amount of cannon fodder surprised him a little, too much.

"Where do I have so many hoplites, it's the ghost-patterned ant......" Surdak replied casually.

Hearing Surdak say this, Marquis Luthor breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Got it, it seems that the Bailin Plane has gained quite a lot in the first battle." ”

……

In the castle, Hathaway and Lady Marianne sat by the cradle and whispered to each other.

Marquis Luthor and Surdak walked in from the outside one after the other, Marquis Luthor saw little Wente in the cradle, his sharp eyes instantly melted, regardless of the fact that little Went was still asleep, he took the warm towel handed by the maid and wiped his hands and face, put his hands into the cradle, and picked up little Wente.

"Put it down, you're going to make him very uncomfortable with it......" Lady Marianne hurriedly stopped.

The Marquis of Luthor did not say anything more, and hurriedly handed little Went to Lady Marianne.

looked at Hathaway, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and then looked at the ruddy-faced little Went lying in the cradle with his eyes closed, and said to Hathaway:

"If you feel tired, feel free to take him to Bednar City for a while, and ask Marianne to help you ......"

"Got it." Hathaway glanced at her father gratefully and said sweetly.

"What a sweet little guy." Marquis Luthor leaned over again, looked at little Went and praised.

The Marquis de Luthor stayed only one night in the city of Ruyt, and then left in a hurry.

Madame Marianne would stay in Ruyt for two months.

All the lords' armies on Surdak's side needed to be reorganized, and it was busy entering September, and just when Surdak's army had been mobilized, an urgent letter from the city of Highlandsa was delivered to Surdak as soon as possible.

Surdak tore open the envelope, and there was only one line on the pale yellow parchment stationery:

'Darcy. Christie is critically ill and comes quickly. ’
