1376. Prom
The 100,000 hoplites of the Western Route Army crossed the wide central street of Epson City and hurriedly left the central city with the largest population and the largest floor area on the Warsaw plane.
On a sunny dirt slope outside the city, the Western Route Army camped here, and according to the military department's logistics department, the army needed to stay in Epson City for two days to get the next half month's food supply, but these food did not include the rations of the ghost soldier ants.
These 50,000 ghost-patterned soldier ants are the biggest trouble for the logistics department of the military department, as the quartermaster Louisfitch said, and there is no such thing as ghost-patterned soldier ants in the planned material supplies, and now even if you want to move a batch of food from other places to the ghost-patterned soldier ants, you can't raise them immediately in a hurry.
Although these soldiers are omnivores, even wood and bones are eaten, Surdak asked the military department to purchase a batch of cattle and sheep.
The ghostly red ants had just leveled the swamp outside of Ivorson and were now outside Epson, and the Druyin only needed to drive them into the forest, and the group would be able to hunt on their own, and of course, before entering the forest, the cavalry had to enter the forest area in advance to make sure that the forest was empty.
Otherwise, once they are used as prey by this group of soldier ants, they will eat people without spitting out bones.
Surdak has no better way to raise this group of ghost soldier ants, but fortunately, they eat almost everything in the forest and are not very picky eaters.
In addition, the material supply line of the logistics department of the military department is too single, which inevitably makes Surdak a little worried, once this logistics supply line is broken, it is not easy to raise enough materials in the Warsaw plane, and some things must be prepared in advance.
Thinking of this, Surdak ran to the city of Highlandsa overnight, and asked Aphrodite to prepare a piece of supplies on the side of the city of Highlandsa in case of emergency.
The population of the mountain city of Hailanza is less than 300,000, and the size of the city is not large, so the city merchant houses will not hoard too much grain, and Aphrodite needs to make a reservation with the merchant house in advance if he wants to purchase food.
However, Aphrodite didn't need to intervene in this kind of thing, as long as she found a postman to relay Surdak's letter to Karl on the guard barracks.
Surdak put a bag of magic crystals next to the fireplace, watching Aphrodite gently push the cradle, he couldn't help but aim at the pink and jade daughter in the cradle, and he didn't dare to look more, even if there was some pampering in his eyes, Aphrodite, as a mother, would be jealous next to him.
The daughter in the cradle seemed to like to sleep very much, and every time she was full, she would become very honest and lie in the cradle until she woke up hungry.
According to Aphrodite, her daughter was born before she was a month old, and during this period, she slept when she was full and ate when she woke up.
I am afraid that this state will last for another seven or eight months, and for Aphrodite, the most obvious change is that the body has become much plump, especially in some places that cannot be said.
"How's the situation on the Warsaw plane?" Soft lips pressed into Surdak's ear and whispered.
I have to say that the succubus is really endless in this regard, and she seems to be able to easily arouse the desire in Surdak's heart. Look.
Surdak turned his head to meet Aphrodite's coquettish face and kissed it, and said casually:
"According to the liaison officer sent by Duke Newman, Duke Newman seems to have an idea to expand the occupation zone of the Warsaw plane, and at present, the Bednar Legion only occupies Handanaar County, and Duke Newman seems to have the idea of occupying Kornberg, it is worth noting that Kornberg County has fallen and belongs to the occupation zone of the Devil Legion."
The rattan chair was a little overwhelmed by the two of them......
Aphrodite first asked the maid to carry her daughter back to the next room, and then turned off the wall lamp in the bedroom, leaving only the room with the dark red charcoal fire of the fireplace.
She sat on the thick carpet with her arms on Surdak's knees and her chin on her arms, looking at Surdak from below and up through the faint light.
It was quiet in the room, the curtains were not closed and you could see the lights of a row of houses across the street reflected through the windows.
"Your Lord Duke is really ambitious, and it seems that he still wants to swallow Warsaw?" Aphrodite's eyes are charming, and this atmosphere doesn't look like a good time to talk about things.
Surdak stretched out his hand to touch Aphrodi's smooth and pretty face, and said, "I'm afraid that the military strength of Bena Province alone is not enough, it depends on whether the Duke can contact the great lords of other provinces." Moreover, the specific date for the capture of Kornberg County has not yet been set, and the specific day of the attack depends on when the Duke of Ryan dies! ”
Aphrodite's eyes were like stars in the night sky, but she chuckled: "If you say this, it seems that everyone is hoping that this Duke will die soon......"
Pull Surdak up from the wicker chair......
Aphrodite threw her arms around Surdak from behind, her warm breath spraying around his neck, and a few golden oaks in the fireplace of the room had been completely burned out, and there was still a trace of sparks in the silver frost ash inside.
There seemed to be wind in the bedroom, making the set of wind chimes hanging at the head of the bed tinkle pleasantly, and the crisp music seemed to last for a long time.
Aphrodite was lying on the bed, her entire crest was exposed, and her back was implanted with two ghostly patterns of life and the queen's life pattern, which now seemed to have completely melted into her body, and the picture on it seemed to have undergone some changes.
When she ran the life pattern, the two pairs of wings like insect wings would immediately appear on her back, and as long as she injected a little magic into the pattern, the pair of wings would become mana-woven wings behind her, and she was like a flower fairy with demonic horns on her head.
"How could there be such a change?" Surdak still knows a lot about his own handwriting, and he clearly remembers that the magic pattern implanted at the beginning did not have so many lines, nor did it cover the entire back.
Aphrodite seemed to be well aware of the changes in her back, and explained to Surdak:
"This life magic pattern was implanted in my body, and after a period of fusion, it became a part of my body, and at the same time, my own strength is also growing, especially after making up for the defects of wings, the source of power, my power has increased significantly, because my strength is growing, and the magic pattern behind me is also growing......"
In the end, Aphrodite concluded: "In other words, after the life magic pattern you implanted in us is integrated into our body, it will have certain growth attributes. ”
"It's still ...... like this"
Surdak was a little surprised, but at the same time seemed to be expected, after all, it was implanted with the Life Demon Pattern.
The life pattern on Aphrodite's back has changed so much because she has regained her wings and regained her original strength, which has made her body make a qualitative leap, so the growth of the life pattern has become obvious.
……
The aristocratic officials of Epson prepared a grand ball for the generals of Bednar's reinforcements.
The ball was held in the inner courtyard of the town hall, and was attended by almost all the nobles who remained in Epson City, and the highlight of the ball was that the inner cloister was filled with young girls in evening gowns or white gauze skirts, from the beginning of the cloister to the end of the inner cloister.
Under the warm-colored wall lamps in the cloister, the appearance of these young girls in Epson City is still very online.
Probably considering that the generals of the Bednar reinforcements did not have a suitable dance partner at the ball, the noble officials of Epson City put a lot of thought into it.
Seeing so many young and beautiful girls standing here, Surdak's eyes saw the Warsaw plane, because this protracted plane war seemed to have caused a sharp imbalance in the ratio of men and women in the entire plane.
Melodious music could be heard from under the flowers and trees in the inner court, as one of the two supreme commanders of the Bena reinforcements, Surdak and Edmund. The Marquis of Arnold enjoyed the highest treatment, all under the auspices of Anselm, the consul of Epson. Accompanied by the Marquis of Bradford.
The inner courtyard of the town hall looks like a huge garden and is also the perfect place for balls and cocktail parties.
The ornate inner courtyard is surrounded by a high inner cloister that makes the space feel more private, and every cloister column is a beautiful sculpture, and there is a spacious dance floor and even a lectern beneath a tall statue.
The noble lords of Epson City stood in the inner courtyard with female rolls, dressed in gorgeous costumes, and chatted in twos and threes.
Wait until Anselm. Lord Bradford led the generals of Bednar's reinforcements into the inner courtyard, and there was a round of applause in the courtyard, and even the girls came up to Edmund Anderson. The Marquis of Arnold and Surdak presented a wreath of golden-tailed mandarin ducks,
The blonde in the low-cut gown almost stood on tiptoe as she put a garland around Surdak's neck, her snow-white arms holding the wreath high.
She got close enough to bend Surdak, her bulging breasts almost hitting him......
Surdak felt like she did it on purpose.
Anselm. Lord Bradford's Archon strode over to the podium, and as he raised his hands, the music and small talk stopped.
The inner courtyard suddenly fell silent, this space is relatively close, and the voice of standing in the middle of the courtyard will be amplified......
"Most of the Bradford family's estate is in the Warsaw plane, and my great-great-great-grandfather was one of the first lords to open up the Warsaw plane, and at the beginning, with the old Duke Bussmann, he opened up three counties on this land, and then after a long period of development, the Warsaw plane only had seven counties."
"At the beginning, our ancestors also thought that once the Warsaw plane was invaded by foreign enemies, the seven counties had built a heroic city that could defend against foreign enemies, but now...... In the past few years, there has been a continuous war, and in the last two years, a large amount of resources have even been imported from the province of Evorsen, but the situation in the plane has not improved, and now there are only three counties left in the entire Warsaw plane, and the population is less than half of the heyday. ”
"You have come from all over the province of Bena, and you are willing to help us defend ourselves against the demons of the Abyss, and as a native of Warsaw, we sincerely express our gratitude!"
"The provinces of Bednar and Ewalson have had the strongest friendship in the alliance for so many years, and this friendship has indeed stood the witness of time, and I have seen the Archduke Newman more times in recent years than the Duke of Ryan, please allow me to offer the highest respect to the Duke of Newman......"
Anselm. Lord Bradford's Archon said a lot of things in a loud voice, and then the ball began in a cheerful atmosphere.
Sure enough, the blonde girl who had originally presented Surdak with a wreath boldly walked up to Surdak and invited him to do his first dance.
Even Anselm. The Marquis of Bradford smiled and said to Surdak: "Monica is a good girl, I hope Commander Surdak will have a memorable evening......"
Surdak didn't know if this night was unforgettable, but from Samira's eyes, Surdak clearly knew that if the first dance dared to dance with the blonde girl in front of him, some people would probably suffer very serious consequences.
So Surdak decisively refused, and then in Jiali. Under Decker's smiling gaze, he invited the half-elf beauty Samira to dance the first dance.
This ball, Edmond. The Marquis of Arnold always looked at Samira and Carry. Decker on both sides.
It wasn't until the end of the dance and when he walked out of the town hall that the commander of the Eastern Route Army couldn't help but be curious and asked Surdak: "Where did you find them?" There are very few female warriors themselves, and they can basically only be seen in adventure groups and mercenary groups, and it is even rarer to be able to become a second-turn powerhouse, and you actually have two ...... with you Gee! ”
This is Edmond. The first time Marquis Arnold took the initiative to speak to Surdak, Surdak was a little unacceptable that he was actually talking about two of his followers.
"The Half-Elf Archer was met during the battle of the Maga Plane Warzhmara, when I healed her arm, and this heavy musketeer met on the battlefield and later joined my battle group." Surdak didn't hide it either, and said truthfully.
Edmond. The Marquis of Arnold stood on the steps and reached out and patted Surdak on the shoulder.
"During my stay in Pena City, many people mentioned you to me, saying how good you are, and you also successfully robbed a piece of fat that was favored by Archduke Newman-the Dark Worm Valley of the White Forest Plane, so I was recruited to the Warsaw Plane. To be honest, I didn't think much of you at first, but through the observation of the past few days, I have to change the initial wrong decision, and all your performances have proved that you are a very good commander. ”
"Here, maybe we should reacquaint ourselves!" Edmond. A smile crossed the corner of the Marquis Arnold's lips, and then he said, "Hello! Surdak, I'm Edmund. Arnold! ”
He's the kind of commander who has a lot of charisma, and he speaks with a lot of fan.
Surdak, however, stood there a little confused......
'What am I doing?' ’
