The furniture in the dining room is in a rough and satisfying style, the wooden table is extraordinarily thick, the long stools are also broken from the middle, the one that has been flattened by the planer is facing up, and a few stool legs are crudely nailed underneath, and they are placed on either side of the table.

The walls of the wooden panels could be seen all around the room, and Surdak looked at the cream soup on the plate, wiped his hands, and then broke a piece of white bread and dipped it in the soup and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste was much worse than expected, the soup was cold, and in addition to the milky taste, there was a cold, fishy and very greasy taste, which felt like eating some meat oil on top of bread.

If it weren't for the fact that Duke Newman had just finished the soup on his plate and finally wiped the bottom of the plate with bread, Surdak might have even thought that the soup might have been cooked specifically for him.

But apparently Duke Newman did not need to do this.

Thinking of this, Surdak stared at the milky white liquid on his plate, wondering what had been added to it to make this soup so unpalatable.

Duke Newman's eyes seemed to be able to see everything, and he saw that Surdak did not take a second bite of bread dipped in the soup, but looked at the plate with a hesitant expression, and only then did he really believe what Marquis Luthor had told in his letter.

The young man in front of him was really from a civilian family, and although he had now become a great lord of the Ganbu plane, he had not yet had much contact with the lifestyle of the nobles.

What Surdak didn't know was that the white bread on this plate was indeed very ordinary, but the dipping sauce was made from the marrow of a mayfly mixed with milk.

Regular consumption of mayfly bone marrow can improve the body's mana affinity, this thing can be said to be a good item on the table of the upper nobles, and only a big man like Duke Newman can bring such a precious ingredient to the table.

Surdak meticulously drank the creamy soup on his plate, shoving the last bit of white bread into his mouth.

The food in his stomach had already released a trace of mana, and his stomach had made the most correct response at the moment, he was not full, and he seemed to be even hungrier after eating the soup and white bread on the plate.

Duke Newman seemed to have known this for a long time, and his eyes fell on Surdak's back.

A cook immediately brought a plate of five cutlets, which were still very delicately cut and even topped with some pepper sauce, but there was something wrong with the doneness of these steaks, and Surdak thought that they might have been taken out in less than three seconds after being placed in the frying pan.

The five slices of meat steak were only lightly fried, and the skin only changed color slightly.

The steaks looked more like raw meat, but they were so fresh that Surdak felt the muscle fibers of the steaks still shaking......

Surdak only forked two pieces and lowered the fork.

He found that the food on the table was very ordinary, and he could not have imagined that Duke Newman's daily life would be so close to the people.

When Duke Newman saw that Surdak had only forked two slices of fried meat, he motioned to the cook to fork two more pieces for Surdak, and finally simply put the last piece on Surdak's plate as well.

"The cold soup just now is mixed with some mayfly bone marrow, so the taste may be a little weird, but as long as you get used to it, you will find that it is greasy and mellow."

Duke Newman handed the napkin to the maid beside him before speaking to Surdak.

Surdak hadn't even heard of it, but he knew that as long as the food had the word 'dragon' in it, it couldn't be cheap.

He looked down at the steaks on his plate with a slight realization, not knowing what the raw meat was saying.

Duke Newman's deep and gentle voice came again: "This is the neck meat of the two-necked dragon produced in the Dendrobium plane, and after hunting, in order to maintain the freshness of the food, it is sent here all the time. ”

Surdak opened his mouth wide and picked up a slice of meat steak with his fork, not even recognising that it was actually a piece of earth dragon meat.

The attendant brought a cup of tea to Duke Newman, who looked at Surdak with gentle eyes:

"Young people have a good appetite to eat more, after the second turn, relying on hard exercise, can no longer meet the accumulation of physical strength, some people choose to stimulate the inner potential in the body, some choose to use external forces to improve strength, such as reaching some contracts with the elemental world."

"The food supplement is a relatively mild way to improve strength, the only disadvantage of this method is that the progress is slow, and you need to stick to it for a long time to feel the increase in strength."

"Although the resources of the Dry Cloth Plane are scarce, at least one of the Plane Lords, I know that you are running the Dry Cloth Plane quite well now, as long as you can stabilize the situation in Mukuso, it is not difficult to have what you are looking for."

Taking advantage of Surdak's steaks, Duke Newman began to pour chicken soup into Surdak.

After all, the young knight in front of him was the commander of the Western Route Army, and his descendants accounted for half of the Western Route Army.

If in the last two years, Bena Province has the most dazzling record, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Edmund . The Marquis of Arnold is indeed in the first place, after all, he has achieved brilliant results in Loki, and he has won countless battles over the years, and he has always surpassed the Marquis of Luthor in terms of military merits.

But the Marquis of Luthor and the young man he chosen......

Duke Newman knew that it was the young officer in front of him, and he was also considered to be a distinguished soldier.

Twice against the Demon Legion, although it is only the Hellhound Legion, but it can complete the turnaround against the wind in an isolated situation, which Edmund . The Marquis de Arnold estimated that it would be difficult to do so.

The province of Bena needs such a good plane lord.

This time Duke Newman put Edmund . Marquis Arnold and Surdak were both summoned to the Warsaw plane, mainly to take the opportunity to investigate, and also to reverse the difficult situation of the Warsaw plane, although the Warsaw plane is now rotten to the bone, but this is a rich plane with rich resources, and the Bussman family once ranked third among the richest plane lords in the Green Empire by virtue of the products of the Warsaw plane.

If it weren't for that, Duke Newman wouldn't have squatted on this plane with the Bednar Legion for eight years.

Although the current Warsaw plane has been completely rotten to the bone, it still has great potential for development.

The two Mithril mines in Ortans County alone made all the Great Lords of the Grimm Empire salivate.

Surdak listened to Duke Newman's gentle teachings as he swallowed the steak on his plate.

Although it was almost raw meat, it tasted like eating tuna with a belly dipped in wasabi soy sauce, and for the first time he felt as if his stomach could send a message that would make him have a stronger appetite.

He hadn't always liked to eat raw things, but now he wanted to eat a few more pieces.

Surdak didn't believe what Duke Newman had just said, at least he hadn't eaten these high-end ingredients at the Marquis Luther's house.

And the Marquis of Luther has no independent plane, though.

But on several planes, he has large territories.

The Marquis of Luthor had enough of a large army, so it was impossible without a certain amount of assets.

It's just that Hathaway, as the first heir in line, usually doesn't pay much attention to these, and Surdak only knows some information one-sidedly.

"I heard you're a paladin?"

Surdak nodded, sat up straight and wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth.

All he wanted now was to drink a glass of mulled wine and get a good night's sleep.

"Yes, then these Warcraft ingredients are much more optional." Duke Newman said with satisfaction.

Surdak didn't understand why Duke Newman said this.

He glanced hesitantly at Duke Newman.

Duke Newman explained to him: "The Warsaw plane has been invaded by evil ghosts for many years, and some demonic beasts are contaminated with black demonic energy, long-term consumption of this kind of demonic beast flesh and blood, the body will deposit some demonic energy, which will cause irreversible damage to the body, this kind of black demonic qi can be purified with the power of holy light, so for you, this kind of demonic beast meat is no problem." ”

Surdak hunted many magical beasts, and most of the ingredients he obtained were moved to the free market and sold.

To be honest, although he eats it himself, he doesn't eat it often.

Listening to Duke Newman's words, it is obvious that there will always be some Warcraft ingredients on the dining table at home in the future.

Duke Newman's summons seemed to be for a big meal with Surdak, and the Duke did not ask for any information about the army and the station, and Surdak did not mention the supply of materials from the logistics department of the military department.

……

This was followed by a pre-war meeting at the command post.

This meeting Edmond. Commander Arnold was not present, and his Eastern Route Army was to be garrisoned through the county of Handanar to the western border.

Surdak was just working on the battle plan in front of the map with a group of Bena Army commanders.

In fact, the task assigned to Surdak by the military headquarters was very simple, and the task of the Western Route Army was to garrison the camp in the mountain forest farm in the northern part of Handanar County.

Probably worried that he was new to the Warsaw plane, and he was still very unfamiliar with the demon legion in the Warsaw plane, and he was only stationed along the forest camp and did not need to attack Moyunling.

This time, the Bednar Legion launched a major counterattack along the Moss River, and the Constructed Swordsmen and Heavy Cavalry Regiment of the Bernard Legion almost assembled towards the Moss River, and the other lords' armies that entered the Warsaw plane with the Duke of Newman also needed to drink soup in this battle, and each of them also had some battle plans.

Surdak just had to sit down and listen quietly, no matter how much the commanders and lords argued, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

All he had to do was stop the demon legion in the northern mountains of Handanar County north of the woodland camp, and try to prevent the demon legion from entering the large meadow behind Handanar County.

Surdak sat in the corner of the operations command room, where the chairs were more comfortable, and arranged around a long square table, on which was a huge map stitched together from cowhide, Surdak held a water glass, and listened quietly all day.

As for the other officers who were talking fiercely, there were only seven operational plans for the Moss counteroffensive, and each of them seemed to have been heavily demonstrated, and the officers in the command post were foaming at the mouth.

Surdak was one of the observers, and many of the officers who were on the table were the commanders of the main regiments in the lord's army.

When Surdak first arrived, Duke Newman didn't introduce him too much, none of these corps commanders knew him, and seeing that Surdak was not too old, burly, and wearing a set of heavy armor with demonic patterns, they all thought that he might have a Constructed Knights in his hands.

One of the swordsmen sitting next to Surdak was listening to the commanders' discussion with a white parchment book in his hand, but when he got to the back, he sat in his chair and became sleepy, and before he knew it, he snored and fell to the ground.

Duke Newman, who was standing in front of the map, was discussing how to cross the river when the commanders suddenly heard a snoring, and everyone's eyes fell on the officer in the corner.

Surdak secretly stabbed the officer, waking him up from his slumber.

Duke Newman's face turned pale, and he just glanced to this side, and then continued to discuss the battle plan.

The commanders also hurriedly collected their minds and followed Duke Newman's train of thought to continue the discussion.

The officer, soking up from his confusion and realizing that he had made a mistake in front of a group of commanders, immediately blushed, picked up the quill from the ground, which he had not used much, looked at Surdak beside him with an embarrassed expression, and barely squeezed out a smile at him.

"Thank you!"

The officer bowed his voice and thanked Surdak, the accent was not Tarapa Dang, and it was clearly not a Bednar.

Surdak didn't speak, just smiled at him.

He had in his hand a map of a large meadow with only a few rivers and then the northern mountains.

The officer's sleepiness disappeared and he wanted to talk to someone.

Seeing Surdak sitting beside him holding the map, he craned his neck to look at it, and found that the map was almost as clean as a blank piece of paper, and only some mountains were drawn on the edges, and asked with some surprise:

"What's so nice about this map?"

Surdak didn't speak.

The officer, however, was interested, and said to Surdak in a low voice:

"This great meadow is the buffer zone between the northern border and Handanar County, if it weren't for the fact that there are a few rivers in between, not even a buffer zone, once the demon army rushes out of Moyun Ridge, it will be able to stand under the walls of Handanar County within ten days!"

"Then where do you think you should deploy your army if you want to stop the demon legion in Moyun Ridge from entering this meadow?" Surdak asked curiously.

"If you really want me to tell the truth...... Nothing! The officer shrugged his shoulders and said.

"The Demon Legion is not like our cavalry to take a flat road, they really want to enter the Great Meadow, they don't have to go through the forest camp at all, it is not difficult for them to climb over the mountains, the main reason why they did not rush directly from Moyun Ridge to the Great Meadow is that they are worried that the garrison of the forest camp and the army on the side of Handanar City will envelop them......"

When the officer had finished speaking, he licked the tip of the quill in his hand, and with his hand he drew an arrow on the parchment map in Surdak's hand......
