The officers of the headquarters of the Bernard Legion are still sitting on the sand table with various war rehearsals, while Surdak's Western Route Army has long been scheduled to be stationed along the Gandaear Mountains to prevent the Demon Legion on Moyun Ridge from coming out to do things when the Bernard Legion recovers Kornberg.

For such a long time, the group of demon legions on Moyun Ridge had only launched a few attacks on Handanar County, but each time they were stuck at the node where the Bena Legion had a big move, which really caused a lot of trouble to the Bena Legion.

This time, Surdak was stationed in the forest farm camp, and the task he needed to be responsible for was relatively easy, and it can also be seen from here that Archduke Newman also had some ideas for Surdak, after all, Surdak can be regarded as the most outstanding one among the new generation of lords in Bena Province, and he has fought a few battles remarkably, and he is a second-turn paladin with outstanding strength.

A year ago, there were probably many noble lords in the province of Bena who did not know the name Surdak.

But now Surdak has become synonymous with the army of the Marquis of Luthor.

After meeting Gabby and Ulysses, this is also a matter on Surdak's heart.

In this case, Surdak felt that he didn't seem to have any reason to stay in Handanar City anymore, so he went to the logistics office of the military headquarters to urge the supply of the ghostly soldier ants, and then left Handanar City with the two-headed ogre Gulitham.

The two of them traveled all the way north, intending to cross the Great Meadow and return directly to the forest farm camp.

This large meadow in Handanale is a rare pastoral area, where hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are grazing, and it is because of this large herd that Handanale has barely had any problems with the supply of basic goods.

And so many cattle and sheep are also a great hidden danger in Surdak's heart, Surdak led the ant cavalry to almost slaughter the hunting group there in the Samosto River, and now the demon army on Moyun Ridge is like a hungry wolf, they are likely to set their eyes on the rich meadow in order to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, he didn't dare to bet on whether the demon legion on Moyunling would enter the big meadow in advance, once this demon legion broke into hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of grassland, the Western Route Army would probably be led by the evil ghost legion to run on the big meadow.

It is precisely because of this consideration that this time Surdak hurriedly ran back in advance to make combat deployments.

……

This trip to Handanar City can be regarded as a very boring trip for the two-headed ogre, Handanar City is congested, although the city's guard battalion knights are trying to maintain law and order, but the slums are still very chaotic.

The ogre barely had much to eat in Handanar City, and this time he left Handanaar City in a hurry, and Gullitham inevitably had a little grudge.

The scenery here is appreciated, but what about the delicious food?

Breathing in the crisp air of the grassland, standing on the mound and looking at the waist-high grass, Surdak felt that this should be a paradise for herders.

"Gulitham, tell me which of these magical beasts you have eaten has the best fresh meat?" Surdak asked as he pulled a piece of swamp crocodile's jerky out of his pocket and chewed it in his mouth.

The jerky is grilled and dried, and then beaten repeatedly with a mallet until the muscle fibers are completely broken up before being crushed into thin sheets.

This kind of food first appeared in the White Forest Plane, and the lord army of Surdak captured the Three Rivers Plain, and cleaned up a large number of second-level demonic beasts such as swamp giant crocodiles in the depths of the plain, because at that time, a lot of demonic beast fresh meat could not be transported back to Bena City in time to sell, so some military merchant groups bought these demonic beast fresh meat, and then used various processes to make jerky.

Among them, the jerky made by this process tastes the best, and the production process is not difficult, and it didn't take long for it to spread among the merchants.

The two-headed ogre stood up from the grass, looked at Surdak with some strange looks and said, "It's rare that you care about these ......"

"It's not too late to tell." Surdak smiled.

He thought of what Duke Newman said to him before, the promotion path of the second-turn powerhouse will become narrower and narrower, and the improvement of the physique brought by exercise will become insignificant, so how to improve the physique, you need to pay more attention to other aspects, such as eating some Warcraft meat that can improve the physique for a long time.

When it comes to food, the two-headed ogre suddenly becomes refreshed.

Gulit said: "Among the first-order demonic beasts, the demon antelope meat is a very good ingredient, among the second-level demonic beasts, the salamander and the two-headed snake lizard should be good, and the third-order demonic beasts have nothing to be picky about, they are relatively rare, and some are good to eat." ”

The good brother Brain Flower kept nodding his head in agreement.

But then the two-headed ogre said with a gloomy expression:

"Speaking of which, almost all the demonic beasts in the Gandaer Mountains have been killed by the demons, although our camp is at the foot of the mountain, the demonic beast resources here are far from catching up with the Bailin plane."

Walking north along the Great Meadow, Surdak recalled the scene when he was chased by the demon warriors and fought for his life on the grass, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the evening, the two camped on the west bank of a tributary of the Pasyeti River, and it was said that Surdak had set up a simple marching tent, and the two-headed ogre preferred to lie directly on the grass with his head resting on the earth and looking up at the stars to sleep.

Surdak is ready to wash up at the river, and then check to see if there are any fish in the river, preferably two grilled fish for dinner.

When it was getting late and the light had become extremely dim, I saw a large herd of cattle on the opposite bank, and when the herd of cattle and sheep came to the river, they could not wait to drink in the river, and the noisy sound and the smell of stinking cow dung came to their faces.

Cattle stretch for nearly a kilometre across the river, and herdsmen on Kubolai horses shout behind them.

Surdak looked at the other side of the river helplessly, and regretted why he chose this place when he set up the camp, he should have thought a long time ago, the night by the river must not be too quiet, and now looking at the cattle on the other bank who are slowly drinking water, he is really in no good mood.

Herdsmen on horseback with long whips in their hands, and as soon as they appeared, the herd moved out of the way.

They stood on the bank of the river and soon saw Surdak and Gulit on the other side of the river.

After hesitating for a moment, Surdak did not expect that those herdsmen were so bold that some of them would cross the river on horseback on a river that was submerged to a depth of their chests.

It was a herder of local Aboriginal ancestry, recognizable only by the color of his skin and forehead.

He was covered in cowhides, and he rolled over and dismounted early, and came to Surdak.

"Friend, why don't you come to our bonfire, we have wine, barbecue and enthusiastic Bopotans girls there!" The herdsman spoke fluent imperial Chinese.

Seeing Gullitm's expectant gaze, Surdak could only suppress the irritability in his heart, stood up and pointed to the two-headed ogre on the grass over there and said, "It's a great honor to be able to participate in your bonfire...... That's my friend, Gullitham and Brainflower! ”

Ever since the herdsman had crossed the river on horseback, Gulit and Brainflower had been paying attention to him, and now when they heard their warm invitation, they immediately came to their senses.

The herdsman was startled at first when he saw Gulitham's burly body in the twilight, but then said cheerfully, "Welcome, welcome!" ”

When Surdak crossed the river on horseback, he found that there were herdsmen driving cattle in the distance.

The herdsmen drove the cattle together and let them drink and graze by the river, and everyone gathered together to greet each other warmly and talk about each other's recent situation, recent sights, and new news.

Surdak found the bonfires more like a means of exchanging information in a large meadow.

A large bonfire had been set up in the meadow not far away, and a whole cow was set up on an iron rack, and four herdsmen were standing on the side and were spinning the barbecue grill vigorously, and the cow was already dripping grease downward, and the herdsman took Surdak and Gulitham to the campfire, and went to greet the others warmly.

Everyone gathered in front of the campfire and waited for the night to fall.

A few bold herdsmen approached Surdak, looked at his attire and asked curiously, "Are you an adventurer or a mercenary?" ”

There were already herdsman girls in leather skirts, holding earthenware wine jars, and began to pour wine for the people sitting on the grass, their heads braided in fine braids, their bodies were well-proportioned, and they could feel the lightness of their steps as they walked.

"Neither, I'm in a lord's army." Surdak glanced at the war horse behind him and answered truthfully.

Surdak could feel that the herdsmen were visibly relieved.

"And this big guy is your subordinate?" Then someone asked tentatively.

Surdak replied cheerfully, "They are my friends." ”

At this time, there was already a very discerning herdsman who brought a half-baked beef leg to Gulitham, obviously the ogre brothers did not care how cooked the beef leg was, they first tasted it, and then unceremoniously began to eat and drink, and their faces were also swept away from the depression of the day.

Surdak patted his forehead, not expecting that Gulitham's bad mood could be reversed with just a meal of roast beef.

An old herdsman with wrinkles on his forehead approached Surdak and said to him: "We are herders on this meadow, and we live by grazing, and every month we have such a large gathering, mainly to exchange some information with each other, after all, it is difficult to meet a few people in this big meadow, and it is even more difficult to get information from the outside. ”

Then he handed Surdak a glass of slightly sour fruit wine, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

Surdak hurriedly replied, "Handanar City." ”

He took only one sip of fruit wine and then secretly put his glass down.

"Can you tell us about the news over there?" The old herdsman looked at Surdak expectantly.

There were even a few herdsman girls dressed in costumes.

Surdak didn't know where to start, so he asked, "What do you want to hear?" ”

The old herdsman laughed, and he felt that although Surdak was wearing a gorgeous armor, he was very good at talking.

The old herdsman said to Surdak, "It's a long night, you can sit down and drink some fruit wine, and say whatever you want, except lies, of course!" ”

Surdak didn't postpone either, and said, "Okay then! Let's start with the growing number of refugees in the city of Handanar......"

Surdak sat down and talked about the recent events in the city of Handanar, especially the large number of refugees gathered outside the city, which caused the price of goods in the city to rise, and now the whole city of Handanar is almost overcrowded.

"This news is really useful, it looks like tomorrow we have to take out some of the stored cheese, and the dried meat or something, and drive some cattle to the city to see how much we can sell!" The old herdsman commanded the young man beside him with an excited face.

The young herdsman replied honestly: "I know ......"

The further you go to the north of the Great Meadow, the more abundant the aquatic plants here become, mainly because the north side of the Great Meadow is often infested with evil spirits, so the herders rarely drive their cattle to the north.

Slowly, the farther north it goes, the thicker the grass becomes.

In order to keep their cattle watered every morning and evening, these herders almost always migrate along rivers.

It didn't take long for herdsmen to bring in the cooked beef, which was roasted with a thin layer of puff pastry, and it tasted very fragrant.

Roast beef, fruit wine, that's what the herders treat to Surdak.

Then there were the herdsmen girls who danced constantly, and they pushed the bonfire party to a new peak.

There are even herdsman girls who come to Surdak to show their unique enthusiasm, but Surdak doesn't want to drill tents with these hot herdsman girls, these girls who have been herding all their lives probably need Surdak to be a cheap father......

After drinking some fruit wine, Surdak felt a little groggy, but there was no problem crossing the river on horseback.

At the end of the bonfire dance, the herders did not hold back too much when they saw that Surdak insisted on leaving and returning to the other side of the river.

Gulit changed his decadent mood and crossed the river with Surdak, saying excitedly:

"Dak, I didn't expect this to be a spontaneous gathering of the herdsmen, it was very lively, and the roast cow was also very delicious......"

"I didn't expect there to be so many herders in the big meadow, this meadow is too big, and there are herds of cattle and sheep...... So you can't say anything about putting those demons in! Surdak squatted by the river, holding up the clear water and washing his face.

When he walked to the tent, he saw Aphrodite sitting quietly leaning against the tent, holding her knees.

Her eyes were like shining stars in the night sky, silently looking at the night sky.

Surdak walked over and sat down beside Aphrodite.

"It's a good place ......"
