Lord Highlander

  Chapter 1340 1327. The concept of war

  When the Lord Suldak’s army entered the Bailin plane last year, Suldak only had two hundred and forty constructed knights in Dodan Town.

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

Of the two Constructed Knights, one of them will stay in the Bailin plane and continue to station in Dodan Town. The first Knights will be led by Andrew, and the other Constructed Knights will return with Suldak On the Ganbu plane, this time Carrie Decker and Samira returned to Ruyt City with Suldak, so the second knight order will be led by Carrie Decker.

The huge profits won by the war of planes gave Suldak the capital to expand his army. The dark worm valley it occupies will continue to send ghost-striped red ants out every month. These red ants will become part of Suldak's army. a stable income.

One hundred thousand Lord Army soldiers marched through the portal of Wilkes City, passed through the back garden of Duke Newman's mansion, and left the city directly from the north gate of Bena City, and had to rest in the temporary barracks outside the city for three days , Suldak does not need to pay the toll when entering the Bailin plane, but he needs to pay a high toll to the Bena province during the return process.

Although Suldak has now become the largest lord of the Bailin plane, the Bailin plane is actually owned by the Newman family. It's just that the Newman family has no energy to develop this plane in recent years, which is why the Bailin plane There are many aristocratic lords in the world, but there are no real leaders.

This is very different from the Ganbu plane. At present, most of the territory of the Ganbu plane belongs to Suldak, so he is also the manager of this plane. The maintenance cost of the portal and a series of benefits are also all owned by Suldak.

For more than a year before, this portal has brought almost no income to Suldak. Almost all the taxes collected by those business groups through the portal are thrown into the daily maintenance of the portal and the consumption of magic crystals. The hole, without Suldak putting money into it, has already made Suldak very content.

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

In order to ensure that the lord's army can leave the city of Bena smoothly, the whole road from the Duke of Newman's mansion to the north gate of the city was put under martial law by the knights of the guard battalion of the city of Bena. The returning lord army, this lord army won a big victory in the Bailin plane, although they know very limited information, it does not prevent them from flocking to the streets to cheer for this triumphant lord army.

  The province of Bena lacks such victories, especially Duke Newman and the Legion of Bena are still trapped in the Warsaw plane, unable to break free from that quagmire.

  The people in the province of Bena have reached the peak of their weariness with war.

  In fact, the prestige of Duke Newman has continued to decline during this period of time. For the Duke, the people of Bena have already given mixed reviews.

  Suldak was the last to leave Duke Newman's mansion. He checked the number of soldiers passing through the portal with each captain of the lord army to ensure that none of these lord army soldiers returned to Bena City.

   After these matters are dealt with, Carrie Decker and Samira will return to the temporary military camp outside Bena City, and Suldak will go to the residence of Marquis Luther.

  …

  At present, the 100,000 lord army of Suldak can be regarded as a force not to be underestimated in the province of Bena.

Regarding the rapid rise of Suldak, many veteran nobles in the province of Bena could not even react. The speed of the army expansion is too fast, and this is a coalition of lords, including the Collins family and the Owen family in the coalition. The big lords of the province of Bena, such as the Langdon family, occupy a city.

   If you want to suppress this lord army, you must definitely consider whether the other big lords will make corresponding counterattacks.

  The name 'Lord of Suldak' is also spread from the mouths of these family members. After all, no one will hide the news of victory. This time, the battle to open up the territory of the Bailin plane is so smooth, there is no reason not to publicize it.

   In the end, some nobles from the city of Bena came to Marquis Luther to inquire about Suldak's situation.

  When they heard that Suldak’s aristocratic status was that Marquis Luther sent a joint letter of recommendation to His Majesty Charles, and thus received special approval as a nobleman, they couldn’t help praising Marquis Luther for his accuracy in seeing people.

Suldak rode a horse to the Marquis Luther's mansion alone, and found that the spacious front courtyard was actually full of all kinds of gorgeous magic caravans. Butler Kenneth stood at the door, as if waiting for it. Surdak.

   When he saw Suldak riding over alone, he immediately rushed to meet him.

   "Earl Suldak, the Marquis is waiting for you in the living room. Today, many nobles came to the Marquis's mansion. They..."

Butler Kenneth had a very good memory, and he almost introduced the nobles who were waiting for Suldak in the living room in detail, and also clearly explained their appearance and characteristics. The butler of Nice walked into the hall of the Marquis's Mansion, and Suldak first saluted Marquis Luther, and then politely greeted the nobles in the hall very naturally.

What surprised everyone was that they had only seen Suldak once or twice, and some people had never even seen Suldak, but Suldak was still able to accurately name them, which made these nobles feel their hearts. Great respect.

   These people are almost thinking the same thing in their hearts:

  'Look, Lord Suldak still remembers me...'

  'Look, Lord Suldak actually knows me...'

  In fact, among the noble lords in the hall, if not for the temporary reminder from the butler Kenneth, not many of Suldak would be able to call out their names.

   When the first sentence is spoken, it makes people feel very happy, and the next chat will become very pleasant.

Many nobles have a very good first impression of Suldak, at least he is not the kind of young noble general who is arrogant, withdrawn, eccentric, only good at fighting, but not good at communication, and he has a very clear image of the Luther family. Standing beside Marquis Luther, with a very humble look and a faint smile on his face, he immediately won the approval of many lords.

"Luther, you see, we really admire people's skills. You know that I have nineteen daughters in total, and seventeen of them are married now, and all their husbands and sons-in-law combined can't compare with yours." This son-in-law." A gray-haired old noble standing beside Marquis Luther said with a smile.

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

   "I have such an idea..."

   The relationship between the two seems to be very familiar, and they speak very casually.

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

"Well, the army may have to take a rest for a while, and this time I provoked the northern rocs, and for a long time to come, I will focus on defending the northern rocs." Suldak stood on the side of Marquis Luther. Beside him, he patiently dealt with the nobles who crowded close and asked him about his recent battle plan.

   Those nobles were obviously not satisfied with Suldak's answer.

   "You suddenly led your army back to Gambo this time, are you ready for the next battle goal?" the nobles asked.

  Suldak pondered for a moment before saying:

   "Actually... no, this time I led the army back to Ganbu just to further stabilize the situation on the Ganbu plane. In addition, I returned to Ruyt City this time to rest for a while."

   They chatted until very late, and the nobles failed to hear any useful information from Suldak.

  In fact, the reason why Suldak returned to Ruyt City ahead of schedule this time was really to be able to accompany Hathaway to wait for delivery.

This kind of practice is simply unimaginable in the eyes of the nobles of Bena, and even Marquis Luther felt that Suldak was a little too fond of Hathaway. Almost every noble lord in the province of Bena has several Wives, if they are like Suldak, every wife has to come back to accompany each wife when she is about to give birth, then most of the noble lords will either accompany their wives when they are about to give birth, or go home to accompany their wives when they are about to give birth...

Marquis Luther also implied that Suldak did not have to do this, but this did not shake Suldak's determination to return to Ruyt City. After all, this child was his true meaning after coming to this world. blood.

  Dang Suldak didn't think so. No matter what, he hoped that he could be present when the child was born.

  In fact, the Marquis Luther is also looking forward to this child very much. Regardless of whether Hathaway has a boy or a girl, this child is the future successor of the Luther family in the true sense.

  Suldak was always by Marquis Luther's side, and together they sent these noble lords out of the Marquis' mansion.

  It wasn't until the last nobleman left in the magic caravan that Marquis Luther let out a sigh of relief and gave Suldak a very appreciative look.

   Returning to the Marquis Mansion, the servants in the mansion have already started to clean up the messy hall under the leadership of the housekeeper.

   "If you're not sleepy, accompany me upstairs for a while!"

  Marquis Luther said to Suldak.

  …

   "I thought you would follow up and deal with the flock of birds in the north..."

  Marquis Luther sat on the sofa on the balcony on the second floor, and the maid brought a plate of fragrant black tea, he said to Suldak.

Suldak sat opposite Marquis Luther, shook his head and said, "For the time being, we don't have the conditions to deal with the rocs. The sky-shooting crossbows we purchased last week just arrived in Wilkes. It will take at least three months to fully resettle."

"In addition, I also ordered five magic airships, and the delivery period will be one year later. I think at least until these five magic airships arrive at the Bailin plane, we will have some footholds in the sky, and we will be able to fight in air battles." Show some power!"

   "Otherwise, it's just advancing from the ground, and it's not a big threat to those roc birds in the north!"

  Suldak held hot tea and glanced at the brightly lit Bena City in the distance...

Marquis Luther said at this time: "I was worried that you would be dazed by these two victories and want to rush to the north, but I didn't expect you to be more rational than me. Your analysis is absolutely right. The habitat of the birds is not something us cavalry and infantry can go up to. Their nests are 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 great swordsman who stepped into the legend with half a foot to explore the lair of the northern roc. Signed a non-aggression agreement."

   "Now that great swordsman has already stepped into the legendary holy sword of four turns, and entered the outer domain to travel among the stars decades ago. No one in Bena Province currently knows the exact location of the Eagle's Nest."

Suldak didn't speak for a long time, and after being silent for a while, he said: "I plan to build a line of defense on the Thorn Mountain to defend against those birds. I will build more than a dozen anti-air defense fortresses on the top of the Thorn Mountain. The mountain road at the top of the mountain."

   "The Thorn Mountain Range is so long, a few defensive fortresses can't stop the flock of birds..."

  Marquis Luther shook his head and rejected Suldak's proposal.

  At this time, Mrs. Marian walked into the terrace through the arch and asked Marquis Luther, "Shall I prepare something for you to eat?"

"No, just sit here with Duck for a while!" Marquis Luther patted Madam Marianne's hand, and then said, "He was worried about Hathaway, so he hastily ended Bai Lin's plane." War, rushing back to Ruyt City, I don't even know what to say about him!"

   "If you can stay in the Bailin plane for two more months, there is still a large area of ​​land around the Sanhe Plain waiting for you to enter the territory..."

  The latter sentence, Marquis Luther said to Suldak.

Suldak smiled and replied: "I have given up the entire Three Rivers Plain to other lords. What's the use of fighting for those corners of the land? The land on the Bailin plane is so big. If you want to expand the territory, Whether it's Invercargill Forest to the west, or the Plain of Three Rivers to the south, it's easy!"

  Seeing that Suldak was full of confidence, Marquis Luther asked, "Then do you plan to go west or south next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I launched the plane war this time, in fact, just to raise a start-up fund for the sky garden of Ruyt City and the Tarapakan Highway, so the next step should be to build Ruyt City and Mukuso City, strive to transform the Ganbu plane into a plane suitable for tourism!" Suldak smiled, and once again expressed his original intention to Marquis Luther.

  Although I have said it many times, Marquis Luther listened most seriously this time.

   "So you came back to Ruyt City this time to settle down and start construction?" Marquis Luther asked.

  Suldak nodded, and then added: "Of course, the construction of the Invercargill Forest and the Dark Worm Valley on the White Forest Plane will not be left behind..."

  Marquis Luther looked at Suldak speechlessly, and suddenly found himself speechless.
