Chapter 1411 1398. Combat Conference
The furniture in the restaurant is in a rough and satisfying style. The wooden table looks extraordinarily thick, and the long stool is also a log split from the middle. The side that was flattened by a planer faces upwards, and a few stool legs are crudely nailed underneath. Just put it on both sides of the table.
The walls made of wooden boards can also be seen around the room. Surdak looked at the creamy soup in the plate, wiped his hands, and then broke a piece of white bread, dipped it in the soup and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste is much worse than expected, the soup is cold, and in addition to the milky taste, there is also a cold, fishy and very greasy taste, that kind of feeling is like dipping some meat oil on the bread and eating it mouth.
If Suldak hadn't seen that Duke Newman had just finished eating the soup on the plate, and finally wiped the bottom of the plate with bread, Suldak even thought that this soup might be specially cooked for him .
But obviously Duke Newman did not need to do this.
Thinking of this, Suldak stared at the milky white liquid on the plate, thinking about what was added in it to make this soup so unpalatable.
Duke Newman's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. He saw that Suldak didn't take a second bite with the bread dipped in the soup, but looked at the plate hesitantly, so he really believed what the Marquis Luther said in the letter. introduce.
The young man in front of him really came from a commoner family. Although he has now become the great lord of the Ganbu plane, he has not 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 boiled with the bone marrow of Maylong mixed with milk.
Regular consumption of maylong bone marrow can improve the body's mana affinity. This thing can be said to be a good product on the table of the upper-class nobles, and only a big man like the Duke of Newman can bring such a precious ingredient to the table.
Suldak finished the cream soup on the plate meticulously, and stuffed the last bit of white bread into his mouth.
The food in his stomach had released a trace of mana, and his stomach gave the most correct feedback at this 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 would happen a long time ago, and his eyes fell behind Suldak.
A cook immediately brought a plate with five steaks inside. These steaks were cut very delicately, and there was even some sauce with pepper powder on them, but there was some problem with the doneness of these steaks. Suldak thought they might have been put in the frying pan for less than three seconds before being taken out.
The five steaks were only lightly fried, and the color of the skin was only slightly changed.
These steaks looked more like pieces of raw meat, but these steaks were indeed very fresh, and Suldak even felt that the muscle fibers of the steaks were still shaking...
Suldak only forked two yuan, then put down the fork.
He found that the food on the table was very ordinary, and he didn't expect that Duke Newman's daily life would be so close to the people.
Duke Newman saw that Suldak had only forked two slices of fried meat, so he signaled the cook with his eyes to fork two more pieces for Suldak, and finally simply put the last piece on Suldak's dinner plate .
"The cold soup just now had some maylong bone marrow mixed in, so the taste may be a little weird, but as long as you get used to drinking it, you will find that it is greasy and mellow inside."
Duke Newman handed the napkin to the maid on the side, and then said to Suldak.
Suldak hadn't even heard of this ingredient, but he knew that as long as the word 'dragon' was stuck in the food, it couldn't be cheap.
He looked down at the steaks on the plate with some understanding, not knowing what to say about the raw meat.
Duke Newman's deep and gentle voice came over again: "This is the neck meat of the Diplodocus from the Dendrobium plane. After hunting, in order to keep the food fresh, it was sent here non-stop."
Suldak opened his mouth wide and picked up a piece of steak with a fork. It was impossible to tell that it was a piece of ground dragon meat.
The attendant brought a cup of tea to Duke Newman, and Duke Newman looked at Suldak gently:
"Young people should eat more if they have a good appetite. After the second turn, relying on hard exercise can no longer satisfy the accumulation of physical strength. Some people choose to stimulate the inner potential in the body, and some choose to use external forces to increase strength, such as reaching some in the elemental world. contract."
"Sibu is a relatively mild way to increase strength. The only disadvantage of this method is that the progress is slow. It takes a long time to eat to feel the strength improvement."
"Although the resources of the Ganbu plane are scarce, at least one dimension lord, I know that you are running the Ganbu plane well now. As long as you can stabilize the situation in Mukuso, it is not easy to have these things in front of you." Disaster."
While Suldak was eating steak, Duke Newman began to pour chicken soup into Suldak.
After all, the young knight in front of him is the commander of the West Route Army, and his direct troops account for half of the West Route Army.
If we talk about who has the most dazzling record in the province of Bena in the past two years, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Marquis Edmund Arnold, will indeed rank first. He has won numerous battles and has always surpassed Marquis Luther in terms of military exploits.
However, Marquis Luther and the young man chosen by him...
Duke Newman knew that it was the young officer in front of him, who also had outstanding military exploits.
Twice against the Demon Legion, although it was only the Hellhound Legion, they were able to complete a headwind in an isolated and helpless situation. This is probably very difficult for Marquis Edmund Arnold to do.
Benar province needs such an excellent plane lord.
This time, Duke Newman summoned Marquis Edmund Arnold and Suldak to the Warsaw plane, mainly because he wanted to take the opportunity to investigate, and also wanted to reverse the difficult situation of the Warsaw plane, although the Warsaw plane is now rotten. It's in the bones, but this is a rich plane with rich resources. The Busman family once ranked third among the richest plane lords in the Green Empire by relying on the properties of the Warsaw plane.
Had it not been for this, Duke Newman would not have been squatting on this plane for eight years with the Benar Legion.
Although the current Warsaw plane has been completely rotten to the bone, it still has great potential for development.
Just talking about the two mithril mines in Ortans County makes all the great lords of the Grimm Empire salivate.
Suldak was listening to the persuasive teachings of Duke Newman while swallowing the steak on the plate.
Although it was almost raw meat, the delicious taste was like eating tuna belly dipped in wasabi soy sauce, and for the first time, he felt that his stomach seemed to be able to send messages, making him have a stronger appetite.
He has never liked eating raw food very much, but now he can't wait to eat a few more pieces.
Suldak didn't believe what Duke Newman just said, at least he didn't eat these high-grade ingredients at the Marquis Luther's house.
Although Marquis Luther does not have any independent planes.
Marquis Luther has a large army, so it is impossible without certain assets.
Hathaway, as the number one heir, usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, and Suldak only knows some information one-sidedly.
"I heard that you are a paladin?"
Suldak nodded, sat up straight and wiped off the grease from the corners of his mouth.
Now he is satisfied and just wants to drink a glass of rum, and then sleep comfortably.
"Yes, then the choice of these monster ingredients is much larger." Duke Newman said with satisfaction.
Suldak didn't understand why Duke Newman said that.
He glanced at Duke Newman hesitantly.
Duke Newman explained to him: "The Warsaw plane has been occupied by evil spirits for many years. Some monsters are contaminated with black magic energy. If you eat the flesh and blood of such monsters for a long time, your body will accumulate some magic energy, which will cause irreversible damage to your body. This kind of black magic energy can be purified with the power of holy light, so for you, this kind of monster meat is harmless."
Suldak has hunted many monsters, and most of the ingredients he obtained have been sold in the free market.
To be honest, although he himself eats it, he doesn’t eat it often.
According to Duke Newman's words, it is obvious that there will always be some monster ingredients on the dining table at home in the future.
Duke Newman's summoning this time seemed to be to have a big meal with Suldak. His Excellency the Duke did not ask any news about the army and the garrison, and Suldak did not mention the supplies of the military logistics department.
…
Then came the pre-battle meeting in the command post.
Commander Edmund Arnold was not present at this meeting. The Eastern Route Army led by him needs to pass through Handanal County and arrive at the western border for garrison.
Suldak was just studying the battle plan in front of the map with a group of Bena army commanders.
In fact, the task assigned by the military department to Suldak is very simple. The task of the West Route Army is to garrison the forest camp in the northern mountains of Handanal County.
Probably because he was worried that he had just arrived, and he was still very unfamiliar with the evil ghost army on the Warsaw plane. He was only stationed along the forest camp and did not need to attack Moyunling.
This time, the Bena Legion launched a massive counterattack along the Moss River. The Constructed Swordsmen and Heavy Cavalry regiments in the Bena Legion almost gathered towards the Moss River. They also need to drink soup in this battle, and each has some battle plans.
Suldak just needs to sit down and listen quietly. Anyway, no matter how those commanders and lords argue, it seems that he has nothing to do with it.
He only needs to stop the evil spirit army in the northern mountains of Handanal County to the north of the forest camp, and try to prevent the evil spirit army from entering the large meadow behind Handanal County.
Suldak sat in the corner of the combat command room, and the seats here were more comfortable. They were arranged around a long square table. On the table was a huge map made of cowhide. Suldak was holding a The water glass, I have been quietly listening all day long.
As for other officers who are having heated discussions, there are only seven operational plans for the Moss River counteroffensive, and each plan seems to have undergone a lot of demonstrations, and the officers in the command post are spitting.
Suldak was one of the observers, and many of the officers who observed were the heads of the main corps in the Lord's Army.
Suldak just arrived, and Duke Newman didn't give too much introduction. The commanders of these regiments didn't know him. They saw that Suldak was not too old, he was tall and tall, and he was wearing a set of magic patterns. Heavy armor, everyone thought he might have a Constructed Knights in his hand.
A construction swordsman officer sitting next to Suldak was holding a white sheepskin booklet in his hand, and was still listening to the commanders' discussion at first, but when he got to the back, he sat on the chair feeling drowsy, unknowingly Suddenly there was a snoring sound, and all the quills in his hand fell to the ground.
Duke Newman, who was standing in front of the map, was discussing the way to cross the river. The commanders suddenly heard a snoring sound, and everyone's eyes fell on the officer in the corner.
Suldak stabbed the officer secretly and woke him up from his sound sleep.
Duke Newman's face turned livid, and he just glanced in this direction before continuing to discuss the battle plan.
The commanders quickly calmed down and continued the discussion following Duke Newman's train of thought.
The officer woke up from his confusion and realized that he had made an embarrassment in front of a group of commanders. He blushed immediately. He picked up the little quill pen from the ground and looked at Su beside him with embarrassment. Erdak forced a smile on his face.
"Thank you!"
The officer lowered his voice and thanked Surdak. His accent was not from the Tarapagan area, and it was obviously not from Bena.
Suldak didn't speak, just smiled at him.
He was holding a map of the large meadow in his hand. There were only a few rivers on this map, and then there were the northern mountains.
The officer's sleepiness disappeared, so he wanted to find someone to chat with.
Seeing Surdak sitting next to him and holding the map in his hands, he stretched his neck and looked over it. He found that the map was almost as clean as white paper. Only some mountains were drawn on the edge area. He asked in surprise:
"What's so cool about this map?"
Suldak didn't speak.
The officer got excited, lowered his voice and said to Suldak:
"This large meadow is the buffer zone between the northern border and Handanal County. If there were not a few rivers between them, it wouldn't even be a buffer zone. Once the evil ghost army rushed out of Moyunling , within ten days you can stand under the city walls of Handanal County!"
"Then do you think if you want to stop the evil spirit army in Moyunling from entering this meadow, where should you deploy the army?" Suldak asked curiously.
"If I have to be honest...nowhere!" said the officer, shrugging his shoulders.
"The evil ghost army is not like us cavalry who want to take a flat road. They really want to enter the big meadow without going through the forest camp. It is not difficult for them to climb over the mountains. The reason why they didn't rush directly from the Moyun Ridge The main reason for the big meadow is that the garrison in the forest camp and the army in Handanar City will surround them..."
After the officer finished speaking, he licked the tip of the quill pen in his hand, reached out and drew an arrow on the parchment map in Suldak's hand...
