Chapter 1574 1560. Night of Handanal City
Many aristocrats and socialites in the hall, who were holding wine glasses and communicating softly, suddenly noticed that the big shots sitting in the lounge area of the hall came out from there. Marquis Peggy Bivis accompanied a man wearing a standard military uniform Earl, talking while walking out of the hall filled with relaxing music.
Even the young nobles who stood on the edge of the dance floor admiring the graceful dance of the noble ladies were attracted by these big men.
Some young nobles and female companions moved towards a group of big men.
As the hostess of the party, Marquis Peggy Bivis stayed by Suldak's side almost the entire time. Although she was a lady over forty years old, she was well maintained both in figure and appearance. He is very good at creating topics, and always becomes a quiet listener when the atmosphere is heated.
Many people didn't know what happened, so they came over blindly.
In everyone's eyes, the commander of the West Route Army is covered with a magical halo.
The commander who was able to break into the Moyunling Highlands, at least before that, no one has been able to do so, and now seeing how young he is, it is said that the rich man in Handanal City, the Marquis of Worster Caesar, is famous General Valentin Heller, the leader of the Constructed Swordsmen, Marquis Simon Geoffrey, returned from the high ground.
It is said that at least 300 nobles went bankrupt because of him, and many pasture owners on the big meadow today have sold off due to bankruptcy.
Some people also said that Commander Suldak pitted at least 500,000 magic crystals from the noble lords of Handanal City on the Moyunling Highlands. The official dared to take half a step into the city of Handanar, so he stripped him of his armor, hung him on the flagpole at the South City Gate Square and exposed him to the sun for three days, and was flogging him.
Let him spit out all the property he swallowed...
But now that Commander Suldak has walked into the city of Handanar so blatantly, the nobles who once uttered those bold words disappeared because of this.
Even Marquis Valentin Heller, who had the strongest personality and never tolerated sand in his eyes, made any sound.
In Handanar City, there are nobles who are hostile to Commander Surdak all over the street, but there are also some people who are willing to make friends with such an outstanding imperial general.
After all, the Green Empire has a system that relies on military merit to maintain its title. Many nobles do not want to offend the Big Three in Handanar City, so they keep a certain distance from Commander Suldak, but those who are originally related to Handanar The three giants of the city have some grievances with noble lords, like Marquis Peggy Bivis, how could they miss the opportunity to make friends with Commander Suldak at this time?
In order to welcome Commander Suldak, Marquis Peggy Bivis even resorted to his wife's diplomacy.
This kind of practice is very common in the circle of the Green Empire, that is, a certain nobleman wants to make friends with another nobleman, but there is no intersection in all aspects of the hobbies, temperament, temperament and life circle, so they must have some common topics. ah.
At this time, lady diplomacy will show some effect, but Commander Suldak's wife Hathaway Luthor is from the famous Luthor family, and she is not currently in the city of Handanal. This lady diplomacy is something else...
The Marquise Peggy Beavis is still very attractive.
It's just that Suldak is very unfamiliar with the aristocratic circle, and his personal taste is quite unique.
In addition to the three wives Hathaway Luthor, Beatrice Goeffeller, and Natasha, Selena, who is the apostle of the goddess of darkness, and Aphrodite, who is the succubus, The half-elf Samira and the three lovers...
People like him are rare among noble lords.
Everyone is guessing about such a famous general... There is no group of lovers around him, so how did the various forces establish contact with Commander Suldak?
At least half of the nobles and ladies who came to the Marquis Peggy Bivis mansion to participate in the ball tonight came with anticipation.
Many celebrities have the expectation that maybe they just happen to meet the taste of Commander Suldak.
Then this night will definitely become very memorable...
What made them extremely resentful was that Marquise Peggy Bivis stayed with Commander Suldak for half the night, without giving any chance for other nobles and ladies to intervene.
It was half the night, and everyone just saw Commander Suldak sitting in the rest area, chatting with the Marquis and Mrs. Peggy Bivis, and several great lords in Handanal City.
Women with a thick layer of pearl powder on their snow-white **** can only shake their plumpness on the dance floor to attract the eyes of some young nobles on the edge of the dance floor.
Now it was hard to see Suldak walking out of the rest area accompanied by a group of big shots.
Many people immediately surrounded the hall.
Marquis Peggy Bivis said to his wife beside him as he walked, "Elena, you said that the place in the garden is more open?"
"I think the lawn in the northwest corner of the courtyard is fine. I originally planned to build a greenhouse on that lawn in a while." Marquis Peggy Bivis immediately replied softly.
At this time, everyone had already walked out of the hall and came to the steps outside the house.
Although it was night, the Beavis mansion was brightly lit, and even the garden behind was fully illuminated.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the slender fingers of Mrs. Peggy Bivis. Sure enough, there was a large lawn in the northwest corner. The grass there was very neatly trimmed, and there was even a bush wall around the edge of the lawn. .
A group of people walked over, and some nobles who watched the excitement surrounded the lawn.
"Commander Suldak, do you think that lawn can be used as a test site for the power of your gunpowder barrel?" the head of the city security group asked impatiently.
He has heard of the powder keg held by Commander Suldak.
Now that he has the opportunity to see the power of the powder keg with his own eyes, he shows great interest.
"Can!"
Suldak didn't hide anything either. He went straight to the center of the lawn, took out a powder keg from his magic pocket, placed it in the most conspicuous place, connected a bunch of fuzes, and pulled it to the outside of the lawn edge.
Other aristocratic lords stood around the lawn, thinking that there would be a grand fireworks show, and many ladies showed great expectations.
However, Marquis Peggy Bivis was worried that the explosion would hurt the nobles who were watching, so he called in a group of warriors wearing heavy armor and holding tower shields, and asked them to form a human wall around the lawn.
Seeing Marquis Peggy Bivis' serious expression, Suldak smiled and said, "Don't worry, this kind of powder keg doesn't have that much power."
After speaking, he saw expectant eyes all around him, so he took a torch from a guard and lit the fuse on the edge.
'boom! '
The entire oak barrel burst suddenly, and the loud noise made people's eardrums suffer a violent impact.
The crowd of onlookers only saw that the gunpowder barrel shattered in an instant, the flames and thick smoke, countless broken wood residues, soil, and turf flew into the night sky.
Some scattered dirt even splashed onto the guarding soldiers. Fortunately, these guarding soldiers were in front of them, otherwise the fine dirt would probably splash onto everyone's evening dresses.
The thick smoke dissipated, and an earth pit with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the grass, and the surrounding grass was also affected to varying degrees.
Although the effect is not bad, the power of such a large gunpowder barrel is only slightly greater than that of fire phosphorus bombs.
Many nobles have never seen this before. For a while, many people stood there in shock, wondering what Commander Suldak's intention was to detonate the powder keg.
Marquis Peggy Bivis and several great lords around him were a little disappointed. Many people were thinking:
‘Such a powerful gunpowder barrel can really defeat those evil spirits on Moyunling? '
"Do you think that this kind of powder keg can't kill those evil spirits at all? In fact, this is just the power of a powder keg after it explodes. I have enough powder kegs in my hand, and there is also a group of mages for airdrops. The effect of bombing the dense formation of evil spirits is actually very good." Suldak explained to everyone.
oh…
The only people who really understood what Suldak said were the few great lords around him, but the feedback Suldak got was the response of a group of nobles around him.
Whether it was unmarried noble ladies or married ladies, whether it was young nobles or some lords with some status, they all responded.
Throughout the night, Suldak only did one thing, and that was to show the noble lords in Handanal the power of the powder keg.
He didn't sell this thing to everyone, because he knew clearly that those who wanted to buy it would post it without him saying it, and those who didn't want to buy it would not pay for it no matter what he said.
After a party, it is more tiring than fighting a bad battle with evil spirits.
Before leaving, Suldak also received various hints from more than twenty noble ladies and ladies, some were straightforward invitations, and some were euphemistic hints.
Even before boarding the magic caravan, there was an aristocratic lady in a flower-like dress holding her chest, like a crystal shoe tripping over the red carpet, and then this aristocratic lady, who was so white at night that people were a little dazzling, fell down very naturally. To the arms of Suldak who was just about to walk into the carriage.
The big white rabbit bound in the low-cut dress almost jumped out.
But Suldak didn't even look back, and just bent down and got into the carriage.
And when he turned and waved out the car window, the noble lady just disappeared into the crowd.
Aphrodite, who was sitting in the shadow of the carriage, glanced at Suldak contemptuously, and teased him: "I really don't understand pity, Commander Suldak."
The magic caravan drove out of the vestibule gate of the mansion, and Suldak exhaled, opened the window to let fresh air blow in, looked out the window at the street lights that kept flying backwards, and said:
"I thought the aristocratic circle in Handanar City was monolithic!"
"What did you gain this time?" Aphrodite asked.
"When I come back from Bena Province, someone will probably ask me to purchase those black powder kegs in private!" Suldak said casually, "But... it doesn't seem to matter if there are any, at least in a short period of time, I can't tell them. Sell these powder kegs."
Suldak's temporary residence is in the office of the military headquarters in Handanar City, which is an 'L'-shaped three-story building located in the central square, where Suldak obtained the Epsom City's Send a pass, stay here for one night, and leave here tomorrow morning on a magic airship bound for Epsom.
For him, the commander of the West Route Army, the officer in charge of the military headquarters staying in Handanar City dare not neglect him in the slightest.
At the beginning, the military department proposed to all the lords of Bena Province that the military department would provide all the logistics materials, and the lords only needed to send troops to go on an expedition to the Warsaw plane...
However, the military department received very little response. At first, the military department planned to organize a heavy cavalry regiment to reinforce the Warsaw plane, but in the end it was only the east and west two-way heavy armored infantry regiment.
All the lords are not optimistic about this reinforcement plan, thinking that many of them will be sent to death as cannon fodder...
But now, the young lord of the Ganbu plane appeared with a dazzling halo, and then returned to Bena City with these halos, saying that Duke Newman had specially approved two months of family leave, which is not right Let those lords who shrank in the province of Bena take a look at the demeanor of this man...
The military department is a special department that is completely in the hands of Duke Newman. Of course they know how much the commander of the West Route Army is favored by the Duke, so they not only actively contacted the magic airship ticket for Suldak, but After Erdak came to Handanar City, he also provided him with the best room.
The carriage stopped outside the small building, and when Suldak got out of the carriage, the guard at the door immediately opened the door of the small building.
Suldak strode in, and a clerk from the military department quickly followed up and asked Suldak if he had any needs at night.
Suldak waved his hand wearily, and just said: "Remember to prepare one for me tomorrow morning... oh, two, two breakfasts are enough, oh, yes, and prepare a carriage for me, I need it as soon as possible Go to the airport terminal."
"Okay, Commander."
The clerk followed behind Suldak and squeezed Suldak's instructions into the notebook.
"When I'm resting, don't let people disturb me..."
Surdak stood outside the room door and said to the clerk.
"yes!"
The clerk said.
Suldak didn't say anything, just opened the door and walked into the room.
This is the most prosperous neighborhood in Handanar City. Surdak's room is located on the third floor of the small building, which is considered the easternmost room. You can just see the bustling central square from the building.
But once again just close the wooden patio door and it's very quiet again!
