Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 227

  Chapter 227 Reinforcements from Cold Winter Town

  The letter for help sent by Commander Maddox-Hawk soon appeared in front of David.

  David looked at the request for help, and there was not much content in it. It only used a small amount of content to describe the current dire situation of Snowfield Fort.

  At present, there are more than 200 fully equipped infantrymen left in Snowfield Castle, and these infantrymen are all wounded.

   There are still more than 80 of the 100 strong archers sent to support, but the consumption of bows and arrows is huge, and there are not many left.

  One hundred iron tree knights also lost more than 30 knights, and there are less than 60 still fighting.

Back then, the reinforcements sent by Iron Tree Fort to Snowfield Fort did not appear to be a big loss, but at this time everyone was in a bad state, almost everyone was injured, and the physical and mental consumption was even greater. No one knew that the soldiers When will it completely collapse.

Snowfield Fort is an important fortress specially built by Iron Tree Fort on the northern plain. It also has a hundred well-armed elite infantry, thirty knights, and twenty strong archers stationed there. mixed up.

  In addition to the elites, the 1,000 auxiliary soldiers recruited from Iron Tree Fort had also entered the battlefield, and the losses were even more severe, with nearly 300 people killed.

  The local farmers in Xueyuanbao, as well as the farmers and craftsmen recruited from surrounding villages and towns, have also been issued weapons, and women and children have also joined the logistics and support work.

  In order to resist the invasion of the orcs, Snowfield Castle has used all available power, but now they are almost unable to hold on.

   "My lord, Snowfield Castle urgently hopes that Lord Baron Glamorgan can provide support."

  The knight in front of him is Maddox-Hawk's personal guard. Maddox can only entrust this kind of matter to the person he trusts the most, and he can't rest assured that it is entrusted to others.

   "Don't worry, as the lord of the Kingdom of Tilan, you will not sit back and watch the kingdom's territory be occupied by a group of dirty orcs."

  David saw what he wanted to see most in the letter. Maddox, the current commander of Snowfield Castle, said that once Baron David Glamorgan arrived at Snowfield Castle, he would give up his command.

  Once the command power is in David's hands, no one else can take it back.

  With this letter of appeal for help, he can legally occupy Snowfield Castle and turn the entire western half of the northern plain into the territory of Cold Winter Town.

   Afterwards, you can apply to upgrade your territory from Winter Town to Winter City, and Goldfinger will be upgraded again.

   "What will change this time?"

  Waving his hand, he signaled the guard knight in front of him to go down and rest temporarily. He wanted to discuss the details of the military transfer in Cold Winter Town with his subordinates.

  Generally speaking, as a messenger for help, he is also tasked with providing battlefield intelligence, and this kind of meeting does not exclude him.

   But the situation in Rinwinter Town is special, and this personal guard also knows that Maddox Hawke's appeal to Rinwinter Town for help is actually sacrificing his own future in order to protect the civilians and soldiers of Snowfield Fort.

  Even if Snowfield Castle successfully resisted the attack of the orcs, and the civilians and soldiers in Snowfield Castle escaped unharmed, Maddox-Hawk himself would not end well.

   On the surface, Iron Tree Fort will not treat him well, but he will be squeezed out, marginalized in secret, until he dies.

   But so what? Personal guard Lemoore feels that Maddox Hawke made the right choice, at least he now has hope of living.

  As for the future... If you can't survive, you have no future at all.

  No matter what, I have successfully sent the letter of appeal to Baron Glamorgan. Judging from the reaction of the lord of Cold Winter Town, he should rescue Snowfield Fort.

   Maddox has delivered Snowfield Fort to the mouth of the lord of Cold Winter Town, even a lord can't let go of such an opportunity!

  Looking around, he was full of worries when he came here, which made him ignore the surrounding situation.

  Until this moment, he didn't realize that Cold Winter Town is such a beautiful and magical city, including the Castle of Glamorgan where he was. It was the first time he had seen such a bright and clean castle…

  Gareth Stanton, Arcee, Krausa and others rushed to David's office immediately, and what they wanted to discuss was not just the matter of supporting and occupying Snowfield Fort.

  David needs to determine what the current state of all the available military forces in Cold Winter Town is.

   "Fifty Winter Knights, although there are 20 recruits among them, but relying on the advantages of equipment, and using the old with the new, can ensure that the combat effectiveness of the Knights remains above a certain level."

  In addition, Gareth Stanton and Floyd were officially recognized by the Holy Light not long ago, and both he and Floyd have become true paladins.

  The two people who have been baptized by the Holy Light have even stronger combat effectiveness, and can bring out the maximum combat effectiveness of the optimized and finalized Blizzard Power Armor.

   "The Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment is still using 'traditional armor', but with the advantages of crystal mine weapons, they have no problem dealing with ordinary orcs."

  Members of the Cold Winter Knights have used various training methods beyond the limit, which are inherited from the Tiran Knights.

   This has extremely high requirements on the quality of the trained knight, and at the same time, it must be supplemented with various special medicinal materials to ensure that the body will not be crippled by training.

  But in Cold Winter Town, the Winter Knights, who have the protection of the Holy Light, no longer need medicine and other magic and alchemy assistance, and can practice beyond the limit regardless of any risks.

   This is also an important reason why the Winter Knights can quickly form combat effectiveness. Liadrin and Sally Whitemane played a huge role in the establishment of the Knights.

  With Floyd and Gareth Stanton becoming real paladins, the future combat effectiveness of the Knights of Winter can be further improved.

The Spartan Infantry actually used the same training method, but the Spartans started at a lower level than the Winter Knights—the original members of the Winter Knights were excellent soldiers dug from Tilan , Their strength is beyond ordinary people.

  The soldiers added later are mainly artisans from Azeroth, and these guys are not ordinary people.

  The newly recruited recruits are still mainly Azerothians, which is a step higher than the Spartans at the beginning.

  Based on this situation, the Knights of Winter can use power armor freely.

   Otherwise, if the physical fitness is not up to standard, the power armor will not only have no buff effect, but will even pose a threat to the user's life.

  Although the operating system that came from Tony Stark for free has made the operation of the armor much easier, at least there will be no terrible situation where the waist is twisted 180 degrees when you turn around.

  But ordinary soldiers do not have super artificial intelligence assistance like Jarvis. If their own reaction ability is not enough, they cannot keep up with the enhanced speed, and naturally they cannot exert their true combat power.

  So, the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment currently uses traditional armor, and they will not switch to power armor until their own quality has improved a bit.

   "The Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment is dispatched this time."

  There are 50 members of the Winter Knights, and David will bring 30 people this time. As for how many recruits to bring or not at all, it is up to Gareth Stanton to decide.

  There are ten other soldiers who will be stationed at Frost and Cold Watch, which means that there will only be ten Winter Knights soldiers left in Winter Town.

   It looks empty inside, but it is not.

  Most of the Transformers have come to Cold Winter Town now. Even if Arcee goes out to fight orcs with her, there are still a lot of Autobots stationed in Cold Winter Town, such as Digger, Skyfire, Hot Rod, and Drift.

  The formation of the security brigade also ensures that there is a "human" force in the town of Lindong, ensuring that there will be no problems in the territory.

   "James Norrington and Floyd continue to stay in the barracks to train recruits... Are the soldiers from the second phase of Spartan here?"

  The second batch of Spartan warriors coming through Helen have all arrived in Cold Winter Town. According to Gareth's introduction, this group of people is learning the common language of Brennia and doing the most basic physical training.

  After assigning the tasks of several military leaders, while Gareth was mobilizing the soldiers to make preparations before departure. David called Wetherby, Eva, and Elizabeth again, and told them that he was going to Snowfield Castle, and he relied on these housekeepers during this time.

  In fact, Snowfield Fort is not far away. If there is an emergency, David will be able to fly back by transforming into a Tomcat fighter jet with a hand of fuel.

  So after he explained a few words casually, he went to find someone suitable to fight with him.

  He first found the Inspector, who is a relatively rare Transformer among Autobots and can be turned into a military vehicle. He has powerful firepower and defense capabilities. This kind of battle is most suitable for him to use his own advantages.

  Besides, Medivh and Jaina both said that they would go to the front line to have a look. These orcs were very curious about the orcs in this world, and Sylvanas even brought Spellbreaker and Ranger guards.

  With the addition of Renault Mograine and Sally Whitemane, Cold Winter Town attaches great importance to this expedition.

   This situation occurs, in the final analysis, because of the information obtained from the ruins of the dark elves. Jaina and Medivh want to see what kind of existence stands behind the orcs in this world.

  So, when Lemoore received the news that the reinforcements in Cold Winter Town had been assembled and were about to set off, this was what he saw:

  Two Quin-style fighter jets were parked there, and dozens of heavy-armored knights who looked like they were wearing heavy armor wrapped around their bodies lined up and got into the belly of the giant bird.

   A hundred heavily armed hoplites were also under command, boarding huge wagons, but Lemoore did not see the livestock pulling the wagons.

  The lord of Cold Winter Town, Baron Glamorgan, was wearing a gorgeous suit of purple-gold color armor with golden radiance on his shoulders, and he was talking to several elves.

  Lemoore never thought that there would be elves in Cold Winter Town, and these elves would go to support Snowfield Castle now.

   This scene was a bit too magical for Lemoore, who had fought elves countless times.
