Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 247

  Chapter 247 The Mission of Earl Stewart

  After Snowfield Castle became David's territory, the residents and the original garrison inside were transferred to Cold Winter Town by David, and then Digger moved into Snowfield Castle to rebuild the border post in the current Cold Winter City territory.

  The focus of reconstruction is placed in the city, such as building a relatively small power plant (using crystal ore as energy), small garbage and sewage treatment plants, power supply, water supply, sewage and other infrastructure.

   Then came the paving of the road to ensure that the Transformers from Cybertron could move relatively freely in Snowfield Castle, and then built various buildings.

The currently built buildings are mainly military barracks, because the current situation of Snowfield Castle is special, no civilians live here, and all facilities are for military service, so the interior style of the renovated Snowfield Castle is very 'cold', revealing everywhere A chilling breath.

  Earl Sutton-Stewart took a general look, and found that there were no ordinary residents in Snowfield Castle, and the few people who were not wearing armor seemed to be soldiers.

   "Are there no ordinary people and craftsmen in Snowfield Fort?"

"No." David didn't think there was any need to hide these things. When Sutton Stewart brought a large group of people to Winter City, he knew that the magic of Winter City would be known by the Kingdom of Tilan : "Currently, Snowfield Castle is the outermost line of defense of Cold Winter City, and it is very close to the orcs, so it has been converted into a purely military facility."

In a way, he also wants to show off his territory. In that case, His Majesty King Abelson may raise a lot of questions, but before some questions are answered, he is even less likely to do anything to Cold Winter City. David can develop quietly for a while again.

After listening to David's various introductions, Sutton realized that the transformation of Snowfield Castle in Winter City was very thorough. It can be said that there is nothing different from the original Snowfield Castle except for the circle of city walls and the name of Snowfield Castle. related.

Even the building they entered was a new house that had just been built—the original fortress that had just been framed had been demolished, and now this building, which is closer to the winter style, looks defenseless, but It will be more comfortable to live in.

   Earl Sutton-Stewart and Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia arranged to rest here, and the guards of the mission were led to the barracks.

  The army barracks in Snowfield Castle are large and comfortable, because the current number of soldiers in Winter City is not large, so there is enough room to entertain these guards.

  After entering the barracks, the guards felt a burst of heat, and suddenly realized that they might not have to worry about being frozen in this icy and snowy land.

   "The living conditions of these soldiers in Winter City are actually better than the barracks where the Tiran Knights are stationed..."

  The members of the Tiran Knights are all of good background, and they will definitely be dissatisfied if the living conditions are too poor.

   As the strongest military force in the Kingdom of Tilan, the Knights of Tiran received top-notch treatment. Even the residences assigned by ordinary knights were no worse than standard rooms in ordinary hotels.

  But only the Knights of Tilan can get this kind of treatment. No other army in the kingdom of Tilan can enjoy such good benefits.

   Unexpectedly, today in the cold frontier of the Kingdom of Tilan, the knights of the Tilan Knights saw troops whose accommodation conditions were no worse than those of the Tilan Knights.

   "Look at the heavy armor on those guys. The Earl of Glamorgan is very willing to spend money on soldiers." It will cost a lot of money to support a powerful army, and many lords are reluctant to spend large sums of money on soldiers.

  Especially this seemingly 'unnecessary' expense!

   "Considering that the Earl of Winter City repelled the orcs not long ago, it seems that the Earl made a very correct choice."

   "Speaking of orcs, I began to wonder what those so-called orcs look like?"

   The guards were discussing orcs, and Sutton Stewart was discussing orcs with David.

  He came to the northern plains this time, and he also shouldered the task of investigating the military situation. He had to determine how big a threat the orcs were to the Kingdom of Tilan, and he had to report in detail to His Majesty the King when he returned.

"Orcs..." David told all the orc information he had. Sutton didn't pay much attention to it at first. He thought the same as most people in the kingdom. How could it be possible for a group of backward races defeated by Lord Winter? Will it pose a threat to the mighty Kingdom of Tilan?

  Rinwinter City is just a small border town, with a small population, it is obviously impossible for the military to be very strong.

  How weak orcs can be defeated by Lord Winter?

  They wondered how useless the soldiers of Iron Tree Fort were? Can't even resist a group of weak chickens? He actually had to ask the king for help.

Now I came to Snowfield Fort in person, saw David's heavy armored knights (Winter Knights wearing power armor), saw those tall metal puppets, and those who could quickly transform Snowfield Fort into a purely military facility Strong infrastructure capabilities.

   Sutton Stewart has realized that those orcs may not be as weak as they thought at first, and Iron Tree Fort could not resist the attack of the orcs, nor was it because of its own strength.

   It's the strength of Winter City, which is beyond everyone's imagination!

   Having heard David's description at this time, the specific situation of the orcs proves the judgment Sarton just made.

   "Able to fight against elite knights, tall and stout, with an amazing number..." A single orc's combat effectiveness is not weak, and one-on-one can fight against strictly trained elite soldiers.

   But what is even more frightening is the number of orcs. Snowfield Fortress was previously attacked by 5,000 orcs, and this is not the full strength of the orcs.

   "At present, there are a large number of orcs scattered in the eastern part of the northern plain. It is difficult to count the exact number, because these orcs came to the northern plain from more distant places, and they seem to be still migrating to this land continuously."

  David once thought about going to the east to investigate and see where these orcs came from?

  But after confirming that there is a powerful **** behind the scenes, and after Pretender 1 was destroyed neatly, he temporarily gave up this investigation plan.

   Fly directly over, will I be killed by the gods like Pretender No. 1? Even if it is just inexplicable attention, it is not a good thing for him.

   Why not maintain the current state first, and observe whether there will be any strange changes on the side of the orcs while improving their strength?

  According to what the dark elf priest I met at the beginning said, when the dark elves invaded the Brennia continent, the Goddess of the Night helped a lot; later when humans entered the Brennia continent, they also had the protection of the God of War and the Goddess of Harvest.

   It doesn't make sense. The orcs don't have any power here, which means that the orcs obviously have a bigger hole card and haven't used it yet.

  He did not tell Sutton Stewart about this unconfirmed news, but even if he only told the earl the information he has so far, it has already made Earl Sutton Stewart aware of the seriousness of the matter.

  The large number of orcs with good combat effectiveness is indeed a huge threat. After silently thinking about the northern plain and the surrounding terrain, Earl Sutton Stewart wanted to determine whether the orcs might threaten the interior of the Kingdom of Tilan from other routes.

   Fortunately, unless these orcs can cross the Tilan Mountains, only by breaking Winter City and Iron Tree Fort in succession can they threaten the core territory of the Tilan Kingdom.

  He suddenly remembered that there had been some news from the Sodulunma Empire some time ago: their eastern region had not been very peaceful in the past two years and was frequently attacked.

  When the Kingdom of Tilan received this news, it was considered lively and fun. Looking at it now, is it possible that the orcs were actually the orcs who harassed the coast of the Soduruma Empire in the past two years?

   After sorting out all kinds of information in his mind, Sutton recorded the information first, then asked about the situation of Snowfield Fort, and expressed his desire to visit the current defense status of Snowfield Fort.

   "If there is a need in Winter City, the king will send the Knights of Tiran to Snowfield Castle!"

   "There is no need for this at the moment." David didn't want the fortress he took so hard to be taken by the Knights of Tiran for no reason.

  The Tiran Knights have entered Snowfield Castle, will Snowfield Castle still be considered their own territory? Do these knights listen to themselves or directly to the king?

  The answer is obvious. After all, even David himself is loyal to His Majesty the King. It is impossible for the Tiran Knights to ignore the king's order and act according to his earl's order.

   Coming out of the room, Sutton followed David up the city wall. At this time, he noticed that there were always huge metal puppets 'hanging around' near the city wall. It seemed that these puppets were on guard and patrolling.

   "I've wanted to ask since just now."

"what?"

   "Are these metal golems made using alchemy?"

   "No!" David greeted Lightning not far away: "They are Cybertronians, a very special race."

"Forehead…"

  Sarton never imagined that the metal puppet he always thought was a special kind of life form, and it was also a group.

  So, this huge metal giant called a Cybertronian has become a citizen of Winter City?

   Could it be that these Cybertronians are the real reason why Winter City is so powerful?

   Sutton felt that he might have guessed the truth, and in a sense, his guess could not be wrong!

  At the same time, the Earl was keenly aware that David seemed to have told himself the information on purpose. It seemed that he wanted to explain the powerful secret of Winter City to His Majesty the King through his report.

  Why do you do this? Perhaps to show loyalty? In order to reduce the jealousy from the king?

No matter what the idea is, Sutton Stewart feels that his mission this time should be easier to complete—he is going to Winter City this time, in addition to investigating the situation of the orcs, he also needs to figure out the situation Case.

  Including what happened to the so-called flying dragon? Check everything out!
