Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 251

  Chapter 251 Sophia's Choice

  Standing on the Lindong Pier, looking at the several fishing boats parked beside the dock, rising and falling with the wind and waves, Sophia looked at it with interest for a while, and then turned her gaze to the military dock at a certain distance.

   Compared with the fishing boats next to it, the cruiser transformed by Skyfire is undoubtedly more conspicuous: "The Winter River is so vast."

   Looking at the boat, but talking about the river.

   "Where does the river lead to?"

   "Follow the river to the west, and eventually it will sail into the sea."

"Sea? Does it lead to the sea?" The Kingdom of Tilan is considered an inland country, and there is no coastline throughout the kingdom. After the establishment of Winter City, it sails to the sea to the west through the Winter River, which is the only outlet of the Kingdom of Tilan. .

  David did not report this information, and even His Majesty the King didn't know that his country now had an outlet to the sea.

   Tell Sophia about this now, maybe His Majesty King Abelson will know the news soon, right?

  David was thinking so, Sophia suddenly turned to look at herself.

"how?"

   "Need me to keep you secret?"

   "Are you talking about Haikou?"

   "Yeah!" Sophia nodded violently a few times: "I don't need to tell anyone!"

  David looked at the young princess and suddenly wanted to know what she was thinking. Why didn't he reject this marriage? And looking at it like this, did you make up your mind to marry yourself?

Asking the question directly, I thought Sophia would be a little embarrassed, but Her Royal Highness was only stunned for two seconds, and then gave an irrefutable answer: "If I don't marry you, I will marry someone else. I know if I can stay in Tilan..."

   As the princess of Tilan Kingdom, this is Sofia's inescapable destiny!

  Her marriage is not simply a marriage, it will be mixed with many, many additional factors.

  Comparing the various situations, it will be found that marrying David is a pretty good choice for Sophia herself: she has met David, and she has some affection for David.

  David, who is young, handsome, powerful, and possesses impressive abilities, must be better than a stranger she has never seen before and has no idea what kind of personality he is.

   What's more, she can still stay in Tilan after marrying David. If she is married abroad for some reason, she may not be able to return to her hometown for the rest of her life.

   What's even more frightening is that if she is really married to another country, she may have to maintain the majesty of Princess Tilan at all times, and she will never be able to do what she wants or likes to do as she pleases.

  That kind of life is too scary, even if she knows her own destiny and mission, she is unwilling to choose that kind of future.

  Listening to Sophia's description, David found that the other party's reasons were indeed very good, and he would have made the same choice if he were faced with a similar situation.

  Take Sophia to the military pier for another round, and even boarded the deck of the cruiser transformed by Skyfire, standing on the deck to feel the strong north wind on the lower river.

   Sophia, who closed her eyes and felt for a while, suddenly took off the necklace around her neck, and then she really felt the winter in Winter City, especially in windy days.

   "It's cold!"

  David moved quickly. He raised his hand and released a holy light to protect the princess. Then he took the necklace from Sophia's hand and put it back on Sophia's neck.

   At this time, Sophia was still looking down at the golden light lingering around her body: "What is this?"

   "Holy Light."

   "Holy light?"

   "Well, it's a magical power..."

  Put the temperature-maintaining necklace back on for Sofia. David briefly introduced the Holy Light to Sofia, and by the way, introduced the Cathedral of the Holy Light and the Church of the Holy Light.

   "Sounds a bit like a temple?"

   "The difference is still very obvious."

  The gods enshrined in the temple are deities with names and surnames. This is not the case in the teachings of the Holy Light Church, and the so-called Holy Light is not a clear individual.

   Chatting and chatting, the sun gradually set, and night gradually shrouded Winter City.

  Because it is winter, the sun sets earlier, and the sky is already dark, but it is not yet dinner time.

But the dignified princess, even if she is dating her 'fiancé', she can't stay home under the dark sky, so even though she still has many curious things, she still rides the iron sheet back to the cold winter hotel. In a high-end residential area.

   "There are many interesting things here, and I am very much looking forward to tomorrow's visit."

   "There will be more interesting things tomorrow. Your Royal Highness, please rest well and recharge your spirits." Tomorrow's visit is not just to entertain Princess Sophia, Earl Sutton Stewart is also an important guest.

  At the same time, the main place to visit tomorrow is the Cold Winter Barracks. Although a lot of information will be exposed, it is also an opportunity to show your strength.

After bidding farewell to Princess Sophia, after David returned to the office of Fort Glamorgan, he was discussing with Etiquette Officer Elias, Commander of the Winter Knights Gareth Stanton, Deputy Commander Floyd and others Tomorrow's business.

In addition, there is a laser bird standing on David's desk. The laser bird appears here to represent the Decepticons. The now-renamed Cybertron Legion—the laser bird will broadcast the meeting simultaneously for Sound Wave and Megatron. Megatron Tian can also discuss things with David through the laser bird.

  No way, although the Decepticons have joined Winter City, when Fort Glamorgan was first built, the internal buildings were built according to the standard of 'human', and the meeting with the Cybertronians was not considered.

  However, it is said that Megatron and Optimus Prime have decided to establish a Cybertron technology research center in the Cybertron living area. The first key research topic is the deeper application of Cybertron compression technology.

The goal of the research is to allow Cybertronians to maintain a human-like body shape for a long time without affecting the efficiency of combat and transformation—Cybertron compression technology can compress them to the size of ordinary humans, but this compression will Cause various side effects, such as longer deformation time and so on.

   As for the fact that they didn't study this technology before, it was because there was no need for it.

   Now Megatron feels that he needs to further strengthen his compression technology. He doesn't want to have Laser Bird to help broadcast every meeting.

   "Tomorrow's tour route has been basically determined: start with farmland and residential areas, followed by garbage, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, water plants, and finally military camps."

  Visit routes are drawn up by Elias, this order should consider the route, time and lunch and so on.

   "If all goes well, we will be able to arrive at the barracks at noon. After a simple lunch in the barracks, we will start to visit various areas in the barracks, various weapons and equipment, and some combat power displays."

  Elias finished talking about the entire process, and the next step is the work of the two commanders.

"My lord, when demonstrating the combat power of the Winter Knights, do you have to hold back appropriately?" Although Gareth Stanton was appointed by His Majesty King Abelson to become David's personal guard knight, he has always been Firmly regard David-Earl of Glamorgan as his object of allegiance, the Earl of Glamorgan is his real monarch.

  So at this time, he will only consider the interests of David, not the interests of the king or the Kingdom of Tilan.

"No, there's no need for that!" David waved his hand, saying that it would be fine to perform the demonstration according to the normal situation: "Even if Earl Stewart knows the actual combat power of the Winter Knights, when he returns to the capital, he will send the information." By the time it was reported, the information had already become outdated."

  The Winter Knights have already embarked on the fast track, especially after Tony Stark, a guy who likes to tinker with black technology, officially settled in Winter City, the equipment of the Winter Knights is constantly being updated.

  Currently, the Winter Knights are generally equipped with the test-type Blizzard Power Armor, which is also the equipment that will be displayed tomorrow.

  In fact, the official version of Blizzard Power Armor has been finalized, and several sets have been produced for testing.

  In the future, the Knights of Winter will gradually switch to the official model of Blizzard Power Armor.

  The official model of Blizzard Powered Armor, in addition to better internal system facilities, has also significantly improved its combat effectiveness: Cybertron energy shield, greater mobility and strength increase, more powerful shock absorption system, etc.

  Plus the new-generation rifle tentatively code-named flute that is still being tested.

  As for why it is called flute? It was because David named the standard pistol in Winter City as a piano, so Tony randomly chose a musical instrument as the code name for the new rifle.

  A lot of new weapons are waiting to be installed, and the soldiers of the Winter Knights have begun to receive Paladin training, and their combat power will soon be greatly improved, so there is no need to hide these things currently in hand.

As for things that really need to be hidden, such as fighting methods and new tactics, there is no need to hide these things. In the previous battle in Snowfield Fort, many soldiers in Iron Tree Fort saw how the battle was fought in Winter City. He didn't believe that the information could not be obtained from the capital.

What's more, if I deliberately make a huge difference from the Battle of Snowfield Castle tomorrow when I present the army of Winter City, it will cause more suspicion... At this period when the Kingdom of Tilan is preparing to force the population to move to the north, it will cause suspicion Not a smart thing to do.

  After David briefly explained his thoughts, the people in front of them knew what to do tomorrow: train as usual, and show as they want.

   Come to think of it, after Winter City has demonstrated enough fighting power, the capital will not continue to insist on sending troops to the northern plains.

   "What should we do?" The Laser Bird, who hadn't spoken, made Megatron's voice. The Cybertron Legion is also a part of the Winter Legion, but how should they show their abilities tomorrow?

   "Let the nitrogen Zeus perform a flight show, and show the effect of the ground attack by the way."
