Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 265

  Chapter 265 Benefits of being a first investor

   This is the fourth winter that David has experienced since he came to the northern plains, and now he can already enjoy the winter very well.

   Staying in the warm Fort Glamorgan, drinking steaming tea, eating all kinds of snacks and snacks made from the crops produced in your own territory, and talking nonsense with Laura.

   "I heard that you plan to send people to the capital to collect information?" Laura peeled an orange, tasted it herself, and stuffed it into David's mouth one by one.

   "This orange is so sour!"

   "I know you like to eat sour!" Laura didn't mean to stop, and continued to stuff oranges into David's mouth: "Are you ready to make Winter City an independent country?"

"It's just normal intelligence gathering!" Although it was very sour, when Laura stuffed an orange into his mouth, he opened his mouth and ate it obediently: "It's not just the information about the Kingdom of Tilan, if possible, I would like to Send some intelligence personnel to several surrounding countries."

  If it wasn't for the issue of racial appearance, David even wanted to place intelligence personnel on the side of orcs and elves, but unfortunately, the huge difference in appearance made this kind of thing difficult to do.

   "And collecting this information is also to ensure the safety of Winter City and the northern plains."

  David knew that the Kingdom of Tilan had powerful equipment, and he could confirm this from the reactions of Earl Sutton Stewart and Princess Sophia.

  The female knight Magnolia's 'answer' just made him more sure.

  Then the question is, the Kingdom of Tilan has powerful secret weapons that are unknown to the public, so are there similar things in the other major human kingdoms that are juxtaposed with it?

  The Sodulunma Empire can own the most extensive land in the human kingdom, it should not be as simple as the long time it has existed, right?

  So many small tricks behind the scenes of the Holy Gunter Kingdom? Rely on what? Are there many gods believed in in the temple?

   There is also the New Ailan Federation, which was established to fight against the three great powers, and what power does it use to resist the attack of the three countries?

  If possible, David would like to personally visit the three countries to find out the information.

   But it's just a thought. This kind of thing is very unrealistic. Even if his identity is not considered, it would be difficult for David, who is not a professional intelligence officer, to find out enough useful information. It is just a waste of time.

  Listening to David's words, Laura always felt amazing.

  Just over a year ago, David was just a small village chief, and there were only a few cabins in the entire territory.

  Although David had already noticed that he had a lot of ambitions at that time, Laura felt that it would take several years for David to achieve some results, right?

  How long has it been? In less than two years, Cold Winter City has risen from the ground, and the vast northern plain is already David's territory. He also has a very powerful army in his hands.

   Winter Knights, Spartan Heavy Infantry, Cybertron Legion.

  According to Laura's understanding, the Winter Knights are slowly increasing their numbers and changing to new weapons, and the Spartan Heavy Infantry will become the main force using power armor in the future after the number of Spartan Heavy Infantry surges.

  In addition to the already powerful Decepticons and Autobots, the Cybertron Legion has recently begun to produce mass-produced fighters that can transform into Quin-style fighters, so that the Winter Knights have a suitable vehicle.

  In Laura's view, as long as all these goals are accomplished, David's military power is enough to make him a king.

"pity…"

   "What's the matter?" David swallowed the last piece of orange, but suddenly heard this sentence, and looked at Laura with a strange face: "What did you think of?"

   "When you become His Majesty the King, there will be more things to deal with in the future, right?"

  David now has more and more things to deal with. Compared with when David was studying and practicing every day, and only needed to spare some time to deal with affairs occasionally, now David spends some time on business affairs every day.

   Even if there is no work that really requires him to make a decision, it will take a lot of time just to listen to the progress reports of various things.

  Although Laura is not like Gwen, who likes to stick to David all the time, she sometimes hopes to live a "two-person world" with David.

   It would be even better if two people could go to some special places together for adventure as they did back then.

   "It's not difficult!" David stretched out his hand and rubbed Laura's little head, but was knocked off by Laura's speechless expression: "If you want to go out on an adventure with me, you can go anytime!"

   "Don't you care about your territory?"

   "There is nothing I have to keep an eye on in Winter City. Even if the orcs try their best to attack Snowfield Fort or Frost Post, Gareth and Floyd know how to deal with it."

  As for the construction of schools and factories, he, the lord, does not need to personally watch over them. Otherwise, what is the point of appointing various officials?

  Theoretically speaking, David can leave all kinds of work to his subordinates, unless it is a major matter related to the survival of the territory, other things can be ignored.

   "Besides, this is also a major matter related to the survival of the territory."

"oh?"

   "I can't make my investors unhappy!"

  Laura nodded with a smile, thinking that what David said made sense. As the first person to 'invest' in Winter City, she was indeed entitled to enjoy some privileges.

  Then the next question, from whether to find a place to live the world of two people, to where to go?

  The northern plains are definitely not suitable. It has officially entered winter and there has been heavy snowfall. The whole area has turned into a vast expanse of whiteness, and there is nothing to play at all.

   Leave the northern plains and go to other areas to see?

   "Will it run too far? Isn't that bad?"

   "You forgot that I have the body of Cybertron? Is there a fighter form?"

   "This is..."

  If you use the Tomcat fighter, two people can leave and fly back to Winter City in a very short time, no matter how far they run.

   "It's a choice, think about other places?"

  Living in Winter City, one of the advantages of having a good relationship with David is that besides the continent of Brennia and the world he originally lived in, he can also venture to other worlds.

   This suits Laura best.

  As time goes by, more and more visitors from other worlds come to Winter City, and Laura has more and more choices.

   Just like when she was bored, she could go on an adventure to the Caribbean world, this time she can also choose a target in a targeted manner.

   "Azeroth World, Marvel Universe, Resident Evil World, Amazing Spider World, Pokémon World..."

   There are already several worlds to choose from. After serious thinking, Laura quickly ruled out most of the modern background worlds.

  Like the Marvel universe, the world of Amazing Spider-Man, the world of Resident Evil, most of the places are no different from the world she lives in. What's the point of her going there?

The only places that meet her adventure requirements are the world of Pokémon and Azeroth. However, she is not interested in becoming a Pokémon trainer. It is more fun to go to the world of Azeroth. There are many things to explore in that world. places and things.

   "Do you want to go to Azeroth?"

"If possible, I would actually like to experience the live-action version of World of Warcraft." When I checked the information, Laura also played a little bit of that game. After estimating the time, I found that the world of Azeroth is now It's pretty close to that point in time.

   "Oh, that's an interesting suggestion indeed."

  Laura didn't say that David didn't care, but now that he mentions it, he realizes it.

In addition, he felt that a visit to the world of Azeroth would allow him to deal with some trivial matters: Anduin has been in Winter City for a while, so he can't let this prince live in Winter City all the time, right? ?

In addition, because Fording returned to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the connection between Varian and Winter City was not smooth. David felt that after Anduin was sent to Winter City, Varian never sent him The reason for taking it back is that it is difficult for the two parties to get in touch at present.

In the past this time, formal diplomatic relations can also be established, so that it will be easy for Winter City to connect with the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the future, and the human kingdoms at the southern and northern ends of the Eastern Kingdom continent will become Winter City's allies .

   "That's it! Go to Azeroth and experience the real World of Warcraft!"

  The business is done by the way, and there is no need to waste any time.

   "It's a deal!" Laura kissed David heavily on the face, and then happily got ready.

  David didn't call Helen or Gwen any more. He had already agreed with Laura that he was going to live a two-person world. Of course, he couldn't call someone extra.

   At most, he would call Eva in, give some instructions to his clerk, and tell her what he was doing.

  Due to the upgrade of Goldfinger, people like Sylvanas and Jaina have gained the ability to go back and forth to the world of Azeroth at will, so David doesn't have to worry about Eva not being able to find him in a special emergency.

  When necessary, Jaina or Sylvanas can go to Azeroth, and then call David back to Winter City through the communication device.

   "When Laura and I come back this time, maybe you can take a vacation?"

  Eva has been helping David since she came to Winter City, basically every day of the year is a working day.

   Now that everything in Winter City is on the right track, Eva may be able to take a good rest.

   "Let's talk about it after you come back!"

  Eva doesn't think it's too hard, she likes such a fulfilling life very much. In addition, she thought that after David and Laura went out for a while, it was impossible to accompany her on vacation immediately. In that case, it would be better to wait for the next time.

   "Then make a decision when I come back."

  After giving all the instructions, David also went to pack his luggage. This time he will stay in Azeroth for a while, so he must bring some very important equipment, such as toilet paper, shampoo and so on.
