Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 374

  Chapter 374 Multiple choice questions faced by mutants

  Did not call the driver alone, David chose a convertible off-road vehicle from the garage, started it, and drove Gwen to the direction of Winter Barracks.

   This car was produced by Winter City and uses a crystal mine engine.

  However, all subsequent cars and aircraft will be replaced with new engines, and this design of directly installing crystal ore into the engine will no longer be used.

   But no matter how it is improved, David, as the lord, will have various types of prototype cars here. Even if they are not used in normal times, they can be placed in a large enough garage as a display—it can be regarded as a record of the development of Winter City!

  But David chose this car mainly because it is open-top and can accommodate multiple people.

  If it's just me and Gwen, the Mustang sports car that I carry with me is actually more suitable.

   "Who will get under the table next? Sophia? Helen? Laura?" As soon as the car pulled out of the garage, Gwen suddenly asked a question: "Do you need my help?"

  David looked at Gwen speechlessly. Could it be that Gwen is jealous? But when he saw Gwen's eyes that seemed to be shining, he realized that he had guessed wrong.

   Could it be that because she was the first, she wanted to drag more people into the water after seeing others suffer too?

   "I'm afraid Laura will push you under the table then."

  Gwen shuddered when he thought of something, and resolutely gave up this dangerous idea.

  Laura can't beat her, Helen doesn't need to help at all, as for Sophia... such a cute little sister, she can't help her.

   But thinking that such a good little girl was harmed by the beasts around her, Gwen reminded David: "Speaking of which, don't bully Sophia, she is still young."

  David wanted to complain that she was not young, so he refrained from opening his mouth, but the people around him did not fight, infight, poison, or plot against each other, and they had a good relationship with each other. This really made him breathe a sigh of relief!

  Driving into the Cold Winter Barracks, after a little inquiring, he knew where the camp of the Knights of Tilan was.

  As more and more soldiers joined the Winter Army, the establishment of the Winter Army has gradually increased, and the Winter Army Camp has also begun to divide exclusive areas belonging to each army.

  The trump card of the Duke of Winter and the absolute confidant of the Duke of Winter, such as the Knights of Winter, can naturally give priority to dividing the territory.

  Subsequently, the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment, who followed Cold Winter City and made many exploits, had already determined their own camp.

  Although the Tiran Knights are the trump card of the Tiran Kingdom, after all, they have just joined Winter City and have not made any military exploits. In addition, they are still in the process of reorganization and training, so they only got the "assigned" barracks and resident.

  But there is no shortage of land in Winter City. When the Winter Barracks was first built, a large area was enclosed, so the camp of the Tiran Knights is not small, but the location is slightly off, and some training equipment needs to be temporarily built.

  After such a long period of time, the Tiran Knights have already completed the required facilities and equipment, but after Cirvanas took over the training work, they ordered a batch of new equipment.

  At the same time, she moved the barracks of the Tiran Knights to the forest.

  So, the Tiran Knights are currently located in the deepest part of the Winter Barracks, next to the Winter Forest.

   To some extent, the Tiran Knights can be regarded as the outermost line of defense in Winter City? Although no enemies will appear in this direction under normal circumstances.

  When David arrived, he found that it wasn't just Clarice and her Wolverine Logan and Magneto Eric Lanshere who had come to visit the Tiran Knights training.

  Sophia and Sutton Stewart, both the chief and deputy heads of the Tiran Knights, were there.

   "Your training is over?"

   "No, rest today." When Sutton saw David coming, he greeted him warmly. After all, he would work and eat under this subordinate in the future.

  Even so, he still can't get rid of some habits, or he doesn't want to change them at all: “What race is that girl named Clarice? Elf?”

"..." David glanced at Clarice, who was introducing something to Magneto not far away. This mutant with a flickering code name has a very unique appearance. It is normal to be misunderstood as not a human: "She is a human, but Because of the mutant gene, it looks unique."

   "Oh~" Sutton nodded to express his understanding, and then he asked a question that surprised David: "Can she join the Knights of Tiran?"

"ah?"

   "I heard that you plan to train the Tiran Knights to become the strongest ground mobile force in Winter City."

"so?"

   "This ability called Clarice is very suitable for the Knights of Tiran." He knew that Clarice had the ability to teleport through Sophia.

  The development direction of the Tiran Knights is no longer a secret. The fact that the Winter Alchemy Workshop is designing new armor for them has also spread throughout the army.

  The Duke has already shown that he attaches great importance to the Knights of Tiran, and the next thing is to see what kind of performance the members of the Knights of Tiran can show in return.

  The entire Winter City is staring at the Tiran Knights. In this case, even a big-hearted person like Sutton feels the pressure.

   The reason for wanting to attract special talents into the Tiran Knights is to show more exciting performances in the future.

   "I don't object to your idea in principle, but Clarice is not from Winter City yet."

"About this, I'm still very optimistic about you." Earl Sutton Stewart didn't know where the Cybertronians, the high elves came from, and the guy who just came to Winter City recently and called himself a Kryptonian .

  But David was able to attract so many 'races' to join Winter City, which shows that he is very good at this aspect.

  I am not going to join the team, and I don't even want to find out the real origins of these people. Anyway, he will know when he needs to know. Now that no one tells himself, it means that he doesn't need to know about those situations.

   After saying hello, Sutton walked aside and continued chatting with his niece.

  The two of them talked about the situation of the Knights of Tiran. Although Sophia was only a nominal leader, how could she think that as a leader, she didn't even understand her subordinates?

  Plus Her Royal Highness watched it in person, which indeed aroused the training enthusiasm of the Tiran knights, so no one disliked Sophia often coming to the training ground.

  David also greeted Sophia, maybe it was to maintain the majesty of the head of the group and Her Royal Highness, or maybe it was too full yesterday, Sophia was very calm, just greeted with a reserved smile.

   After finishing all this, David came to Clarice and the others.

  Gwen is already standing here, attracting the attention of the two guests, and buying David a little free time to say hello to the two.

   After Gwen and the others chatted for a while, David appeared just in time. As guests, the two of them would not feel that they were being ignored, and even if they saw through, they would express their understanding.

   "This is the lord of Winter City, David, Duke of Glamorgan."

   "This is Eric Lanshere; this is James Howlett, you can call him Logan."

  Clarice introduced each other to each other, and David did not jokingly relieve the atmosphere like when he met the phantom cat before.

  Both parties know that what is going to be discussed next is a major issue related to whether the mutants and the earthlings in that world can continue to survive. It is better to use less jokes when talking about such a serious topic.

   "I heard Clarice mention the two of you."

  Among the surviving mutants, Magneto King Eric Lanshere and Wolverine Logan are all mutants with extremely high seniority, leaders, mentors and other identities.

   These two came to Cold Winter City, and to some extent, they came here on behalf of all mutants.

   "Your Excellency the Duke."

  Because they are old enough and well-informed, although it feels amazing to go to another world, the two quickly accepted everything, and they also maintained enough respect for David's status as a feudal lord.

   "Welcome to Winter City, both of you."

   "I am also very grateful to the Duke for his warm invitation."

   "After the two visited, what do you think of Winter City?"

  Faced with such a direct question, Eric and Logan looked at each other, and Logan answered David's question: "It's a beautiful city, and there are many magical things...and people."

   While speaking, Logan glanced to the side, and there was a Cybertronian sitting there, who was training imaginary enemies as the Tiran Knights.

  He has seen a lot of this kind of huge metal robot in Winter City. Through Clarice's introduction, he knows that this huge robot is actually a special kind of life race called Cybertronians.

  In addition to the high elf priest who walked by from time to time in the barracks, Logan has fully realized that Winter City is a city where multiple races coexist.

   Here, the mutants don't seem to be anything special.

   Especially for mutants like Clarice who have obvious changes in appearance, the kind of love she showed for this city can be seen without blind eyes.

   Logan knew why, he had seen too many fellow mutants who were rejected by humans because of their differences in appearance.

  That is to say, the sentry later caused a greater crisis, otherwise there would be an unknown number of mutant children who would grow up or die under all kinds of strange eyes.

   And here in Winter City, Clarice has never felt that kind of sight full of 'disgust', at most someone will look at it curiously, and there is no negative emotion in that sight that makes her uncomfortable.

   For a moment, Logan felt that Winter City was a good choice: if the other party was willing to accept all mutants and other survivors on Earth.

   Turning to look at Magneto next to him, Logan knew that it didn't matter what he thought, because Magneto and Professor X thought of a way to save their own world.

  Visiting Winter City in person today is actually an alternative: at the same time, this is also a chance for the remaining mutants to choose.

  Because according to the plan of Magneto and Professor X, even if it succeeds, these surviving mutants will no longer exist.

   Or in other words, these people on the New World Line are no longer what they are now.
