Age of Empires From Scratch

Cold Winter Town's first self-defense counterattack lasted a total of ten seconds.

In fact, it didn't take that long. Arcee just fired two missiles and swept with the cannon for a few seconds.

She doesn't worry about hurting her own people. Apart from being confident in her 'shooting skills', she also knows that the armor on these soldiers was joined by the blacksmith Will Turner of Cold Winter Town because she often watched the soldiers training. Special equipment made of powder, these armors create an energy shield to protect soldiers when attacked.

Of course, such a thing as not wearing a helmet is the soldier's own mistake, and the soldier will be punished with some minor punishment-extra training.

Of course there are rewards. The specific rewards will be discussed by Gareth Stanton and Floyd. David now has to deal with another issue.

It is an irrefutable fact that Ironwater Village launched an attack on Rinwinter Town. Although Rinwinter Town has successfully defeated the enemy, it does not mean that the matter has come to an end.

David didn't think for too long, and after two seconds, he motioned to Elias to help him put on the armor.

The Lightbringer suit, which had been placed for a long time, was worn by David again. With a gorgeous cloak and a top-notch horse 'introduced' from the world of Azeroth, David's personal image was impeccable.

Floyd and Gareth Stanton also donned new armor and ordered ten more soldiers.

Everyone put on the special armor of Winter Town, and outside the armor was a blue-and-white-striped wolf-headed battle robe that symbolized the Baron of Glamorgan's family: Petunia, Liadrin, and the women of Winter Town together with craftsmen The tailors in the group work together to make it.

Instead of using armed Hummers and motorcycles, everyone rode on horses from Azeroth, and the horses were also heavily armored.

Since the establishment of a stable diplomatic relationship with Lordaeron, David and the others don't have to worry about the source of the war horses. Currently, there are more than 20 war horses in the town of Rinwinter. All members of the knight order are equipped with horses.

Putting on his weapons, David led the ceremonial officer Elias, two personal guard knights, and ten soldiers of the Winter Knights, and galloped towards Iron Water Village in the south.

David also keeps in touch with Arcie in the air through the walkie-talkie, and can call for air support at any time.

Under the full speed of these top war horses, even if they were knights wearing heavy armor and carrying the same heavy armor on their bodies, David and his party quickly saw their destination:

Iron Water Village is located at the position visible to the naked eye of the southern sentry post in Rinwinter Town.

From the location where Tieshui Village established the village, we can know that their conflict with Rinwinter Town is inevitable.

So David had expected that the village head of Ammandis would attack suddenly, which was why he led the people over without thinking for long.

Running all the way to the edge of the village before stopping, David looked at the low wooden wall in front of him, and didn't take this defenseless 'city wall' seriously at all.

In front of you is Lord Baron Glamorgan, the border guard of the Kingdom of Tilan, the pioneer of the frontier, and the lord of Cold Winter Town. Please inform your rulers to come out and meet the Baron immediately!

The villagers standing on the other side of the low wooden fence of Tieshui Village looked at each other a few times, but no one left to call out, only one person replied in a trembling voice: Honorable Baron... the village chief has already died.

There is no need for David to answer, it is still Elias who is talking to him: Who is currently managing the village?

Several people looked at each other again, and finally their eyes focused on a thin middle-aged man.

Seeing all the villagers looking at him, the middle-aged man cursed secretly in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and walked up: Honorable Lord Baron Glamorgan, Wilcox sends you my most sincere greeting.

Which family do you serve? Elias looked at the image and temperament of this middle-aged man named Wilcox, and knew that this man was probably a dog leg of a certain family.

The result was even worse than Elias expected. Wilcox said that he was not qualified to serve the nobles at all. Mantis is the one who serves the iron tree castle nobles.

Because Ammandis was more reliable in his work in the past, when the Barnett family he served wanted a share of the northern plains, he was sent over to serve as the village head of Iron Water Village.

Objectively speaking, the Barnett family thinks highly of Amamandis. In addition to providing various resources, they also promised that they will not deprive the village chief of Amamandis when Iron Water Village has a firm foothold in the northern plains. His identity would even make Amamantis the real village head of Iron Water Village and give him the status of a knight.

Of course, Iron Water Village will not remain the domain of the Amamantis family forever, and the village will be taken back by the Barnett family after his death.

Even so, it was a great reward for Amamandis, so Amamandis was very interested in Iron Water Village, and never thought of abandoning it and returning to Iron Tree Fort.

Because of this, when the village encountered a survival crisis, his first choice was to reach out to the north of Lingdong Town.

It's just that he didn't expect that the cold winter town in the north was a monster that he couldn't afford to provoke. He mobilized twenty of the most elite fighters in Iron Water Village, but he didn't even see the shadow of cold winter town. His seemingly nonsensical border line was completely wiped out.

Moreover, since Water Iron Village is not far from the border of Cold Winter Town, the people in Water Iron Village could clearly see the scene where Amamandis and twenty elite soldiers were suddenly wiped out by Arcee in ten seconds. .

This is also the real reason why no one jumped out when David came with his men and horses, although there were still elite soldiers who could fight in the village.

It's not that the soldiers are timid and fearful. Iron Water Village was successfully established in this location. During this period, these soldiers often fought against the elves in the south. The soldiers' combat effectiveness and spiritual will have been truly tested.

But in the face of such an outrageous existence like Arcie, they didn't have the slightest thought of resisting.

What's more, it's useless even if they have the courage, that pink monster can fly, even if they jump up with all their strength, they still can't reach each other.

David has been looking at the expressions of these people, and he has already guessed that because of Arcie's previous ferocious attack, these people have been completely frightened. It seems that there is no need to continue intimidating, and it is better to get straight to the point.

After whispering a few words to Elias, the etiquette officer nodded to show that he understood the meaning of the adults.

Therefore, Elias no longer asked who was the manager of Iron Water Village, but directly counted the crimes committed by the village chief of Iron Water Village, Ammandis, including but not limited to: rebellion, treason, robbery, etc.

The eyelids of the people in Iron Water Village twitched. Fortunately, this gentleman who didn't know his name finally changed the topic, saying that since the culprit has been executed, the kind Lord Baron Glamorgan is not going to pursue this matter anymore. .

However, Iron Water Village certainly cannot continue to exist.

this……

Wilcox didn't have the guts to question the other party's words. He just wondered what would happen to the villagers of Iron Water Village if Iron Water Village disappeared?

Fortunately, the Lord Baron of Glamorgan, after announcing that the 'illegal village' like Iron Water Village has been completely banned, the villagers are free to choose where to go.

You can go back to Iron Tree Fort... David glanced at the soldiers. These soldiers were all from Iron Tree Fort. These people were obviously not within the scope of his recruitment.

You can also go to other villages and towns on the northern plain. This choice is actually to give these people a feeling of their own choice. Really being able to choose.

Or join Cold Winter Town.

After announcing all the options, David looked at the villagers who gradually gathered in his sight. There are not many people in this iron water village. There should be more than a hundred people gathered here.

He also noticed that people from the houses in the distance were looking at this side, which meant that the population of this village was far more than the people gathered in front of him.

If these villagers can be pulled to Rindong Town, it will be one step closer to Rindong Town's population exceeding 1,000.

However, he knew that these people would definitely not go to Cold Winter Town, especially those from the Barnett family. These people were not just soldiers, but also artisans, tailors, and a large number of farmers.

The ones he could really pull away were the freedmen who came to the northern plains from Iron Tree Fort and other areas. These people only accounted for a small part of Iron Water Village's population.

You have one night to think about and pack your luggage, and you must leave this place before noon tomorrow.

Normally, David has no right to expel these villagers, after all, this is not within the territory of Cold Winter Town.

But at this moment, David was the one holding the handle of the knife. The villagers of Iron Water Village were just ingredients waiting to be processed on a group of chopping boards, and they had no room for rejection.

As for bringing everyone back to Cold Winter Town? He considered it, but gave up.

His Cold Winter Town is in a critical period of development, and he is not going to take a large group of captives back, even if these captives can provide a lot of labor, they can also be used to ask the Barnett family for ransom.

One is that there are too many people and it is difficult to arrange and manage them. The other is that he is not sure whether this behavior of plundering people will cause dissatisfaction among some partners in the village - after all, these people did not participate in the battle Ordinary civilians, forcibly brought back to Cold Winter Town, will appear to be too unjust.

The most critical factor is that David himself does not want to do this.

He always hopes that those who gather in the territory are those who really want to live in Cold Winter Town for a long time. Such people will work hard to help him develop and build Cold Winter Town, making the territory better and better.

David knew he was naive, but he decided to do it anyway.

After all, I am the master of my territory!
