Age of Empires From Scratch

Floyd doesn't know how Sean Forrest evaluates himself at this time, he is enjoying this battle.

The Vulcan cannon on the shoulder has been firing continuously for a while, although a large number of orcs have been cleared out, and there is still enough ammunition.

But after falling into a close-range melee, Floyd and two other soldiers fired another round of grenades to clean up the surrounding area, and then habitually took out their long swords and shields.

Long swords and shields are also special products of Cold Winter Town. The long sword mixed with crystal ore powder can easily penetrate the armor of orcs in battle and kill them.

It's a pity that they didn't have many chances to show off their superb sword skills, because when he took out his sword and shield, there were not many orcs left around, and the few scattered orcs started to run away.

The Quinjet fighter jets and Arcee in the sky only targeted the orcs fleeing in the direction of Winter Town and Winter Forest, and the orcs who fled in other directions were not targeted.

My lord's order, don't hunt down those escaped orcs, just make sure no orcs flee into Cold Winter Town.

Arcie's voice came from next to his ears, and Floyd immediately expressed his understanding. After making sure that there were no orcs standing around, he ordered four soldiers to clean up the battlefield to make sure that there were no orcs still alive. Forrester walks over...

David looked at the holographic image on the table in front of him, and watched the first battle between Winter Town and the orcs in full.

Also present were Eva, Laura, Helen, Gareth Stanton, Wetherby Swan, Will Turner, Elias Parker, Leonard, Sheldon, Tony, etc. a group of people.

David maintained communication with the front line the whole time, and asked Floyd to take the Mayor Sean Forester and take the Quinjet fighter provided by Tony (the one in Avengers 2) to come After seeing himself, he asked Tony to turn off the hologram in front of him.

What do you all think?

After giving the order, David looked at everyone present, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the previous war scene.

Among them, Gareth Stanton, the personal guard knight, pays more attention to this new equipment called power armor. He feels that if all members of the Winter Knights can be equipped with this weapon, then the city of Winter will soon It can become the only force on the northern plain.

And being able to command such a powerful force, can he go further? Gaining titles and becoming a true aristocrat?

Wetherby Swan lamented that there are too many powerful things in Winter Town. If Port Royal were to face this group of tall and strong orcs, it would be difficult to resist.

Now he can stay comfortably in the spacious and bright conference room, watching those powerful soldiers, with advanced weapons and equipment, slaughter those strong orcs as they like.

There is no need to worry that those orcs will have a chance to come back and threaten the town where they live.

My lord, I don't think we need to worry about these orcs at all.

As long as Tony Stark creates more power armor, even if he doesn't continue to improve and upgrade it, with the current version alone, Cold Winter Town can kill all the orcs on the northern plains.

I never worried about these orcs.

The focus of David's concern is not the orcs, but what can he get through the orcs?

Now the battle between Snowfield Fort and a large number of orcs is imminent, Frost Cold Town has given up resistance and asked us for help, so... Do you have any suggestions?

Everyone looked at each other, Laura and Helen didn't say a word, they didn't have much to say about these matters, they just watched the fun from the sidelines.

Sheldon and Leonard were discussing the performance of the power armor in low voices, as if they wanted to discuss where this power armor could be upgraded and optimized.

Tony was also not going to participate in the future development strategy of Cold Winter Town, so he also walked to the side of Leonard and the others and listened to their discussion.

Those who really care about these things are Gareth Stanton, Elias Parker, Wetherby Swan, and Will Turner, who are firmly bound to Cold Winter Town.

My lord, the threat of the orcs is aimed at the entire kingdom of Tilan. As the border guard of the kingdom of Tilan, my lord has the responsibility to take over the battle situation when necessary. Elias Parker pondered for a while, and put forward his own opinion: Especially when only the troops of Winter Town are left in the northern plains.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the etiquette officer who usually doesn't say much and has no sense of presence most of the time.

Even Leonard and Sheldon stopped discussing how to optimize and upgrade the mobile armor. After glancing at Elias, their eyes collectively turned to David.

David understands what Elias means. It is nothing more than waiting for the fall of Snowfield Castle and the destruction of the last army belonging to Iron Tree Fort in the entire northern plain. Then the town of Cold Winter will become the last army belonging to Tiran on the northern plain. Kingdom power.

As long as David leads the troops to clean up the 'invading' orcs, the entire northern plain will be under the rule of Baron Glamorgan both in fact and in law.

Iron Tree Fort will no longer have any qualifications and powers to reach out to the northern plains, and can only stay in its original territory obediently, without the possibility of further expansion.

However, this plan is tantamount to treating Snowfield Castle as an abandoned child, a victim of pure interest struggle.

The people of Snowfield Castle are innocent.

David didn't think for too long, and directly expressed his thoughts.

He is not acting for the people around him.

If the soldiers of Iron Tree Fort were to fight the orcs to death, they would not feel that there was anything wrong with sacrificing him. Fighting and sacrificing were the duties of these soldiers.

However, besides the soldiers, there are many ordinary people in Snowfield Fort. Could it be that the common people die with them?

David felt that he was not cold-blooded to such an extent. Regardless of his previous life or this life, he was not an excellent or even qualified politician, and he could not treat people as human beings.

Even though he never thought he was a good person, he didn't intend to be a villain who regards human life as nothing.

Just like just now, he could just sit back and watch the orcs kill all the people in Frost Cold Town, and then let Arcie and Floyd take action, taking Frost Cold Town into their hands.

But he still let Arcee open fire directly, saving everyone in Frost Chill Town, even if there was Sean Forrest who was against him in the crowd.

Just after David said that, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have changed insignificantly, and David could sense that several people were secretly 'relaxed'.

...

David, who realized that he had successfully passed a test, knew that if he had accepted Elias Parker's suggestion just now, maybe several people in this conference room would never see each other again.

As for now, David could feel that the eyes of several people looking at him became closer. Not only people like Laura and Tony, but even Wetherby Swan and Will showed that they didn't follow the wrong person.

It's not surprising when you think about it, after all, no one wants their 'friend' or 'leader' to be a cold-blooded guy! Some things, even if you know they are right intellectually, feel uncomfortable emotionally.

Elias didn't feel dissatisfied because his suggestion was rejected. He was just making suggestions, and it was Lord Baron Glamorgan who really made the decision, and he was very clear about this.

Then, my lord can spread the news that Cold Winter Town sent troops to repel the orcs after receiving help from Frost Cold Town, and spread the news, and properly keep an eye on Snowfield Fort, and take action when necessary.

The reason to spread the news first is to let the people of Snowfield Castle know that Cold Winter Town has the ability to defeat the orcs.

Believe it or not, this will be their last hope when Snowfield falls into crisis.

As long as there is hope, those who are in despair will try their best to catch it. Once the people in Snowfield Castle can't resist it, they will definitely ask for help from Winter Town.

At that time, David can make his debut with the troops from Cold Winter Town and take over Snowfield Fort directly and legally!

When the orcs are repelled, your lord can directly report to His Majesty the king what happened in the northern plains, and apply for the upgrade of Winter Town to Winter City.

If occupying Frost Chill Town and Snowfield Fort were just two more frontier posts for David, the temptation for him to upgrade Winter Town to Winter City would be much greater.

Leaving aside the promotion of the title and the increase of the territory, once the administrative system of Winter City is in hand, can one's golden finger be upgraded again?

Although I don't know what will happen if I upgrade again, why not upgrade if I have a chance? It's not the junk software used in the previous life, the worse it gets with the upgrade.

Just do it!

The impromptu meeting came to an end, and everyone dispersed to continue with their own affairs.

Before leaving, Tony stopped in front of David and made a joke: It seems that you will soon have to be called the Earl or even the Marquis.

I'll give you a good word!

By the way, what you said earlier that Cold Winter Town will continue to grow and develop will allow me to gain the ability to travel freely. Do you mean the improvement of the territory level?

Tony's reaction was quick, and he had noticed the change in David's expression when he heard Winter City just now, so he immediately thought of this.

That's right.

After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, Tony looked around, and after confirming that they were all 'one of his own', he asked in a 'low voice': When are you going to build the Winter Kingdom?

...

David looked at Tony speechlessly, what nonsense are you talking about? Is this something that can be said now? Even if he really has this plan, he still has to wait for various resources, especially when the population is almost full!

Ahem, don't talk nonsense, I've never thought about it that way!
