[Chapter 121 The True Man of Steel]
Mayor Sean Forrester fainted. David looked at Sean lying on the ground and curled his lips in disdain.
“Sir, what should we do next?” Floyd had been guarding David. Now the mayor of Frost Town, who was the only one qualified to talk to the baron, had fainted. Should they be responsible for waking up the mayor?
“Let’s go, our goal has been achieved.” He glanced at Sean Forrester. The young son of the earl was not pretending to faint, but was really angry and fainted. He was very angry: “Let the mayor of Frost Town have a good rest!”
“Don’t wait for the mayor to wake up before determining the border issue?”
“No need, the border has been determined, and the mayor of Frost Town already knows this.” David turned his horse around and did not deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, so the knights and soldiers of Frost Town could hear David’s words: “If you dare to ignore the signs and invade the territory of Winter Town, it will be regarded as an act of declaration of war, and then there will be no need for warning.”
This sentence is a warning to the people of Frost Town, and also a reminder to Floyd that the northeast outpost will be the key patrol area for the next patrol route.
“I understand, sir.”
With Floyd’s response, the operation ended successfully.
The northeastern border of Winter Town was established, blocking the possibility of Frost Town’s development in the southwest direction, and at the same time, it also severely stimulated Sean Forrester.
I wonder if this young son of the earl will be crazy enough to ignore David’s identity and order his men to attack Winter Town?
In his heart, David hoped that Sean Forrester would do this, so that he could reasonably annex Frost Town and drive the Forrester family out of the northern plains.
But he knew that this possibility was not great. Even if Sean Forrester’s head was burned by anger, his men would not ignore various factors, not to mention that Sean Forrester was not the head of the Forrester family at all. In addition to protecting the young man, those knights should have the duty of monitoring.
After the knights reported the situation to Earl Percy Forrester, the earl would definitely not start a war easily, especially without a suitable reason to start a war.
Unless… Earl Percy Forrester cruelly killed his son and then announced that he was angry to death by David, he could attack Winter Town under the banner of revenge for his son.
“I wonder if this Earl is so cruel?”
Riding his horse, David glanced at Laura next to him, who was also looking at him: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I suddenly feel like we have become the villain.”
“It’s interesting to play the villain occasionally, and in a sense, maybe we are really a group of villains.”
David and the Winter Town he founded are very different from this world. In order to survive and develop, they will have more irreconcilable conflicts with the local forces in this world.
For some people in this world, aren’t they and the Winter Town the villains?
“You are right.”
Laura doesn’t think that the Winter Town that David wants to build is a bad existence. If Winter Town really develops into Winter City or even Winter Kingdom, it may be a good thing for ordinary people in this world.
She has been to Iron Tree Castle and knows what this world is like; and Laura, who is a history expert, knows how difficult it is for ordinary people to live in such a social background.
In this respect, David is indeed a villain to some people, but he is also the savior of some people.
How to look at it depends on the person’s position. It is inaccurate to judge right or wrong without this point.
At the same time, Laura found that there was a topic in this world that particularly attracted her: Can a “modern person” choose a system to replace the original system with the help of some partners with various knowledge after returning to the Middle Ages?
What kind of trouble will he encounter in this process? What kind of reaction will ordinary people and those nobles have?
This topic is much more interesting than simple archaeology. After all, it is difficult to have real practical examples and obtain real feedback for such topics.
Now she has the opportunity to observe and record the whole process up close, and even participate in it personally.
Running fast all the way, everyone soon returned to Winter Town.
At this time, Will Turner has made another signboard, which will be inserted by Floyd and his men in the southeast direction of Winter Town.
In this way, in the surrounding directions, except for the Winter Forest in the north, there are signs to determine the sphere of influence of Winter Town. If someone ignores the prompt and enters this area, David and his team can choose to expel them by force or directly arrest and confiscate all their property.
Which one to choose depends on how the other party responds: if they leave obediently when warned, they will be expelled;
if they are unwilling to accept and insist on confronting Winter Town, they will of course be arrested and all their property will be confiscated, and by the way, it will be decided whether to impose some additional punishments based on the specific circumstances.
“Should we build a prison or something?”
David, with divergent thoughts, then thought about the mines in the north from the prison. Thinking about whether to go to the north in person tomorrow to install the sign representing the northern border?
Floyd felt that it seemed unnecessary to put up a special sign in the north: “There are large forests in the north, is it necessary to put up a sign?”
“Let’s plant one, so that no one can take advantage of it.” David thought for a while and felt that it was safer to plant one. Otherwise, what if someone really built a village in the forest?
In theory, the living environment in the Winter Forest would be worse because it is located further north, but the current situation is special. Maybe there will be nobles from the Iron Tree Castle who will deliberately disgust me?
Laura heard that they were going to the Winter Forest tomorrow and said that she would go with them.
“What are you going to do in the forest?”
“Will you go deeper into the Winter Forest this time? I want to see if there are any strange relics.” The last time I explored the forest with David, I encountered a strange ancient altar and a giant monster. This time I went further and might find something similar: “In addition, I want to see if I can catch a pet.”
“Have you learned how to tame a pet?”
After mastering the energy of holy light, Laura only learned how to use holy light, and did not focus on learning the skills of priests or paladins. Instead, after Fording brought a lot of information, she learned a lot of hunter skills.
“Of course, that’s not a difficult thing to learn.” As a qualified hunter, how can you not have a pet as a combat partner? Laura had wanted to catch a suitable pet for a long time, but she didn’t have a favorite target: “Compared to my world, it’s easier to find a powerful pet here.”
“Yeah, that’s what I mean.”
“You’re not a hunter.”
“I can learn!”
In reality, there are no such strict occupational restrictions. David feels that it is not difficult to learn the basic skills of various occupations in his current situation.
“Is that so…” Laura thought about it and found it interesting: “Then I will teach you?”
Seeing David’s expression of “Can you do it?”, Laura confidently shot waves.
“Don’t underestimate me. I have studied hard for a period of time and have actually used these skills in actual combat. I know better than you how to use holy light to perform those skills.”
Seeing Laura’s confidence, David chose to nod and agree. He felt that if he continued to question Laura’s hunter knowledge, he would be in trouble tonight.
Just when the two agreed that Laura would teach David how to become a hunter using holy light, a shadow suddenly appeared in the open space not far away.
“Is it Leon? Or a newcomer?” Noticing the appearance of a shadow, David and Laura were both looking forward to it. Floyd and Elias were looking into the distance. At the same time, Floyd even touched the hilt of his sword, worried that it was an enemy that suddenly appeared.
Just as David and Laura were looking forward to the shadow, they were surprised to find that the shadow kept getting bigger and even gradually turned into an off-road vehicle.
“???”
Laura turned her head and looked at David. The meaning revealed on her face was easy to understand: “What’s going on?”
David shook his head slightly. He didn’t know what was going on. It was the first time he saw such a situation. Did Winter Town allow everyone to drive over?
Floyd behind him had already drawn his weapon when he found that ‘it seemed to be a monster coming from a distance’, and was even ready to stand in front of the Baron to protect David behind him.
But he had only taken half a step when David stretched out his hand to stop him: “Wait, it may not be an enemy.”
“Maybe?” Hearing this uncertain word, Floyd did not put away his weapon, but continued to stare at the monster nervously and be cautious.
As the monster ‘gradually approached’, David and Laura also saw clearly that it was a yellow Hummer search and rescue vehicle in front of them. The
yellow-painted Hummer rescue vehicle stopped in front of the two of them, and then under David and Laura’s slightly speechless gaze, a flickering figure suddenly appeared in the empty driver’s seat.
“…”
Laura and David looked at each other, and both felt that this scene was speechless and funny. At the same time, the two of them completely let down their guard, and David even signaled to Floyd beside him that he could put away his weapons.
“Don’t worry, this guy is not an enemy…”
Then he walked forward a few steps and patted the hood of the Hummer with his hand: “No need to disguise, I know you, ambulance!”
…
PS: I saw someone asked why they are all white? This time, there will be an iron one…
