Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 154



[Chapter 154: Winter Knights]

If there is no prior warning, the other party may use the excuse of “I didn’t know that I couldn’t hunt”, so David emphasized it and gave a “warning”.

If you still come to hunt Pokémon after being warned, don’t blame him for being ruthless.

Waldo’s beautiful dream was shattered. He wanted to try harder, but before he could open his mouth, he realized that the baron in front of him would probably not discuss this matter with him.

He felt that the most important thing for him to become a relatively successful businessman was that he could distinguish the situation and not cross the line to touch the minefield.

Therefore, Waldo decisively changed the topic and stopped talking about Squirtle and Eevee. Instead, he asked what other goods Baron Glamorgan’s Winter Town needed? The next time he came, Waldo could prepare some specifically for Winter Town.

He didn’t think his caravan could make more money from Winter Town. This time he brought a lot of supplies. With the scale of Winter Town, those things were enough to use for a long time.

Waldo even considered not going north for a while, maybe he could go to the south of the kingdom. He

was thinking this in his heart, but he didn’t expect Baron Glamorgan next to him to say this directly: “It will be a long time before your caravan comes to the north again, right?”

Waldo smiled warmly and said that if Lord Glamorgan needed it, he could make a special trip for him.

“That’s not necessary. I don’t really need anything here.” David thought about it and felt that this caravan could still be used: “If you are going to other parts of the Kingdom of Tiran, you can help me buy some materials appropriately.”

“What materials does Lord Baron want?”

“Special materials such as the skin of gluttons.” David felt that Waldo himself would also resell this kind of material: “Not just gluttons, similar special materials can all be left for Winter Town. Next time I come to the northern plains, I will buy them all.”

It doesn’t mean that you don’t need this kind of thing with space ore. Whether you need it urgently or not, it’s always a good idea to have some of this kind of special materials on hand.

No one knows when they will suddenly be used.

“I understand what you mean, sir.” Waldo did understand. The Lord of Winter Town actually started to purchase various special materials. I just don’t know how much share should be left for this Lord? After

thinking for a moment, Waldo realized that the Baron of Glamorgan wanted many kinds of materials, but did not specify a certain one. It should be a simple reserve of such special materials, and there is no special demand for the time being.

In this case, he only needs to keep a part of each material. When the Lord of the Baron has a special demand, he will naturally come to him to buy that specific material.

After thinking of this, Waldo realized that he could establish a long-term trade relationship with the Lord of Winter Town. Considering that no other caravans have come to Winter Town except himself, perhaps this trade route will become his exclusive trade route.

Although it will not become rich overnight, it is better in long-term stability.

Moreover, judging from the frequent correspondence between Baron of Glamorgan and Earl Stewart, the Baron has a good relationship with Earl Stewart, and the noble connections he wants can be obtained from Earl Stewart. The

broken dream seems to be put together again!

Waldo said goodbye and left happily, and began to plan to go south directly after returning to the capital: Lord Glamorgan said that he wanted some special materials, but he specifically mentioned the skin of the gluttonous beast. This kind of magical beast is almost invisible in the Kingdom of Tiran, so it is naturally difficult to buy.

If you want to purchase in large quantities, it is better to go to the southern border town or even to the New Ailan Federation.

“It’s just right, let’s see what new products there are?”

Considering that this trip is going to be a long journey, maybe he has to expand the caravan lineup? He remembered the two young men who came to Winter Town with the caravan.

They are young, strong, and hardworking. The key is that they are cheap. It would be nice if they could stay for a long time as helpers.

He found the young men named Diogo and Marty and proposed long-term employment, but unfortunately they were rejected by the two young men.

“What a pity.”

Knowing that the other party wanted to reclaim land in Winter Town and become a self-employed farmer with land, Waldo knew that he could not persuade such people to join the caravan.

However, he did not force it. Seeing that the two young men worked hard and made a lot of money on this trip, Waldo was happy and gave them extra rewards and wished them to open up their own land as soon as possible.

“I hope that when I come to Winter Town next time, you two will have become small landowners with a lot of farmland.”

Seeing the reward, the two young men expressed their gratitude to the caravan leader very happily, and also began to look forward to the next life in Winter Town.

According to convention, the reward means that the two people leave the caravan, rest tonight, and the caravan will set off tomorrow morning and leave Winter Town. In

that case, the two of them need to find another place to stay tonight.

Fortunately, Diogo had greeted the pharmacist Cordell before, and learned one thing from the pharmacist: Winter Town will provide basic food and accommodation for farmers who come to seek refuge.

And they will distribute farm tools and seeds so that people who come to settle in Winter Town can get their own land as soon as possible.

When they heard these things, the two young men thought the pharmacist was joking. Later, they asked other people, especially those who had just arrived in Winter Town, and found out that it was all true.

So, the two young men happily started their new life in Winter Town, and David’s Winter Town had two more self-employed farmers.

At the same time, David also got some information from Eva.

“Other towns and villages are deliberately intercepting civilians coming to Winter Town?”

“Yes.” Eva was keenly aware of this situation from the two young men’s words when she was helping them register various information: “Even the caravan can’t come. If Waldo hadn’t received the goods handed over by Earl Stewart, he wouldn’t have come to us.”

David looked at the information sorted out by Eva, which clearly listed which towns and villages had intercepted. In addition to Marty and Diogo, the two newcomers who had just completed the registration, Eva also deliberately found the four people who had come to Winter Town before. After the information of several people was sorted out and classified, it

became the intelligence that David saw in front of him.

“You are worthy of being an Allied intelligence officer.” David praised, and sighed in his heart that this was Eva’s specialty!

Sitting in his own cabin, David noticed the pair of black high-heeled shoes with red soles under the small table when he looked at the information in his hand. They were shaking there, looking very naughty, as if to mean that Eva was in a good mood after being praised.

David looked at the intelligence and then looked under the table, discussing the surrounding villages with Eva.

“Do we need to ask Floyd or Gareth to take some soldiers to warn the surrounding villages?”

“No, if they want to intercept, they can intercept. If they really want to come, we can’t keep them.” Didn’t Marty and Diogo insist on walking to Winter Town?

When Eva mentioned the two knights, David remembered that he had promised to let the two recruit new soldiers before, and he didn’t know how the situation was: “Have those two selected enough new soldiers?”

“Still selecting…”

“Oh.”

He lowered his head and glanced again. Huh? Was it an illusion? Did Eva’s legs stretch a little bit?

He stretched his legs and touched them lightly, wanting to remind Eva on the opposite side: I know your legs are long, so you don’t have to show them to me.

As a result, the other party didn’t mean to retract them at all, and David suddenly felt the magic of the strange material of the top-grade magic silk, and his legs were actually sucked.

“…”

After a second of silence, David continued to discuss business while distracting himself from wrestling with Eva: “By the way, has Tirion been back recently?”

“No.”

“Remind me, next time Tirion comes back, remember to ask him to send a batch of Garand rifles and ammunition made by the dwarves of Ironforge. It would be best if you could tell me what metals the dwarves used when forging rifles, as well as the specific formula of gunpowder for the bullets.”

“Are these rifles for the new recruits?”

“Not just the new recruits… Tell Will that there is no need to make powerful small-caliber rifle bullets.” It just so happened that the original powerful rifle bullets were all used up in Azeroth: “In the future, rifles will mainly be Garand rifles produced in Ironforge.” It is

more convenient to introduce weapons from Ironforge than to let Laura buy and transport them.

Moreover, the Garand rifles made in Ironforge are much more powerful than those made on Earth. Combined with the powerful bullets produced in Winter Town, it is basically equivalent to having a semi-automatic rapid-fire cannon in everyone’s hand.

With such fierce firepower, it should be able to sweep across the northern plains, right?

David’s legs moved unconsciously a few times when he was excited, but he ended up fighting back. The two of them gradually changed from a simple wrestling match to a competition of moves.

However, both sides were cautious and did not dare to use their full strength. They even chose a more elegant way of fighting, one after another, and the movements were slow, so as not to hurt the other party.

“As for the firearms instructor, Jack Krauser can be appointed.”

Krauser has been in Winter Town for some time. After the initial adaptation, it is time to assign him some serious tasks.

It happened that Winter Town began to recruit and train new soldiers. As a former member of the special forces, Krauser naturally knew a lot of training methods.

However, he was not going to let Krauser take over the training of soldiers directly, as the training methods on Earth might not be suitable for this world. He

would go to help Floyd first and teach the soldiers about firearms.

“So, do you want to assign a formal position to Jack Krauser?”

“Firearms instructor of the Winter Knights.” The advantage of being a lord is that he can even name the troops at will.

“Okay.”

At this time, Elias, who was standing behind David, was trying his best to maintain an expression of “I didn’t see anything”…
