[Chapter 161 Super Talent for Firearms]
The new immigrants are dissatisfied. There are only a few solutions for these villages: buy enough food from Iron Tree Fort. There are at least a dozen new villages in the entire northern plains. If everyone buys food together, the price of food in Iron Tree Fort will rise.
By then, the nobles who are not rich enough will probably not be able to afford it.
And these new immigrants who have come to the north from a long distance are not honest civilians who live in peace and contentment. These people are not satisfied with their original poor life, so they left their homes and ran here. They live
worse than before in the northern plains. How can these “not so honest” farmers tolerate it? At that time, various conflicts will definitely break out in these villages.
In order to divert conflicts, conflicts between villages are also likely to occur. The big fish eat the small fish has always been the most common phenomenon in nature. The powerful nobles are likely to ensure the stability of their own villages by robbing the resources of the weak nobles.
“That is to say, if we do nothing, the surrounding villages may fight each other?”
After hearing David’s words, Eva and Laura were a little surprised. After listening to David’s analysis, they knew that the situation of the villages on the northern plains would be very difficult, but would it really develop to that extent?
“If we don’t do that, then we have no choice but to give up and pack up and leave the northern plains immediately. As for those farmers, let them go wherever they want…” In David’s opinion, this is the most correct choice, but how many people would choose to give up when faced with a choice?
Countless examples, including David himself, have proved that even if the parties know that giving up is the right thing to do, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are unwilling to make this choice.
Because giving up means that all the previous investment has gone down the drain, and they are unwilling to bear this loss.
“So, you hope that before autumn, Winter Town will complete the reorganization of the army, equipment manufacturing, and ammunition storage, and hope that everyone can finish the things at hand before autumn?”
While several people were talking, people passed by from time to time, such as Sylvanas and Liadrin, who stopped by and listened to the conversation between David, Laura, and Eva.
The two high elves had just been listening, but now they interrupted: “They also asked me to help teach Addis and Klausa, to ensure that the two learn hunter skills as soon as possible and become qualified rangers.”
The Royal Guard Knights also learned the Holy Light. If everything goes well, the combat effectiveness of Winter Town will be greatly improved in the fall.
“Are you worried that the surrounding villages will attack Winter Town in a critical situation?”
“Yes.”
Sylvanas was right. David was indeed preparing for the war that might break out in the fall, including his own desire to go to the Transformers world to obtain the flying form, which was also for this reason.
“Isn’t Winter Town the king’s territory? Attacking Winter Town will cause a lot of trouble, right?”
“When you are desperate, you won’t worry so much.”
At the beginning, these villages would not set their sights on Winter Town, especially when there were other soft persimmons around them.
But with the arrival of winter, food shortages, and no suitable looting targets around, some people will definitely choose to take risks.
“Moreover, those who ran out to rob were not necessarily the nobles. It is not impossible for some refugees who could not survive to turn into bandits.”
Several people suddenly realized that they had indeed ignored these civilian farmers who were forced into a corner.
Of course, these refugees and bandits could not pose a threat to Winter Town. David just wanted to reduce the damage as much as possible.
Strong military force can not only protect Winter Town from spending this winter safely, but also become a strong deterrent to refugees and bandits, forcing them to give up the option of using force and accept David’s suggestions: such as becoming civilians in Winter Town.
This involves another item in David’s plan for the fall: absorbing the villagers who fled from the surrounding villages and towns. With
strong military force, sufficient food and clothing, and housing that can ensure that ordinary people can survive the cold winter, this winter will become a critical period for the development of Winter Town.
“Oh~”
Everyone nodded in unison, and completely understood David’s plan.
It is not complicated, just wait for civil unrest and conflict in the surrounding villages and towns, and then Winter Town will pick up the bargain on the side.
“It seems that the construction of Winter Town is a bit slow now.”
After understanding David’s idea, Laura looked at the various projects recorded in the notebook and knew which of them were the key points.
“So, I want to see if I can bring the Digger team to Winter Town.” Digger is a infrastructure maniac among Cybertronians, and his contribution to the construction and development of the city is very huge, so David is so concerned about it.
“So, you must go to that world.”
“Yes.”
“Then have fun.” Laura was not going to go with David. She had already set her own plan and goal, which was the Caribbean world where Will Turner lived.
She didn’t have to worry about David’s safety. With David’s current strength, there should be no danger in that world.
“Would you like to go on an adventure with Will?” In comparison, Laura has been getting along well with Sylvanas recently, and this time she is also going to team up with this high elf ranger.
Sylvanas did not refuse. She was also curious about another world, so she quickly agreed.
Liadrin didn’t have the idea of running around. She asked David one thing: “When Winter Town is officially built, can I build a Holy Light Church here?”
“Ah?”
David was stunned. Did Liadrin mean to stay in Brunnia and develop followers of the Holy Light in this world? After thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to refuse. The teachings of the Church of the Holy Light were still correct, and there was no extreme thought.
“Of course.”
After chatting for a few words and putting away the notebook, David prepared to practice shooting.
Laura and Sylvanas were traveling with him, and Eva was learning Holy Light knowledge from Liadrin.
Unexpectedly, he met Steve and Peggy at the shooting range. Seeing the smiles on their faces, David suddenly realized that the relationship between the two could no longer be described as familiar strangers.
“Ha! Steve, I caught you!” While Laura, Sylvanas and Peggy were greeting each other, David whispered to Steve. He wondered why Steve suddenly came to his senses: “Don’t worry about the fact that the Peggy in the parallel world is not your Peggy?”
“Because I find this kind of entanglement is meaningless and will only waste precious opportunities.” Steve glanced at David, and then at Peggy not far away. When his eyes met hers, he did not think of retracting his gaze and continued to look at her firmly: “Especially after learning magic knowledge from Master Gu Yi, I understand a lot.”
David understood when he heard this: “Did Gu Yi tell you that future?”
“Yes, I even saw it with my own eyes.” After Steve became the designated successor to the Supreme Sorcerer, the Eye of Agamotto, that is, the Time Stone, would naturally not be kept secret from him.
What’s more, jumping around and observing the timeline is what the Supreme Sorcerer is good at. If you want to become the Supreme Sorcerer, you must master this artifact.
And Steve, who knows his future, will naturally not worry about whether this Peggy is not that Peggy. Originally, he would go to find “another Peggy” in the future.
For the parties involved, as long as both parties are willing and don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. After all, whether the shoes fit or not is something that only they know.
Now it seems that Captain Carter of Winter Town doesn’t care about that kind of thing in his heart, so the relationship between the two has developed rapidly.
“Compared to that, I’m more worried about Sharon…”
“What’s wrong with Sharon?”
“Maybe she has a weird feeling about me and Peggy being together.”
David suddenly realized that for Sharon, Steve and Peggy in front of her would make her feel a weird feeling: “Is it my mother who cheated? Or is it my father who cheated?”
Although in fact, these two are not even her parents, they can only be regarded as parallel universe isotopes.
“She will figure it out, it just takes some time.”
Steve nodded, and no longer entangled in this matter, but just complained to David a few words, “You all know my future, but you didn’t tell me!”
David dismissed it with “Who told you not to ask”.
Several people continued to practice shooting. Perhaps because of her unusually smooth mind recently, Peggy also came over to teach David how to shoot and helped correct some of his bad shooting habits.
Although he often carried a gun around, David’s gun shooting was mainly practiced by himself and he had not received any “formal” teaching.
In addition, Peggy herself was a shooting expert and could even use a small pistol to accurately shoot at a moving target from a long distance.
David believed that after Peggy’s guidance, his shooting level would be further improved.
Then, he felt what it meant to have a significant improvement in shooting level. Looking at the bull’s eye in the distance being ravaged by his piano pistol, he felt a little strange.
“Peggy’s guidance is so effective?”
The next second he realized what was going on. It was not that Peggy’s guidance was good, but that Peggy had a good shooting talent!
After coming to Winter Town for a long time, he finally got a reward from Peggy.
This time, he should have a talent in gun shooting.
“…”
He emptied another ordinary magazine. The .45 caliber piano pistol only has twelve rounds in a standard ordinary magazine. This is why David hopes to make a batch of extended-capacity magazines.
After removing the empty magazine, David did not continue to practice shooting, but thought about the issue of talent rewards.
“It’s not surprising that Peggy provided the reward, after all, Peggy and I are relatively unfamiliar. But my relationship with Laura is so good, but I haven’t triggered more rewards. Or have I actually gotten it, but I haven’t figured out what it is?”
