Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 203



[Chapter 203 Power Armor]

It took him several years to build Winter Town.

Now everything in Winter Town is beautiful. He doesn’t want orcs to come and destroy it. Even if they just dirty the smooth and clean roads with mud, he can’t accept it.

Therefore, it is best to eliminate this threat before the orcs enter the sphere of influence of Winter Town.

Looking at the picture projected by Arcee, David estimated the situation.

He didn’t think these orcs could really threaten him. He estimated how much ammunition he would need? And with Winter Town’s current “projection ability”, can these guys be quickly cleared?

After estimating, he felt that if he wanted to clear the orcs safely and quickly, the safest solution was to pull the Lordaeron Artillery Regiment over. At that time, let alone these 10,000 orcs, even if there were several times more, they would never set foot on the territory of Winter Town.

“Too exaggerated, it shouldn’t be used…”

David has always hoped that his power will develop steadily and that he can solve the troubles encountered in this world with the power at his hand.

He kept all the requests for support from other worlds as a trump card, and would not use it until the critical moment.

Although keeping a trump card is like fattening a serialized online novel, it is easy to grow it into waste or even die, but he still did not intend to change his habit.

“Is Tony still in the town?” David withdrew his thoughts and thought about it for a while. He had made a decision.

“Mr. Stark is testing various equipment in his experiments.”

Eva has been keeping an eye on the situation of the people in the town. She would go around almost every day to confirm whether these people are in the town and what they are doing? To ensure that when David wants to find someone, she can give a clear answer in the first time.

This is not an easy job, especially as Winter Town is getting bigger and bigger and more and more people come to the town. Eva now has to spend some time every day to confirm the situation of everyone.

Fortunately, David appointed Weatherby Swan as the political officer, sharing a large part of the work that Eva was originally responsible for.

“That’s right. I’ll go see if his laboratory can meet my requirements.”

Then he gave several orders to the military leaders beside him: increase the frequency of patrols to ensure that no orcs will bypass Snowfield Castle and run to the territory of Winter Town.

In addition to Arcee’s frequent air patrols, the Black Hawk helicopter and Harrier fighter jets cannot be left there to collect dust, and they must take off frequently to perform reconnaissance missions.

“But, at present, only Jack Krauser in the Knights can safely take off and land the Black Hawk helicopter.”

When it comes to flying a plane, Gareth and Floyd are very depressed. They are very troubled by the various instruments and data on the plane. Now they can only barely remember the functions of these things, but they can make the plane fly successfully.

As for landing…

“That’s why I want you to do more flying practice. Flying a plane is actually similar to driving a car. You need to practice hard to really master it.”

Although the two knights feel that driving a car on the ground and flying a plane in the sky are not at the same level in terms of technology and psychological quality.

But the lord has already spoken, as subordinates, can they continue to make excuses?

There is nothing more to say. The next flying course will definitely be the focus of study for the thirty soldiers of the Winter Knights.

Floyd was a little relieved when he thought of this.

Lord Glamorgan had mentioned before that there would be about a hundred additional recruits sent to him for training. In addition, he had mentioned before that he would recruit a group of new recruits from the civilians who had just arrived in Winter Town.

He would be busy training the new recruits, so he could train them to avoid this round of flying training.

Floyd, who was very happy, and Gareth, who was constantly thinking about how to arrange the pilots next, left Glamorgan Castle one after another.

Jack Krauser was left behind by David and taken to Tony Stark’s laboratory in Winter Town.

It was called a laboratory, but it actually looked like a luxurious manor from the outside. Tony Stark directly built it into his residence in Winter Town, and did experiments and research by the way.

The manor is located deep in the Winter Forest north of Winter Town, norther than the water plant, and is currently the northernmost building in Winter Town.

The advantage of being here is that it is surrounded by dense forests. The tall and huge trees form a natural wall, which makes the manor well hidden. Even if you stand on the roof of Castle Glamorgan, it is difficult to directly see Tony’s Stark Manor.

In addition, the location is remote and will not be disturbed by ordinary people. Everything meets Tony’s requirements.

“Why did you suddenly come to me? I remember you have no interest in these things.”

Previously, when I invited David to go to the Avengers Building, David did not follow me to visit the laboratory, but took several women to wander around.

At that moment, Tony Stark suddenly realized that his previous judgment was wrong. David was not the same as himself – this guy was much worse than himself!

But joking aside, Tony knew that David would suddenly come here to find him, and there must be something important, so he asked David again about his real intention.

“I want to confirm, can you produce Iron Man armor here now?”

“Iron Man armor?” Tony looked at David with doubtful eyes: “You don’t want my Iron Man armor technology, do you?”

“I do have a similar idea.”

David still adhered to his usual style and stated his intention directly.

Tony didn’t expect David to be so direct, and he didn’t even have the intention to cover up.

This straightforward and frank attitude made him less suspicious in his heart, and he also realized that David could transform into a Cybertronian. He himself was a combat machine more powerful than Iron Man armor, so it was definitely not that he wanted to use his own invention.

In other words, David wanted to arm some people with Iron Man armor? Why did he suddenly have this idea?

The smart brain immediately provided him with several answers, and Tony quickly found the correct one.

“Who is Wintertown going to go to war with? Is there a force that wants to invade Wintertown?”

Tony has analyzed David’s personality and style of doing things. He is sure that David is taking a steady and cautious approach in managing his territory, rather than blindly expanding.

With the current population and composition of Wintertown, plus David’s past style of doing things, he is definitely not going to take the initiative to start a foreign war.

Wintertown has not really digested all the land it has encircled, so there is no need for him to continue expanding. Even if David wants to take over the entire northern plains as soon as possible, he must at least recruit and train more soldiers.

Otherwise, how much land can the thirty people of the Winter Knights occupy?

Therefore, the truth is very clear. Someone is going to attack Wintertown. David wants to quickly improve his military strength. The simplest and most direct way is, of course, to upgrade his equipment.

“Do you need me to call some friends to help?”

“Not yet.”

David briefly described the situation of the orcs, and Tony knew that these things had happened to the east of Wintertown.

“Although I have known that your place is not so peaceful, I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing so soon.” Tony understood why David wanted to ask if he could produce iron armor: “So, you want me to help you make a batch of iron armor to arm your thirty knights?”

“Currently there are thirty, but it will increase soon… In addition, I don’t need the kind of iron armor you usually use.”

Tony Stark’s iron armor has a high technological content, and it integrates a lot of black technology. He often uses general models to deal with various situations.

But this is not what David wants. What he wants is very simple: a firepower carrying platform for a single soldier!

“Oh, this is really… a rough idea.” Tony first complained about David’s plan, and then expressed his understanding of David’s choice: “The power armor you mentioned is not difficult to make.”

In fact, even without Tony Stark, as long as David mobilizes all the technologies currently mastered by Winter Town, including alchemy, crystal ore energy supply, space storage, etc., he can also make something similar.

However, Tony Stark has mature related technologies and sufficient experience and knowledge in the manufacture and use of Iron Man armor.

In other words, he has a relatively mature framework in his hands. It is easier and more time-saving to modify and add new things to it than to slowly build a new framework.

“Tell me what you want for this kind of armor?” Tony led David all the way to his laboratory and started the holographic imaging workbench, preparing to design the kind of power armor that David wanted.

At this time, David noticed that Sheldon, Leonard and others were also here. When they saw David coming, they came up to say hello. Then they also knew that David came here to ask Tony Stark to help make power armor for his Winter Knights.

“You want to make power armor for the Knights?”

“Yes!” David noticed that Sheldon’s voice was a little trembling. He had seen this performance several times, which meant that Sheldon was in a very excited state.

“Oh, damn~” Sheldon turned around and ran to the side, holding his laptop over. After a few quick operations, he turned the monitor to David and smiled as if he was going to plot against Batman: “I strongly recommend the Thor’s Hammer Power Armor to you, Lord Baron Glamorgan!”

David looked at Sheldon, then at Leonard and others who were also looking forward to it, then turned to Tony: “Can you build this thing?”

Tony: “…”
