Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 205



[Chapter 205: Initial Show of Strength]

Sean Forrester soon no longer had to worry about whether to ask for help from Winter Town, because the orcs gave him a clear answer.

Seeing the farmland that his town had reclaimed with great difficulty being occupied by the orcs, and the potatoes, which were the most important harvest before winter, being harvested by the orcs, Sean Forrester knew that even if they could defend Frost Town, they would never survive this winter.

Unlike other towns and villages, Frost Town was established relatively early and knew how difficult the winter in the northern plains was.

In this situation, not only was there a lack of a lot of reserve food for the winter, but even the support from the family could not be delivered.

“Retreat!”

Knight Pratt looked at Sean Forrester. He was really worried about the son of the Forrester family, and in excitement he ordered a fight with the orcs.

He didn’t care if he died here, but Sean Forrester must not die here.

“My Lord, retreat towards Winter Town. I will bring the soldiers to buy you some time.”

Sean Forrester sighed painfully and finally said, “Retreat!”

As soon as the order came out, Sean Forrester suddenly felt much more relaxed. He suddenly realized that as long as he didn’t bother about those things, retreat was the most correct choice at this time.

The people in Frost Town were very active, or in other words, since they learned that a large number of orcs were approaching Frost Town, these people had been ready to flee here at any time. As soon as

Sean Forrester’s official order came down, the residents of Frost Town immediately picked up their packages and prepared to run away with the mayor.

Next, everyone could only pray that the orcs would continue to be busy harvesting the farmland and ignore these people who were fleeing.

Unfortunately, their prayers did not work. Although the orcs were harvesting crops in the farmland, they were not going to let this group of humans go.

Just as the residents of Frost Town were moving towards Winter Town, a group of orc soldiers had already rushed over with a howl.

Then, under the desperate gaze of Frostbite Town, they were blasted into pulp by the sudden attack from the air.

“It’s the flying dragon of Winter Town!”

The residents of Frostbite Town looked up and immediately saw the pink flying in the sky. It was the pink flying dragon (pink monster) from Winter Town that they were most familiar with.

In the past, it was the existence they feared the most.

But today, it is their hope for survival.

Watching the pink flying dragon with a strange roar circling in the air for a few times, and then throwing a few flaming iron rods at another group of orcs who pounced on them, and then after the deafening explosion, some orcs completely merged with the earth.

Frostbite Town, including Sean Forrester, breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sean Forrester was in the mood to think about the pink flying dragon of Winter Town, why did it save them?

“My lord, we are already standing in the territory of Winter Town.” Pratt saw Sean’s doubts at a glance and reminded his mayor in a low voice.

Sean Forrest followed Pratt’s instructions and looked to the side, only to find that they were already standing next to the sign that said “Welcome to Winter Town”.

According to Winter Town’s statement, the land they were standing on belonged to Winter Town’s territory!

Even though this territory was next to Frost Town, people in Frost Town might not pay attention and walk a little further to relieve themselves, and they might be warned or even arrested for peeing in Winter Town’s territory.

This behavior, which he had scolded countless times as “shameless! Shameless!”, became his life-saving straw at this moment, which made Sean not know how to react for a while.

Just when he was feeling fortunate and speechless, a roar different from that of the pink flying dragon came from his head.

Looking up, he found that a giant iron-gray bird had come to the top of his head and was just floating above.

“That’s… How many monsters are there in Winter Town?”

They had never seen this giant bird before. Sean knew that in addition to the pink monster, there was also a black monster in Winter Town, but the one on his head was not black, and its appearance was different from what was described in the rumors.

Floyd didn’t know what Sean Forrester was thinking. He was wearing the latest power armor made in Winter Town and stood in front of the open cabin door of the Quinjet. After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to jump down.

Floyd, wearing heavy armor, fell very fast, but at the same time as he jumped out of the cabin door, the thrusters on his back were already started, instantly slowing down his falling speed and allowing him to stand steadily on the ground.

Even so, Floyd’s appearance caused a huge impact on the group of people in front of him, especially Floyd was not the only one who jumped down from the air. There were also two soldiers who were also wearing heavy armor.

Boom! Boom!

The three people made a lot of noise when they landed. Sean Forrester, who was standing not far in front, could even feel the vibration from the ground.

Floyd, who was wearing power armor, didn’t feel anything. He felt that he stood very steadily when he landed, and there was no huge recoil on his feet. This was completely different from the feeling of jumping off a horse in heavy armor in the past. It was almost like stepping down from a step that was less than a palm high.

“This thing is really good!”

He gave a thumbs up to the power armor on his body. Floyd took two steps to the front of Sean Forrester and warned the mayor of Frost Town: “You have invaded the territory of Winter Town. Please make your intentions clear, Mayor Sean Forrester.”

Sean Forrester felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him. As long as he was not blind, he would know what was going on in his current situation, right?

However, he was still a person who understood the “rules” after all, and understood that the other party was actually doing a routine job, so he answered the other party’s question honestly: “Frost Town was attacked by orcs, and I had to lead the residents of Frost Town to take refuge in Winter Town.”

Then, Sean Forrester, as the mayor of Frost Town, formally sent a rescue request to the Lord of Winter Town, Baron David Glamorgan, hoping that the great border guardian of the Kingdom of Tilan, the Lord of Winter Town, Baron David Glamorgan, could lend a hand to Frost Town.

“I already know your intention, and I will personally escort you to meet the Lord later.”

Floyd was indeed asking a routine question. After answering Sean Forrester, Floyd directly commanded the two soldiers behind him to prepare to meet the enemy. After

Arcee successively eliminated two groups of orcs in the air, she did not let the group of orcs retreat, but instead aroused the ferocity of the group of orcs.

They looked at the two monsters in the air and the large number of humans not far away with fierce eyes, and decided to stop harvesting crops temporarily, but to eliminate these humans first.

A strong orc roared loudly in a language that humans could not understand, and the orcs immediately began to assemble and line up. Finally, more than 400 orcs roared and rushed towards Floyd

and his men. Floyd noticed that some orcs riding giant wolves were outflanking him and his men from both wings. The movement route of one of the wolf cavalry was obviously to cut off their retreat and prevent them from escaping.

“Tsk!”

If it had been a while earlier, facing such a bad battle situation, Floyd felt that all he could do was to fight with all his strength until the moment he lost his life.

Now he would not think so!

“Don’t worry about those cavalry, eliminate the group of orcs in front of you!”

Floyd gave orders to the two soldiers beside him. At the same time, the Quinjet in the air continued to fly forward for a while, ignoring the arrows shot by the orcs, as well as the spears, flying axes and other messy things thrown by the orcs.

Two more soldiers were released from the hatch at the rear, and thrown straight into the core area of the orc team.

The two soldiers in mobile armor were different from Floyd’s previous situation. Their back thrusters allowed them to float in the air for a moment, and several iron lumps flew out of their shoulders.

These iron lumps scattered among the orcs below and exploded into gorgeous fireworks one after another. In the blink of an eye, a piece of open space was cleared and the orcs’ charge formation was destroyed.

“Attack!”

Floyd waved his hand and rushed towards the orcs with two soldiers beside him holding rifles. The shoulders of the three people kept throwing iron lumps, and Floyd’s power armor was also equipped with a six-barreled Vulcan cannon, which hummed and spewed out long flames, instantly cutting down a group of orcs…

Sean Forrester and Knight Pratt stood not far away, staring blankly at the soldiers of Winter Town fighting the orcs.

The number of soldiers participating in the battle on both sides was so different that nearly 500 orcs against five people!

“How is this possible?”

Even if the soldiers of Winter Town were very powerful and had those strange weapons, they could still overwhelm these people with their numbers, right?

However, the scene that Pratt had expected did not happen. He keenly noticed that even if the weapons of the orcs hit those soldiers, they could not affect them.

The armor on their bodies, except for emitting some light, could not cause any damage to the soldiers of Winter Town.

“By the way, those cavalrymen…”

Turning his head to look at the wolf cavalrymen of the orcs, he found that those cavalrymen had already turned into broken limbs and arms scattered on the ground not far away, and the pink flying dragon was whistling above, as if mocking these orcs for their bad brains!

At the same time, the iron-gray monster that had put down five soldiers in a row was also spraying long tongues of fire, constantly cutting the orcs on the ground into pieces.

“…”

Looking at all this, Sean Forrester felt extremely fortunate: Fortunately, he did not launch an attack on Winter Town in a rush.

Even without mentioning the pink flying dragon in the sky, the fifty men under his command were not enough for a soldier from Winter Town to kill!
