[Chapter 206 Tony, the Truth-Telling]

Floyd didn’t know what Sean Forrester thought of him at this time. He was enjoying this battle.

The Vulcan cannon on his shoulder had been firing continuously for a while. Although it had cleared a large number of orcs and had enough ammunition.

But after falling into a close-range melee, Floyd and the other two soldiers fired another round of grenades to clean up the surroundings, and then habitually took out their long swords and shields.

Long swords and shields are also specialties of Winter Town. Long swords mixed with crystal ore powder can easily penetrate the protective gear on the orcs in battle and kill them.

It’s a pity that they didn’t have many opportunities to show their superb swordsmanship, because when he took out his sword and shield, there were not many orcs left around, and the few scattered orcs that were left began to flee in all directions.

The Quinjet and Arcee in the sky only chased and killed the orcs who fled to Winter Town and Winter Forest. The orcs who fled in other directions were not targeted.

“According to the order of the Lord, there is no need to chase after the orcs that have escaped. Just make sure that no orcs are roaming into Winter Town.”

Arcee’s voice came from his ear. Floyd immediately understood. After making sure that there were no orcs standing around, he ordered four soldiers to clean up the battlefield to make sure that there were no orcs still alive. He then walked towards Sean Forrester…

David looked at the holographic image on the table in front of him and watched the first battle between Winter Town and the orcs in its entirety.

Also present were Eva, Laura, Helen, Gareth Stanton, Weatherby Swan, Will Turner, Elias Parker, Leonard, Sheldon, Tony and a group of others.

David kept in touch with the front line throughout the whole process. After asking Floyd to bring Mayor Sean Forrester to see him in the Quinjet provided by Tony (the one in Avengers 2), he asked Tony to turn off the holographic image in front of him.

“What do you think?”

After giving the order, David looked at the people present. Everyone seemed to be still immersed in the previous war scene.

Among them, Gareth Stanton, the personal guard knight, was more concerned about this new equipment called power armor. He felt that if all members of the Winter Knights could be equipped with this weapon, then Winter Town would soon become the only force on the northern plains.

And being able to command such a powerful force, can he also go one step further? Obtain a title and join the real aristocratic class?

Weatherby Swan lamented that there were too many powerful things in Winter Town. If it was replaced by Royal Port facing the invasion of this group of tall and strong orcs, it would be difficult to resist.

Now he can stay in the spacious and bright conference room comfortably, watching those powerful soldiers, relying on advanced weapons and equipment, slaughtering those strong orcs at will.

There is no need to worry that the orcs will have a chance to turn the tables and threaten the town where they live.

“My Lord, I don’t think we need to worry about these orcs at all.”

As long as Tony Stark builds more power armor, even if it is not further improved and upgraded, Winter Town can kill all the orcs on the northern plains with the current version.

“I have never worried about these orcs.”

David’s focus is not on the orcs, but what can he get from the orcs?

“Now the battle between Snow Castle and a large number of orcs is about to break out, and Frost Town has given up resistance and asked us for help, so… do you have any suggestions?”

Everyone looked at each other. Laura and Helen did not say anything. They could not say anything about these things. They just watched the fun from the side.

Sheldon and Leonard were discussing the performance of the power armor in a low voice, as if they wanted to discuss where this power armor could be upgraded and optimized.

Tony was not going to participate in the future development strategy of Winter Town, so he also walked to Leonard and others and listened to their discussion.

The ones who really care about these things are Gareth Stanton, Elias Parker, Weatherby Swan, Will Turner, and other people who are firmly bound to Winter Town.

“My lord, the threat of the orcs is aimed at the entire Kingdom of Tiran. As the border guardian of the Kingdom of Tiran, my lord has the responsibility to take over the battle when necessary.” Elias Parker pondered for a while and put forward his own opinion: “Especially when only the troops of Winter Town are left in the Northern Plains.”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the ceremonial officer who usually doesn’t say much and has little presence most of the time.

Even Leonard and Sheldon didn’t discuss how to optimize and upgrade the mobile armor. After looking at Elias, their eyes turned to David.

David understood what Elias meant. It was nothing more than waiting until the Snowfield Castle fell and the last army belonging to the Iron Tree Castle in the entire Northern Plains was eliminated, then Winter Town would become the last force belonging to the Kingdom of Tiran on the Northern Plains.

As long as David led the troops to clear out the “invading” orcs, the entire Northern Plains would be ruled by Baron Glamorgan in fact and law.

Iron Tree Castle will no longer have any qualifications or power to reach out to the Northern Plains, and can only stay in its original territory honestly, without the possibility of further expansion.

However, this plan is equivalent to treating Snow Plain Castle as a discarded pawn, a pure sacrifice of interest struggle.

“The people of Snow Plain Castle are innocent.”

David did not think too long and directly expressed his thoughts.

He wasn’t acting for the people around him.

If the soldiers of Iron Tree Castle were to fight the orcs to death, he wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with their sacrifice. Fighting and sacrificing were the duties of these soldiers.

But in addition to the soldiers, there were many ordinary people in Snowfield Castle. Would they let the people die with him?

David felt that he was not so cold-blooded. Whether in his past life or this life, he was not an excellent or even qualified politician,

and he could not treat people as if they were not human. Even though he never thought he was a good person, he didn’t intend to be a bad person who regarded human life as worthless.

Just like just now, he could have watched the orcs kill all the people in Frost Town, and then let Arcee and Floyd take action and take Frost Town into their hands.

But he still let Arcee open fire directly and saved everyone in Frost Town, even though there was a person in the crowd who didn’t get along with him, Sean Forrester.

Just after David said that, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have changed slightly. David could sense that several people secretly “breathe a sigh of relief”.

“…”

David realized that he had successfully “passed a test” and knew that if he had accepted Elias Parker’s advice just now, perhaps several people in this conference room would never see each other again. As for

now, David could feel that several people looked at him more intimately. Not only Laura and Tony, but even Weatherby Swan and Will had the same expression as if they had followed the right person. It’s not

surprising to think about it, after all, no one wants their “friend” or “leader” to be a cold-blooded guy! Some things, even if you know they are right rationally, will make you feel uncomfortable emotionally.

Elias was not dissatisfied with his suggestion being rejected. He just made a suggestion, and the real decision was made by Lord Glamorgan, and he was very clear about this.

“Then, Lord, you can spread the news that Winter Town sent troops to repel the orcs after receiving the help from Frost Town, and keep an eye on Snow Castle appropriately, and take action when necessary.”

Spreading the news first is to let the people of Snow Castle know that Winter Town has the ability to defeat the orcs.

Whether they believe it or not, when Snow Castle is in crisis, this will become their last hope.

As long as there is hope, people who are in despair will try every means to seize it. Once the people of Snowfield Castle can’t resist, they will definitely ask for help from Winter Town.

At that time, David can make a brilliant appearance with the troops of Winter Town and directly take over Snowfield Castle in a reasonable and legal manner!

“After repelling the orcs, you can directly report to His Majesty the King what happened here in the northern plains, and apply to upgrade Winter Town to Winter City.”

If occupying Frost Town and Snowfield Castle is just two more frontier outposts for David, the upgrade of Winter Town to Winter City is much more tempting to him.

Let’s not talk about the promotion of the title and the increase of the territory. Once the administrative establishment of Winter City is in hand, can my gold finger be upgraded again?

Although I don’t know what changes will be made by upgrading again, why not upgrade it if there is a chance? It’s not the garbage software used in the previous life, the more it is upgraded, the worse it gets.

“Let’s do it!”

The temporary meeting was declared over, and everyone dispersed to continue to do their own things.

Before leaving, Tony stopped in front of David and made a joke: “It seems that I will have to call you Earl or even Marquis soon.”

“Good luck!”

“By the way, you said that Winter Town will continue to grow and develop, so that I can have the ability to travel freely. Are you referring to the improvement of the territory level?”

Tony reacted quickly, and he noticed the change in David’s expression when he heard about Winter City, so he immediately thought of this.

“That’s right.”

After getting the other party’s affirmative answer, Tony looked around and confirmed that they were all “his own people”, then he asked in a “low voice”: “When are you going to establish the Winter Kingdom?”

“…”

David looked at Tony speechlessly. What big truth are you talking about? Is this something he can say now? Even if he really has this plan, he has to wait until all kinds of resources, especially the population, are accumulated!

“Ahem, don’t talk nonsense, I have never thought about it!”
