[Chapter 227 Reinforcements from Winter Town]
The letter of help sent by Commander Maddox Hawke soon appeared in front of David.
David looked at the letter of help. There was not much content in it. Only a few words were used to describe the current dire situation of Snowfield Castle.
At present, there are more than 200 fully armored infantrymen left in Snowfield Castle, and these infantrymen are all injured.
There are still more than 80 of the 100 archers originally sent to support, but the bows and arrows have been consumed so much that there are few left.
The 100 knights of the Iron Tree Knights have also lost more than 30 people, and there are less than 60 who are still capable of fighting.
The reinforcements sent by Iron Tree Castle to Snowfield Castle did not seem to have suffered a large loss on the surface, but at this time, everyone was in a bad state, almost everyone was injured, and the physical and mental consumption was even greater. No one knew when the soldiers would completely collapse. As an
important fortress specially built by Iron Tree Castle on the northern plains, Snowfield Castle itself also has 100 fully armored elite infantrymen, 30 knights and 20 archers stationed, but after the arrival of the reinforcements and the official start of the war with the orcs, they have been mixed together.
In addition to the elites, a thousand auxiliary soldiers recruited from Iron Tree Castle have also been on the battlefield. The losses are even more tragic, with nearly 300 people killed.
The local farmers in Snowfield Castle, as well as the farmers and craftsmen previously recruited from surrounding villages and towns, have also been issued weapons, and women and children have also joined the logistics and support work.
In order to resist the invasion of the orcs, Snowfield Castle has mobilized all the forces it can, but now they can no longer hold on.
“My lord, Snowfield Castle urgently hopes that Lord Baron Glamorgan can support it.”
The knight in front of him is Maddox Hawke’s personal guard. Maddox can only entrust such matters to the people he trusts most. He can’t rest assured to entrust it to others.
“Don’t worry, as the lord of the Kingdom of Tilan, I will not sit idly by and watch the kingdom’s territory be occupied by a group of dirty orcs.”
David saw the content he wanted to see most in the letter. Maddox, the current commander of Snowfield Castle, said that once Baron David Glamorgan arrived at Snowfield Castle, he would hand over the command.
Once this command is in David’s hands, others can’t take it back.
With this letter for help, he can legally occupy Snow Castle and turn the entire western half of the northern plains into the territory of Winter Town.
Afterwards, he can apply to upgrade his territory from Winter Town to Winter City, and the golden finger will be upgraded again.
“What will change this time?”
He waved his hand, signaling the guard knight in front of him to go down and rest temporarily. He wanted to discuss the details of the military mobilization of Winter Town with his men.
Generally speaking, as a messenger for help, he is generally responsible for providing battlefield intelligence, and this kind of meeting will not exclude him.
But the situation in Winter Town is special. The guard also knows that Maddox Hawke asked for help from Winter Town in order to save the civilians and soldiers of Snow Castle and sacrificed his own future.
Even if Snow Castle successfully resists the attack of the orcs, and the civilians and soldiers in Snow Castle escape, Maddox Hawke himself will not have a good end.
On the surface, Iron Tree Castle will not do anything to him, but he will be excluded and marginalized in secret until he dies.
But what can be done? The guard Lemuel felt that Maddox Hawke had made the right choice. At least he had a chance to survive now.
As for the future… If he couldn’t survive, there would be no future at all.
In any case, he had successfully delivered the letter for help to Baron Glamorgan. Judging from the reaction of the Lord of Winter Town, he should help rescue Snowfield Castle.
Maddox had already delivered Snowfield Castle to the Lord of Winter Town. No Lord would miss such an opportunity!
He looked around. He had a lot of things on his mind when he came here, so he ignored the surrounding situation. It
was not until this time that he noticed that Winter Town was such a beautiful and magical city, including the Glamorgan Castle where he was. It was the first time he had seen such a bright and clean castle…
Gareth Stanton, Arcee, Krauser and others rushed to David’s office as soon as possible. They had to discuss more than just supporting and occupying Snowfield Castle.
David needed to determine the current status of all the military forces that could be mobilized in Winter Town.
“Although there are 20 new recruits among the 50 Winter Knights, the combat effectiveness of the Knights can be maintained at a certain level by virtue of their equipment advantages and the method of old and new training.”
In addition, Gareth Stanton and Floyd were officially recognized by the Holy Light not long ago, and both he and Floyd have become true Paladins.
The two who have been baptized by the Holy Light have a stronger combat effectiveness and can bring out the maximum combat effectiveness of the Blizzard Power Armor that has been optimized and finalized.
“The Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment is still using ‘traditional armor’, but with the advantages of crystal ore weapons, they have no problem dealing with ordinary orcs.”
The members of the Winter Knights used various training methods that exceeded their limits, which were inherited from the Tiran Knights.
This has extremely high requirements on the quality of the trained knights, and they must also be supplemented with various special medicinal materials to ensure that the body will not be damaged by training.
But in Winter Town, the Winter Knights, who are protected by the Holy Light, no longer need drugs and other magic and alchemy assistance, and can ignore any risks to practice beyond their limits.
This is also an important reason why the Winter Knights can quickly form combat effectiveness. Liadrin and Sally Whitemane played a huge role in the establishment of the Knights.
With Floyd and Gareth Stanton becoming true paladins, the future combat effectiveness of the Winter Knights can be further improved. The
Spartan Infantry Regiment actually used the same training method, but the Spartans started lower than the Winter Knights. The original members of the Winter Knights were excellent soldiers dug from Tiran, and their strength was beyond ordinary people. The
soldiers who were added later were mainly craftsmen from Azeroth, and these guys were not ordinary people.
The latest recruits, who were still mainly Azerothians, started one level higher than the Spartans.
Based on this situation, the Winter Knights can use power armor freely.
Otherwise, if the physical fitness is not up to standard, the power armor will not only not have a buffing effect, but will even pose a life threat to the user.
Although the operating system obtained for free from Tony Stark has made the operation of the armor much easier, at least there will be no terrible situation where the waist is twisted 180 degrees when turning around.
However, ordinary soldiers do not have the assistance of super artificial intelligence like Jarvis. If their own reaction ability is not enough, they cannot keep up with the enhanced speed and naturally cannot exert their true combat power.
Therefore, the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment currently uses traditional armor, and they will not be equipped with power armor until their own quality is improved.
“The Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment will be dispatched this time.” There are
50 members of the Winter Knights. David will bring 30 people this time. As for whether to bring a few new recruits or not, it will be decided by Gareth Stanton.
In addition, there are 10 soldiers stationed at Frost Post, which means that only 10 soldiers of the Winter Knights will be left in Winter Town.
It seems that the interior has become very empty, but it is not.
Most of the Transformers have now come to Winter Town. Even if Arcee follows him to fight the orcs, there are still a lot of Autobots stationed in Winter Town, such as Digger, Skyfire, Hot Rod, Drift, etc.
The establishment of the security brigade also ensures that there is a “human” force in Winter Town, ensuring that there will be no problems within the territory.
“James Norrington and Floyd will continue to stay in the barracks to train new recruits… Have the second batch of Spartan soldiers arrived?”
The second batch of Spartan warriors that Helen wanted to come to Winter Town have all arrived. According to Gareth’s introduction, this group of
people are learning the common language of Brunnia and undergoing the most basic physical training. After assigning the tasks of several military leaders, while Gareth was mobilizing soldiers and making preparations before departure. David called Weatherby, Eva and Elizabeth again and told them that he was going to Snowfield Castle, and that they would be the ones to look after the house during this period.
In fact, Snowfield Castle is not far away. If there is an emergency, David can transform into a Tomcat fighter and fly back with a hand of oil.
So after he casually explained a few words, he went to find someone suitable to fight with him.
He first found the inspector, a rare Transformer among the Autobots who could transform into a military vehicle. He had powerful firepower and defense, and this kind of battle was most suitable for him to play to his strengths.
In addition, Medivh and Jaina both expressed their desire to go to the front line. These people were very curious about the orcs in this world. Sylvanas even brought a spellbreaker and a ranger guard.
Together with Renault Mograine and Sally Whitemane, Winter Town attached great importance to this expedition.
This situation occurred because of the information obtained from the ruins of the dark elves. Jaina and Medivh wanted to see what kind of existence stood behind the orcs in this world.
So, when Lemur received the news that the reinforcements in Winter Town had been fully equipped and were about to set off, what he saw was this scene:
two Quinjet fighters were parked there, and dozens of knights wearing heavy armor that covered their entire bodies and looked very heavy lined up to get into the belly of the giant bird.
One hundred heavily armed infantrymen also boarded the huge wagon under command, but Lemuir did not see the animals pulling the wagon.
Baron Glamorgan, the lord of Winter Town, was wearing a gorgeous purple-gold battle armor with golden shoulders, and was talking to several elves.
Lemuir had never thought that there were elves in Winter Town, and these elves were now going to support Snowforest Castle.
This scene was a bit too magical for Lemuir, who had fought with elves countless times.
