[Chapter 228 Taking Over Snowfield Castle]
Because of the appearance of the elves, it took Lemuir a while to notice the two wizards holding long staffs.
“There are wizards in Winter Town? More than one?”
In the eyes of the people of Iron Tree Castle, Winter Town is just a remote country town. Even though it has become the direct territory of His Majesty the King and has received town-level treatment, they did not take this so-called Winter Town seriously.
As for the lord of Winter Town, Baron David Glamorgan? He is just a lucky guy!
The nobles of Iron Tree Castle have a very consistent view of Baron Glamorgan: His Majesty the King just threw him here to disgust us.
For the sake of His Majesty the King, just ignore that guy!
The nobles of Iron Tree Castle continued their plans and divided the new cake of the Northern Plains step by step.
But no one expected that the subsequent development was completely out of their expectations.
The Northern Plains is not a new cake, it looks more like a big pit!
The villages built by the nobles are difficult to be self-sufficient. Most villages need the nobles to fill in various materials in order to continue to survive on the Northern Plains.
If that were all, it wouldn’t be too bad.
Although the Northern Plains were a little barren, the land was solid, and potatoes, a newly discovered crop, could indeed be planted and bear fruit on the Northern Plains.
Considering that planting potatoes in Iron Tree Castle could yield more food, it was okay for the harvest on the Northern Plains to be lower. At most, the size of the village and the number of residents could be strictly controlled.
As long as the land was occupied, there would always be other directions for development. The Northern Plains seemed to be a good pasture, and some nobles had already considered operating animal husbandry on the Northern Plains.
However, no one expected that the troubles on the Northern Plains were not just as simple as poor land and harsh climate.
The orcs, a barbaric race that had never been seen before, suddenly appeared on the Northern Plains, seriously threatening the safety of the people of Iron Tree Castle.
In comparison, the elves of the Iron Tree Forest were not a big deal!
From the initial cautious vigilance, to the later discovery that the number of orcs had been growing, until several villages in the eastern part of the Northern Plains were destroyed by orcs one after another, and all kinds of supplies that were not much were looted.
The nobles of Iron Tree Castle finally realized how dangerous the Northern Plains were.
However, all kinds of materials and manpower had been thrown out, and they were unwilling to give up directly. It
was not until the orc army threatened the Snowfield Castle that the nobles finally reached a consensus: no matter what, they had to repel these orcs first.
Otherwise, the orc army might not only destroy the Snowfield Castle, but the people in the Iron Tree Castle might also face the blades of the orcs.
However, after mobilizing the army to support the Snowfield Castle, the situation was still heading in a worse direction. In this situation, the people in the Snowfield Castle no longer had any hope of repelling the orc army. They only hoped that the support from the Iron Tree Castle or the Kingdom of Tilan would arrive earlier.
It was during this period that the news that Winter Town had defeated the orc army outside Frost Town began to spread inside the Snowfield Castle.
If it was half a year ago, the knights and soldiers in the Snowfield Castle or Iron Tree Castle would only treat this news as a joke.
But in recent months, the news that the Iron Water Village was easily destroyed and Winter Town was guarded by a flying dragon has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people in the Snowfield Castle have seen the “pink flying dragon” more than once.
So when the news of Winter Town defeating the orcs came, everyone chose to believe it!
This is also the reason why he strongly suggested Maddox to ask for help from Winter Town when facing a crisis and it was difficult for Iron Tree Castle and the Kingdom’s reinforcements to arrive in a short time.
However, he never thought that Winter Town’s strength was more terrifying than the rumors.
I didn’t see the pink dragon. Although I heard that Winter Town had another black dragon, no one would guess that Winter Town had more than one or two dragons.
Lemuel also guessed that the so-called dragon should be some kind of magic or alchemical product. It can not only spit out terrifying flames, but also carry more than a dozen fully armed heavy armored knights…
In comparison, Winter Town’s possession of so many heavy armored knights seems to be nothing. As for the heavy armored infantry of about a hundred people, it is no longer a shocking thing.
“Has His Majesty’s dissatisfaction with Irontree Castle reached this level?”
Winter Town has such terrifying military strength: powerful alchemy, magical creations, a large number of heavy-armored knights and heavy-armored infantry, and even mages…
He didn’t think that a young lord of civilian origin could accumulate such terrifying strength in less than two years.
The only reasonable explanation is that all of this is the support from the king!
The fundamental purpose is to suppress Irontree Castle! If it weren’t for the appearance of the orcs, the nobles of Irontree Castle might not know how terrible the existence around them was until the disaster was imminent.
“Lord Hawke’s future may not be so bad…” Sending Snowfield Castle to Baron David Glamorgan may allow Knight Maddox Hawke to get a good return, and he doesn’t have to endure the suppression from many nobles of Irontree Castle.
While looking at it, Lemuer was thinking about whether he should suggest Lord Hawke to go to Winter Town?
Lemuer, who was thinking about the future, watched the vehicles carrying soldiers start one after another. Lemuer understood that these vehicles were also products of magic or alchemy and did not need to be pulled by animals at all.
The inspector transformed into a military tactical armored vehicle, followed by an armed Humvee carrying Gareth, Krauser and several soldiers of the Winter Knights, and at the end was a troop carrier carrying the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment.
These vehicles were gradually added as the Winter Army gradually expanded. They were originally finished products shipped from the Transformers World and the Marvel Universe.
But the troop transport trucks were made by Winter Town itself.
These trucks made by the Winter Alchemy Workshop all use crystal ore engines. Although the manufacturing speed is not particularly fast and the output is not high, it is enough for the current needs of Winter Town.
As the convoy set off, Lemuel boarded the Quinjet at David’s call.
The Quinjet is very fast, and it will only take a while to get to Snowforest Castle. David will take some soldiers of the Winter Knights and arrive at Snowforest Castle first.
While taking over all the power of Snowforest Castle as soon as possible, ensure that Snowforest Castle will not be destroyed by orcs.
“Let’s go!”
The Quinjet that David and Lemuel were riding on was full of “elites”.
In addition to David, Laura, Medivh, and Sylvanas, the pilot of the fighter was Sharon Rogers.
Raynor Mograine, Sally Whitemane, and Jaina were on another Quinjet, which was piloted by Peggy Carter.
The two Quinjet flew for only a short while before they were over Snowforest.
Lemuel was even looking inside the fighter, when he suddenly realized that they had already reached Snowforest.
“So fast…”
With such a fast speed, it wouldn’t take much time to go to Irontree Castle or even to the capital of Tiran, right?
Lemuel felt that he had discovered the truth of how Winter Town could still develop rapidly despite the “siege” of countless nobles.
With such a convenient flying vehicle, both people and objects can be quickly transported and transferred. The blockade of Winter Town by the nobles of Irontree Castle was simply a joke. The
hatch at the back of the fuselage opened, and David motioned Lemuel to go out with him.
Lemuel knew that this was to show his identity and avoid misunderstandings.
Following David down the Quinjet, as expected, countless soldiers were seen around. These fully armed soldiers, holding weapons, carefully surrounded the Quinjet, and strong archers were deployed on the high ground not far away.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m Lemuir, these people are reinforcements from Winter Town!”
In fact, even if Lemuir didn’t shout the second half of the sentence, the people around him knew that the two huge metal monsters were reinforcements from Winter Town.
After all, only Winter Town had such monsters in the entire northern plains.
Although the two “new faces” that had never been seen before appeared, they were still regarded as monsters raised by Winter Town.
When Lemuir showed up, these soldiers put away their weapons and showed joy.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Maddox had told the soldiers and civilians in the Snowfield Castle that Lemuir went to Winter Town for help.
It can be said that the reinforcements from Winter Town are the main driving force for them to persevere.
Now that they saw the reinforcements from Winter Town and two “monsters” flying over, they saw hope.
David looked at the soldiers around him. The soldiers were not in a very good state. The continuous high-intensity fighting made the soldiers’ mental state very bad.
In comparison, the physical injuries were not too serious. Perhaps it was because the seriously injured soldiers could not appear here at all?
Maddox Hawke was also present. When he saw Lemuir, he came out and naturally noticed David. With Lemuir’s introduction, he knew that the young man in front of him wearing gorgeous armor was the Lord of Winter Town, Baron Glamorgan.
“Maddox Hawke, the acting commander-in-chief of Snowfield Castle and the Knight of the Iron Tree Knights.” He saluted David respectfully: “It is a great pleasure to meet you, Lord Baron Glamorgan. Everyone in Snowfield Castle expresses their sincerest gratitude for your special support.”
While greeting David, Maddox also looked curiously at the reinforcements that came down from the two giant birds one after another. He was surprised to see the wizard, the elf, and the heavily armored knight who wrapped himself tightly.
“You’re welcome, Knight Hawke…” David looked at the commander in front of him and gave him an order without treating himself as an outsider: “Introduce the current situation of Snowfield Castle.”
