Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 236



[Chapter 236: Disguiser No.1]

While David and Aidan were studying the dungeon together, Elias Parker, who was sent by David to the capital of Tiran, also handed in the letter from Winter City.

By the way, he also went to handle the “resignation” procedures.

From then on, he was no longer the etiquette officer of Tiran’s capital, but the etiquette officer who only served the Lord of Winter, Baron David Glamorgan.

After submitting the letter, Elias Parker had nothing to do but stay in the capital to wait for the king’s reply. He had a feeling that he might have to stay in the capital for quite a while, because his Majesty King Abelson Tiran might find it difficult to make a quick decision.

In fact, this was the case.

When the letter from Winter City was submitted to Abelson of the Kingdom, his Majesty the King was a little confused.

The Northern Plains was attacked by orcs?

He had known this news not long ago. The capital of Tiran was discussing how many soldiers to send to the Northern Plains?

Just as his men were still evaluating the orcs’ fighting power, how many troops to mobilize, how much supplies and fodder to raise, and considering the intelligence that the number of orcs was large, and even now the true number of orcs was unknown, whether it was necessary to send out the kingdom’s new equipment to fight?

Before these things were discussed to a conclusion, a letter from Winter Town was placed in front of him, telling him that the threat of the northern orcs had been controlled by Baron Glamorgan of Winter Town.

At present, the latest attack of the orcs was repelled by Baron Glamorgan, who had taken over Snowfield Castle. The orcs retreated back to the east of the northern plains, and the Iron Tree Castle was also relieved of the crisis.

“So… Baron David Glamorgan has controlled the entire western part of the northern plains…”

Winter Town has expanded its influence to the line of Frost Town and Snowfield Castle, and the entire western part of the northern plains has completely become Baron Glamorgan’s territory.

The nobles of Iron Tree Castle thought they could obtain new land, but in the end, they all became Baron Glamorgan’s meal.

“Tsk~”

Abelson sighed, thinking of the young man he met at this time last year.

At that time, he hoped that David could teach those dishonest nobles of Irontree Castle a lesson, but he didn’t expect to see the results so soon.

The young man did a good job…

“But it was too good.”

In addition to reporting the situation in the northern plains, this letter was also asking for rewards from His Majesty the King.

The power of Winter Town has now expanded many times, and the territory alone has long exceeded the size of the town.

Although the population is not large, it is indeed no longer suitable to be called Winter Town.

In addition, Baron Glamorgan successfully repelled the invading aliens and guarded the territory of the Kingdom of Tilan. As a border guardian, he is undoubtedly very competent.

These merits and the increase in actual territory, etc., are combined, and promotion and rewards are justified.

But… is it too fast?

Abelson immediately threw this question aside. The most important thing now is that the orcs, a troublesome foreign enemy, have appeared in the north of the kingdom; the kingdom is also undercurrent and not peaceful;

as for the surrounding countries? Everyone is just maintaining a superficial peace. Once the Kingdom of Tilan shows any problems, those guys will pounce on it like hungry wolves and tear the Kingdom of Tilan into pieces and swallow it.

In this case, if David can develop Winter Town and stabilize the north of the kingdom, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for Abelson.

Thinking of this, Abelson has made a decision: Winter Town will be promoted to Winter City, and Lord David-Glamorgan will be promoted to Earl, and the territory will include the entire northern plains.

This information will be announced and reported to the whole country tomorrow morning, and various substantive related work will be quickly implemented: considering that the northern plains are still in a state of war, there is no need for Earl Glamorgan to come to the capital to be conferred in person.

As for the last suggestion in the letter, Abelson thought about it and decided to discuss it with his trusted ministers tomorrow to see if this proposal of forced population migration is really feasible?

Abelson, who put away the letter, began to think about more things again. He was very curious about how David, the young man, developed Winter Town to such a strong position in more than a year.

He realized that the young man might not be so simple, and he should have the support of some forces behind him!

It was unclear whether David, a rapidly rising noble, would become a helper to himself and the Kingdom of Tiran in the future, or a new threat?

At the same time, a choice that he had put aside flashed through his mind: it seemed that it was time to choose an excellent fiancé for Sophia…

While Abelson was thinking about how to deal with David, Iron Tree Castle was also discussing a similar topic.

Compared to Abelson’s discussion with the ministers, Iron Tree Castle quickly made a decision: they fully accepted the proposal made by Baron David Glamorgan, and they were willing to recognize that Snowfield Castle and Frost Town would be incorporated into the sphere of influence of Winter Town.

Farmers and craftsmen who originally belonged to the northern plains were also all classified as residents of Winter Town.

Only in terms of the army, Marquis Dudley Morgan required all of them to withdraw to Iron Tree Castle. He would exchange these soldiers for the young and middle-aged population or healthy children required by David according to the price marked by Baron David Glamorgan.

Of course, if there are soldiers who are unwilling to return to Iron Tree Castle and strongly want to stay in Winter Town, Marquis Dudley Morgan did not force them to go back. As for whether these people’s military status will be directly transferred to Winter Town, or expelled on the spot and then re-listed in the army list in Winter Town, it can be discussed at that time.

After Maddox Hawke finalized all the details, he immediately set out on the road to Winter Town.

Vanessa, who was responsible for observation throughout the process, called the Quinjet when Maddox set off, and took advantage of the night and the stealth ability of the fighter to quietly leave Iron Tree Castle. He returned to Winter Town many days ahead of Maddox and reported the situation in detail to David.

After confirming that Maddox Hawke was truly committed to Wintertown and completing all the transactions for Wintertown in Iron Tree Castle, David knew that he had another knight at his disposal.

“The information from Elias is that Wintertown will be upgraded to Winter City, which should be finalized in the next few days.”

The continuous good news made David very happy. In addition, Ratchet finally mastered the Holy Light, and Optimus Prime also reached a verbal agreement with the Decepticons. The countdown for the Decepticons to join Wintertown officially began. The

biggest problem facing Optimus Prime now is how to steal Megatron’s body without hurting his human comrades.

This problem is actually not difficult to solve. As long as David takes some time to run, he can steal Megatron’s body without alerting any guards. The Hermit Warrior is very good at sneaking in.

Moreover, David only needs to sneak into the interior, and does not need to think about how to escape with Megatron’s body. After contacting Megatron’s body, he can directly take Megatron’s body back to Wintertown.

“Before I go to your place, let’s take a look at Tony’s achievements first!”

Tony Stark spent a lot of time (several days) and finally made a battle armor that can fly to synchronous orbit.

If it is just to make a battle armor that can fly to synchronous orbit, it is not difficult for Tony. What really takes time is that he needs to add many additional functions to this battle armor.

Especially the outermost camouflage. In order to ensure that Winter Town will not be contacted when there is a problem, this battle armor is made in the style of the Evernight Empire. Finally, a dark elf’s body (a sailor who died on the battleship) will be put in it, and various physiological signals will be simulated.

On the surface, the battle armor also looks like an armor that uses dark energy. In order to make this dark energy technology look like that, Tony dismantled the dark elf assault ship.

After physical invisibility, anti-reconnaissance, surface camouflage, etc. were all ready, everyone gathered in the conference room of Fort Glamorgan, looking at the holographic image displayed on the desktop-through the various detection devices installed on the battle armor, the image in front of everyone was finally constructed, which can present everything within the detection range of the battle armor to everyone.

“Pretender No. 1, start!” Tony saw that everyone was there, and without wasting time, he introduced the various situations of Pretender No. 1 to everyone here. He

directly ordered Jarvis to start the armor and let Pretender No. 1 fly quickly to the west along the Winter River.

Through the detection device of Pretender No. 1, everyone also learned some of the situations on the west side of the Winter River. As the Pretender’s flight altitude gradually increased, David noticed that Pretender No. 1 soon flew to the outlet and saw a wider sea.

“It’s the sea!” James Norrington was the most excited. That was the real ocean he longed for, but before leading the fleet to sea, he still had a lot of work to do.

Moreover, the real mission of Pretender No. 1 was not to find an outlet!

After seeing the sea, the flight direction of Pretender No. 1 gradually adjusted to the upper side. This flight angle would allow Pretender No. 1 to fly farther and get as close to the sphere of influence of the Evernight Empire as possible.

Especially after flying to the synchronous orbit, it can also detect the western part of the continent where the Evernight Empire is located.

However, just as the Pretender 1 was about to reach the synchronous orbit, a golden beam of light suddenly appeared and hit the Pretender 1 straight, instantly blasting it into powder – the screen was interrupted.

“…”

There was silence in the conference room for two seconds. Tony had immediately cut off all contact with the Pretender 1 to avoid being tracked here.

“That golden light…if I’m not mistaken, it came from above?” Laura’s words were soon confirmed. Tony paused the screen of the Pretender 1 being destroyed and played it back frame by frame.

Everyone could clearly see that the golden light was coming from a ‘higher’ place.
