Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 241



[Chapter 241: Two Years of Results]

It is winter again, but this year’s winter in the northern plains is a little different from last year. There is no blizzard that covered the entire plain and turned it into a snowy plain. It is simply cold.

This dry and cold climate, coupled with the whistling wind, gives people a feeling of being cut by a blade.

When the people of Snow Plain Castle were asked to move to Winter Town, they were still worried about whether Winter Town could provide them with warm enough accommodation.

After all, with so many people relocated at once, no town would normally prepare so many vacant accommodations, right? They don’t want to be frozen to death.

This worry became more and more serious as the cold wind kept blowing on them, until they arrived at Winter Town.

Clean streets, solid and warm houses like summer, in just less than a day, these new people fell in love with this city.

They suddenly felt very fortunate that they could become citizens of Winter Town!

Although this house is currently only “rented” to them, after the winter is over, these new citizens must find a way to repay the rental fee.

However, the favorable living environment of Winter Town and the large uncultivated wasteland around it made the newcomers to Winter Town look forward to the future again.

“The changes here are really big!” Fording has been a little free recently, so when he came to Winter Town on a routine basis, he did not rush back to Azeroth, but expressed his desire to take a good look around the current Winter Town.

In his own words, if he didn’t take a good look around, maybe he wouldn’t even be able to find David next time.

Fording had this idea, and David was of course willing to accompany him.

It just so happened that he could take the opportunity to familiarize himself with his territory: “Speaking of which, I haven’t taken a good look around my territory for a while.”

The Decepticons and Autobots are still migrating steadily. The basic framework of the military camps and living areas provided for the Cybertronians has been completed, and the subsequent internal construction and renovation can be completed by themselves.

The Decepticons who had just arrived in Winter Town had already begun to establish merits for Winter Town: although the orcs outside the Snow Castle were defeated, the orcs had no intention of retreating directly. Arcee discovered during reconnaissance that the orcs had built a sentry castle to the east of the Snow Castle, and seemed to be ready for a long-term confrontation with them.

Seeing this situation, the Decepticons Lightning and Smash, who had just arrived in Winter Town, directly blew up the fortress that the orcs had just built into ruins.

These two Decepticons are very rare three-changers, and they have extremely strong combat power.

The arrival of the two Decepticons also relieved Arcee’s work pressure. She no longer had to fly patrols many times every day, and she no longer had to shoulder a lot of tasks such as patrolling, support, and ground strikes.

Correspondingly, David also had less work pressure. Now he is waiting for Elias’s return in Winter Town, and is also ready to welcome Earl Sutton-Stewart, the kingdom’s envoy, and Princess Sofia.

“Speaking of that princess…” Fording glanced at David, and then at Laura, who was accompanying him to visit the current environment of Winter Town: “How are you going to deal with it?”

“Just like replying to the Forrest Family.”

“I think things are probably not that simple.”

The king wants to marry his daughter to you, and he directly puts his daughter in the reward envoy group to send her here. Can you refuse it just because you want to? “

Maybe I don’t need to take the initiative to refuse.” David has an inexplicable confidence in this: “When Princess Sofia comes to Winter Town and sees the situation here, she probably won’t want to marry me.”

“…” Fording didn’t react to what David meant at first? After thinking for a few seconds, he realized that David might have made a plan to show his worst side, so that the princess would dislike him and be unwilling to marry Winter Town.

Come to think of it, this method seems to have a good chance of success, but it’s a bit ridiculous.

“Aren’t you afraid of angering King Tiran because of this? And then being retaliated by the king?”

“No.”

As David drove the open jeep to the Winter Camp, Fording also understood why David had such confidence.

The military camp, which had been expanded countless times, was bustling with activity. Not only were some of the Winter Knights soldiers who stayed in Winter Town undergoing routine training, but the soldiers of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment were also undergoing training. The

Spartan I soldiers, who had undergone a period of devilish training, had already begun to learn how to operate the Blizzard Power Armor, and there were more Spartan soldiers on the training ground who were receiving new recruit training.

“That was the Spartan III who had just arrived

in Winter Town.” The Spartan I had 100 people, and the Spartan II had 200 people who finally met the standard. This time, the King of Sparta spent a lot of money and sent a full 1,000 young and strong men, of which 500 would stay in Winter Town and be incorporated into the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment.

The rest would return to the Kingdom of Sparta and become the main legion of the Kingdom of Sparta.

In addition, David also saw Crossbones Rumlow, as well as Helen’s two brothers Castor and Pollux in the ranks of new recruits.

“Castor and Pollux are the Gemini in Greek legends, and Helen’s twin sister is the wife of Agamemnon, the commander of the Greek coalition forces in the Trojan War.”

“Oh~”

David’s knowledge of Greek legends is not detailed, and of course he can’t compare with Laura, a professional. When he heard the name of Helen’s brother, he didn’t know who these two were.

Now that Laura introduced them, he knew that Helen’s brothers and sisters were not “ordinary people.”

“I wonder if these brothers and sisters of Helen will show some special talents?” Although Helen, who came to his own world, was an “ordinary human” from the “ordinary world”, this special existence with a name and surname would more or less have some halos.

Now that he came to Winter Town, perhaps these halos would be strengthened in some way?

Thinking of this, he remembered that there were many “heroes” with names and surnames in Helen’s world. I wonder if he can get them later?

In addition to the Greek heroes, the most powerful force in Winter Town is the Cybertronians who have just settled here, especially the Decepticons. These Decepticons seem to like the life in the Winter Camp very much. A large number of Decepticons gather together to watch the excitement. The scene is not only shocking, but also a little silly and cute…

“I suddenly thought that when the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron is restored to its original state and the Alliance launches an attack on Northrend, I should invite your Winter Army to join.”

Fording looked at the Decepticons watching the excitement not far away, and felt that if the Alliance army could get the help of these Cybertronians, it might be able to destroy the Lich King Ner’zhul faster.

“This shouldn’t be a problem.” Although the Decepticons can be obedient and not cause trouble under the suppression of Megatron, it is easy to cause conflicts if they are always suppressed like this. Letting them out to have fun is the best solution.

There are orcs to fight on the Brunnia continent. If you think it’s not exciting enough, you can send them to Azeroth.

After walking around the military camp, Fording personally operated and experienced the latest Blizzard power armor. Looking at the expression of the old paladin after using it, he would not be satisfied if he was not given a set.

Then he went to the Navy Recruit Camp to take a look. However, James Norrington and the new sailors he taught were not in the camp. According to the camp guards, Commander Norrington took the recruits to practice ship operation.

“It’s just right. Next, we will go to the Winter River.”

After leaving the Winter Camp, David took a general look outside the Cybertron living area. This area is still very empty at present, and David doesn’t know what this area will look like in the future.

Then he turned to the garbage and wastewater treatment plant, power plant, water plant and Stark Manor. Fording focused on visiting the automated production factory underground in Stark Manor.

He was very interested in this place and even asked Tony Stark if Tony could help build such an automated weapons factory if the Kingdom of Lordaeron wanted to build one?

“And the power plant!” Fording, who had actually used modern electronic equipment, also knew how convenient it was. He felt that after the Kingdom of Lordaeron had eliminated the Scourge, it should also embark on the road of ‘modernization’.

He planned to go back and suggest to Her Highness Calia Menethil that when the Royal City of Lordaeron was being repaired, it should be directly modernized to usher in a new era for the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

After getting Tony’s answer that ‘it shouldn’t be a problem’, Fording left contentedly. The next step was to visit the Winter Wharf.

Here, in addition to seeing the civilian wharf, Fording also saw the military wharf that had just been built.

The cruiser transformed by Skyfire was also moored at the military wharf, and on the river not far away, a wooden sailboat was sailing in circles.

“Is that your navy?”

“After all, they are all inexperienced rookies. James thinks that using a sail training ship to let them get familiar with life on the ship first and cultivate team tacit understanding is a more appropriate training plan at present.”

The wind and waves on the Winter River were relatively strong these days. Norrington may have found this and then pulled the new recruits on board for training.

“Anyway, it’s a good start.”

Fording followed David around and gained a new understanding of the current Winter Town… or it can be called Winter City.

Compared with the small village where he lived, there is no similarity.

Except for a smaller population, Winter City has developed into a more advanced and beautiful city than the capital of Lordaeron.

“It’s incredible, it’s only been two years.”

“After all, I’m cheating.”

The most important point for the rapid construction and development is the Diggers. Without this group of Cybertron construction maniacs, it would be impossible to build so many facilities in such a short time.

“Maybe you will visit again after a while.”
