[Chapter 247 Earl Stuart’s Mission]

After Snowfield Castle became David’s territory, the residents and the original garrison were transferred to Winter Town by David. Then Diggers entered Snowfield Castle and rebuilt the border post of the current Winter City territory.

The focus of the reconstruction was placed on the city, such as building a relatively small power plant (using crystal ore as energy), a small garbage and sewage treatment plant, power supply, water supply, sewage and other infrastructure.

Then the road was paved to ensure that the Transformers from Cybertron could move relatively freely in Snowfield Castle, and then various buildings were built.

The buildings built at present are mainly military camps. Because the current situation of Snowfield Castle is special, no civilians live here, and all facilities are for military services. Therefore, the interior style of the renovated Snowfield Castle is very “cold and hard”, and there is a solemn atmosphere everywhere.

After a general look, Earl Sutton-Stewart found that there were no ordinary residents in Snowfield Castle, and the few people who were not wearing armor seemed to be soldiers.

“Are there no ordinary people and craftsmen in Snowfield Castle?”

“No.” David didn’t think there was any need to hide these things. When Sutton-Stewart brought a large group of people to Winter City, he knew that the various wonders of Winter City would be known to the Kingdom of Tiran: “Currently, Snowfield Castle is the outermost defense line of Winter City, and it is very close to the orcs, so it has been converted into a pure military facility.”

In a way, he also wanted to show his territory. In that case, His Majesty King Abelson might have many questions, but before some questions are answered, he is even less likely to do anything to Winter City, and David can develop quietly for a while. Sutton

listened to David’s various introductions and realized that Winter City had completely transformed Snowfield Castle. It can be said that except for the circle of walls and the name of Snowfield Castle, there is nothing here that has anything to do with the original Snowfield Castle.

Even the building they entered was a new house that had just been built not long ago-the original fortress that had just been built had been demolished. Now this building is closer to the style of Winter. It doesn’t seem to have much defense, but it will be more comfortable to live in.

Earl Sutton-Stewart and Princess Sophia were arranged to rest here, while the guards of the delegation were led to the barracks.

The military barracks of Snowfield Castle were large and comfortable. Because there were not many soldiers in Winter City at present, there were enough empty rooms to accommodate these guards.

After entering the barracks, the guards felt a burst of heat on their faces and suddenly realized that they might not have to worry about freezing in this icy and snowy land.

“The living conditions of these soldiers in Winter City are actually better than the barracks of the Tilan Knights…”

The members of the Tilan Knights all have good backgrounds, and they would definitely be dissatisfied if the living conditions were too poor.

As the strongest military force in the Tilan Kingdom, the Tilan Knights have top-notch treatment in all aspects. Even the accommodation allocated to ordinary knights is no worse than the standard guest rooms in ordinary hotels.

But only the Tilan Knights can get such treatment, and other troops in the Tilan Kingdom cannot enjoy such good benefits.

Unexpectedly, today in the cold frontier of the Tilan Kingdom, the knights of the Tilan Knights met a troop whose accommodation environment was no worse than that of the Tilan Knights.

“Look at the heavy armor on those guys. The Earl of Glamorgan is willing to spend money on soldiers.” It costs a lot of money to support a strong army, and many lords are reluctant to spend a lot of money on soldiers.

Especially this kind of seemingly “unnecessary” expenditure!

“Considering that the Earl of Winter City repelled the orcs not long ago, it seems that the Earl has made a very correct choice.”

“Speaking of orcs, I’m beginning to wonder what those so-called orcs look like?”

The guards were discussing orcs, and Sutton-Stewart was also discussing orcs with David.

He came to the northern plains this time and was also tasked with investigating military intelligence. He had to determine how much of a threat the orcs posed to the Kingdom of Tiran, and report in detail to His Majesty the King when he returned.

“Orcs…” David told him all the information he had about the orcs. Sutton didn’t care too much at first. He had the same idea as most people in the kingdom. How could a group of backward races defeated by the Lord of Winter pose a threat to the powerful Kingdom of Tiran?

Winter City is just a small border town. With a small population, it is obvious that the military strength cannot be very strong.

How weak must the orcs be to be defeated by the Lord of Winter?

They wondered how useless the soldiers of Iron Tree Castle were. They couldn’t even resist a group of weaklings? They actually had to ask for help from the capital.

Now they came to Snowfield Castle in person and saw the heavy armored knights under David (Winter Knights wearing power armor), and saw those tall metal puppets, as well as the powerful infrastructure that could quickly transform Snowfield Castle into a pure military facility.

Sutton-Stewart has realized that those orcs may not be as weak as they initially thought. The reason why Iron Tree Castle could not withstand the attack of the orcs was not because of its own strength.

It was because the strength of Winter City was stronger than everyone imagined!

After listening to David’s description at this time, the specific situation of the orcs proved Sutton’s judgment just now.

“Able to fight against elite knights, with tall and strong bodies, and at the same time an astonishing number…” The combat effectiveness of a single orc is not weak, and one-on-one can fight against elite soldiers who have received rigorous training.

But what is even more terrifying is the number of orcs. Snow Castle was previously attacked by 5,000 orcs, and this is not the full force of the orcs.

“At present, there are a large number of orcs scattered in the east of the northern plains. The specific number is difficult to count, because these orcs came to the northern plains from farther away, and they seem to be migrating to this land continuously.”

David once considered going to the east to investigate in person to see where these orcs came from?

However, after confirming that there was a powerful god behind the scenes, and the Pretender No. 1 was destroyed neatly, he temporarily gave up this reconnaissance plan. If he

flew directly over, would he be killed by the gods like Pretender No. 1? Even if he was just being inexplicably concerned, it would not be a good thing for him.

It is better to maintain the current state first, improve his strength, and observe whether there will be any strange changes on the orcs’ side?

According to the dark elf priest who met at the beginning, when the dark elves invaded the Brunnia continent, the goddess of night helped a lot; later, when humans entered the Brunnia continent, they were also protected by the god of war and the goddess of harvest.

It doesn’t make sense that the orcs have no power at all, which means that the orcs obviously have a bigger trump card that has not been used yet.

He did not tell Sutton-Stewart about this unconfirmed news, but even if he only told the earl the information he had at present, he had already made Earl Sutton-Stewart realize the seriousness of the matter. The

large number of orcs with good combat effectiveness is indeed a huge threat. After silently thinking about the terrain of the northern plains and the surrounding areas, Earl Sutton-Stewart wanted to determine whether the orcs could threaten the interior of the Kingdom of Tilan from other routes.

Fortunately, unless these orcs can cross the Tilan Mountains, they can only threaten the core territory of the Kingdom of Tilan by breaking through Winter City and Iron Tree Castle in succession.

He suddenly remembered that the Sodurunma Empire had sent out some information some time ago: their eastern part has not been very peaceful in the past two years and has been frequently attacked.

When the Kingdom of Tilan received this news, it was considered lively and fun. Now it seems that it is actually the orcs who have harassed the coast of the Sodurunma Empire in the past two years?

After sorting out all the information in his mind, Sutton recorded it first, then asked about the situation of Snowfield Castle, and expressed his desire to visit the current defense situation of Snowfield Castle.

“If Winter City needs it, the king will send the Tilan Knights to Snowfield Castle!”

“There is no need for this for the time being.” David did not want the fortress he had finally occupied to be occupied by the Tilan Knights for no reason.

If the Tilan Knights were stationed in Snowfield Castle, would Snowfield Castle still be considered his territory? Would these knights listen to him or the king directly?

The answer was obvious. After all, even David himself was loyal to His Majesty the King. It was impossible for the Tilan Knights to ignore the king’s orders and act in accordance with the orders of the Earl.

Coming out of the room, Sutton followed David to the city wall. At this time, he noticed that there were always huge metal puppets “wandering” near the city wall. It seemed that these puppets were on guard and patrol.

“I’ve been wanting to ask this since a while ago.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Are these metal puppets made using alchemy?”

“No!” David said hello to Lightning not far away: “They are Cybertronians, a very special race.”

“Uh…”

Sutton never thought that the metal puppets he had always thought of were actually a special life form, and a group of people.

So, these huge metal giants called Cybertronians have become the subjects of Winter City?

Could it be that the real reason why Winter City is so powerful is these Cybertronians?

Sutton felt that he might have guessed the truth, and in a sense, his guess was not wrong!

At the same time, the Earl was keenly aware that David seemed to have deliberately told him this information. It seemed that he wanted to explain to His Majesty the King the secret of Winter City’s strength through his report.

Why do you do this? Maybe to show loyalty? To reduce the suspicion and vigilance from the king?

No matter what the idea was, Sutton-Stewart felt that his mission this time should be easier to complete – in addition to investigating the situation of the orcs, he also had to find out the situation of Winter City.

Including what exactly is going on with that so-called flying dragon? We need to investigate it thoroughly!
