Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 251



[Chapter 251 Sophia’s Choice]

Standing on the Winter Wharf, looking at the fishing boats parked beside the pier, Sofia watched with great interest for a long time, and then turned her attention to the military wharf at a certain distance.

Compared with the fishing boats next to it, the cruiser transformed by Skyfire is undoubtedly more conspicuous: “The Winter River is so vast.”

He was looking at the boat, but talking about the river.

“Where does this river lead to?”

“Follow the river to the west and eventually enter the sea.”

“Sea? This leads to the sea?” The Kingdom of Tilan is an inland country with no coastline in the entire kingdom. After the establishment of Winter City, sailing to the sea in the west through the Winter River is the only outlet to the sea in the Kingdom of Tilan.

David did not report this information, and even His Majesty the King did not know that his country now has an outlet to the sea.

Now that this matter has been told to Sofia, perhaps His Majesty King Abelson will also know this news soon?

David was thinking about this when Sofia suddenly turned her head and looked at him.

“What?”

“Do you need me to keep it a secret for you?”

“You mean Haikou?”

“Yes!” Sophia nodded several times: “I can not tell anyone!”

David looked at the young princess and suddenly wanted to know her thoughts. Why didn’t she refuse this marriage? And it looked like she had made up her mind to marry him?

Asking the question directly, I thought Sophia would be a little embarrassed, but the princess was stunned for two seconds, and then gave an irrefutable answer: “If I don’t marry you, I will marry someone else. At that time, I don’t know if I can stay in Dilan…”

As a princess of the Dilan Kingdom, this is Sophia’s unavoidable fate!

Her marriage is not just a marriage, it will be mixed with many additional factors.

Comparing various situations, you will find that marrying David is a very good choice for Sophia herself: she has met David and has some good feelings for David.

David, who is young, handsome, strong, and has good abilities, is definitely better than a stranger she has never met and has no idea what kind of personality he has.

Besides, if she married David, she could stay in Dilan. If she was married abroad for some reasons, she might never be able to return to her hometown in her life.

What’s more terrible is that if she really married to another country, she might have to maintain the dignity of Princess Dilan at all times, and she could never do what she wanted or liked to do.

That kind of life is too terrible. Even if she knew her fate and the mission she shouldered, she was unwilling to choose such a future.

Listening to Sofia’s description, David found that the other party’s reasons were indeed very sufficient. If he faced a similar situation, he would also make the same choice.

He took Sofia to the military dock again, and even boarded the deck of the cruiser transformed by Skyfire, standing on the deck to feel the strong north wind on the river.

Sofia closed her eyes and felt it for a while, and suddenly took off the necklace on her neck. Then she really felt what it felt like in the winter of Winter City, especially on windy days.

“It’s so cold!”

David moved quickly, raised his hand and released a holy light to protect the princess, then took the necklace from Sofia’s hand and put it back on Sofia’s neck.

At this time, Sophia was still looking down at the golden light lingering around her: “What is this?”

“Holy Light.”

“Holy Light?”

“Yes, it is a magical power…”

David put the necklace that maintained the temperature on Sophia again, and briefly introduced the Holy Light to Sophia, and also introduced the Holy Light Cathedral and the Holy Light Church.

“Sounds a bit like the Temple?”

“The difference is still very obvious.”

The gods worshipped and believed in by the Temple are named gods, but the teachings of the Holy Light Church are not like this, and the so-called Holy Light is not a clear individual.

As they chatted, the sun gradually set, and the night gradually enveloped Winter City.

Because it was winter, the sun set earlier, and it was dark, but it was not yet dinner time.

However, as a princess, even if she was dating her ‘fiancé’, she couldn’t stay out in the dark, so even though she still had a lot of things she was curious about, she still took the iron sheet back to the high-end accommodation area of the Winter Hotel.

“There are so many interesting things here, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s visit.”

“There will be more interesting things tomorrow, Your Highness, please take a good rest and get enough energy.” Tomorrow’s visit is not only to entertain Princess Sofia, Earl Sutton-Stewart is also an important guest.

At the same time, the main place of tomorrow’s visit is the Winter Barracks. Although a lot of intelligence will be exposed, it is also an opportunity to show strength.

After bidding farewell to Princess Sofia, David returned to his office in Castle Glamorgan and discussed tomorrow’s affairs with etiquette officer Elias, commander of the Winter Knights Gareth Stanton, deputy commander Floyd and others.

In addition, there is a laser bird standing on David’s desk. The laser bird appears here to represent the Decepticons. The now renamed Cybertron Legion – Laser Bird will broadcast the meeting for Soundwave and Megatron simultaneously, and Megatron can also discuss things with David through Laser Bird.

There is no way. Although the Decepticons have joined Winter City, when Fort Glamorgan was built, the internal buildings were built according to the standard of “humans”, and the situation of holding meetings with Cybertronians was not considered.

However, it is said that Megatron and Optimus Prime have decided to establish a Cybertron Technology Research Center in the Cybertron Living Area. The first key research topic is the deeper application of Cybertron compression technology.

The goal of the research is to allow Cybertronians to maintain a body size similar to that of humans for a long time without affecting combat and transformation efficiency. Cybertron compression technology can compress them to the size of ordinary humans, but this compression will cause various side effects, such as longer transformation time.

As for why they did not study this technology before, it was because there was no need.

Now Megatron feels that he needs to further strengthen his compression technology. He does not want to have Laserbeak to help broadcast every time he has a meeting.

“Tomorrow’s tour route has been basically determined: starting from farmland and residential areas, followed by garbage, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, water plants, and finally military camps.” The tour routes

are all formulated by Elias. The order must take into account the route, time, lunch, etc.

“If everything goes well, we will arrive at the military camp at noon. After a simple lunch, we will start to visit various areas in the military camp, various weapons and equipment, and some combat demonstrations.”

Elias finished explaining the whole process, and then it was the job of the two commanders.

“Sir, when showing the combat power of the Winter Knights, should we be appropriately reserved?” Although Gareth Stanton was appointed by His Majesty King Abelson to become David’s personal guard knight, he has always firmly regarded David Earl of Glamorgan as his object of loyalty. Earl of Glamorgan is his true monarch.

So at this time, he will only consider David’s interests, not the interests of the king or the Kingdom of Tiran.

“No, there’s no need!” David waved his hand, indicating that the demonstration would be carried out normally: “Even if Earl Stewart knew the actual combat power of the Winter Knights, by the time he returned to the capital to report the information, the information would have become outdated.” The

Winter Knights have already stepped on the fast track, especially after Tony Stark, who likes to tinker with black technology, officially settled in Winter City, the equipment of the Winter Knights has been constantly updated.

At present, the Winter Knights are generally equipped with the test version of the Blizzard power armor, which is also the equipment to be used in the demonstration tomorrow.

In fact, the official version of the Blizzard power armor has been finalized, and several sets have been produced for testing.

In the future, the Winter Knights will slowly replace the official model of the Blizzard power armor.

In addition to the more complete internal system facilities, the combat effectiveness of the official model of the Blizzard power armor has also been significantly improved: Cybertron energy shield, greater mobility and power increase, more powerful shock absorption system, etc. In addition, the

new generation of rifles, tentatively code-named Flute, which is still under testing.

As for why it is called Flute? It was because David had named Winter City’s standard pistol “piano” before, so Tony randomly chose a musical instrument as the code name for the new rifle.

A lot of new weapons are waiting to be equipped, and the soldiers of the Winter Knights have begun to receive paladin training, and their combat effectiveness will soon be greatly improved, so there is no need to hide the things they have mastered.

As for the things that really need to be hidden, such as fighting methods and new tactics, these things don’t need to be hidden either. In the previous battle of Snowfield Castle, many soldiers of Iron Tree Castle saw how Winter City fought, and he didn’t believe that the capital couldn’t get this information.

In fact, if he deliberately made a huge difference from the battle of Snowfield Castle when he showed the Winter City army tomorrow, it would arouse more suspicion… At this time when the Kingdom of Tilan is preparing to forcibly migrate its population to the north, it is not a smart thing to arouse suspicion.

After David briefly explained his ideas, the people in front of him knew what to do tomorrow: train as usual and show how to show.

It seems that after Winter City has shown enough strong combat effectiveness, the capital will not continue to insist on stationing troops in the northern plains.

“What should we do?” Laserbeak, who had been silent, spoke up with Megatron’s voice. The Cybertron Legion was also considered a part of the Winter Legion, but how should they demonstrate their abilities tomorrow?

“Let Nitro Zeus perform a flight show and demonstrate the effect of ground attacks.”
