[Chapter 272 Evil power?]
David left 200 Spartan heavy infantrymen to guard Winter City. Although the biggest enemy on the northern plains is the orcs in the east, the current situation is special. David is not sure whether the elves in the south will suddenly go crazy and attack Winter City while fighting the Iron Tree Castle.
To be on the safe side, David plans to let Arcee stay in Winter City and go to the south from time to time. He also left 200 Spartan heavy infantrymen, plus some Autobots under the command of Sheriff Elizabeth Swan, so that the safety of Winter City is fully guaranteed.
“I didn’t expect it! I thought the new year would be a very peaceful year, and I just needed to watch the population grow quietly. As a result, the orcs welcomed the new year in this way before winter was completely over.”
David personally felt what it meant to be quiet when the wind did not stop. He just wanted to farm quietly, but there were always bad guys who wanted to destroy his beautiful and comfortable pastoral life.
Considering that the order for the forced migration of the population of the Kingdom of Tilan has been issued, perhaps this time the evil neighbor of the orcs should be completely eliminated to restore peace and tranquility to the northern plains!
The order was passed down, and Floyd and Jack Krauser left to prepare for the expedition.
Megatron was also choosing the right warrior to follow him to Snowforest.
David looked at the people who had not left yet, wanting to hear their ideas and whether they had any special suggestions.
As a result, everyone, including Tony, Jaina, and Sylvanas, had no special ideas.
Only Medivh wanted to go to the front line to see if the power used by the orcs was fel energy.
“If you collect samples, remember to bring some back.” Tony didn’t care about fel energy or not, he was simply interested in unknown energy that he had never touched.
“If that power is really fel energy, then I personally suggest that you never study it.” Medivh and Tony were not very familiar with each other, and the two of them rarely communicated with each other. Even
if Tony was interested in mysterious knowledge, he would go to someone who could talk to him more, or a beautiful female mage like Jaina to discuss it, instead of going to Medivh.
“Let’s first determine whether it is evil energy or not before we talk about other things!” David spoke up and ended the conversation between the two. Tony would probably argue with him, and Medivh would not give Tony a good face. It was foreseeable that the two would quarrel.
David did not want his conference room to become a fighting arena for the two, so he ended the topic directly.
And when he saw that no one had any questions to ask, he simply asked everyone to do their own things.
Although the Winter City army entered a state of general mobilization, it did not affect other things in Winter City.
Schools were in class as usual, shops were open as usual, and as the temperature rose, farmers began to prepare for the new year’s farming.
This also included those free farmers who wanted to obtain land in Winter City. Many of them have begun to look for suitable wasteland and prepare to reclaim it into their own farmland.
Because of this reason, the public security in Winter City, which had been improving, has recently deteriorated again, which directly caused the sheriff Elizabeth to be busy and did not even attend this meeting.
However, this meeting did not discuss too much. It just let everyone know the current situation of Winter City: Orcs are invading, we have to fight!
That’s all!
No one thinks that the orcs can threaten Winter City. Even if the orcs show new “weapons”, they still firmly believe that these orcs are just a group of clowns. As long as the Winter City army arrives at the front line, the orcs will be wiped out with a flick of the finger.
After all, the current regular weapons of Winter City have amazing power.
The more than 500 soldiers sent to Snow Castle this time alone can kill those orcs into an endangered species! This does not include the group of Transformers of the Cybertron Legion.
Even if these orcs can fight against the conventional combat power of Snow Castle with their special abilities, they can also dispatch unconventional combat forces when necessary.
Led by Lord David Earl of Glamorgan, they also include Archmage Medivh; Archmage Jaina Proudmoore; the new Supreme Mage, Holy Light Shaman Steve Rogers, etc.
Any one of these people would be equivalent to an elite army, so no matter how you look at it, the orcs have no chance of winning.
“So… My Lord, just stay in Winter City. There is no need to go to Snow Castle in person.” After learning about Winter City’s “real strength”, Elias Parker did not think that the orcs could threaten Winter City. He felt that handing the war over to Gareth Stanton would be enough to deal with the orcs. “I
‘m worried that Gareth can’t control Megatron.”
When Megatron was reborn, David implanted an order of absolute loyalty to him, but other than that, the new Megatron was no different from the original Megatron in character.
Therefore, he could not obey the command of Gareth, a human. The only person in Winter City who could command Megatron was David himself.
Of course, he was not without a way to deal with this situation: just send Optimus Prime over there. With Optimus Prime watching, Megatron would not be able to cause any trouble.
“Besides that, I want to see the power used by the orcs up close. What’s going on?”
This was the real reason why he wanted to go to Snowforest in person. It would be even better if he could indirectly “observe” the existence behind them through the power used by the orcs.
Although David felt that the probability of this happening was infinitely close to zero.
“What’s the situation at Frost Post?”
While they were having a meeting, Frost Post was fighting with the orcs. David estimated the time. It had been a while since Gareth went there with the support. The battle should be over, right?
Looking out the window, the street lights of Winter City kept the city bright, but Frost Post should be pitch black by now, right?
In fact, Frost Post was not dark at all, and it was even bright. It was just the green flames around that made the atmosphere here seem a bit weird.
Gareth Stanton looked at the huge orc corpse, and finally looked at Nitrogen Zeus standing next to him.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m not very well, you should be able to see that.” Nitrogen Zeus was not in a good condition, with many wounds all over his body, and sparks bursting from many places: “What’s wrong with this guy!”
Nitrogen Zeus had seen orcs before, and bullied these guys in the air, so he didn’t take this group of weak guys seriously at all. When he was excited, he turned into a human form and rushed into the orcs.
As a result, while fighting, an orc with a physique similar to his suddenly appeared beside him, and his whole body was glowing green! What
shocked him even more was that this orc glowing green could break his protective shield!
Fortunately, he had rich combat experience, and with the support of his comrades beside him, he was not beaten to death by this orc.
“Go back and find an ambulance to treat you… Your fire is also consumed a lot.” Arcee was now in the appearance of a Cybertronian, and her body size was not the size of a compressed human, but the body size in a normal state.
Although the battle was over, Arcee remained alert, her goggles were still on, and she kept detecting the situation in the distance: “Although the orcs have temporarily retreated, I can still detect several energy reactions.”
“Don’t worry, the Lord has mobilized a hundred Spartan heavy infantry to take over the defense of Frost Post.”
Gareth Stanton has been communicating with Winter City, so that he can know the decision of Winter City at the first time, and ensure that Winter City always knows the situation here. Gareth Stanton received the news of
various orders issued by David at the first time, and also knew that the Lord had mobilized most of the troops to prepare to enter Snowfield Castle, and it seemed that he was ready to completely eliminate the threat of the orcs.
“The first batch of Spartan heavy infantry will come to replace us later.”
Because of Gareth’s special status, it is impossible for him to stay at Frost Post and wait for the heavy infantry regiment to be fully assembled before handing over the work. Therefore, some Spartan heavy infantry will come by Quinjet to take over the defense of the sentry post first, so that Gareth and his group can return to Winter City.
As for the subsequent heavy infantry, it will be a little slower to come by car.
Soon, the first batch of heavy infantry to take over the defense work arrived. All of these Spartan heavy infantry were wearing blizzard power armor and using new Piccolo rifles.
In fact, the current inventory of blizzard power armor and new Piccolo rifles is enough for the entire army to use. David simply decided to take advantage of this war to complete the upgrade of the entire army’s equipment.
Correspondingly, the arsenal’s new ammunition production line has added two additional ones to ensure that his troops have sufficient ammunition to use.
After issuing a series of instructions and confirming that Gareth has also boarded the return plane, David felt that there should be nothing to do today, and waited for tomorrow morning to take the troops to Snowfield Castle.
Unexpectedly, when Gareth returned to Winter City, Chris, who came back with him on the Quinjet, brought back something from the battlefield, which made David give up resting directly.
“Was this thing found on an orc?” David looked at the amulet-like object in his hand, which looked like some kind of ornament. He could feel a chaotic force from it. “Is there anything special about that orc?”
After all, Chris had been a policeman, and he had been dealing with biological weapons for many years. He was particularly good at finding overlooked details in chaotic situations. “These orcs are stronger, and they are more brave and fierce in battle… In addition, their skin exudes a little green.”
“It looks more and more like evil energy…”
