Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 274



[Chapter 274 Life is precious, safety comes first]

Standing on the street, Ethan looked back at the high wall outside the Glamorgan Castle, which can also be called the wall of the Winter Fortress. The tall wall and the trucks passing by in front of him revealed a solemn atmosphere. After

watching quietly for a while, Ethan crossed the road and came to the door of the Winter Hotel when all the trucks drove away.

“Morning, Ethan!”

“Good morning, Jonah!” Ethan glanced at the young man with split hair standing next to him, smiled and nodded, and greeted him. At the same time, his professional habit made him quickly analyze the situation of this person: this person and himself should be in the same industry.

Retracting his gaze, he noticed that the other party also looked at him. The two looked at each other and smiled and nodded as a greeting.

“Leon Kennedy.”

“Ethan Hunt.”

After a simple greeting, they knew each other. Ethan guessed that this Leon Kennedy also came from another world.

Just as he was thinking about this, Leon and Jonah in front of him began to discuss what happened in Winter City, which also aroused his interest. He stood aside quietly as a listener.

Although he had not been in Winter City for too long, Ethan still knew some news.

For example, Jonah Maiawa, the owner of the Winter Hotel, had a good relationship with Laura Croft and had been a companion on adventures together.

And that Laura Croft was one of the confidantes of Lord David Earl of Glamorgan, so it was not strange that Jonah knew a lot of information that others did not know.

After listening for a while, Ethan realized that while he was happily shopping and experiencing the life of ordinary people, the surroundings of Winter City were not very peaceful.

The temperature had just risen, and winter had not completely passed, and the race called orcs launched an attack on the territory of Winter City.

Not only did they attack the Frost Outpost, but they also mobilized a large number of troops to prepare to attack Snowfield Castle, which is currently the most border fortress in Winter City.

“War…”

Ethan sighed. He didn’t expect that he would encounter war not long after arriving in this beautiful city. Does this mean that his plan to live a peaceful life in this place has completely failed?

“Don’t worry, those orcs can’t be the opponent of Winter City.” Jonah and Ethan are quite familiar with each other. After all, he often entrusted Ethan to buy some seasonings, spatulas or some tableware these days: “The strength of the Winter Knights is very strong.”

Jonah is a veteran. He also has enough military knowledge. After seeing the combat effectiveness of the Winter Knights, he really doesn’t think anyone can threaten Winter City.

As if he realized that Ethan didn’t completely believe what he said, Jonah directly said: “As long as you have seen the weapons and equipment used by the Winter Knights or the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment, you won’t worry.” Ethan

nodded. He was indeed interested in the Winter Knights and the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment in his heart. Although he knew the names of these troops, he didn’t know the specific information of these troops.

Is the Knights a cavalry unit? But I didn’t see any cavalry just now, only a lot of transport trucks; what about the Spartan heavy infantry?

Just as he was thinking about this, Ethan felt his stomach making a rumbling protest. Maybe he should fill his stomach first, and then study the composition of the army in Winter City?

Oh, maybe he can also exchange some experiences with this suspected colleague named Leon while eating breakfast? Or when they need to help each other in the future…

David arrived at Snowfield Castle in the Quinjet first, and the commanders headed by Gareth Stanton came here with him.

When the senior officials arrived, the command of Snowfield Castle was automatically transferred to David, and then everyone entered the combat conference room for a meeting.

“Is there any combat plan?”

David looked at Gareth, Brock Rumlow, Jack Krauser and others, and asked them how they decided to fight?

The combat conference room specially renovated by Snowfield Castle allows Transformers to come in. Megatron and Shatter, who was previously responsible for some affairs of Snowfield Castle, are also present.

“The Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment will go out of the city to meet the enemy head-on.” Gareth did not hesitate and directly submitted the battle plan he and others had discussed to the Lord: “The Cybertron Legion will be responsible for air support.”

“Oh? No Winter Knights?” Gareth Stanton usually prefers to use the Winter Knights to attack first. Relying on the Winter Knights’ strong combat power and equipment advantages, they will launch airborne attacks from the enemy’s interior or rear, forcing the opponent’s formation into chaos, and then the heavy infantry will clean up the battlefield from the front.

“The Winter Knights will be the backup.” Gareth Stanton believes that the current Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment still has enough combat power, and it still has an advantage in a head-on confrontation with the orcs, even if the number of the opponent is dozens of times that of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment: “When the opponent uses a killer move, the Winter Knights will enter the field and take charge of these threatening targets with the Cybertron warriors.”

“Hmm…”

After listening to Gareth Stanton’s battle arrangement, David also understood his plan.

This is to force the orcs to play first, and then the Winter Knights will attack in a targeted manner, so as to ensure that the orcs’ killer moves will not cause too much damage to Winter City.

“Do you have any opinions?”

David mainly looked at Megatron. Basically, the human soldiers of the Winter Legion will obey Gareth Stanton’s orders, only the situation of the Cybertron Legion is slightly special.

“I think the Cybertron Legion can join the battle earlier, such as entering the battlefield with the Spartan heavy infantry.” Megatron wanted to prove his ability in front of David and prove the ability of the Decepticons: “Lightning, Drift, Smash, Surfboard, Thundercracker, and Skywarp can stand by in the rear.” Megatron

has already asked about the enemy’s situation in detail. He learned from Nitrogen Zeus that the orcs have an ability to make themselves bigger, and the green energy they use called fel energy can break through the energy shield.

So he used these flying troops as a backup, targeting these giant orcs that may appear at any time.

He hopes that this battle can make the Cybertron Legion a real trump card force in Winter City, and he doesn’t want to lose personnel in a muddle, even if it is the Autobots who once opposed him.

“In addition, the giant scorpion monster should be able to give those orcs some surprises.”

The Decepticons have a giant mechanical worm, which has amazing destructive power, but it is too big to come over, so it is a bit troublesome, so it was not brought this time.

But the giant scorpion monster is enough. This mass-produced Decepticon is of moderate size, and its combat style of launching surprise attacks from underground is very suitable for creating chaos on the battlefield.

“Let’s fight like this!”

David accepted Megatron’s advice in full. He felt that everyone could get what they wanted with this style of play.

The Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment gained combat experience and truly grew into the main force of Winter City; the Winter Knights still maintained their trump card status; the Cybertron Legion also proved its ability.

This style of play can also effectively reduce the probability of casualties on our side – if the rescue is timely, it is not impossible to wipe out the enemy without casualties. After all, Sally Whitemane, Raynor Mograine and Tyran Fording are also here this time.

With these people, plus David’s personal care, plus the defense of the Blizzard Power Armor and its built-in first aid function (the armor integrates vital signs monitoring and automatic injection of therapeutic drugs), it should be possible to ensure that every soldier can survive.

As for the safety of the Transformers? The ambulance has also arrived at the Snow Fort!

Even if something unexpected happened, as long as the fire was not completely extinguished, David could save him – even if it was really extinguished, at most he could go to Azeroth and make him a Cybertronian again in a few minutes. The

military commanders went to make preparations before the war, and David took Helen and others to the city wall.

Standing on the city wall and looking to the plains in the east, the orc army could be seen in the distance. The place where the sky and the earth met in the distance was densely packed with orcs.

“So many orcs, how did they live before?”

David looked at the piles of orcs in the distance, and wondered if there was something like a barracks in the east. As long as he threw some ore, money, wood and other things, there would be a steady stream of orcs running out?

This number was a bit abnormal.

“How about sending someone to investigate?” Laura also wanted to know the answer, and the adventurous factor in her bones began to stir again: “How about I go to the rear of the orcs with Peggy and Sylvanas?”

David wanted to reject Laura’s suggestion directly. According to his personality, it was a very bad plan to investigate the enemy’s hometown alone without knowing the other party’s situation.

But his refusal was stuck in his throat and he never uttered it.

For some reason, he always felt that there was a voice telling him that as long as he went to take a look, he could get the answers to many questions.

After hesitating for a few seconds, David simply decided: go and see it himself!

Without Laura, let alone Helen, he was going to go deep alone this time, because he felt that if he went alone, he could choose to fight or flee at will when he encountered enemies or any troubles?

The abilities such as Holy Light and Cybertron Body may not be invincible, but David has sufficient confidence in them to save his life.

Moreover, he is also a Cybertron Hermit Warrior. When necessary, he can even “transform” himself into an orc.

But even with so many abilities to save his life, David still made a few more preparations after making the decision.

He asked Medivh to bind a passive teleportation spell: it would automatically trigger when David’s life was in danger and teleport him back to Winterfell.

In addition, he also brought the hearthstone he had received from Varian not long ago.
