Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 287



[Chapter 287 Super Optimus Prime]

“I made a wrong judgment in command this time, and I disappoint you, sir.”

After reporting the battle process in detail, Gareth Stanton expressed his willingness to accept punishment.

David did not say anything, but glanced at Optimus Prime next to him, and the former Autobot leader explained it to Gareth.

At that time, the convoy transporting civilians was attacked by elves. Gareth Stanton commanded the Winter Knights to launch a surprise attack from the rear, and indeed eliminated the most threatening giant tree in the shortest time, ensuring that the convoy did not suffer any losses. From the outbreak to the end of this battle, only a few unlucky people who ran around were slightly injured, and no one died.

It can be said that although Gareth Stanton made some minor mistakes in the battle command, there was no problem overall.

The most important thing is that Gareth Stanton’s “wrong judgment” was based on the strong combat effectiveness of the Blizzard Power Armor in the previous battle. He was sure that his knights had the ability to fight alone, so he made such a command.

When facing the orc army, the Spartan heavy infantry regiment formed a relatively dense formation at the beginning, but as the battle progressed, the soldiers became more and more scattered, because Tyran Fording found that only by dispersing could the full firepower of the soldiers wearing blizzard power armor be truly brought into play.

Not to mention the team’s assembly and cooperation, even if two or three soldiers gathered together, it would be a waste.

It was based on this battlefield performance that Gareth let all the knights disperse in this operation, and almost every knight would attack a target unit alone.

So strictly speaking, it cannot be said that Gareth Stanton made a mistake in command, but the current commander did not have a full understanding of the combat power of his own and the enemy, and he needed to constantly try and error when commanding the operation.

“In this case… For the next period of time, you should not participate in any battle command work, and be responsible for training work in the barracks for a period of time!”

David seemed to have punished Gareth Stanton, but in fact it was nothing.

Even if this did not happen, Gareth Stanton would have to rest for a while under normal circumstances. Even if Winter City wanted to go to war with the elves next, the commander would not be Gareth Stanton, but someone else.

Gareth Stanton wanted to say something, but David stopped him.

Since the Lord had made the decision, as the earliest personal guard knight to follow Lord Glamorgan, Gareth Stanton could only obey unconditionally.

However, he had made up his mind in his heart that he must take advantage of this time to study how to better command the Winter Knights.

He could perfectly exert the full combat power of the knights who used advanced weapons such as Blizzard Power Armor and Piccolo Assault Rifles, and would not cause his men to fall into crisis due to being too dispersed.

After watching Gareth Stanton leave, David looked at Optimus Prime again. After

the former Autobot leader prompted the Cybertronians to move collectively to Winter Town, he concentrated on studying the Holy Light. This time, he took the initiative to find him, and Optimus Prime led some Autobots and Spartan heavy infantry to transport the people stranded in Irontree Castle back to Winter City.

After completing the task and reporting the specific situation to David with Gareth Stanton, Optimus Prime did not seem to leave. It was obvious that he had something to talk to him about.

“What’s the matter?”

“Yes.” Optimus Prime didn’t beat around the bush and directly expressed his concerns: “I originally thought that coming to Winter City was a good choice for the Cybertronians, but the wars that have occurred one after another have made me worried.”

Winter City has not been very peaceful recently, and it is not just the war that worries him; first the orcs, then the elves, Optimus Prime is worried that one day the humans in Winter City will be unable to accept the Cybertronians like the humans in his world.

“This is a completely different situation.” David comforted Optimus Prime and told him not to worry about it: “The fundamental reason for these wars is the competition for living space and resources, and the Cybertronians are part of Winter City.”

David felt in his heart that it was precisely because of these wars that these Cybertronians were integrated into Winter City more quickly.

Because there are external enemies, people inside will not care about racial differences and different living habits.

What’s more, the human residents of Winter City are much more accepting than the humans on Earth in the Transformers world. In addition to the fact that the Brunnia continent itself has more strange races, there is also the existence of mysterious forces.

In a world with mysterious power, the ability of Transformers to transform is not a special ability, because Druids know how to transform. From the perspective of body structure, the transformation of Druids is much more outrageous than that of Transformers.

“Winter City has enough resources for survival.”

Winter City does not need to rely on military expansion to seize other people’s resources. At present, Winter City’s resources have not been insufficient.

Even if more people come, more wasteland will be reclaimed; at the same time, more people will be invested in various industries, and even the fishing industry, which does not exist at present, may be born due to market demand.

In addition, as the territory actually controlled by David continues to expand, the barren land of the northern plains will all become fertile land. Even David is not sure how many people such a large piece of fertile land can feed.

“What if the orcs and elves want to get the various resources of Winter City?”

“As long as they are obtained through legitimate means…”

Optimus Prime nodded slightly when he heard David say this. Although he cares about the survival rights of various lives, he is not a brainless supporter. It is obvious that the other party launched the attack first and asked David not to fight back.

As for the legitimate way that David mentioned, Optimus Prime could guess: it was nothing more than obtaining the resources of Winter City through trade; or simply becoming a resident of Winter City, just like the Cybertronians.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, and even thought that if David could become the ruler of this land, it might be the luck of all the intelligent races on this continent.

David would not enslave them, but would establish a stable order to ensure that people living in his territory could obtain the rewards they deserved through labor and use these rewards in exchange for the various living resources they needed.

Although there were classes in Winter City, Optimus Prime did not see oppression here. Even if the security forces were a little rough when enforcing the law, it was acceptable.

Afterwards, Optimus Prime talked to David about the issue of Holy Light.

David found that Optimus Prime had a thorough understanding of Holy Light and was not far from truly mastering it.

Just thinking about this, David found that a beam of light descended from the head of Optimus Prime who was meditating, and the golden light enveloped the metal giant.

After a moment, the holy light disappeared, and Optimus Prime was still thinking about the wonderful feeling just now.

“How do you feel?”

“Better than ever.” As Optimus Prime spoke, his body suddenly began to transform, and soon he changed his appearance under David’s gaze. The

red body and blue legs were very different from the previous red and blue mixed style, but David recognized that this was Optimus Prime’s classic style.

“You are…”

“This is what I looked like when I was on Cybertron.” Optimus Prime also looked at himself: “The fire in my body has returned to its peak state, and it has even become stronger.”

Perhaps in order to adapt to the peak state of the fire, Optimus Prime’s body has also “restored” to its peak appearance.

“I think you look more handsome this way.”

“I think so too.”

Optimus Prime searched for a more adaptable car model from his records, and then transformed into a red flat-head truck under David’s gaze.

This is not the end. After Optimus Prime transformed, a space transmission wave suddenly appeared not far behind him, and then a car with a clear Autobot logo appeared behind the red truck and connected with the truck head.

Then, the truck head that Optimus Prime transformed into separated from the car head again, but this time the car head did not disappear and remained there, and Optimus Prime transformed back to human form.

Looking back at the carriage, Optimus Prime sighed, “I thought I would never have the chance to summon this old friend again!”

“…”

David, who had been watching the fun from the side, spread his hands, and Optimus Prime explained to David.

Optimus Prime has always had a carriage, which is strictly speaking his arsenal, but Optimus Prime’s fire was very weak before, and he couldn’t summon the carriage from the “different space”.

In the original movie story, Optimus Prime got the fire from Skyfire and the leadership matrix, which made the fire powerful again, and then he “re-summoned” the carriage and stored the external accessories provided by Skyfire in it.

Now there is no fire provided by Skyfire, so he didn’t summon his carriage again until he realized the energy of the Holy Light Fire and restored it to its peak.

“So that’s how it is.”

After listening to Optimus Prime’s explanation, David looked at the carriage again and thought that it was just used to store weapons. Isn’t it a waste to have such a large carriage?

“Have you ever considered upgrading the carriage?”

“How?”

“Make the carriage also have the ability to transform and merge with yourself.” David thought of Renlai, who looked almost the same as Optimus Prime.

Renlai who could merge with the carriage was called Super Renlai, so Optimus Prime who merged with the carriage could also be called Super Optimus Prime!

After listening to David’s suggestion, Optimus Prime thought seriously for a few seconds: “It is not technically impossible to do it.”

Optimus Prime, who obtained the Holy Light, not only became more powerful, but also continued to become stronger. He did not have to worry about not being able to recover after consuming a lot of energy. He had enough energy to drive a larger body.

“You can try to study it.”
