Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 299



[Chapter 299 It’s time to show your loyalty to the kingdom]

Sutton-Stewart wants to see the Holy Light vs. Light Magic, but he may have to wait for a while.

Although His Majesty King Abelson has issued a call to the lords of the country, even if all the lords respond to His Majesty at the first time.

But it takes a lot of time for them to receive the order, make a series of arrangements for their own territories, mobilize the accompanying troops, and then set out and finally arrive in the capital.

Lords like David who came earlier need to stay in the capital for a long time waiting for the arrival of other lords.

But unlike other lords, David has a residence in the capital, and the winter knights he led also entered the capital directly for various reasons.

After other lords arrived in the capital, the soldiers they led had to stay outside the city. The soldiers would set up camp in a specially reserved open space near the capital, and the lords would only bring a few confidants and followers into the capital.

But David and others came to the capital in a Quinjet, and the winter knights went directly into the city, even into the inner city, and lived in the city.

No one came to remind David. His Majesty the King did not say anything after he knew about it. He just said “I know” in a flat tone. This made the guards responsible for the defense of the capital completely at a loss as to how to deal with it.

Considering that David, Earl of Glamorgan, actually only brought ten soldiers, they were considered as guards accompanying the lord into the city!

As for the elven archers? Female mages? They should all be the confidantes of Lord Glamorgan… Well, that’s it!

Lord Glamorgan is so lucky. Not only has he been favored by Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia, but he also has so many good friends around him. It’s really enviable!

“…”

Sylvanas, who was regarded as a good friend of Lord Glamorgan, ignored the ambiguous and curious eyes of the Tilan soldiers and was too lazy to explain this misunderstanding.

Anyway, these soldiers didn’t dare to say anything unpleasant in front of her.

“No matter what world, similar things are very common!” Jaina looked around for a few times. Those ambiguous and curious eyes would also be cast on her, and she didn’t care too much about these things.

“It’s the same for both humans and high elves.” As a high elf, Sylvanas did not think that high elves were superior, so superior that they could crush humans. In her opinion, humans also have many advantages that are worthy of recognition and even learning from the high elves.

For example, the high elves have long seen the talent of humans in arcane magic.

“This capital of the Kingdom of Tiran is too ordinary.” After a man and an elf took a general tour in the inner city, they found that there was nothing to see in the capital of the Kingdom of Tiran.

Compared with Winter City, it is too backward, and compared with Silvermoon City or Kul Tiras in Quel’Thalas, it lacks enough characteristics.

This is a very ordinary human city. The two women who have broadened their horizons and even learned more advanced knowledge can’t arouse much interest in such a backward city.

The only thing that attracts them is the unique and rare materials belonging to this world sold in some shops.

The two women found that the magic materials in the shops were not much, and they were all very ordinary low-end materials. It is said that the high-end materials have been taken away by the Royal Alchemy Workshop, and ordinary shops are now out of stock.

Sylvanas thought of the weapons and equipment she had used in the Royal Alchemy Workshop. It seemed that it would be difficult to buy various rare magic materials in the capital of Tiran for quite some time in the future, unless the Kingdom of Tiran completed the equipment upgrade for its own army.

After coming out of the shop, the two wandered around other shops and met Michaela and Arcee who were also out shopping. Michaela wanted to see the capital and buy some souvenirs to bring back to her father. Arcee was just accompanying Michaela.

Two humans, a high elf and a Cybertron warrior, the four women simply went shopping together, helped Michaela pick out some small ornaments that were considered to be the characteristics of the capital of Tiran, and then returned to the old house of the Stewart family together.

When the four people entered the mansion, the people hiding in the dark left one after another, and only a few of them still hid in the dark by various means and continued to stare at the old house of the Stewart family.

Those who left went in different directions. Some of them, after gathering all the intelligence information, brought the news to the palace. The shadow guards reported all the information of the day to the ruler of the Kingdom of Tiran, King Abelson.

“The elf Sylvanas Windrunner who came to the capital with Earl Glamorgan is a very powerful warrior. She is good at bows and arrows and can easily draw a strong bow that ordinary soldiers can’t draw.”

“Jaina Proudmoore is a mage, and her specific strength is unknown.”

“Michaela Baines, the logistics officer of the Winter Army, according to intelligence information, this Michaela and her father are responsible for the maintenance and repair of various vehicles and equipment for the Winter Army. According to investigations, the heavy armor worn by the Winter Knights who came to the capital with Earl Glamorgan is also maintained by Michaela.”

“Oh?” Abelson, who didn’t care much about female elf warriors and female mages, suddenly became interested when he heard this. This Michaela seemed to be a talent.

After all, female elf archers are not that rare, and female mages are even more common. However, the person who possesses the powerful secret of the Winter Knight is several times more valuable than a simple archer or mage.

If this Michaela was not David’s subordinate, he would have ordered to try to poach her.

“Arcee is a Cybertronian with a druid-like ability to transform. The pink fighter that flew with the three Quinjet fighters was transformed by this Arcee.”

“Cybertronian…” This is not the first time that the word Cybertronian has appeared in the intelligence about Winter City. Abelson and the Kingdom of Tiran still don’t know much about this mysterious race.

At present, we only know that there are a large number of Cybertronians in Winter City. It is said that their hometown was destroyed by a disaster, and the whole family had to look for a new home everywhere. Finally, they came to Winter City and settled there.

There are many Cybertronians in Winter City. These Cybertronians usually appear as huge metal giants. It is said that Winter City can be built so quickly because of the help of Cybertronians.

The intelligence describes Cybertronians as nearly ten meters tall and the shortest ones are more than three meters tall. What’s wrong with Arcee? No matter how you look at it, this Arcee is a human, right?

“It seems that this Cybertronian named Arcee has the ability to transform into a human form.”

Abelson did not speak. Looking at the shadow guard who was reporting to him, he suddenly had an idea: Can these Cybertronians be used by the royal family of Tiran?

After the Cybertrons lost their homes, they could choose to live in Winter City or in the capital of Tiran!

If they were willing, Abelson would be willing to set aside a piece of land as a new home for the Cybertronians.

He even suspected that the Cybertronians played a huge role in the development of Winter City – especially the heavy armor called Blizzard Power Armor, which looked very “Cybertron” style. Maybe it was made by the Cybertronians for David.

This matter is not urgent, and Abelson does not want to use extreme means to cause David’s dissatisfaction.

In fact, his plan is very moderate: after the end of this rebellion and the possible border war, urge David-Earl of Glamorgan to marry his daughter Sophia as soon as possible.

Then he would let Earl David Glamorgan deal with the war in the northern plains, and then take the opportunity of rewarding David to stay in the capital to assist him.

David came to the capital to assist him, and the resources of Winter City would naturally be used by him.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. David had sworn allegiance to him, and Winter City was his direct territory.

This was also a major reason why Abelson knew that there were many strange things in Winter City, but he let it go – as long as his territory was well governed, he would only be happy and would not feel anything wrong.

He didn’t think David would be dissatisfied and refuse to come to the capital. Abelson was ready to give David enough power. He believed that David would get a bigger platform when he came to the capital, and he was looking forward to the surprises that David would bring to him.

“Who else is watching Earl Glamorgan’s companions today?”

Abelson, who had thought about it, stopped asking David about the intelligence of his companions, and asked about other spies. In fact, these spies from various forces in the capital were also the targets of the Tilan Shadow Guards.

“The number of secret sentries has been reduced by more than half compared to the previous few days. The remaining secret sentries mainly come from a few families.” The shadow guard reported the names of these families to His Majesty the King one by one.

When he heard the names of several families, Abelson snorted softly. He was already a little annoyed by the secret actions of these families.

This time, he planned to bring the heads and first heirs of these families with him. It was time for these families to show their loyalty to the kingdom.

However, when writing the list of loyal martyrs of the kingdom, Abelson still crossed out a few names appropriately, mainly those families with only one heir…

“This is the first heir to the Kingdom of Tilan, His Royal Highness Prince Granville Tilan.”

After the introduction of Earl Sutton-Stewart, David knew that this man who suddenly came over and looked like a younger version of Abelson, but always had a cold face and looked very majestic, was Sophia’s eldest brother.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Your Highness.”

“It’s also an honor to meet you, Earl of Glamorgan.”

Prince Granville always maintained a serious expression, and his cold face that kept strangers away was still obviously dissatisfied at this time.

“As Sophia’s brother, I have to remind the Earl of Glamorgan that your living here is not only against the rules, but also extremely disrespectful.”
