[Chapter 302: The Army Marches South]
Confrontation, sparring, and fighting!
What a standard process. David watched for a while and found that the red-haired female warrior had good skills. She fought as beautifully as she could, with all kinds of rotations, jumps, and high kicks. The armor on her body did not affect her movements at all. The strong
man fighting with her also cooperated very well in punching, tripping, and falling. When he was kicked away, he would add force to his feet to make himself fly farther and more embarrassed.
Not only that, David also found that the people watching around were also very cooperative. While cheering and cheering, they also did not forget to popularize various information about the red-haired female warrior to the people around them.
It is said that this red-haired female warrior is a soldier from a town called Salt Lake in the west of the Kingdom of Tiran, named Queenie.
Because of her good figure and beautiful face, she is quite famous in the local and surrounding areas, and is often harassed.
But Queenie didn’t like people paying too much attention to her figure and appearance. Instead, she worked hard to hone her martial arts and became an excellent warrior. She has now become a captain of the Salt Lake Legion and is likely to become an excellent female knight in the future.
The various intelligence information is very detailed. David just stood aside and watched the excitement for a while, and he was about to know all the ancestors of Queenie’s family.
Regarding this situation, David was just watching the excitement and watched the excitement of Earl Sutton-Stewart.
This routine is obviously not aimed at himself.
Because now everyone in the capital knows that Earl Sutton-Stewart has recently been particularly fond of female warriors and knights with a fit body and beautiful appearance. He has also been warned by His Majesty the King that he is not allowed to attack the female knights of the Tilan Knights and the Guards Knights.
During the few days that David came to the capital, Sutton also captured a female mercenary who happened to come to the capital of Tilan.
As for himself?
The reputation of Earl David Glamorgan in the capital is “the luckiest man since the founding of the Kingdom of Tiran; the fiancé of Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia”. Only a person with a problem in his brain would use beauty to deal with him under the eyes of the capital of Tiran, His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
“It’s a bit boring. Do you want to continue to visit the camp?” Sutton was a little curious at first, but he immediately felt bored after finding that it was all routine. He had no interest in such a target that came to him on his own initiative. He didn’t need to bother to attack it at all, which would make him lose a lot of fun.
As for the beauty? Earl Sutton-Stewart is not a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. What kind of beauty has he not seen?
At this time, the red-haired beauty in the field had completely “knocked down” the strong man on the opposite side. After a series of operations, she showed her “ability” very well. But when she observed the target with her peripheral vision, she found that the earl didn’t even look at her, but was talking to another young noble next to her.
“Who is this person?”
Seeing the other party looking at her, the red-haired beauty Queenie immediately put on a cold face and continued to maintain her hard-working personality of “not wanting to rely on her face”.
Although she didn’t know the other party’s identity, since he was with Earl Sutton-Stewart, he should not be an ordinary person. In addition to that face…Queenie felt that if she couldn’t attract Earl Sutton-Stewart, it would be good to attract this young noble.
But just when she glanced over there with expectation, she saw that the young man and Earl Sutton-Stewart turned their horses and left.
“…”
It seems that the plan has failed. Queenie bit her lip lightly. She was very confident about her appearance and figure, but the lustful earl didn’t even look at her, and the young noble next to her just glanced at her twice.
She didn’t think she was not beautiful enough. Queenie thought the problem might be with the person who made the plan: although everyone in the capital knew that Earl Stewart liked to find female warriors and female knights recently, it had been so long, maybe Earl Stewart was tired of it?
As for the other person, maybe the young noble doesn’t like this style…
“I feel that ordinary female knights are a bit boring recently.” Sutton looked at David next to him: “Your visit to the capital this time has given me new inspiration.”
“Huh?”
David had a question mark on his face. He was talking about business most of the time when he came to the capital this time, right? Even if Sutton showed off to him that he had captured another female mercenary, he would just respond casually and then talk about more serious topics.
Sutton suddenly said this. What inspiration did he give him?
“I suddenly feel that we should not limit our targets to humans!”
“…”
David scratched his head with his fingers. He could only say, “As long as you like it, Lord Earl!” He didn’t express his opinion on this topic too much.
“Speaking of which, David, your Winter City seems to have many races! I’ve even seen dark elves in Winter City.” Sutton thought it was amazing. David’s Winter City not only had humans and elves, but also a magical race like Cybertronians, and dark elves, a race that is almost never seen in the human kingdom: “You really should bring the dark elves to the capital.”
David was speechless. Why would he bring the dark elves to the capital? Would it be convenient for Sutton-Stewart to capture Enid?
“If you bring the dark elves with you, the people of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt will be even more unhappy.”
“Ah?”
“Don’t you know that there are more conflicts between the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt and the dark elves?”
Among the major human kingdoms, only the territory of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt is adjacent to the wild land where the dark elves live. Sutton didn’t know that the dark elf in Winter City came from the Evernight Empire in the west.
“And when the people of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt see the dark elves appearing on our side, they will probably think that the Kingdom of Tilan has reached an alliance agreement with the dark elves, and it is not impossible to withdraw the troops directly.”
David felt very magical. How did this earl manage to seamlessly switch from a casual topic to such a serious military strategy?
Coming out of the temporary camp, during the period, I met a female knight who wanted to show her charm. Unfortunately, the script of this female knight was obviously not as exquisite and attentive as that of the one named Queenie, and there were not enough extras around her, so she was directly ignored by Earl Sutton-Stewart.
David looked at her for a few times, and her appearance was also ordinary, so he ignored it.
Back at the old house, David had a lot of free time in the following period. He had enough time to talk to Winter City every day and learn about the situation in his territory.
According to Eva’s report, everything in the Northern Plains was developing steadily according to the original plan.
Fewer and fewer orcs were being cleared, and there were no more gathering points such as orc villages, towns, and factories on the Northern Plains.
As the orcs found it increasingly difficult to find a place to live in the Northern Plains, they began to flee to the hills and mountains in the eastern part of the plains. After entering those areas, the speed of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment’s clearance began to decline due to the complex terrain.
It is said that some orcs have built ships and are preparing to escape from the Northern Plains by sea.
As for whether these orcs are going to return to their hometown of Asegos Island or go south along the coastline to find other new homes, David is not sure, and the Cybertron Legion has not investigated in such detail.
For the rest, the first semester of Winter Academy is still in progress, and it will take several years for these students to be trained. The
gradual improvement of roads, transportation, and factories, and the increase in population have enabled all walks of life in Winter City to develop rapidly, and they finally don’t have to worry about not being able to hire people.
In comparison, the slight security problem is completely acceptable!
In addition, Cecil returned to Winter City. After spreading many traces of his activities in the Wild Land (Lost Land), he also tried to invite the tribesmen there to live in Winter City, but unfortunately they were all rejected.
These dark elves who ran to the Lost Land knew more or less about the grievances between humans and dark elves; those who
didn’t know originally, because of the frequent conflicts and frictions with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, had new hatreds, and generally held distrust of humans, naturally would not run to a city of human lords to live.
In this regard, David could only shrug his shoulders and said, “It won’t be me who regrets in the future anyway”, and threw this group of dark elves into a corner.
Time passed day by day, and most of the lords who received the summons had already arrived in the capital. A small number of lords who did not respond were identified as “having other thoughts”. King Abelson specially sent someone to inform David to prepare to follow the army south to White Rock City.
“Well, the leisurely days are over.”
The army assembled, and David, who changed into the Lightbringer suit, finally saw the Tilan Knights, whom he had heard countless times but never really seen (Gareth Stanton and Floyd said, “Sir, have you forgotten us?”).
The armor was bright and shiny, and it also had gorgeous and complicated patterns on it and was inlaid with gems containing energy fluctuations.
David knew that all these armors were new equipment of the Kingdom of Tilan, with a lot of enchantment effects such as strength enhancement, speed enhancement, reaction enhancement, and defense enhancement, which made the knights wearing armor have more powerful combat power.
To put it bluntly, this is a magic version of power armor!
However, the lords around them did not know this. They only felt that the armor of the Tilan Knights was becoming more and more fancy. Has His Majesty King Abelson finally reached the age of pursuing gorgeousness and extravagance?
David found that a small number of the Guards Knights also wore new equipment. These knights were responsible for protecting the safety of His Majesty the King and his important ministers.
Compared to the Tiran Knights and the Royal Guards Knights, the combined forces, wearing all kinds of clothes and holding all kinds of flags, were really a ragtag army in every sense of the word.
