Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 309



[Chapter 309 Not a pity at all]

The spear shot out like a dragon, the world shook, and the sky was broken by a spear… None of these happened!

From the appearance of the Sea King’s spear to the piercing of the gray-robed man’s heart, everything happened in an instant. When the smoke and dust dissipated and the gravel fell to the ground, the gray-robed man had been hanging on the spear without a sound. At this time, he could still stand there, all thanks to David who was holding the spear at the other end.

David quietly looked at the gray-robed man in front of him. As his life was cut off, the face under the gray-robed man’s hood gradually revealed his true appearance. To David’s surprise, this gray-robed man turned out to be a young woman with a good appearance.

“Huh? I seem to have seen this person somewhere.”

When she asked David for help, Sofia knew that the crisis had been resolved. She didn’t think David would be too late to save her.

She had the amulet that David gave her before leaving, which was enough to support David until he arrived.

As for her sister? Sofia saw clearly that the gray-robed man wanted to control her sister to do something, so he would not hurt her. She didn’t have to worry about her sister Lana’s safety at all.

Sure enough, things happened exactly as she thought. As soon as she asked for help, David arrived and quickly solved the enemy and eliminated the crisis.

Sophia ran to David happily and wanted to give him a big hug. She happened to see the true appearance of the gray-robed man opposite.

“It looks like a maid in the castle.”

“She is my maid.” With the death of the gray-robed man, Lana also returned to normal and regained control of her body.

But her face was still ugly. What happened today was just slapping her in the face. The true identity of the gray-robed man in front of her made her even more angry: the people closest to her have been infiltrated. Is there anyone she can trust in Baiyan City?

David has already pulled back the spear. Under the water flow, he ensured that there would not be any blood on the golden spear, and then put the spear away.

“This person should not be the real mastermind behind the scenes.”

“I know, it’s the Temple…”

“No, what I mean is that this maid, like you, is under someone’s spell.”

David observed for a few times and figured out the situation. The energy fluctuations on the maid dissipated too quickly, and she was not strong enough to control others at will. All these situations showed a fact: this maid was actually a victim.

“Is that so?”

Hearing that the maid was also controlled by someone, Lana’s face looked a little better. It seemed that Baiyan City was not completely infiltrated, and the Temple bastards still needed to use some means to come to her.

“By the way, the two guards outside the door…” Lana suddenly remembered that there were two traitors guarding outside the door, and immediately reminded David not to let the two guys go.

“Don’t worry, they have been subdued.”

The door opened, and Sylvanas threw two heavily armored guards on the ground with one hand each. Looking at their condition, although not very good, they were still alive.

“How to deal with these two guys?” The former Ranger General still pretended to be David’s guard and came to the castle. After David received Sofia’s call for help, David called Sylvanas.

Compared with Jaina, it is more appropriate for Sylvanas to take action in this situation. Jaina’s attack spell that is locked after one use is better to be used in more important times.

“These two are guards knights, just leave them to His Majesty the King.” Interrogating spies and other tasks have nothing to do with David, and he doesn’t want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Guards Knights.

Lana did not object to David’s decision. Although she wanted to deal with these two traitors and spies herself, the identity of the other party’s Guards Knights gave her no reason to intervene.

After wasting so much time, Abelson also came with a large number of guards. Looking at the two guards knights lying on the ground and the body of a maid in a gray robe, Abelson’s face turned dark again.

The mood that was relieved when chatting with David just now fell back into the abyss.

Has the Temple’s infiltration of the Kingdom of Tiran reached this extent? He originally thought that he was already very alert, but he didn’t expect that these guys would do so many things in secret.

After he listened to the explanations of David, Sophia and Lana and knew the details, his face seemed to transform into the Lord of the Abyss, swallowing everything up.

Then he thought of a terrible possibility: “Not good, Royal Capital!”

Why did the Holy Gaunt Kingdom have such great determination to launch an attack on the Dilan Kingdom?

As various situations continued to occur, Abelson had guessed part of the truth.

Baiyan City had been infiltrated like a sieve by the enemy, so what about the capital?

Just looking at the spies and traitors that kept appearing around him, he knew that the situation in the capital was definitely not much better than that in Baiyan City. After all, even the Royal Guards Knights had been infiltrated by the enemy, so how could other “places” be more difficult to infiltrate than the Royal Guards Knights?

At this moment, Abelson was faced with a choice: return to the capital immediately? Stabilize the core of the kingdom, and then slowly deal with the Holy Gaunt Kingdom; or stay in Baiyan City, first severely damage the army of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom, cut off its possibility of continuing to move north, and then return to the capital to clean up the mess?

He didn’t hesitate for long at all, two seconds was enough for him to make a decision: the capital was the key to Abelson’s rule over the entire Dilan Kingdom, and he couldn’t watch the Dilan capital fall into chaos no matter what, otherwise he would only have a false name as a king. If that

really happened, he would even have to rely on his daughter and son-in-law, which he absolutely could not accept.

“David, I may need to borrow your Quinjet.”

“No problem.”

David certainly would not refuse. He had a feeling that the Kingdom of Tiran was going to be in complete chaos. He was also considering whether to find a reason to return to his own Winter City, and then quietly wait for a group of people to beat his brains into dog brains, and then bring the Winter Knights out to clean up the mess.

Although it was agreed to return to the capital, there were many things that needed to be arranged in this situation.

Abelson asked David to make preparations for returning to the capital first, and he made various explanations and arrangements, leaving his troops, including the Guards Knights, in Baiyan City, and handing them all over to Earl Sutton-Stewart.

His wife’s younger brother has now become the commander-in-chief of the southern front of the Kingdom of Tiran. Even Marquis Otto of Baiyan City and his daughter Lana must obey the orders of Earl Sutton-Stewart.

Due to his special status and the recent series of “rebellion” incidents, no one objected to His Majesty Abelson’s decision. After being an idle noble for many years and doing nothing but eating, drinking, playing and fucking girls all day, Earl Sutton-Stewart finally ushered in his peak moment in his career. This

seems to prove once again that no matter how hard you work, it is not as good as having a good background.

“I don’t ask you to completely defeat the army of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom. I only ask you to stabilize the southern front of the kingdom and don’t let the troops of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom enter the kingdom.”

Abelson’s requirements for Earl Sutton-Stewart are not high.

“As long as you can defend Baiyan City.” As for the rebellion in the surrounding territories, what should we do? Abelson allowed Earl Sutton-Stewart to ignore those rebellions and focus on dealing with the army of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom.

He planned to completely sort out the capital, and then go back to deal with the invasion of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom and those rebellious lords.

After making various arrangements, the dark sky has turned pale.

Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Abelson felt that this might be a good sign, which might mean that the darkest moment of the Kingdom of Tilan was about to pass and light would soon come.

At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart: the attack launched by the Temple this time might be a good thing for him!

He has always been careful to guard against the infiltration of the Temple, but he was not very clear before how the Temple had infiltrated the King of Tilan.

Now with the outbreak of the war, the Temple has taken out various hidden means, which also gave Abelson the opportunity to completely clean it up.

As long as it can survive this time, the Kingdom of Tilan will usher in a brighter future!

With a long sigh of relief, Abelson would not choose to retreat because of such a small problem. He was full of fighting spirit and looked forward to the Kingdom of Tilan reaching a new peak under his governance.

Abelson, full of fighting spirit, walked to the open space at the main entrance of the castle, where David’s three Quinjet fighters were parked.

Looking at the three gray metal giant birds in front of him, Abelson suddenly had a strong urge: he should go to Winter City in person to take a good look.

After I solve all the troubles in the capital, I will take my wife and two sons to have a look!

Lana, who was not far behind him, had a similar idea. She was going to wait until the war was over and everything was back on track, and then go to the northern plains to have a look. She was very curious about what kind of city the magical place described by Sophia was.

The gray metal giant bird and the winter knights wearing heavy black armor that covered their entire bodies without revealing a single bit, all of this made Lana curious.

Especially last night, she saw with her own eyes that Sophia could take out a small thing and ask for help from people outside the barrier; afterwards, she also heard the details of the previous war. After knowing how amazing the performance of these winter knights in heavy black armor was on the battlefield, she hoped that her guard knights would also have such a strong fighting power.

For a moment, she envied her sister Sofia. She wished she hadn’t married so early. Now it seemed that the Lord of Winter City, Earl of Glamorgan, had greater development potential than Marquis Otto of White Rock City. If Winter City was really as powerful as Sofia described, Lana even felt that she could consider that position.

“What a pity…”
