Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 315



[Chapter 315: Winter Earth]

When David first left Winter City and went to the capital to respond to the call of His Majesty the King, he was simply doing his job.

King Abelson did not force David to send a certain number of troops, so at that time, David thought that he would take a few winter knights and companions with him to join in the fun, and when the fun was almost over, he would return to Winter City and continue to wait for the population to increase. He

never expected that the Temple would “send” him such a great gift.

Although not all the residents of the capital of Tilan were resurrected, this actually solved one of the problems: the noble forces in the capital of Tilan were complicated, and these nobles had their own territories and industries, and most of these assets were concentrated near the capital.

David wanted to catch all the people in the capital and bring them to Winter City, but this group of people was actually a huge obstacle.

However, it was this group of people who were valued and bribed by the Temple.

Now this group of people have all become part of the bomb, and their souls have completely disappeared. David has no way to resurrect them, and they will not cause trouble for David for various reasons.

The remaining people looked at their homes that had turned into ruins. Although they were reluctant to leave, most of them did not have such strong resistance to moving to the “God” who resurrected them and gave them new life.

Especially the civilians, when they learned that they could cultivate the fields with their own hands and get their own land after going to Winter City, these civilians accepted going to Winter City the fastest.

This is because the land around the capital of Tiran was seriously annexed, and there were not many free farmers. Most of them were contract farmers working for the nobles.

As for the nobles and members of the Knights, seeing that His Majesty Abelson did not speak, they were not prepared to express their opinions.

“Next, I have to trouble you.”

David knew that bringing everyone back to Winter City would inevitably cause some problems in the future, but compared to the benefits obtained, those things could be solved slowly.

Moreover, as long as he had absolute military power, even if a small number of people did something wrong, it would not cause too much trouble.

Jaina looked at the large groups of people around her and rubbed her temples with a headache: “There is no way to teleport so many people back to Winter City at once.”

“Send the civilians first.” Civilians are relatively easy to manage and will not cause trouble.

After David instructed Jaina, he contacted Eva and Weatherby and asked them to prepare to receive a large number of people.

When they heard that the lord was going to send all the people in the capital of Tiran to Winter City, Eva and Weatherby were confused at first and didn’t understand what was going on.

The two reacted quickly and immediately entered the working state: it is not important why the people in the capital of Tiran have to migrate to Winter City. What is important is that Winter City should come up with a resettlement plan as soon as possible.

“The easiest way is to build a camp and ensure that everyone has a shelter from the wind and rain.”

“Laura will go back with the first batch of people.”

Tell Laura directly how many tents and supplies are needed, and Laura can go to her own world to purchase them.

In fact, given the situation of most civilians in this world, even if Winter City does not provide them with accommodation, the civilians will not have any complaints or dissatisfaction.

As long as the lord allows civilians to settle near Winter City and allows them to reclaim wasteland, then even if there is nothing, they can build a new home on their own.

But David does not want Winter City, which he built according to his expectations, to become similar to the situation of the capital of Tiran.

Anyway, as long as they live in the temporary camp for a while, the diggers and craftsmen in Winter City will soon be able to build a large number of houses. Maybe they can build a batch of apartment buildings?

“Temporary camps, new residential areas, whether to continue to expand the current agricultural areas or open up new agricultural areas, these things should be planned in detail as soon as possible.”

After giving Weatherby a new task, David asked Eva and Elizabeth to say hello. The arrival of a large number of new residents will definitely have a severe impact on the existing public security. Elizabeth, the sheriff, will face a huge challenge next.

After some arrangements, David turned his head and looked around.

Because of the full support of Abelson, some local nobles in the capital of Tilan, the soldiers of the Tilan Knights and the Knights of the Guards were responsible for executing the orders issued by David, the resurrected people were ready and had already selected the first batch of people to be teleported.

At this time, the Winter Knights who received the order to arrive on the Quinjet also arrived in the capital. Although they arrived a little late, the arrival of the Winter Knights shocked the audience.

Especially the soldiers of the Tilan Knights, the Guards Knights and other troops who had been severely taught a lesson by the Winter Knights before, seeing that there were so many extremely terrifying black heavy armor knights, they really didn’t dare to raise the slightest dissatisfaction.

After talking to Gareth Stanton for a few words and ordering the Winter Knights to maintain order, David went to find Abelson.

While David was arranging various things, Abelson found his wife Rosie Stewart and learned a very bad news.

His eldest son Granville did not resurrect, not because David did not deliberately resurrect the prince. After David’s explanation, Abelson already knew the root cause of the explosion.

It was not surprising that his second son colluded with the Temple and became part of the bomb; but he did not expect that his eldest son was also involved with the Temple.

Of course, it is also possible that the eldest son’s illness was caused by the Temple, and he was implicated.

The eldest son also became part of the “bomb”, and his wife was indeed taking care of Granville, who was “sick and bedridden”, and died as a result.

Compared with Abelson who quickly sorted out his mood, Rosie Stewart was reborn, but she did not have much joy. She was still immersed in the sadness of losing her two sons.

Sophia was accompanying her mother, comforting her mother, and telling her about the next arrangement: everyone would go to Winter City, and Sophia could accompany her mother for a long time, which also relieved Rosie’s mood a little.

Next, everyone kept busy with their own things, and the number of people around them continued to decrease. Archmage Jaina Proudmoore was not only amazingly powerful in teleportation magic, but also had amazing magic reserves. The continuous use of teleportation magic did not cause her any pressure. David did not see her showing any fatigue.

Until the last group of people gathered, including His Majesty the King and the last remaining knights and soldiers, that was the last group of people.

This time, Jaina not only teleported people back, but also wrapped the Quinjet parked around.

“If you feel tired, I and the Winter Knights can take the Quinjet back.”

“It’s just a few teleports, it won’t be too much for me to bear.”

“In that case… let’s go back to Winter City!”

David hadn’t finished speaking yet, and a blue-purple magic glow had already appeared around him. Soon the light emitted by the arcane energy engulfed everyone. When the arcane glow in everyone’s sight disappeared, and when they could see the surroundings clearly again, they had returned to Winter City.

“I’m back!”

David looked around. He and others were on the east side of Winter City, and they were on the “highway” leading to Snowfield Castle.

At this time, an area on the open space on the north side of the highway had been circled as a temporary camp. Not only were the residents of the Tyran Capital who arrived earlier busy, but there were also many Cybertronians and craftsmen from Winter City who were busy building temporary residences for these people.

Weatherby Swan came to supervise the work in person and waited for Lord David to come back.

However, Weatherby had no chance to come up to report the situation. Abelson beside David had already asked the question: “This is Winter City…”

Looking at the flat, clean and solid road under his feet, Abelson looked back curiously and found that the road extended to a place he could not see and still did not see the end. He asked curiously: “Where does this road lead to?”

“Snowfield Castle!”

“Oh!”

Snowfield Castle is a fortress located in the central area of the Northern Plains. It was originally a multi-purpose fortress town built by Iron Tree Castle to control the entire Northern Plains.

But it soon became a border fortress of Winter City. It should have been restored to its important transportation hub function in the Northern Plains, right?

Whether it is an important border fortress or a transportation hub in the Northern Plains, it is normal to build a road to connect with Winter City.

What amazed Abelson was the spaciousness, flatness and solidity of this road. He didn’t even know what materials this road was built with.

But compared with the Winter City in front of him, he felt that this road seemed nothing.

“Is this Winter City?”

Abelson looked ahead. There was no wall surrounding the city. There were countless houses standing in a row. It was much wider than the road under his feet, and there were beautiful roads on both sides for people to walk on.

He only saw a small part of the city from afar. Combined with the report he had heard at the time, Abelson had a preliminary understanding of Winter City: Winter City was a city completely different from all the places on the Brunnia continent.

No matter how detailed the report was or how vivid the subordinates’ description was, it was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.

In comparison, the vehicles traveling in the city and the huge Cybertronians were not as shocking as the city brought to Abelson.

Vehicles that were not pulled by livestock were not that rare compared to airplanes, and the huge Cybertronians were just a relatively unique race. For the Brunnia continent where mysterious powers and various intelligent life forms existed, they were nothing at all.

To manage the city into such a beautiful appearance, it was definitely not something that could be done by relying on magical races and some magical mysterious powers.

Abelson began to look forward to his life in Winter City.
