[Chapter 320 One bite after another]
of collecting resources from other worlds to supply Winter City and ensure the rapid development of Winter City did not come out of nowhere.
When David gradually figured out the function of the golden finger, he thought of this possibility, but he did not think too much about it at that time, because the strength of Winter City at that time was not enough to carry out such a large amount of cross-dimensional resource plunder.
Now Winter City has initially acquired some strength, but David has only set his sights on the world where Helen’s hometown, the Kingdom of Sparta, is located, and the world of the walking dead where Rick is located.
The former is still in the backward era before Christ. As long as he provides some help to the Kingdom of Sparta, the Kingdom of Sparta will help him find various useful resources. Later, as the industrial capabilities of Winter City are improved, David will also send some advanced machinery to the Kingdom of Sparta.
The latter is a pure doomsday world. If you want to collect various resources in this world, you need David to send people to collect various resources in person.
With the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Winter City, they can easily crush in that world without any danger.
As for Eva’s Red Alert world…
“No rush…”
Eva’s world is the world line where the Empire of the Rising Sun wins. If he leads his army there, he can be considered a savior, right?
However, the Empire of the Rising Sun is quite powerful, and Winter City’s current combat power is not enough to completely eliminate this force in one go.
Especially since Winter City’s development focus is on the Brunnia continent, it is impossible to send all its forces to another plane to fight.
If it is just a fight, it will take a long time and may also make wedding clothes for others, which will be a big loss.
Walking back to her office, she took the opportunity to ask about the progress of various affairs in Winter City.
Eva did not mention the previous topic again. She also realized that Winter City’s strength is not strong enough now. If she wants to “save” her world, it is far from enough to rely on only a few hundred Spartan heavy infantry and dozens of winter knights.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Eva began to report the specific progress of several tasks in Winter City. Generally speaking, everything is going according to plan.
The announcement of David becoming the Grand Duke of Winter has been sent out. As for the announcements of other places in the Kingdom of Tiran, the nobles of the capital of Tiran need to serve as envoys and take the Quinjet to various places to notify them.
David does not need to pay attention to these things, and his subordinates will naturally handle them.
In fact, many things do not need David to watch every day. He went out with His Majesty the King before, and Winter City is still developing steadily.
This is the normal state after everything is on track. Unless there is an emergency, David, the lord, will be more and more idle on weekdays.
If this situation continues, when Winter City develops to a certain scale and various departments are gradually improved, David, the lord, may not encounter a few matters that need to be handled personally for several years.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the temporary camp was gradually improved. Ordinary people who migrated from the capital of Tiran had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
In addition, Winter City has provided these people with various options, and many people have begun to work in Winter City.
For ordinary civilians, they were very satisfied with the arrangement made by the Duke of Glamorgan, especially when they saw beautiful houses being built one after another, and the Duke of Glamorgan personally promised that these houses would be sold and rented to civilians at a lower price to ensure that every civilian had a warm house to live in. They were full of expectations for their new life in Winter City.
Apart from anything else, when they lived in the capital of Tiran, even if the civilians had money, they could not buy such a beautiful house.
This alone was enough to make many civilians happy, and when these people learned about the approximate prices in Winter City and the income of most jobs, they were even happier.
They found that they could indeed afford these houses and would not bear a heavy burden, and the temptation of the house also brought unexpected surprises, that is, many people chose to work in various jobs, hoping to earn money to buy new houses as soon as possible, instead of rushing to reclaim wasteland and obtain their own land as David speculated.
“The proportion of free farmers in the capital of Tiran is very low, so these people have become accustomed to ‘working for others’ and do not think there is anything wrong with living like this.”
At the same time, these civilians are worried that the number of these beautiful new houses is limited. If they cannot buy their own houses in the first place, they will not have the opportunity to live in such beautiful houses in the future.
Especially at this moment when many nobles are waving gold coins to buy houses.
Compared with the common people who have to work and save money, the nobles basically live in their new homes in Winter City.
Some nobles with rich family backgrounds are not even satisfied with this. After figuring out the situation in Winter City, they will wander around the city, looking for a favorite ‘homestead’, and then buy the land that has not yet started to build a house, wanting to build a larger and more beautiful manor.
In the words of these nobles, only in this way can they show their extraordinaryness!
Of course, many nobles are dissatisfied with themselves and the common people living together on the same street, and strongly suggest that the Grand Duke of Glamorgan divide a separate aristocratic living area, and only allow nobles to buy houses and live in this area.
As it should be, the noble area should be close to the Grand Duke’s Castle of Glamorgan, and then surrounded by city walls to isolate those lowly civilians…
David was too lazy to care about this. The development of Winter City could not be carried out according to these people’s ideas. Even if they went to Abelson, David would still not agree.
However, a purely high-end living area would still appear.
Abelson had already settled in Winter City and could not live in the hotel all the time. While David was dealing with various trivial matters, Abelson had already selected a piece of land and was ready to build his own manor there.
If nothing unexpected happened, this would be his new home for the rest of his life.
Although Abelson’s new manor had not yet started construction, the surrounding land had been bought up by the nobles, and this would definitely become the most “high-end” residential area in Winter City.
The resettlement of new residents went smoothly, and there was no resistance to the reorganization of the army.
Even though Abelson did not say anything to the two major knights, when the members of the two knights learned that they were about to be reorganized and trained by Winter City, they did not show any resistance, and even looked very expectant.
This made Floyd, who stayed in Winter City to be in charge of the reorganization work, feel very happy, especially when facing those former colleagues.
If we say that the only thing that has not gone well in the past half month is Gareth’s side.
“White Rock City can no longer be defended. The coalition formed by the lords has completely collapsed. The lords from all over the country have no intention of fighting again. More than half of the lords have left White Rock City and returned to their own territories with their men.”
The situation of the capital of Tilan has been known to the entire Kingdom of Tilan with the announcement issued by His Majesty the King earlier, and the high-speed transmission of the Quinjet.
Everyone already knows that the capital of Tilan was destroyed, and His Majesty the King “moved the capital” to Winter City
. Although the Kingdom of Tilan was not destroyed, the king, queen, and little princess were all there, but the capital was bombed into ruins, and the various insidious means of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt emerged one after another, which still brought the morale of the army to the freezing point.
The lords originally had their own little thoughts, and there were also many people who secretly defected to the Temple. Many people were worried about being backstabbed from behind.
This kind of thing happened one after another, which was also one of the reasons for the complete collapse of the Lords’ Alliance.
Even the Knights of Tilan and the Knights of the Guards had spies and assassins from time to time, and no one knew who to trust.
Under so many unfavorable conditions, Earl Sutton-Stewart was able to hold on for half a month, which was very tough.
“You should withdraw too!”
Since they took the initiative to evacuate White Rock City, not to escape from the city, they had to bring more people with them, and they couldn’t pull everyone back with the Quinjet.
Still asked Archmage Jaina Proudmoore to take action, and then brought this group of people and many soldiers to Winter City.
Unfortunately, the residents of White Rock City did not follow their lord, Marquis Prior Otto, to Winter City, which disappointed David, who was looking forward to the continued growth of Winter City.
The propaganda war of the Temple in White Rock City has achieved very good results. The residents of White Rock City feel that as long as the lord gets out, the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt can smoothly take over White Rock City, the war will be over, and they can continue to live their ordinary lives.
In the end, the only people who followed the Marquis Otto and his wife to Winter City were their close servants and guards. Even several of Marquis Otto’s uncles and cousins stayed in Baiyan City.
The rest were all officials, nobles and soldiers of the Kingdom of Tilan that Abelson brought to Baiyan City.
This group of people was different from the people from the capital of Tilan that were previously accepted.
Everyone who came from Baiyan City this time had to undergo strict inspections. Before the inspection results came out, everyone was isolated in a camp outside Winter City. In the
capital of Tilan, the explosion caused by the Temple helped to screen out those who were controlled and instigated by it.
This time, David didn’t know whether there were spies and assassins of the Temple among this group of people. If these people brought magic bombs and walked into Winter City to detonate, even if they didn’t hurt anyone and only blew up a few flowers and plants, he couldn’t accept it.
After looking back and forth, David thought someone would jump out to express dissatisfaction and felt that David’s order seriously humiliated them.
Unexpectedly, he stood here and waited for a long time, and no one jumped out to protest.
Not only did no one express dissatisfaction, David also found that some people showed expressions of relief on their faces. It seemed that they were fed up with the spies and assassins hiding around them.
