[Chapter 373: Targeting Mutants]

How powerful is Superman at his peak? David did not tell Zod, but let him observe slowly. After he saw with his own eyes how Clark quickly became stronger, the confusion in his heart also had a clear answer.

The biggest reason why Zod died at the hands of Superman in the plot was that he came at the wrong time!

If he had come earlier, the earth would not be able to stop the invasion of the Kryptonians; if he had come later, when Superman was already very strong, he would not have been killed. After all,

they were the survivors of Krypton, the last few remaining compatriots. In addition, after Superman became powerful, the mentality that everything was under control, Clark had enough confidence to let these compatriots go.

He could even help General Zod find a new planet and let them rebuild their homes on that planet.

But Zod came not long after Clark had just awakened his ability, which resulted in Superman’s combat power not growing up. When facing these Kryptonian warriors, he did not have the absolute crushing strength to solve this crisis, and finally he could only ruthlessly kill the last compatriot.

In addition, if Zod saw Superman become so powerful, even if his thoughts were stubborn, he would have to think seriously about the true future of Kryptonians.

Because of David’s intervention, Zod got such an opportunity, and he could even witness Clark’s growing strength up close and slowly.

Thinking of this, David suddenly had a strange idea: If Zod had a flash of inspiration and was ready to give birth to a child naturally, he would definitely choose an “excellent mother”, so the female adjutant Fiora would be the only choice, right?

Or encourage Kryptonians to have more children, that scene…

David immediately stopped his thoughts and felt that Zod should not be so outrageous, after all, he was from the upper class of Krypton.

“Anyway, the matter of Kryptonians has come to an end.”

David successfully abducted the Kryptonian refugees to Winter City, and he completed a branch task he had set for himself.

There are still a few small tasks waiting for him!

For example, the mutant refugees from the world of Flashing Clarisse; and the handover of the Supreme Sorcerer.

The former can bring more “special talents” to Winter City, and the latter is to find fun to pass the time.

Everything in Winter City is progressing steadily.

The industrial system is gradually improving, military equipment is also being produced, and even several export agreements have been reached.

The establishment of various factories and shops also provides a large number of job opportunities for the residents of Winter City, and they don’t have to worry about not being able to find a job. The

current unemployment rate in Winter City is very, very low, and only a small number of nobles who are addicted to pleasure are not working – this group of people are not necessarily addicted to pleasure, they may be waiting for the emergence of “better job opportunities and positions”.

With the development of Winter City, Duke David Glamorgan needs more and more people.

In this world where knowledge and power are all controlled by the aristocracy, only the nobles can do those jobs well.

There is no way to deal with this situation for the time being, and this kind of thing cannot be changed in three or two years.

Even if Winter College can provide a group of young talents in a few years, it will take longer to truly replace the role of these nobles.

“So, those who are useful still have to continue to be used.”

At present, the order of Winter City not to enfeoff has not caused too much waves among the nobles. It is estimated that these nobles want to see what the Duke of Winter wants to do next?

The appointment of Earl Sutton-Stewart as the deputy leader of the Tilan Knights should be able to play some role in this regard.

“Speaking of which, I have been focusing on the Kryptonians recently. I wonder how Sutton’s training in the Knights is going?”

He returned to the office and called Eva, and asked directly about the current situation of the Tilan Knights.

Sylvanas officially took over the training of the Tilan Knights not long ago. His current official position is the teaching knight of the Tilan Knights of the Winter Principality. He is responsible for the final stage of the “reorganization work” of the Tilan Knights, and will train the Tilan Knights into an enhanced ranger force.

Some requirements are directly targeted at the Winter Knights: after the completion of this five-year long-term reorganization training, knights who have not been able to truly become rangers, hunters, and master arcane energy will be kicked out of the Tilan Knights.

Even if the knights will not be deprived of their knighthood and can go to other troops as officers, no one wants to lose face.

In addition, the requirements given by Sylvanas are very consistent with the ideas of this group of knights: We are originally the most elite knights of the Kingdom of Tilan! In the future, they should become one of the most elite knights in the Principality of Winter…!

Even if they have seen the horror of the Winter Knights, those who are not competitive cannot join the Tilan Knights at all. Even if they cannot be the strongest, they cannot be trampled under the feet of the Winter Knights and even cannot see their backs!

So when Sylvanas put forward the standard, no one expressed opposition or protest. They all shouted as if they had taken stimulants: Lord Windrunner, don’t pity us, please do your best to whip, teach, and ravage us!

“Is this the original words of the Tilan Knights?”

“The wording is slightly different, but it’s basically the same meaning.”

David nodded. He could rest assured about the situation of the Tilan Knights. No matter whether they could meet Sylvanas’s requirements in the end, they would be the ones who made the profit in the end.

By then, with the two ace knight orders, the Winter Knights and the Tiran Knights, in hand, these countries on the Brunnia continent can basically be conquered by themselves, provided that those gods do not come up with some new tricks.

“What’s the progress of the equipment development of the Tilan Knights?”

“Howard has submitted the complete design drawings and is currently awaiting review by the Chief Advisor of the Principality of Winter.” Eva reminded David slightly: “Your chief advisor hasn’t been here much recently, so I asked Steve to help send the information over.”

“Yeah.” Just as she was about to go to the Marvel Universe to take a look, she also asked Tony about his specific evaluation of the light and heavy cavalry systems of the Tilan Knights: “Didn’t Steve say anything when he came over?”

“He said Stephen has found Kamar-Taj, and you missed that scene.”

“What a pity~”

Eva smiled and looked at David with regret on his face, and then took out a storage disk from her shirt: “But Steve recorded the scene at that time, and he asked me to pass it on to you.”

“You are really my good brother!” David happily took the storage disk. He was not in a hurry to appreciate Stephen Strange’s wonderful experience in Kamar-Taj, but pulled Eva, who walked to his side and handed him the storage disk, into his arms: “In addition, you are worthy of being my secretary.”

“Just a secretary named Clerk, right?” Eva shook her waist slightly, and immediately became obedient when she felt something was wrong. She sat on David’s lap obediently and dared not move.

Although she liked the fun brought by this role identity, she didn’t want to leave early too often: “Ahem, Gwen may come over in a while.”

“Then let’s hurry up.”

“…”

Gwen came earlier than Eva expected. During this period, David didn’t have much time to pay attention to the situation of the mutants, which made Gwen and Clarice spend more time together.

Clarice learned about Winter City through Gwen, and Gwen learned about the various sufferings suffered by mutants through Clarice.

Facing a powerful enemy head-on and unable to defeat it, without other external assistance, the mutants had nowhere to vent their sufferings, which was simply miserable.

After listening to it, Gwen expressed great sympathy for Clarice’s experience, and the relationship between the two became better and better. Now they have become good friends. Gwen patted her chest and promised to persuade David to help the mutants as soon as possible.

After telling the story of the mutants’ tragic experiences, Gwen sniffed and reminded David to help those poor mutants as soon as possible: “Help Clarice and the others! Besides, it would be good for Winter City if mutants joined, right?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve thought about this a long time ago.” David, with his hands on the desk and his thumb on his chin, thought seriously about how to complete this side quest that was already in the plan?

Directly help and take over all the mutants?

He could even be more thorough and take all the few remaining earthlings in that world to Winter City, since there weren’t many living people left anyway.

That world could be left for the sentinel robots to wreak havoc, and he could occasionally go there to fight monsters and gain some practical experience for his men.

When the cleanup was almost complete, that world would be a new backup resource world.

Under normal circumstances, this was the most reasonable plan.

But the world that reverses the future is not possible, because these mutants will come up with another way to save the world: through the power of Phantom Cat, Wolverine’s consciousness will be sent back to the past, and then the existing world that has been harmed by the Sentinels will be erased and completely covered with a new world line.

This plan was not thought up by himself. It is estimated that it is not long before Professor X and Magneto come up with the plan, and they may have even thought of it.

In the case of being able to save their own world, the mutants may not agree to move collectively.

Participate in the mutants’ plan? Then how can you get greater benefits for yourself? In

the new world line, this is one of the countless parallel worlds of Marvel Universe. The only special thing is this group of mutants. What

‘s more terrible is that he doesn’t know whether these mutants will still remember Winter City in the new world line?

Especially Clarice, she won’t forget this experience directly, right?

After thinking for a moment, David decided: meet with the leader of the mutants first, and make a decision after talking face to face.

“Is Clarice in the city now?”

“Yes, she is visiting the training of the Knights of Tiran with a strong man named Logan and an old man named Eric.”

“Is Magneto here? I want to meet him too.”

David moved his chair back a little, stood up, and left the office with Gwen and headed straight for the Winter Army Camp.
