Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 380



[Chapter 380: Stop pretending and let’s show down]

“The Brunnia continent is about to change.”

The orcs seemed destined to occupy a place on the Brunnia continent. Perhaps when the army of Winter City went south, they would no longer face the armies of other human kingdoms, but these green-skinned orcs.

After watching the live broadcast of this battle, David looked at the others.

Those present were all high-level officials of Winter City, including Chief Advisor Tony Stark, who was also sitting here. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

“Tony.”

“Hmm?”

“What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking that the Piccolo Assault Rifle should have a second edition.”

Judging from the live broadcast, the Piccolo Assault Rifle posed a reduced threat to the orcs. He didn’t want the weapons he developed to become obsolete so quickly.

“Considering that I have a lot of mature technologies now, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

He was recruiting more and more talents, and he had stored enough advanced technologies. In the future, these technologies would continue to be turned into physical objects, which would be enough for the Winter Army to use until the interstellar era.

Compared with weapons, he now wanted to know more about Tony’s research on enhancement technology.

Because of the same goal, Cordell has recently joined Tony’s research work, and has taken out all his life’s research experience and knowledge.

He has to do this, because after seeing the enhancement technologies from various forces in the universe in Tony’s hands, he found that his research was not a result at all, at most the research angle was special.

“There are already several different plans, and preliminary comparisons are being made. If everything goes well… when you enter winter here, I will start the preliminary preparations.”

After the preliminary preparations, it is formal enhancement. As long as everything goes well, Tony will become a high-level intelligent life form with a strong body and a longer lifespan in the spring of next year. Who

will look at me with that kind of scumbag look at me then!

David didn’t ask any more questions when he heard that Tony’s human body enhancement project was progressing smoothly.

According to his idea, the residents of Winter City will definitely receive enhancement in the future, but at the beginning, it will definitely be used first in the army.

Self-enhancement, holy light, arcane, plus various advanced weapons and space battleships are the complete form of the Winter Army in David’s mind.

According to his original idea, it is to quietly stay in the northern plains, hold back all these big moves, and then start sweeping the world.

Now it seems that this idea is difficult to implement.

He can continue to develop with peace of mind, but when he sweeps south, the entire continent has been destroyed by the orcs using evil energy. What’s the point?

In the next period of time, the development speed of Winter City needs to be accelerated again. In addition to building new towns and various naval facilities on the eastern coast as soon as possible, the power of Winter City should be pushed southward.

Iron Tree Castle can no longer be left in the hands of Marquis Morgan!

In addition, people should be sent to the Thordurenma Empire to find out the situation there.

“Send a notice to all the lords of the Kingdom of Tilan.” After David made the decision, there was no need to delay some things any longer: “His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Tilan officially passed the throne to the Duke of Winter, and the Kingdom of Tilan will be renamed the Kingdom of Winter.”

David paused for two seconds, thinking about the right time before continuing: “After receiving the notice, all lords must arrive in Winter City before next autumn to pledge allegiance to the new king. Any lord who fails to arrive in Winter City in time will be regarded as a rebel.”

Finally, he emphasized to the etiquette officer Elias that this notice must be sent to ‘all’ lords of the Kingdom of Tilan, including those who were instigated by the Temple or the Sodurenma Empire some time ago and chose to join the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt or become independent small kingdoms.

Elias did not ask what would happen if these people ignored the notice? That was not his job.

Moreover, from the tone of the Duke, he already knew what the Duke was going to do next: the Duke was obviously going to use force to forcibly seize all the territories.

Not only those lords who have already rebelled, but also those lords who are still loyal to the Kingdom of Tiran but may not care about the Duke of Winter will also not have a good ending.

Perhaps only those who come to Winter City in time to show their loyalty will have a good result.

Then the question is, how many lords are willing to be loyal to David Glamorgan, a remote border lord who has only risen for a few years and has relied on “luck” to hold the thigh of Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Although there are many rumors about the Duke of Winter and the Winter Knights in the Kingdom of Tiran, most people do not believe it.

If the Winter Knights are really so powerful, why doesn’t His Majesty send the Winter Knights south to deal with the Temple?

Now many places in the Kingdom of Tiran are in chaos, and even civil wars between lords of the Kingdom of Tiran have frequently broken out, and the Duke who is in charge of all the affairs of the kingdom has not come out to mediate.

So in the eyes of most people, those rumors are just rumors!

Without a family background, connections, or even a great reputation, David’s fame was entirely supported by a few announcements and a few rumors from the Kingdom of Tiran.

In this case, the possibility of the lords choosing to pledge allegiance to him was infinitely close to zero.

No one at the scene objected to David’s order. Tony and Laura had long known that this day would come. Although it was earlier than expected, it was nothing special.

Weatherby Swan, Elias, Gareth and others had been looking forward to this day.

As David’s most trusted subordinates, their status and position would become more prominent as David became king.

As for whether it would be embarrassing for the new king if no one came to pledge allegiance?

No one thought so!

They would only firmly believe that those lords who did not arrive in time would be in trouble next – if they came to pledge allegiance earlier, the newly crowned King David might have a headache about how to reasonably recover the land of these lords. After

getting along for so long, everyone has figured out the character of the Duke. He is not the kind of ruler who would do something dirty to his own people.

Therefore, those lords’ not coming to Winter City actually helped a lot.

“In a year and a half, a military port will be built on the eastern coast, connecting the east and west of the northern plains, and opening up a passage to the south.”

This is the focus of the next work. As long as it can be completed smoothly, the spring of the year after next will be the time for Winter City to go south to recover the “old land”.

The time is set in the year after next because the Dilan Knights have only completed the initial reorganization work and have not even equipped themselves. This will have to wait until at least next year.

After the adaptive training, it was almost winter or even winter.

In addition, we had to consider various consumptions and make various preparations in advance, which all took time.

To win a war, even if it was a crushing victory, you couldn’t just pat your head and say “start fighting”.

As for the key issues such as the number of soldiers and the lack of management talents, David didn’t care for it for the time being.

According to his original idea, he would occupy a place as soon as he could.

Now the situation has changed, and he has given up this development plan and changed to eliminate the main enemy’s living forces: chasing the orcs and the temple troops.

For civilians (civilians of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt), they mainly migrated, and the towns were directly abandoned.

Anyway, for David, the cities on the Brunnia continent were all backward facilities, and there was no value in occupying them. It would take time and resources to renovate and rebuild them after they were occupied. In

this case, just take away the population that is useful to Winter City.

In this way, the internal affairs will continue to operate Winter City at the current pace, allowing Winter City to continuously expand its control range;

in terms of military affairs, it is to hunt down the enemy’s military forces everywhere. With the technical strength of Winter City, the Winter Army does not have to worry about the problem of insufficient logistics supply.

David does not know whether his idea will work, but his subordinates have enough time to deduce and perfect this idea. Maybe a talent will suddenly emerge and solve the battle plan that was originally not working?

When you are a subordinate, you must be aware of this situation!

If it really doesn’t work, there are Kryptonians, mutants, former Supreme Sorcerers, etc. to save the situation. With so many trump cards, even if there are problems with the plan, it should be possible to successfully achieve the goals within the plan, right?

David can have a good time to be the boss, do the least work, and get the greatest credit!

After issuing the instructions, David went to see the various equipment of the Tyran Knights, and finally went to the Cybertron Research Center.

“How is your aerial surveillance and combat platform?”

The main reason for coming here is to find Megatron. He still remembers that Megatron decided to build an aerial device before!

If everything goes well, this external component of Megatron will be of great help to the following things.

“After precise calculations, it is not realistic to directly manufacture a large aerospace carrier now.”

With Shockwave’s introduction, David realized that it was not that they could not manufacture such a powerful external component, but that Megatron’s current spark strength was not enough to support him to “use” such a powerful body.

It is no problem to force it to be built. In that case, Megatron himself will need to stay on the battleship and can hardly go anywhere. It is equivalent to Megatron himself staying in the air, responsible for air surveillance and high-altitude fire support tasks.

“Is that so!”

“It doesn’t matter, there is nothing important in Winter City next. I can stay on the air carrier with peace of mind to practice the Holy Light and strive to make the spark strong enough as soon as possible.”

David thought about it and felt that what Megatron said made sense – as for changing a Transformer to do this job? Not to mention that there are not many Cybertronians who have mastered the Holy Light, have enough power, and can continue to make the spark stronger.

Megatron’s loyalty to him is the important factor that David dared to let Megatron ride on this big killer and float above his head.

David was even more confident in Megatron than Optimus Prime.

“Let’s do this, how long will it take to build this aerial carrier?”

“Next spring!”
