Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 400



[Chapter 400 Dusk of the Kingdom of Tiran]

Sophia, who was having a lot of fun, was called back by Abelson for a family dinner, but when she returned to Glamorgan Castle from her “home”, she looked tangled.

“What’s wrong?”

David looked at Sophia’s embarrassed expression, which was just like the winter vacation ended today but she didn’t do any homework, and she had no idea how to deal with the class teacher tomorrow.

Seeing David’s question, Sophia hesitated to speak, and changed her expression several times, and finally didn’t say a word.

Seeing her like this, David knew it was inconvenient for him to ask.

Fortunately, there were many people around him, whether it was Eva, Helen or Laura, who could ask Sophia on his behalf.

About an hour later, David, who was drinking tea and reading in the office, got the answer from Laura.

“Sophia is being urged to have a baby by her parents.”

“Ah?” David was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Sophia was being urged to have a baby, which was just a disguised way of urging him to have a baby?

“That’s normal. Sophia and you both have special identities, especially at this point in time when you are about to inherit the throne. If Sophia can get pregnant at this time, Abelson may feel that his pressure will be much less.”

No matter how many reasons he comforts himself in his heart and finds for himself, it is an indisputable fact that Abelson will become the king of the kingdom of Tilan.

If Sophia can give birth to an heir for David, then he can still “tell himself” that the kingdom of Tilan still exists, just under a different name.

“I’m afraid I will disappoint His Majesty the King.”

David spread his hands. Although he could understand the other party’s thoughts, he really couldn’t solve this problem.

As his strength continued to improve, he became more and more aware of his physical condition. David gradually understood why he couldn’t successfully produce offspring.

But knowing where the problem is does not mean that he has the ability to solve it. According to the information he currently has, it is quite difficult and troublesome for him to produce real offspring.

“Explain my situation to Sophia! Indirectly let Abelson stop thinking about this matter.” David looked at Laura.

Although it was just a glance, the two of them had developed enough tacit understanding over the years. Laura immediately understood what David meant: “I’ll go and tell Sophia… Speaking of which, should we tell her the truth later?”

“What do you want to do?”

“Because Sophia’s mother gave her baby daughter a good idea after hearing that you, the Duke, are gifted and have amazing fighting power, and Sophia can’t bear it at all.”

Rosie learned from her daughter that it was not that Sophia didn’t work hard, but that David was too beastly. If Sophia asked David to do those things every day, whether she could get pregnant or not, Sophia would probably be dead by now.

After careful inquiry, knowing that it was not that Sophia’s fighting power was too poor, Rosie finally understood why the several women around the Duke of Glamorgan could get along well and did not have any conflicts.

It turned out that everyone could eat very well and there was no need to fight.

After thinking about it, Queen Rosie gave her daughter a clever plan: call friends to attack together, wait for the opportunity to grab the last blow, and strive to use the least consumption to exchange for the most results!

This tactic is not uncommon. It would be safer to use a trusted maid than to find an outsider, but ordinary maids would not be able to attract the Duke, so Sophia could only ask him to win over other women around David.

After Sophia heard her mother’s advice, she was stunned.

She wanted to refute that this method was too absurd, but she couldn’t think of a better solution.

At least her mother’s advice sounded reliable. As for being too shameful…

she couldn’t even refute her mother’s words: “With the quality David has shown, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, and maybe it has already happened when you don’t know.”

So Sophia returned to Glamorgan Castle in this state of “Should I go all out?” and told the situation to Laura, Eva and Helen who cared about her.

This was also her mother’s advice. Anyway, everyone had enough meat to eat, so it was better to discuss it with those people. So Sophia told them the situation clearly, and she didn’t even hide the idea from them.

“Don’t say I don’t consider you. You can first… um~ and then tell Sophia the truth.”

“…”

David looked at Laura speechlessly: You are so excited, it’s hard for me to believe you!

However, I have to admit that this suggestion is too attractive! Is this considered a trick on Sophia? Alas~ Family members playing little jokes on each other is also a way to increase feelings~

So from this day on, Sophia lived in David’s room, and Sophia, who worked hard every day until her stomach was bloated, didn’t know that she had been working in vain until the day Gwen came.

Realizing that she was tricked, Sophia said that she wanted everyone to experience the “suffering” she suffered, so David and Laura lived happier.

Time passed in this chaos. When Sophia found that the so-called revenge would only make herself worse and chose to let go of the grudge, the northern plains had become green.

Farmers began to cultivate the new year, and Mark Watney also began to stroll around the northern plains to check the environment in various places.

The Knights of Tilan and the Winter Legion fought with the elves in the Ironwood Forest. As the war progressed, the members of the Knights of Tilan had gradually mastered the tricks of fighting in the forest.

Under Sylvanas’s high-pressure training, hunters who mastered arcane energy began to appear in the Knights of Tilan. Although the number was still small, it was a good start.

With the new equipment that had been officially named North Wind Light Armor and North Wind Heavy Motorcycle, the Knights of Tilan had begun to gradually penetrate into the Ironwood Forest, and the battle situation had shifted from the initial “stalemate” stage to the counterattack stage. The number of

paladins who had learned the Holy Light in the Winter Knights had exceeded half of the entire group.

Everything was moving in a good direction. What surprised David the most was the envoy sent by Marquis Dudley Morgan, the lord of Ironwood Castle, who expressed his attitude very directly: Marquis Dudley Morgan would swear allegiance to the new king, His Majesty David Glamorgan.

At this time, there was still half a year before the deadline in autumn. Marquis Dudley Morgan seemed a little anxious?

But as time entered the summer, more and more envoys from all over the Kingdom of Tilan came to the northern plains, and David found that Marquis Dudley Morgan had not been there for long.

“Strange, are all the lords of the Kingdom of Tilan so aware of the times?”

Although these envoys from all over the country did not directly represent their own lords and directly express their willingness to be loyal to David, the meaning of flattery was still very obvious.

When David officially succeeded to the throne and began to take over various territories, these lords would most likely not resist when facing the army of Winter City.

“Speculators are not uncommon in any era.”

Sutton-Stewart did not think it was strange, because he saw through the situation of these people at a glance.

As a noble with a high status and position in the Kingdom of Tilan, and the younger brother of the queen, Earl Sutton-Stewart was very suitable to serve as an envoy.

He was responsible for sending notices to the entire Kingdom of Tilan.

Sutton also knew enough about the situation of the lords of various parts of the Kingdom of Tilan, and saw through that these envoys who came to the northern plains were all sent by some weak and poor lords.

There were even some impoverished lords who had lost their territories in previous wars with their neighbors and wanted to ask the new king for justice.

Those lords with vast and rich territories, sufficient military forces or who had simply rebelled did not come to Winter City in person or by sending envoys.

Even some lords with average strength but relatively far away did not take David, the Duke of Glamorgan who was about to inherit the throne, seriously.

To put it simply, even if all the envoys or lords who came here swore allegiance to David, their territories would be nothing more than a bunch of spots on the map. Not only would they have no practical value, but the map would also become very ugly.

“The only lord who is truly of great value to the upcoming Winter Kingdom is Marquis Dudley Morgan of Iron Tree Castle.” The

most important lords during the period of the Kingdom of Tilan were Marquis Dudley Morgan, Marquis Prior Otto and Marquis Ingram Furber, who were responsible for guarding the border.

These three marquises were respectively stationed in Iron Tree Castle in the north, White Rock City in the south, and Dragon Castle in the east.

As for the west of the Kingdom of Tilan, because there are no strong enemies and it is next to the barren Lost Land, the land itself is not rich, so several earls are in charge.

In addition, the earls around the capital are more important – these earls also did not send envoys to the northern plains.

The White Rock City in the south has been taken by the Temple.

Marquis Dudley Morgan of the Iron Tree Castle in the north has clearly stated that he will be loyal to him.

However, Marquis Furber, who is in charge of the east, has never expressed his position. I wonder what he thinks?

When Sutton Stewart delivered the letter, he didn’t even meet the marquis. It is said that he went to quell the rebellion in the surrounding areas.

“This Marquis Furber, the rebellion he wants to quell the most is actually me, right?”

Sutton smiled and said nothing. Although he often gives people an unreliable feeling, he knows when to joke and when to be silent.

He can live to this day, relying not only on his birth and blood.

Of course, it would be great if he could take a break for a while for Sophia’s sake.

Unfortunately, that was impossible. Although he was the deputy commander of the Tilan Knights and the actual commander, all the members of the Tilan Knights who were currently in training had to listen to Sylvanas, including Earl Sutton-Stewart.

Next, he had to return to the barracks for training.

Sutton was not going to be lazy, because the day when Winter City launched a counterattack against the Temple was getting closer and closer, and he had to be the first to rush into White Rock City.
