Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 426



[Chapter 426: Nameless Devil]

Barry will be left with a psychological trauma remains to be seen. Perhaps strolling around Winter City can help him recover faster.

Just like Ed Stark, after meeting David, the King of the Kingdom of Winter, in the front hall, he followed his daughter around Winter City.

The longer he strolled, the more he understood this magical city and the more amazed he was in his heart.

“There is such a magical city in the world.”

Because of the excitement of strolling, he even forgot the time. Fortunately, Winter City is not short of hotels. Not to mention the Winter Hotel, after Winter City became increasingly prosperous, the number of hotels run by the people themselves has also increased.

After staying in the hotel, Ed sighed again: This rich and delicious dinner, clean and comfortable beds and bedding, magical running water, showers, toilets and other facilities, this is just a hotel?

What kind of life does His Majesty the King live?

In comparison, the life he led in Winterfell was basically like that of a wild man. Compared with this Winter City, the Winterfell he was so proud of was probably no different from a rural village, right? Maybe not as good as…

Thinking of this, Ed suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to let Winter City rule the Westeros continent, and with the strength of Winter City, maybe there was no need to worry about the threat from the north?

In addition, with the richness of Winter City, it seemed that there was no need to worry about the long winter that the people of Westeros feared the most?

David didn’t know what Ed Stark was thinking about in the hotel at this time?

After he had a brief chat with Tony about the affairs of Westeros, he was attracted by another thing.

“The design plan of the new Glamorgan Castle?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

David looked at Edwin Van Cleef in front of him, the former leader of the Stonemasons Union and the current Minister of Intelligence of the Kingdom of Winter. He didn’t have the shrewdness of an intelligence officer at all. Instead, his eyes were shining and he was discussing with David what the new Glamorgan Castle should look like?

“Why did you suddenly think of this?”

“Since Natasha and Ethan joined the Intelligence Department, I’ve been much more relaxed. Even things related to assassins, stealth and other skills, Vanessa can help with them.”

In other words, the Black Widow Natasha and the gambler Ethan Hunt freed Edwin Van Cleef from the heavy intelligence work, allowing him to pick up his favorite architectural design work again.

“Isn’t the reconstruction of Iron Tree Castle satisfying you?”

Iron Tree Castle must be rebuilt. It’s a whole new city. Why does it seem that Edwin Van Cleef doesn’t care much about this big project?

“The reconstruction of Iron Tree Castle is not challenging at all. Just apply the basic construction template of Winter City.”

David heard Edwin’s answer and understood what was going on.

For Edwin Van Cleef, such repetitive work is not challenging at all. In comparison, designing new buildings is more interesting.

“Your Majesty, what are your requirements for the new residence?”

“First of all, it has to be big enough, especially the first floor. At least it has to have space for Cybertronians to move freely.” David also knew that with the expansion of Winter City, the current Glamorgan Castle was indeed not good enough.

Building a larger Glamorgan Castle was inevitable. Anyway, it was not a waste of resources and manpower. The diggers would complain if they had no work to do!

“In addition to the first floor having a high enough and open space, the entire building must also be high enough…”

David was talking, and suddenly remembered a piece of news he had seen inadvertently in his previous life. It was a building located in the southwest region, known as the White House of the Celestial Empire.

The appearance of that building was quite in line with David’s preferences, and it was close to the current style of Glamorgan Castle, like an enhanced and enlarged version. Especially at night when the lights were turned on, the whole building was covered with a layer of golden color, which was perfect for David who used holy light. If

the appearance of that building was copied directly, the layout inside could be freely played. For example, in addition to the first floor being spacious and tall enough, a large enough room could be reserved as the main hall, which would be convenient for him to receive outsiders as a king.

Design a large and spacious conference room so that Cybertronians can come to meetings in person in the future, instead of having to use holographic images to “attend” like now, as if they were excluded by other races in Winter City.

Edwin looked at David who was getting more and more excited. He never expected that His Majesty was more excited than himself when designing the new residence. What

made Edwin depressed was that in just a few words, His Majesty had already determined the overall appearance of the new building.

Fortunately, the specific design was still up to me, otherwise this job would be boring.

“When do you think it’s appropriate to start construction?”

“When I lead the kingdom’s army to fight the Temple, we can start building this new house.”

At present, the army of Winter City is suppressing the rebellion in the former Kingdom of Tiran. After all the land of the former Kingdom of Tiran is in his hands, he will personally lead the Winter Knights to find the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt and launch a war of revenge (for Tiran).

By then, he will stay in the south for a long time, enough time for the diggers and craftsmen to complete the construction of the new house.

He was not worried that the Holy Gaunt Kingdom and the Temple would fall too quickly, and he would withdraw his troops before the house was built. After

the Holy Gaunt Kingdom was solved, wasn’t there the Sodurunma Empire?

Although he was like a war maniac when he led his army to rampage across the Brunnia continent, he had enough reasons to do so – the Sodurunma Empire was chosen as the next target simply because the orcs were developing behind them.

If the orcs landed and developed in the territory of the New Ailan Federation, David would attack the New Ailan Federation first.

It’s that simple. He will beat anyone who gets in his way of beating the orcs!

Watching Van Cleef leave, David looked at the completely dark night again.

The night in Winter City is no longer as dark as it was in the past. In addition to the bright street lights, every household will light up their lights.

With the increase in the number of residents in Winter City, these lights have become a large area, making Winter City gradually develop in the direction of a city that never sleeps – of course, in the first half of the night.

After the residential lights go out in the second half of the night, Winter City, which is not so rich in nightlife, will still become very quiet.

David sat by the window, looking into the distance, watching the lights in the residential area gradually go out, but he didn’t have the slightest idea of going back to the room to rest.

Now, it doesn’t really matter to him whether he rests or not. He has always kept his usual routine, just to make himself more like a person.

It wasn’t until most of the residential areas could no longer see the lights, and only a few lights were still on occasionally, that David stood up and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

Just as he turned off the lights in the office, thinking about whether to go to Eva? Helen’s room? When David returned to his bedroom to rest alone, he suddenly noticed something.

“Hmm? Interesting.”

Following the feeling, David did not go to anyone’s room, nor did he go back to his bedroom, but came to the rooftop. The

cold wind blew across his face, but David, who was only wearing a shirt, didn’t care at all.

After scanning the empty rooftop and confirming that there were no extra guests, David’s eyes stayed on an unusually dark corner. It

seemed as if a ball of thick ink was splashed here, black enough to swallow up all colors.

“Is that you? The guy who ‘invited’ me here.”

“Interesting.” The black shadow slowly changed and finally turned into a humanoid creature with a curvy figure.

David looked at the creature in front of him with red skin, horns on his head and a pair of bat wings on his back. The word “demon” flashed in his mind at the first time.

The other party was wearing black armor with “high defense power”, so high that David’s eyes were full of red. For a moment, he didn’t know where to attack first.

“You were able to get rid of my control. No wonder you sent me to such a far place.”

“Oh?”

David was just about to ask a few questions and collect some information, but the demon on the opposite side did not play by the rules at all. With a wave of her hand, she released a dark red fireball full of strange power.

This was just the beginning. After sending out the fireball, the red-skinned female demon pulled out a huge sickle from somewhere, then spread her wings and moved behind David at an extremely amazing speed, ready to take advantage of the opponent to parry the fireball in front of her and directly kill the target with a sickle.

Boom!

Bang!

The fireball exploded and the sickle hit David’s cheek firmly.

However, the blood splattering that the demon expected did not happen. Neither the fireball she released nor the sickle in her hand caused any harm to the “human” in front of her.

“Oops!”

After discovering that the opponent could get rid of her control and realizing that the target was more dangerous than she expected, the female demon had raised the threat level of the target to the highest level.

Otherwise, she would not have given up her favorite plan to play with her prey and directly killed it with all her strength.

She had never expected that this person was even more dangerous than she had judged. Her full-strength attack did not even break the opponent’s skin. This kind of enemy was simply not something she could deal with.

“Run!”

Seeing that the situation was not right, the female demon immediately wanted to escape.

But just as she had the thought, she felt her head being grabbed by a hand containing terrifying power.

The next second, the sky was spinning!

Then, her head made zero-distance contact with a piece of ground emitting golden light.

“Ah~”

Her face felt as if it was burned by flames. At the same time as she screamed, the female demon’s entire body was wrapped and entangled by the sacred fire, becoming the raw material for the fierce burning of the sacred fire.

There was no screaming this time. With David’s current strength, the power of the sacred fire he released was so strong that a little demon could not bear it at all.

The moment the flames ignited, the demon had been burned to ashes.
