Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 435



[Chapter 435 Azegos]

Carefully moving out of a pile of supplies, David quickly explored the surrounding environment.

“Farm? Warehouse?”

This is a farm that looks ordinary and backward. Several farmers are waving simple farm tools and busy in the not-so-large farmland.

David looked around and was surprised to find that this is a valley. The only entrance and exit is a narrow mountain road not far from him.

Staying in the dark, watching a group of servants who were dressed very thickly move the things that had just been transported to the warehouse onto a cart and then dragged away.

David decided to follow this group of people, and he should be able to find useful clues.

He was not worried about getting lost because there was only one way out of the valley.

Walking along the road, David soon felt gusts of cold wind blowing through his body. When he walked a little further, there were some snowflakes in the cold wind.

He now understood why these people were dressed so thickly. It turned out that the temperature outside the valley was very cold.

After walking for half an hour, David finally turned out from the mountain road.

He looked at the “road” in front of him, one going up the mountain and the other going down the mountain.

The teams carrying things split into two here, one going up the mountain and the other going down the mountain.

David found a position with a better view and looked down the mountain, and then looked up the mountain.

He found that his position was a little lower than the mountainside, and the mountain peaks were towering into the sky, and there were large areas of snow on the mountain. Only on the platform not far from the mountainside, there stood a castle – people carrying goods up the mountain should go to the castle.

There was a small town at the foot of the mountain, and smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household, making the town look very lively.

Without hesitating for too long, David turned around and walked up the mountain. He thought that investigating the castle first should help him find useful information faster.

David’s judgment was very accurate, because he didn’t expect that he would run into an “acquaintance” as soon as he arrived at the castle gate with the transport team.

“Are these all?”

“Yes.”

A brown-haired man in gorgeous full-body armor and a cloak looked at the boxes on the car, counted them silently, and waved to the leader of the team: “Just send them to the warehouse as usual.”

“Understood, sir!” The leader of the team waved to his men, and then led the whole team to the side door, where there was a special passage to the warehouse, which was prepared for them.

David did not continue to follow the transport team this time, and his attention was all on the man in armor.

Although he had never seen him before, he remembered this voice.

After comparing the voiceprint, he was more certain: Isn’t this guy Azegos, the god worshipped by the orcs?

Through the information in the lunar outpost, David knew that Azegos was just a vest and code name, but there would always be a person in charge, especially the guy who had “contact” with him at the beginning, who was likely to be the commander of Azegos’s battle.

Now he really ran into the “real person”, but he didn’t know what this guy was busy with dressed like this?

He followed quietly, followed Azegos all the way back to the castle, and followed him through the castle for a while.

Fortunately, this guy didn’t wander around, and soon returned to his room, and after closing the door tightly, he turned on the “advanced equipment” in the room.

“Huh~ This damn place is too cold.”

Throwing the cloak aside, Azegos poured himself a glass of wine while waiting for the temperature to rise. Just as he was about to take a sip to warm himself up, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The heating equipment he installed in the room, although it takes some time to “heat up”, heats up very quickly, and normally it should be warm by now.

Now he feels that the temperature change is not obvious, and the room is still gloomy and cold.

Turning around, he found that there was someone standing behind him at some point. Azegos’ face changed immediately, and he threw the wine glass aside and prepared to draw the sword at his waist.

Buzz~

While drawing the sword, Arcegos had already launched an attack. When he held the hilt of the sword and pointed the end of the hilt at the enemy, a beam of light shot at the enemy at an astonishing speed.

Boom!

The scarlet beam of light hit David’s face solidly, but he was not hurt at all. He still stood firmly in place and stared at the man opposite.

“Finally we meet, Arcegos.”

“Who are you?” Arcegos frowned and looked at the young man opposite, constantly guessing the identity of the man opposite in his mind.

Did someone design the plot to come to me? He didn’t even know to say hello to me in advance.

Just when Arcegos was still cursing in his heart, David saw that the other party didn’t recognize him at all, and he was not interested in playing any games like guessing with the other party, so he revealed the answer neatly.

“What? Can’t you recognize me? I remember clearly what you said before.” David spread out his hands and reinforced the holy light around him that was used to confine this space: “This is my choice. Do you still think it is meaningless?”

“…” Arcegos was confused at first, then his face was full of shock, and finally an expression of disbelief: “Brennia?”

“Uh-huh!”

David looked at the constantly changing expressions on the other’s face. He didn’t expect that after showing great shock, Arcegos, who had been arrogant and threatened him at the beginning, was actually full of fear.

“This is impossible! How could you be here?”

“Why not?”

To be honest, David was a little disappointed. He had thought that Azegos would be a big shot, but now it seems that he is not even as good as the assassins sent by the Temple!

He was dealing with such a bastard, and his sense of accomplishment disappeared by 90%.

He raised his chin slightly, and a pillar of fire descended from the air and hit Azegos.

David didn’t want to kill this guy immediately, so he was very cautious when he attacked, and almost said “gently” in his mouth.

He underestimated the armor on Azegos’s body. This gorgeous full-body armor had no special fluctuations on it, but it had amazing protective power.

David’s holy fire hit it, but it only left some charred marks. Not only did it not destroy the armor, it didn’t even hurt Azegos himself.

“Not bad armor.”

But that was all. David added a little more strength, and the holy light and flames that emerged from the ground directly disabled Azegos’s legs, leaving him lying on the ground in despair and letting David slaughter him.

Although he had drawn out his long sword, Arcegos obviously did not have the strength to fight David. Whether he had a weapon in his hand or not made no difference to David.

Arcegos himself realized this. Although he held a long sword in his hand, he did not use it to fight back, even though there were many “mechanisms” on the long sword.

Arcegos looked around with a desperate face. The walls of his room were glowing with a faint golden glow. It seemed that the entire space was sealed by the opponent’s power.

Unable to escape or beat, Arcegos was desperate. He didn’t know what else he could do?

It seemed that being killed cleanly was the best outcome for him.

“Kill me!” Arcegos seemed to give up after throwing the long sword aside.

If it weren’t for the guy’s eyes still rolling around, David might have believed it: “I won’t kill you, at least not now.”

Before he finished speaking, David saw obvious joy on the other’s face.

Just when the other party was wavering, David took a step forward, and the distance of several meters between the two disappeared in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, David had bent down and half-crouched beside Azegos.

“Although I have understood this move a long time ago, I have never used it… It’s just right to use you to test the effect.”

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Azegos’ forehead. A huge holy light gushed out from his palm, and instantly turned Azegos into a ball of light formed by holy light.

Although he felt a little resistance, his fragile mental will could not resist David’s huge holy light. After a few breaths, as the light gradually faded, a brand new Azegos was born. The

gorgeous armor on his body had more golden lines, and the whole body was also glowing with a golden halo.

Azegos’s originally brown hair had turned bright gold, and even the color of his pupils had become much lighter, and there was holy light flowing in his eyes.

Not only his appearance, but also his temperament had changed drastically.

The previous Azegos looked ordinary, and even wearing a gorgeous armor, there was a sense of mismatch.

But even if Azegos just stood there at this time, he would give people a feeling: this is what a knight should be like.

“How do you feel?”

“Very good, thank you for the gift of my Lord.”

David stood up when he stopped releasing the holy light, and took a few steps back to better observe the effect of light casting.

When Azegos, who had completed the light casting, stood in front of him and showed great respect to him, David already had the answer in his heart.

“Stronger than I expected.”

Of course, this situation is a good thing for David at the moment.

“Azegos, tell me everything you know. Focus on the continent of Anera and the artificial Protoss plan.” David waved his hand to remove the surrounding restrictions, then walked to the side and poured himself a glass of wine comfortably.

He didn’t need to drink to warm his body, he just wanted to drink something to make his mouth taste a little bit, anyway, no matter what kind of wine would not affect him…

“Wow, this wine is quite strong!”

Think about it, no matter how weak Azegos is, he is still the commander of a high civilization, and his own quality cannot be the same as that of ordinary people, so he doesn’t drink ordinary wine.

“Introduce the Sakhan Empire in more detail.”

“Yes, my Lord!”
