[Chapter 448: A few small tasks]
David thought of Sheldon’s personality and felt that his worries were reasonable.
Even the best friends sometimes couldn’t stand this guy. If he teamed up with relatively unfamiliar people, the probability of conflict, being thrown into a dangerous area or even being beaten to death would be quite high!
For his own safety, if Sheldon wanted to go to Faerun to play, he had to team up with acquaintances.
Moreover, according to Eva’s description, these people were not in a hurry to go to Faerun because they had a project in hand: After Tony Stark conquered the space technology of the Sakan people, Howard took over a task: to create an inter-dimensional communicator. It is
not true that any plane can communicate freely, but it is a reasonable requirement for the world that has established a stable connection with Winter City to be able to communicate relatively freely, right?
It is said that the progress is good. At present, short messages can be sent across planes, but there will be a certain delay.
Otto Octavius, who recently upgraded the nuclear engine of Winter City, also joined the team. The current goal of the team is to send messages without delay, and then tackle instant messaging after completion.
“When they complete this project, if they want to go to Faerun, just let Edkin take them there!”
“Does it count as a mission?”
“Yes… Dr. Sheldon Cooper’s reward can be counted as Leonard, Howard, and Raj’s combined.”
These people have learned alchemy and eaten golden apples in Winter City, and now use strengthening potions. They are no longer ordinary people, and they will not be a burden if they travel.
It’s just that they haven’t learned combat skills seriously, or they lack talent in this area, so it’s best to have someone special to escort them to such a dangerous and complicated world as Faerun.
After arranging benefits such as travel activities for the outstanding employees of Winter City, David also knew what everyone was busy with during this period.
Norrington’s navy is still developing steadily. After many voyages and sailing in the sea, the navy of the Kingdom of Winter has taken shape. With steady development, it will surely form a powerful fleet.
David did not rush Norrington to transform the navy into a space fleet.
Training on surface ships can be regarded as the basic version of the space fleet. It is not difficult to practice on surface ships first and then transfer to the space fleet.
Compared with worrying about whether the space fleet can be formed in time, David might as well think about how to recruit more fleet commanders.
“I wonder if Edkin has hidden talents in this area…” If so, David is willing to build a disc-shaped spaceship for him.
Just as David was listening to people’s situation and packing things, the day of departure to the south came.
Eva and Helen came to see him off. In addition, Anna, Elsa and a group of people also came to watch the fun: David was going to the south to conquer the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, and the Winter Knights would naturally be dispatched in full force.
The Winter Knights, which still have less than 100 people, are no longer the Winter Knights of the past, even though they are still wearing blizzard power armor and using piccolo assault rifles.
There has not been much improvement in weapons and equipment, but after all members have become paladins, the combat effectiveness of the Winter Knights has been greatly improved. In addition to using various hot weapons, the Winter Knights can still exert terrifying combat effectiveness using cold weapons.
In Floyd’s view, even with only less than 100 people in the Winter Knights, it is enough to completely destroy the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt.
As for the temple? Even if they have more priests, mages, and Knights Templar, it won’t work!
Especially the Knights Templar, who have been listed as the key target of attack.
In the future, there will only be one kind of Paladin on the Brunnia continent, that is, the Paladin of Winter City!
Floyd sometimes wondered whether the Winter Knights should be changed to the Winter Paladin, but later gave up this idea. It is better to be a simple and direct Winter Knights!
Because the Winter Knights are first loyal to David Glamorgan, and whether they are holy or not is not the point! If you overemphasize the Paladin and the Holy Light, you are putting yourself in the wrong position.
David didn’t know that Freud had been entangled in these things.
David, standing next to the Quinjet, looked at the crowd of onlookers not far away, and he found that there were more people from the Macross world.
Ozma-Lee brought her sister Lanhua-Lee to Winter City. He also met Lanhua-Lee’s good sister Matsuura Nanase, Michael’s childhood sweetheart Coran-Gullen, and so on…
“Is that man the king here? He doesn’t look special!” Coran admitted that David was handsome and had a good appearance, but since he was His Majesty, he couldn’t just look good, right? Could it be that this king ruled the country by his face?
“Don’t say this in front of outsiders.” Michael has been in Winter City for a while, and he has a household registration and military position in Winter City.
He is an active soldier in Winter City. During this period, in addition to working hard to train and improve his own quality, he would wander around Winter City in his free time and chat with all kinds of people.
It can be said that his understanding of Winter City is definitely the most detailed in his small circle.
Especially some comments about His Majesty David, the King of Winter. Although mixed with many gossips, unofficial history, and miscellaneous talks, there are some things he can be sure of:
the priests in the Cathedral of Holy Light are all fanatical believers of His Majesty David Glamorgan.
Don’t be fooled by the friendly and kind behavior of the high elf priests. If anyone dares to question His Majesty, they will be the first to turn against you.
Among them, Liadrin, the bishop of the cathedral, is the most staunch follower of His Majesty. It is said that she doesn’t even care about her own homeland Quel’Thalas. She will live in Winter City in the future, serve His Majesty David, and spread the teachings of the Holy Light to Brunnia on behalf of His Majesty.
Such an existence who is respected as the Lord of Holy Light is definitely not “nothing special”.
After briefly introducing these things to Colan, Colan remembered the golden magical power used by the knights when he watched Michael and his team train before.
“Is the Holy Light the magical power that helps you heal your injuries?”
“Yes!”
“Is this King the master of the Holy Light?”
“I don’t know about that, but His Majesty Glamorgan’s attainments in the Holy Light are definitely the strongest in the world.”
“Oh? How strong?”
Michael took a deep breath and told the “rumor” he had heard countless times: “It is said that most of the residents currently living in Winter City died in a huge disaster… It was this King who used the extremely powerful Holy Light to resurrect them and brought them to Winter City.”
“…” Kelan listened to Michael’s words and showed an expression of “Are you telling a fairy tale?” As a result, he only saw Michael with a serious face. Knowing his childhood sweetheart, Kelan immediately realized that the other party was not joking: “Are you serious?” The
current population of Winter City has exceeded 100,000, and it is still increasing. Even if it is not only half of them, it is more than 50,000.
Having the magical power to resurrect a few people will make her feel magical, but it is not unacceptable.
Resurrecting more than 50,000 people… Is that something a human can do?
Even in myths and legends, a very powerful god must be able to do such a thing, right?
“To be honest, I find it hard to believe, but the longer I stay here, the more I think this may be true.” The more Michael learned, the more he felt that his choice was so wise and correct.
However, Colan still had some doubts. She no longer doubted whether David could easily resurrect tens of thousands of people. She began to doubt whether Michael was brainwashed by some force.
Listen to what he just said, what was that?
If all these contents are true, doesn’t it mean that Michael is working for the true God now? Does he think he is the chosen son of God?
“I am definitely not the chosen son of God. The real chosen son of God is over there… I am just a mortal who got a little luck from the protagonist.” A light flashed across his glasses, and Michael’s eyes stayed on Saotome Art for a moment.
At this time, Art was asking David if he could fly a fighter plane with him when he went south this time? But David refused.
Alt, who had never been on the battlefield or seen real blood, was still a complete rookie recruit, although he had good driving skills.
David was not going to let Alt Saotome go to the extremely tragic battlefield without any preparation – because of David’s interference, Alt Saotome did not join SMS and naturally had no chance to go to the battlefield.
Of course, Alt was trained to make him the trump card of Winter City, so it was impossible not to kill people all the time.
David decided to let Ozma and Michael lead this rookie. It would definitely be much easier to start killing insects than to kill humans or other humanoid races directly.
“By the way, keep an eye on Shirley-Gnom.”
While handing Alt Saotome to Ozma, David also gave Michael a small task: If David remembered correctly, Shirley-Gnom was about to be abandoned by her agent.
At that time, would he send someone to be Shirley’s new agent? Or would he directly let Shirley transfer her career to the Brunnia continent?
Such a famous singer’s “change of allegiance” should attract a large number of people to move with her, right? Maybe there are a lot of Jetrati among this group of people?
Colan, who had heard David’s announcement of the task, watched the great Lord of Holy Light board the plane, and then curled his lips and said, “I’m not sure about the truth of other things for now, but the gossips about His Majesty that I told you before should all be true.”
