Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 61



[Chapter 61: Overlord Solo Death Mine]

After Jonah became the chef of the cafeteria, his first job was not to cook a special dish for everyone in the village, but to purchase various cooking tools and renovate the kitchen of the cafeteria.

Peggy, Sharon, Mark and others all helped, and Will also made a lot of efforts.

Since Elizabeth reminded him that he should communicate more with the people in the village, the little blacksmith has become much more active. Of course, when he is free, he will still stay in his blacksmith shop and study the various forging knowledge books given to him by Laura.

But today, everyone, including Steve Rogers, did not go to the cafeteria to work, but gathered in the wooden shed behind Laura’s wooden house, squatting in a circle and looking at the parts on the ground to study.

“What are you studying?”

David routinely patrolled the village. When he came back, he saw this group of people squatting in a circle, even Alfie and Conn, the two children, were there.

“The weasel that Laura brought over.”

“What exactly is a weasel?” David knew that Laura said she was going to bring a weasel over, but he only guessed that it was the code name of a certain weapon, and the specifics were still unclear.

Steve looked up at David: “Are you asking me?”

David knew that he was asking the wrong person this question, and turned his head to look at Sharon who was half-kneeling on one leg next to him.

“The Weasel armored vehicle is an ultra-light armored vehicle developed and manufactured by Germany. It is designed and manufactured to provide fire support for airborne troops. The original Weasel 1 has two firepower configurations, namely 20mm machine guns or heavy anti-tank missiles.”

“The subsequent Weasel 2 has added more firepower options, including a combination of 7.62mm machine guns and 12.7mm machine guns; anti-aircraft missiles; 120mm mortars, etc. This ultra-light vehicle can be used for reconnaissance, command, transportation, anti-tank and air defense…”

Sharon said a lot, letting everyone present understand what the ‘Wesser’ is.

“It sounds like a very powerful tank.”

No one expected that Laura actually got a tank here. Although it was an ultra-light armored vehicle, it was still a tank. Steve turned his head and looked at the 20mm machine gun next to him: “This Weasel is equipped with a 20mm machine gun.”

This is very obvious, everyone saw it.

“Will they send other weapons? Install different weapons on the vehicle according to the needs?” Mark looked around and saw no other weapons except the 20mm cannon.

“That depends on what Laura thinks.”

Everyone studied the parts for a long time, and suddenly heard Laura’s call.

Everyone stood up and went back to the first avenue of Winter Village. They looked at Laura with surprise as she ‘led’ two cows, and the two cows ‘carried’ the parts together.

“Can it be operated this way?”

Not to mention that everyone was shocked, even David was dumbfounded. He had never thought that it could be operated this way – Laura led the cows to ensure that the cows could follow her to Winter Village. The cows have a strong load-bearing capacity, which means that more things can be transported. Even if Laura can only lead two cows at a time, it is countless times better than ordinary people carrying things back and forth.

“Am I very smart?”

Laura praised her wit, not only did she not attract everyone’s ridicule, but she also received a lot of praise.

Satisfied with the reactions of the crowd, Laura then led two cows back and forth several times to transport all the remaining parts. The last trip was not for the parts of the Weasel, but for a large number of kitchen utensils that Jonah wanted.

In the end, even the two cows were left in Winter Village.

In the following days, everyone lived a fulfilling life every day.

Jonah worked hard to improve the cafeteria, and made some adjustments to the interior decoration, adding some simple decorations to make the entire cafeteria look more comfortable and beautiful.

Laura was assembling the Weasel. David, Mark, Steve, Peggy and Sharon would help in their spare time, so that the ultra-light armored vehicle was quickly assembled and a simple test run was carried out by the way – including the 20mm cannon on top, all parts of the vehicle were running normally.

Since then, the Weasel tank has become the strongest mobile firepower in Winter Village. It is usually hidden in the wooden shed and gives the enemy a big surprise when it encounters an enemy attack.

Because the Weasel tank requires two operators: a vehicle driver; a fireman. After everyone unanimously decided, Mark Watney and Will Turner, who had the worst fighting ability, would serve as the chariot crew, and Elizabeth Swan would be the backup.

Although Will Turner and Miss Elizabeth Swan expressed serious dissatisfaction with their fighting ability being underestimated by everyone,

after being repeatedly educated by Sharon, Peggy, and Steve, they had to admit that they were the weakest people in the village, and their fighting ability was only slightly stronger than Mark Watney, who had just been infused with holy light, and they might not even be able to beat Jonah, the new chef.

Jonah Maiawa is a veteran, tall and heavy, and naturally has amazing strength (compared to ordinary people). If it is a one-on-one competition, neither Will nor Elizabeth can take advantage of it.

This is so annoying!

Whether it is Will or Elizabeth, they have a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat in their bones, otherwise the two of them would not have made so many moths in the original plot.

In the next few days, Elizabeth’s number of trips to Winter Village increased significantly, and the time she stayed there became much longer.

Moreover, the governor’s daughter did not come to play, but was very serious about learning various combat knowledge with Sharon and Peggy, including but not limited to the use of cold and hot weapons, as well as various physical and strength training.

Will did not slack off either. He was also learning. In addition to language, he also learned the use of various firearms. At the same time, Will, who was already proficient in swordsmanship, also got started faster with several sword weapons including broadswords and cross swords.

David, who insisted on practicing and improving himself, also discovered his new talent during this period-it should be a reward from Sharon. He finally figured out what the talent was.

It was an accident. When David saw Sharon practicing spearmanship, he was curious and wanted to learn it. He didn’t expect that he would progress so fast. He learned all the basics in just half a day and memorized all the key contents of spearmanship in one day.

According to Sharon, “All you have to do next is practice hard.” By the way, she looked David up and down with a surprised look, surprised that David had such an amazing talent for spearmanship.

David was also surprised, but he was surprised that the reward he got from Sharon was just a talent for spearmanship.

He swung the wooden spear with his right hand like a propeller for a while, and finally clenched it tightly and stabbed it out, accurately stabbing a stone on the ground, and suddenly picked it up at the last moment, picked up the stone in the air and hit it again with a shot.

Feeling the spear like an extension of his limbs, being controlled by him at will.

“What a strong talent.” David didn’t know whether this luck was good or bad?

According to his current fighting style, he actually wanted to obtain talents such as bare-handed fighting. Because since he got the holy light, he has been practicing his bare-handed fighting skills.

According to his idea, he mainly uses bows and guns, and he can just attack crazily at a safe distance. If the enemy comes to him, it is more convenient and faster to switch to bare hands.

As a result, he got a talent for spears. Does he have to change his job to a spearman? It feels like it will make his luck worse.

However, he did not throw this newfound talent aside for this reason, but studied and practiced it seriously.

A master once said it well: It is better to have many skills when walking in the world!

Who knows when you will use them?

Time passed quickly during the hard practice. During this period, Jonah prepared a very sumptuous meal for the whole village after tidying up the kitchen.

Mark, who seemed to be possessed by a starving ghost, almost ate himself to death. In his words, he hadn’t eaten such decent food for a long time. Before, whether it was himself or David and others who made food, it was all garbage! It was just to replenish the nutrients and calories needed for survival.

“I think the food I grew has finally shown its due value.”

Mark’s words left everyone at the table speechless. After all, this map cannon affected everyone. Even if he included himself, he would still have to suffer in the next period of time.

After everyone enjoyed a real meal, autumn also announced its arrival with a cold and heavy rain.

Watching everyone nervously checking the situation in the fields, he knew that this year’s last round of crops would race against the weather: if he was lucky, they would mature and be harvested before the temperature dropped to a certain level; if he was unlucky, they would all freeze to death in the fields.

He had no solution to this problem. Fortunately, Winter Village had stored enough food, and the people in the village did not have to worry about not having enough food to survive the winter.

In addition to this little episode, Fording brought back news that made David happy.

“According to the information you gave me, I found Edwin VanCleef. To be honest, this guy is not easy to find.”

Fording thought of the experience along the way. He thought it was a very simple task, but he didn’t expect that there would be a little accident at the last moment. It was not that Fording couldn’t find the place, but that he couldn’t see Edwin VanCleef after finding the place, so he had to show some strength to meet that guy smoothly.

David listened to Fording’s story and imagined the scene of the strongest paladin in Azeroth alone in the Dead Mines dungeon. That scene should be very brutal. Those small thieves and robbers would not be slaughtered by Fording, right?

Fording glanced at David and guessed what the village chief was thinking: “I didn’t do it hard. If I did it hard, even if I met VanCleef himself, I wouldn’t be able to talk calmly.”

“I understand!” David understood what Fording meant. He now wanted to know the result of the conversation: “How was the talk?”

“He wants to talk to you in person.”
