Age of Empires From Scratch

"Reinforcements?"

Snowfield Fort asked for reinforcements? Who are the reinforcements invited to deal with? Winter Town?

Looking at Vanessa in front of him, David waited for the follow-up report.

If Vanessa only found out that Iron Tree Castle sent reinforcements, but didn't find out about Snowfield Castle, why did she ask for reinforcements? Who is this reinforcement against? That proves that Vanessa is not a qualified intelligence officer, she has no talent in this area.

In that case, Vanessa's future work may be transferred to 'assassination' and the like!

Facts have proved that Vanessa VanCleef is not a rookie without the slightest intelligence sensitivity. When she knew that an army was rushing from Iron Tree Fort to Snowfield Fort, she began to investigate the situation of the support army.

"According to the information I have obtained, the eastern part of the northern plain is not very peaceful at present. It is said that many newly established villages and towns have been attacked or even completely destroyed, which has threatened the safety of Snowfield Castle."

"East?" David immediately thought of the orcs who established a village in the easternmost part of the Northern Plains: "The orcs attacked humans? Snowfield Fort asked for reinforcements to destroy the orcs?"

Vanessa didn't answer. This is the experience she learned from her father: the main job of frontline intelligence personnel is to report all the intelligence they have heard, sort out and analyze it, and how to deal with it. These are not their jobs.

Don't express your opinion casually unless the superior asks for it.

Vanessa respects her father very much, and she always keeps his father's teachings in mind. So after reporting all the intelligence information she had heard, Vanessa didn't make any suggestions, but just stood there waiting for the lord's inquiry.

David sat in the chair and thought for a while, then asked some more questions, and after confirming all the information Vanessa had heard, he let Vanessa leave.

Sitting sideways behind his desk, David looked out the window.

Cold Winter Town under the night is no longer as dark as it was before. With the construction work of Cold Winter Town coming to an end, the power plant (currently using crystal mines to generate electricity) and the waterworks are put into use. More and more lights appear at night as well.

In addition to the streetlights used as public facilities, more and more residents of Rinwinter Town began to enjoy the convenience brought by electric lights.

After dazed for a while, after finishing his thoughts, David walked out of the office and said to Elias who was guarding the door: "Good night!"

"Good night, my lord."

After returning to his bedroom, David fell asleep with the fragrant human flesh pillow in his arms...

The next day, David shared the information obtained by Vanessa with several important figures in Cold Winter Town.

Including the administrative officer Wetherby Swan, the ceremonial officer Elias Parker, the clerk Eva McKenna, and Edwin Van Cleef, the leader of the artisan group and also the intelligence officer.

And the current head of the military in Cold Winter Town: two guard knights Gareth Stanton, Floyd, and firearms instructor Jack Krause.

In addition, Renault Mograine, Sally Whitemane, Liadrin and others also attended as consultants.

These few people will come because they have all participated in the training of the Winter Knights, and they will naturally pay more attention to the Winter Knights, a military group that they helped train.

Mark, Laura, Peggy, Sharon, Will, Elizabeth and others also arrived, and they were very concerned about the situation in Winter Town.

As for Helen, she commanded her two maids to serve tea and water to everyone in the conference room—not only did she quickly learn how to use those facilities, she also taught her maids.

After more than a day of observation, Helen discovered the opportunity for her to perfectly integrate into Glamorgan Castle: David, as the ruler of this place, has a serious shortage of servants around him. There are only a few people living in the huge Glamorgan Castle, and there is no servant .

How can this work?

She guessed that David just hadn't had time to 'buy' servants, and maybe enough servants would move in after a while.

But since I'm here, just leave this question to her!

While Helen was thinking about how many servants to buy enough to go back to Sparta, David had already finished the information Vanessa had obtained, and began to discuss with everyone what they should do next?

"The robber attack is easy to deal with, as long as it is properly guarded against." Wetherby-Swan felt that the terrain of the northern plains meant that there was no possibility of sneak attacks or ambushes. A large number of refugees could easily be discovered if they moved together. .

Van Cleef made a point: "Be careful that these refugees scatter into Cold Winter Town, sabotage and launch sneak attacks from the inside."

Both Peggy and Sharon felt that this might not be a small matter, especially since the rumors of a 'scary pink flying dragon' in Cold Winter Town were spreading in the northern plains, and only people with problematic minds would attack Cold Winter Town head-on.

"Edwin is right. We are not afraid of a frontal attack, but we have to be wary of the opponent using this method." David looked at Van Cleef, wondering how many of the craftsmen in the opponent's hands had received assassins or thieves. Aspects of training: "How many people do you have who can be used?"

"Not much..."

The Stonemasons Guild was just craftsmen. Even if it later became the Defias Brotherhood, the craftsmen also learned some combat skills, but the talents of these people are not high, and the number is limited, most of them can only be regarded as learning a little superficial.

More importantly, those who followed him to Cold Winter Town were not members of all the masons' unions.

"Barely can make up more than 20 people." These 20 people have mastered the stealth ability, and the rest are really not much different from ordinary craftsmen. They have only learned some skills in fighting and using weapons.

"Next, these twenty people will become the secret sentinels of Winter Town..." David has already begun to consider forming a formal intelligence department, and plans to discuss this topic with Van Cleef later: "The Knights of Winter will become The guard posts on the surface play a certain deterrent effect."

The functions of the light and dark sentries are different. The soldiers of the Winter Knights are used to deter those who sneak in, so that they dare not directly cause trouble.

The secret sentry is to find out those who have evil intentions.

As for the real refugees, these real refugees who can't survive in the northern plains are easy to deal with.

After these people came to Cold Winter Town, they found that they could find jobs, housing, and even all-you-can-eat meals here, so they would naturally change from refugees to ordinary civilians.

Therefore, the refugees who sneaked into Cold Winter Town in batches are not a threat at all. Only those caring people controlled by the iron tree castle nobles will not care about the good life here in Cold Winter Town and carry out sabotage.

Everyone continued to discuss for a while, and felt that the topic of refugees and robbers was almost discussed, and then began to discuss today's highlight: the situation in the east of the northern plain; whether Snowfield Fort is preparing for military operations? What is the real purpose of the reinforcements sent by Iron Tree Fort? Will it pose a threat to Cold Winter Town?

"Regardless of whether there is a threat to us, we must first figure out the specific strength of this support army." Gareth Stanton, as the current commander of the Winter Knights, is most concerned about the enemy, or The actual combat power of potential enemies.

"I'll let Arcee later..." David suddenly remembered that Arcie was called to help by Leon: "Forget it, I will go there after the meeting to see the situation of the support army."

Everyone present, you look at me, and I look at you.

Laura and the others didn't think much of it, but Floyd and Gareth Stanton felt that the Lord Lord's decision was a bit like a curse.

Floyd immediately stood up and said, "How can you bother the lord to do this kind of thing yourself?"

He hammered his chest with his right hand, and solemnly stated that he would soon come back with detailed information about the support army and present it to the lord.

"Then leave it to you." David originally wanted to say that he could 'transform' into a fighter plane like Arcie, fly over the reinforcements in a short time to check, and then fly back.

You can also go to the east to see the situation, and see what the orcs in the eastern part of the northern plain are like now?

There is no danger in the whole process, and it does not take much time.

But he could also understand Freud's thoughts: If the lord had to solve everything himself, wouldn't it appear that they were all trash as subordinates?

Whether it is based on a sense of honor, or wanting to prove one's ability to the lord, so as to win a bright future, Floyd and the soldiers of the Winter Knights must perfectly bring back the information.

Not only do you need to find out the information about the support army, but you also need to go to the east to find out that the support army is targeting the orcs in the east? Or Winter Town?

In order to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly, Floyd is going to ask Jack Clauser for help, because Clauser is currently the only person in the Winter Knights who can skillfully fly the Black Hawk helicopter.

Just when everyone had discussed the matter and started to disperse to deal with the part of the tasks they were responsible for, Steve suddenly came over.

"Is there something?" David was about to discuss the establishment of an intelligence department with Van Cleef, but Steve, who had just arrived, greeted Peggy and came straight to him, obviously looking for him for something.

"You asked me to ask Tony Stark if we could build an ark reactor in Cold Winter..."

"Oh oh oh!" David patted his forehead. In the past two days, first Gwen, then Helen, and then the information brought back by Vanessa, he forgot about it: "How is that Iron Man?" explain?"

"Tony said that the price is a trivial matter." As if thinking of something, Steve showed a look of fun: "He wants to come here to see for himself before deciding whether to accept this project."

It sounds very in line with the style of the iron man, but this is not an excessive request, David readily agreed: "No problem, when is he going to come?"

"Now!"
