Age of Empires From Scratch

Chapter 280 Cleaning up the Northern Plains

What seemed to be a massive battle ended after only half a day.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Winter City army, the orc army had no way to survive. Even with the fel sigil and the ability to transform into a giant, there was still no way to bridge the huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides.

The biggest advantage of the orcs in terms of numbers is also offset by various powerful weapons.

Once the orc army gathers in large numbers, there will be a Jericho missile on the side of Winter City. After an earth-shattering explosion, only a small number of orcs, which were originally an astonishing number, are left scattered. Injured.

This situation is particularly damaging to morale. If it is not for the survival crisis, and these orcs at the front line are affected by the evil energy, they have already become a little crazy, so they barely maintain their morale and do not directly collapse.

Under normal circumstances, David only needs to bomb a few times with missiles, and the Spartan heavy infantry can go up and clean up the battlefield.

What makes the orcs even more frustrating is that even if they managed to catch a relatively lonely metal man, they broke the opponent's energy shield with fel energy and finally wounded it. It seemed that when they were about to kill an enemy, the opponent Will suddenly return to normal, jump up and continue fighting with them.

That's not enough, what makes the orcs even more incomprehensible is that these metal people who were beaten up obviously didn't make any calls for help, but once they are in danger, other metal people will always arrive in time.

After fighting for a long time, the compatriots on my side continued to die, and the death was worse than the other, but they couldn't even kill a metal man.

Even under the influence of fel energy, the orcs who were a bit crazy finally collapsed!

The big defeat came earlier than David had expected. At this time, the Winter Knights were still waiting for the order to attack by the Quin-jet fighter transformed into a mass-produced Decepticon.

"Destroy the orcs completely!"

David, who heard Gareth's report, issued a new order.

If it was changed to before, he might not be in a hurry to wipe out the orcs, and it would be fine to let them live in the eastern part of the northern plain.

He can definitely develop his own Winter City steadily, keep increasing the population, and gradually turn Winter City into the most advanced and largest urban agglomeration on the continent of Brunnia.

But now he doesn't think so anymore, these orcs are carrying evil energy or equipment, David just destroyed the evil energy crystal ore, and the orcs have already created a large number of evil energy symbols and shells, these things remain It is a huge hidden danger on the northern plains.

"Pay attention to looking for all items with evil energy, and once found, destroy and purify them immediately."

The 'factories' that David had shown Gareth before were the targets that the Winter Knights would focus on next. When these factories were also destroyed, the orcs would no longer be a threat.

"I know what to do!"

Gareth Stanton understood the meaning of the lord very well. Next, he will order the Winter Knights to take the Quin-style fighters and attack everywhere. Their goals are the various cities and factories of the orcs, and strive to capture all the land on the northern plain. All orc creations are destroyed.

The task of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment is to clean up the ground. Next, they will clean up the northern plains on the ground. The target is the orcs who have been scattered and wandering on the northern plains.

This is not an interesting job, it is boring and time-consuming, and it can be regarded as a kind of training for the Spartan heavy infantry.

If all goes well, after half a year, there will be no threat of orcs on the entire northern plain.

"Leading the Spartan heavy infantry to sweep the ground will be given to Jack Krause."

It has been quite some time since Krause came to Cold Winter City. After hard training, he has become a hunter with good strength. Tracking and other work happen to be his field of expertise.

So Kraussar was a better fit for the job than Gareth, and David had other tasks for Gareth to do.

"Although the orcs have been defeated, it doesn't mean that their threat has been completely eliminated. There are still many orcs in their home island of Asegos, and they may not show anything when they come back next time."

In addition, the elves in the south of Winter City did not stop much. David wanted Gareth to go to Iron Tree Castle to see the situation.

"The most important thing is that you have to ensure smooth traffic between Iron Tree Fort and Winter City!"

Gareth nodded. He knew what the lord had done for him to let go of the orcs and go to Iron Tree Fort: The Kingdom of Tiran was moving its population to Winter City forcibly, but because of the war between Iron Tree Fort and the elves, these people could not arrive smoothly. Winter City.

This is unacceptable to David, so he wants Gareth to restore traffic and ensure that these people come to Winter City as usual and become the citizens of Winter City.

Later, David asked Megatron to be the commander of Snowfield Castle, responsible for the follow-up work of the war against the orcs, and then he returned to Winter City with many partners.

Megatron is absolutely loyal to him, and he doesn't have to worry about sudden betrayal.

At the same time, David also wanted to take this opportunity to see if the Decepticons would do something wrong when he wasn't watching nearby.

"My lord, how should I write the report to His Majesty the King?"

Elias Parker knew that the lord is not in a very good condition. After staying by David's side for so long, the lord always looks energetic, and he has to close his eyes and rest for a while like today This is the first time Elias has seen him in this state.

Normally, he should advise the lord to take a good rest, or ask the pharmacist to check the lord's body.

But he knew that David's state today was related to the battle a while ago, and it was not a problem that a pharmacist could handle.

Watching the fingers of David's right hand resting on the table kept beating, Elias knew that the lord was not not hearing what he said, but was thinking.

"There is no need to submit any reports. Cold Winter City just repelled a very common harassment from the orcs outside Snowfield Castle."

"Understood, my lord." Elias nodded. It seems that the lord is not going to tell the actual situation in the northern plain of the king's capital.

As for whether the real situation can be found through other channels in the capital, that is the business of the capital. Elias felt that even if he wanted to find out all the details, it would take a lot of time.

During this period of time, the Kingdom of Tiran will continue to migrate its population to Winter City, which is the fundamental reason why David is not going to report that the orcs have been defeated by him—the King’s capital will know later, and Winter City may have more people. some population.

"My lord, why don't you just rest!"

"I don't have any problems with my body, it's just that I have consumed too much Holy Light." David explained casually that he was not injured or sick, and he didn't want to restore the Holy Light to its peak state as soon as possible, nor did he rely on rest.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no important work to deal with at hand.

Krause led the heavy infantry to clean up the remnants of the orcs, and the Winter Knights under the command of Megatron focused on attacking the towns and factories of the orcs. Gareth took a small team of winter knights to Iron Tree Fort to restore the road to smooth Afterwards, Winter City will enter a period of rapid population growth.

The city's construction planning has already been done. Wetherby is in charge of internal affairs, and Elizabeth is in charge of public security. There are not many things that David must personally handle.

Strolling out of Fort Glamorgan, David decided to pick up his old habits: he walked around in his territory when he had nothing to do, maybe he could see something interesting?

He is not going to drive. If necessary, he considers taking the public bus in Lower Winter City to experience his own public transportation for himself.

Walking out of the main entrance of Winter Fortress, David first walked towards the Cathedral of Light diagonally opposite. He wanted to see how far Liadrin had developed the Sect of the Holy Light?

Although he knows that it is impossible to train a large number of priests at once, but if possible, he very much hopes to see a group of newly born priests appear in Winter City within this year.

With the increase in population, the demand for medical treatment will also increase significantly, and the most important medical method in Winter City is Holy Light. This is an important reason why Holy Light quickly gained recognition in Winter City, and it is also a small hidden danger. .

It's not that David thinks the belief of the Holy Light is bad, but that there are really too few people in the Cathedral of the Holy Light who can really use the Holy Light, only Liadrin and Sally Whitemane.

Among them, Sally Whitemane worked more in the army, and Liadrin alone was obviously not enough.

He was thinking about whether to let Liadrin return to Azeroth and recruit a group of Holy Light priests, even if they are rookies and new priests, it is enough to deal with minor injuries and illnesses.

Also, shouldn't a real hospital be built? If a hospital is to be established, how should the problem of doctors be solved? Each world recruits a batch?

Just when David was thinking about how to build a medical system, he saw Ethan Hunt walking towards the Holy Light Cathedral with a few bags in his hand, not knowing what they contained.

"Are you delivering something?"

"Ah, hello! Earl of Glamorgan." Ethan didn't really want to meet David, because he didn't know how to address the lord properly, and he didn't know whether he should give a big gift: "Help Liad The pens, inks and some trinkets bought by Bishop Lin."

"Oh!" David also noticed Ethan's slightly embarrassed reaction, and soon he understood why Ethan almost never took the initiative to find himself.

Unlike Steve and the others who came earlier and had more contact with David, Ethan didn't know much about David's character.

Coupled with the identity of the noble lord, Ethan is similar to David back then, and he is unwilling to contact the 'nobles' from the bottom of his heart, especially in such a 'medieval world' where there is a gap between nobles and commoners.

"Don't be so restrained, just call me David."
