MTL - Age of Empires From Scratch-Chapter 285 Fishing in muddy water

  Chapter 285 Fishing in muddy water

  The sun is shining and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming!

  The temperature this year has indeed risen much earlier than in previous years. David stood on the roof of Glamorgan Castle and looked around. Not only has the cold winter forest in the north turned green, but the grasslands in the east have also turned green.

  Farmers have begun to work in the farmland, and public buses are also shuttled non-stop in the city, carrying those workers to their work places.

  Walking along the roof, and taking a general look at his territory by the way, David found that there were more people on the roof.

   "Good morning, Miss Hood."

   "Good morning, Lord Earl."

   "Just call me David."

   "This is a necessary etiquette, my lord." Under the sunshine, Hood's brilliant blond hair was tied into a bundle and hung on his right shoulder.

  Looking at Hood's hairstyle, David wanted to complain, but finally held back: "How is living in Winter City? Is there anything you don't like?"

   "No, this place is beautiful, and everyone takes good care of me."

  Hood has lived in Winter City for a while, and has begun to adapt to life here.

Brennian Common Language has also been learned, and Laura and Eva often chat with her, which makes her master this new language faster. Now she can not only use Brennian Common Language and Conversation with people, and without accent.

   "It's just that I have been taken care of by you all the time, which makes me feel very embarrassed."

  Hood felt that his injuries had long since healed. After recuperating for so many days, his body gradually returned to his best condition.

   It's really embarrassing to always eat and drink like this. She ran to the roof today, but she just wanted to ask David, is there any job suitable for her in Winter City?

   "You want to find something to do?"

"Yes."

"what you up to?"

  A very common question, but it stopped Hood from asking.

  What do you want to do? Hood has never considered this issue since the day he was born!

  Because she is a battleship, from the day she was born, she has an innate mission: gallop the sea and fight the enemy!

   Besides that, she didn't think about what she could do, and didn't know what she could do? If David hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have even thought about it.

   To some extent, sacrificing in the war is the best destination for their existence. Otherwise, after the war, where should their existence go?

   "This... I only know how to fight."

  David glanced at Hood with a confused face, and simply led him to the west side of the roof, looking at the wide river not far away, and introduced Hood: "That's the Winter River."

  Hood knew this, she was picked up in that river, the vastness of which reminded her of the free-running ocean.

"This river can lead directly to the sea." David introduced the situation of the Winter River to Hood. Needless to say too much upstream, but the downstream directly leads to the sea, which made Hood seem to realize something: "Winter City can Through this river enters the sea, and reaches another country; likewise, the other party can come to me through the Winter River."

   "I understand." Hood nodded, squinting his eyes and looking at the magnificent river in the distance: "This is a job that is very suitable for me."

  She is willing to help David guard Winter City. Anyway, she doesn't know anything else, so it's better to just do what she is good at.

   "Actually, I'm building Winter City's own navy."

  David chatted specifically with Hood. He didn't just want a thug. He also hoped that Hood could help James Norrington better train sailors and cultivate a batch of modern navy seedlings for Winter City as soon as possible.

He knows that this idea is very unrealistic, the difficulty is very high and the success rate is very low. After all, the illiteracy rate of the Winter City army is still very high. Even if James Norrington worked hard to select a group of soldiers who are not so illiterate Actively conduct training, but it is still difficult for all sailors to grow into excellent modern naval officers.

   But no matter how difficult and impractical it is, you have to start doing it. You can’t really wait until the cultural knowledge of Winter City is popularized, and then engage in the navy, right? How many years do you have to wait?

   "Compared with you personally helping defend the enemies from the sea, I hope you can help me cultivate more talents who can defend the sea area for the city of Winter."

   "Ah, this..." Hood realized that David originally wanted to help him train an excellent navy, but she didn't know if she could do it well, and she was embarrassed to refuse directly: "Let me try."

   "Don't worry, don't worry about not doing well, because in the entire Winter City, there is no one who can do better than you."

  Hood didn't know that David was telling the truth, thinking that he was simply comforting himself and cheering himself up: "Your Earl, you are such a gentle man!"

   "..."

The other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but David did not explain. Instead, he gave Hood a bright smile against the rising sun, and then watched Hood leave the roof of Fort Glamorgan, and went to Eva to ask about the details of the Winter City Navy. The situation went.

  dang lang~

  David looked at a blue square in surprise, which appeared out of thin air where Hood was standing just now, and landed on the ground in front of him.

   "..."

   Bending down to pick up the cube, looking at the blue Rubik's cube, wondering if this means that Hood's favor for him has improved again?

   Could it be that Hood will give him a Rubik's Cube every time his feelings for him increase? But what is the use of this thing?

   "Can't you give me a manual?"

   Speechlessly tossing the Rubik's Cube in his hand up and down, David simply studied on the roof again. It was not until noon that David left the roof and went downstairs, and came to the office to listen to Megatron's report through the communication device.

Ever since the Great Cleanup Plan for the Northern Plains was drawn up, Megatron has been in charge of commanding work in Snowfield Fortress. According to Megatron’s report, the Spartan heavy infantry is currently cleaning up the orcs in the area east of Snowfield Fortress. The Knights had already destroyed several orc towns and factories in a row. According to this efficiency, it would not be long before the orcs in the northern plains would be completely scattered.

   "My lord, do you want to take back the power properly and give the orcs a chance to regroup?"

What Megatron means is to bring back the army of Winter City, so that the orcs think that Winter City will not continue to chase them, and then gather together again, so that Winter City only needs to seize the opportunity to solve it at once. The orcs are in trouble.

   "No, just take this opportunity to train well." It's not a good thing for the Spartan heavy infantry to stay in the barracks all the time, and it's not a good thing to let these "rookie recruits" see their blood after being released to fight a few battles.

  And this kind of long-term and tedious task can hone the soldiers' spiritual will and allow commanders and soldiers to cultivate more tacit understanding.

  The scattered orcs outside can also give the Decepticons more opportunities to attack, effectively reducing the probability of the Decepticons staying at home for a long time and causing trouble.

   "That's it! Wait until the orc villages and towns are completely destroyed, and there are no more orcs gathered in the east, then you can return to Winter City."

"OK!"

Megatron obeyed David's orders unconditionally, and judging from the situation during this period, Megatron also controlled the Decepticons very well. The Decepticons did begin to integrate into Winter City, and nothing happened. The question comes.

   Originally, David was not sure whether it was good or bad to absorb Decepticons to become residents of Winter City.

  Now that everything is going well, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

   Then he got in touch with Gareth Stanton, the commander of the Winter Knights, who is now sent to Iron Tree Fort by him.

"grown ups."

   "How is the situation over there?"

   "It's okay, but the battle situation on Iron Tree Fort is much more intense than expected." Gareth reported and transmitted some pictures.

  David played the picture directly, and a very realistic holographic image appeared on his desk.

With just a glance, David recognized that the fortress was the defensive fortress on the northwest side of Iron Tree Fort. At this time, countless human soldiers and elves in Iron Tree Fort fought together, and the most conspicuous ones on the battlefield were the elves. I don't know if it is a giant tree that is a creature or a plant.

  These giant trees rampage on the battlefield, swinging their arms can knock several heavily armored soldiers into the air. This is also the key factor for the elves to take advantage of the battlefield even though they are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment.

  However, the number of these giant trees is not large, and the human soldiers and knights of Iron Tree Fort are not completely unable to deal with them, so the human side is only slightly disadvantaged, and it is not so easy for the elves to win.

   But even so, the cloud of war hangs over Iron Tree Fort. The nobles in the inner city are not doing well, and the civilians in the outer city have begun to feel panic.

  They were not worrying blindly, because the elves did break through the outer defense line and attacked the outer city, but the follow-up force couldn't keep up, and finally retreated back to the Iron Tree Forest.

   "Now it's not just the people who were forced to relocate who want to leave Iron Tree Fort as soon as possible, but even the local civilians in Iron Tree Fort also want to leave."

  The only problem is that these people are afraid of being attacked by elves on the way to Winter City, so they dare not go north. After all, if they go north, they have to walk a long way along the Iron Tree Forest.

   "I asked Optimus Prime to take a team of Autobots and Spartan heavy infantry to guard."

  David didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. The elves attacked Iron Tree Fort like crazy, and could it increase his population?

   But think about it, this is normal. Whenever war breaks out, civilians will always be forced to move to avoid disaster. This kind of thing has happened many times in history, and it even promotes the development of originally relatively desolate areas.

   "If the entire Kingdom of Tilan is caught in the quagmire of war, the development of Winter City will be faster."

  Thinking further, David can also lead the army south under the banner of 'putting down the rebellion'. By then, he will claim an army of 830,000 and scare these guys to death.
