Age of Empires From Scratch

The Forrester family is a relatively powerful noble family in Iron Tree Castle, and the current head of the family is Earl Percy Forrester. The current mayor of Frost Cold Town is Sean Forrester, the fourth son of Percy Forrester.

For this Sean Forrester, David has always kept it in his heart, but until today, he has not seen this Sean Forrester in person.

A handsome young man in his early twenties, with a gloomy face, came to the southwest of Frost Chill Town with heavily armed soldiers. A handsome young man in a thick black cloak outside.

Hearing that someone came running, and the person who came was not good, made Sean very upset. When he saw that the person who came to make trouble was a handsome young man, his unhappiness aggravated a bit.

"who are you?"

As soon as Sean asked half a sentence, someone had already whispered in his ear the identity of David and the others.

The border guards of the Kingdom of Tilan, the pioneers and rulers of Winter Town can be ignored, and it is only necessary to focus on the identity of Baron Glamorgan.

Sean was a little bit taken aback when he learned of the other party's identity. He had no idea that the village head of Cold Winter Village would come to him on his own initiative.

Even though the mayor of Cold Winter Village had been lucky enough to upgrade his village to Cold Winter Town, and even hugged His Majesty's big thick legs, Sean didn't pay much attention to this person from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, David is a very lucky mud leg. If he doesn't go to Cold Winter Town to trouble him, he will secretly find a place to rejoice? How dare you run over to provoke him?

That's right, in Sean's view, David's behavior is provocation!

In fact, David came here today to provoke.

"You didn't salute when you saw the Lord Baron? Could it be that the noble children of Iron Tree Castle are so uneducated?"

Sean Forrest was still slandering David in his stomach with a gloomy face, completely ignoring the fact that there was still a 'Lord Baron' in front of him.

It wasn't until Elias reprimanded that Sean realized an extremely embarrassing fact: Even if he looked down on the mayor of Cold Winter Town, he is now the Baron of Glamorgan personally conferred by His Majesty the King of Tilan.

And he, Sean Forrester, is only the son of Earl Forrester, and does not have any title of his own.

After struggling in pain for two seconds, Sean Forrest suppressed the nausea in his heart, and respectfully saluted David who was sitting high on the horse: "Lord Baron."

In order to avoid the other party finding fault, Sean Forrest gave the most standard bowing greeting. After all, he is not a commoner, and he also has an official position. David is not the lord he serves, so there is no need to kneel.

"Nice to meet you, Mayor Forrester."

Sean Forrest heaved a sigh of relief from David's response. He straightened his back again and looked at David who was still sitting upright on the horse again.

Huge anger surged from the bottom of my heart, it was really unacceptable to be looked down upon by the ass people I once looked down upon.

But he couldn't show any dissatisfaction, he could only suppress the anger, and asked the other party why he came here in a calm tone as much as possible.

After all, the situation in Cold Winter Town is too special, and he doesn't want to give the other party any excuses.

"It's nothing important. I just noticed that more new villages and towns began to appear around Cold Winter Town. I think that in order to avoid disputes that may break out, I should determine the boundaries of Cold Winter Town in advance." David used the most peaceful , A tone that seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, telling a seemingly ordinary thing: "After all, no one likes conflicts, are you right? Mayor Forrester."

"The baron is right." Sean Forrest was a little puzzled, wondering what kind of tricks David was trying to play?

As a son of a nobleman, Sean Forrest certainly knew that conflicts broke out due to unclear boundaries, which was very common.

But before the real conflict broke out, no one would determine the so-called town boundaries early.

The reason is very simple. Towns and cities need to be developed, and no one knows how far they will develop in the future. Isn’t the early determination of the boundaries to define the scope of the territory for oneself?

Now such blurring is more in line with the wishes of noble lords, and this boundary can be continuously expanded with development.

Even if this situation is likely to cause conflicts with neighboring nobles, no one has thought of changing this-what if I win by then?

"Tsk, you really are an ignorant commoner." From the bottom of his heart, he satirized David as a fool who didn't understand anything. What's the use of getting the title of Baron? Just stick to your little territory and eat the soil and drink the wind!

From the bottom of his heart, he imagined that he would develop Frost and Cold Town, unite with the surrounding villages and towns to completely block Cold Winter Town in the corner, and expressed his agreement with David's words.

"Lord Baron Glamorgan is right. No one likes conflict. It would be good for everyone if the boundaries can be clearly defined early..."

"Since Mayor Forrester has also expressed his approval, then the matter is settled like this." David waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers following him had already jumped off their horses, carrying the horses loaded on their horses. The reminder board and the wooden plate representing the northeast sentry were all removed.

Then, under the gaze of Sean Forrester with question marks on his face, several soldiers dug a hole on the edge of the farmland in Frost Cold Town and erected the signboard, and then put the piece that symbolized and indeed engraved with Rin The wooden plate of the northeast sentry post in Wintertown is placed under the notice board.

"this……"

It wasn't until the sign was up that Sean Forrest noticed the words "Welcome to Cold Winter Town" written on it, and he realized what David was doing.

"You!" Sean Forrest's face flushed instantly, and even his neck seemed to be two points thicker: "You can't do this!"

"Oh? Why not?" David looked at Sean Forrest with a smile, and was very satisfied with his reaction at this time, wishing he could record it directly: "As the mayor of Cold Winter Town and the leader of the Opening Order Holder, I have the right to build the buildings in Cold Winter Town on any unowned land."

"This is against the rules!"

"I am empowered to do so by the decree of the Kingdom of Tiran."

Sean Forrester had already started to growl, but David still responded with a steady tone. This situation made Sean Forrester's anger even more intense, and he felt that he was being played by this pariah!

The puffing and puffing slowed down for a while, and the reminder board had been firmly inserted there. Several soldiers had already re-buried the hole dug below with soil, and moved a few big stones from nearby to hold it down. , to ensure that the sign is firmly fixed.

After finally suppressing his anger, Sean Forrest secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to express his dissatisfaction: "Master Baron, your sign does not represent Cold Winter Town."

"No, the building that represents Cold Winter Town is the sentry post... see it? It's the round board."

"..." Sean Forester just noticed the board, he was just staring at the sign. But even so, David's behavior is too ridiculous.

He has never seen or even heard of any nobleman who can claim the land as his own with just a random sign and board: "Please forgive me for not accepting it, Lord Baron doesn't think this so-called border is far away from my frost." Is Hanzhen too close?"

It's just a sign of the farmland in Shuanghan Town. How does this make his town reclaim new farmland in the future?

"First of all, I did not infringe half an inch of land in Frost Cold Town. According to the decree of the Kingdom of Tilan, the scope of the territory is based on farmland, buildings, etc., and the sentry post in Cold Winter Town was not built on the farmland in Frost Cold Town."

David pointed to the farmland next to him, and then pointed to the sign next to it. There was a distance of several meters between the two.

It's just that these actions of his were more like provocations than explanations, which made Sean Forrest's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, surge again and become more vigorous.

"Secondly, I am here to inform Mayor Forrester this time that this will be the boundary of Cold Winter Town, not to discuss with Mayor Forrester...Mayor Forrester, you are not qualified to talk to me. Discuss this kind of thing."

David paused, and suddenly thought of something: "Unless, Mayor Forrester is going to pledge his allegiance to me?"

"What... are you kidding me?"

Sean Forest couldn't help but feel that he had suffered the greatest humiliation since he was born, and the angry Sean Forest finally broke out.

"You are humiliating a nobleman of the kingdom!" Sean Forrest's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword at his waist: "I want to duel with you!"

Although angry, Sean Forrest still retains a bit of reason in his head. He didn't attack David directly, let alone let his men go to attack David, or David's men, and even more so. There was no order to tear down that damn northeast sentry post in Coldwinter.

Sean Forrester chose to challenge David himself. As long as he can defeat or even kill this guy on the spot, then all problems will no longer be a problem.

Unfortunately, the exuberant anger still made Sean ignore an important situation.

"Mayor Forrester, as the ceremonial officer of the Kingdom of Tiran, it is necessary for me to remind you that you are not qualified to request a duel from Lord Baron Glamorgan."

David hasn't replied yet. Elias Parker, who has been silent today, finally found a chance to show himself. This time he won't let the guy named Sheldon take the lead: "Instead of your father Frey Lord Earl of Sturt is qualified to duel with Lord Baron Glamorgan."

Sean Forrester had already touched the hilt of his sword, and his fighting spirit and anger were raised to the extreme. Before he could erupt, he was poured a large basin of ice water over his face by an etiquette officer. It was still the kind mixed with ice cubes, which made him dizzy and staring at him.

In the end, the anger hit his heart, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight backwards.
