Age of Empires From Scratch

Standing on the cold winter pier, looking at the several fishing boats parked beside the pier, rising and falling with the wind and waves, Sophia looked at it with great interest for a while, and then turned her gaze to the military pier a certain distance away.

Compared with the fishing boats next to it, the cruiser transformed by Skyfire is undoubtedly more conspicuous: "The Winter River is so vast."

Looking at the boat, but talking about the river.

"Where does the river lead to?"

"Follow the river to the west, and eventually it will sail into the sea."

"Sea? Does it lead to the sea?" The Kingdom of Tilan is considered an inland country, and there is no coastline throughout the kingdom. After the establishment of Winter City, it sails to the sea to the west through the Winter River, which is the only outlet of the Kingdom of Tilan. .

David did not report this information, and even His Majesty the King didn't know that his country now had an outlet to the sea.

Tell Sophia about this now, maybe His Majesty King Abelson will know the news soon, right?

David was thinking about this when Sophia suddenly turned to look at herself.

"how?"

"Do you need me to help you keep it a secret?"

"You mean out of the sea?"

"Yeah!" Sophia nodded violently a few times: "I don't need to tell anyone!"

David looked at the young princess, and suddenly wanted to know what she thought, why didn't she reject this marriage? And looking at it like this, did you make up your mind to marry yourself?

Asking the question directly, I thought Sophia would be a little embarrassed, but Her Royal Highness was only stunned for two seconds, and then gave an irrefutable answer: "If I don't marry you, I will marry someone else. I know if I can stay in Tilan..."

As the princess of Tilan Kingdom, this is Sofia's inescapable fate!

Her marriage is not simply a marriage, it will be mixed with many, many additional factors.

Comparing the various situations, it will be found that marrying David is a pretty good choice for Sofia herself: she has met David, and she also has a good impression of David.

David, who is young, handsome, powerful, and possesses impressive abilities, must be better than a stranger she has never seen before and has no idea what kind of character he is.

What's more, if she married David, she could still stay in Tilan. If for some reason, she was married abroad, she might not be able to return to her hometown for the rest of her life.

What's even more frightening is that if she is really married to another country, she may have to maintain the majesty of Princess Tilan at all times, and she will never be able to do what she wants or likes to do as she pleases.

That kind of life is too scary, even if she knows her own destiny and mission, she is not willing to choose that kind of future.

Listening to Sophia's description, David found that the other party's reasons were indeed very good, and he would have made the same choice if he were faced with a similar situation.

He took Sophia to the military pier for another round, and even boarded the deck of the cruiser transformed by Skyfire, and stood on the deck to feel the strong north wind on the lower river.

Sophia, who closed her eyes and felt for a while, suddenly took off the necklace around her neck, and then she really felt the winter in Winter City, especially when it was windy.

"It's so cold!"

David moved quickly, and raised his hand to release a holy light to protect the princess, then took the necklace from Sophia's hand, and put it back on Sophia's neck.

At this time, Sophia was still looking down at the golden light lingering around her body: "What is this?"

"Holy light."

"Holy light?"

"Well, it's a magical power..."

Putting the necklace that maintained the temperature back on for Sofia, David briefly introduced the Holy Light to Sofia, and by the way, introduced the Cathedral of the Holy Light and the Church of the Holy Light.

"Sounds a bit like a temple?"

"The difference is still noticeable."

The gods enshrined in the temple are gods with names and surnames. This is not the case in the teachings of the Holy Light Church, and the so-called Holy Light is not a clear individual.

Chatting and chatting, the sun gradually set, and the night gradually shrouded Winter City.

Because it is winter, the sun sets earlier, the sky is already dark, but it is not yet dinner time.

But the dignified princess, even if she is dating her 'fiancé', she can't stay home under the dark sky, so even though she still has many curious things, she still rides the iron sheet back to the cold winter hotel. In a high-end residential area.

"There are many interesting things here, and I am very much looking forward to tomorrow's visit."

"There will be more interesting things tomorrow. Your Royal Highness, please rest well and recharge your spirits." Tomorrow's visit is not just to entertain Princess Sophia, Earl Sutton Stewart is also an important guest.

At the same time, the main place to visit tomorrow is the Cold Winter Barracks. Although a lot of information will be exposed, it is also an opportunity to show strength.

After bidding farewell to Princess Sophia, after David returned to the office of Fort Glamorgan, he was discussing with Etiquette Officer Elias, Commander of the Winter Knights Gareth Stanton, Deputy Commander Floyd and others Tomorrow's business.

In addition, there is also a laser bird standing on David's desk. The laser bird appears here to represent the Decepticons. Zhentian can also discuss things with David through the laser bird.

No way, although the Decepticons have joined Cold Winter City, when Fort Glamorgan was built, the internal buildings were all built according to the standard of "people", and the meeting with the Cybertronians was not considered.

However, it is said that Megatron and Optimus Prime have decided to establish a Cybertron technology research center in the Cybertron living area, and the first key research topic is the deeper application of Cybertron compression technology.

The goal of the research is to allow the Cybertronians to maintain a body shape similar to that of a human for a long time without affecting the efficiency of combat and transformation - Cybertronian compression technology can compress them to the size of ordinary humans, but this compression It will cause various side effects, such as longer deformation time and so on.

As for the fact that they didn't study this technology before, it was because there was no need for it.

Now Megatron feels that he needs to further strengthen his compression technology. He doesn't want to have Laser Bird to help broadcast every meeting.

"Tomorrow's tour route has been basically determined: start with farmland and residential areas, followed by garbage, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, water plants, and finally military camps."

The tour routes are all drawn up by Elias, and the order should consider route, time, lunch and so on.

"If all goes well, we will be able to arrive at the barracks at noon. After a simple lunch in the barracks, we will start to visit various areas in the barracks, various weapons and equipment, and some combat power displays."

After Elias finished talking about the entire process, the next step is the work of the two commanders.

"My lord, when demonstrating the combat power of the Winter Knights, do you have to hold back appropriately?" Although Gareth Stanton was appointed by His Majesty King Abelson to become David's personal guard knight, he has always been Firmly regard David-Earl of Glamorgan as his object of allegiance, the Earl of Glamorgan is his real monarch.

So at this time, he would only consider David's interests, not the interests of the king or the Kingdom of Tilan.

"No, there's no need for that!" David waved his hand, saying that it would be fine to perform the demonstration according to the normal situation: "Even if Earl Stewart knows the actual combat power of the Winter Knights, when he returns to the capital, he will send the information." By the time it was reported, the information had already become outdated."

The Winter Knights have already embarked on the fast track, especially after Tony Stark, a guy who likes to tinker with black technology, officially settled in Winter City, the equipment of the Winter Knights is constantly being updated.

At present, the winter knights are generally equipped with the test-type blizzard power armor, which is also the equipment that will be used in the demonstration tomorrow.

In fact, the official version of Blizzard Power Armor has been finalized, and several sets have been produced for testing.

For some time to come, the Winter Knights will slowly switch to the official model of Blizzard Power Armor.

The official model of Blizzard Powered Armor, in addition to better internal systems and facilities, has also significantly improved its combat effectiveness: Cybertron energy shield, greater mobility and strength increase, more powerful shock absorption system, and so on.

In addition, a new generation of rifles tentatively code-named flute is still being tested.

As for why it is called a flute? It was because David named the standard pistol in Winter City as a piano, so Tony randomly chose a musical instrument as the code name for the new rifle.

A lot of new weapons are waiting to be installed, and the soldiers of the Winter Knights have begun to receive Paladin training, and their combat power will soon be greatly improved, so there is no need to hide these things currently in hand.

As for things that really need to be hidden, such as fighting methods and new tactics, these things don’t need to be hidden either. In the previous battle in Snowfield Fort, many soldiers in Iron Tree Fort saw how the battle in Winter City was fought. He didn't believe that the information could not be obtained from the capital.

What's more, if I deliberately make a huge difference from the Battle of Snowfield Castle when I present the Winter City army tomorrow, it will cause more suspicion... At this period when the Kingdom of Tilan is preparing to force the population to move to the north, it will cause Suspicion is not a smart thing to do.

After David briefly explained his thoughts, the people in front of them knew what to do tomorrow: train as usual, and show as they want.

Come to think of it, after Winter City has demonstrated enough fighting power, the capital will not continue to insist on sending troops to the northern plains.

"What should we do?" The laser bird, who has not spoken, made a Megatron voice. The Cybertron Legion is also a part of the Winter Legion, but how should they show their abilities tomorrow?

"Let the nitrogen Zeus perform the next flight show, and show the effect of the ground attack by the way."
