Age of Empires From Scratch

Without calling the driver alone, David picked a convertible off-road vehicle from the garage, started it, and drove Gwen towards the Cold Winter Barracks.

This car was produced by Winter City and uses a crystal mine engine.

However, all subsequent cars and aircraft will be replaced with new engines, and this design of directly installing crystal ore into the engine will no longer be used.

But no matter how it is improved, David, as the lord, will have various types of prototype cars here. Even if they are not used in normal times, they can be placed in a large enough garage as a display—it can be regarded as a record of the development of Winter City. !

However, David chose this car mainly because of the open top and the ability to take multiple people.

If it's just me and Gwen, the Mustang sports car that I carry with me is actually more suitable.

"Who's going to get under the table next? Sophia? Helen? Laura?" As soon as the car pulled out of the garage, Gwen suddenly asked a question: "Do you need my help?"

"..."

David looked at Gwen speechlessly. Could it be that Gwen is jealous? But when he saw Gwen's eyes that seemed to be shining, he realized that he had guessed wrong.

Could it be that because she was the first, she wanted to drag more people into the water after seeing others suffer too?

"I'm afraid Laura will push you under the table then."

Gwen shuddered when he thought of something, and resolutely gave up this dangerous idea.

She couldn't beat Laura, and Helen didn't need to help at all. As for Sophia... such a cute little sister, she couldn't help her.

But thinking that such a good little girl was harmed by the beasts beside her, Gwen reminded David: "Speaking of which, don't bully Sophia, she is still young."

"..."

David wanted to complain that she was not young, so he held back and didn't open his mouth, but the people around him didn't fight, fight, poison, or plot against each other, and they had a good relationship with each other, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief!

After driving into the Cold Winter Barracks, he found out where the camp of the Tiran Knights was after a little inquiring.

As more and more soldiers joined the Winter Army, the establishment of the Winter Army gradually increased, and the Winter Army Camp also began to divide exclusive areas belonging to each army.

The trump card of the Duke of Winter, the absolute confidant of the Duke of Winter, such as the Winter Knights, can naturally give priority to dividing the territory.

After that, the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment, who followed Winter City and made many exploits, had already determined their own camp.

Although the Tilan Knights are the trump card of the Tilan Kingdom, after all, they have just joined Winter City and have not made any military exploits. In addition, they are still in the process of reorganization and training, so they only got the "assigned" barracks and resident.

However, there is no shortage of land in Winter City. When the Winter Barracks was first built, a large area was enclosed, so the camp of the Tiran Knights is not small, but the location is slightly off, and some training equipment needs to be temporarily built.

After such a long period of time, the Tiran Knights had already completed the required facilities and equipment, but after Cirvanas took over the training work, they ordered a batch of new equipment.

At the same time, she moved the barracks of the Tiran Knights further into the forest.

Therefore, the Tiran Knights are currently located in the deepest part of the Winter Barracks, next to the Winter Forest.

To some extent, the Tiran Knights can be regarded as the outermost line of defense in Winter City? Although no enemies will appear in this direction under normal circumstances.

When David arrived, he found that it wasn't just Clarice and her Wolverine Logan and Magneto Eric Lanshere who came to visit the Tiran Knights training.

Sophia and Sutton Stewart, the chief and deputy heads of the Tiran Knights, were both present.

"Your training is over?"

"No, rest today." When Sutton saw David coming, he greeted him warmly. After all, he would work and eat under this subordinate in the future.

Even so, there are some habits he can't get rid of, or he doesn't want to change at all: "What race is that girl named Clarice? Elf?"

"..." David glanced at Clarice, who was introducing something to Magneto not far away. This mutant with a flickering code name has a very unique appearance. It is normal to be misunderstood as not being a human: "She is a human, It's just because of the mutant gene, it looks more unique."

"Oh~" Sutton nodded to express his understanding, and then he asked a question that surprised David: "Can she join the Knights of Tiran?"

"ah?"

"I heard that you plan to train the Tiran Knights to become the strongest ground mobile force in Winter City."

"so?"

"This ability called Clarice is very suitable for the Knights of Tiran." He knew that Clarice had the ability to teleport through Sophia.

The development direction of the Tiran Knights is no secret at this time, and the fact that the Winter Alchemy Workshop is designing new armor for them has also spread throughout the army.

The Duke has already shown that he attaches great importance to the Knights of Tilan, and the next thing is to see what kind of performance the members of the Knights of Tilan can show in return.

The whole of Winter City was staring at the Tiran Knights. In this case, even a big-hearted person like Sutton felt the pressure.

The reason for wanting to attract special talents into the Tiran Knights is to be able to show more exciting performances in the future.

"I don't object to your idea in principle, but Clarice is not from Winter City yet."

"About this, I'm still very optimistic about you." Earl Sutton Stewart didn't know where the Cybertronians, the high elves came from, and the guy who just came to Winter City recently and called himself a Kryptonian .

But David was able to attract so many 'races' to join Winter City, which shows that he is very good at this aspect.

I don't plan to join the team, and I don't even want to inquire about the real origins of these people. Anyway, he will know when he needs to know. Now that no one tells me, it means that he doesn't need to know about those situations.

After saying hello, Sutton walked aside and continued chatting with his niece.

The content of the two chats was also about the situation of the Tiran Knights. Although Sophia was only a nominal leader, how could she think that as a leader, she didn't even understand her subordinates?

In addition, Her Royal Highness watched it in person, which indeed aroused the enthusiasm of the Tiran knights for training, so no one disliked Sophia often coming to the training ground.

David also greeted Sophia, maybe it was to maintain the majesty of the head of the group and Her Royal Highness, or maybe it was too full to eat yesterday, Sophia was very calm, just greeted with a reserved smile.

After finishing all this, David came to Clarice and the others.

Gwen was already standing here, attracting the attention of the two guests and buying David a little free time to say hello to the two.

After Gwen and the others chatted for a few words, David appeared just in time. As guests, the two of them would not feel that they were being ignored, and even if they saw through, they would express their understanding.

"This is the lord of Winter City, David, Duke of Glamorgan."

"This is Eric Lanshere; this is James Howlett, you can call him Logan."

Clarice introduced each other to each other, and David did not jokingly relieve the atmosphere like when he met the phantom cat before.

Both parties knew that what was going to be discussed next was a major issue related to whether the mutants and the earthlings in that world could continue to survive. It would be better to have less jokes when talking about such a serious topic.

"I heard Clarice mention the two of you."

Among the surviving mutants, Magneto King Eric Lanshere and Wolverine Logan are all mutants with extremely high seniority, leaders, mentors and other identities.

These two came to Cold Winter City, and to some extent, they came here on behalf of all mutants.

"Your Excellency the Duke."

Because they are old enough and well-informed, although it feels amazing to go to another world, the two quickly accepted everything and maintained enough respect for David's status as a feudal lord.

"Welcome both of you to Winter City."

"I am also very grateful to the Duke for his warm invitation."

"After the two visited, what do you think of Winter City?"

Faced with such a direct question, Eric and Logan looked at each other, and Logan answered David's question: "It's a beautiful city, and there are many amazing things...and people."

While speaking, Logan glanced to the side, where a Cybertronian was sitting there, serving as the Tiran Knights to train imaginary enemies.

He had seen a lot of this huge metal robot in Winter City. Through Clarice's introduction, he knew that this huge robot was actually a special race of life called Cybertronians.

Coupled with the high elf priests who walked by from time to time in the barracks, Logan has fully realized that Winter City is a city where multiple races coexist.

Here, mutants don't appear to be anything special.

Especially for a mutant like Clarice who has obvious changes in appearance, the kind of love she showed for the city can be seen without being blind.

Logan knew why, he had seen too many fellow mutants who were rejected by humans because of their differences in appearance.

That is to say, the sentry later caused a greater crisis, otherwise there would be an unknown number of mutant children who would grow up or die under all kinds of strange eyes.

But here in Winter City, Clarice has never felt that kind of sight full of 'disgust', at most someone will look at it curiously, and there is no negative emotion in that sight that makes her uncomfortable.

For a moment, Logan felt that Winter City was a good choice: if the other party was willing to accept all mutants and other survivors on Earth.

Turning to look at Magneto next to him, Logan knew that it didn't matter what he thought, because Magneto and Professor X thought of a way to save their own world.

Visiting Winter City in person today is actually an alternative: at the same time, it is also a chance for the remaining mutants to choose.

Because according to the plan of Magneto and Professor X, even if it succeeds, these surviving mutants will no longer exist.

In other words, these people on the New World Line are no longer who they are now.
