Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 55 The Calm Before the Storm

   The Bronze Dragon of Azeroth is mainly responsible for protecting the timeline, while the Eternal Dragon is a group of dragons dedicated to destroying the timeline. In a sense, it seems a bit similar to what David and Fording are going to do.

But if you want to say it carefully, there is still a difference-what David and Fording are going to do, there is no damage to the integrity of Azeroth's "history": Fording will still go to save Azeroth, and all races will still have to fight with the Lich This kind of battle is impossible to avoid. After all, the various races in Azeroth do not want to be completely wiped out by the Scourge.

In the longer term, all races of Azeroth will still have a decisive battle with the Burning Legion. These things will not be changed just because Fording rescued a few Lordaeron refugees, or saved a few Quel'Thalas elves. Substantial changes occur.

  Therefore, there is no need for the Bronze Dragon to trouble David.

  Lying on the bed, I fell asleep while thinking wildly, and opened my eyes again before dawn.

  Recently, he had a good rest and was not very tired, and his sleep quality was high, so David didn't need to sleep for too long to recover to his best condition.

  Get up and pack up, David decided to do some simple morning exercises, but as soon as he walked out of the wooden house, he saw Fording was about to set off with a simple bag.

"So early?"

   "You also got up very early." Fording and David greeted: "Since you are awake, you can just go straight away."

"Bon Voyage!"

   "You don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner. I brought a lot of dry food, and I'm going to travel more." Fording waved his hand, said goodbye to David, and left Cold Winter Village.

   Watching Fording's figure disappear, David moved his body and started running around the village.

   To his surprise, he found that Lindong Village, which was not yet dawn, was much more lively than he expected.

   "Pay attention to the left."

A crisp voice rang in my ears, and then a figure with a strong wind passed by at high speed from the left. Although the sky was still dim, David already had excellent eyesight. After training and strengthening during this period, even Even in a relatively dark environment, it can still be seen clearly.

  From the fluttering blond hair and vigorous back, he recognized that it was Sharon Rogers who had just rushed over, but before he had time to say hello to the other party, the other party had already run far away.

Continue to run around the village. As the surrounding land is gradually reclaimed into farmland and filled with potato-based food crops, the "land area" of Lindong Village has become much larger. It is no longer what it used to be, just a few One house is the whole village.

After running for a while, David came to the bank of the Lindong River, and checked the water station in Lower Lindong Village—a small house equipped with water pumping equipment, water purification equipment, generator sets, etc. Durable.

  There are solar panels on the roof, and two wind power equipment like windmills stand beside it.

   This small house is the most 'advanced' place in Lindong Village. Compared with the surrounding primitive pastoral scenery, it stands out a bit out of place.

After checking the situation at the launching station, David walked along the river for a while, and released a spell of holy light, knocking out a plump winter river fish. , the spell that 'explodes' directly on the target is really convenient to use.

   When frying fish, there is no need to worry about missing it! But if Fording sees David frying fish with the Holy Light spell, he doesn't know what his reaction will be.

  Standing by the river, I looked at the river fish floating on the water. It looked a bit like a perch, but it was much bigger. David was about to go into the water to catch the fish back, when he saw the Jenny Turtle strolling over.

   "Squirrel, help me get the fish back."

  Jenny Turtle looked at David, and did not immediately go into the water, but stared at David: "Jenny Jenny?"

   "I'll have Mark make you that sandwich."

  After promising the reward, the Squirtle went into the water with satisfaction, and then brought this plump river fish back to the shore.

  David took the river fish, and then clapped his hands with the Squirrel who climbed ashore: "Let's go back to the village for breakfast."

   "Jenny!"

   As for running or something, David had already thrown it aside, walked through the farmland, and soon returned to the 'village'.

  Looking at the blacksmith shop in front of him, he found that Will, the little blacksmith, had also woken up and was tidying up his blacksmith shop.

   "Good morning, Will."

"Good morning, David." Will turned his head to look at David, and then at the Squirtle next to him. Although it was not the first time he saw this creature, he still felt amazing every time he saw this creature: "Morning , Squirtle."

   "Jenny!"

   "Ready to start working?"

"Yes, but we need to do some preparatory work first. When we eat later, we can just ask everyone what kind of weapons they are used to." Yesterday David specifically mentioned that Will would help make weapons for these people in the village. , he is about to start the preparatory work now: "Is fish for breakfast today?"

  Has the food reserves in the village been eaten up? As the head of the village, David actually wants to get up early to catch fish for everyone? But if there is only one fish, it is not enough to eat, right?

   "It's just an extra meal." He didn't even decide whether the fish should be boiled in soup or steamed.

   Before the words landed, another voice came from beside him: "Pay attention to the left!"

  A gust of wind passed by, but this time Sharron didn't follow the trend to run far enough to disappear, but slowed down and even stopped directly.

  Turning his head, a few strands of golden hair stuck to his forehead, reflecting a faint brilliance against the gradually rising sun.

   "Why don't you run?" Sharon's breath was very steady, she just ran around the village a few times, sweating is the limit, and this amount of exercise is just a warm-up for her.

  When I saw David running in the morning, I thought it would be more fun, but I didn’t expect the village chief to disappear after only half a lap.

   "I was just looking at the situation around the village, and I came back without any abnormalities." It was definitely not to avoid being frantically "watched to the left" by the second-generation Captain America, and terminated the morning run plan ahead of schedule.

In order to prevent people from discovering his true thoughts, David decisively changed the topic: "By the way, I just met you, tell Will what weapons you are good at, and explain the details clearly, and let Will help you tailor it." Build one."

   "Oh? Is there such a good thing?"

   "You should know the situation in the village, right?"

  When David mentioned this, Sharon understood that this quiet and peaceful village was about to face a storm.

It wasn't long before I came to this place, but because Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter were here, Sharon gradually fell in love with this peaceful place. She really didn't want Winter Village to be such a special place. disappear.

  She decided to help before, but she ignored the issue of weapons for a while. Remembering that she and David had fallen into a passive position because of underestimating the enemy, she felt that it was necessary to get herself a handy weapon.

   "The spear and the shield, the spear must be heavy enough in addition to having a sharp point! As for the shield..."

  Sharon immediately said a lot of demands to Will, making the little blacksmith a little confused.

   "Like? Shield?"

  Looking at Sharon's slender figure, even though she already knew that she was not an ordinary person, she still couldn't connect it with these two weapons.

  David carried the river fish and continued to walk forward. As the sun rose, the village became more lively. Mark, who is currently responsible for the food in the village, has also woken up and is making breakfast.

  Give the river fish in his hand to Mark, and David tells him what Fording is busy with during this time, so Fording may come back from time to time to eat and get food and water.

"Then I'll reserve some food, and prepare some convenient biscuits and cans." The food bags in the Mars base have long been eaten up, but Laura sent a lot of cans, compressed biscuits, chocolates and the like Things, the small quantity is mainly used for emergencies.

   Not only for emergency use by the people in Cold Winter Village, but also for her own adventures. Now she can take some out and prepare them for Fording.

   "Well, in addition to this matter, there is also the matter that I agreed with you earlier."

   "What's the matter? Oh, you said to infuse me with the Holy Light?" Mark immediately became excited. He had been looking forward to it for a long time, and he finally had the opportunity to experience what it was like to use the Holy Light.

  David was about to tell Mark that Mark must learn some basic holy light spells in the next few days. It is not required that he can become a qualified paladin or priest immediately, but at least he must be able to protect himself.

I don't expect Mark to play a big role in conflicts, at least not to lose his life when the other party uses some conspiracy or sneak attack-although David doesn't think that the Forrest family will use such a dirty trick There are no means to deal with a civilian, but it is still necessary to take some precautions in advance.

   What if the other party is really such a lowly person? He cannot pin his hopes on the moral standards of his enemies.

  After breakfast, David injected some holy light into Mark, and began to teach Mark how to mobilize and use these holy light energies.

  Thanks to Laura’s study in this area not long ago, David learned from Laura how to teach Mark, so even if Fording and Laura are not there, Mark doesn’t need to fumble around.

  After the basic theoretical knowledge is finished, the next step is to rely on non-stop practice. How to use the holy light to heal and attack the enemy must be mastered through hard work. And relying on the Holy Light to protect himself in the body and exercising frantically to squeeze the body's potential is a passive effect, and now Mark can enjoy this benefit.

  A few days passed, and although he still hadn't mastered the correct way to mobilize the Holy Light, Mark felt that his body had become much better.

   At this time, when David was running in the morning again, he found a corpse in the northeast of the village and at the edge of the forest.
