Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 78 Counting One Two Three Four Five

  David did not continue to talk about the temple with Fording, after all, that is not something to deal with right now. Instead, I asked how much chronicle content Fording has read? How are those games going?

"I've finished all the campaign plots of Warcraft, and with the content in the chronicle, I already know what's going to happen next." Fording sighed. I didn't expect that there would be so many disasters in my world, and the natural disasters and plagues that were about to break out were just the beginning. Compared with the previous war with the orcs, it was nothing at all.

   "Have you figured out what to do next?"

   "I have thought of many ways, but Lordaeron doesn't have much room for maneuver." After Fording briefly explained, David understood the specific situation. It is less than a day since the natural plague plague broke out in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Alsace slaughtered Stratholme, went to Northrend and returned with Frostmourne to stab the old king, and led the Scourge to sweep the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom. The time of the year is about to happen.

  The Burning Legion, Ner'zhul the Lich King, and the Dreadlord, all parties have completed various deployments, and now those things are on track, just waiting for the right opportunity to erupt—Alsace, this is the opportunity.

   Now Fording wants to extinguish all kinds of crises from the source, it is already impossible.

"If I am still the great lord of Hearthglen, then there is still some hope. Now..." Fording sighed helplessly. The destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is inevitable. All he can do seems to be how to save Many civilians who suffered from natural disasters: "I hope the Kingdom of Stormwind can help."

Hearing what Fording said, David knew that Fording had made up his mind to trouble Onyxia, but David was not optimistic about the help of the Stormwind Kingdom: "Maybe King Varian is willing Help, but the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom... hehe."

  Varian may be a hero, but is he really a good king? This question is really hard to answer. If the villagers in the cafeteria were to answer, Varian would only be judged as a fool.

"Other than that, I can only think of going back to Hearthglen." Although Fording was deprived of his status as the great lord of Hearthglen and expelled from the territory, but in Fording's favor, in Lordaeron When the kingdom is in a huge crisis, go back and raise your arms, and it is not difficult to regain control of Hearthglen.

   Even, once the news of Fording's return to Hearthglen spreads, the paladins of the Silver Hand Knights who were defeated by the Scourge also have a clear target, which may avoid subsequent splits.

With such a powerful military force, and Fording, one of the five first-generation paladins, commanding it, Hearthglen will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the Scourge. Fighting casually, suppressing the remnants of the Silver Hand, they will no longer bother after defeat, and finally become an important base for the Scarlet Crusade.

  Alsace will definitely do his best to eliminate the threat of Fording before continuing to attack Quel'Thalas with confidence.

   "In this way, it may be possible to avoid the destruction of Silvermoon City and the Sunwell..." Fording didn't know if his idea would succeed, but he had to try it.

  Heartglen is his territory, where his wife and son live. Could it be that he just watched the natural disasters raging without doing anything?

  Whether it is as a great lord, or as a husband and father, he must do something.

At this time, David could only express his support: "Remember, Cold Winter Village will be your solid backing." He didn't say that the situation was really critical, and he took people to Cold Winter Village. Fording is not Stupid, he knows when to retreat.

"I'm very confident in my next move, because I know you will fully support me." Fording patted David's "thin" shoulder. Although the time we spent together was not particularly long, he believed that David would Offer all the help you can offer when you speak up.

At the same time, the existence of Cold Winter Village is also the confidence for him to choose to go back. Even if he really can't hold Hearthglen, as long as he can gather enough civilians and save more knights of the Silver Hand, he will not be able to make this trip. It's a failure! The big deal is to bring everyone to Lindong Village before the city is broken.

   Someone! There are paladins! Lordaeron kept the seeds, leaving new hope for the future. If he was lucky enough, he might be able to retain the blood of the Lordaeron royal family, so that the Kingdom of Lordaeron would not be completely destroyed.

  David didn't know what Fording was thinking at this time, but he could more or less guess one thing: Anyone who had read the chronicles and knew something about the plot of Warcraft would think of this. In connection with Fording's identity, it is impossible for him to ignore the royal blood that accidentally survived the invasion of the Scourge: Calia Menethil, the sister of Arthas Menethil.

   "By the way, if possible, I hope to get more weapons." This sentence was not addressed to David, but to Laura who was on the side.

  In fact, when Fording and David talked, everyone kept quiet, including when Jonah brought the stew up, and did not disturb the two.

   Sheldon, who had been arguing with Leonard earlier about whether to go back for dinner, kept quiet at this moment, wanting to hear more 'breaking news'.

"Ordinary weapons may not be very effective against the undead creatures of the Scourge. Get more heavy machine guns, mortars, incendiary bombs and the like!" David felt that if enough weapons were placed on the walls of Hearthglen Heavy machine guns may be able to minimize the numerical advantage of the Scourge.

"No problem, leave it to me." After a period of adaptation, Laura has figured out the actual power of her company. Buying weapons is no longer as troublesome as before. If she wants to, she can go overseas. Large quantities of weapons were purchased, and even heavy weapons could be purchased, mainly because they could not be transported to Rinwinter Village: "Do you want to buy some landmines?"

"Of course I have to buy it." Fording has already conceived the outer defense line of Hearth Valley in his mind. There will definitely be a lot of potholes, horse repellents, and barbed wire. Of course, landmines must also be arranged. If possible, he would like to get some. A heavy cannon went back, but it was a bit difficult: "What else can I get?"

   "This, I may have to inquire about it to be sure."

   "Okay, I'll wait for your news." Fording is not in a hurry, and he wants to solve the problem of the black dragon in Stormwind City now, and he still wants to try his best to get the foreign aid of Stormwind Kingdom.

More importantly, it is useless for him to go back early. Before the crisis broke out completely, he was still a "sinner" and was not allowed to return to his own territory. Only when the crisis broke out and the Kingdom of Lordaeron fell into chaos could he be reasonable. go back. Although it made people speechless, there was nothing he could do.

   After several people chatted, Sheldon and Leonard let out a long breath: "Wow, I heard something amazing."

"Tirion Fordring vs. Arthas Menethil, is the decisive battle of Icecrown Glacier going to be staged in Hearthglen in advance?" Sheldon's eyes were shining, and he wanted to watch it in person, but unfortunately He already knew he couldn't go to Azeroth: "What a pity."

   After talking about the business, everyone quickly finished the delicious stew, and then came to the back of David's wooden house again, which is where the spherical crystals were buried.

   After clearing away the snow that covered the ground again, everyone still didn't see any crystal ore popping up.

   "Give it some time!" David sighed helplessly: "It seems that this thing can't grow just by counting one, two, three, four, five."

  Everyone dispersed one after another, and David also returned to his wooden house, preparing to practice holy light in the wooden house to pass the free time today.

  Because of the snow, no one thought of exercising outside. Leonard and Sheldon chose to stay at home when there was no excitement to watch.

  Will continued to study the crystal ore in the blacksmith shop. After discovering that the crystal ore can strengthen weapons, he wanted to try whether he could directly use the crystal ore itself to make weapons.

   In addition, he also received an additional order from David, which is to use the light cast iron that Fording gave David to build various parts according to the drawings brought by Laura. Will, who has acquired a lot of knowledge, can tell at a glance that this is a pistol part. It seems that David wants to build a pistol made of light cast iron. Will is also very curious about the gun made of this metal. Will there be any special effects.

  So, the little blacksmith who used to be the most leisurely in the village has been busy going around recently. He only has some free time before the break at night, so he goes to Port Royal to find Elizabeth on a date.

Mark is free, and he has no way to continue planting new varieties of vegetables after entering the winter. On the contrary, he has planted a lot of crops before, making him the man with the most variety of vegetables in the village—Mark did not hide his secrets. All were handed over to Jonah so that Jonah could make more delicacies.

  But today, Mark took out several processed vegetables from the cafeteria and came to David's cabin: "You want Chinese cabbage, small cabbage, and potatoes."

There were no documents and books on David's desk, but a strangely shaped copper object: there was an opening at the bottom, and there were a few pieces of burning coals inside, like smoke coming from the top of a chimney column, and the surrounding basins Filled with clean water, it has begun to boil.

"What's this?"

"Of course we want to eat hot pot in this kind of heavy snow." David didn't look up at Mark, turned around and took a few bags of base ingredients from Laura, and then poured them all into the water. He was satisfied only when he saw the clear water turn red. Nodded: "Where is Jonah?"

   "He's slicing meat and fish, come over soon."
