Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 81 The news brought back by Addis

   "Ah, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow!" David stood at the head of the village, looking at the endless scenery of the snowfield, and began to read a poem, but it disappeared after he started: "What's the next sentence?"

  Although his mental power has been greatly improved, the knowledge that has not been used for a long time is like an item stacked in the corner of the warehouse, and it takes some time to remember it.

  He didn't remember it yet, but a small figure had already walked in front of him. It was the old hunter Addis who had been away for a while.

  David stood here, seeing that Adis came back, and he was here to greet him: "He's back!"

   "Well, this trip took a little longer, and..." Addis tightened the heavy cloak on his body: "I'm a little unprepared for the winter in this area."

Although it was troublesome to collect information in Iron Tree Fort, it did not bother Addis, an old hunter. In addition to inquiring a lot of information through the relationship in Iron Tree Fort, he also found his elf friend and got more information from him. .

  Because of the long-term war with humans, the elves in the Iron Tree Forest are also trying their best to collect all the information they can. It is impossible to tell Addis all these things, but some of them can be revealed.

  After sorting out all kinds of information and confirming that he could no longer get more information, Addis wanted to return to Winter Village before the weather was 'not too cold'.

   As a result, he underestimated the horror of winter on the northern plains. Winter had only just entered Iron Tree Fort, and this side had already turned into a vast white snowfield.

  The open terrain was not obstructed by anything, and it also made Addis feel the cold wind like a knife.

  In this case, it was impossible for him to walk back to Cold Winter Village, so he had to turn around and go back to Iron Tree Fort. After buying enough cold clothes and more food, he really set foot on the road back to Cold Winter Village.

   "However, I've only been away for a few months, right?" Addis looked at the bustling Cold Winter Village and wondered if he had gone in the wrong direction and walked to another village? I have only been away for such a short time, why are there so many people in the village?

  David took Adis to the cafeteria, and briefly talked about what happened recently.

  When he heard that Fording had recruited 400 people, and all of them were craftsmen and their families, the old hunter's expression was as wonderful as it was, and he finally couldn't help the question he had held back for a long time.

   "Tirion Fordring, should he come from a very powerful family?"

"It is indeed very powerful." David thought for a while. Fording, as the lord of Hearthglen in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, is considered the top nobleman in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. One of the paladins and other auras, the Fording family undoubtedly stands at the top of the human race in the world of Azeroth.

   "Then why did he come here?" What Adis couldn't understand was if the Fording family was really so powerful, why would Tirion come to the remote Winter Village? Why are you willing to help David?

   "For some reason, Tirion was banished."

   "Oh!" Addis didn't ask too much. He knew it would not be a good thing when he heard that he was expelled. It's no wonder that Fording came to live in a remote place like Cold Winter Village.

  The two came to the cafeteria quickly, pushed open the door of the cafeteria and stepped in, the warm air hit Addis's face, making his face that was about to be frozen to 'live' instantly: "It's so hot!"

Looking around, there are many people sitting in this vast cafeteria. Everyone greeted David warmly when they saw David coming in. Addis stood at the door and watched for a while, and he could see these new villagers , I have great respect for David, the village chief.

   "Why is it so warm in here?"

   "Because of that." David pointed to the radiators installed around the house: "That is a kind of heating equipment called a radiator, so that people in the village don't have to worry about the cold environment outside."

"Good thing!" Although he didn't understand how this kind of thing works, after experiencing the power of the radiator, Adis also realized that this thing is very important for the cold winter village, a village in a place of severe cold. What kind of value does it have.

The villagers don't have to worry about the cold in winter, plus they can produce crops stably and get enough food to live. Then ordinary villagers will be willing to live for a long time. Treat this place as home and don't want to leave.

  Hundreds of people who are willing to live here for a long time, including craftsmen, David's Winter Village will even become the most prosperous village in this area.

   In this way, he doesn't seem to have to worry about what happens next year.

"not worried?"

"Um!"

  When David saw Addis, he noticed the unconcealable sadness on the old hunter's face, and guessed that the news he had heard was not very good for Cold Winter Village.

  Seeing that Addis no longer looks worried, I guess that the troubles I will face next year may not be as serious as I expected.

"Drink some hot soup to warm your lower body first... This is Jonah, Laura's friend, and now he is the cook in the village. At the farthest corner of the bar, they chatted in a low voice about the news that Addis had inquired about this time.

  According to Addis's description, after the spring of next year, at least ten or more families will send teams to the northern plains to reclaim land and build villages.

  These families are strong and weak, and some weak families will unite with other families. Anyway, the nobles of Iron Tree Castle have acted collectively, at least a few of them have not acted.

   "Most of them are concentrated between Cold Winter Village and Snowfield Castle."

  It is not surprising that most villages choose this area. According to the information currently available at Iron Tree Fort, the area around Rinwinter Village is relatively safe.

   Further south, it is too close to the Iron Tree Forest, and is likely to be attacked by elves like the previous pioneering team.

The east side of the northern plain, that is, the east side of Snowfield Fortress, although there is a vast land, but because of the existence of orcs, only a few people who are strong, or who are confident in their own strength, are going to go to that area to occupy a larger area. soil of.

"Someone actually wants to go to the east to build a village? In this case, the elves can't really scare those guys!" The humans of Iron Tree Fort have been fighting the elves in the Iron Tree Forest for so many years, and they have always been in the upper hand, otherwise Iron Tree Fort would not be possible. Become the largest timber supplier in the Kingdom of Tiran.

  The elves in the iron tree forest have nothing to do with humans, so they watch the other party keep cutting down the iron trees, making the living area of ​​the elves shrink continuously.

   "Yes." Addis also said the news he had inquired from the elves by the way: "So, the elves are going to take the initiative this time."

   "Oh! If that's the case, it will be exciting."

   It is normal for the elves to take the initiative to attack, otherwise they will be attacked from the southeast and north by the humans of Iron Tree Fort, and the elves will have a bad life in the future. They must eliminate the hidden dangers in one direction before the humans gain a firm foothold.

  David was very curious, after the elves wiped out the human village this time, would they continue to retreat to the forest, or would they build a fort directly north of the iron tree forest?

  If they retreat to the depths of the forest again, humans will continue to build villages here, bit by bit eating away at the power of the elves.

   But if the elves are going to build a fortress, it will be interesting. Will the entire northern plain become a multi-force melee among the three races?

"Next year, this desolate plain will become very lively." Addis drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup, and after warming up, he took off his heavy cloak and turned to look at the cafeteria. A large number of villagers are waiting: "However, as long as those guys don't join forces to deal with us, we don't have to worry about anything."

  The biggest problem in the past was the inability to recruit more villagers. Now this problem has been solved, and a few hundred people can be counted as a town in the Kingdom of Tilan. As long as these populations are properly utilized, Lindong Village can become the largest town in the northern plains.

   "Now that there is enough population, do you want to submit an application to upgrade Rinwinter Village to Rinwinter Town?"

   "I'm already making preparations for this." All kinds of documents have been prepared, and the next step is to wait for Van Cleef's design drawings, and then the entire village will start upgrading various facilities.

  He doesn't need to wait until the project is completed, as long as the construction is started and there is a rough plan, he can bring the relevant documents to Iron Tree Fort to apply for an upgrade.

"The iron tree castle may not handle this matter for you happily." Addis didn't know that the cold winter village could develop so fast before he set off, but he still inquired about the iron tree castle nobles' attitude towards the cold winter village. Attitude - not to mention any attitude, most of them ignore this small village.

However, if Cold Winter Village wants to be upgraded to Cold Winter Town, these nobles cannot ignore it. This means that David will become a noble, which means that there will be more forces on the northern plains to grab land and resources, not to mention Frey. A family like Ster, who originally wanted to swallow up Cold Winter Village.

   "So there is a high probability that I will go to the Royal City." Hearing the news that Addis came back from inquiring, David felt that he must go to the Royal City: "It just so happens that I haven't been to the Royal City."

   “This is not going on a trip.”

"not much differences."

When Adis faced David, he always had the feeling that he would be **** off at any time. This kid has been like this since he was a child. Things that others valued seem to be trivial things that are not worth caring about in his eyes. He originally thought that joining the pioneering team would Tell him to 'clear up', but he made a big noise and came back, leaving Addis very speechless.

   "If you're going to the Royal City, it's best to ask Laura to help you buy a decent set of clothes and more gifts... Otherwise, I'll go with you next year!"

   "What? Don't worry about me?"

   "Hmm! Don't worry!"
