Chapter 202 The threat from the orcs

  Bringing the souvenir given to him by Captain America Steve, David returned to Cold Winter Town, and then put the small box containing the mind gem into the desk drawer.

  Before closing the drawer, David thought that maybe Steve would throw a few other gems to him in the future, so should he bring Loki and let him visit his drawer?

  David, who was thinking wildly and returned to the bedroom, fell asleep...

  Drinking a lot of alcoholic beverages did not cause David to have any hangovers or trouble getting out of bed, and he even got up earlier than usual.

  Standing on the roof of Glamorgan Castle, David watched the rising sun slowly rise from the horizon, dyeing the brand-new Winter Town with a brilliant color.

  Of course, this is just David's opinion. Regarding the town he built himself, he would have some special emotions in his heart from time to time.

   "Woke up so early today?"

  David was still looking at the city that belonged to him, but he also noticed someone approaching behind him and knew who it was.

   "Aren't you used to sleeping?"

"No, I live here very comfortably, but I will be uncomfortable when I return to Sparta." Helen walked to David's side, stood with him on the edge of the roof, and looked at the building with the most buildings at this time. South of Winter Town.

  As the sun gradually rose, Rinwinter Town gradually became lively, and more and more houses began to light up.

   "Electric lights, running water, and all kinds of electrical appliances." Helen saw many things in Cold Winter Town that she couldn't even dream of, and felt what a real comfortable life is.

   In comparison, the days I lived in Sparta were no different from beasts!

  Because of this huge difference, she was even more reluctant to leave Cold Winter Town, hoping that she could live here forever.

Becoming David's wife is naturally the biggest goal; even if she doesn't succeed, she still hopes to stay here, to plant tea in Sparta, and to bring a group of servants to make Glamorgan Castle lively, all in order to achieve her goal. efforts made.

  In addition to these, when she heard that David wanted to expand the soldiers in Cold Winter Town, she also wanted to provide some help.

"Soldier?"

   "Yes." Helen said that Sparta has no shortage of strong and excellent middle-aged men, and these are excellent sources of soldiers: "If you need it, I can bring some over."

  Helen said that these Spartan soldiers are strong and hardworking, and they are not demanding, and they are not as expensive as David's Winter Knights.

   "It is indeed a choice." David wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, training a second-line army seems to be nothing.

  With the development of Cold Winter Town, more and more areas need to be deployed, and it is indeed necessary to expand a large number of manpower.

  And these Spartans who were originally soldiers are also easier to train into elites than civilians.

  Besides, David could see that Helen had some selfish intentions.

  Train a group of soldiers. These soldiers are Spartans. They are naturally closer to Helen, the Spartan princess, and will become Helen's biggest supporter in Cold Winter Town.

  Besides, these Spartan soldiers can also contribute to Sparta after returning home, and pass on what they have learned from Cold Winter Town to the people in Sparta.

  If some mysterious power can be transmitted back to Sparta, it can also make Sparta a more powerful country!

   But these are trivial matters, and have no effect on David.

"It is indeed necessary to employ people. Since you have the intention, bring some Spartans over!" David ordered, because the equipment for learning the common language of Brennia currently made by Medivh only produced an additional I picked up a few, so Helen can be brought over slowly by several people.

  Let them learn the common language of Brennia first, and then bring newcomers over.

   "I know how to do it!" Helen thought for a while, and then asked how many people would be appropriate to bring?

   "Let's bring a hundred people here first!"

  One hundred Spartan soldiers can build the framework of the Spartan Legion first. If there is a need for expansion later, these one hundred people will be the foundation.

   "Sparta...Phase 1?"

   Such a word suddenly popped up in his mind. David, who was thinking about whether to train these Spartans into heavily armored soldiers, began to go wrong in his mind.

  From ancient soldiers wearing heavy infantry armor, to airborne soldiers wearing mobile armor.

   "It seems to be quite interesting."

   At that time, three hundred Hell paratroopers will be air-dropped directly to the enemy's hometown. The scene must be spectacular!

  Because Helen was distracting his train of thought, David stopped blowing on the roof, came to the office while chatting, and started today's work.

  According to David's prediction, in the next period of time, apart from waiting quietly, he was careful to guard against troubles in the surrounding villages.

  But the development of things will not always follow the expected routine.

  With the arrival of late autumn, David keenly discovered that the population growth rate of Cold Winter Town has increased a lot, and soon exceeded 1,000 people.

At first, he thought it was the surrounding villages and towns who started to attack. After asking Eva and Wetherby Swan, he found out that there seemed to be something wrong with Snowfield Fort. In the surrounding villages and towns, the farmers, soldiers, and craftsmen who belonged to the nobles of Iron Tree Fort , were all transferred away by Snowfield Fort.

  The rest are free farmers from all over the Kingdom of Tilan, which is equivalent to being abandoned by the villages they originally joined.

   Except for a few people who felt that they monopolized a large piece of farmland and decided to stay where they were because they took advantage of the big deal, the rest of the free farmers all ran to Cold Winter Town.

   That is to say, after working hard and wasting more than half a year, these farmers who were finally intercepted finally came to Lindong Town.

It's just that, compared to the farmers who first came to Cold Winter Town, these people have nothing, and they won't get the various preferential treatment that those people got earlier: free house allocation, enough food, and as long as they are cultivated, they can get Farmland ownership and more.

  These people who come to Cold Winter Town now need to borrow money from Cold Winter Town or the lord to ensure that they can survive this winter smoothly.

  At the same time, in order to earn enough living expenses, they can only choose to work for the original residents of Cold Winter Town.

  The arrival of these people also perfectly filled the original vacancy in Rinwinter Town, allowing those shops in Rinwinter Town to start operating.

   "So... on the entire northern plain, only our Winter Town and Snowfield Castle are left?"

  Arcee flew the entire northern plain again to confirm the situation of the surrounding villages and towns, and then reported to David.

   "There is also Frost and Cold Town."

   "..."

  David felt speechless for a while. He was careful and prepared, and even started to prepare for the first phase of Sparta to expand the number of troops.

   As a result, before he even started exerting his strength, all the surrounding forces were finished!

  Although there are still some people left in some villages, the situation is similar to that of David who was alone in the development camp, and it is not a village at all.

   "These guys... are even more vulnerable than I expected!"

   curled his lips, and David asked about the situation in Snowfield Fort.

   Actually mobilized all the forces on the northern plains. Is the situation in Snowfield Castle so bad?

   "It's not that the situation in Snowfield Castle is bad. Snowfield Castle has not been attacked by orcs yet."

   It was not Arcee who reported, but Vanessa Van Cleef, who set off with Arcee and got off the plane at Snowfield Castle.

   "All the villages to the east of Snowfield Castle have fallen, including the two small towns closest to Snowfield Castle that were built according to the scale of the town."

  The orc problem was considered when these two towns were built, so a lot of resources were invested from the very beginning, and a semi-military facility was built to serve as the outpost of Snowfield Fort.

   As a result, it was easily breached and occupied by the orcs, which made Snowfield Fort realize that the threat of the orcs was greater than expected, which is why it reacted so violently.

   "The forces behind those villages realized that if Snowfield Fortress was breached by orcs, these villages would not be able to resist it. Coupled with various reasons, they concentrated all their strength to defend Snowfield Fort first."

  Vanessa told all the news she heard, including that Snowfield Fortress is strengthening the city walls, hurry up to manufacture more weapons, and so on.

  The thousand soldiers who were originally auxiliary soldiers have also been armed, and Snowfield Castle has mobilized all available forces.

   "Are the orcs so powerful in combat?"

  David thought carefully about his encounter with the orcs. The human soldiers in this world didn’t seem to suffer too much in the battle with the orcs, right?

  Considering the number of reinforcements sent by Iron Tree Fort before, Snowfield Castle is still so tense, how many orcs are there?

   "This is the image I took."

  Arcie, who looks like a human being, is a Cybertronian after all. Her eyes shot out light, and then David and several people in charge of the military in Cold Winter Town saw the holographic image "shot" by Arcee.

   "There are at least 3,000 orcs here!" Floyd looked at the aerial images released by Arcee, and looked at the densely packed orcs on the 'ground', feeling his entire scalp numb.

"This is part of it. I also saw a few small orc troops scattered throughout the eastern plains of Snowfield Castle." Along with Arcee's explanation, the holographic images were constantly switching: "Some of them are going to Frost Town is advancing."

   "..."

  Gareth and Floyd were silent, Krausa also frowned at the number, but when they looked at the lord, they found that Baron Glamorgan was very calm.

   It seems that this lord doesn't care about the astonishing number of orcs.

  Actually, David was thinking at this time, should he help a little? After all, if Snowfield Fort really falls, his Winter Town will have to face these orcs directly.

   If you help, the main battlefield is in other people's territory, even if you are smashed into mud, you don't feel bad!
