Chapter 232: Change people

  Chapter 232 Change people by person

  In fact, even if David didn't make a move, the orcs couldn't resist these soldiers under David.

  The equipment and combat methods of the Winter Knights are several generations ahead of these orcs. If the behind-the-scenes supporters behind the orcs do not take action, these orcs will not pose any threat to the Brennia continent.

  Unfortunately, David drove the Tomcat fighter plane to blow up a few times, and he didn't see the orcs use any special power, which also made him lose interest in continuing to throw bombs.

  Leaving Arcee cruising in the air to attack the regrouped orc group, David flew directly back to Snowfield Fort.

   Then, under the watchful eyes of Maddox and several snowfield castle knights, he jumped from the fighter plane into the air, and the black Tomcat fighter plane suddenly shrunk countless times and entered David's 'body'.

   Immediately, the Lord Baron Glamorgan landed firmly on the top of the city wall, standing in front of Maddox Hawke.

   "Lord Baron!"

Maddox's reaction is fast, and he has seen too many miraculous things before, whether it is the holy light of Lord David Glamorgan, or Arcee who can turn into a pink dragon, or can release a black dragon. Baron Glamorgan of the giant bird, these things have already shattered his worldview, which also made Maddox's ability to accept it much stronger.

   "Well! After today, the orcs will no longer threaten Snowfield Castle in a short time."

David turned around and looked into the distance. The inspector was holding up his triple-mounted six-barreled Vulcan cannon to kill and kill. With the giant grenades thrown from time to time, the orcs couldn't do anything to the Spartan heavy infantry. A threatening shock.

  Sylvanas on the flank led the elf rangers and spellbreakers to clean up the orcs who wanted to attack from the flanks. The fighting method of this small group of high elves was the most familiar method for people like Maddox.

   It's just that this small group of elves all possess mysterious power, which makes Maddox and others secretly lament the power of Cold Winter Town.

  As the battle continued, the Spartan heavy infantry finally fought the orcs at close range. Maddox and the others once again saw the "rich and powerful" of Cold Winter Town.

  The armor on these heavy infantry seems to be attached with magical protection. When the orc's weapon cuts on these infantry, apart from a flash of light, it cannot cause any damage to the soldiers at all.

  The Spartan heavy infantry was almost in absolute safety, constantly slaughtering enemies who could approach them.

   There was no hope of victory at all, the fighting spirit of the orcs gradually collapsed, and orcs began to run towards the periphery on the battlefield. After seeing this scene, David knew that the battle was over...

  The follow-up will take a lot of time. David is not going to waste time here. Next, he will start to take over Snowfield Fort and build Snowfield Fort into the current border fort of Cold Winter Town.

  The most important thing is these people in Snowfield Castle!

  He came here specifically to take over Snowfield Fort. What David wanted was not just a border fort, but he would not let go of these people in Snowfield Fort either.

   "My ceremonial officer has already brought a letter to Tilan King's Capital. In the letter, he will report the situation in the northern plain to His Majesty the King in detail."

   After coming to the office that originally belonged to the commander of Snowfield Fort, was later used by Maddox, and now belongs to David, David directly confronted the former acting commander of Snowfield Castle in front of him.

   "According to the current situation, if there is no accident, all the military affairs and people's livelihood of Snowfield Castle will belong to me. What's your opinion on this?"

   "..."

Maddox Hawke glanced at his confidant Lemoore. He had expected this situation. As a lord, David Glamorgan couldn't spit out the meat he put in his mouth. .

   There was only one thing that exceeded his expectations: According to the Winter Lord, not only the original residents of Snowfield Fort, but also the garrison and reinforcements stationed here by Iron Tree Fort seemed to be accepted by the other party!

  Have you been placed under Lord Winter's hands?

  My confidant Lemoore was already worried about his lord's future, so he wanted to find an opportunity to suggest to Lord Hawke that if it doesn't work, he should go to Lord Winter! It's better than staying in Iron Tree Castle and being counted by others.

   At this time, Lord Baron Glamorgan is actively soliciting, so you must seize this opportunity!

Maddox winked at Maddox Hawke, but Maddox Hawke had already retracted his gaze at this time, lowered his head and pondered for a while: "My lord, legally speaking, Snowfield Fort is included in your lord's territory. There is no problem. It is just the belonging of the army and the people, I am afraid it is not that simple."

   Maddox did not express any refusal, let alone protest, and has already expressed his attitude.

  David also heard that Maddox did not object to Baron David-Glamorgan receiving all the resources of Snowfield Castle. He just said, "There will be troubles beyond the law that must be resolved first!" '.

   "The original residents of Snowfield Fort are lucky to say that these people came to the northern plains to reclaim new land, and they were planning to settle here... Your Excellency takes over Snowfield Fort, and these people will naturally become your subjects."

  As for the artisan farmers who received from the surrounding areas, these people are basically contract farmers of the iron tree castle nobles.

   This is the reason why many villagers returned to Iron Tree Fort directly after Iron Water Village was destroyed by David.

  However, due to the current situation, these people can be regarded as the property 'saved' by Lord Glamorgan, which means that it is not completely unreasonable for Lord Glamorgan to directly detain these people.

  If the nobles of Iron Tree Fort come to ask for someone with a contract, David can also demand a "reasonable ransom" from these nobles, just like the Barnett family, the behind-the-scenes family of Iron Water Village, paid the corresponding ransom afterwards.

  If you don't pay, David can also refuse to release the person.

  The real trouble is the army. This part of David wants to be directly recruited. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible, but there is really little hope.

  These soldiers are soldiers of Iron Tree Fort Lord Dudley-Marquis Morgan. Many of them have wives, children, and parents in Iron Tree Fort. Family reasons alone make it difficult for them to directly join Cold Winter Town.

   "So do you have any suggestions?"

"Let the soldiers choose freely!" Maddox expressed his suggestion happily: "Those who are willing to stay will be integrated into the army of Rinwinter Town, and those who cannot part with their families are allowed to leave... However, adults can Also ask the lord of Iron Tree Fort for a reasonable fee."

  The cost of an elite soldier is much more expensive than that of a farmer. In addition, there are weapons and equipment that can also be counted as extra money, unless Lord David Glamorgan is not going to return these equipment.

  However, after witnessing the fighting power of the soldiers in Cold Winter Town and the novel weapons and equipment, Maddox didn't think the Baron of Glamorgan valued those ordinary equipment.

   "If this matter is handed over to you, how long will it take you?"

  Madox realized that this was an official invitation from the Baron of Glamorgan to him, and it was also a test: to test whether he really went to him, and to test his ability.

   "The specific situation depends on how much money the adults are going to ask for."

  If David wants a high price, it may take more time to bargain; if the price is right, the transaction can be completed in half a month.

   "I don't want money, I want people!"

David doesn't need gold and silver, he needs more people to enrich his territory, so his quotation to Dudley-Marquis Morgan is: No matter how many farmers and craftsmen I have here, no matter how many people you want to bring back, you must Send me an equal number of young adults.

  As for the soldiers, one soldier would have to exchange five young adults or ten children. As a discount, the weapons and equipment would be given a discount to Dudley Marquis Morgan, half sold and half given away!

  If there are families who don't want to pay and don't want to hand over the contract to David, David believes that Dudley Marquis Morgan will make those people willing to complete the deal.

  As the ruler of Fort Iron Tree, Marquis Dudley Morgan will certainly not refuse the deal, because he cannot afford such a large military loss. Even the lord of Iron Tree Castle has to pay a 'ransom', you Iron Tree Castle nobles still want to renege on their debts?

   As for these populations, will the rapid development of Rinwinter Town? At this time, Iron Tree Fort should not care about these things, and the rise of Cold Winter Town cannot be suppressed at all, they should also be aware of this.

  After explaining these things, David asked the former Snowfield Fort commander to deal with the matter.

  After Maddox and Lemoore left the office, David ordered to the dark corner: "Keep an eye on him and observe his performance, but don't interfere with his actions."

"clear!"

  Vanessa's figure flickered in the corner. This gradually growing excellent assassin left the office when Gareth came in to report.

   Vanessa Van Cleef was in Snowfield Castle, only David and Edwin knew about it. Originally, Vanessa’s mission was to observe in Snowfield Castle and collect various information at the same time.

   But now she has received a more important task: to assess whether Maddox Hawke really wants to defect to Baron David Glamorgan.

  This observation report will determine how Maddox will be treated in Cold Winter Town in the future.

   After explaining this matter, David is no longer going to stay in Snowfield Fort.

  The garrison, reconstruction, and other work here need to go back to Cold Winter Town to make arrangements. After the orc troops are completely defeated, the northern plains should be calm for a while.

   In addition, he also wanted to see how Tony's test robot was made?

   Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to Cold Winter Town, a newcomer ushered in: a guy wearing a wide brown cloak that covered his whole body, and he couldn't even see his face clearly.
