Age of Empires From Scratch

Chapter 350: got you

  Chapter 350 Understand You

   If possible, Maloney also wants to buy some weapons like grenades. If they can be bought, relying on the fortress Iron Tree Fort, they will no longer have to fear the attacks of elves.

He felt that the possibility of this matter being negotiated was not low, because David Glamorgan, the Duke of Winter, could not sit back and watch Iron Tree Castle be captured by the elves. blow.

  There are a lot of lords in the Kingdom of Tilan, but they are all watching.

  It never occurred to Maloney that David, the Duke of Glamorgan, didn't care about these things at all, and he didn't care what the lords in Tilan's country thought of him.

   Even the fact that Iron Tree Fort was captured by the elves was a good thing for him, so that he could 'reasonably' send troops south to expel the elves and take advantage of the trend to occupy the entire territory of Iron Tree Fort.

   To put it bluntly, he wished that the entire Tilan Kingdom would be in chaos. It would be best if all other places except the northern plains would be fought, and he would clearly express that he was against the Tilan Kingdom. This would clear the way for him to go south in the future.

   As it is now, only a small number of lords have rebelled from the Kingdom of Tilan, and most of them still use the banner of the Kingdom of Tilan, but it is not very easy to start.

   That is, he is still operating the northern plains, otherwise he would have to think of a reason to go south and take the land into his own hands.

   At that time, it may cause dissatisfaction from all sides, toss and toss, and finally use force. It is better to wait for the lords to rebel against the Kingdom of Tilan from the beginning, and clean it up by yourself.

   Watching Maloney leave, David got up and walked out from behind the large desk.

  Walking out of the office, Eva seemed to have chatted that David would come out, and was waiting here: "The Earl of Sutton Stewart and Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia are on the rooftop."

"oh."

   "Should they be called down?"

  David waved his hand. It was very boring to sit there all the time. He decided to go to the rooftop to find Earl Stewart, just to relax: "I'll go find them!"

  Anyway, Earl Sutton-Stewart can be regarded as "one of his own people", so there is no need to be too entangled in etiquette laws and so on.

  Elias next to him thought the same way, so he didn't express his objection, and followed the Duke quietly, pretending that he didn't exist.

  Going up to the top floor, and then walking to the open-air terrace, David saw Sutton Stewart standing on the edge looking around at a glance, and Sophia who was introducing something to his uncle next to him.

   Not far behind the two, Belfast, who was still wearing a maid outfit, stood there. When he saw David's arrival, he immediately greeted him, and at the same time reminded the other two that the Duke has arrived.

   "Master Duke!"

After turning around, Sutton Stewart saluted and greeted David immediately, with some emotion on his face. He never thought that the young man who was regarded as prey by himself at the beginning was now standing at the top of the Kingdom of Tilan .

  Although he has not yet become a king, but judging from the current development situation, it is only a matter of time before the Duchy of Winter becomes the Kingdom of Winter.

  Sarton didn't feel any dissatisfaction. The interior of the Kingdom of Tilan was infiltrated into a sieve, and it was inevitable that something would happen.

   It's just that at that time he didn't think that those guys in the temple would do it so ruthlessly.

   Until then, he didn't realize how naive his original calculation was.

  Thinking of the things that the temple has done, he is very lucky to be able to live in style, not to mention that David, the Duke of Glamorgan, did not treat him badly.

   "What's the reason why you came here suddenly today?"

  Hearing David's tone and words, Sutton Stewart's face became a lot easier.

  Only from this question, Sutton can draw the conclusion: David - Duke of Glamorgan is quite kind to him, at least he didn't use formulaic sentences to deal with him.

   "I'm here to apply for a job."

   "Huh?" David guessed several possibilities, but he really didn't expect that Sutton came to him to find a job: "Job hunting?"

"Yes."

   After a brief explanation, David realized that compared with the nobles who came to Cold Winter City for the first time, Sutton came half a beat later, and most of the property of the Stewart family was confiscated by the Duke.

  The aristocrats who came to Cold Winter City after the resurrection can personally identify which are their own property, and spend some money to ask the Cybertronians to help dig it out.

  Although they lost their houses and were far away from their "fiefdoms", the savings of the nobles are still there, and these family assets are enough for them not to worry about their current lives.

  Some of the nobles who were in White Rock City and did not die had family members staying in the royal capital of Tilan, so their family property was also preserved.

  The nobles who failed to be resurrected, their property became the 'trophy' of the Duke David, and after being dug out, it went directly into the Duke's private small treasury.

   Among them, there is Sutton Stewart's property.

Although Queen Sophia and Rosie pointed out that part of the assets belonged to Sutton, there were also some assets that Sutton developed and stored separately. David's **** pack.

  When Sutton came to Cold Winter City, he found that his assets had shrunk significantly. After training and spending money to build a luxurious and comfortable manor, he urgently needed a stable income to ensure his future good life.

  In fact, even if the property shrinks severely, the savings in the hands of Earl Sutton Stewart can ensure that he can spend the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing.

  However, if you can't enjoy a luxurious life, for Earl Sutton Stewart, it is no different from death.

   In order to ensure that he can continue to live a happy life as before, he desperately needs a stable income.

   "If you want to make money, there should be many ways, right?"

  Winter City does not restrict business, and even David encourages his citizens to engage in commercial activities to a certain extent, so that he can collect taxes from it!

   "It's not a conflict."

  Emotions Apart from wanting to do some business, Sutton also plans to receive a salary from David, and he feels that he is absolutely capable of earning this salary.

  David looked at Sutton Stewart, and he didn't know how to evaluate the Earl: Earl Stuart gave him the impression that he was a **** brother who lived on his noble status.

   After contacting for a while, he found that this person's ability is not bad, and the **** is just his daily life.

  Guarding White Rock City to defend against the army attacking the temple, it can be seen that Earl Stewart's military ability is not bad, and he can even be called powerful. He is definitely a top-ranked commander in the Kingdom of Tilan.

   It's a bit of a waste for such a talent to just spend every day drinking and drinking.

As for the connection between Earl Stewart and the Temple, he knew at the beginning that Earl Stewart did not trust the Temple, and he even had some precautions. From the fact that he was not directly made into a bomb, it can be known that he is more powerful than most Orchid nobles are much smarter.

  Other people involved with the temple have completely disappeared from this world, and even David cannot be saved.

   It’s just that he underestimated the determination and ruthlessness of the temple. He didn’t expect that the temple would blow up all the Tilan dignitaries and pawns that had been painstakingly attracted, divided, and absorbed.

   This cannot be blamed on him. Normal people would never have imagined that such a thing would happen. It was after this incident that David labeled the temple as 'abnormal'.

   "What position do you want?"

   "Let it be arranged by the Duke."

   "Is that so..."

  David thought for a while, and found that there is really a position suitable for Sutton Stewart, because that position is quite special, and other people really can't sit still.

   "How about the Commander of the Knights of Tiran?"

   "The Knights of Tiran? You want me to lead the Knights of Tiran? Shall I be the head of the Knights?" Sutton Stewart thought that David would arrange a similar position for himself, doing some work like a consultant.

   Didn't expect the young Duke of Glamorgan to hand over the Knights of Tiran to himself? Is it so grand?

"No, the commander is someone else." David was talking about the commander, not the commander. There is still a difference, and he didn't pretend to be mysterious, and directly pointed at the side standing next to him. Sophia: "I am going to make Sophia the leader of the Tiran Knights."

   "Oh~" Sutton immediately understood David's thoughts.

  The Knights of Tilan are the trump card troops of the Kingdom of Tilan after all. After reorganization, the Knights of Tilan also absorbed some members of the Knights of the Guards. This team has a high degree of recognition and loyalty to the royal family of Tilan.

  Even if there is a miracle of resurrection in front, the Knights of Tiran are more in awe of the Duke of Glamorgan than loyalty.

Under such circumstances, the knowledge of who will be the leader of the Knights of Tiran gave him a very headache: the leader selected from within the Knights, David could not trust; conflict.

After much deliberation, it is the best way for Princess Sophia to be directly named as the head of the Knights of Tilan. The one who is actually in charge of commanding is usually Earl Sutton Stewart. would resist it.

   "Sounds like a good position." Earl Sutton Stewart was very happy that his income for the rest of his life should be guaranteed, but he did not forget the "more important purpose" of his coming here today.

   After winking with David, the two walked a few steps away along the edge of the roof, and distanced themselves from the other people on the roof.

   "Since Sophia is going to be the head of the Tiran Knights, shouldn't some things be finalized as soon as possible?"

  Seeing a somewhat distressed look on David's face, Sutton, who has always cited David, the Duke of Glamorgan, as his lifelong confidant, naturally knew what the Duke was struggling with, and immediately gave him a reassurance:

   "I'm not urging you, and no one can urge you to do things you don't want to do now... I'm just reminding you, in Winter City, whether to marry or not? How many to marry? It's all up to you!"
