Floyd didn’t know what Sean Forrester thought of himself at this time, he was enjoying this battle.
The Vulcan cannon on the shoulder has been firing continuously for a while, although a large number of orcs have been cleared and there is still enough ammunition.
But after falling into a close-range melee, Floyd and two other soldiers fired another round of grenades to clear the surroundings, and then habitually took out their swords and shields.
Long swords and shields are also specialties of Winter Town. Long swords mixed with crystal ore powder can easily penetrate the armor of orcs in battle and kill them.
It's a pity that they didn't have many opportunities to show off their superb swordsmanship, because when he took out his sword and shield, there were not many orcs left around, and the few remaining orcs began to flee in all directions.
The Quinjets and Arcee in the sky only pursued the orcs who fled towards Winter Town and the Winter Forest. The orcs who fled in other directions were not pursued in a targeted manner.
"My lord's order, there is no need to hunt down the escaped orcs, just make sure that no orcs escape into Winter Town."
Arcee's voice came to his ears, and Floyd immediately expressed his understanding. After confirming that there were no orcs standing around, he ordered four soldiers to clean the battlefield to ensure that there were no orcs still alive, and he moved towards the Sheen-
Forrester walked over...
David looked at the holographic image on the table in front of him and completely watched the first battle with the orcs in Winter Town.
Also present were Eva, Laura, Helen, Gareth Stanton, Weatherby Swann, Will Turner, Elias Parker, Leonard, Sheldon, Tony, etc.
A group of people.
David maintained communication with the front line throughout the whole process, and asked Floyd to take Mayor Sean Forrester and take the Quinjet provided by Tony (the one in Avengers 2).
After seeing himself, Tony asked Tony to turn off the holographic image in front of him.
"What do you think?"
After giving the order, David looked at everyone present. Everyone seemed to be still immersed in the previous war scene.
Among them, Gareth Stanton, the personal guard knight, pays more attention to this new equipment called power armor. He feels that if all members of the Winter Knights can be equipped with this weapon, Winter Town will soon be
You can become the only force on the northern plains.
And being able to command such a powerful force, can I go one step further? Obtain a title and join the true aristocracy?
Weatherby Swann lamented that there were too many powerful things in Winter Town. If it were Port Royal facing the invasion of this group of tall and strong orcs, it would be difficult to withstand it.
Now, he can stay comfortably in the spacious and bright conference room, watching those powerful soldiers, with their advanced weapons and equipment, killing those strong orcs at will.
There is no need to worry that the orcs will have a chance to make a comeback and threaten the town where they live.
"Sir, I don't think we need to worry about these orcs at all."
As long as Tony Stark builds more power armor, even if he does not continue to improve and upgrade it, Winter Town can kill all the orcs on the northern plains with the current version.
"I've never worried about these orcs."
The focus of David's concern is not the orcs, but what can he gain from the orcs?
"Now the battle between Snowfield Castle and a large number of orcs is about to break out. Frostbite Town has given up resistance and asked us for help, so... do you have any suggestions?"
Everyone looked at each other, but Laura and Helen did not say anything. They had nothing to say about these matters and could just watch the excitement.
Sheldon and Leonard were discussing the performance of the power armor in low voices, as if they wanted to discuss where else this power armor could be upgraded and optimized.
Tony was not prepared to participate in the future development strategy of Winter Town, so he also walked next to Leonard and others and listened to their discussion.
The one who really cares about these things is Gareth Stanton.
Elias Parker, Weatherby Swann, Will Turner, these are the people who are firmly bound to Wintertown.
"Sir, the threat of orcs is against the entire Kingdom of Tilan. As the border guardian of the Kingdom of Tilan, your Lord has the responsibility to take over the war situation when necessary." Elias Parker pondered for a while and put forward his own opinion:
"Especially when only the troops in Winter Town are left in the northern plains."
Everyone turned to look at the etiquette officer who usually didn't say much and had no sense of presence most of the time.
Even Leonard and Sheldon stopped discussing how to optimize and upgrade the mobile armor. After looking at Elias, their eyes collectively turned to David.
David understood what Elias meant. It was just that after the fall of Snowfield Castle and the last army belonging to Iron Tree Castle in the entire northern plain was wiped out, Winter Town would become the last army belonging to Tilan in the northern plain.
The power of the kingdom.
As long as David leads the troops to clear out the "invading" orcs, the entire northern plains will be under the rule of Baron Glamorgan, both de facto and de jure.
Tieshubao will no longer have any qualifications and power to reach out to the northern plains, and can only stay in its original territory, without the possibility of further expansion.
However, this plan is equivalent to treating Snowfield Castle as an abandoned son, a victim of a pure struggle for interests.
"The people of Snowfield Castle are innocent."
David didn't think for too long and directly expressed his thoughts.
He is not acting for the people around him.
If the soldiers of Iron Tree Fort were to fight the orcs, they would not feel anything wrong if they were sacrificed. Fighting and sacrifice are the duties of these soldiers.
However, in addition to soldiers, there are many ordinary people in Snowfield Castle. Do you want ordinary people to die with you?
David feels that he is not cold-blooded to this extent. No matter in his past life or in this life, he is not a good or even qualified politician, and he cannot treat people as they are.
Even though he never thought he was a good person, he didn't intend to be a villain who regarded human life as nothing.
Just like just now, he could just sit back and watch the orcs kill everyone in Frostbite Town, and then let Arcee and Floyd take action to take Frostbite Town into their hands.
But he still let Arcee open fire directly, saving everyone in Frostbite Town, even if there was Sheen Forrester in the crowd who couldn't deal with him.
Just after David said those words, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have changed slightly. David could detect that several people were secretly "breathing a sigh of relief."
"..."
David, who realized that he had successfully "passed a test", knew that if he had accepted Elias Parker's suggestion just now, perhaps several people in this conference room would never see him again. p>
As for now, David could feel that several people were looking at him more closely. Not only Laura and Tony, but even Weatherby Swann and Will looked like they were following the wrong person.
.
It’s not surprising when you think about it. After all, no one wants their “friend” or “leader” to be a cold-blooded guy! There are some things that even if you know intellectually that they are correct, you will feel uncomfortable emotionally.
Elias did not have any dissatisfaction because his suggestions were rejected. He only made suggestions, and the real decision-maker was Lord Glamorgan, which he knew very well.
"Then, your Excellency, you can spread the news that Winter Town received the call for help from Frostbite Town, send troops to repel the orcs, and keep an eye on Snowfield Castle appropriately, and take action when necessary."
The purpose of spreading the news first is to let the people in Snowfield Castle know that Winter Town has the ability to defeat the orcs.
Whether they believe it or not, when Snowfield Castle is in crisis, this will become their last hope.
As long as there is hope, people who fall into despair will try their best to seize it. Once the people of Snowfield Castle cannot resist it, they will definitely ask for help from Winter Town.
At that time, David can lead the Winter Town troops to the stage and take over Snowfield Castle directly and legally!
"After the orcs are defeated, you can directly report to His Majesty the King what happened here in the northern plains, and apply for the upgrade of Winter Town to Winter City."
If occupying Frostbite Town and Snowfield Castle is just two more forward posts for David, the temptation for him to upgrade Winter Town to Winter City is much greater.
Let’s not talk about the promotion of the title and the expansion of the territory. Once the administrative establishment of Winter City is obtained, can one’s golden fingers be upgraded again?
Although I don’t know what will happen if I upgrade again, why not upgrade if I have the chance? It’s not like the junk software I used in my previous life, which gets worse the more I upgrade.
"Just do it!"
The impromptu meeting ended and everyone dispersed to continue busy with their own affairs.
Before Tony left, he stopped in front of David and joked: "It seems that I will soon have to call you Earl or even Marquis."
"I'd like to lend you some good words!"
"By the way, when you said before that Winter Town will continue to grow and develop, it will be possible for me to gain the ability to travel freely. Are you referring to the improvement of the territory level?"
Tony reacted quickly, and he just noticed the change in David's expression when he heard about Winter City, so he immediately thought of this.
"That's right."
After receiving a positive reply from the other party, Tony looked around and made sure that they were all "his own" before asking in a "low voice": "When are you going to establish the Winter Kingdom?"
"..."
David looked at Tony speechlessly, what are you talking about? Can you say this now? Even if he really has this plan, he still has to wait for various resources, especially when the population is almost full!
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, I have never thought of it that way!"
