Chapter 380: Stop pretending and show off your cards
"The continent of Brunnia is about to change."
The orcs seem to be destined to occupy a place on the continent of Brennia. Perhaps when the army of Winter City moves south, they will no longer face the armies of other human kingdoms, but these green-skinned orcs.
After watching the live broadcast of the battle, David looked at the others.
Everyone present was the senior management of Winter City, including Chief Advisor Tony Stark, who was also sitting here. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Tony."
"Huh?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that the Piccolo assault rifle should have a second edition."
Judging from the live broadcast, the threat of the Piccolo assault rifle to the orcs has been reduced. He does not want the weapon he developed to become obsolete so quickly.
"Considering that I now have a lot of mature technologies, it shouldn't be a problem."
He has recruited more and more talents, and has stored enough advanced technologies. In the future, he will continue to turn these technologies into physical objects, which will be enough for the Winter Army to use them until the interstellar era.
Rather than weapons, he now wants to know how Tony's research on strengthening technology is going?
Because of the same goal, Cordell has recently joined Tony's research work, bringing all his life-long research experience and knowledge to bear.
He couldn't do otherwise, because after looking at the strengthening technologies from various powers in the universe in Tony's hands, he found that his research was not a result at all. At most, the research angle was quite special.
"There are already several different plans and preliminary comparisons are being made. If everything goes well... when winter comes here, I will start the preliminary preparations."
After the preliminary preparations comes the formal strengthening. As long as everything goes well, Tony will become an advanced intelligent life form with a powerful body and a longer lifespan next spring.
Then let’s see who will still look at me like a scumbag!
David heard that Tony's human enhancement project was going well and did not continue to ask.
According to his idea, the residents of Winter City will definitely receive the enhancement in the future, but it will definitely be used on the army first.
Self-strengthening, holy light, arcane magic, plus various advanced weapons and space battleships are the complete Winter Army in David's mind.
According to his original idea, he would quietly master all these ultimate moves in the northern plains, and then start sweeping the world.
Now it seems that this idea is difficult to implement.
He can continue to develop with peace of mind, but by the time he sweeps south, the entire continent has been reduced to ruins by the orcs using evil energy, so what's the point?
In the next period of time, the development speed of Winter City needs to be accelerated again. In addition to building new towns and various naval facilities on the eastern coast as soon as possible, there is also the need to push the power of Winter City southward.
Iron Tree Fort can no longer remain in the hands of Marquis Morgan!
In addition, we need to send someone to the Sodurumma Empire to inquire about the situation there.
"Issuing a notice to all the lords of the Kingdom of Tiland." After David made the decision, there was no need to delay some things: "His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Tiland officially passed the title of king to the Duke of Winter, and the Kingdom of Tiland will be renamed
Winter Kingdom."
David paused for two seconds and thought about the appropriate time before continuing: "After receiving the notice, all lords must arrive at Winter City before next autumn to pay allegiance to the new king. Anyone who fails to arrive at Winter City in time
Lord, will be regarded as rebellion."
Finally, he emphasized to Ceremonial Officer Elias that this notice must be sent to 'all' lords of the Tiran Kingdom, including those who were instigated by the Temple or the Soduruma Empire some time ago and chose to join the Holy Gaunt.
Kingdoms or those who have become independent small kingdoms.
Elias didn't ask what if these people ignored the notice? That's not his job.
What's more, from the Duke's tone, he already knew his next plan: the Duke obviously wanted to use force to seize all the territory.
Not only those lords who have rebelled, but also the lords who are still loyal to the Kingdom of Tilan, but may not necessarily care about the Duke of Winter, will also not get any good results.
Perhaps only those who come to Winter City in time to express their loyalty will have a good result.
So the question is, how many lords will be willing to be loyal to David Glamorgan, a remote border lord who has only risen to prominence a few years ago and relied on his 'shit luck' to get into the lap of Her Royal Highness the Princess?
Although there are many rumors about the Duke of Winter and the Knights of Winter circulating in the Kingdom of Tiland, most people don't believe it.
If the Knights of Winter are really so powerful, why doesn’t His Majesty the King send the Knights of Winter south to deal with the temple?
Nowadays, many parts of the Kingdom of Tilan are in chaos, and even civil wars between the lords of the Kingdom of Tilan have broken out frequently, without the Duke, who is in charge of all affairs of the kingdom, coming out to mediate.
So in the eyes of most people, those rumors are just rumors!
With no family background, no connections or family connections, and not even much prestige, David's reputation was entirely supported by a few announcements from the Tiran Kingdom and a few rumors.
In this case, the possibility of the lords choosing to be loyal to them is infinitely close to zero.
No one present objected to David's order. Tony, Laura and the others had long known that such a day would come. Although it was earlier than expected, it was nothing special.
Weatherby Swann, Elias, and Gareth have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
As David's most trusted and important subordinates, their status will become more prominent as David becomes king.
As for whether it would be embarrassing for the new King to have no one to pledge his allegiance?
No one here thought so!
They would only firmly believe that those lords who did not arrive in time would be in trouble - if they had come to pledge their allegiance earlier, the newly enthroned King David might still have a headache on how to reasonably take back the lands of these lords.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After getting along with each other for so long, everyone has figured out the character of the Duke. He is not the kind of ruler who would do evil things to his own people.
Therefore, those lords who did not come to Winter City actually helped a lot.
"In a year and a half, a military port was built on the eastern coast, connecting the east and west of the northern plains and opening up a passage to the south."
This is the focus of the next work. As long as it can be completed successfully, the next spring will be the time for Winter City to go south to regain the 'old soil'.
The time is set for the year after next because the Tilan Knights have only completed the preliminary reorganization work and have not even equipped themselves with equipment. This will have to wait until at least next year.
After the adaptive training is over, it will be almost winter or even already winter.
In addition, you have to consider various consumption and make various preparations in advance, which all takes time.
If you want to win a war, even if it's a crushing game, you can't just slap your forehead and say "Let's fight".
As for the key number of soldiers and the lack of management talents, David will not worry about it for the time being.
According to his original idea, he would occupy a place as soon as he conquered it.
Now that the situation has changed, he has given up on this development plan and focused on destroying the main enemy forces: chasing the orcs and the temple troops.
For the common people (the common people of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt), they mainly move, and the towns are abandoned directly.
Anyway, for David, the cities on the Brunnia continent have backward facilities and are not worth occupying at all. If they are occupied, it will take time and resources to renovate and rebuild.
In this case, just take away the useful population of Winter City and that's it.
In this way, Winter City will continue to operate at the current pace in terms of internal affairs, allowing Winter City to continue to expand its scope of control;
The military is a military force that hunts down enemies everywhere. With the technical strength of Winter City, the Winter Army does not have to worry about not being able to keep up with logistical supplies.
David doesn't know if his idea will work, but if his men have enough time to deduce and perfect the idea, maybe a talent will suddenly emerge and complete the originally unworkable battle plan?
When you are a subordinate, you must have the awareness to face this kind of situation!
If it doesn't work, there are Kryptonians, mutants, the former Supreme Mage, etc. coming to the rescue. With so many trump cards, even if there are problems with the plan, we should be able to successfully achieve the planned goals, right?
David can enjoy the addiction of being the boss, doing the least work and getting the most credit!
After giving the instructions, David went to check out the various equipment of the Tiran Knights, and finally went to the Cybertron Research Center.
"How is your aerial surveillance and combat platform doing?"
The main reason he came here was to find Megatron. He still remembered that Megatron decided to build an aerial device!
If everything goes well, this external component of Megatron will be of great help to the next thing.
"After precise calculations, it is now unrealistic to directly build a large space carrier."
With the introduction of Shockwave, David realized that it wasn't that they couldn't build such powerful external components, but that Megatron's current fire strength was not enough to support him 'using' such a powerful body.
There is no problem in forcibly building it. In that case, Megatron himself would have to stay on the battleship and hardly go anywhere. It would be equivalent to Megatron himself staying in the air, responsible for aerial surveillance and high-altitude fire support tasks.
"That's it!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter. There is nothing important going on in Winter City. I can stay on the aircraft carrier and practice the Holy Light with peace of mind, and strive to make the fire strong enough as soon as possible."
David thought about it and felt that what Megatron said made sense - as for changing to Transformers to do this job? Putting aside the fact that there are only a few who have mastered the Holy Light, are powerful enough, and can continue to make the Fire stronger.
The Cybertronians.
Megatron's loyalty to him was an important factor in David's courage to let Megatron float above his head in such a deadly weapon.
David is even more confident about Megatron than Optimus Prime.
"Then let's do it this way. How long will it take to build this aircraft carrier?"
