Galloping south along the road, their horses galloped all night and all day long. When the sky was getting dark, David and Sharon stopped their horses.
David looked back habitually. Although he was sure that no one was catching up from Iron Tree Fort, he still couldn't control his neck.
Sharon saw David's actions and said casually: "You have looked back many times along the way. Are you worried?"
"It's not that I'm worried." David rubbed his neck. Frequent looking back and looking around made his neck feel a little sore: "It just feels like something is wrong."
According to common sense, shouldn't there be a lot of pursuers at this time? They must come from different families, with strong or weak strength, so that the protagonist has enough opportunities to show off.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, he didn't even see a bird feather, which made him very disappointed.
"After you received the note from Maloney, you galloped all the way. Those nobles sent people out after getting the news, so they probably won't catch up with us so quickly." Sharon looked at David, who was still sitting on the horse:
"If you are very worried, how about traveling all night?"
With the endurance and speed of these two war horses, if they traveled overnight, they could completely throw away the possible pursuers. However, she was not particularly sure. After all, her understanding of this world was not deep enough, and she did not know the mounts in this world.
Is he also very strong?
"Maybe there won't be any pursuers." David jumped off the horse, dug out an apple from his luggage, and fed the horse an apple while stroking its mane: "Some things that are stated on the surface must always be followed.
"
Just like the Forrester family wants to annex Winter Village, even if it is located in a remote area, they must find a reason that is justifiable on the surface.
After explaining these analyses, Sharon rolled her eyes: "So, there is no need for us to be in such a hurry?"
After Sharon understood what David meant, she thought of a similar question like Mark: "So, what will you build the village into? A more modern and civilized city?"
It is also the transportation hub for the northern area of the Kingdom of Tilan. It was once an important border town in the north of the Kingdom of Tilan until the Kingdom of Tilan pushed its territory into the Iron Tree Forest and established the Iron Tree Fort.
"How did you adjust?"
"Oh, this!" David lowered his head and continued to choose what he wanted to eat for dinner: "You didn't have a choice at first, but you'll know later."
Therefore, despite the fact that Winter Village's actual combat power is astonishing and it is not afraid of foreign invasion at all, there are many deep-seated problems, and for these problems, David can't find anyone who can discuss solutions with him.
When it comes to the development of Winter Village, if we talk in depth, some topics are almost unavoidable. If David wants to develop the village, not to mention building a huge country, even if it is just developed into a large enough city,
There will inevitably be conflicts with surrounding forces.
After leading the horses to the roadside, David and Sharon did not stop in the villages and towns because they were in a hurry, so they could only rest on the roadside for one night.
After taking a sip of vegetable stew and taking a bite of solid bread, David glanced at Sharon in front of him.
So far, the only way he can think of is to use the construction of Winter Village to allow these partners to identify more with the town, ensure that the city is established and developed as expected, and attract more people through a better living environment.
More locals move to Winter City to expand the city's scale, forming a virtuous cycle.
So the question is, will the captains of Justice unconditionally support David at this time?
In addition, despite the fact that there are already hundreds of villagers in Winter Village, and modern infrastructure construction work has even begun, the Winter Town, or Winter Fortress, he envisioned will soon be built.
Sharon thought David was joking and maybe he didn't want to answer her question, so she used this joking way to change the topic.
"I never thought before that there would be a lack of less righteous helpers around me."
As the daughter of Captain America, although Sharon has not shown any particularly great sentiments, she has been taught by her father since she was a child, so her outlook on life is still very normal.
Sharon is a super warrior who has received various trainings since she was a child. She has good combat power, but that does not mean that she is a madman obsessed with fighting and killing.
"But if we really create a Winter Empire, I should be the first one of these three to defeat it, right?"
She also thought about a deeper question: Can other people in this world, especially those rulers, tolerate the existence of such a special city?
"If the so-called modernization is just a reference to the era you live in, then you have underestimated me!" David dug out some dried meat and some chopped vegetables, threw them into a small pot, added some water and boiled them together, and then took them out again
A few pieces of bread were placed on the pot lid next to the fire to heat: "My goal is the stars and the sea!"
To a certain extent, Sharon's feelings were correct, and David did deliberately bring up the subject.
Even now, it is inconvenient for them to send someone to kill David too straightforwardly. Even if they want to 'send someone', they will hire people who have nothing to do with them on the surface, such as bandits, bandits, mercenaries and the like.
She no longer has any hope for the health of this world. In comparison, the environment in Winter Village is much better, especially since David, the village chief, has built public toilets and has improved the public and personal hygiene in the village.
After the environment makes mandatory requirements.
This may be the only direction of development that does not arouse the dissatisfaction of these 'heroes of justice'.
David and Sharon found some rocks and collected some firewood to build a campfire. After sitting down, they began to rummage through their luggage for food.
He didn't know whether Captain America, Captain Carter and Sharon, the second-generation Captain America, would become Captain Liberty. Just when David was about to rest against a tree trunk, he noticed someone approaching.
This is not for "commoners" like David, but for other families who are also nobles - we are very rule-abiding.
There are some things that I can talk to Fording, I can talk to Laura, and I can even talk to scientists like Mark and Leonard, but it’s just not convenient to discuss with superheroes like Steve, Peggy, and Sharon.
When Sharon fights the enemy, she can shout loudly: "For freedom!"
But now they are in a hurry and have no time to make these arrangements.
This kind of conflict does not necessarily involve others provoking David, but also includes David provoking others.
"Isn't the environment in the royal capital also very bad?"
"To be honest, I would rather stay in the wild and sleep in the wild." Although he only stayed in Iron Tree Fort for less than half a day, he left without even stopping for more.
It would be really interesting if it really turned into that situation!
Not only Sharon, but even several captains could line up, shout freedom and launch a charge to defeat all the feudal forces blocking the front of the Winter Empire.
"Let's just rest for one night. At this rate, we should be able to arrive at Wangbei Town tomorrow." Wangbei Town is the largest town on the way from Tieshubao to the Royal Capital of Tilan.
Join the development team, build Winter Village, let the village develop according to your own ideas, and the problem will naturally be solved.
"I haven't been there either." David waved his hands to express that he didn't know: "But don't hold out too much hope. Think about Paris and London back then."
"..."
To give a simple example, as the power of Winter City continues to expand, the villagers under David's rule want to cultivate more fields, but they have already cultivated them in front of other people's homes. What should you do as a lord?
From the standpoint of a lord, of course he supports the villagers under his rule. After all, it is not his subjects who are being bullied. He does not need to worry about other people's people. That is a headache for the lord opposite.
"Okay! Sounds like a lot less trouble."
But he has never ignored one thing: there is not even a real soldier in his territory now!
There was no one at first; now there is no shortage of people. Even the craftsmen and miners are still the top source of soldiers. But don't forget that they came to David just to avoid wars and disputes. If there is still a war, stay here.
Isn't Westfall bad? There is a real hatred between the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Stormwind.
"It is still necessary. If we really waste a few days in Iron Tree Fort, there may be many bandits, robbers, and mercenaries along the way, and they will all want to kill us." Now as David said
Run all the way and none of these enemies will appear.
But the poor sanitary environment of Iron Tree Fort still left an indelible impression on Sharon.
"This world."
He was thinking, if he develops Winter City well enough and Sharon sees how miserable the life of the common people at the bottom of the world is, will she choose to identify with him and finally firmly support him to eliminate other forces and fight for Winter?
war?
"Adapt to what?"
Glancing at David, although a lot of things were not stated clearly, smart people can discover a lot of things, not to mention that after David figured it out, he didn't do anything to cover it up.
In this case, the surrounding forces that have been poached can either take the initiative to launch an attack on Winter Town, then they can hold high the banner of justice to counterattack and eliminate the opponent; or they can naturally annex the opponent.
Sharon sighed. She deeply felt the huge gap between a modern person from a civilized era and this backward world.
"Someone is coming."
Sharon, who was also aware of it, touched her hand to the lance. Before she could hold her weapon, she saw an old man walking on the road next to him with a long luminous stick.
The long stick in the old man's hand was about the same height as a person, and the top end emitted a bright light, illuminating everything around him. It also allowed David and Sharon to see clearly the old man's appearance for the first time.
The old man also noticed the two people setting up a bonfire not far from the roadside, and walked straight towards them: "I accidentally went in the wrong direction and missed the village. Can I rest here with you for a night?"
