Chapter 91: Commander of the Light Pole in Another Sense
Galloping south along the main road, galloping all night and another day, David and Sharon stopped when they saw that it was getting dark.
David habitually looked back, and although he was certain that no one had caught up from Irontree, he still couldn't control his neck.
When Sharon saw David's movements, she complained casually: "You've turned back many times along the way, are you worried?" ”
"Not worrying." David rubbed his neck, and frequently turned his head and looked, making his neck a little sore: "I just feel that there is something missing." ”
According to common sense, shouldn't there be a lot of pursuers at this time? It has to be from various different families, strong and weak, so that the protagonist has enough opportunities to pretend.
As a result, he waited for a long time and didn't even see a bird feather, which made him very disappointed.
"After you received the note from that Maloney, you rode all the way, and those nobles got the news and sent people out, so they probably didn't catch up with us so quickly." Sharon looked at David, who was still sitting on his horse, "If you're worried, why don't you go overnight?" ”
With the endurance and speed of these two war horses, if they rush overnight, they can completely shake off the possible pursuers. However, she is not particularly sure, after all, she does not know the world well enough, and I wonder if the mounts in this world are also strong?
"Maybe there won't be pursuers." David jumped off his horse, pulled an apple out of his luggage, and fed the horse an apple while touching its mane: "There are some things that must be observed. ”
Just like the Forrester family wants to annex Winter Village, even if it is located in a remote area, they have to find a plausible reason.
This is not for 'commoners' like David, but for other families who are also nobles - we are very well-behaved.
Now, too, it's inconvenient for them to send someone to kill David too bluntly, even if they want to 'send someone', they are hiring guys who have nothing to do with them on the surface, such as bandits, bandits, mercenaries, and the like.
But now in a hurry, they don't have time to make these arrangements.
After repeating these analyses, what I got was Sharon's eyes: "So, we don't need to be in such a hurry?" ”
"It's still necessary, if we really waste a few days in Irontree Fort, then there may be a lot of bandits, bandits, and mercenaries along the way, and they will all want to kill us." Now, as David runs wild, none of these enemies will appear.
"Alright! Sounds like a lot less trouble. ”
Sharon is a super soldier who has received various trainings since she was a child, and has good combat effectiveness, but that doesn't mean she's a crazy person who is obsessed with fighting and killing.
As the daughter of Captain America, although Sharon has not shown any particularly great sentiments, she has been taught by such a father since she was a child, and her three views are still very normal.
Leading the war horse to the side of the road, David and Sharon did not stop in the village because they were in a hurry, and now they can only rest on the side of the road for one night.
"Let's make do with a night's rest, at this rate, we should be able to reach Wangbei Town tomorrow." Wangbei Town is the largest town on the way from Iron Tree Fort to the royal capital of Tiran.
At the same time, it was also the transportation hub of this area in the north of the Tiran Kingdom, and was once an important border town in the north of the Tiran Kingdom, until the Tiran Kingdom advanced its territory to the Iron Tree Forest and established the Iron Tree Fort.
"To be honest, I'd rather stay in the wilderness." Although he only stayed in Iron Tree Fort for less than half a day, he didn't even stop long and left directly.
But the poor sanitation of Irontree still left an indelible impression on Sharon.
She has lost all hope for the hygiene of this world. In comparison, the environment in the village is much better, especially after Dai Weiwei, the village chief, built public toilets and made public and personal hygiene mandatory in the village.
"The environment in the royal capital won't be very bad, right?"
"I haven't been there either." David waved his hand to show that he didn't know: "But don't get your hopes up too much, think about Paris and London." ”
Sharon sighed, she deeply felt that as a modern person from the age of civilization, and the huge chasm of this backward world.
glanced at David, although many words were not explicitly said, but smart people can find a lot of things, not to mention that after David figured it out, he didn't do anything to cover it up.
"How did you get used to it?"
David and Sharon found some rocks and firewood, lit a campfire, sat down and began rummaging through their luggage for food.
"Adapt to what?"
"This world."
"Oh, this!" David lowered his head and continued to choose the dinner he wanted to eat: "I didn't choose it at first, but then you will know." ”
Joining the pioneering team, establishing Winter Village, and letting the village develop according to its own ideas, the problem will naturally be solved.
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, civilized city? ”
She also thought about the deeper question, could the rest of the world, especially the rulers, allow such a special city to exist?
"If the so-called modernization is only a benchmark for the era in which you live, then you are underestimating me!" David turned out some dried meat, and some chopped vegetables, threw them into a small pot and boiled them with some water, and then took out a few pieces of bread and placed them on the lid of the pot next to the fire to heat: "My goal is the sea of stars!" ”
“……”
Sharon thought David was joking, and maybe he didn't want to answer his own question, so she used this joke to get the topic away.
In a way, Sharon's feelings were not wrong, and David did deliberately pull the topic away.
There are some things that can be talked about with Ferdin, with Laura, and even with scientists like Mark and Leonard, but it is not convenient to discuss with superheroes like Steve, Peggy, and Sharon.
When it comes to the development of Winter Village, if you talk about it in depth, then there are some topics that are almost unavoidable. If David wants to grow the village into a large country, not to mention building a large enough city, it will inevitably clash with the surrounding forces.
This kind of conflict is not necessarily someone else to provoke David, but also David's side to provoke others.
As a simple example, as Winterfell's power continues to expand, the villagers under David's rule want to reclaim more fields, but it has already been reclaimed to other people's doorsteps, what do you do as a leader?
Standing in the position of the lord, of course, he supports the villagers under his rule, after all, it is not his people who are bullied, he does not need to worry about other people's people, that is a headache for the lord on the other side.
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 even modern infrastructure construction work has begun, he expects that Winter Town, or Winter Fortress, will soon be built.
But he never overlooked one thing: there wasn't even a real soldier in his territory!
Initially there was no one; Now there is no shortage of people, even those craftsmen and miners, they are still the top soldiers, but don't forget, they came to David to avoid war and disputes, if they still want to fight, isn't it good to stay in the Western Wilderness? They have a real hatred for the Stormwind Kingdom.
Therefore, don't look at the actual combat power of Winter Village is very amazing, and he is not afraid of the invasion of foreign enemies at all, but there are many deep-seated problems, and on these problems, David can't find anyone who can discuss solutions with him.
So far, he can think of a way to make these partners feel more identified with the town through the construction of Winter Village, to ensure that the city is built and developed as expected, and to attract more locals to move to Winter City through a better living environment and expand the size of the city, forming a virtuous circle.
In this case, the poached surrounding forces either take the initiative to launch an attack on Winter Town, then he can hold high the banner of justice to fight back and destroy the other party; Or they will naturally annex each other.
This may be the only direction that does not cause displeasure among these 'heroes of justice'.
"I never thought that there would be a lack of less righteous helpers around me."
Snoring and taking a sip of mixed vegetable stew and nibbling on the hard bread, David glanced at Sharon in front of him.
He was wondering, if he developed Winterfell well enough, and Sharon saw how miserable the lives of the civilians at the bottom of this world were, would he choose to identify with him, and finally firmly support himself to destroy other forces and fight for Winter?
When Sharon fights the enemy, she can still shout loudly, "For freedom!" ”
It would be fun to be in that situation!
Not only Sharon, but even several captains could line up, shout freedom and launch a charge, defeating all the feudal forces blocking the front of the Winter Empire.
"But what kind of Winter Empire is really being concocted, these three should be the first to be defeated, right?"
Captain America, Captain Carter, and Sharon, the second-generation Captain America, will become Captain Liberty He didn't know, just when David wanted to rest against the trunk of a tree, he noticed someone approaching.
"Someone's coming."
Sharon, who was also aware, reached for the riding spear, and before she could grasp her weapon, she saw an old man with a glowing stick walking on the road next to her.
The long stick in the old man's hand was about as tall as a person, and the top emitted a bright light, illuminating everything around him, and it also made David and Sharon see the old man's appearance clearly for the first time.
The old man also noticed the two people who were raising a bonfire not far from the side of the road, and walked straight towards them: "I accidentally went in the wrong direction and missed the village, can I rest here with you for the night?" ”
