"Reinforcements?"

Fort Snow asks for reinforcements? Who are the reinforcements coming into? Winter Town?

Looking at Vanessa in front of him, David waited for the follow-up report.

What if Vanessa only heard that Irontree had sent reinforcements, but didn't find out why Snowland had asked for reinforcements? Who is this reinforcement going against? That proves that Vanessa is not a qualified intelligence officer, and that she has little talent in this area.

In that case, Vanessa's future work may shift to "assassination" and the like!

As it turns out, Vanessa Van Cleef is no rookie without intelligence sensitivity, and she began investigating the support force when she learned that an army was rushing from Irontree to Snowborn.

"According to the information I have heard, the eastern part of the Northern Plains is not very peaceful at present, and it is said that many newly established villages and towns have been attacked or even completely destroyed, which has threatened the safety of Snow Castle."

"Eastern?" David immediately thought of the orcs who had established their village in the easternmost part of the Northern Plains: "Did the orcs do it to humans? Snowborne Castle is asking for reinforcements to destroy the orcs?"

Vanessa didn't answer, this was the experience she learned from her father: the main job of front-line intelligence officers is to report all kinds of information they hear, organize and analyze and how to deal with it, these are not their jobs.

Don't just express your opinion unless your superiors ask about it.

Vanessa has great respect for her father, and she always remembers his teachings. So after reporting all the intelligence information she had heard, Vanessa didn't make any suggestions, just stood there and waited for the lord's inquiry.

David sat in his chair and thought for a moment, then asked some more questions, and after making sure that Vanessa had heard all the information, he let Vanessa leave.

Sitting sideways behind his desk, David looked out the window.

Winter Town is no longer as dark and light as it used to be, and as the construction of Winter Town comes to an end, the power plant (currently generated by crystal mines) and the waterworks are put into operation, and more and more lights appear at night in Winter Town.

In addition to street lamps as public facilities, more and more residents of Winter Town are beginning to enjoy the convenience brought by electric lights.

After a moment of stupefiing and sorting out his thoughts, David walked out of the office and said to Elias, who was guarding the door, "Good night!"

"Good night, my lord."

Back in his bedroom, David fell asleep with a fragrant human pillow......

The next day, David told Vanessa about the information he had found and several important people in Winter Town.

These include Weatherby Swan, Governor, Elias Parker, Ceremonial Officer, Eva McKenna, Clerk, and Edwin Van Cleeff, head of the Artisan community and who doubles as an intelligence officer.

As well as the current military chiefs of Wintertown: two Guards Knights, Gareth Stanton and Floyd, and gun instructor Jack Kraussa.

In addition to this, Reynaud Mograini, Sally Whitemane, Liadline, and others were also present as consultants.

These people will come, because they are all involved in the training of the Winter Knights, and they will naturally pay more attention to the Winter Knights, a military group that they have helped train.

Mark, Laura, Peggy, Sharon, Will, Elizabeth, and the others also arrived, all of whom were concerned about the situation in Wintertown.

As for Helen, she commanded her two maids to serve tea and water to the people in the room—she quickly learned how to use the facilities, but she also taught her own maids.

After more than a day of observation, Helen found the opportunity to fit perfectly into Fort Glamorgan: as the ruler of the place, Davy was severely lacking in servants, and the huge Fort Glamorgan, which was inhabited by only a few people, and there was no servant.

How does this work?

She guessed that David had just not had time to "buy" the servants, and that maybe there would be enough servants to move in after a while.

But since I'm here, it's good to leave this question to her!

While Helen was wondering how many servants she would have to buy back to Sparta, David had already finished telling Vanessa what she had heard and began to discuss with everyone what they were going to do next.

"The matter of robber attacks is easy to handle, as long as it is normal to prevent it." Weatherby-Swan felt that with the terrain of the northern plains, there was no possibility of sneak attacks and ambushes, and it was easy to detect a large number of displaced people moving together.

Van Cleef made a point: "Beware of these outcasts scattering into Wintertown, destroying and attacking from within."

Both Peggy and Sharon think this may be a big deal, especially since rumors of a "terrifying pink wyvern" are spreading in the Northern Plains, and people with brain problems will storm Winter Town head-on.

"Edwin is right, we're not afraid of a frontal attack, but we can't help but be wary of the other side using this method." David looked at Van Cleef and wondered how many of the craftsmen in his hands had been trained as assassins or thieves, "How many people do you have that can be used?"

"It's not much......

The Stonemasons' Guild was only craftsmen, and even if it later became the Defia Brotherhood, the craftsmen also learned some combat skills, but the talent of these people was not high, and the number was limited, so most of them could only be regarded as learning a little.

What's more, the people who came to Winter Town with him weren't all members of the Masons' Guild in the first place.

"Barely able to make up more than twenty people." These twenty or so have mastered the ability to stealth, and the rest are really not much different from ordinary craftsmen, only learning some fighting skills and using weapons.

"Next, these twenty or so people are going to become the outposts of Wintertown...... Davy has already begun to consider forming a formal intelligence department, and is ready to discuss this topic with Van Cleef alone later: "The Knights of Winter will become a sentry on the surface, which will play a certain deterrent role."

The light and dark sentry posts serve different purposes, and the soldiers of the Winter Knights use them to deter those who sneak in, so that they do not dare to cause trouble directly.

The secret sentry is to find out those with bad intentions.

As for the real displaced people, these real displaced people who cannot survive in the northern plains are easier to solve.

When these people come to Winter Town, they find that they can find jobs, shelter, and even all-you-can-eat food every day, so they will naturally change from homeless people to ordinary civilians.

Therefore, the displaced people who infiltrated Winter Town in batches were not a threat at all, and only those people with a heart controlled by the nobles of Iron Tree Castle would not care about the good life here in Winter Town and carry out sabotage operations.

The discussion continued for a while, and after feeling that the topic of outcasts and robbers was almost over, they began to discuss the main event of the day: the situation in the eastern part of the northern plain; Is Snowfield Fort ready for military operations? What is the real purpose of the reinforcements sent by Irontree? Will it pose a threat to Wintertown?

"Whether it's a threat to us or not, first of all, we have to figure out the exact strength of this support army." Gareth Stanton, as the current commander of the Winter Knights, is most concerned about the actual combat power of the enemy, or potential enemy.

"I'll let Arcie ...... later" David suddenly remembered that Arcie was called by Leon to help: "Forget it, I'll go there myself after the meeting is over, and see how this support army is doing."

All of you here, look at me, and I look at you.

Laura and the others didn't think anything about it, but Floyd and Gareth Stanton felt that the lord's decision was a bit like scolding.

Freud immediately stood up and said, "How can you bother the lord to do such a thing?"

His right hand hammered down his chest, and solemnly stated that he would soon return with the details of the support army and present it to the lord.

"I'll leave it to you." David had wanted to say that he could "transform" into a fighter like Alsie, fly over the reinforcements in a short period of time, and then fly back.

You can also stop by the east to see what is happening to the orcs in the eastern part of the Northern Plains?

The whole process is dangerous, and it doesn't take much time.

But he could also understand Freud's thoughts

: If everything has to be solved by the lord himself, won't it seem that as a subordinate, they are all a bunch of waste?

Whether it is based on a sense of honor or wants to prove their abilities to the lord in order to have a bright future, Freud and the soldiers of the Winter Knights must bring back the information perfectly.

Not only do you have to find out the information about the support army, but you also have to go to the east to find out that this support army is targeting the orcs in the east? Or Wintertown?

In order to ensure that the mission can be completed smoothly, Freud is ready to ask Jack Kraussa for help, as Kraussa is currently the only person in the Winter Knights who can skillfully fly a Black Hawk helicopter.

Just as everyone had discussed the matter and began to disperse to deal with their own part of the task, Steve suddenly came over.

"Something?" David was about to discuss the formation of the intelligence department with Van Cleef, but Steve, who had just come over, said hello to Peggy and went straight to him, obviously looking for him.

"You asked Tony Stark if he could build an Ark reactor in Winter......

"Oh oh oh!" David slapped his forehead, and in the past two days, first Gwen, then Helen, and then Vanessa brought back the information, and he forgot about it: "What did that Iron Man say?"

"Tony said the price or anything was a small matter." As if thinking of something, Steve had a playful expression, "He wants to come here and see it for himself before deciding whether to take on this project."

It sounded very much in line with the iron man's style, but it wasn't too much of an over-the-top request, and David happily agreed, "No problem, when is he going to come over?"

"Now!"
