Maroni Mansfield, the Inspector of Irontree Castle, was the first of the world's elites that David knew.

However, when he wanted to upgrade Winter Village to Winter Town, after Maloney avoided it, David thought that the two would never cross paths again, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon.

Compared to the last time she came to Winter Town, Maloney's feeling of coming to Winter Town this time is like a heaven and the center of the earth compared to the last time.

Especially when he saw the magnificent, beautiful, clean town in front of him, he had the same suspicion as Raines: Am I on the wrong path?

If it weren't for the repeated statements of the Winter soldiers leading the way in front of him that they had not taken the wrong path, Maloney really couldn't believe that the beautiful town in front of her was the small village with only a few broken wooden houses.

"His Majesty is really willing to give up his blood!"

It took only one year to build a village with only a few wooden houses to this shape, and the only plausible explanation that Maloney could think of was that His Majesty Ebertson, King of the Kingdom of Tiran, gave Wintertown and Baron Glamorgan great support.

He seriously suspected that there were a large number of Tyran Kingdom Guard Knights stationed in Winter Town at this time, and if any blind guy dared to attack Winter Town, these guard knights would let those guys have no return!

"Could it be that the so-called pink wyvern was also sent by His Majesty the King?"

Thinking of this, Maloney thought of the request he had received, and he suddenly felt that the Barnett family was very prescient, and it would not do any good to be at odds with Wintertown and its lord, Baron Glamorgan.

It's better to make friends, it's more in line with the interests of the family! Especially at this moment when everyone perceives that the northern plains are not peaceful.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Lord Inspector Maloney-Mansfield." Led by the soldiers, Maloney came to Fort Glamorgan.

Later, after being inspected by the knight of the guard named Freud, he was led into Fort Glamorgan, and into the office of the Baron de Glamorgan.

The last time I saw him, David was just a young village chief, and at this time he was already a big man he couldn't look at directly.

"You're so gracious, honorable Lord Baron Glamorgan. On behalf of the Mansfield family and the Barnett family, I extend my sincere greetings to you."

Maloney perfectly displayed the etiquette expected of nobles, and his performance made Elias, who was standing next to him, look satisfied.

Knowing that this was a ceremonial official from the royal capital, Maloney was secretly relieved to see that the other party did not embarrass herself, and then looked at Baron David Glamorgan in front of her.

"The Barnett family?" At this time, David was still surprised by Maloney's greeting, which was not strange on behalf of the Mansfield family. What is the situation with the Barnett family?

"Yes." Maloney immediately explained to David that he was actually asked by the Barnett family to come to Winter Town from Irontree Castle: "The Barnett family said that all the actions of Molten Iron Village were the personal actions of the village chief Amamantis, and they were definitely not instructed by the Barnett family to offend Winter Town and Lord Baron."

"Oh!"

It turned out that Maloney Mansfield was here to make peace for the Barnett family, but the Barnett family didn't just find a random person, hoping that they could resolve their grudges with Baron Glamorgan with two friendships.

In addition to dumping all the pots on Amamantis, the Barnett family was also very polite, and troubled Maloney Mansfield to send the "ransom" and "compensation" that David deserved.

"Ransom?"

"Yes!" Maloney said, "To thank Lord Baron Glamorgan for his kindness."

David could have taken everyone in the village prisoners, including the soldiers loyal to the Barnett family and the indentured farmers who signed the contract, which could be used as bargaining chips to demand ransom from the Barnett family.

However, David did not leave the prisoners in the first place, but released these people directly.

And in order to "repair the relationship" with Baron David Glamorgan, the Barnett family very simply put this one

The ransom was paid off.

In addition, there is also the compensation paid for the "damage" caused to the town by Amarmantis against the town of Winter, as well as the pension for the wounded.

「……」

Is there anything to lose in Winter?

Some 30mm cannon bullets and several ground-to-surface missiles, which were fired by Arcie, a transformer, will regenerate ammunition from her body if it takes a while, which means that for Wintertown, only a little energy is lost.

As for the pension for the wounded, the soldier who had been slightly wounded by the stones from his own fire seemed to have received an unexpected windfall.

"Since it's compensation from the Barnett family, then I'll accept it unceremoniously!" David accepted all the money, and did not pretentiously say that he didn't need anything.

Anyway, Barnett is just "repairing the relationship" with himself, and he is not asking him to do anything. What was their relationship in the first place? It's just a relationship where we don't know each other!

Of course, now we can barely be considered acquainted, but we definitely can't talk about becoming friends. If conflict breaks out again in the future, David will not hesitate to take some money when it is time to do it.

After a casual chat with Maloney, David could feel that Maloney was now very restrained and couldn't let go of himself at all, and he was very cautious when answering questions.

As a result, David couldn't ask for any useful information from him, but he only managed to identify a few things:

Iron Tree Fort attaches great importance to the situation on the Northern Plains, so it will send a large number of elites, in addition to ensuring that the newly established northern town Snow Fort will not be destroyed in the hands of the orcs, but also wants to completely clear those orcs out of the Northern Plains after the weather improves next year.

The Irontree Castle was confident in this, and they didn't think there was anything terrible about the orcs, just like when they faced the elves when they first came to settle in the Irontree Forest.

Dishonest? Pick a quarrel? Beat until you're honest!

Is it because the elves in the Iron Tree Forest are watching humans cut down the Iron Tree and shrink their living area but never do anything, is it because they love peace and are unwilling to use force against humans?

No, it's because the elves can't beat the humans of Irontree!

According to what David heard from a young age, and later from Floyd, Gareth-Stanton, Addis, and others, the standing military force of Irontree consisted of at least 200 knights and cavalry, 300 strong archers, and 1,000 fully armed elite infantry.

In addition, there are spellcasters such as mages and alchemists, militiamen with military training, and knights and soldiers of each noble's own nobility.

As an important town in the northern part of the Tiran Kingdom, Iron Tree Fort has a very amazing military strength, so in the eyes of the top management of Iron Tree Castle, the fall of the orcs is only a matter of time.

However, the ensuing war, the increasing complexity of power in the northern plains, and the fact that the land was more barren than expected, made the land much less attractive to the nobles.

That's why the Barnett family took the initiative to show favor, and the Mansfield family, who didn't want to see David before, sent Maloney to Winter Town and other things happened.

Let Floyd take Maloney to stay at the Winter Hotel run by Jonah, and David sat in his office and thought slowly.

Helen, who had already mastered the lingua franca of Brennia in just one night through the props provided by Medivan, made and poured a cup of hot tea for David on the side.

Helen learns from Laura that David likes to drink tea and juice, with juice during meals and tea on weekdays.

At the same time, she also heard that the climate here in Winter Town is not very suitable for growing tea, and the tea in Winter Town is currently brought by Laura.

When Helen heard about it, she prepared to go back to Sparta to try to grow tea, and if she could succeed, the town of Winter would be able to obtain tea steadily.

Just as Helen was about to ask David how many servants he needed in the castle, Leon and Alcy suddenly came to him.

"Settled?" Seeing these two, David thought

Lyon seems to be scourging the small Spanish villages.

"Yes, thanks to Arcie, it was easy to solve." Leon had expected that this job would be troublesome, after all, the opponent was a strange parasite that he didn't know anything about.

As a result, the process went unexpectedly smoothly, and with Alsie's help, the Cult of Light and the village that had been overrun by the parasites had been completely destroyed by him.

At this time, he remembered what Krausa had said to himself: the mysterious knowledge he learned from Winter Town would help him better deal with all kinds of strange events!

At that time, Leon thought, "How can there be so many strange events?" I just feel that I have become stronger, and I can better deal with biochemical weapons such as zombies.

I didn't expect to be hit by Krausa so soon! It seems that his own world is not much more peaceful than the Marvel Universe and the Transformers Universe!

Leon, who gradually discovered the truth of the world, felt that he should be more attentive and diligent in learning mysterious knowledge, and at the same time, he should also say thank you to Davy for providing him with all this.

So after sending Ashley back home safely, he and Alsie came to Davy and made a special trip to thank him.

Alcy would come back so late, mainly to help Leon send people away.

As for helping Leon fight parasites, biochemical monsters, etc., she didn't care too much, the combat power of these creatures was simply not worth mentioning compared to the Decepticons.

After calmly accepting Leon's thanks, David hoped that Alsie would focus on Snowy Castle for the rest of the year, and it would be best to record the battle between Snowborne Castle and the Orcs.

"Don't you pay attention to the surrounding villages?"

"No, these villages won't be around for long!"
