Armed with a souvenir from Captain America Steve, David returned to Winter and placed the small box containing the Soul Gem in the drawer of his desk.

Before closing the drawer, David thought that maybe Steve would throw a few other gems at him in the future, so should he bring Loki and let him see his drawer?

David, who returned to his bedroom with a cranky thought, fell asleep......

Drinking a lot of alcoholic beverages didn't make David have any hangovers or can't get out of bed, and even got up a little earlier than usual.

Standing on the roof of Fort Glamorgan, David watched as the morning sun slowly rose over the horizon, coloring the new winter town.

Of course, this is just David's opinion, and from time to time he will have some special feelings in his heart about the town he has built.

"Woke up so early today?"

David was still looking at the city of his own, but he also sensed someone approaching behind him, and knew who it was.

"Aren't you used to sleeping?"

"No, I'm comfortable here, but I'm not used to going back to Sparta." Helen walked over to Davy and stood with him on the edge of the roof, looking south of Wintertown, which was now the most built.

As the sun rises, the town of Winter becomes lively, and more and more houses begin to light up.

"Lights, running water, and all sorts of appliances." Helen saw many things that she could never have dreamed of here in Winter Town, and felt what it means to live a truly comfortable life.

In comparison, the days he once spent in Sparta were not much different from those of wild beasts!

Because of this huge difference, she is even more reluctant to leave Winter Town, hoping that she can live here forever.

Becoming David's wife was naturally the greatest goal; Even if she didn't succeed, she hoped that she would stay here, that she would grow tea in Sparta and bring in a group of servants to liven up Fort Glamorgan, all in an effort to achieve her goal. Z.br>

In addition to that, she also wanted to help when she heard that David wanted to expand the soldiers in Wintertown.

"Soldiers?"

"Yes." Helen said that there was no shortage of strong, good men in Sparta, and that they were excellent soldiers: "If you need it, I can bring some with you."

Helen said that the Spartan soldiers were strong, hardworking, and undemanding, and did not cost as much money as David's Winter Knights.

"It's a choice, indeed." David originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that training a second-tier army didn't seem like a big deal.

With the development of Winter Town, there are more and more areas that need to be armed, and it is indeed necessary to expand a large number of people.

And these Spartans, who were originally soldiers, were also easier to train into the elite than civilians.

In addition to that, David could see that Helen had some selfishness.

Train a group of soldiers, these soldiers are Spartans, and they will naturally be closer to Helen, the Spartan princess, and will become Helen's biggest supporter in Winter Town.

In addition, after these Spartan soldiers returned home, they could also contribute to Sparta and pass on what they learned from Winter Town to the people in Sparta.

If you can transmit some mysterious power back to Sparta, you can also make Sparta a more powerful country!

But these are all small things, and they don't make a difference to David.

"You really need to hire people, and since you have this in mind, bring some Spartans over!" David instructed, because the kind of equipment made by Medivin to learn the common language of Brennia has only made a few more, so Helen can slowly bring it over a few people.

Let them learn the lingua franca of Brunnia first, and then bring new people over.

"I know how to do it!" Helen thought about it, and then asked how many people should be brought?

"Let's bring a hundred people first!"

A hundred Spas

Da soldiers, you can first build the framework of this Spartan legion, and if there is a need for expansion in the future, this hundred people are the foundation.

"Spartan...... Phase I?"

Such a word suddenly popped into his mind, and David, who was thinking about whether to train these Spartans into hoplite soldiers, began to deviate from the picture in his mind.

From an ancient soldier wearing heavy infantry armor to an airborne soldier wearing mobile combat armor.

"Seems interesting, too."

When the time comes, 300 hell paratroopers will be airdropped directly to the enemy's hometown, and the scene will definitely be spectacular!

Because Helen was led away by his thinking, David did not continue to blow the wind on the roof, and came to the office while chatting and started today's work.

According to David's prediction, in the next period of time, in addition to waiting quietly, he was careful to beware of the surrounding villages making trouble.

But things don't always go the way they were supposed to go.

With the arrival of late autumn, David keenly noticed that the population of Winter Town had grown much faster, and soon exceeded 1,000 people.

At first, he thought that the surrounding villages and towns were starting to do something, but after asking Eva and Weatherby-Swan, he learned that there seemed to be a situation on the side of Snowborne Castle, and the farmers, soldiers, and craftsmen in the surrounding villages and towns who belonged to the nobles of Irontree Fort were all taken away by Snowborne Castle.

The rest were free peasants from all over the kingdom of Tiran, who had been abandoned by the villages they had joined.

Except for a few people who felt that they had monopolized a large area of farmland and decided to stay where they were, the rest of the free farmers fled to Rinwinter Town.

In other words, after a lot of effort and waste of more than half a year, these farmers who were finally intercepted finally came to Winter Town.

It's just that, compared to the farmers who first came to Winter, these people have nothing, and they don't get all the benefits that those people received earlier: free house-sharing, adequate food, ownership of farmland as long as it is cultivated, and so on.

These people who have come to Winter Town now need to borrow money from Winter Town or Lord Lord to ensure that they can survive this winter.

At the same time, in order to earn enough living expenses, they can only choose to work for the original residents of Winter Town.

The arrival of these people also perfectly filled the original vacancy in Winter Town, allowing those shops in Winter Town to start operating.

"So...... Now in the entire Northern Plains, only our Winter Town and Snowfield Fort are left?"

Arcie flew the entire northern plain again, determined the situation in the surrounding villages and towns, and then reported to David.

"And Frosttown."

「……」

David felt speechless for a while, he was careful and prepared, and even began to prepare to drum up the first phase of Sparta to expand the number of troops.

As a result, before he started to exert his strength, the surrounding forces were all finished!

Although there were still some people left in some villages, the situation was similar to that when David was in the pioneer camp alone, it was not a village at all.

"These guys...... It's even more vulnerable than I expected!"

Pouting, David asked about Snowy Castle.

Actually pooling all the forces on the northern plains, is the situation in Snow Fort so bad?

"It's not that Snowborne Castle is in a bad situation, Snowborne Castle hasn't been attacked by orcs yet."

It was not Alsie who reported it, but Vanessa Van Cleeff, who followed Alsie and got off the plane at Fort Snow, and after carefully inquiring about the news, she took Vanessa Van Cleeff back with Alsie.

"All the villages east of Snowborne have fallen, including the two towns closest to Snowborne Castle and built on the scale of a town."

The orcs were considered when these two towns were built, so a lot of resources were invested from the very beginning to build a semi-military facility to serve as a peripheral guard post for Snowfield Castle.

As a result, it was easily broken and occupied by the orcs, which made the Snow Fort realize that the threat of the orcs was more predictable

It has to be big to have such a violent reaction.

"The forces behind those villages realized that if the Snow Fort was attacked by the orcs, it would be impossible for their villages to resist it, and for various reasons, they concentrated all their forces to defend the Snow Fort first."

Vanessa told all the news she had heard, including that Snowborne Castle was reinforcing its walls and that it was time to make more weapons.

The 1,000 soldiers who were originally auxiliaries have also been armed, and Snowfield Fort has mobilized all the forces it can muster.

"Are the orcs so strong?"

David carefully recalled what happened to the orcs at the beginning, the human soldiers of this world didn't seem to suffer too much in the battle with the orcs, right?

Considering the number of reinforcements sent by Irontree Fort before, Snowborne would still be so nervous, so how many orcs were there?

"Here's the image I took."

Arsie, who looked like a human, was a Cybertron after all, and her eyes shone light, and then David and several of the military personnel in Wintertown saw the hologram that Arsie "shot".

"That's at least three thousand orcs!" Freud looked at the aerial footage released by Alcee, looking at the dense orcs "on the ground", and felt his whole scalp tingle.

"This is part of it, and I've seen a few smaller orc forces scattered throughout the plains east of Snowy Castle." As Alsie explains, the holograms keep switching: "Some of them are heading towards Frosttown."

「……」

Gareth and Freud were silent, and Kraussa frowned at the number, but when they looked at the lord, they saw that the Baron Glamorgan was calm.

It seems that this incredible number of orcs is not taken seriously by this adult.

In fact, at this time, David was thinking, should he help a little? After all, if Snowfield Castle is really lost, its own Winter Town will have to face these orcs head-on.

If you help, the main battlefield is in other people's territory, and you won't feel sorry even if you get into the mud!
