Chapter 225: Rick's Partner
David stood by the Winter River, looking at the black battleship that was burning on the surface of the river and would explode from time to time, and turned his head to ask Cecil beside him, "What level is this battleship in the Eternal Night Empire?"
"It's a fast assault ship." This assault ship has good maneuverability, and although it has slightly inferior firepower and defense, it is best suited for this kind of pursuit mission.
Considering that their targets are themselves and their sister Enid, two ordinary dark elves, there is no need to consider whether the firepower is too weak.
"What other types of warships are there in the Eternal Night Empire's navy?"
"Except for some old models, at present, they are mainly capital ships with strong defense and firepower, assault ships with strong maneuverability but slightly poor firepower, and protective ships that carry out port defense and patrol missions."
According to Cecil's introduction, going to sea is a combination of capital ships and assault ships, and the defense ships stay at the base, and the farthest is only to carry out offshore patrol missions.
Cecil could only ask for this level of information, and he didn't know the details.
"Did you catch any prisoners?"
Not far away, Skyfire and Arcie were still on alert, and Tony's steel soldiers had flown to the black battleship that was on fire to extinguish the fire.
"The Iron Soldiers are still searching, and there should be a Dark Elf still alive." Tony roughly observed that the black battleship was still in good condition as a whole, and the battleship was not directly disintegrated by Tianhuo and Alsie, which is generally not suitable for boarding and searching.
The Iron Soldier didn't have this problem, and he also wanted to keep the relatively complete Dark Elf military technology as much as possible.
David nodded and looked around, Gareth led twenty heavily armed members of the Winter Knights, always on guard to prevent the unexpected.
In the distance, Alcy also adjusted her direction and began to search farther away, making sure that there were no dark elves hiding nearby.
Everyone knew what to do at this time, and David didn't need to personally stare at and give various orders.
After quietly observing for a while, seeing that the steel soldiers were still busy on the ship, and had basically extinguished the fire on the black battleship, he turned around and looked around not far away.
There are quite a few people watching the excitement near the pier, because it is close to winter, the farm work has ended, and there has been no construction work recently.
In addition to the people who opened shops and worked in various shops, the rest of the residents of Winter Town went on vacation to prepare for the coming winter season by stockpiling food, making pickles, and buying clothes for the winter.
This makes many people in Winter Town relatively idle, and they will collectively appear on the scene to watch when they see a lively scene.
Thankfully, Elizabeth Swan's security team had been formed, and it was the Masons' Guild who were currently able to enjoy their free time to wander around, so they didn't cause any trouble.
Most of the newcomers to Winter are still working hard for their future, and they don't have time to watch the excitement everywhere.
In addition to these two groups, David noticed that Rick, who had just come to Winter and accepted David's offer to find survivors in his own world and increase the population of Winter Town, was also on the scene.
At the same time, there were several people beside him, who were looking around curiously.
From the clothes of these people, David could tell that they were from the modern earth, and Rick was very efficient, and he helped increase the population of Winter Town so quickly.
He doesn't bring many people at once, but as long as people keep coming, Rick's job is considered a success.
"Rick."
"Mr. Mayor."
The two of them said hello, but Rick still prefers to call David by the mayor, but I don't know if Rick will call him Lord or Lord when Winter Town becomes Winterfell?
"These are your "friends"?"
"Yes, they're the survivors I found not long ago."
Rick briefly introduced Davy to several new friends around him, some of whom David knew and others he didn't know.
Acquaintances include Glenn, a young Asian American, Daryl, known as Crossbowman, and Sean
As well as Rick's wife Lori and son Carl, as for David, who he didn't know, he also greeted each other.
These people have a variety of attitudes towards him, ranging from polite to slightly flattering, to outwardly respectful but defensive.
David didn't dwell too much on the attitudes of these people, and first congratulated Rick on his success in finding his family.
He then asked Rick what he thought, "Are you going to continue to return to your own world and find more survivors?" Or will you settle down in Wintertown?"
Rick looked at his partner next to him, then at his wife and son.
Emotionally speaking, he felt that he should choose to live in Winter Town and start a new life here with his wife and children.
In his opinion, Winter Town has enough good living conditions here that he and his family don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable here.
What's more, their original world is like that, and being able to live in a place that is not threatened by zombies is already something to celebrate.
His wife, Lori, and son, Carl, also wanted to stay, something they had discussed earlier.
However, Rick thinks of the father and son who helped him in the first place, and he wants to go back and find Morgan and bring them to Wintertown.
If he can, he hopes to find more survivors, and he should do what he can for his fellow human beings in that world!
"I see."
It didn't surprise David that Rick would make this choice, Rick wasn't the kind of person who would sit back and watch others suffer when he was able.
With Winter Town providing all kinds of supplies, logistics, and even security, Rick definitely hopes to help more people.
This is also in line with David's expectations for him: "You don't have to worry about being separated from your family for a long time, you can go there during the day to search for survivors and come back at night to rest."
According to David's description, Rick going to his world to search for survivors is not much different from going to work during the day.
As for the zombie threat? Rick can return to Winter Town at any time, and with the protection of various weapons, those zombies should pray that they don't touch Rick.
As more and more Transformers move to Wintertown, David is considering matching Rick with a few Transformers partners - in addition to allowing Rick to find survivors more efficiently, he can also properly collect various resources in that world.
A world that has become the end of the world, where only a handful of humans have survived, is a resource-rich warehouse for David, with countless things out there to pick up when he can pick them up.
After a few more conversations, David made sure that Rick had received the Breonnia lingua franca learning device from the Weatherby Councillor, and that his companions were already using the tool to learn the local language, and then left.
Looking at Baron Glamorgan, who was walking away, Rick and his companions continued to look out over the river.
The departure of the lord also made these somewhat nervous people let go a little.
"Whew~ I didn't dare to speak just now, I'm really worried that I'll say the wrong thing." Glenn glanced at David, who had already walked away, and the other party looked about the same age as himself, both young.
But this man is the lord of the city, and according to Rick's previous introduction, he is still a baron.
He had never faced such a "big man", especially since this big man was almost in control of their "life and death", which made him feel very nervous.
Rick's good friend and old partner Sean also glanced at Davy, who didn't care too much when he saw that the so-called Baron Glamorgan was just a young man, just a nobleman from a good background.
But when it comes to real face-to-face, Sean can feel that this so-called Baron Glamorgan is not an ordinary young man who can be provoked casually.
This is an intuition gained from years of work experience, and Sean, who believes in his intuition, does not talk nonsense until David is far away.
"Were you talking to the baron about the next job?"
"Yes!"
"Need help?" Although because of some "special" circumstances, Sean did something. But he still cares about his old friend, and when he knows that Rick is going back to that dangerous world, Sean is ready to go with him, and the two of them can take care of each other together.
"I won't be polite to you if you need to." Rick smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder, although he thought it would be nice to have someone to help, at least he wouldn't be too lonely and bored while searching for survivors over there.
However, he felt that Sean and they had more important things to do.
"Until then, I think it's better for you to learn the language here first, and get used to life here as soon as possible!" Rick hopes that everyone can grasp this second chance given by God and start a new life here in Winter Town: "That Mr. Mayor is building a security team during this time, and Sean should seize this opportunity."
Sean is an experienced small-town sheriff like himself, and he believes that as long as Sean learns the local language quickly, then he can find a suitable job here.
And Sean is different from himself, if he returns to that world, he can't go back and forth as freely as he is. For Sean, returning to that world to find survivors is a dangerous job.
He didn't want his good brother to take risks.
"But I don't think I'm afraid I'll be able to reuse it here."
Sean glanced at the river in the distance, and the strange black warship, the attack plane transformed by Arcie, the cruiser said to be the transformation of the Transformers, and the steel soldier all made him wonder if he had really come to the other world? Or is he actually dead, this is just an absurd hallucination he saw before he died, piecing together all the absurd elements he can think of?
If it's fake, it doesn't matter if it's reused or not;
If that's true, then how can he snatch a job of his own from the Transformers and the Iron Soldiers?
