Chapter 247: Earl Stewart's Mission
After Snowborne became David's territory, the inhabitants and the original garrison were transferred by David to Winterfell, and then the Diggers were stationed in Snowland Castle to rebuild the border guard of the current Winterfell territory.
The focus of the renovation was on the city, such as the construction of a relatively small power plant (using crystal ore as energy), a small garbage and sewage treatment plant, and infrastructure such as electricity, water supply, and sewerage.
This was followed by the paving of the road to ensure that the Transformers from Cybertron could move around Snowy Fort relatively freely, followed by the construction of various buildings.
At present, the building is mainly a military barracks, because the current situation of the snow castle is special, there are no civilians living here, and all the facilities are for military services, so the interior style of the renovated snow castle is very "cold and hard", and there is a solemn atmosphere everywhere.
After a general look, Earl Sutton-Stewart saw that there were no ordinary residents in Snowfield Castle, and the few people who were not wearing armor seemed to be soldiers.
"Aren't there any ordinary people and artisans in Snowplain Castle?"
"Nope." David didn't feel the need to hide any of these things, and when Sutton Stewart came to Winterfell with a large group of people, he knew that the wonders of Winterfell would be known to the Kingdom of Tiran: "At present, Snowfield Fort is the outermost defense line of Winterfell, and it is very close to the orcs, so it has been converted into a purely military facility."
In a way, he also wanted to show his territory, so that His Majesty King Eberson might have a lot of questions, but until some questions were answered, he would not be able to do anything to Winterfell, and David would be able to develop quietly for a while.
Sutton listened to David's various introductions, and knew that Winterfell had completely transformed Snowfield Castle, and it can be said that except for the circle of walls and the name of Snowfield Castle have not changed, there is nothing to do with the original Snow Castle here.
Even the building they entered was a new house that had just been built not long ago—the original fort that had just been framed had been demolished, and now this building, closer to the winter style, looked defenseless, but it would be more comfortable to live in.
Earl Sutton-Stewart and Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia arranged to rest here, while the Mission's escorts were ushered into the barracks.
Snowborne's army barracks were large and comfortable, as Winterfell didn't have many soldiers at the moment, so there were plenty of empty rooms to accommodate the guards.
As the guards entered the barracks, they felt a rush of heat on their faces and suddenly realized that they might not have to worry about freezing in this icy and snowy land.
"The living conditions of these soldiers in Winterfell are even better than the barracks in the Knights of Tiran......
The members of the Knights of Tiran are from good backgrounds, and if the living conditions are too poor, they will definitely be dissatisfied.
And the Knights of Tiran, as the strongest military force in the Kingdom of Tiran, all kinds of treatment are top-notch, even if it is the accommodation assigned by ordinary knights, it is no worse than the standard rooms of ordinary inns.
But only the Knights of Tiran can get this kind of treatment, and no other troops in the Kingdom of Tiran can enjoy such good benefits.
Unexpectedly, today in the cold frontier of the Kingdom of Tiran, the knights of the Knights of Tiran saw troops whose accommodation was no worse than that of the Knights of Tiran.
"Look at the heavy armor on those guys, this Earl of Glamorgan is very willing to spend money on soldiers." It costs a lot of money to feed a strong army, and many lords are reluctant to spend large sums of money on their soldiers.
Especially when it seems like an "unnecessary" expense!
"Considering that Lord Earl of Winterfell recently defeated the orcs, it seems that Lord Count made the right choice."
"Speaking of orcs, I'm starting to wonder what those so-called orcs really look like?"
The guards are discussing orcs, and Sutton Stewart is discussing orcs with David.
When he came to the Northern Plains this time, he was also tasked with investigating the military situation, and he had to determine how much threat the orcs posed to the Kingdom of Tiran, and he would report back to His Majesty the King in detail.
"Orcs...... Davy recounted all the information he had about orcs
, Sutton didn't care too much at first, he was similar to most people in the kingdom, how could a group of backward races defeated by the Winter Lord possibly pose a threat to the mighty Kingdom of Tiran?
Winterfell is only a small border town, and with a small population, it is obviously impossible to have a strong army.
Can be defeated by the Winter Lord, how weak are the orcs?
They wondered how wasteful the soldiers at Irontree were. Can't even resist a flock of weak chickens? He even had to ask the king for help.
Now I'm at Snowy Fort in person, and I've met David's Heavy Knights (Winter Knights in Power Armor), tall metal golems, and a powerful infrastructure that can quickly transform Snowy Fort into a purely military facility.
Sutton-Stewart had realized that the orcs were probably not as weak as they had originally thought, and that Irontree could not withstand the orc's attack, nor was it because of its own weakness.
It's the strength of Winterfell, which is stronger than everyone imagined!
Having listened to David's description at this time, the specific situation of the orcs proved the judgment Sutton had just made.
"Able to compete with elite knights, with a tall and stout body, and at the same time an incredible number of ......" the combat power of a single orc is not weak, and one-on-one can play against highly trained elite soldiers.
But what is even more terrifying is the number of orcs, Snowfield Fort was attacked by five thousand orcs before, and this is not the full strength of the orcs.
"At present, there are a large number of orcs scattered in the eastern part of the Northern Plains, and it is difficult to count the exact number, because these orcs have come to the Northern Plains from farther away, and they seem to be still migrating to this land."
David had considered going to the east to reconnoiter himself to see where these orcs came from.
However, after determining the existence of a powerful god behind the scenes, coupled with the crisp destruction of the Pretender One***, he temporarily abandoned this reconnaissance plan.
Fly directly over, will you be killed by the gods directly like the Pretender One? Even if it's just being inexplicably watched, it's not a good thing for him.
Why don't you maintain your current state first, improve your strength and observe if there will be any strange changes on the orc's side?
According to the dark elf priest he saw at the beginning, when the dark elves invaded the continent of Brennya, the goddess of the night did not help less; Later, when humans entered the continent of Breonnia, they also had the protection of the god of war and the goddess of harvest.
It doesn't make sense that the orcs don't have any power here, which means that the orcs obviously have bigger hole cards that haven't been used yet.
He didn't tell Sutton Stewart about this unconfirmed news, but even if he only told the Earl the information he currently had, it had already made Earl Sutton Stewart realize the seriousness of the matter.
The large number of orcs with good combat effectiveness is indeed a great threat, and after silently thinking about the terrain of the northern plains and the surrounding areas in his mind, Earl Sutton-Stewart wants to determine whether the orcs may threaten the inner region of the kingdom of Tiran from other routes.
Thankfully, unless these orcs are able to climb over the Tiran Mountains, only by breaking Winterfell and Irontree Keep in succession will they be able to threaten the core territory of the Kingdom of Tiran.
He suddenly remembered that some information had come out from the Sodurunma Empire some time ago: their eastern part had not been very peaceful in the past two years, and it had been attacked frequently.
When the Tiran Kingdom received this news, it was still lively and fun. Looking at it now, could it be that the Orcs who have attacked the shores of the Sodurunma Empire in the past two years are actually orcs?
After sorting out the various information in his mind, Sutton recorded the information first, and then asked about the situation of Snow Castle, and said that he wanted to see the current defense status of Snow Castle.
"If Winterfell needs it, the King will send the Knights of Tiran to Snowy Castle!"
"Not for now." David didn't want the fortress he had managed to occupy to be inexplicably taken by the Knights of Tiran.
The Knights of Tiran are stationed in Snowfield Castle, and Snow Castle will not be considered their own territory at that time? Did these knights listen to themselves or directly to the king?
The answer is very
Obviously, after all, even David himself was loyal to His Majesty, and it was impossible for the Knights of Tiran to ignore the King's orders and act on the orders of his count.
Coming out of the room, Sutton followed David up the city walls, where he noticed that there were always huge metal golems "hanging out" near the walls, apparently on guard and patrol.
"I've wanted to ask since just now."
"Ask what?"
"Are these metal golems made using alchemy?"
"No!" David greeted lightning not far away, "They're Cybertrons, a very special race."
"Forehead ......"
Sutton didn't expect that the metal golem he had always thought was actually a special kind of lifeform, and it was also a race.
So, these giant metal giants called Cybertrons have become the lords of Winterfell?
Could it be that the real reason why Winterfell is so powerful is because of these Cybertrons?
Sutton felt that he might have guessed the truth, and in a sense, his guess couldn't be wrong!
At the same time, the Earl was keenly aware that David seemed to be deliberately telling him this information, and it seemed that he wanted to explain to His Majesty the King the secret of Winterfell's power through his own report.
Why? Possibly as a show of loyalty? Beware of the suspicion from the king?
Whatever the idea, Sutton Stewart felt that his mission should be easier to accomplish - he was on a mission to Winterfell this time, in addition to investigating the situation of the orcs, he also had to find out the situation of Winterfell.
Including what the hell is going on with that so-called Wyvern? You have to find out clearly!
