Chapter 285: Fishing in Troubled Waters
The sun is shining and the spring flowers are blooming!
This year's temperature did rise much earlier than usual, and David stood on the roof of Fort Glamorgan and looked around, not only the winter forest in the north had turned green, but also the grassland in the east.
Farmers are already busy in the fields, and public buses are plying the city to take the workers to where they go to work.
After walking around the roof, and taking a general look at his territory, David noticed that there was an extra person on the roof.
"Good morning, Miss Hood."
"Good morning, Lord Count."
"Just call me David."
"It's necessary etiquette, Lord Earl." In the light of the morning sun, Hood's brilliant blonde hair was tied in a bunch and draped over his right shoulder.
Looking at Hood's hairstyle, David wanted to complain, but finally held back: "How was it to live in Winterfell? Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"
"No, it's beautiful, and everyone takes good care of me."
Hood had lived in Winterfell for a while and had begun to adjust to life here.
The Brunnia lingua franca has also been learned, and Laura and Eva often talk to her, which has allowed her to master the new language faster, and now she can not only use the Brunnian lingua franca to converse with people very well, but also has no accent.
"It's just that I'm embarrassed to be taken care of by you all the time."
Hood felt that his injuries had already healed, and after so many days of recuperation, his body was gradually returning to his best condition.
It's so embarrassing to always eat and drink like this, she ran to the roof today, in fact, to ask David, is there any job here in Winterfell that suits her?
"You want something to do?"
"Yes."
"What do you want to do?"
A very common question, but it stopped Hood.
What do you want to do? Hood hadn't thought about it since the day he was born!
Because she is a battleship, from the day she was born, she had an innate mission: to gallop the seas and fight the enemy!
Other than that, she didn't think about what she could do, and she didn't know what she could do? If it weren't for David asking her, she wouldn't even have thought about it.
To a certain extent, dying in the war is the best destination for their kind of existence, otherwise after the war is over, where should their existence go?
"This ...... I just know how to fight."
David glanced at Hood, who was confused, and simply led him to the west side of the roof, looking at the wide river not far away and introducing Hood: "That's the Winter River."
Hood knew this, and it was in that river that she had been scooped up, the vastness of which reminded her of the free ocean.
"The river leads directly to the sea." David introduced Hood to the Winter, the upstream does not need to say much, but the downstream leads directly to the sea, which makes Hood seem to realize something: "Winterfell can enter the ocean through this river and reach another country; In the same way, the other party can come to me through the Winter River."
"I see." Hood nodded, squinting at the mighty river in the distance, "It's a perfect job for me."
She's willing to help David protect Winterfell, and she doesn't know anything else anyway, so she might as well do what she's good at.
"Actually, I'm building Winterfell's own navy."
David chatted with Hood specifically, not just wanting a thug, he hoped that Hood could help James Norrington better train sailors and cultivate a group of modern naval seedlings for Winterfell as soon as possible.
He knew that this idea was very unrealistic, very difficult, and the success rate was still very low, after all, the illiteracy rate of the Winterfell army was still very high, even if James Norrington worked hard to select a group of soldiers who were not so illiterate, and actively trained, but it was still very
It is difficult for all sailors to grow into good modern naval officers.
But no matter how difficult and unrealistic it is, we have to start doing it, and we can't really wait for the cultural knowledge of Winterfell to become more popular, and then go to the navy, right? How many years will it take?
"Rather than helping to defend against enemies from the seas yourself, I hope you can help me develop more people who can defend the sea for the Winter Town."
"Ah, this ......" Hood realized that David had hoped that he would help him train a good navy, but she didn't know if she could do it well, and she was embarrassed to refuse: "I'll try."
"Don't worry, don't worry about not doing well, because in all of Winterfell, there can't be anyone better than you."
Hood didn't know that David was telling the truth, and thought he was simply comforting himself and cheering himself on: "Lord Earl, what a gentle man!"
「……」
The other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but David did not explain, but gave Hood a bright smile to the rising sun, and then watched Hood leave the roof of Fort Glamorgan, and went to Eva to ask about the details of the Winterfell navy.
When Chang~
David watched in amazement as a blue square appeared out of thin air where Hood had just been standing, landing on the ground in front of him.
「……」
Bending down to pick up the cube, looking at the blue Rubik's cube, wondering if this meant that Hood's liking for him had improved again?
Could it be that every time Hood's liking for himself increases, he will give him a Rubik's Cube? But what is the use of this thing?
"Can't you just give me a copy of the manual?"
Speechless, he threw the Rubik's Cube in his hand up and down, and David simply studied it again on the roof, and it was not until it was close to noon that David left the roof and went downstairs, and came to the office to listen to Megatron's report through the communication device.
According to Megatron's report, the Spartan heavy infantry is currently steadily cleaning up the orcs in the area east of the snowfield fort, and the Winter Knights have destroyed several orc villages and factories in a row.
"My lord, do you want to regain your strength properly and give the orcs a chance to regroup?"
Megatron meant to take back Winterfell's army so that the orcs thought that Winterfell would not continue to hunt them down, and then regrouped together, so that Winterfell only needed to seize the moment and solve the orc's problem once and for all.
"No, just take this opportunity to train your troops." It's not a good thing for the Spartan heavy infantry to stay in the barracks all the time, and letting them out fight a few battles can still make these "rookie recruits" see blood. qs
Moreover, this kind of long-term and tedious task can hone the spiritual will of the soldiers and allow the commander and the soldier to cultivate more tacit understanding.
The scattered orcs outside can also give the Decepticons more opportunities to attack, effectively reducing the probability of the Decepticons holding back at home for a long time to make trouble.
"So be it! Once all the orc villages and towns have been completely destroyed, and there are no more orcs gathered in the east, you can return to Winterfell."
"Okay!"
Megatron obeyed David's orders unconditionally, and judging from the situation during this time, Megatron also controlled the Decepticons very well, and the Decepticons did begin to integrate into Winterfell without any problems.
Originally, David wasn't sure if it was good or bad to recruit the Decepticons as residents of Winterfell.
Now that everything is on the bright side, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
He then made contact with Gareth Stanton, the commander of the Winter Knights, who he had now sent to Irontree.
"Your Excellency."
"How's it going over there?"
"It's okay, but the war situation on the side of Irontree is much more intense than expected." Gareth reported as he transmitted some footage.
David played the screen directly, and a non appeared on his desk
Often realistic holograms.
With just a glance, David recognized that the fortress was the defensive fortress on the northwest side of Irontree Fort, and at this time, countless human soldiers of Irontree Castle were mixed up with elves, and the most conspicuous thing on the battlefield was the giant trees on the elven side that did not know whether they were creatures or plants.
These giant trees rampage across the battlefield, and with a wave of their arms, they can knock several heavily armored soldiers flying, which is also a key factor in the elves' ability to occupy the battlefield advantage even though they are inferior in numbers and equipment.
However, the number of these giant trees is not large, and the human soldiers and knights of Iron Tree Fort are not completely unable to deal with this thing, so the human side is only slightly at a disadvantage, and it is not so easy for the elves to win.
But even so, the clouds of war hung over the Iron Tree Fort, and the nobles in the inner city were not doing much, and the civilians in the outer city were already panicking.
They weren't blindly worried, because the elves did break through the outer defense line and attack the outer city, but the follow-up forces couldn't keep up, and finally retreated to the Iron Tree Forest.
"Now it's not just the forcibly relocated population who want to leave Irontree as soon as possible, even the local civilians of Irontree Castle also have a lot of people who want to leave."
The only problem was that these people were afraid of being attacked by the elves on their way to Winterfell, so they didn't dare to go north, after all, they would have to walk a long way along the Iron Tree Forest.
"I asked Optimus Prime to take a team of Autobots and Spartan hoplites over to take care of the guard."
David didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, the elves attacked Iron Tree Castle like crazy, and they could also increase the population for him?
But think about it, it's normal. Civilians are forced to move to avoid war, which has happened many times in history, and has even led to the development of otherwise inhospitable areas.
"If the whole of the Kingdom of Tiran were mired in war, Winterfell would be able to grow even faster."
Thinking further, David could also lead his army south under the banner of "quelling the rebellion", and when the time comes, he will claim to be an army of 830,000 and scare these guys to death.
