Snowflakes fluttering, north wind bleak.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

But for the northern plains, the new year still begins with a cold storm and snow. However, the people living in Winterfell are not affected by the cold wind and snow.

Stay in a heated house and don't worry about not waking up in a hostile environment.

The people of Winterfell don't have to worry about their living conditions, and the people of Winterfell have even shoveled snow and cleared snow as a kind of entertainment, and there are laughter and laughter everywhere in Winterfell from time to time.

In such an atmosphere, the speed of development of Winterfell can be imagined!

"The industrial zone is growing and growing, and several new factories have been built this month." Weatherby-Swan reports to David every once in a while on the situation in Winterfell, and today is the day of the regular report: "Clocks, pens and ink, compass rulers, school uniforms, ......"

"Against Winter Academy?"

"Yes."

All the learning materials used by the students of Winter Academy are distributed by the school.

In the past, the number of students was still small, and it was not a lot of trouble to ask Ethan to go back to his own world to buy these things, even if they were specially ordered by craftsmen in Winterfell.

But since the population of Winterfell has skyrocketed, there have been a lot of new students this year.

Not only did Winter Academy recruit many new teachers, but it also ordered a large number of school supplies - a move that also brought business opportunities to the nobles who had sufficient capital.

Some nobles have determined that Winter Academy will continue to open, that is to say, Winter Academy will not fall, with the increasing population, there will be new students enrolled every year, plus ink, notebooks and the like are consumables, which means that Winter Academy will have to purchase these things for a long time

So the aristocrats wanted to set up workshops to monopolize this stable business - and with the establishment of industrial zones, the workshops also became factories.

In addition to the increasing number of factories in the industrial area, more jobs were provided for the residents of the city: because of the large number of vacancies, orcs began to work in the factories.

With the construction of the east-west road, the civil transport industry began to take off, transporting all kinds of rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, and all kinds of clothing to Snowfield Castle and Tilland Harbor for sale.

It also stimulated the prosperity of the civilian vehicle production industry.

What David is facing now is not a stagnant economy or a lack of resources, but a shortage of labor.

The current 100,000 people in Winterfell City seem to be a lot, and compared with the small number of people at the beginning, it has increased a lot, but when the big development really started, it was found that 100,000 people was nothing at all.

This is still the case with the Cybertrons helping with the construction, and there are a lot of 'advanced' machinery in Winterfell City.

If it were purely human, these 100,000 people would not even be able to build Winterfell!

"What about the military industry?"

"Production lines for new light cavalry armor, heavy cavalry and super heavy cavalry systems have been set up, and the first equipment is expected to be produced before the weather warms up."

Light cavalry armor, heavy cavalry systems, and super heavy cavalry will be mass-produced soon.

Among them, the heavy cavalry system has three attitudes: motorcycle, flying skateboard and heavy armor, while the super heavy cavalry currently only produces two types of armed off-road vehicles/tank transformative large battle armor.

Whether other vehicles will be produced in the future depends on whether there is a demand for them in the future.

There is also a separate production line for ghost drones, but they will not be mass-produced at the moment, but only in small quantities, and depending on the actual use, it is decided whether to distribute them on a large scale or use them in small quantities as specific equipment.

Warframes are about to start production, and weapons will of course have to keep up.

The new Flute Multifunctional Rifle has been finalized and, after testing, is very much in line with the needs of the Knights of Tiran.

This flute multifunctional rifle has semi-automatic and fully automatic modes, which can shoot at ultra-long distances and accurate, and in addition to being able to fire live ammunition, it can also be switched to energy bullet firing mode.

In addition to the flute multifunctional rifle, a new mechanical bow was also finalized.

This mechanical bow is not inferior to the power of the flute rifle, and it is more friendly to rangers who have mastered arcane energy, because this mechanical bow has a high affinity for energy, and it also has a certain amplification and enhancement effect, which is actually an enchanted equipment.

If you want to talk about the disadvantages, it is because of the trouble to make and the special materials (some materials have to be farmed in the dungeon), and the manufacturing cost is much higher than that of the flute rifle.

But David didn't care, although Aidan and himself didn't go to the dungeon much anymore, but there were so many people in Winterfell, there were always people who needed to go into the dungeon to brush up.

For example, Gwen and the others still go inside from time to time to exercise, and Mark has often gone into the dungeon to improve his strength recently, and by the way, some materials come out.

Even if the dungeon still limits the number of people who can enter, as long as there are people entering it all the time, the materials that have the 'power of hell' will only increase.

Wouldn't it be better to keep those materials to occupy space and use them to make equipment and improve the strength of your subordinates?

"In this way, the Knights of Tiran will be able to form a combat force before the summer."

David set the date for his succession in the fall, and in the summer the Knights of Tiran were in line with his expectations.

After listening to Weatherby's report for a while, and then to Elizabeth's report.

Elizabeth is now the head of the Duchy of Winter's Police, responsible for the country's internal security, and she's done a good job so far.

Under her management, there have been no cases of a particularly bad nature in Winterfell so far, the most serious of which is fighting.

I don't have to worry about public security, and finally asked the military.

After a period of reorganization, the Winter Knights still do not meet the standard of 100 people.

If it was possible to fill up a hundred people according to the original standard, but Gareth and Freud raised the requirements of the Winter Knights, and those who could not master the Holy Light and become paladins in the future would not be recruited into the Winter Knights.

So far, less than one-third of the Winter Knights have mastered the Holy Light and become paladins, but everyone's progress is good, and at this pace, the full paladin transformation is not far off.

Speaking of which, Gareth also complained that Lower Sylvanas poached Jack Klausa, the only Ranger of the Winter Knights.

The Knights of Tiran, which have been reorganized by Sylvanas, currently have four hundred and fifty personnel, and this number will not change in a short period of time, and then it will be reduced because it cannot meet Sylvanas' requirements, or because of its excellent performance, it will be expanded to fill up the five hundred, it depends on the actual performance of the Knights of Tiran.

"The reorganized Winter Legion has reached two thousand."

"Why is there more of them?"

"Another batch of recruits has been recruited from among the civilians of Winterfell."

In the future, the Winter Legion will be the largest standing corps, and they will also take over most of the standing duties such as stationing, patrolling, and standing guard.

Add to that the 800-strong Spartan heavy infantry regiment and the Cybertrons, who are almost entirely warriors, and that's all Winterfell's current standing military strength.

With such military strength, it should be a simple matter to sweep the continent of Brennia.

What's more, David still has dozens of Kryptonians in his hands to command him, and he hasn't thought about whether to form a special forces team alone with Kryptonians or let General Zod command the Spartan heavy infantry regiment?

After listening to the routine report, David was about to call Zod to his office and ask him what he meant, when Clarice and Kara suddenly came to him.

"What's going on?"

"Kara has found some clues about the orc's hometown."

"Oh?"

David sent Rumlow and Logan to the eastern seas to search for the orc home of Assegos, but found nothing.

Later, he originally wanted the Cybertrons to go to the sea to see it, but recently, Kara and Clarice, who had been more idle, took over the job and flew to the east in a Quint fighter.

After Kara found some clues, the two of them directly used their flickering teleportation ability to return to Winterfell, and then ran directly to report to David.

"There's tech disguised as a reef on the ocean floor?"

"Hmm!"

Carla claims to have found more than one place, and seen several technological artifacts of the same structure in a certain area, which she observed as a kind of interface to a large facility.

"Oh?"

David immediately thought of a possibility: the so-called Assegos Island was actually a large ship disguised as an island? Or something like that?

It's not hard to guess, especially if you know that orcs are a race that the gods specifically 'thrown' out, and that there have been so many examples of humans and dark elves before.

"Are there any other facilities underneath the interface?"

"Didn't find it."

David nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and now he began to think about another question: if this island is really some kind of large facility, where will it go after completing the task of launching new races?

Flying away from the planet? Or is it somewhere else?

If you fly away from this planet, you don't have to think about it; But if you don't leave and anchor somewhere else, considering the depth of the water, does it mean that there is another continent to the east or beyond?

David didn't know if his guess was right, and if he happened to be right, that continent should have a more intimate connection with the gods of the 'heavens'.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome, just a little favor." Kara thinks that what she does is not worth mentioning, and after living in Winterfell for a while, she has come to love the place, and she wants the beauty of Winterfell to last for a long time, and she is willing to contribute to this: "Is there anything else that needs to be solved?" ”

"Not yet."

By the way, David wanted to ask how Carla was doing during this time? Have you found a job that suits you?

But Liadline was waiting outside, so David had to end the conversation and let Liadline in to report on the elves in the Iron Tree Forest.
