Age of Empires From Scratch

Galloping south along the main road, they rode their horses all night and added another day. When it was getting dark, David and Sharon reined in their horses and stopped.

David looked back habitually. Although he was sure that no one was chasing him from Iron Tree Fort, he still couldn't control his neck.

Seeing David's actions, Sharon casually complained: You have turned back many times along the way, are you worried?

It's not worrying. David rubbed his neck, turning his head and looking around frequently, which made his neck a little sore: It just feels like something is missing.

According to common sense, shouldn't there be many pursuers at this time? It also has to be from different families, strong or weak, so that the protagonist, himself, has enough opportunities to pretend to be aggressive.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, he didn't even see a bird feather, which made him very disappointed.

After you received the note from Maloney, you galloped all the way. The nobles sent people out after they got the news. They probably didn't catch up with us so quickly. Sharon looked at David who was still sitting on the horse: If you are very worried, why don't you drive all night?

With the stamina and speed of these two war horses, if they travel overnight, they can completely throw off possible pursuers. But she is not very sure, after all, she doesn't know enough about this world. I don't know if the mounts in this world are also very strong?

Maybe there won't be any pursuers. David jumped off the horse, took out an apple from the luggage, and fed the horse to eat the apple while stroking the horse's mane: Some obvious things must always be obeyed.

Just like the Forrester family wanted to annex Cold Winter Village, even if it was located in a remote area, they had to find a plausible reason.

This is not for 'commoners' like David, but for other families who are also nobles - we are very disciplined.

It is also now, it is inconvenient for them to send someone to kill David too bluntly. Even if they want to 'send someone', they will hire guys who seem to have nothing to do with them, such as bandits, bandits, mercenaries and the like.

But now in a hurry, they don't have time to make these arrangements.

After repeating the analysis, Sharon rolled her eyes: So, there's no need for us to hurry?

It is still necessary. If we really waste a few days in Iron Tree Fort, there may be many bandits, robbers, and mercenaries along the way, and they will all want to kill us. Now with David's Running all the way, none of these enemies will appear.

Okay! Sounds like a lot less trouble.

Sharon is a super soldier who has received various trainings since she was a child. She has good combat power, but that doesn't mean she is a lunatic who is obsessed with fighting and killing.

As the daughter of Captain America, although Sharon has not shown any particularly great sentiments, she has been taught by such a father since she was a child, and her three views are still very normal.

Leading the horses to the side of the road, David and Sharon didn't stop in the villages and towns because they were on their way, so they could only rest on the side of the road for one night.

Let's just rest for a night. According to this speed, we should be able to reach Wangbei Town tomorrow. Wangbei Town is the largest town on the way from Iron Tree Fort to Tilan King's Capital.

At the same time, it is also the transportation hub of the northern region of the Tilan Kingdom. It used to be an important border town in the northern part of the Tilan Kingdom until the Tilan Kingdom pushed its territory into the Iron Tree Forest and established the Iron Tree Fort.

To be honest, I prefer to sleep in the wild. Although I only stayed in Iron Tree Fort for less than half a day, I didn't even stop and left directly.

But the poor sanitary environment of Iron Tree Fort still left an indelible impression on Sharon.

She had given up all hope of hygiene in the world. In comparison, the environment in Cold Winter Village is much better, especially after David, the village head, built a public toilet and made mandatory requirements for the public and personal sanitation environment in the village.

The environment in the capital is not very bad, is it?

I haven't been there either. David waved his hands to express that he didn't know: But don't hold out too much hope, think about Paris and London back then.

Sharon sighed, she deeply felt the huge gap between a modern person from the civilized age and this backward world.

Glancing at David, although many things were not clearly stated, smart people can discover many things, not to mention that after David figured it out, he didn't do anything to cover it up.

How did you get used to it?

David and Sharon found some rocks and gathered some firewood to start a bonfire. After sitting down, they began to search for food in the luggage.

Adapt to what?

this world.

Oh, this one! David lowered his head and continued to choose the dinner he wanted to eat: I didn't choose at first, but you will know later.

Joining the pioneering team, building Cold Winter Village, and letting the village develop according to your own ideas will naturally solve the problem.

After Sharon understood what David meant, she thought of similar questions like Mark: So, what will you build the village into? A more modern and civilized city?

She also thought of a deeper question, can other people in this world, especially those rulers, allow such a special city to exist?

If the so-called modernization is just to match the era you live in, then you underestimate me! David took out some dried meat and some chopped vegetables, threw them into a small pot and added some water to cook together, and then took out A few pieces of bread, placed on the lid of the pot next to the fire to heat up: My goal is the stars and the sea!

...

Sharon felt that David was joking, maybe he didn't want to answer his own question, so he used this way of joking to break the topic.

From a certain point of view, Sharon's feeling is not wrong, and David did deliberately pull this topic apart.

Some things can be talked with Fording, Laura, and even scientists like Mark and Leonard, but it is inconvenient to discuss with superheroes like Steve, Peggy and Sharon.

When it comes to the development of Cold Winter Village, if we talk about it in depth, some topics are almost unavoidable. If David wants to grow the village, not to mention building a huge country, even if it is just a big enough city, it will inevitably conflict with surrounding forces.

This kind of conflict does not necessarily involve others provoking David, but also David's provoking others.

To give a simple example, with the continuous expansion of the power of Winter City, the villagers under David's rule have to reclaim more fields, but they have already reclaimed to the door of other people's houses. As a lord, what should you do?

From the standpoint of the lord, of course he is supporting the villagers under his rule. After all, it is not his subjects who are being bullied. He does not need to worry about other people's people. That is a headache for the lord opposite.

So here comes the question, will the captains of justice unconditionally support David at this time?

In addition, regardless of the fact that Rinwinter Village already has hundreds of villagers, and has even started modern infrastructure construction, the Rinwinter Town, or Rinwinter Fortress he envisioned, will be built soon.

But he has never overlooked one thing: there is not even a real soldier in his territory now!

At first there were no people; now there is no shortage of people, and even those craftsmen and miners are still top-level soldiers, but don’t forget that they came to David’s place just to avoid wars and disputes. If you still want to fight, stay in the Is Westfall bad? There is a real hatred between them and the Stormwind Kingdom.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that the actual combat power of Cold Winter Village is very amazing, and it is not afraid of the invasion of foreign enemies at all, there are many deep-seated problems, and on these problems, David can't find anyone who can discuss solutions with him.

So far, the way he can think of is to make these partners have more sense of identity with this town through the construction of Cold Winter Village, to ensure that the city is established and developed as expected, and to attract more people through a better living environment. More locals moved to Winter City to live in and expand the city, forming a virtuous circle.

In this case, the poached surrounding forces either take the initiative to launch an attack on Rinwinter Town, then he can hold high the banner of justice to counterattack and destroy the opponent; or annex the opponent naturally.

This may be the only development direction that does not cause dissatisfaction among these just heroes.

I never thought before that there would be a lack of unjust helpers around me.

After snorting, he took a sip of the mixed vegetable stew, and took a bite of the hard bread. David glanced at Sharon in front of him.

He is thinking, if he develops Winter City well enough, and Sharon sees how miserable the life of the common people at the bottom of this world is, will he choose to identify with himself, and finally firmly support himself to eliminate other forces, and fight for the sake of Winter? war?

When the time comes when Sharon fights the enemy, she can also shout loudly: For freedom!

If that happens, it will be fun!

Not only Sharon, but even several captains lined up, shouted freedom and then launched a charge, defeating all the feudal forces blocking the front of the Winter Empire.

However, what kind of Winter Empire really came up with, I should be the first to be defeated by these three, right?

Whether Captain America, Captain Carter, and Sharon, the second-generation Captain America, will become Captain Liberty, he doesn't know. Just when David wanted to rest on the tree trunk, he found someone approaching.

somebody is coming.

Sharon, who was also aware of it, moved her hand to the lance, and before she could hold her own weapon, she saw an old man walking on the road next to him with a luminous long stick.

The long stick in the old man's hand was about the height of a person, with a bright light emitting from the top end, illuminating everything around him, and also allowing David and Sharon to see the old man's appearance clearly for the first time.

The old man also noticed the two people who raised a bonfire not far from the roadside, and walked straight towards them: I accidentally went in the wrong direction and missed the village, can I rest here with you for a night?
