Chapter 280 Cleaning the Northern Plains
A battle that looked like it should have been massive, ended after only half a day.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Winter City army, the orc army has no way to survive. Even with the fel energy simile and the ability to transform into a giant, there is still no way to bridge the huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides.
The greatest advantage of the orcs, the number of people, was also offset by various powerful weapons.
Once the orc army gathers in large numbers, there will be a Jericho missile on the side of Winter City. After an earth-shattering explosion, only a small number of orcs, which were originally an astonishing number, are left scattered. Injured.
This kind of situation is particularly damaging to morale. If it is not facing the crisis of survival, and these orcs at the front line are affected by the evil energy, they have already become a little crazy, so they can barely maintain their morale without directly collapsing.
Under normal circumstances, David only needs to bomb a few times with missiles, and the Spartan heavy infantry can go up and clean up the battlefield.
What makes the orcs even more frustrating is that even if they managed to catch a relatively lonely metal man, they broke the opponent's energy shield with fel energy and finally wounded it. It seemed that when they were about to kill an enemy, the opponent Will suddenly return to normal, jump up and continue fighting with them.
That’s not enough, what makes the orcs even more incomprehensible is that these metal people who were beaten up obviously didn’t make any calls for help, but once they are in danger, other metal people will always arrive in time.
After fighting for a long time, the compatriots on my side kept dying, and the death was worse than the other, but even a metal man could not be killed.
Even under the influence of fel energy, the orcs who were a bit crazy finally collapsed!
The big defeat came earlier than David expected. At this time, the Winter Knights were still next to the Quin-style fighters transformed into mass-produced Decepticons, waiting for the order to attack.
"Destroy the orcs!"
David, who heard Gareth's report, issued a new order.
If it was changed to before, he might not be in a hurry to wipe out the orcs, and it would be fine to let them live in the eastern part of the northern plain.
He can definitely develop his own Winter City steadily and slowly, increase the population continuously, and then gradually make Winter City the most advanced and largest urban agglomeration on the Brennia continent.
But now he doesn’t think so anymore. These orcs were carrying evil energy or equipment. David just destroyed the evil energy crystal mines, and the orcs had already created a large number of evil energy symbols and shells. It is a huge hidden danger on the northern plains.
"Pay attention to looking for all items with evil energy, once found, destroy and purify them immediately."
The 'factories' that David had shown Gareth before are the targets that the Winter Knights will focus on next. When these factories are also destroyed, the orcs will completely lose their threat.
"I know what to do!"
Gareth Stanton understood the meaning of the lord very well. Next, he will order the Winter Knights to take the Quin-style fighters and attack everywhere. Their goals are the various cities and factories of the orcs, and strive to capture all the land on the northern plain. All orc creations are destroyed.
The task of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment is to sweep the ground. Next, they will clean up the northern plains on the ground. The target is the orcs who have been scattered and wandering on the northern plains.
This is not an interesting job, it is boring and time-consuming, and it can be regarded as a kind of training for the Spartan heavy infantry.
If all goes well, there will be no orc threat on the entire northern plain in half a year.
"Leading the Spartan heavy infantry to sweep the ground will be handed over to Jack Krause."
Klausar has been in Winter City for quite some time. After hard training, he has become a hunter with good strength. Tracking and other work happen to be his field of expertise.
So Krausa is better suited for this job than Gareth, and David has other tasks for Gareth to do.
"Although the orcs have been defeated, it doesn't mean that their threat has been completely eliminated. There are still many orcs on their home island of Asegos, and they may not necessarily show anything when they come back next time."
Besides, the elves in the south of Winter City didn't stop much. David wanted Gareth to go to Iron Tree Fort to see the situation.
"The most important thing is that you have to ensure smooth traffic between Iron Tree Fort and Winter City!"
Gareth nodded. He knew what the lord had done for him to let go of the orcs and go to Iron Tree Fort: The Kingdom of Tiran was moving its population to Winter City forcibly, but because of the war between Iron Tree Fort and the elves, these people could not arrive smoothly. Winter City.
This is unacceptable to David, so he wants Gareth to restore traffic and ensure that these people come to Winter City as usual and become the citizens of Winter City.
Megatron is absolutely loyal to him, and he doesn't have to worry about sudden betrayal.
At the same time, David also wanted to take this opportunity to see if the Decepticons would make any trouble when he was not watching nearby.
"My lord, how should I write the report to His Majesty the King?"
Elias Parker knew that the lord is not in a very good condition. After staying by David's side for so long, the lord always looks energetic, and he has to close his eyes and rest for a while like today This is the first time Elias has seen him in this state.
Normally, he should advise the lord to take a good rest, or ask the pharmacist to check the lord's body.
However, he knew that David's state today was related to the battle a while ago, and it was not a problem that a pharmacist could handle.
Looking at the beating fingers of David's right hand resting on the table, Elias knew that it wasn't that the lord didn't hear his words, but was thinking.
"There is no need to submit any reports. Cold Winter City just repelled a very common harassment from the orcs outside Snowfield Castle."
"Understood, my lord." Elias nodded. It seems that the lord is not going to tell the actual situation in the northern plain of the king's capital.
As for whether the real situation can be found out through other channels, that is the business of the king's capital. Elias feels that even if he wants to find out all the details, it will take a lot of time.
During this period of time, the Kingdom of Tiran will continue to migrate its population to Winter City, which is the fundamental reason why David is not going to report that the orcs have been defeated by him—the king will know later, and there may be more in Winter City population.
"My lord, why don't you just rest!"
"I don't have any problems with my body, it's just that I have consumed too much Holy Light." David explained casually that he was not injured or sick, and he didn't want to restore the Holy Light to its peak state as soon as possible, nor did he rely on rest.
After thinking about it, it seems that there is no important work to deal with at hand.
Krause led the heavy infantry to clean up the remnants of the orcs, and the Winter Knights under the command of Megatron focused on attacking the towns and factories of the orcs. Gareth took a small team of winter knights to Iron Tree Fort to restore the road to smooth Afterwards, Winter City will enter a period of rapid population growth.
The construction and planning of the city have already been done. Wetherby is in charge of internal affairs, and Elizabeth is in charge of public security. There are not many things that David must personally handle.
After a stroll out of Fort Glamorgan, David decided to pick up his old habits: he would walk around his territory when he was free, maybe he could see something interesting?
He is not going to drive. If necessary, he considers taking the public bus in Lower Winter City to experience his own public transportation for himself.
Walking out of the main entrance of Cold Winter Fortress, David first walked towards the Cathedral of Light diagonally opposite. He wanted to see how far Liadrin had developed the Holy Light Sect?
Although he knows that it is impossible to train a large number of priests at once, if possible, he very much hopes to see a group of newly born priests appear in Winter City within this year.
With the increase in population, the demand for medical treatment will also increase significantly, and the most important medical method in Winter City is Holy Light. This is an important reason why Holy Light quickly gained recognition in Winter City, and it is also a small hidden danger. .
It's not that David thinks the belief of Holy Light is bad, but that there are too few people in the Cathedral of Holy Light who can really use Holy Light, only Liadrin and Sally Whitemane.
Among them, Sally Whitemane worked more in the army, and Liadrin alone was obviously not enough.
He was thinking about whether to let Liadrin go back to Azeroth and recruit a group of Holy Light priests, even if they are rookies and new priests, it is enough to deal with minor injuries and illnesses.
Also, shouldn't a real hospital be built? If a hospital is to be established, how should the problem of doctors be solved? Each world recruits a batch?
While David was thinking about how to build a medical system, he saw Ethan Hunter walking towards the Cathedral of the Holy Light, carrying a few bags in his hand, and he didn't know what they contained.
"Are you delivering something?"
"Ah, hello! Earl of Glamorgan." Ethan didn't really want to meet David, because he didn't know how to address the lord properly, and he didn't know whether he should give a big gift: "Help Liad The pens, inks and some trinkets bought by Bishop Lin."
"Oh!" David also noticed Ethan's slightly embarrassed reaction, and soon he understood why Ethan almost never took the initiative to find himself.
Different from Steve and the others who came earlier and had more contact with David, Ethan doesn't know much about David's character.
Coupled with the status of noble lord, Ethan is similar to David back then, and he is unwilling to contact the 'nobles' from the bottom of his heart, especially in such a 'medieval world' where there is a gap between nobles and commoners.
"Don't be so restrained, just call me David."
