Age of Empires From Scratch

White Rock City is an important town in the southern part of Tilan Kingdom, with very important economic and strategic value.

It was also for this reason that Abelson married his eldest daughter, Lana, to the Otto family, in order to win over the family and completely tie it to the chariot of the Kingdom of Tilan.

At present, it seems that this choice is not wrong. At this time when rebellions occurred in many southern territories, White Rock City has always stood firmly on the side of the kingdom, preventing those rebellions from spreading to the interior of the Kingdom of Tilan, and keeping the situation under control at an acceptable level. within the extent.

In addition, the standing of White Rock City also made it impossible for the troops of the Holy Gunter Kingdom to move forward. At most, they would operate near the border and dare not cross the border to launch a real attack on the Kingdom of Tilan.

"So, this time, His Majesty the King will personally lead the main army of Tilan Kingdom and the 'Allied Forces' brought by many lords, and head south to White Rock City."

After Rosie left with her two sons, David, Freud, Laura, Sylvanas and others looked at the map and discussed the possible next big battle.

Floyd pointed to the map and introduced the importance of White Rock City to his lord: "If there is a real armed confrontation or even a direct war between the two sides, the battlefield will most likely be on the plain southwest of White Rock City, where the terrain is open and flat enough for both Fang will deploy all his forces."

This kind of armed confrontation does not have any tactical strategies such as interspersed, slamming east and west. Considering the strategic significance of White Rock City, if the Holy Gunter Kingdom really wants to go to war, it must break and occupy White Rock City.

"I heard that White Rock City is very lively. I really want to go and see it." Sophia didn't care much about the battlefield or the situation of the big country.

She has already learned from David that this battle has little to do with Winter City, and it is not even certain whether the main army of the Kingdom of Tilan will actually fight.

The high probability is to go out for a while, confront each other or scold each other for a few days.

Even if the fight really starts, the coalition formed by other lords will be the main force in the initial stage. There are only ten soldiers in Winter City, and there is a high probability that all of them will stay behind to protect their lord, the Earl of Glamorgan.

In this case, Sophia has nothing to worry about. Instead, her focus is on White Rock City itself, and she can go to see her sister she hasn't seen in a few years.

"If you want to go, go together!"

Anyway, with the Quin-style fighter jets and Arcee, Sophia doesn't have to follow the big army, she can just fly directly to White Rock City.

Even if the speed is deliberately controlled, Sophia, who is moving in a fighter plane, will not feel hard, and there will be no safety issues.

After listening to David's words, Sophia also began to seriously consider whether to go to White Rock City? She was going to say hello to her parents in a while, and if they didn't object strongly, she would go by herself!

Compared with Sophia, David may have to work harder!

As a lord, and a lord that His Majesty the King valued very much, he will most likely move with the large army and ride behind His Majesty the King this time on his expedition to the south.

"If you're going to ride with the army, what about the Winter Knight?"

"Of course I will continue to ride the Quin-style fighter jets. Could it be that you let the winter knights wear blizzard power armor to ride horses? The horses are too miserable..." David knew that there were many very strong war horses in the Kingdom of Tilan, and the load-bearing capacity of these horses was no higher than that of Azeroth's top horse is poor.

But no matter how exaggerated it is, it won't be able to carry a Winter Knight wearing a full set of Blizzard power armor for a long journey, right?

After hesitating for a few seconds, David found that it was not impossible...

However, he still thinks that it is better for the Winter Knight to continue to ride the Quin-style fighter, and the horse will limit the combat effectiveness of the Winter Knight.

"Your Majesty, don't you keep a few knights with you?" Freud was not worried about David's safety. David, who was with His Majesty the King, couldn't possibly have safety issues. The reason for asking his lord to bring a few knights Support the scene.

"There is no need for this..."

"I'm not wearing blizzard power armor, I'll follow David!" Sylvanas thinks blizzard power armor is a good set of equipment, but she has her own fighting habits, so she will wear her own when there are no special circumstances. Armor, use bow and arrow to fight.

Her attire does not interfere with horseback riding, nor is it suitable for airborne combat from a Quinjet fighter, and it is more suitable for operations with David.

The same is true of Jaina, but the female mage has no interest in riding a horse. When everyone looks at her, she decisively expresses that she prefers to fly.

"It's better for me to act together with the adults. It doesn't matter if the armor is placed on the fighter plane. As for the combat command... To be honest, Brock is more suitable for commanding this kind of airborne combat than me."

David nodded. In this case, the etiquette officer Elias Parker, the personal guard knight Floyd, and the temporary guest guard Sylvanas followed him, as a person who did not bring many soldiers. Lord, there are already quite a few of the three cronies by his side.

The rest of the people continued to operate on the Quinjet fighter plane. If Sophia also wanted to go south, Arcee would follow Sophia to ensure the princess's personal safety.

"Let's arrange it like this!"

David looked at the time. Sutton Stewart had asked him to go out of the city together to see the camps established by the soldiers who came one after another.

David didn't want to miss such an opportunity to learn about the strength of the other lords of Tilan Kingdom, so he accepted Sutton's invitation.

Riding on the tall horse specially arranged for him, David and Sutton led a few guards and left the capital without hindrance.

The camps arranged by His Majesty the King for many lords are located in an open area in the southwest corner of the capital. The purpose of choosing this place is to facilitate the subsequent gathering of the army going south.

So David and Sutton rode their horses from the city from the south gate of the capital, turned to the west for a while, and soon saw the temporary military camp that was specially surrounded.

At present, the guards of the barracks are the guards of Tilan King's Capital. These soldiers are not only protecting the barracks, but also guarding these soldiers from all over the country.

But their tasks are not complicated. The soldiers in the camp are not allowed to leave the camp without reasonable reasons and orders. As for what the soldiers from the South China Sea and the North are doing in the camp these days, they don't care!

Even if these soldiers from different places broke out in conflicts and conflicts, or even fought directly, as long as they did not fight outside the camp, the guard soldiers would ignore them at all, and would even watch the excitement and cheer on.

In this case, it is completely predictable how chaotic the temporary barracks will be.

After riding a war horse into the barracks, David looked at the messy, disorderly, and arbitrary tents and bonfires around him, and seriously doubted whether this coalition army was a motley army that the lords from all over the country randomly pulled together a few strong men to make up the numbers?

"Can this kind of army have combat effectiveness?"

David felt that with this kind of waste, the ten winter knights he brought could kill them all without shooting.

"These are indeed miscellaneous troops, and the real elite will occupy a better position." Sutton has more experience in this situation. The Kingdom of Tilan has recruited lords quite a few times, and he has personally experienced many times.

The more you see, the more you understand.

"It's also related to the status of the lord himself."

When the big lord receives the summoning order, he will continue to convey the order to the small lords below. After recruiting manpower level by level, it will become a small joint force.

Such troops will have various differences in material distribution and treatment. After arriving in the capital, they will divide the territory according to the lord's strength, title, etc., arrange their trusted troops in the best position, and then consider the lower-level people. .

Generally, the most peripheral ones are those lords whose own strength is not enough, and their superiors do not have much strength, and what they bring is indeed some miscellaneous troops. These soldiers can only do some auxiliary work besides filling up the scene - such as building a camp. , patrolling, standing guard, looking for food, water and so on.

Continuing to move forward, the surrounding camps seem to gradually become clean, tidy and organized, and some strong soldiers can be seen spontaneously training or maintaining their weapons and armor.

"These soldiers look okay."

David was riding on a tall war horse. Although he didn't wear armor or a formal earl's dress, his gorgeous daily clothes also revealed his aristocratic status. With that young and handsome face, he looks like a nobleman who came down to watch the excitement driven by curiosity.

Facing such a "noble son brother", these soldiers reacted differently.

Some were exercising harder, and some were calmly continuing to do their own things. David glanced around, but he didn't see anyone showing disdain or contempt.

Only then did he realize that this situation is normal. In the hearts of people in this world, it is only natural for nobles to be superior.

What's more, these soldiers in the camp are also the vested interests of the aristocratic system, and there are even many knights among them. These people are also part of the aristocracy.

They will be envious, jealous, and want to be a part of it, but they will not look down with disdain.

Just as David continued to look around, there was a sudden noise in front.

This kind of situation is not uncommon here, and it can attract David's attention because it is a female voice who yells at him.

"Go away, you bastard with a mind full of disgusting stuff!"

David followed the voice and looked over, before asking Sutton next to him: 'Whose generals are those over there? ’ I saw that Sutton was already urging his war horse to watch the excitement.

Riding on horseback, David didn’t have to worry that he wouldn’t be able to see. The guards who came with the two had already stepped forward to drive away the onlookers and cleared a path for Earl Sutton Stewart and David Guerra Earl Morgan can ride into the circle and see what is happening:

A red-haired female knight in armor was confronting a strong man.
