Age of Empires From Scratch

If possible, Maloney also wants to buy some weapons like grenades. If they can be bought, relying on the fortress Iron Tree Fort, they will no longer have to fear the attacks of elves.

He felt that the possibility of this matter being negotiated was not low, because David Glamorgan, the Duke of Winter, could not sit back and watch Iron Tree Castle be captured by the elves. blow.

A lot of lords in the Kingdom of Tilan are all watching.

It never occurred to Maloney that David, the Duke of Glamorgan, didn't care about these things at all, and he didn't care what the lords in Tilan's country thought of him.

It was even a good thing for him that Iron Tree Fort was captured by elves, so that he could send troops south in a "reasonable" way to expel the elves and take advantage of the trend to occupy the entire territory of Iron Tree Fort.

To put it bluntly, he wished that the entire Kingdom of Tilan would be in chaos. It would be best if all the other places except the northern plains would be fought, and he would clearly express that he was against the Kingdom of Tilan. This would clear the way for him to go south in the future.

As it is now, only a small number of lords have rebelled from the Kingdom of Tilan, and most of them still use the banner of the Kingdom of Tilan, but it is not very easy to start.

That is to say, he is still operating the northern plains, otherwise he would have to think of a reason to go south and take the land into his own hands.

At that time, it may cause dissatisfaction from all sides. After tossing and tossing, force will still be used in the end. It is better to wait for the lords to rebel against the Kingdom of Tilan from the beginning, and clean it up by themselves.

Watching Maloney leave, David got up and walked out from behind the large desk.

Walking out of the office, Eva seemed to have chatted that David would come out, and was waiting here: "Earl Sutton Stewart and Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia are on the rooftop."

"oh."

"Should they be notified to come down?"

David waved his hands. It was very boring to sit there all the time. He decided to go to the rooftop to find Earl Stewart as a distraction: "I'll go find them!"

Anyway, Earl Sutton Stewart can be regarded as "one of his own people", so there is no need to worry too much about etiquette and regulations.

Elias next to him thought the same way, so he didn't express his objection, and followed the Duke quietly, pretending that he didn't exist.

Going up to the top floor, and then walking to the open-air terrace, David saw Sutton Stewart standing on the edge looking around at a glance, and Sophia who was introducing something to his uncle.

Not far behind the two, Belfast, who was still wearing a maid's outfit, stood there, greeted David immediately after seeing David's arrival, and at the same time reminded the other two: His Excellency the Duke has arrived.

"My lord duke!"

After turning around, Sutton Stewart saluted and greeted David immediately, with some emotion on his face. He never thought that the young man who was regarded as prey by himself at the beginning was now standing at the top of the Kingdom of Tilan .

Although he has not yet become a king, but judging from the current development situation, it is only a matter of time before the Duke of Winter becomes the Kingdom of Winter.

Sutton didn't feel any dissatisfaction. The interior of the Kingdom of Tilan was infiltrated into a sieve, and it was inevitable that something would happen.

It's just that at that time he didn't think that those guys in the temple would do it so ruthlessly.

Only then did he realize how naive his calculations were.

Thinking of the things done in the temple, he was very lucky to be able to live in style, not to mention that David, the Duke of Glamorgan, did not treat him badly.

"What's the matter with you running here suddenly today?"

Hearing David's tone and words, Sutton Stewart's face became a lot easier.

From this question alone, Sutton can draw the conclusion: David - Duke of Glamorgan is quite kind to him, at least he didn't use formulaic words to deal with him.

"I'm here to apply for a job."

"Huh?" David guessed several possibilities, but he really didn't expect that Sutton came to him to find a job: "Job hunting?"

"Yes."

After a brief explanation, David realized that compared with the nobles who came to Cold Winter City for the first time, Sutton came half a beat later, and most of the property of the Stewart family was confiscated by the Duke.

The nobles who came to Cold Winter City after the resurrection could personally identify which ones belonged to their own family, and spend some money to ask the Cybertronians to help dig them out.

Although they lost their houses and were far away from their "fiefdoms", the savings of the nobles are still there, and these family assets are enough for them not to worry about their current lives.

Some of the aristocrats who were in White Rock City and survived had their family members stay in Tilan King Capital, so their property was also preserved.

For the nobles who failed to be resurrected, their property became the 'trophy' of Duke David, and after being dug out, it went directly into the Duke's private coffers.

Among them, there is Sutton Stewart's property.

Although Queen Sophia and Rosie pointed out that part of the assets belonged to Sutton, there were also some assets that Sutton developed and stored separately. David's fanny pack.

When Sutton came to Cold Winter City, he found that his assets had shrunk significantly. After recuperating and spending money to build a luxurious and comfortable manor, he urgently needed a stable income to ensure his future good life.

In fact, even if the property shrinks severely, the savings in the hands of Earl Sutton Stewart can ensure that he can spend the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing.

However, if you can't enjoy a luxurious life, for Earl Sutton Stewart, it is no different from death.

In order to ensure that he can continue to live a happy life as before, he desperately needs a stable income.

"If you want to make money, there should be many ways, right?"

Winter City does not restrict business, and David even encourages his citizens to engage in commercial activities to a certain extent, so that he can collect taxes from it!

"It's not a conflict."

In addition to wanting to do some business, Emotional Sutton also plans to receive a salary from David, and he feels that he is absolutely capable of earning this salary.

David looked at Sutton Stewart, and he didn't know how to evaluate the Earl: At the beginning, Earl Stuart gave him the impression that he was a swinger brother who lived on his noble status.

After getting in touch with him for a while, he found that this person's ability is not bad, and the playboy is just his daily life.

Garrisoning White Rock City to defend against the army's attack from the temple, it can be seen that Earl Stewart's military ability is not bad, and he can even be called powerful. He is definitely a top-ranked commander in the Kingdom of Tilan.

It's a bit of a waste for such a talent to just spend every day drinking and drinking.

As for the connection between Earl Stewart and the Temple, he knew at the beginning that Earl Stewart did not trust the Temple, and he even had some precautions. From the fact that he was not directly made into a bomb, it can be known that he is more powerful than most Orchid nobles are much smarter.

Other people involved with the temple completely disappeared from this world, and even David could not be saved.

It's just that he underestimated the determination and ruthlessness of the temple. He didn't expect that the temple would blow up all the dignitaries and pawns of Tilan who had painstakingly won, divided, and absorbed.

This cannot be blamed on him. No normal person would have expected such a thing to happen. It was after this incident that David labeled the temple as 'abnormal'.

"What position do you want?"

"As the Duke arranges."

"That's it..."

David thought about it for a while, and found that there is really a position suitable for Sutton Stewart, because that position is quite special, and other people really can't sit still.

"How about the Commander of the Knights of Tiran?"

"The Knights of Tilan? You want me to lead the Knights of Tilan? Shall I be the head of the Knights?" Sutton Stewart thought that David would arrange a similar position for himself and do some work like a consultant.

Didn't expect the young Duke of Glamorgan to hand over the Knights of Tiran to himself? Is it so grand?

"No, the commander is someone else." David was talking about the commander, not the commander. There is still a difference, and he didn't pretend to be mysterious, and directly pointed at the side standing next to him. Sophia: "I am going to make Sophia the leader of the Tiran Knights."

"Oh~" Sutton immediately understood David's thoughts.

After all, the Tilan Knights are the trump card troops of the Tilan Kingdom. The reorganized Tilan Knights also absorbed some members of the Guards Knights. This team has a high degree of recognition and loyalty to the Tilan Royal Family.

Even with the miracle of resurrection in front, the Knights of Tyran are more in awe of the Duke of Glamorgan than loyal.

Under such circumstances, the knowledge of who will be the leader of the Knights of Tiran gave him a very headache: the leader selected from within the Knights, David could not trust; conflict.

After much deliberation, it is the best way for Princess Sophia to be directly named as the head of the Knights of Tilan. The one who is actually in charge of commanding is usually Earl Sutton Stewart. would resist it.

"Sounds like a good position." Earl Sutton Stewart was very happy that his income for the rest of his life should be guaranteed, but he did not forget the "more important purpose" of his coming here today.

After winking with David, the two walked a few steps away along the edge of the roof, and distanced themselves from the other people on the roof.

"Since Sophia is going to be the head of the Tiran Knights, shouldn't some things be finalized as soon as possible?"

Seeing David's face showing a bit of embarrassment, Sutton, who has always cited David the Duke of Glamorgan as his lifelong confidant, naturally knew what the Duke was struggling with, and immediately gave him a reassurance:

"I'm not urging you, and no one can urge you to do things you don't want to do now... I'm just reminding you, in Cold Winter City, whether to marry or not? How many to marry? It's all up to you!"
