Age of Empires From Scratch

"I made a wrong judgment in commanding this time, and I disappointed you, my lord."

After Gareth Stanton reported the combat process in detail, he expressed his willingness to accept punishment.

David didn't say anything, but glanced at Optimus Prime next to him, and the former Autobot leader explained to Gareth.

At that time, the convoy transporting civilians was attacked by elves. Gareth Stanton commanded the Winter Knights to launch a surprise attack from the rear, and indeed wiped out the most threatening giant tree in the shortest time to ensure that the convoy did not suffer any losses—this is From the outbreak to the end of the battle, only a few unlucky ones running around were slightly injured, and no one died.

It can be said that although Gareth Stanton made some small mistakes in the battle command, there is no problem overall.

The most important thing is that Gareth Stanton's 'misjudgment' was based on the strong combat effectiveness of Blizzard's power armor in the previous battle. He was convinced that the knights under him had the ability to fight alone, so he Such a command was carried out.

When facing the orc army earlier, the Spartan heavy infantry regiment formed a relatively dense formation at first, but as the battle progressed, the soldiers became more and more scattered, because Tyran Fording found that only by dispersing can they truly Unleash the full firepower of soldiers in Blizzard power armor.

Not to mention the team gathering and cooperating, even if two or three soldiers get together, it is a waste.

It was based on this performance on the battlefield that Gareth would disperse all the knights in this operation, and almost every knight would attack a target unit individually.

So strictly speaking, it cannot be said that it was Gareth Stanton's command error. It is just that the current commander does not have a sufficient understanding of his own and enemy's combat power, and he needs to constantly explore and trial and error when commanding operations.

"Since this is the case... For the next period of time, you should not participate in any combat command work, and be responsible for training in the barracks for a period of time!"

On the surface, David seems to have punished Gareth Stanton, but in fact it is nothing at all.

Even if there is no such thing, under normal circumstances Gareth Stanton will have to rest for a period of time, and then even if Winter City wants to fight the elves, the commander will not be Gareth Stanton, but other person in charge.

Gareth Stanton wanted to say something more, but was stopped by David waving his hand.

Now that the lord has made a decision, Gareth Stanton, as the first personal guard knight to follow Lord Glamorgan, can only obey unconditionally.

However, he has already made up his mind in his heart that he must take advantage of this time to study how to better command Winter Knight.

It can perfectly display the full combat power of the knights who use advanced weapons such as blizzard power armor and piccolo assault rifles, without causing their subordinates to fall into crisis because they are too scattered.

After watching Gareth Stanton leave, David looked at Optimus Prime again.

The former leader of the Autobots, after prompting the Cybertronians to move collectively to Cold Winter Town, he concentrated on studying the Holy Light. This time, he took the initiative to find him, and Optimus Prime led some Autobots and Spartans. Heavy infantry, transporting the population stranded in Iron Tree Fort back to Winter City.

After completing the task and coming with Gareth Stanton to report the specific situation to David, Optimus Prime didn't seem to want to leave, which obviously meant that he had something to talk to himself.

"What's matter?"

"Yes." Optimus Prime did not go around in circles, and directly expressed his worries: "I thought that coming to Winter City would be a good choice for the Cybertronians, but the successive wars made me worried."

Winter City has not been very peaceful recently, and it is not just war that worries him; first the orcs, then the elves, Optimus Prime worries that one day the humans in Winter City, like the humans in his world, will not be able to accept Sebastian. Bertans.

"This is a completely different situation." David reassured Optimus Prime, telling him not to worry about it: "The root cause of these wars is the competition for living space and resources, and the Cybertronians are the people of Winter City. a member."

David felt in his heart that it was these wars that made these Cybertronians integrate into Winter City faster.

Because of the existence of external enemies, the internal people will not care about racial differences or differences in living customs.

What's more, the human residents of Winter City are much more acceptable than the earth humans in the Transformers world. In addition to the fact that the Brennia continent itself has more weird races, it is also because of the existence of mysterious power.

In a world with mysterious powers, the transformation ability of Transformers is not a special ability, because Druids know how to transform. From the perspective of body structure, the transformation of Druids is much more outrageous than that of Transformers.

"Winter City has enough survival resources."

Cold Winter City does not need to use force to expand to seize other people's resources. At present, there is no shortage of resources in Winter City.

Even if more people come, more wasteland will be reclaimed; at the same time, more people will invest in various industries, and even the fishing industry, which has not yet existed, may also be spawned due to market demand.

In addition, as the land under David's actual control continues to grow, all the barren land in the northern plains will become a piece of fertile soil. Even David doesn't know how many people such a large piece of fertile land can support.

"What if the orcs and elves want to get the various resources of Winter City?"

"As long as it is obtained through proper channels..."

When Optimus Prime heard what David said, he nodded slightly. Although he cared about the survival rights of all kinds of life, he did not support without brains. It was obvious that the opponent attacked first and asked David not to fight back.

As for the legitimate way David said, Optimus Prime can guess: it is nothing more than obtaining the resources of Winter City through trade; or simply becoming a resident of Winter City, just like the Cybertronians.

He didn't think there was any problem with this, and even felt that if David could become the ruler of this land, it might be the luck of all intelligent races on this continent.

David will not enslave them, but will establish a stable order to ensure that people living in his territory can obtain due rewards through labor, and use these rewards in exchange for various living resources they need.

Although there are classes in Winter City, Optimus Prime did not see oppression here. Even if the security forces were a little rough when enforcing the law, that was acceptable.

Afterwards, Optimus Prime chatted with David about the Holy Light.

David found that Optimus Prime has a thorough understanding of the Holy Light, and he is not far from truly mastering the Holy Light.

Just thinking about this, David found a beam of light descending from the head of Optimus Prime who was in deep thought, and the golden light shrouded the metal giant in it.

After a while, the holy light disappeared, and Optimus Prime was still recalling the wonderful feeling just now.

"how do you feel?"

"It's better than ever." While Optimus Prime was speaking, his body suddenly began to deform, and soon he changed his appearance under David's gaze.

The red body and blue legs are very different from the previous red and blue mixed shape, but David recognized that this is Optimus Prime's classic shape.

"You are..."

"This is what I looked like when I was on Cybertron." Optimus Prime also looked at himself: "The fire in my body has returned to its peak state, and it has even become stronger."

Perhaps in order to adapt to the peak state of Tinder, Optimus Prime's body also 'recovered' to its peak appearance.

"I think you look more handsome this way."

"I think so."

Optimus Prime searched for a more suitable model from his own records, and then transformed into a red flat-top truck under David's gaze.

This wasn't over yet, after Optimus Prime transformed, space teleportation fluctuations suddenly appeared not far behind, and then a carriage with an obvious Autobot logo appeared behind the red truck, and it was connected to the truck head.

Afterwards, the head of the truck transformed by Optimus Prime was separated from the carriage again, but this time the carriage did not disappear, it still stopped there, and Optimus Prime transformed back into a human form.

Looking back at the carriage, Optimus Prime said with emotion: "I thought there would be no chance to summon this old man again!"

"..."

David, who was staring at the excitement the whole time, spread his hands, and Optimus Prime explained to David.

Optimus Prime has always had a carriage, and this carriage is strictly speaking his arsenal, but Optimus Prime’s spark was very weak before, and there was no way to summon the carriage from the ‘different space’.

In the original movie story, Optimus Prime "re-summoned" out of the car after receiving the tinder gifted by Skyfire and the leadership matrix, which made the tinder stronger again, and stored the plug-in accessories provided by Skyfire.

Now there is no kindling provided by Tianhuo, so he didn't call back to his car again until he realized that the energy of the holy light kindling had returned to its peak.

"So that's how it is."

After listening to Optimus Prime's explanation, David looked at the compartment again, thinking that it was only used to store weapons. Isn't such a large compartment too wasteful?

"Haven't you considered upgrading the carriage?"

"How to upgrade?"

"Let the car also have the ability to transform and fit with you." David thought of the Renlai who looked almost the same as Optimus Prime.

Renlai who can fit into the car is called Super Renlai, so Optimus Prime who can fit into the car can also be called Super Optimus Prime!

After hearing David's suggestion, Optimus Prime thought seriously for a few seconds: "It's not technically impossible."

With the Optimus Prime who has obtained the Holy Light, the fire seed has not only become stronger, but will continue to grow stronger. There is no need to worry about not being able to recover after consuming a lot of energy. He has enough energy to drive a larger body.

"You can try to study it."
