Chapter 397： Winter City's Military Strength

  Chapter 397 The military power of Winter City

  Snowflakes are fluttering, and the north wind is blowing.

   In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

  But for the northern plains, the new year still starts with cold, stormy and snowy weather. However, the people living in Winter City will not be affected by the cold wind and snow.

  Stay in a heated house and don't worry about falling asleep in the harsh environment.

   The people of Winter City who don’t have to worry about the living environment and have enough food even regard snow shoveling and snow removal as a kind of entertainment, and there are laughter and laughter everywhere in Winter City from time to time.

  Under such an atmosphere, the development speed of Winter City can be imagined!

"The industrial area is growing and growing, and several new factories have been built this month." Wetherby Swan will report to David every once in a while about the situation in Winter City, and today is the time for routine reports Days: "The production of clocks and watches, pens and inks, compasses and rulers, school uniforms..."

   "Are you targeting Winter Academy?"

"Yes."

   All the learning tools used by the students of Winter Academy are distributed by the school.

  In the past, the number of students was still small, so Ethan could ask Ethan to go back to his own world to buy these things, even if it was specially ordered by craftsmen in Winter City, it was not too much trouble.

  But since the population of Winter City has exploded, the number of new students entering this year has also become particularly large.

  Rinwinter Academy not only recruited many new teachers, but also ordered a large number of various school supplies—this move also brought business opportunities to those nobles with sufficient capital.

Some nobles have confirmed that the Winter Academy will continue to operate, which means that the Winter Academy will not fail. With the increasing population, new students will enroll every year, and ink, notebooks and the like are all consumables. Winter Academy will purchase these items for a long time

  So the nobles wanted to set up workshops to monopolize this stable business—with the establishment of industrial zones, workshops became factories.

  In addition to the continuous increase of factories in the industrial zone, more jobs are provided for the residents of the city: because of the large number of vacancies, some orcs began to enter the factories to work.

  With the completion of the east-west road, the civilian transportation industry has also begun to rise—transporting all kinds of rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, and various clothes from Winter City to Snowfield Fort and Port Tiran for sale.

   It also stimulated the prosperity of the civilian vehicle production industry.

   What is facing David now is not stagnation of economic development or insufficient resources, but insufficient labor force.

  The current 100,000 people in Winter City seem to be quite a lot, and it has increased dramatically compared to the small population at the beginning, but it was only when the large-scale development started that it was discovered that 100,000 people are nothing at all.

  This is still the situation where the Cybertronians help with the construction, and there are many "advanced" machines in Winter City.

  If the development was purely based on manpower, the 100,000 people might not even have built Winter City yet!

   "What about the military industry?"

   "The production lines for the new light cavalry armor, heavy cavalry and super heavy cavalry systems have been established, and the first batch of equipment is expected to be produced before the weather gets warmer."

   Light cavalry armor, heavy cavalry system and super heavy cavalry will be mass-produced soon.

   Among them, the heavy cavalry system has three attitudes: motorcycle, flying skateboard and heavy armor, while the super heavy cavalry currently only produces two types of armed off-road vehicles/tank deformation large armor.

  Whether other vehicles will be produced in the future depends on whether there is any relevant demand in the future.

  Ghost drones also have a separate production line, but they will not be mass-produced at present, but only in small quantities. Depending on the actual usage, it will be decided whether to distribute them on a large scale or use them in small quantities as specific equipment.

   Warframes are about to start production, and weapons must of course follow suit.

  The new flute multifunctional rifle has been finalized, and after testing, it is very in line with the needs of the Tiran Knights.

  This flute multifunctional rifle has semi-automatic and fully automatic modes, which can be used for ultra-long-distance precise shooting. In addition to being able to fire live ammunition, it can also switch to energy bomb launch mode.

  In addition to the flute multifunctional rifle, the new mechanical bow has also been finalized.

This mechanical bow is as powerful as a flute rifle, and it is more friendly to rangers who have mastered arcane energy, because this mechanical bow has a high affinity for energy and has a certain amplification and strengthening effect. It is an enchanted equipment.

   The disadvantages are that the production cost is much higher than that of the flute rifle due to the troublesome production and special materials (some materials need to be collected in the dungeon).

  But David doesn't care. Although Aidan and himself don't go to the dungeon very often, there are so many people in Winter City, and there are always people who need to go to the dungeon.

  For example, Gwen and the others still go inside to exercise from time to time, and Mark also often goes into the dungeon to improve his strength recently, and get some materials out by the way.

  Even if the dungeon still restricts the number of people entering, as long as people keep entering, there will only be more and more materials with 'hell power'.

   Those materials still take up space, so wouldn’t it be better to use them to make equipment to improve the strength of your subordinates?

   "In this way, the Tiran Knights will be able to form a combat force before summer."

  David set the time for his succession in autumn, and in the summer, the Knights of Tiran's basic combat strength met his expectations.

   Continued to listen to Wetherby's report for a while, and then listened to Elizabeth's report.

  Elizabeth is now the head of the Police Department of the Duchy of Winter, responsible for internal security-related affairs across the country, and she has done a good job so far.

  Under her management, there have been no particularly bad cases in Winter City so far, and the most serious is fighting.

   Don’t worry about law and order, and finally asked the military.

  After a period of reorganization, the Winter Knights still have not reached the standard of one hundred people.

According to the original standard, one hundred people can be filled, but Gareth and Floyd have raised the requirements of the Winter Knights. In the future, those who cannot master the Holy Light and become a Paladin will not be recruited into the Cold Knight. The Winter Knights.

   So far, less than one-third of the Knights of Winter have mastered the Holy Light and become paladins, but everyone is making good progress. At this pace, the transformation of all members into paladins is not far away.

   Speaking of which, Gareth also complained that Sylvanas had poached Jack Krause, the only ranger of the Winter Knights.

The Knights of Tiran, reorganized by Sylvanas, currently has 450 members, and this number will not change in the short term. The next step is that there will be reductions due to the inability to meet Sylvanas' requirements. Or because of their outstanding performance, they were expanded to fill up to 500 people, that would depend on the actual performance of the Tiran Knights.

   "The reorganized Winter Army has reached 2,000 people."

   "How come the number has increased?"

   "A new batch of recruits has been recruited from the civilians of Winter City."

  The Winter Legion will be the largest standing corps in the future, and they will also take over most of the standing tasks such as stationing, patrolling, and standing guard.

  Adding the 800 Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment, and the Cybertronians who are almost all warriors, this is the current standing military force of Cold Winter City.

  With such military strength, it should be very easy to sweep the Brennia continent.

   What's more, David still has dozens of Kryptonians in his hands who can be dispatched and commanded. He hasn't decided whether to form the Kryptonians alone into a special force, or let General Zod command the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment?

  After listening to the routine report, David was about to call Zod to the office and ask him what he meant when Clarice and Kara came over suddenly.

"what happened?"

   "Kara found some clues about the orc's hometown."

"oh?"

  At the beginning, David sent Rumlow and Logan to the east sea to search for the orcs' hometown of Asegos Island, but they found nothing.

  Follow-up, he originally wanted the Cybertronians to take a look at the sea, but Kara and Clarice, who have been relatively free recently, took over the job and flew to the east sea in a Quinjet fighter.

  After Kara found some clues, the two directly used the flashing teleportation ability to return to Cold Winter City, and then ran directly to report to David.

   "There are technological products disguised as reefs on the seabed?"

"Um!"

  Kara said that she found more than one place, and saw several technological creations with the same structure in a certain area. According to her observation, this thing seems to be a kind of interface for connecting large facilities.

"oh?"

  David immediately thought of a possibility: The so-called Asegos Island is actually a large ship disguised as an island? or something like that?

   This is really not difficult to guess, especially on the premise of knowing that orcs are a race specially 'thrown' out by the gods, and there are so many examples of humans and dark elves before.

   "Are there other facilities below the interface?"

"could not find it."

  David nodded to show that he understood, and now he began to think about another question: If this island is really some kind of large-scale facility, where will it go after completing the task of launching a new race?

   Fly off this planet? Or is it parked somewhere else?

   If you fly away from this planet, you don't have to think about it; but if you don't leave, you park in another place, considering the water depth and other issues, does it mean that there is another continent to the east or farther away?

  David didn't know if his guess was right. If he happened to be right, that continent should have a closer connection with the gods in the 'heaven'.

   "Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome, it's just a little favor." Kara thinks that what she has done is not worth mentioning. After living in Winter City for a while, she has fallen in love with this place. Goodness can last for a long time, and she is willing to contribute to this: "Is there any troublesome matter that needs to be solved?"

"temporarily unavailable."

  David would like to ask Kara how her time has been going by the way. Have you found a job you want?

   But Liadrin was waiting outside, so David had no choice but to end the conversation and let Liadrin come in to report on the elves in the Iron Tree Forest.
