MTL - Age of Empires From Scratch-Chapter 252 Tiran Shadowguard
Chapter 252 Tilan Shadow Guard
My name is Ulysses, and I am a guard knight of the Kingdom of Tiran's Guard Knights.
But this is only a superficial identity, my real identity is a member of Tilan Shadow Guard!
The Tilan Shadow Guard is an organization completely loyal to His Majesty the King and completely hidden in the shadows. It is the key to the stability and strength of the Tilan Kingdom!
It is not an accident that I can become the Shadow Guard of Tilan, because I have been raised and educated by the Shadow Guard of Tilan since I was sensible, and it is my destiny to become the Shadow Guard of Tilan.
And I, am very happy about it!
After years of study and training, I became an official shadow guard, and at the same time obtained the superficial identity of a guard knight, and my main job is to ensure that once any bad tendencies appear in the guard knights, His Majesty the King can first Know soon!
This task is very boring. I feel that my years of study and training have no chance to be used, but I still work hard to complete the tasks assigned to me by my superiors until I receive more important tasks!
On that day, I reported as usual: Everything is fine for the Guard Knight!
What awaits me this time is not a simple response as usual, but a new task.
Very good! The important task I have been waiting for for many years is finally here!
I was looking forward to it, and I couldn't wait to get the task content and related materials that were placed in the secret place in advance according to the code I had mastered, and then I couldn't wait to rush home.
During the period, I had to find a reason to reject the invitations from my colleagues in the Knights of the Guards and the warm greetings from my neighbors. After taking precautions, I entered the secret room and opened the information that had been enchanted and protected.
First, I looked at the mission content, and I found that this mission didn’t seem too difficult. I just used my identity as a guard knight to join the mission led by Earl Sutton Stewart.
Earl Sutton-Stewart, of course I know, this is quite a famous figure in the capital, and the beautiful women he has slept with are said to be lined up from the capital of Tilan to the coast of the Soduruma Empire. Envious guy.
However, as the younger brother of Her Majesty the Queen, as long as Earl Stewart does not do anything harmful to the Kingdom of Tilan and just sleeps with ordinary women, he will not have any trouble finding him.
My task is not to investigate the Earl, but to follow the mission to the city of Winter in the northern plains, and investigate all the information about the city of Winter in detail.
Winterfell, Lord Glamorgan... oh, the Earl now!
That was a super lucky guy, some even called him the luckiest man since the Kingdom of Tiran was born.
Now, this lucky Earl has won the favor of the goddess of luck again, and His Majesty the King is actually planning to marry the beautiful Princess Sophia to that guy.
Damn it! How enviable!
For a moment, I wish I was the Earl of Glamorgan! But I'd better look at other information first!
Sent to me along with the task requirements, there are also materials collected by the Kingdom and Tilan Shadowguard through various channels. These materials are for me to have a basic understanding and understanding of Winter City.
Having received relevant training, I know that these materials come to me with another task: verification!
Is the actual situation of Winter City as recorded in the data? How accurate is it? What's the difference? How big is the gap? This all requires me to investigate!
Looks like a very challenging task, I'm starting to look forward to it...
Joining the mission is not a problem for me. The superiors have already made corresponding preparations for me. I don’t need to be special in the mission. I just need to complete the work of the guard knight step by step. — Serve as a guard beside the princess or the count.
There is nothing to worry about along the way, but as we gradually approach the northern plains, the weather is getting colder and colder. Even if we wear thick shirts and cloaks, the knife-like cold wind still makes people uncomfortable... I also want a thermal accessory like the one Her Royal Highness wears...
We've arrived at the northern plains, what the **** is this place? The wind here is even more unbearable than before. Apart from being cut by knives, these winds seem to penetrate from all directions, even though I have covered all the gaps in the armor with cotton cloth It's plugged up, and I still feel the wind blowing into the armor...
Is this Snowfield Fort? It's really a crude fortress. The orcs can't even take down such a fortress. It seems that it doesn't deserve too much attention...
I was wrong! The inside of Snowfield Fort is actually so beautiful? so clean? I feel that the main road in Snowfield Castle is cleaner than Tilan's palace. Could it be that the Earl of Glamorgan had someone clean it up specially to welcome Her Royal Highness?
Those Winter Knights in heavy armor, and those huge metal puppets, the Winter Knights, a unit that was thought to be just a joke, it seems that it is not what everyone imagined, it is just a product of the country lord's own entertainment...
No matter what, the house in Snowfield Castle is very warm. It is said that it is because of the installation of heating. I feel as if I have come back to life again.
This vehicle called a truck is not very comfortable to sit on, but it runs really fast.
Looking at the other guard knights on the car, everyone was amazed at the speed of this car. Everyone felt that if soldiers could take this kind of vehicle when they went out to battle, they could reach the battlefield faster and easier, and they could stay behind. More strength to deal with the enemy.
I also agreed, and at the same time realized that under the premise of having such a vehicle, Winter City can control a wider land with fewer troops...
Arrived in Winter City, I finally saw the so-called Winter City.
Recall the records seen in the data: Rinwinter Town is just a small town under construction, with imperfect infrastructure and only a few wooden houses. Although Baron Glamorgan is building his own town, it has not been a few years. Wintertown is very difficult to really build.
Looking at the city with countless beautiful houses in front of me, I think the shadow guard who is in charge of investigating Winter City should be fired!
Could it be that the pile of beautiful houses in front of me were all built in this year? There are not so many craftsmen in Winter City, who can complete such a large project in such a short period of time!
Just as I was thinking about how to report my colleagues' dereliction of duty, the team had already arrived at the residence arranged for us by Winter City.
Rin Dong Hotel?
It sounds like a cliché name, but the environment here is very good. The Earl of Glamorgan in Winter City even arranged comfortable rooms for all the entourage including me.
Even an ordinary guard knight like me just lives in a double room with another guard knight instead of a large group of people crowded in a barracks—to be honest, if the barracks in Cold Winter City and the barracks in Snowfield Castle have the same In a similar environment, I think living in a barracks is very good hospitality, but I didn't expect to receive such good treatment.
The Earl of Glamorgan is truly a generous and friendly lord, and only such an excellent lord is worthy of marrying Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia!
After sitting on the comfortable bed for a while, it was the first time for me to sit on such a comfortable bed, as if I was about to sink into it.
After sitting quietly for a while, I got up and went to the 'bathroom'.
When the waiter introduced to me what these things are for and how to use them, I was still a little unacceptable when I knew that the toilet was actually in the room, but now...
Drive Mike out. This guy has been in the bathroom for a long time, and he doesn't know what's so good about it?
After solving some necessary problems, I observed quietly for a while, and the filth was really washed away by the water, and there was no smell coming out.
What an amazing facility, and the sink, where did the water come from?
There is also that glowing thing called 'electric light', which is really convenient. I wonder if I can buy some electric lights and put them in the secret room?
After a good night's rest, the comfortable bed made me a little reluctant to get up, but there is still a lot of work to do today, so I sat up with super willpower.
Looking at the bed next to him, this fellow Mike woke up too, lying there with his eyes wide open, showing no intention of getting up at all.
Tut! What an embarrassment to the knight guards!
Get up and take a shower. I have to say that the bathroom is really convenient. I can solve all kinds of problems without even going out the door.
And those filthy things were also cleaned up. I don't know where they were 'sent'? Is it underground? Won't it be full? Maybe someone specifically cleans these things up?
After finishing the equipment and grooming, I pulled Mike up from the bed, rode the same well-rested horse and followed closely behind the car carrying Her Highness the Princess and the Earl, and I seriously looked at everything in Winter City.
Winter City is really clean!
Even if I have come near the farmland where civilians live, I have not seen garbage, let alone roads full of mud. I found that even some inconspicuous alleys are paved with beautiful stone pavement.
This is unbelievable. Even if Winter City is just a small town, laying stone pavement in the whole town is not a small project, not to mention that the actual area of Winter City is not small.
Especially those main roads, wide and scary!
Keeping these in mind, continue to follow the team to 'visit' Cold Winter City.
Because I was right next to Her Royal Highness, I was lucky to hear a lot of information, including how many farmlands Winter City currently owns, and how much food these farmlands can produce every year.
What is the role of garbage and wastewater treatment plants? What happened to the water system? What is the power plant for?
These introductions have solved the doubts in my heart, and there seem to be more and more things to report!
I also learned that Winter City is so clean because of the request of the lord, Earl of Glamorgan. The lord even formed a security team to catch those residents who litter and defecate indiscriminately.
What an exaggeration, those guys who were caught were really unlucky to meet a lord with a cleanliness.
And after visiting the Winter Barracks, I realized that living in Iron Tree Castle is the worst!
