Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 582
[Chapter 579 Submitting Application on the Spot]
David sipped his tea, looked at the several sluggish people in front of him, and quietly waited for them to complete the downtime restart procedure.
After chatting for most of the night, the four people asked all the questions they could think of.
Including who is David? Where is he from?
Who is Kara? If she is not from the same place as David, where is she from? Why did she come to Earth with David?
Who is Hu Huishan?
What is the purpose of their coming to Earth? Why are they willing to help the earthlings fight monsters?
After asking these basic questions, the two scientists also mixed in a variety of strange questions, such as which galaxy is David’s so-called Brunnia planet located in? How far is it from the earth? What kind of planet is it?
David answered everything he could answer. As for how far Brunnia is from the earth, he couldn’t answer. He could only say that he came here using a similar space teleportation technology. He couldn’t answer the specific distance and where Brunnia is located from the perspective of the earth.
David’s answer could not satisfy everyone, and some words made Pantecost, the marshal of the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force, feel embarrassed.
Because David said that he was a king, he came to Earth mainly to accompany Hu Huishan and Kara to relax and have a vacation. As for fighting monsters, it was just an entertainment activity for them.
“…”
When Pantecost and Hansen heard this, their faces looked a little ugly. They couldn’t imagine how they could relax when facing such monsters?
“When you can roll these big guys into balls with your bare hands, of course you will be relaxed.”
“…”
The truth is often not very pleasant to hear and is particularly hurtful. Although Pantecost and Hansen were skeptical of David’s words, the other party did not seem to be prepared to give them another answer.
As for how David proved that what he said was true, David had made it clear that he was willing to take everyone to visit Winter City.
Hearing this, although several people still had many questions, they had already believed that David and his friends were aliens.
David showed many abilities that earthlings could not have, in addition to flying, he also controlled objects and controlled energy (holy light, arcane, etc.). At the same time, he showed a little bit of his true physical fitness-he casually rolled a hard metal product next to him into a ball.
These performances perfectly proved that he was not an earthling.
In addition to David’s obvious goodwill, Pantecost was not stupid enough to shout and kill when he heard that the other party was an alien.
He was more worried about another thing now. David had said before that the monster was actually a biological weapon, and there was another group of alien intelligent life behind it. The crisis facing the earth was much greater than humans thought.
In this case, it was even more impossible for him to offend another alien force.
Sighing, Pantecost felt that it was too difficult for him to be a marshal. What kind of things did he encounter? This job was really not for humans.
“Is there anything else you want to ask?”
Several people looked at each other, and finally Pantecost asked the last question he could think of at the moment: “Why do you suddenly tell us these things?”
David, Kara and Hu Huishan had hidden it very well before. If they didn’t take the initiative to tell this, Pantecost would never know the real situation of them.
In a while, Pantecost will launch an attack on the crossing port to completely “end” the threat of the monster.
If successful, then there will be no need for the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force to continue to exist, and it is likely that each of them will find a new way out.
If he failed, then it would not be his turn to worry about the follow-up.
David revealed his identity at this time. Did he not think highly of his battle plan?
Thinking of the race called pioneers that the other party had briefly introduced before, it seemed that this was the reason. But Pantecost always felt that there were other reasons.
“Your body is about to collapse.” David drank the last sip of tea and put the cup aside: “If it’s later, you may be dead.”
Pantecost remained silent. He did not expect to hear such an answer.
“Is it important for me to be alive?”
“You are an excellent commander and a talent, and my Winter Kingdom is in a period of rapid development and needs more talents.”
Pantecost was dumbfounded. Even Hansen and the two scientists did not expect that this would be the reason for David to take the initiative to reveal his identity.
What is this? Because he is too good, he attracted His Majesty the King to come out and recruit him personally? If it were in ancient times, this would be a good story, right?
Regardless of whether the other party is sincere or not? How much exaggeration is there in this? Pantecost felt a little proud in his heart: I have not been busy for half my life in vain. Even the alien leader was attracted by me.
“I am honored to be appreciated by you, but as you said, my body…”
“It’s just nuclear radiation. It’s not a difficult problem to solve for Winter City.”
“…”
Pantecost’s heart beat a few times. He was still in his prime, and it was time for him to do something earth-shaking. Even if we don’t talk about these, living things have the instinct to survive. Without sufficient reasons, no one would be willing to give up their lives.
He was the same!
Moreover, Hansen, as an old comrade, also hoped that Pantecost could continue to live, so before Pantecost spoke, Hansen was already worried about his old comrade.
“Are you still hesitating? Agree to it!”
“But…” Pantecost thought more. He was worried that he would join another civilized force and would he be asked to deal with his own planet in the future?
“If you are worried that the Kingdom of Winter will take action against the earth in the future, you can rest assured.” David didn’t hide it just now, but these people should not have noticed: “Strictly speaking, Brunnia is not in the same universe as this earth.”
After the space transmission, the parallel universe came again.
“For Brunnia, there are many ownerless planets that can be developed, and there is no need to entangle a planet that has been almost destroyed by humans.”
“…”
As I said, the truth is sometimes particularly hurtful.
As an earthling, it sounds really uncomfortable to be disliked by others for their hometown.
These people are still rational people. They know in their hearts that what the other party said is true. The earth has indeed been harmed by humans. They can’t refute David’s words at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Pantecost turned everyone’s attention and eased the awkward atmosphere: “I need to think about it for a few days, and there are more important things to deal with right now… Just like you said, there is a race called Pioneers behind the monsters. My plan…”
“This does not affect the next battle plan. Blowing up the crossing port can at least ensure that the earth will not continue to be attacked by monsters for a period of time in the future.” It
takes time for the pioneers to rebuild the crossing port, and if there is no help from insiders, it will take several times more time than the original ten years to reposition the earth.
As for the precious time gained by Pantecost and others, is it completely wasted? Or actively preparing for war? It depends on what the humans in this world do?
David gave the people in front of him another choice: join Winter City. Winter City will provide technology, equipment, supplies and even troops to help the earth deal with the pioneers.
The earth is safe and sound, humans are not threatened, and even a larger-scale interstellar war can be avoided. No matter from which aspect, the earth humans in this world will win without doing anything.
Only people like Pantecost will silently make contributions in places unknown to humans.
Most people may think, “Why?”, but people like Pantecost are just “heroes” with a spirit of sacrifice. They think that if they can use their lives and efforts to exchange for the earth from being invaded by alien monsters, it is a good choice.
“What can Winter City and you get?”
“The pioneer’s biological and space technology, especially biotechnology.” Winter City can get benefits and can better convince these people.
The pioneer’s biotechnology is indeed good, so huge monsters can be created at will, and various elements can be added to them at will (the various toxins used to pollute the environment in the monster’s body are added during manufacturing, not to mention the targeted addition of electromagnetic pulses, strong acids and other weapons).
When David mentioned these two technologies, the two scientists applied to join Winter City on the spot.
David certainly welcomes them. The more scientists the better. We cannot ignore the value of ordinary scientists just because we have Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne. Besides, these two are the top talents in their respective fields in this world.
Then he invited Hansen.
“Ah? There’s also a share for me?”
“If possible, I hope to pack up the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force and take it back, but it’s a bit difficult.”
“…” Pantecost still didn’t give an answer immediately, saying that he would consider it.
However, he was no longer worried about the next battle with the monsters and the crossing.
David said that even without the Jaeger mecha, those monsters would not threaten him and Kara. As for the crossing on the seabed, he also had a way to close it.
He could wait for a few days to see what David would do before making a decision.
As for whether his body could hold up until then? He felt that his body was not that bad, and since David had already expressed his attitude to recruit him, he would not watch him die before he gave an answer, right?
David really couldn’t watch the commander he was about to capture die in such a confused manner. It can be said that Marshal Pentecost’s judgment was very accurate.
As for what means to use?
After letting Newton perform a synesthesia without side effects, deliberately exposing the weaknesses of human mechas and attracting two targeted monsters, the Tailed Rat and the Turtle, David and Kara did not drive the Jaeger mecha, but changed into armor (battle suits) and flew out of the base to prepare to fight the two monsters.
