Lord of Riding and Slashing

The first time they met the tiger, the eight spearmen following the caravan became tense in an instant. They subconsciously formed a formation and stood in front of the caravan, just like they trained every day in the barracks. It's like forming an formation to meet the enemy on the battlefield.

These eight spearmen stood shoulder to shoulder, pointing their spears at the tiger twenty meters away, keeping their postures motionless, and they were indeed a little scared.

But these spearmen knew that running away would not solve the problem. Leaving their backs to the enemy on the battlefield was the stupidest choice, and it was the same when facing tigers. Humans can’t run as fast as tigers, and running away is the only way to die.

I don't know why when the eight of them stood together, the fear in their hearts subsided a lot, just like the battle a few days ago, as long as they hugged each other, they were safe. No one can penetrate their line of defense. This is not only what Lord Marco has always emphasized to them in the barracks, but also what they have personally experienced on the battlefield.

Even so, they did not dare to take a step forward. At this time, provoking the tiger is definitely an act of death. It is already a very brave act to stand still. Before these soldiers stepped forward, the caravan buddies and porters It's all in a mess. If they hadn't been in a stalemate with the tiger, it is estimated that the entire caravan would have been defeated by a tiger.

Seeing soldiers protecting them, Jody stabilized the situation in time. They stood not far behind the spearman, looking at the eight men and one tiger not far away, they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear An accident broke the quiet scene.

This tense situation lasted for more than an hour, until the tiger felt that the gain was not worth the loss, so he turned and left. When the tiger disappeared from people's sight, the eight spearmen almost fell to the ground , the hands holding the spear trembled slightly.

They feel more tired than the training queue in the barracks. During normal training, they stand for two hours at a time, and they don't feel so tired. Just over an hour of stalemate with the tiger here makes them physically and mentally exhausted. Not long after the winter, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of every soldier. They may never forget what happened today.

Originally, the caravan started late this time, and they were delayed on the road for so long. By the time they reached Cindy's stronghold, it was already midnight. The exhausted caravan and soldiers couldn't go on, so they had to Stop here for a night's rest.

Even if there was a bright bonfire in the camp, it could not dispel the fear in everyone's hearts. Just as everyone spent this difficult night in a half-dream and half-awake, the mental state of the rest of the caravan was not as good as that of the soldiers who were on the night watch. , until they safely arrived at Nanshanzhai, they really felt relieved.

Listening to what Jody and several spearmen said, Nord has already figured out the whole thing. Although it was a bit thrilling, fortunately there were no real casualties. This can be regarded as a wake-up call for Nord. The forest is not so easy to conquer, not to mention the mountain people in the cottage, the environment of the Ammon Mountains and the beasts walking around are enough for Nord to drink a pot. It is not so easy to conquer this ancient mountain range.

Looking at the tired eyes of the soldiers, Nord immediately arranged for them to rest. After putting all the goods into the market in Nanshanzhai, these guys couldn't hold on any longer. Nord sighed. It is urgent for Lehman's men to mobilize some crossbowmen.

Perhaps only bows and crossbows can make them feel at ease. The unexpected appearance of a tiger will make the entire caravan panic and panic. If things go on like this, it will definitely delay the progress of the entire plan. Why does Nord have to work so hard to build mountain roads.

To be honest, most of Nord’s income is now invested in the construction of mountain roads. More than half of the construction teams in Tammy Town are building roads in the mountains. Let’s not talk about the materials needed for road construction. These construction workers The salary is a lot of expenses, not to mention that this is just a road from Tammy Town to Nanshanzhai.

After a while, when the roads of these cottages start construction at the same time, it will probably be a different scene. Nord simply estimated that there are at least three mountain roads that need to be built at the same time. Because of one road, it is impossible for Nord to build a road for each cottage, so we can only use one road to connect as many cottages as possible.

And it is estimated that there will be a lot of mountain people building roads, because there are almost no other jobs in the village. Except for the hunter team that Nord will soon establish, the mountain people want to make money. Apart from taking risks in the mountains and forests to find supplies, the only way is to join Nord. Road repair team.

Going out of Songjia Village, which is currently unwilling to cooperate, the population of the other villages combined is at least 1,200 people, which means that there should be more than 300 mountain people who joined the road construction. Salary is a big expense.

Nord's entire caravan's profit is probably not enough to fill this big hole. This is only a small part of the outer edge of the Amon Mountains, like the tip of the iceberg. Nord can see it from the map Harlan sent yesterday. , Hundreds of years ago, there were not many cottages in the Amon Mountains, because the map was relatively simple. Nord roughly counted it, and there were less than a hundred cottages drawn on the map.

They are all distributed in the periphery. The depths of the Amon Mountains are really inaccessible, but Nord is not sure. Hundreds of years ago, whether the number of cottages has increased or decreased. Nord used Harlan's simple Compare the map with the one on the system, although the fog of war on the system map has not yet been unraveled.

After a rough comparison, within 500 kilometers to the north of the Southern Territory 3, in addition to these few cottages that have dealt with Nord, there should be six or seven cottages that have not been discovered waiting for Nord to develop. Don't worry, wait until the two wait-and-see cottages, Boka Village and Toke Village, are settled before looking for other cottages.

As for Songjiazhai, it depends on their performance. Seeing that the Nanshanzhai market is packed to the brim, Nuo De has confidence in his heart, because now the guys in the caravan have gone to rest, and there is no one in the market. Presiding over the overall situation, Nord glanced at Marco and Old Mole beside him, and he had a candidate in his mind.

When Nord looked at him, Marco felt a little bit in his heart, especially when Nord smiled from him, Marco had a bad feeling, Marco responded to Nord with a very stiff smile, his face was very Unnatural, as if he knew what was going to happen next.

"Marco, I asked Jody to be in charge of the Nanshanzhai market in the future. You don't have to worry about staying in the market to work in the future, but not today. They came from a long distance, and they were frightened on the way. They are resting now, so Today’s bazaar is still in charge of you.”

"It's Lord Nord."

Marco's voice was weak, and his face became like a bitter melon, his eyes stared at the ground blankly, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
