Chapter 84

Along the way, Harlan also briefly introduced the situation of heimu stronghold to Nord. Heimu stronghold is worthy of being the largest stronghold nearby. When the population was at its peak, it could reach more than 500 people. Even now, there are at least 300 or 400 people.

The nearby mountain stronghold basically has no strength to compete with them. The name of heimu stronghold comes from a special tree on the mountain, which is called black iron wood by the mountain people. This tree presents a dark color, and its texture is very hard and feels very heavy. It is especially suitable for making weapons, especially in the mountain area without iron, The spear made of black iron wood is almost invincible.

However, this strategic resource is completely monopolized by heimu stronghold and rarely circulated in other strongholds. Harun's walking stick is made of black iron wood, which was captured in the conflict between Yuanshan stronghold and heimu stronghold, but it is made of a broken heimu spear. Even a complete heimu spear is extremely precious to Harun and will not be easily made into a walking stick.

Relying on the sharpness of the black spear, the conflict between the black spear stronghold and other mountain strongholds is almost unfavourable. The black spear is also particularly useful for hunting, so the situation of the black spear stronghold is far better than that of other mountain strongholds. This is also the reason why there are so many people in the black spear stronghold.

With Harlan's narration, Nord also has some simple understanding of heimu stronghold. It has to be said that heimu stronghold is really difficult. Even if Nord wins heimu stronghold, he will suffer heavy losses with only 20 soldiers of Nord's guard.

According to Nord's estimation, the number of people who can fight in heimu stronghold is about 100. Although there are nearly 400 people in heimu stronghold, not everyone is suitable for fighting. Except women, children and the elderly, the proportion of one quarter is very high.

Considering the poor living environment of the mountain people, each mountain people has some fighting experience more or less. If they are in the plain area, there will be fewer people who can fight, and it's good to be able to reach one tenth. This is one of the reasons why the Ximan kingdom can't beat the Principality of Bethel in the previous war.

Considering these factors, Nord wants to use the power of the remote stronghold to give himself a strong momentum. In fact, Nord does not attach great importance to the combat effectiveness of these mountain people. If it is not a sneak attack, now Nord's guard can easily face the mountain people of 100 people.

Of course, this means that both sides fight in formation. There is still a big gap between the mountain people and Nord's Guard soldiers in terms of equipment and personal strength, but this is obviously not the case. If there is no accident, this battle will be a tough battle, so Nord needs the help of yuanshanzhai.

Soon, led by Harlan, Nord came to an open space in the far mountain stronghold. At this time, more than a dozen people stood scattered in the open space, but Nord didn't look like the people in the far mountain stronghold.

Because they don't have linen clothes on them, because Nord found that although not all of them, many mountain people in Yuanshan stronghold have changed into linen clothes, so more than a dozen people don't have any linen clothes, which is very strange in Yuanshan stronghold.

Sure enough, Harlan soon introduced their identities to Nord. As Nord expected, they were all from other small cottages nearby. Harlan invited them this time, and this is what Harlan told Nord.

Hearing that Nord was the benefactor who discovered yam and helped them solve the food problem, they expressed their gratitude to Nord and invited Nord to visit their cottage.

The people of these small mountain strongholds are still a little surprised when they come to Yuanshan stronghold this time. It's not because Harun invited them. As Harun said before when he sent someone to invite them, they came to Yuanshan stronghold this time to solve the problem of heimu stronghold, and this is not the first time, so they won't be surprised by it.

What really surprised them was the changes in Yuanshan stronghold. Both energy and dress were different from the past. In the past, everyone was a mountain people who didn't have enough clothes and food. Now they have solved the food problem, but why Yuanshan stronghold is better than us. Slowly, they also know the reasons for these changes, so they invited Nord one after another.

Nord also knew the reason why they invited him, so he replied to their invitation, which meant that he would go when he had the opportunity. At this time, Nord Yu Guang saw Harlan looking at him, with an unpredictable smile in his eyes, as if waiting for Nord's performance.

Nord sighed and looked helpless. He looked down and said to the people of these small cottages:

"Half a month ago, my people were attacked by heimu stronghold, but they didn't get a bargain. They were defeated by Lehman, my pro guard captain. Even the commander of heimu stronghold fled in confusion."

Speaking of this, Nord paused, introduced the mighty Lehman to them, looked at Lehman's strong arms, strong lock armor and a pair of calm and deep eyes, which made them believe that the warrior in front of them really had the strength to defeat the leader of heimu stronghold.

In particular, seeing the same fully armed guard soldiers behind Lehman, with high fighting spirit and exposed murderous spirit, these small Shanzhai people also seem to sigh that it is worthy of the outside world to come to the elite. Their eyes and hearts seem to have made up their mind.

Nord looked at their performance, so he struck while the iron was hot and put forward his purpose.

"I entered the mountain this time to solve the problem of heimu stronghold, otherwise my future transactions with mountain people will be affected, but after I just heard Harlan's introduction to heimu stronghold, I think I need some help. It's not enough to rely on my guard."

With that, Nord's eyes stared at them tightly to get their response. Seeing that there was no too much discussion between them, Nord agreed to lend a helping hand to Nord.

"Lord Nord, don't worry. I'll go back to the stronghold and bring some people to help you."

"Yes, Lord Nord, we've long wanted to settle accounts with heimu stronghold. We just have a chance this time. We won't miss it."

"Lord Nord, we are not vegetarian. We must give a good-looking one to heimu stronghold this time."

……

Nord hit it off with them immediately. In fact, when the two sides first met, they had made up their minds. However, although they knew something clearly, they would not break it. Therefore, Nord suddenly found that he had become mature and could speak some high sounding polite words. Nord in his previous life hated this way of speaking very much, Nord found it very hypocritical.

In fact, these people are not just helping Nord. They have waited for this opportunity for a long time. Now Nord provides them with an opportunity, and they agree without hesitation. This is also due to the confidence brought by Nord's guard. Before, they were scattered. With Nord's guard, they can become invincible spears.
