Chapter 96

A group of people boarded the southern boundary mountain with excitement. After hearing Lord Nord's reassurance, these mountain people were finally relieved. Moreover, they could feel Nord's meticulous care for them all the way.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Nord treats them sincerely. Why can't the mountain people feel it? Especially compared with the scar face of the former commander, it's a world away. The mountain people can feel who is really good to them.

Therefore, after receiving Nord's guarantee, the mountain people dispelled their concerns and decided to follow Lord Nord in the future. At least these two days of competition made them very happy and looked forward to their future life.

Soon, Nord took the mountain people to the flat land in front of the south boundary mountain. Nord planned to let them clean up the bushes on the open space today, and then told Marco to hurry back to Tami village.

The main task is to report peace to Tami village, and then escort Abbot housekeeper to come here and bring some tools. Because Nord is really a little weak, he didn't think it would be so troublesome to manage these mountain people, so he had to go back and ask for help and bring the West Tathagata Buddha... Oh, no, invite Abbot housekeeper to sit in town.

When Nord entered the mountain, the previous work of Abel housekeeper was coming to an end. The houses of this group of new villagers had been basically built, and these villagers gradually learned the process. Abel housekeeper did not need to stare there every day.

Moreover, the tools of these villagers in Nanshan stronghold are too simple. Nord saw that they were still using stone axes to cut trees before. It felt like the Neolithic age. According to their efficiency, it was only a question whether the houses in Nanshan stronghold could be built after the whole winter. Therefore, Nord still needed tools from Tami village, especially after Hansen's blacksmith shop opened, Some apprentices can now make some simple tools, but the quality is still qualified, but they can barely use them. Anyway, they are at least much better than the stone axe in Nan Mountain stronghold.

So Marco's trip was imperative. He hurriedly said goodbye to Nord and took only ten Guard soldiers. It seemed that he couldn't wait to share the fruits of victory with the villagers.

At this time, Lehman told Nord mountain people that they had made a new discovery. It turned out that when they were cleaning shrubs, they found some deep buried wooden piles. Nord walked in and saw that this should be the residue of some kind of building, because it was obvious that this was not the root of a tree growing in the soil.

Instead, it's like a wooden stake driven into the ground. It seems that there was a mountain stronghold on the flat before, but it was abandoned or destroyed later. Nord thinks Harlan must know about it. When Abbot comes, Nord plans to go to the far mountain stronghold again and meet the wise old man.

But let's settle down these mountain people first. Nord told them to ignore these things and continue to clean up these bushes. However, Nord still secretly observed Wagner. When he came to the open space, there was no abnormal reaction on his face, but he didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to know, but Nord didn't press him, Instead of asking Wagner, Nord wanted to ask Harlan face to face.

With the efforts of all the people, the bushes on the flat land were soon cleaned up, mainly because there were many people and great strength. Four or five hundred people cleaned up at the same time. In addition, there were no tall trees on the flat land, so the mountain people cleaned up here in only one day.

The terrain of this flat land is really superior. I didn't expect that there is such a flat land on the hillside. After removing the shrubs, the whole land can be seen at a glance. When building houses, there is no need to consider the terrain, just like building on the flat land.

Moreover, the tall trees around block the cold wind from outside. If you light a bonfire, the mountain people can stick to it these days when there are no houses. They don't have to worry about getting sick because of the cold weather.

At night, the mountain people gathered around the campfire according to their teams. Some mountain people also learned from yesterday's trial, looked for their companions to break their wrists, watched them play happily, and temporarily forgot the current difficult conditions and the sadness of leaving their hometown.

Next, within two days of Abbot's arrival, Nord took people to do some preliminary preparations, such as planning two cross roads and the big square in the center of the stronghold. Nord asked them to tamp the foundation first. In short, we must find something to do.

Don't be idle. It's not that Nord ruthlessly exploits them, but that once people are idle, they will think nonsense and make trouble, especially the hundreds of people now. Once there is something bad, they will have trouble. The simplest way is to arrange work for them.

As long as you get busy, you won't have time to think about so many things, and you won't be sad about the past events in heimu stronghold. This is killing two birds with one stone. Why don't Nord do it?

Fortunately, Abel's housekeeper didn't let Nord wait too long. The third morning after Marco left, Abel's housekeeper rushed back with people who were dusty. Many people came this time. It seems that Abel also brought two construction teams from Tami village, each with large and small tools.

It seems that Abel is considerate. The construction teams in Tami village are experienced and must be more efficient than these mountain people. They can also play the role of bringing the old with the new and speed up the construction of Nanshan stronghold.

After Abel's housekeeper came, Nord was liberated. He didn't have to do so many things every day. As long as he grasped the overall planning, such work became idle.

After the arrival of Abbot housekeeper, the efficiency improved at a visible speed. In just a few days, several wooden houses rose up, and the mountain people in Nanshan stronghold became busy and orderly. Everything was developing in a normal direction.

Looking at such a scene, Nord has time to go to the remote stronghold. Nord wants to see it very much now. Harlan will be angry or helpless when he learns that Nord has established the South stronghold, but it will be very interesting.

Far mountain stronghold, Harlan's house.

Nord and Harlan sat opposite each other. Harlan's previous reaction disappointed Nord. Harlan didn't say much about Nord's choice, or even if he had any ideas, he wouldn't show it easily, at least under Nord's expression of schadenfreude.

Finally, Nord couldn't hold on and took the initiative to ask Harlan.

"Harlan, what do you think of my decision to move heimu stronghold to the south boundary mountain?"

"Very good!"

……

There was a brief silence in the room. Nord was speechless. Just two words made Nord instantly think of several meanings. Is this a serious compliment to me? Or are you dissatisfied with me? Could it be perfunctory? Or all three?

Nord's mind turned, but Harlan saw through it all. He showed a kind smile on his face, quietly looked at Nord with an embarrassed face and slowly opened his mouth.

"I don't mean anything else. You really did a good job. The geographical location of Nanjie mountain is very superior. You must also see that although it will have some bad effects on Yuanshan stronghold, it's really good from your point of view!"
