At the first time when they met the tiger, the eight spearmen who followed the caravan became nervous. Subconsciously, they formed an array and stood in front of the caravan, just as they trained every day in the barracks, just as they formed an array to meet the enemy on the battlefield.

The eight spearmen stood shoulder to shoulder, holding spears and pointing obliquely at the tiger 20 meters away. They kept their posture motionless. They were indeed a little afraid.

But these spearmen understand that running away can\'t solve the problem. Leaving the back to the enemy is the stupidest choice on the battlefield. It\'s the same with tigers. People don\'t run as fast as tigers. There is only a dead end to running away.

I don\'t know why when the eight of them stood together, their fear subsided a lot, just like the battle a few days ago. As long as they picked up the regiment, they were safe. No one can break through their defense line, which is not only what Lord Marco has been emphasizing to them in the barracks before, but also what they have personally experienced on the battlefield.

Even so, they dare not take a step forward. At this time, provoking the tiger is definitely an act of death. It is very brave to stand in place. Before these soldiers come forward, the guys and porters of the caravan have made a mess. Without them and the tiger, it is estimated that the whole caravan would have been defeated by a tiger.

Seeing that soldiers were protecting them, Jody stabilized the situation in time. They stood not far behind the Spearman and looked at the eight people and a tiger not far away. They didn\'t even dare to go out, for fear that one accidentally broke the quiet scene.

Such a tense situation was deadlocked for more than an hour, until the tiger felt that the gains were not worth the losses, so he turned and left. When the tiger disappeared from people\'s sight, the eight spearmen almost lay on the ground, and their hands on the spear trembled slightly.

They feel much more tired than the training queue in the barracks. During normal training, they don\'t feel so tired for two hours at a stop. The stalemate with the tiger for more than an hour makes them physically and mentally tired. It\'s clear that shortly after the winter, every soldier has a cold sweat on his back. They may never forget today\'s events for a lifetime.

Originally, the caravan started late. It took so long on the road. When they reached Cindy\'s stronghold, it was already late at night. The physically and mentally exhausted Caravan and soldiers couldn\'t go on, so they had to stay here for a night.

Even if there was a bright campfire in the camp, it could not dispel the fear in the hearts of the people. Just after the people 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 on the night watch. Until they arrived at Nanshan stronghold safely, they were really relieved.

Listening to Jody and several spearmen, Nord has made the whole thing clear. Although it is a little thrilling, it is good that there are no real casualties. This is a wake-up to Nord. This mountain forest is not so easy to conquer. Not to mention the mountain people in the stronghold, the environment of the yamong mountains and the beasts walking everywhere are enough for Nord to drink a pot, It\'s not so easy to conquer this ancient mountain,

Looking at the tired eyes of the soldiers, Nord immediately arranged for them to have a rest. After putting all the goods into the market of Nanshan stronghold, these guys couldn\'t hold on. Nord sighed. It seems that it\'s urgent to mobilize some crossbow soldiers from Lehman.

Perhaps only bows and crossbows can make them feel at ease. The unexpected emergence of a tiger makes the whole caravan nervous and panic. In the long run, it will definitely delay the progress of the whole plan. The efficiency of the caravan\'s transportation of materials is related to the speed of the whole plan, which is why Nord has to work hard to build mountain roads.

To tell the truth, now most of Nord\'s income is invested in the construction plan of mountain roads. More than half of the construction teams in Tami town build roads in the mountains and forests. Not to mention the materials needed for road construction, the salary of these construction workers is a large expense, let alone a road from Tami town to nanshanzhai.

After some time, when the roads of these villages are started at the same time, it is estimated that it is another scene. Nord simply estimates that at least three mountain roads need to be built at the same time, which is why Yuanshan village and Lamo village are on the same road. Nord can\'t build one road for each village, so he can only connect more villages with one road as far as possible.

Moreover, it is estimated that there will be many mountain people building roads, because the mountain stronghold has no other work. Except for Nord\'s upcoming Hunter team, mountain people want to make money. In addition to risking to find materials in the mountains, they have to join Nord\'s road building team.

In addition to Songjia village, which is unwilling to cooperate at present, the population of several other shanzhais adds up to at least 1200 people, that is to say, there should be more than 300 mountain people joining in road construction, that is, paying the salaries of these mountain people is a large expense.

It is estimated that the profits of Nord\'s whole caravan can\'t fill this big pit. This is only a small part of the periphery of the Yameng mountains, just like the tip of the iceberg. Nord can see from the map sent by Harlan yesterday that there were not many mountain strongholds in the Yameng mountains hundreds of years ago. Because the map is relatively simple, Nord roughly counted them, There are less than 100 shanzhais drawn on the map.

It is all distributed in the periphery. It is really inaccessible in the depths of the Amun mountains, but Nord doesn\'t know. Hundreds of years ago, the number of shanzhais has increased or decreased. Nord compares Harun\'s crude map with that on the system, although the fog of war on the system map has not been solved.

Roughly compared, within 500 kilometers from the south boundary to the north, in addition to these shanzhais that have dealt with Nord, there should be six or seven undiscovered shanzhais waiting for Nord to develop. This matter is not in a hurry. Wait until the two wait-and-see shanzhais of Boca and toke are completed, and then go to find other shanzhais.

As for Songjia village, it depends on their performance. Nord has confidence when he looks at the packed Nanshan village market. Now that the guys of the caravan have gone to rest and no one is in charge of the overall situation in the market, Nord takes a look at Marco and old Moore around him and has a candidate in his heart.

Marco\'s heart clicked when Nord looked at him. Especially when Nord smiled, Marco had a bad feeling. Marco responded to Nord with a very stiff smile. His face was very unnatural, as if he knew what would happen next.

"Marco, I asked Jody to take charge of the market of Nanshan stronghold in the future. You don\'t have to worry about working in the market in the future, but not today. They came all the way and were afraid on the road. They are resting now, so you still have to take charge of today\'s market."

"Yes... Lord Nord."

Marco\'s voice was weak, and his face became like balsam pear. His eyes looked at the ground without God, as if he had accepted his life.
