Chapter 725 Reaching Nord Village

Ivan and Jieta are a couple who have been married for more than 50 years and are the two oldest elders in the Nord village.

There is an idiom in China called "Old and Stronger", which is used to describe the stronger mentality of the elderly.This idiom is very appropriate for Ivan and Jieta. Although the body cannot resist the erosion of time and is getting old day by day, the will of the two old people has become more and more firm under the polishing of the years, and the experience has also become the accumulation of experience day after day. Wisdom.

Therefore, Ivan, who passed the position of village head to Gaius' father Lagan, was revered as the "elder", and Jieta, who retired from the post of pharmacist to help the village with supplies, was revered as "mother-in-law".Although the two are not very involved in the specific affairs of the village, they still use their experience and wisdom to guide the direction of everyone in the village and avoid detours.It was Elder Ivan's suggestion to organize the whole village to go north for refuge before the war started.

Unlike the extremely aggressive nomads in Chinese history, Nord, although his name grew on horseback, loves peace and rarely conflicts with people or forces.Whenever the cloud of war hangs over the plateau, the people of Nord will go all the way north to take refuge in the mountainous area with complex terrain and difficult for modern weapons to function.Therefore, after the village received the notice from "Jianda Gate", Elder Ivan was the first to propose to the village head, Lagang, who was also the first warrior of the tribe, to move north.

Nomads have a good thing, they live in places with lush water and grass. Whether they want to escape the flames of war or not, they migrate several times a year.

When they came to the shore of Lake Lacrima along the familiar route, all the people were stunned.On the bank of Lacrima Lake, which is like a paradise in the south of the Yangtze River, there is actually a Jaeger regiment.

The people of the Nords of the Jaegering Corps are not unfamiliar. The nomads are hospitable. As long as you follow the rules on the grassland, they welcome anyone to come as a guest, no matter what your status is.However, if someone thinks that the people of Nord are soft persimmons and easy to bully, they are very wrong.The people of Nord, who grew up freely on horseback, are skilled in horse bows and horses. Both men and women are qualified warriors. They love peace but are not afraid of fighting. More importantly, they have the strength to guarantee their own safety—especially Where heavy weapons are useless, a Nord village is stronger than a division.

Anyone who has an understanding of the dark world knows that there are good and bad soldiers in the hunter world, and the combat power is uneven, and the discipline of each hunter group is the same.There are many hunting regiments with strict discipline comparable to the regular armies of various countries, and there are also many groups with no discipline at all.There was once a hunting group with fairly good combat effectiveness that had the idea of ​​a certain tribe, and then...then there was no more, because no one heard about this hunting group.

Of course, this is only a very rare case. Most of the time, the people of Nord are peaceful and friendly.Only when the safety of themselves or their friends is threatened, they will turn into a hurricane on the grassland and blow away all enemies-unfortunately, the shore of Lake Lacrima is a hermit's hermit, and this hermit is Nord. Proud friend!

In Nolde, the word "friend" has a very high weight, not the kind of "friends with wine and meat" or "fellow friends" that have changed in modern society. Such people are only called guests in Nolde.Only those who are sincere, trustworthy and even entrusted with life and death are eligible to be called friends by the people of Nord.

For the sake of their friends, the people of Nord can go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to do anything—just like fifteen warriors followed the Emperor Drekels with only one knight, and only a few returned to this land favored by the wind. The earth is the same.

Although the hunting group in front of them looked much stronger than the previous one, Ivan and Lagan didn't have the slightest fear in their hearts. If something happened to the hermit, then the previous and current number one warrior of the tribe would lead all of them. The Nord warriors will attack this hunting group.

Fortunately, the attitude shown by this powerful hunter is very friendly, and the hermit is safe and sound, except that there is an extra blonde woman with a strong aura around him. Inexplicably familiar.

The quiet-looking secretary who accompanied her said that it was the daughter of the hermit Mr. Gunn, Ms. Irina Lanefort, the current president of the largest industrial manufacturer "RF" Group in the Western Continent.

Well, it turned out to be the "unfilial daughter" that the hermit said. In that case, the weird attitude between the two is understandable.Nolde is indeed relatively closed, but he is not indifferent to the outside world. Ivan has heard about the accident that happened to the "RF" group 5 years ago. After all, the guide products in the village are all printed with the RF trademark.

Since it's a father-daughter quarrel, there's nothing to say, and outsiders can't control it.In contrast, Ivan was more curious about why the hermit's daughter, who had never appeared here once, appeared here.

The secretary didn't hide anything, and told everything.

Under the banner of "purging out treacherous ministers and restoring traditions", the rebellious noble alliance wants to get the "RF" group as a logistical support, and intends to imprison President Irina. Lei is the closest, and the Nord Plateau, which is out of the reach of the forces of the noble alliance, is dodging.The accompanying hunters were guards hired by President Irina, and the quiet woman who looked like a secretary was the leader of the hunters.

As I said just now, the people of Nord are willing to go through fire and water for their friends, and no one in the village will turn away the daughter of the hermit, even if they know that it may bring danger to the village—even though the hermit says The newspaper said he wanted his daughter to leave, but he wasn't from the village, so it didn't count.

In this way, Irina stayed on the shore of Lake Lacrima, and the people of Nord also camped by the lake, and the hunting regiment "Hedren" guarding Irina set up a defense line outside the village.

After getting along for more than a month, the people of Nord found that although Irina always had a cold face, she was not difficult to get along with. In her spare time, she would also help Granny Jieta count the supplies——can manage the huge " RF" group, the supplies of a mere village can't take Irina half an hour a day.

Surprisingly, Grandma Jieta seems to like Irina very much, treating her like her own daughter.Anyone who is familiar with Irina knows that she is a workaholic, and it is common for her to eat nutrition biscuits and even forget to eat and sleep.Sharon, Alyssa, Gu En and some executives of the group tried to persuade Irina more than once, but the latter always ignored it.

This situation has been improved after Granny Jieta intervened. Don't eat, right?The mother-in-law prepared it for you, brought it over, and then looked at you kindly, smiling at you until you ate it.Facing outsiders, subordinates, daughter and her own father, Irina was extremely aggressive, but she had no choice but to eat obediently with Granny Jieta's kind eyes.It seems that this business queen also has a nemesis. Jieta is to Irina like Sharon is to Alyssa, tsk tsk, they are indeed mother and daughter.

Not only was Irina integrated into the village, but so were the hunters.The hunters have a straightforward style, and the people of Nord have a bold personality, which is a natural fit. After the initial running-in period, the two sides even formed a common front. Joint patrols, and a joint attack to clear the more and more violent monsters.During the period, there were also elite squads from the Noble Alliance and hired hunters who came to sneak attacks, but these people obviously did not know the BUG skills shared by the people of Nord - the ultra-wide perception skills that are more powerful than the "Yabai Yidao Style" inheritance. domain awareness, especially in windy locations.

There is no need for the Nord warriors to take action at all, as long as you point out which side has the aura of the enemy, and the approximate number of people, "Hedren" will send more people to encircle and suppress.

By the way, although the Lake Lacrima where the Nord people are located is a lake, it is a natural canyon.On both sides of the entrance are not high but very steep mountain walls. The valley entrance is neither wide nor narrow, and can almost accommodate three main chariots. unfavorable.

Relying on geographical advantage, harmony of people and sufficient weapons and equipment, Aiwa is sure to withstand the frontal attack of the two mecha divisions.What's more, behind the village is the pearl of the plateau, the largest lake, Lake Lacrima, and if things are unavoidable, they can retreat by water, and the boat for retreat, Aiwa, has already been prepared.As for the enemy's pursuit, well, the army in Nordia State is good at mountain warfare, and water warfare. Well, it's not bad if you don't get seasick.

However, the current situation is not that bad. Only a small group of elite leaders and hired hunting soldiers can be found in the northern part of the plateau. along the Eschengett Mountains.

Although there has been a problem with the communication recently, and the connection with "Jiandamen" has become somewhat troublesome, but Eva is not too worried.Eva has met the famous "One-Eyed" Sykes several times, and the two sides also have private cooperation, such as information sharing, and the two sides cooperate to exterminate the "rats" on the plateau, etc.Eva is well aware of the power of Sykes and the Third Mecha Division led by him.It's just a communication problem. At most, Lieutenant General Sykes will shrink his defense and will never lose.

Only in this way, the possibility of a small group of troops infiltrating into the northern part of the plateau becomes higher, which is why Eva raised the alert level.

There is specialization in art, and the hunters are undoubtedly experts in combat. Eva's opinion has been valued by Lagon, and he personally dispatched people to join the patrol, especially the night defense force. Elder Ivan also joined the patrol.

Once a person gets older, he will have less sleep time. Ivan, who is over seventy years old, gets up before dawn every day, and is the earliest person in the village to get up.As the former No. [-] warrior of the tribe, even if he is old and frail, his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. What's more, he has accumulated decades of experience and diligently practiced sensory skills. No one is more suitable than him to stand at the end of the morning. One shift.

On December 1204, 12 in the Seven Lunar Calendar, at 3 o'clock in the morning, Elder Ivan greeted his wife Jieta who was busy making breakfast, and walked out of the yurt.

In the cold winter season, when Ivan went out at night, the darkness did not seem to fade at all. Except for the lights of the sentry post, the surrounding area was completely dark.Of course, the limitation of vision is negligible to Ivan, who has the most perceptual ability in Nolde. Relying on the information fed back from the perception field, Ivan easily avoided all "obstacles" and came under the sentry tower.

"Elder Ivan." The young man on the sentry tower bowed his head to Ivan.

"It's Thomas's shift today. Is there anything unusual?" Elder Ivan climbed up the sentry tower unhurriedly, neither showing his old age nor the vigor of a young man, but only the stability of going through the world.

"Report to the elder, no, everything is normal." The young people, especially the young people who practiced martial arts, were full of energy. They kept watch in the middle of the night and still did not feel tired.

"Thank you for the guidance of the wind and the goddess, and I will spend it safely today." Ivan faced the sky and thanked Night Breeze sincerely.

"Thank you for the guidance of the wind and the goddess." Thomas prayed with the old man.

"Thomas, go back and rest."

"Yes, elder."

At this moment, Ivan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he gave a suspicious "hmm".

"Elder, what's wrong?" Thomas asked.

"It seems that something is coming from above." Ivan closed his eyes and felt carefully.

"Above?" Thomas listened attentively. It didn't take long before he realized something was wrong. "Is that...the sound of an engine? An airship? But why is it different from the engine sound I've heard before?"

Regardless of Thomas' young age, he has seen quite a few airships.The attack craft of the [-]rd Mech Division, the high-speed motor boat of the Republic, the three escort boats brought by Irina, and the occasional passing merchant ships and cargo ships.Every time he saw one of them, Thomas wrote down their voices, because Thomas, like his brother Gaius, wanted to know the outside world, and this was also a way to understand it.

"No matter what it is, we must be prepared." Elder Ivan opened his eyes and ordered, "Go and wake up our hunter friends."

"Okay." Thomas jumped down from the sentry tower and ran towards the hunter camp.

In less than 5 minutes, all the cadres of "Hedren", including the leader Eva, gathered.

What is Elite?This is elite!

Knowing what happened from Thomas, Eva immediately made arrangements, turned on the searchlights, and prepared anti-aircraft artillery fire. Once the airship descended to the possible bombing distance, it would issue a warning. If the other party did not indicate their intention, they would open fire directly.

Since Ivan and Thomas confirmed that there was only one empty boat, Eva issued the highest alarm to wake up the whole village, but only asked her subordinates to arm themselves just in case.

Facts have proved that Eva's judgment is not wrong, and the unknown airship is not hostile.

Eva's tensed heartstrings relaxed a little as Ivan and Thomas sensed the empty boat rounding the village and descending on the lake.

When the searchlight caught the figure of the airship and saw the flag that the airship played clearly, Eva's heart was slightly relieved.

When she saw the appearance of the black-haired boy in front of the deck, Eva's heart was more than half relieved.
