Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 0769

In earlier years, Stronghold 176’s reputation was on par with Fortress 178. But over the years, everyone started to only mention Fortress 178 and not Stronghold 176.

There were many reasons for this. On one hand, Stronghold 176’s terrain was not as harsh as Fortress 178’s, and the enemies from the grasslands were not as ferocious either.

Therefore, from a “sacrificial” point of view, Stronghold 176 did not really contribute much to the Alliance of Strongholds. After all, there were only so many nomads around, and they were not even armed with firearms and explosives. It would really be difficult for them to become a major threat to the Central Plains, and neither had any particularly bloody clashes taken place between the two sides.

On the other hand, Stronghold 176’s combat power was not strong either. Furthermore, they were getting weaker and weaker with each passing generation. In recent decades, the leadership of Stronghold 176 had turned hereditary, becoming privately helmed by the Goranev clan.

Initially, all of Stronghold 176’s resources were provided by the Stelaria Consortium, the Pyro Company, and the Virtuora Consortium as a token of gratitude to Stronghold 176 for defending against the northern enemies. But ever since Stronghold 176 was taken over by the Goranev clan, and after everyone realized the threat of the Northern Plains in recent years was only a case of the Goranev clan crying wolf, the supply of resources gradually stopped.
