The Great Hoodwinker did not follow Bruce, Rudy, and the rest to the North this time as there was still plenty of intelligence-gathering to do once war broke out in the North. He also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to recruit more talent for the Northwest.
The Northwest’s field intelligence unit had already quietly started preparing a plan called “The Prosperous Northwest” that was aimed at recruiting more ambitious people to join in the developmental efforts of building up the Northwest after the war ended.
However, they would definitely not take any real action for now since they needed to stand united against a common enemy. The Great Hoodwinker was only making plans for the future. Therefore, Bruce and the others still needed to find the person responsible for liaising with them after arriving in the North, and that person was Scott.
As Bruce took in the sight of Stronghold 144 in front of him, he could see many merchants traveling back and forth through the open stronghold gate. Some of the merchants had just arrived from the Central Plains while others were preparing to return to the Central Plains with goods purchased in the Northwest.
Outside the stronghold where the original town stood, it had turned into a huge wholesale market after going through multiple expansions. There were people peddling their wares in the marketplace while shop owners from the stronghold came to replenish their goods.
