Chapter 309: Testing by both sides - the turmoil caused by the dwarves

After the Star Prayer Day ended, Weilin returned to his old life.

Baird, Orlando and Andrew are in charge of the three counties of Qixing. The development of the underground world is in charge of Odor, so there is no need for him to worry about it at all.

In such leisure time, the year 9729 of the glorious calendar came to an end and the year 9730 of the glorious calendar ushered in.

In mid-January, Verin was sitting in the study, reviewing documents sent by Baird, when he saw Kyle walking into the study with a very serious expression.

"My lord, Raimundo has sent back the news that the military town of Gresley was attacked, and it was the dwarves who carried out the attack. However, the dwarves claim that these are bandits roaming within the dwarves' territory and have nothing to do with them."

"There are still two years until the armistice contract expires, and testing by both sides has begun."

Verin did not expect that the dwarves would be so violent in their temptations and attack the border military town as soon as they arrived.

"Ask Orlando and Andrew to arrange military patrols on the northern border of the Praying Star Territory. I don't want the dwarf "robbers" to burn, kill and loot in my territory."

"Yes, I will notify you in time." Kyle nodded seriously.

Within the next month, most of the nobles in the province of Cardro knew the news, and they mobilized troops to arm civilians to prevent attacks by dwarf "robbers".

As for escaping, no nobles dared to have such thoughts. The examples of nobles who were beheaded and those who were expelled from the royal capital were right in front of them, which instantly extinguished their thoughts.

The last monster attack in the Gray Mansions Wasteland, coupled with the review of the army in the past few years, not to mention other provinces, in the Cardero Province, the size and combat effectiveness of the noble army have increased significantly.

At the end of February, three baronies were attacked. One baron died and two other barons were seriously injured, but they were rescued by priests who came from the provincial capital.

However, this group of dwarf "robbers" was not much better, losing at least a quarter of their men.

People are in panic, causing chaos in the province of Cardero.

Taking this opportunity, the new Governor of Cadero Province, Audrey Silves, summoned nine viscounts in the province to discuss the formation of a defense force.

Weilin did not refuse the first invitation from the new governor, nor could he refuse. He led his people to the provincial capital the next day.

Although dwarf "robber" incidents occur frequently, even the provincial capital of Cardro Province has been greatly affected. The most intuitive manifestation is that there are more than three times more patrol troops inside and outside the city, and city gate inspections Be more strict to prevent some people from sneaking into it.

Through the noble passage, Weilin easily entered the provincial capital. He first went to the Governor's Mansion to make a report, and then went straight to the exclusive noble rest area in Dongcheng District to rest.

As soon as he stepped into this place, Weilin met his two cousins.

"Uncle Alcott, uncle Edgar." Verin came to the two of them and took the lead in saluting.

"It's very fast. We arrived at the provincial capital so quickly." Alcott said with a smile.

When Edgar heard this, he asked with concern: "Have you met those dwarves along the way?"

"That's not true. Besides, with my strength, no dwarf "robber" dares to come up and die." Weilin said very confidently.

"Hahaha, that's true. With your strength, those dwarf "robbers" are afraid that you won't be able to come in time, so how dare they block your way." Edgar thought about it in a blink of an eye, and it was indeed like this. He remembered that he had just met this kid. There is only a high-level bronze man who is more powerful than the two old guys in an instant, so there is no need to worry about his safety.

"Uncle, do you know the specific origins of these dwarf "robbers"? Are they from the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom military or from the army of the dwarf nobles?" Verin sat at the stone table and asked Alcott and Ed Ge asked.

Compared to myself, these two people have been in the Kadero Province for decades and must have more insights than me.

"In my opinion, these dwarf "robbers" are most likely to come from the army of the dwarf nobles." Alcott took a sip of tea, looked at Verin and Edgar, and said slowly, "The army of the dwarf kingdom and The armies of our kingdom also have strict discipline and prohibitions. In contrast, the noble armies are mixed, and many armies lack discipline."

"It can be seen from the attacks of the three baronies at the end of February that calling this group of dwarves a rabble is a bit derogatory, but they can fight back and forth with the baron's army, so that's all."

"In addition, it can be seen from the initial attack on Gresley Military Town that this group of dwarf "robbers" are not strong and have great ambitions, which is completely in line with my vision of these arrogant dwarf nobles."

After hearing this, Verin nodded and agreed with Uncle Alcott's point of view. These dwarf "robbers" were indeed very ambitious. It was indeed arrogant to attack Gresley Military Town first.

"Besides, there is another point of view that can support Alcott's idea." Edgar looked around and whispered to the two of them.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Weilin asked curiously.

Seeing this, Edgar replied: "My wife's brother, my brother-in-law, Viscount Byron Cardern, is the head of the Cardern family. Their family's territory is located in the northern part of the province of Knu. According to him, According to the news given to me, the kingdom has given him an order to send his troops into the territory of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom to conduct tests and collect intelligence."

"The kingdom has the same idea as the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom. Using the kingdom's army to test the other side is no different from starting a war. Both parties have a tacit agreement to use the noble army. It is not strong and cannot pose any threat to important positions. If some small nobles are destroyed, It's not unacceptable." After hearing this, Weilin combined his own thinking and said to the two of them.

After hearing this, Alcott had a different idea and whispered to the two of them: "Do you think it's possible? It's a lie that the Governor summoned us to the provincial capital to discuss forming a defense force. The real purpose is to allow us to send troops to carry out the war." Test work.”

"That being said, it's very possible." Edgar figured out the whole story, and it was exactly what Alcott said.

After Weilin heard this, he also agreed with his cousin's idea. The establishment of a defense force was only superficial, and the real purpose was probably to test the situation. Who knows that the Cardro Province is located on the border, and all aspects are very consistent.

"Two cousins, I think no matter what the outcome is, we should advance and retreat together. This is the foundation of our survival."

Alcott and Edgar nodded in agreement with their nephew's words.

There are nine viscounts in the province of Cardro, and the Aix family occupies one-third and has a great say. If they are unwilling to send troops into the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, the governor cannot do anything to them.
