Chapter 315 Cousin Brian’s request for help

"I'll leave this matter to you. Qi Xing can mobilize some of his power." Weilin did not ask why, but believed in Kyle unconditionally.

If he asked the other party, he would tell everything without any reservations, but Weilin did not do that.

Starting in July, news of unrest gradually spread from various places.

The area around Qixing Leader was peaceful, with no dwarf "robbers" appearing.

On July 15th, Weilin received a letter from the Ridge Territory asking for help.

"My cousin is being treated like a soft persimmon."

In less than half a month, the Ridge Territory suffered three attacks by dwarf "robbers". In the first two times, part of the population was lost. Five villages were burned down. Six hundred serfs and civilians died at the hands of the dwarves. This time, the Ridge Territory was even more endangered. Town and castle security.

"Hilda, go get Kyle."

"Yes, Master."

Hilda, who has been reinstated as an official, is very polite and seems to have learned a lot during these fifteen days of sweeping training.

Wei Lin glanced at it for a few times and then withdrew his gaze.

"Back then, my cousin received my letter asking for help and brought most of the troops in his territory to support me. Now it's time for me to repay the favor."

This time, Verin prepared to lead the 3rd Battalion to support Ridge Territory.

There is a straight-line distance of 200 kilometers between Qixing Leader and Ridge Leader. The actual distance is about 400 kilometers. If you speed up the march, you can reach them in 16 hours.

The higher the strength limit of the soldiers in the army, the higher the marching speed will be.

If all members are bronze-level, this mere 400 kilometers distance can be shortened to ten hours.

On the other side, after receiving the news, Kyle ended his training with the Silver Wolf Knight and walked quickly to the study.

When Kyle arrived in the study, Verin told the general story without any nonsense.

"After I left, I asked Baird to take over the position of acting commander of the Tenth Army of the Defense Force. However, he is usually very busy. These matters will still fall on you, and you need to take some time."

"My subordinate understands."

Verin explained some important matters to Kyle, and then sent a messenger to transfer the third battalion stationed in Theo Fortress. At the same time, he ordered the second battalion of the castle guard to prepare dry food for three days.

In the evening, three thousand troops, well-equipped, all wearing armor, and with high morale, lined up outside the Star-Moon Fort.

"The commander of the third battalion, Eden, has met the Lord."

A sturdy silver swordsman took three steps forward, took off his helmet, maintained respect, and beat his chest in salute.

"Set off."

As the order was given, Eden began to form his team, following behind the escort, and quickly followed up.

Due to the strict training in the army, even if the marching speed reaches 30 kilometers per hour, his face does not turn red and his heart does not beat.

Iden looked back from time to time to inspect and found that there were no soldiers left behind. He was very satisfied and did not embarrass himself in front of the lord.

In addition, the thirty bronze knights who graduated from the Knight Academy and were assigned to the third battalion were temporarily merged into the Lord's Guard.

Eden takes great care of these good young men and hopes that they will be favored by the lord and become members of the guard.

Having different experiences, Eden takes great care of his subordinates, is extremely tolerant of geniuses, and uses the resources at his disposal to send them to a better place to realize their value.

There are three thousand people in the entire third battalion, and the lord ranks first in their hearts, so Eden ranks second in their hearts.

At noon the next day, an army of three thousand men arrived at the border of Ridge Territory.

Outside the ridge collar, Brian was waiting here with a dozen bronze knights.

"cousin."

After not seeing him for several months, his cousin looked quite haggard. Even with a forced smile on his face, he could still see the melancholy and weakness inside.

"Weilin, this time is really..." Brian didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Cousin, you helped me back then, and now I will help you." Weilin comforted him, telling his cousin not to think too much.

"Hahaha, I'm thinking too much." Brian forced a smile and took Verin to Ridge Town.

Even if the dark city wall was wiped clean, it could not hide the strong smell of blood.

Perhaps the actual situation was somewhat different than what was described in the letter, and my cousin's losses were greater than expected.

Passing through the wooden gate and entering Ridge Town, there are dilapidated scenes everywhere, and there are even many collapsed houses.

Seeing this scene, Verin frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't Viscount Dolivi lead his army to support?"

"Ugh--"

Brian shook his head. The army plus two hundred knights and attendants suffered one-third casualties. If I hadn't learned the lesson from last time and moved the population of the villages on the edge to Ridge Town, I'm afraid the losses would have been even greater."

"The 5,000-man troops of the 7th Army stationed in the Cypress Territory were also attacked by dwarves and suffered heavy losses. I received specific information just the day before yesterday. I sent them to the 500-man troops of the 7th Army of the Defense Force. More than half of them were killed in the battle, and the remaining All of them are injured."

"The other five baronies also suffered heavy losses, and two barons were killed in the battle."

After hearing Brian's explanation, Verin didn't think much about it.

"I will be stationed here with the third battalion during this period. Cousin, please deal with the territory affairs first and calm the panic of the civilians. If you need any supplies, just tell me directly. I will have someone transfer from Qixing. If you have money in the future, It’s still there.”

"Thank you." Brian said a little ashamed.

In the Ridge Town military camp, Verin took the documents he had obtained from Adrian and browsed them carefully. He could only say that the dwarf was indeed targeting the jurisdiction of the Seventh Army.

The reason is easy to analyze. Among the ten defense zones divided by Cardero Province, the Seventh Army ranks third in terms of overall strength, but only the last.

The kingdom can lure these nobles with treasures and send troops into the dwarves' territory to test them. The Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom can also use this method.

"There's still a year left, and I don't know how long this mess will last."

Closing the document, Verin thought of the new land in the north of the kingdom, the two provinces snatched from the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom forty years ago. I am afraid that the situation will become even more chaotic.

"According to the time, the eight-year war is about to end. The Brazilian League camp should be disbanded at the end of October. By then, the 16th Knights of Silver will be stationed in the Cardero Province, and the situation will be much better."

Calculating the time, the kingdom's war against the Gray Mansions Wasteland has actually lasted for eight years.

The eight-year war continued to bleed blood in the Ashmang Wasteland, and also trained the kingdom's army and the noble army.

This war is over. I don’t know how long the kingdom and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom will continue to fight. The last fight lasted for six years. How long will the fight last this time?
