Chapter 309: Testing between the two sides - the turmoil caused by the dwarves

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

The three counties of the Star Prayer Territory were managed by Baird, Orlando and Andrew, and the development of the underground world was managed by Odor, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

In such leisure time, the 9729th year of the Glorious Calendar ended and the 9730th year of the Glorious Calendar began.

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

"My Lord, Raymondo sent back news that the Gresley Military Town was attacked by dwarves, but the dwarves claimed that these were bandits roaming in the dwarf territory and had nothing to do with them."

"There are still two years before the armistice expires, and the two sides have begun to test each other."

Weilin didn't expect the dwarves to test so fiercely, and they attacked the border military town as soon as they came.

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

"Yes, I will notify them." Kyle nodded seriously.

In the next month, most of the nobles in Kadlo Province knew the news and summoned the army to arm the civilians to prevent the attacks of the dwarf "robbers".

As for escaping, no noble dared to have such thoughts. The examples of nobles beheaded and stripped of their titles in the capital were right in front of them, which instantly extinguished their thoughts.

The last attack by the monsters in the Gray Wasteland, coupled with the review of the army in the past few years, not to mention other provinces, in the territory of Kadlo Province, the size and combat effectiveness of the noble army have been significantly improved.

At the end of February, three baronies were attacked, one baron died, and the other two 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 manpower.

The panic caused chaos in the province of Kadero.

Taking this opportunity, the new governor of Kadero, Audrey Silves, summoned nine viscounts in the province to discuss the establishment of a defense army.

For the first invitation from the new governor, Weilin did not refuse, and could not refuse. The next day he took people to the provincial capital.

Although the dwarf "robbery" incidents occurred frequently, even the provincial capital of Kadero Province was greatly affected. The most intuitive manifestation was that there were more than three times more patrol troops inside and outside the city, and the gate inspection was more strict to prevent some traitors from mixing in.

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

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

"Uncle Alcott, Uncle Edgar." Weilin came to the two and saluted first.

"Very fast, so fast to the provincial capital." Alcott said with a smile.

Hearing this, Edgar asked with concern: "Did you encounter those dwarves along the way?"

"No, and with my strength, no dwarf "robbers" dare to come up and die." Weilin said confidently.

"Hahaha, that's true. With your strength, those dwarf "robbers" are afraid of you, how dare they block your way." Edgar thought about it for a moment, and it was indeed true. When he first met this kid, he was only a high-level bronze, and in a blink of an eye, he was more powerful than the two old guys. There was no need to worry about his safety.

"Uncle, do you know the specific origin of this group of dwarf "robbers", are they from the military of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, or from the army of dwarf nobles?" Weilin sat at the stone table and asked Alcott and Edgar.

Compared to himself, these two have been in the Kadlo Province for decades, and they must have more insights than himself.

"In my opinion, it is most likely that this group of dwarf "robbers" came from the army of the dwarf nobles." Orcott took a sip of tea, looked at Weilin and Edgar, and said slowly, "The army of the Dwarf Kingdom is the same as the army of our kingdom. They have strict discipline and obey orders. In contrast, the noble army is mixed, and many armies lack discipline."

"From the attack of the three baronies at the end of February, it can be seen that calling this group of dwarves a mob is a bit derogatory, but they can fight back and forth with the baron's army, that's all."

"In addition, from the initial attack on the Gresley Military Town, it can be seen that this group of dwarf "robbers" are not strong, but very ambitious, which completely meets my idea of ​​these arrogant dwarf nobles."

After listening, Weilin nodded and agreed with the view of his uncle Orcott. This group of dwarf "robbers" is indeed ambitious. It is indeed arrogant to take action against the Gresley Military Town first.

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

"Uncle, what point of view?" Weilin asked curiously.

Seeing this, Edgar answered: "My wife's brother, my brother-in-law, Viscount Byron Carden, is the patriarch of the Carden family. Their family's territory is located in the northern part of the Knu Province. According to the information he gave me, the kingdom has issued an order to him to send his troops into the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom to test and collect intelligence."

"The kingdom and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom have the same idea. Using the kingdom's army to test the other side is no different from going to war. So both sides tacitly use the noble army. The strength is not strong and it can't pose any threat to important positions. It is not unacceptable to let some small nobles perish." After hearing this, Weilin combined his own thoughts and said to the two.

After hearing this, Alcott had a different idea and whispered to the two: "Do you think it is possible that the governor summoned us to the provincial capital to discuss the establishment of a defense army. The real purpose is to let us send troops to conduct probing work."

"That's very likely." Edgar understood the ins and outs, and it was indeed as Alcott said.

After hearing this, Weilin also recognized his uncle's idea in his heart. The establishment of a defense army was just a surface. The real purpose was probably to test. Who made the Kadlo Province located on the border, and all aspects were very suitable.

"My two uncles, I think no matter what the result 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 their Ex family accounts for one third of them, and they have a great say. If they are unwilling to send troops into the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, the governor can do nothing to them.
