Chapter 386: The Wind Battle - The abandoned remnant of the Xiqiu Province

Then, Weilin pointed to the place 30 kilometers above the Wild Crane Pass and said to Kyle: "Notify my cousin Edgar and let him lead his troops to station here to monitor the movements on the Misty River."

"Here, deploy a 200-man outpost force to monitor the situation in the Dukedom of Hador."

"Also, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Transfer a thousand-man team there to build a fortress to ensure the smooth communication road between us and the 134th Legion, and monitor the surrounding situation at the same time."

Welin narrated and Kyle recorded.

Ten minutes later, Weilin successively deployed eight outposts, five bunkers, and two important garrison locations, and combined with Kyle's suggestions to complete this defense map.

For the large-scale mobilization of the human army, the dwarf army located on the border of the Dukedom of Hador will naturally not be indifferent. They will enter a state of war and be ready to welcome the attack of the human army at any time.

Opposite the Wild Crane Pass, in the city of Marius, the dwarf general Gord stationed here looked at the order sent by the Duke's Mansion and then looked at the order of the Southern Command.

According to the instructions of Lord Gemir, the eldest son of Duke Hador, the city of Marius should focus on defense and not take the initiative to attack the human army.

But the order of the Southern Command was very clear, asking him to send troops to attack Yehekou and take it back.

"General, we are the army of Lord Hador, the Duke, and the army of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom is second." A golden dwarf officer reminded softly.

Dwarf General Gord nodded and put the order document from the Southern Command into the brazier. He was Duke Hador's man, not the king's subordinate.

For this move, the surrounding dwarf officers were indifferent and did not think there was anything wrong with this move.

The orders of Lord Duke and his heirs were higher than the orders of the kingdom to them.

"Pass the order down, keep alert. If the other side does not take the initiative to attack, we are not allowed to provoke."

"Also send people to watch the troops withdrawn from the West Hill Province. If they dare to disobey the Duke's order, send troops to suppress them directly. This place is the Grand Duke's territory, and everything must be based on the interests of the Grand Duke as the primary goal."

"Yes, General."

Eight gold-level dwarves stood up and answered loudly.

In mid-August, war broke out in Barisan Province, Cassis Province and Brak Province, and the army of the Kingdom of Ilia took the initiative to launch a large-scale offensive.

After the king of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom learned the information on the southern battlefield, he could only withdraw troops from the northern battlefield to support. As for the troops stationed in the capital, three legions were withdrawn to support Cassis Province and Brak Province.

On the other side of the Misty River, looking at the land on the other side that exuded a foul smell, Weilin was very emotional.

The Scourge of the Undead has been over for many years. In addition to being swept through the West Hill Province by several dwarf legends and clearing most of the undead, the land is still polluted by the breath of the undead.

On the shore, patrol troops pass by from time to time, smashing the undead that strayed into the East Coast, and pulling the bones to a special processing site, where priests take action and purify them with sacred fire.

"It seems that the dwarf army in the Duke of Hador is very restrained. In the past two months, no conflict has been heard."

"My Lord, this is actually normal. Duke Hador must have known that the war is about to end. If he throws his army into the war, he will suffer losses for no reason. Anyway, we will eventually evacuate the territory of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom. It doesn't matter whether we fight or not."

"In fact, there is one thing you haven't guessed." Weilin smiled proudly and answered, "Half a month ago, we returned the area in the south of the Duke of Hador and sent some things to the Duke to make up for his losses. This is why Duke Hador didn't want to fight. Otherwise, it will be less than three months. Fighting for various reasons."

"Is that so?" Kyle tilted his head. He didn't get the relevant information and really didn't consider this.

Weilin was in a good mood and said, "In general, there will be basically no war in the area around the Duke of Hador, but just in case, we still can't let our guard down."

War is always unpredictable, the enemy may become an outsider, in short, anything can happen.

…

Hador City, the capital of the Dukedom of Hador, is located on the top of the mountain. The Hador Castle is the residence of the dwarf Duke Hador, and it is also the place where his family, loyal subordinates and their families live.

“Father, this is the order of His Majesty the King, asking us to launch a raid on the Province of Xigas in mid-October.” Gmir placed a piece of iron book in front of his father and then stepped aside.

Hador picked up the iron book, took a quick look at it, and threw it aside.

"I remember that Marius City still has a part of the army withdrawn from Xiqiu Province."

"Yes, father." Gmir replied respectfully, "There are 7,000 troops, led by Andra, a subordinate of the former governor of Xiqiu Province, Jade Iron Furnace, a mid-level gold warrior, under the jurisdiction of General Gold of Marius City."

"Order Gold to send this part of the army to attack Yehekou and give an explanation to our dear king. Other directions are strictly prohibited from taking any action without authorization."

"Xigas Province has been ruined by humans and turned into a wasteland. There is no benefit at all. Even if it is conquered, it will not become my territory. In addition, this war will end soon. In the future, please do not disturb me with official documents sent from the capital unless it is urgent."

"Yes, father." Gmir bowed his head and replied, then left the hall.

...

On October 1, 9738 in the Glorious Calendar, there were still seven months left before the end of the war, and he would be able to return to his territory.

Verin told no one when the war would end.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a beautiful sound sounded in my ears again.

[Thirty kilometers west of Yehekou, there are three petrified fire dragon eggs underground. Soaking them in the blood of the red dragon will reactivate these three eggs. 】

"A dragon egg is really a rare thing."

Weilin touched his chin with anticipation.

Over the past ten years, he has raised two mutant rock monitor lizards, three mutant griffins, and two wind wolves. Three more fire dragons would be good.

"I don't know if the red dragon is still alive. I hope it won't be played to death by Ms. Anastasia. Otherwise, I will have to find the red dragon to activate these three petrified fire dragon eggs."

Before departure, Ms. Shia promised herself something and she would not break her promise.

The next morning Verin called Orlando over.

"Tonight, you go to the ground thirty kilometers away to retrieve three petrified eggs. Remember not to let too many people know about this."

"Yes, my lord," Orlando answered respectfully.

Verin could only let Orlando do this. As for Kyle, he went to the west coast to do some experiments. In short, it was very mysterious, so he didn't ask any more questions.
