On the other hand, for the dwarven kingdoms of the Lordan Mountains, the Punk Earl, the first order of succession in the West, was sent by the envoys. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This warlike Earl, because he goes to challenge the King of the Dwarven Kingdom every year, has also established a certain friendship with the Dwarven Kingdom.
At the very least, the entry and exit of the border is more arbitrary.
The Dwarven Kingdom is also uninterested in this war, and he, like the elves, has no intention of joining either side.
However, these seemingly honest dwarves took the opportunity to peddle a large number of weapons and equipment to the punk counts, and they didn't want gold coins, just food!
Weapons and equipment are exactly what the human kingdom needs now.
The Punk Count was not surprised by the trade offered by the dwarves, and he knew what the damned dwarves were up to.
The dwarves are nothing more than a business opportunity in this war, and they want to gain benefits in this war between humans and orcs that were difficult to obtain in the past.
In the entire Alan continent, the place where food is most scarce is the orc kingdom.
The dwarves just want to exchange food for a large amount of mineral resources in the orc kingdom.
Then they build weapons and equipment, and finally, they trade with humans.
And so on and so forth.
In this way, after the end of this war, no matter which side wins this war, the dwarven kingdom will gain great benefits, and they will become incomparably rich.
The Dwarven Kingdom promises that as long as the Punk Count agrees to this trade request, the Dwarven Kingdom will remain absolutely neutral in this war!
Although he knew what the dwarves were planning, the Punk Earl found that he had no way to refuse.
Who the hell gave the dwarves this damn idea!, the young Earl cursed in his heart.
The Punk Earl couldn't make his own decisions about this, because the dwarves wanted to trade with the entire human kingdom, so he had to write to tell King Laubert everything about this place...
...
...
At the same time, the Human Kingdom sent a large number of emissaries to several other presiding princes of the Goblin Trade Kingdom!
In the end, only a few emissaries were able to pass through the blockade line in the southern seas and reach the Clarkley Islands.
Negotiating with goblins is much more troublesome than with elves and dwarves, and their demands alone fill a whole stack of parchment!
The emissaries of the human kingdom could only wipe a cold sweat while carefully reading the terms carefully prepared by the goblins when they closed the door, and at the same time they had to bargain with these goblins who were in the seams.
In the end, the emissaries agreed to some adjustments to border taxes, as well as the lifting of the ban on some trade goods.
In short, the goblin's request is nothing more than to get the human kingdom to increase trade with the Clarkley Islands in order to stimulate the economy of their island!
The human envoy agreed to all of these demands after a lot of bargaining.
Eventually, the goblins offered to lease a territory in the southern seas to establish a port.
This unreasonable demand was categorically rejected by the messengers of mankind.
The goblins didn't seem surprised by the rejection of the humans, and after a lot of discussion, they proposed to build a commercial transit dock on an island off the southern seas!
In response to this request, the human envoy decided to ask his king before making a statement, after all, the southern realm is the private domain of Grand Duke De Rooney, and it is not for them to call the shots.
At this time, Grand Duke De Rooney was serving as the supreme commander of the northern battlefield, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops to fight with the orc army around Crane City.
The Grand Duke did not accept the post of Minister of War canonized by His Majesty, in large part because the position of Grand Duke Milak as Prime Minister made him unhappy.
The situation on the battlefield under the city of Crane did not have much advantage because of the reinforcements from the west, and the victory that the human kingdom hoped for did not come as they wanted.
When they finished their festivities, they found that the orcs had also increased their troops without them knowing it.
Moreover, the great chieftains of their three clans personally arrived at the front line to direct the battle.
Countless orc wizards and human mages were forcibly recruited.
The battle under the city of Crane has become a veritable meat grinder!
The battle-hardened Grand Duke De Rooney knew a few days after fighting the orcs that it had become unrealistic to defeat the orc army in front of him in a short period of time.
Forcing these orcs back to the Keding fortress at the end of June?
This is the order of King Laubert!
Two months to go!
If before, Grand Guild De Looney was confident, but now...
He felt that even if he lifted the siege of Crane City, it would be a little difficult, let alone force them back!
The fighting power of the orc army took Grand Duke De Rooney by surprise.
According to intelligence, the battle damage on the battlefield is two to one, or even three to one! That is, to destroy an orc, the human army will have to pay the cost of two or three soldiers' lives.
This is undoubtedly a very terrible thing, you know, now the orcs belong to the attacking side, and he is defending the city!
What damn intelligence officers, when they return to the territory, they must be let die on my gallows!! Grand Duke De Looney was eager to execute all his intelligence officers at this time to relieve the annoyance in his heart.
I don't know when his intelligence officer reported information to him on the orc side, he always belittled the orc warriors as useless.
They claimed that the orc warriors were mostly unclothed beggars, and that they didn't even have decent weapons.
Of course, this majestic grand duke also had doubts, after all, in the history of mankind, the orc kingdom is more powerful than the human kingdom, and in the great war against the elves thousands of years ago, the human kingdom is more like a vassal of the orc kingdom.
However, with the passage of time and the exaggeration of this large amount of similar information, the Grand Duke's suspicions gradually faded, and finally he himself became convinced that the orcs were not as powerful as they used to be, and that they were on the verge of extinction.
Otherwise, the Grand Duke would not have left only one viscount in his own territory to defend against the orc expeditionary force, although this viscount's territory and army were already quite large.
However, it is still quite difficult to deal with the alliance of the orc expeditionary force and a goblin prince.
At the end of every three-day military meeting, Archduke De Looney summoned the Earl of Lockton.
"You must have understood the combat effectiveness of the orc army, according to your estimate, how long will Viscount Cage be able to resist the combined forces of the orcs and the goblin prince?"
Earl Lockton was stunned for a moment, he cautiously looked at his Grand Duke and said: "In the Western Territory, the Orc troops belong to the expeditionary force, in the early stage of the war, their battle line cannot be stretched too long, with the wisdom of Viscount Cage, he will think of this, so, we don't have to worry about the problem of the Western Territory for the time being!"
"But what about later?"
Grand Duke De Rooney was clearly dissatisfied with Count Lockton's answer, and he did not need to hide his displeasure, his tone had become not so friendly.
