After catching Jacobi, the female lord immediately arranged for people to interrogate him. As a result, because the torture was too harsh, and Jacobi himself had a death wish, he died after only half a day.
But Miss Rabbit still squeezed out a lot of useful information from Jacobi, and finally learned the exact number of the dwarf army on the opposite side.
This time, the Dwarf Kingdom sent a total of 30,000 troops, intending to invade the Western Territory via the Dragon Crest Mountains.
After the battle with Marquis Cullen and the army he led, he lost less than a thousand people. Later, the female lord opened a small map and killed 1,200 people without any martial ethics. Now there are still 20,000 people left.
More than seven thousand people.
On the other hand, Miss Rabbit was in a hurry to get into the mountains and only had time to assemble an army of 5,000 people.
Even including the 3,000 people who had just been rescued, there was still a huge gap in the number of people on both sides, with the number on the opposite side more than three times greater than theirs.
The female lord also opened her eyes, "Are those dwarves going to die if they don't take advantage? Are they going to play this kind of conspiracy with twenty-seven to eight thousand people?"
Du Lun shook his head when he heard this, "In a head-on confrontation, those dwarves do have a great chance of winning, but the losses will definitely not be small. And this time they said they would fight all the way to Lionheart Castle. This slogan should be just bragging, but I want to
Swallowing the Western Realm should be true."
"Although they will probably send more reinforcements in the future, the entire dwarf kingdom only has over one million people, which is about the same population as the Western Region. If I were the commander of that army, I would try to avoid tough battles."
In addition to this news, Jacobi also revealed that there were three Wing tribesmen lurking in the Dwarf Kingdom, and they came to Bratis at different times.
Jacobi is a relatively latecomer. He only arrived in this strange continent about a year and a half ago.
He first spent half a year learning Common Language, and then through his companions, he met the Dwarf King "The Filial Piety" Here, and successfully became Here's personal military advisor.
This time I went on an expedition with the dwarves, providing them with military advice and aerial reconnaissance.
It was only then that Miss Rabbit realized that these Wing Tribe people had been coveting the empire for so long. Not only did Gabriel secretly bring dragon eggs to compete with Moen, but they also had outposts all over the continent.
However, Edward II seemed to be aware of their conspiracy. After the tournament, he angrily rebuked the dwarves and elves, exposing their dirty dealings with the Winged Tribes.
It's just that Edward II drank poisonous wine and died suddenly. Garth, who succeeded him on the bone throne, now has a weak foundation and has to guard against his brothers. He doesn't want to offend his two neighbors again at this time.
I didn’t mention it again.
Maybe those dwarves decided to invade the Western Territory immediately because their relationship with the Wing Tribe was suddenly exposed.
In addition, the female lord also obtained the whereabouts of another traitor, Yin Erkand, the murderer of Marquis Cullen from Jacobi's mouth.
Jacobi said that the dwarves then sent Yirkand back to look for reinforcements, asking him to trick the reinforcements that arrived later into Gravel Valley.
However, Miss Rabbit did not see Yin Erkander, but the Dragon Ridge Mountains are very large, and it is possible that the two teams missed it during the journey.
After seven or eight days of looting and rest, the army has temporarily relieved the food crisis, and the wounded who were rescued before have also recovered to the point of being able to return to the battle.
So the female lord called the noble generals in the army together again and announced.
"We want to avenge Marquis Cullen!"
Everyone had no objection to this. They were all vassals of the Figuerola family, and it was their duty to avenge the monarch.
"There are three parties that killed Marquis Cullen." Miss Rabbit organized her thoughts and analyzed.
"First of all, there are our own traitors, Hugo and Morse. One of them deceived the Marquis into the valley, and one of them cut off the supply of the army, ultimately putting the Marquis and the 10,000 troops he led into danger.
"Of course, there is also Yin Erkander. He was greedy for life and feared death. He betrayed his sacred oath and killed his own lord with his own hands. This is an absolutely unforgivable crime!"
The girl's words aroused a chorus of approval, and some nobles even drew their swords and swore an oath to kill the three traitors.
The female lord waited for the discussion to subside a little before continuing, "Then there are those dwarves. They are greedy and cunning, and they have been coveting our land for a long time.
"The purpose of secretly dispatching the army this time is to invade our homeland. They also besieged the Marquis in that valley. They will definitely not be able to escape this revenge."
"That's right, those bastard dwarves must pay the price!" Fabrice agreed.
He suffered a lot this time, being trapped in that valley, and for a time he thought he would not be able to come out of it alive.
There were many nobles who felt the same as him, and they all hated those dwarves to the core.
"Finally, there are those Wing Tribe people. They were the ones who instigated and planned all this behind the scenes. The Wing Tribe man named Jacobi who I just captured was the one who came up with this battle plan, but now he
Already dead.
"So, we still need to defeat the dwarf army and capture the three traitors."
But this time the female lord was interrupted before she finished speaking.
"And those savages!"
"Um?"
"I said don't forget those dirty savages, they are the accomplices of the dwarves, we should kill them all!
!" The person who spoke was the representative of the Soto family.
And his words were supported by most people.
After all, what happened this time was all because of those savages. If those savages hadn't gone to the west to plunder first, there wouldn't have been such a tragic defeat.
"Uh..." The female lord hesitated a little. She actually felt that those savages had a lot of responsibility, but killing them all would definitely not work.
It's not because there are some women, children and old people among them, after all, there is no Geneva Convention in the Bratis continent.
The main reason is that this conflicts with Li Yu and her plan. They also need the help of these savages to deal with the dwarf army.
But now, the voices clamoring to slaughter all those savages are gradually gaining the upper hand.
Miss Rabbit subconsciously looked at Li Yu who was not far away, because in the past, whenever she had difficulties, she would first think of going to Li Yu.
It turned out that Li Yu was also looking at her at this time, with encouragement in his eyes.
The female lord lowered her head and thought for a moment, then pulled out the flintlock pistol from her waist and fired a shot into the sky.
The sudden loud noise and fire made the crowd fall silent.
When all eyes were focused on her, the girl spoke again, "We can't kill those savages."
"Why?" someone asked.
"Because they are still useful and are the key to us defeating those dwarves."
