Hells sent a carrier pigeon to report to the royal capital the news that the dwarves had ambushed Marquis Cullen in the Dragon Ridge Mountains.
The nature of the matter this time is very serious, and the actions of the dwarves are more than just provocation.
Killing the master of the Western Region, the head of the Figuerola family, one of the twelve nobles in the empire, was tantamount to a declaration of war.
Hells hoped that the empire could send reinforcements to avenge the deaths of his father and the noble soldiers, or at least provide food, grass and financial support for the expeditionary force.
However, Hells, who was full of expectations, did not wait for the new emperor's assistance. On the contrary, Gars asked him to set off immediately and lead his army to Lionheart Castle to defend the royal capital.
Hells frowned after receiving the order.
As the top wealthy family in the empire, the Figuerola family certainly has clan members in Lionheart Castle, and they even have their eyes and ears in the palace, so Hells has also received news of the fall of Crab Point.
And they also knew that the Wing Tribe people were just taking a short rest before approaching the royal capital again. With their marching speed, they might have arrived at the Lion Heart Castle by now.
This can also explain why the new emperor is so anxious to mobilize the army. It seems that Garth is planning to fight to the death with those Wing tribesmen in the royal capital.
Of course, Hells didn't want to see Lionheart Castle fall, but the problem was that the Figuerola family had just suffered a heavy blow, and it hadn't been long since his father's funeral, and the one who died in the Dragon Crest Mountains along with Cullen was the Western Territory.
Thousands of elites.
Although Yin Leiya, who arrived later, defeated the dwarf army, it was not all the army of the dwarf kingdom. Those little dwarfs were still capable of invading the Western Territory again.
It would undoubtedly be very dangerous for Hells to lead the army to leave at this time, but he had to obey the emperor's order, which is why he seemed so entangled.
Goldfinger Romero seemed to see his dilemma, so he suggested, "You can wait as long as possible before starting on the road, and you can also walk slower on the road.
"The Western Region is already close to Lionheart Castle but far away. It doesn't matter if we arrive a little late. It's best to wait until the end of the war before rushing there, so that we can preserve our strength to the maximum extent."
Hells couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this, "How long do you think this war will last, and who has a greater chance of winning."
"I don't know." Yanxue City's finance officer shook his head. "Those Wing tribesmen can fly and are naturally invincible. But the problem is that their number is too small. They are only over ten thousand. Such a small number of people can be conquered.
Can’t reach the continent of Bratis.”
"So do you think there will be reinforcements from those Wing Tribe people in the future?"
"No one can answer that question," Romero paused and continued, "but I personally tend to think not."
"Why?"
"Because if they still have reinforcements, the safest way is to use Crab Point as a stronghold and advance steadily. With their flying ability, they can find weakly defended towns, capture them easily, and unite with their allies to eat away at us bit by bit.
"But now they are going straight to Lionheart Castle. If they can win this battle, they can certainly defeat us in one fell swoop, but if they lose, even if it is just a stalemate, everyone will see their weakness.
"The consequences are unbearable for them. Attacking Lionheart Castle is a risky move. As for the final winner, it is difficult to predict. My personal guess is that it will be a tug-of-war that may last for quite some time.
"Based on the lessons learned from Crab Horn, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely ask people to store more water in the city to deal with the fire attacks of the Wing Tribe people and avoid repeating the mistakes of the Drummond family."
Hells nodded, "I can leave later, but I still have to go. What will happen to the Western Region after I leave?
"Those dwarves are allies with the Wing Tribe people. They will probably take the opportunity to fight again."
"You need to choose a trustworthy person to guard this land for you after you leave." The financial officer said.
"Who, you? I can trust you."
"Unfortunately, I'm not good at leading troops in battles." Romero shook his head, "I can recommend someone to you - the dragon-slaying knight Yin Leia of the Arias family."
"She can't do it." Hells refused without thinking, "Let's find someone else."
"But no one is more suitable than her. Sir Yin Leiya led people to hunt down the black dragon. From the beginning, he warned everyone that the Wing tribe would invade the Bratis continent, and then killed several Wing tribesmen.
Tribe, her loyal mother is unquestionable.
"In addition, she just led five thousand people to defeat an army of tens of thousands of dwarves. The dwarves should also be very afraid of her. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have such a deterrent effect."
Hearing this, Hells fell into silence again.
The financial officer continued, "You can arrive a little later when you go to Lionheart Castle this time, but in this case you must not bring too few people. You must gather an army of ten thousand people, otherwise it will be too obvious.
, the new emperor will definitely have opinions on you.
"In this way, there won't be too many people left, and Sir Yin Leiya has proven that he can win more with less..."
“Alas…” Hells sighed, “After I leave, my cousin ‘Severe Winter’ Ge Wen will be in charge of Yanxue City.
"I will tell Ge Wen that once those dwarves dare to cross the Dragon Ridge Mountains, let Yin Leiya lead the troops to fight them. That's all."
Romero hesitated to speak. Hells planned to let a tribesman handle the political affairs of the Western Territory when he left. This was of course no problem, but "Severe Winter" Gervin was not a very good candidate.
The financial officer knew something about Gwen and knew that he was a very conceited guy who did not easily listen to advice.
But Romero also understood Hells's difficulties. He was not trained as the heir of the family from the beginning. It was not until after his brother David's accident that Hells was corrected and he began to recruit people.
There are not many trusted cronies around him, and "Severe Winter" Gervin is the one who supported him from the beginning. At least there is no need to worry about loyalty.
In addition, Hells had already made concessions on Yin Leia's matter, and Romero had no choice but to say anything at this time.
So he nodded and agreed to Hells' arrangement. After the financial officer left, the young Lord of the West seemed to have thought of something again and called one of his cronies.
"Go and write a letter to High Priest Quintus, saying that I want to meet him again and talk about how to curb the double break. I will lead an army through the Scaled City in a while, and we will discuss it in detail then.
"I hope he can come up with a feasible plan. If he needs any help, whether it is human or financial, I can support him."
