After the music was played, everyone entered the palace. In the meeting room of the Shire Palace in Storm Fortress, Iros and others took their seats.
"How is the situation in Eight Peaks Mountain now?" After sitting down, Fiona asked Goodwin: "How is the situation of the dwarves of the Angland clan?"
"All is well with King Belegar and his clan."
Goodwin nodded, and the northern commander thought for a while, then picked out a few important things and said:
"In the past few years in the north, we and the Angland clan have fought more than a hundred battles around the Eight Peaks Mountain. Basically, we have completely wiped out all the orc forces near the Eight Peaks Mountain. According to King Belegar's judgment, at least in the next dozen or so
In the year, no orcs will appear around Bafeng Mountain again.”ωωw..net
"Are there many casualties?" Fiona couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

"The dwarves basically had no casualties." Goodwin said helplessly: "Most of them were small-scale security battles. We suffered more than 2,000 casualties before and after, but Durant had a way to get us a lot of new recruits.
.”
The mercenary leader sitting at the bottom, who inherited the identity of Black-hearted Repp as a border baron and is now the number one warlord on the border, Durant smiled flatteringly:
"Many people are willing to fight, as long as the price is right. My Grand Duke, there are many people on the border who accept food, accommodation and accommodation to gain a young man of good family background for themselves. Although there will be losses, everyone is willing to come."
"Um."
Fiona asked some more questions and nodded repeatedly. The Grand Duchess thought for a while and suddenly asked: "In that case, I have a question for you, Goodwin. Please answer it in detail."
"Excuse me, Grand Duke."
Four years have passed since the Great Expedition to Mount Eight Peaks.
Four years may be enough time to turn a group of human recruits into experienced combat veterans, and turn a young man with a hairy mouth into an elite who can stand the test of blood and fire, but for dwarves, this is just four years.
According to the information brought back by Goodwin, Belega actually did the following things during this year.
The first is to resume the excavation work in a small part of the Bafeng Mountain mines. Belega personally led the army and miners to explore many mines underground. Most of the mines were sealed with explosives and runes, but there were a few.
Mining of some ore veins has resumed, and this operation alone took the dwarves of Bafeng Mountain half a year.

The second thing is to rebuild the brewery, weapon workshop, military camp, temple and palace. By the time Goodwin came back, the dwarves of Bafeng Mountain had just completed the brewery and weapon workshop. If it hadn't been for Goodwin,
Wen ordered the recruitment of human troops and craftsmen to assist, but there was not even a trace of the military camp.
The third thing is what Goodwin said. Hundreds of security battles have been fought around Bafeng Mountain. Basically, all nearby Skaven and orcs have been cleared. The new sentry system
It has also been established, and Belegar predicts that there will be no more enemies in the next ten years.
The dwarves are indeed a race that suffers many hardships. The most terrible thing is that the dwarves do not have a paradise like the high elves, nor do they have a super high fertility rate like the dark elves.
As the population continues to decrease and the number of newborns cannot keep up with the population loss, the decline of the dwarves has become inevitable.
But things are much better now with the help of humans. Don't underestimate humans. The growth rate of human population is only comparable to that of orcs and ratmen.
"Goodwin, let me ask you, what should the three northern guards do if they encounter a large-scale orc attack?" Fiona began to examine Goodwin.
"Resist step by step and gradually hold on to several important strongholds."
Goodwin continued: "You must preserve enough strength to fight in the snowfields and mountains, but more importantly, you must pay attention to making the orcs feel 'boring', that is, clinging to a stronghold and fighting stupidly, so that the orc army will soon be
If you don’t fight, you will collapse.”
"Very good." Fiona then asked: "What if the orcs and the Skaven form an alliance and attack together?"
"Abandon the Iron Guard and the Army Guard, retreat to the Eight Peaks Guard with all your strength, and immediately send people to ask for help from the High King of the Dwarves, the King of Haimen Pass, and even the Char."

Goodwin said seriously: "It is not wise to rush to war under such circumstances, but we can still make a difference."
"What if the undead, orcs, and ratmen attack together?" Fiona disagreed.
"Then contact Khalida, Queen of Lybaras! Even the other Tomb Kings, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Goodwin immediately gave the answer without thinking: "The undead, orcs and ratmen cannot be a stable alliance structure. The key to breaking the situation lies in how to use diplomatic means to attract more allies for themselves, and how to
To crack the communication ties between the other parties, in this case, military arrangements are secondary."
"good!"
Fiona nodded slightly, thinking that she was worthy of being a knight from the Shire, and every move she made showed the demeanor of Teacher Gonzalez.
Although Goodwin's military capabilities are far from Gonzalez's, he is still young after all, and he has inherited Gonzalez's ruthless methods in domestic and foreign affairs.
Fiona had the answer in her heart.
"It's been a hard work coming back from the expedition." Fiona smiled at Goodwin and said: "As for the troops from the northern expedition, how many of them are willing to return to the Shire? How many are willing to stay in the north?"
"Okay, leave it to me to arrange those people who are willing to return to the Shire." Iros took the initiative to take over the task, and he couldn't help but smile:

"As for the new recruits, you don't have to worry at all. The number of new recruits this time will far exceed what you need. It's just that it may be a little troublesome to manage, but it's okay. Fiona and I will fully support you."
"yes."
Goodwin had just returned and was dusty, so he didn't know much about what had happened recently in the Shire.
The commander-in-chief of the north looked much better when he heard that the recruits had no problems. The north is indeed a place with a harsh environment, and you will have to suffer when you go there. The soldiers have always complained a lot, and they just insist on it because of the generous salary.
.
After Goodwin went down, Iros and Fiona sat on either side of the reception room.
Fiona said: "Then, the list of the top ten marshals has been decided."
"Have you made up your mind? My dear."
"Well, I've thought about it all." Fiona nodded.
"Then let's put our priorities in order."
The ceremony for the canonization of the ten marshals is getting closer and closer, and all the major forces have sent envoys to congratulate and watch the ceremony.

In the past few years, the Ciel has become extremely powerful, and they have great righteousness in their hands. Most of the forces of order have sent envoys. On the one hand, they show their respect and recognition, and on the other hand, they also take the opportunity to observe Fiona's internal and external behavior.
Will there be any changes in the policy?
And on this day, Count Metternich, the special envoy of the Albrex Empire, also came to the Storm Fortress of the Shire.
The person who greeted him happened to be Talleyrand, the chief foreign minister of the Charles, holding a precious crutch in his hand.
"You have made a mess of everything, my dear Talleyrand."
When Metternich saw Talleyrand appear, he said angrily: "I have helped you so much, but you haven't even gotten a little bit in return. Sir, this is not how business works."
"I have helped you a lot, Count Metternich."
Talleyrand, leaning on a cane, came up and hugged him warmly:
"It was I who persuaded Archduke Fiona not to annex the northern grasslands. It was I who persuaded Archduke Fiona to lend money to the Ablix Empire. It was I who persuaded Archduke Fiona to have a good rest and stop using weapons. You must thank her.
I."
"I guess you don't know?"
Metternich smiled when he heard this: "It was I who persuaded His Majesty Emperor Peter I not to impose import tariffs on your Shire's minerals and arms. This is all for the sake of the unity of the human world. I think you should thank me even more.
