"It's a good thing these people can be let in."

Lying on the tower of the city wall, Tang Zhao was basking in the sun habitually while observing the dwarf army parading below him.

He is very familiar with the dwarven military system, and the leader is holding two complicated military flags, which means that there are at least 500 people in this team, and the march from the dwarf kingdoms to this distance is basically not easy for them. How many specialized logistics personnel are needed, so these people are super-heavy infantry wearing luxurious heavy armor.

"The patterns of the two military flags are the same, but the numbers and details are different, which means that they belong to a family of vassals, or at least they are co-lords, and I am also very familiar with this coat of arms."

Obviously, Haiji was the only one who had this strength and leisure, and he hadn't greeted him in advance, so he didn't know Haiji's specific purpose.

But allowing the elves to enter the city in a dignified manner shows that the two sides have reached a basic consensus, and they are on the same front.

Glancing at the attendants who were like him on the top of the tower behind him, Tang Zhao ordered: "Go and find out what the elves are thinking. I haven't heard anything about it before."

When Tang Zhao returned to the residence, the emissary of the dwarves was also waiting at the door early, surrounded by a lot of watching elves, and there were quite a few gossiping ones, and their hostility towards the dwarves was obvious.

After all, they even had to argue for a long time about letting humans approach the city, but the dwarves entered the city at this delicate moment without any prior notice, which was really unacceptable to the elves.

Hurry up to welcome them into the room, Tang Zhao asked them why they came.

"On behalf of the patriarch Haiji, we are here to deliver something to you. First of all, this letter must be delivered to you personally."

The dwarves didn't come up with any weird tricks, it was just a simple and straightforward letter, without extra rhetoric, and simply listed a few things.

The matter of the king election was basically settled. Haiji was elected by most people and won the ceremony. The ceremony was held in the past ten years. , the leadership of the Rune Craftsman's Guild and the power to hold the highest level meeting.

He has a little understanding of Tang Zhao. Because Karak Solma has greatly relieved the pressure in the direction of Dragon Blood Pass, coupled with the recent increase in strength, he can now directly command more than [-] mobile forces. There are at least [-] to [-] of the princes.

Judging by the standards of dwarves, in this era, this number is very exaggerated. The previous expeditions used only two to three thousand people.

After Haiji came to power, he continued to implement the policy of bridging hatred, but it was not so smooth. Dwarves were more stubborn than elves, and there were many other deep hatreds written in the book of hatred between elves. Because of this problem, he Now we have to deal with the interior, but we also know that the elves are having a hard time here, so we sent these people over to show their friendship.

"Although the contradiction is sharp, the possibility of a civil war among the dwarves is still...even if it is not."

"You can think that the patriarch has hammered down seven or eight patriarchs and elders who held opposing opinions at the meeting, but it seems that they still have no intention of stopping."

Tang Zhao sighed in a humane manner, but he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

The dwarves are straightforward and irritable, which is a great thing at this time - any conflicts will erupt in person, either approved or rejected, and there is no hypocrisy.

If it is a human or an elf, there may be a long period of open and secret fighting if there is a disagreement on the major diplomatic policies, but it is different for the dwarves. There is only open fighting, and everything is resolved at the negotiation venue.

Of course, it is not normal to take out a hammer and an ax to physically communicate with each other at the venue, it can only be said that it is understandable at least.

In addition to this kind of good news, there is another thing, which is also the main reason for sending troops.

The dwarf lords near the elves' territory have recently received secret letters or messengers from unknown sources seeking to see them. The purpose is also very simple to harass the elves' borders and at least block part of the trade between humans and elves.

The other party hides his head and reveals his tail, and refuses to reveal more things. His identity is really suspicious, so there are not many promises. Most dwarf lords choose to report the matter and make decisions in front of everyone.

However, there are also a few stunned youths who directly lead people to do things obediently. Haiji is now personally stopping them. It's not a big problem. The soldiers sent here can be regarded as a way of showing friendliness.I was worried that it would not pass, but several people in power on the other side seemed to agree.

There is nothing better than fighting together on the battlefield to show friendship, especially the lives of dwarves are precious, and the cost of dispatching these people has already been spent, and damage to hundreds of sea bases will probably be criticized for a long time.

After reading through the letter, Tang Zhao's claws flashed a ball of electric sparks, and the letter made of paper quickly turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind.

"I understand everything, is there anything else I need to know?"

"The patriarch advises you to be very careful. I don't know what else will be involved. The matter is already very chaotic. It is not impossible to develop into a big war. Karak Solma is a strong city, but with All dwarven cities suffer from manpower alike."

In other words, Haiji was persuading Tang Zhao to prepare for the war. The dwarves were very familiar with this situation, and if they were involved too much, the situation would easily detonate, leading to out of control results.

"Understood, I will think about it carefully. If you encounter problems in this city, go to the Oran people. They will solve it for you. I have communicated with the human queen beforehand."

The dwarf army was not stationed in the city, but was stationed in a nearby acropolis. The location could take care of the harbor and traffic arteries. The entire fortress was handed over to the dwarves. The elves only transported the necessary supplies and carried out basic coordination of operations.

It's a good idea. If the two parties are stationed together, fighting and fighting every day may have to be busy for a while, and it didn't burden the dwarves with too heavy a task.

The elves also suddenly learned about the dwarves and made impromptu decisions. It's good if they can maintain this, at least they don't have to hold meetings to argue.

Things have developed to the present delicate situation, and the civilians in the city are also aware of it. All kinds of banquets have almost completely stopped, and people on the street are in a hurry. The popular place has changed from the handicraft street to the grain market and weapon market. Don't think it's a bad thing.

It's better to be prepared than nothing, and if something unexpected happened, the civilians in the city would have to be called up to stand guard.
