Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

Tongshan City is the territory of the Marquis of Tongshan. Like the Marquis of Darragh, he is a descendant of the royal family branch.

The political system implemented by the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom is different from the Kingdom of Ilia and the Kingdom of Bahio. The royal family only directly governs the mountain provinces, but for important domestic mineral locations and strategic locations, the royal family's children are entrusted to guard them.

In important provinces, outstanding sons of the royal family serve as governors to rule the entire country.

The first article of the "Ironforge Code", as the credential of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, stipulates that the king can unconditionally command the army under any noble. This is not only supported by the Church of the Dwarf Mountain God, but also affirmed by him himself.

Like its name, this city is built on a copper mine. Its interior is so intricate that even the dwarves themselves don’t know how deep it is beneath Copper Mountain City and how many dark, damp underground creatures are hidden there.

The order of the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Legion consisted of two parts.

First, maintain the stability of Tongshan City and eliminate the dwarf resistance.

Second, eliminate the cave dwarves who suddenly emerged from the ground to ensure the safety of the transportation and supply lines.

This kind of order, like Grotto Hills, is a logistical task. The only difference is that the objects to be eliminated have changed from dwarves to dwarves and underground creatures. The only difference is that there is one more object that needs to be eliminated.

Three days later, after Weilin and the 147th Legion from afar took over the defense of Black Forest Fortress, he commanded the army to march eastward to Copper Mountain City.

This time, Weilin did not apply for additional troops from above.

With the lessons learned from the last time, he didn't want to accept a group of miscellaneous soldiers, so as not to increase the command burden on himself.

After five days of marching, Weilin successfully arrived at Copper Mountain City. After taking over the local defense, he sent out all the knights in his hands to collect intelligence. He himself plunged into the information left by his predecessors to understand the specific situation of Copper Mountain City. .

The situation was far worse than he expected. The behavior of the previous garrison was extremely brutal. They blocked all entrances with huge rocks in the hope of cutting off the connection between the ground and the underground.

Due to the limited food production in the underground caves of Tongshan City, and the main passages being blocked, these cave dwarves could only dig around like headless flies, and from time to time they would dig out a road leading to the wilderness.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple. Cave dwarves are worthless to humans, or no one likes dwarf slaves like cave dwarves, so the previous garrison treated them so unscrupulously.

Verin straightened his hair, leaned back in his chair, and began to think about how to solve this problem.

"Underground in Tongshan City, there were originally seventeen cave dwarf tribes, about 20,000 cave dwarves. After three rounds of conscription by the Marquis of Tongshan, there were more than 10,000 cave dwarves left. Counting the dwarf rebels who were forced into the tunnels, overall The number should be around twelve thousand."

"As for whether there is a dwarf resistance alliance in the city, it is difficult to say clearly."

After much thought, Verin finally decided to move all the dwarves out of Copper Mountain City, build a camp outside the city, resettle the dwarf civilians, and implement military management.

The empty city of Tongshan City was set on fire. After all, it was a city of dwarves, so it would be burned down.

As for the location of the Dwarf Mountain God Church, people were asked to demolish the surrounding houses in advance to create an isolation zone.

The next morning, Viscount Muncas led more than 7,000 soldiers into Copper Mountain City and began knocking on the door door to door to drive the dwarf civilians out of the city.

Tongshan City is in dilapidated state. The important city that once accommodated more than 60,000 dwarves now has only more than 8,000 dwarf civilians left to survive.

The dwarf civilians in the city had long lost their ability to resist, so the entire cleanup work went very smoothly.

The soldiers opened the passage blocked by boulders, and a large amount of dry firewood and other combustible materials were transported into the city and placed everywhere.

Near the Church of the Dwarf Mountain God, more than a thousand soldiers were carrying out violent demolition, destroying surrounding buildings and creating an artificial isolation zone.

The thirteen dwarf priests looked at this scene, very angry, and at the same time a little helpless.

They were not treated roughly by these humans, all because of the dwarf mountain gods.

"Priest, what should we do?" A dwarf guard asked a gray-robed dwarf.

"close the door."

The gray-robed dwarf replied helplessly, then returned to the temple and continued to pray.

Seeing this, the other dwarf guards could only close the church door.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after all preparations were completed, Viscount Muncas stood at the gate of Copper Mountain City and threw the torch into the city.

The fire spread quickly and swept through the whole city in an instant. In the camp outside the city, the remaining dwarf civilians looked at the place where they lived was burned down and cried silently. They lowered their heads to cover up the resentment in their hearts.

On the hill outside the city, Weilin looked at the burning Tongshan City, but his heart was not disturbed at all.

In the church of the dwarf mountain god in the city, the statue of the dwarf mountain god shimmered with light, and a transparent barrier enveloped the entire church, isolating the heat wave and protecting the people inside the church.

"Kyle, if it were you, how would you issue the order next?" Weilin became a little interested, turned to look at Kyle, and asked.

Kyle thought for a while and replied: "Let the eight thousand dwarf civilians move, collect all edible food within a radius of thirty kilometers, burn vegetation, cut down trees, hunt wild animals, and pollute water sources. At the same time, send troops to strengthen logistics. Troop defense force to guard against attacks by the dwarf resistance and cave dwarves."

"As for the camp, send heavy troops to guard the food storage area, waiting for the cave dwarves to fall into the trap."

"These eight thousand dwarf civilians will have their food rationed. Those who hide the food secretly will be treated as associates of the dwarf resistance. Once a certain number is reached, they will be sold to slave traders at low prices."

"You are still cruel enough."

There were some details that Welin had not thought of.

After hearing this, Kyle said seriously: "Lord, on the battlefield, you should put down all moral principles and do whatever it takes to win."

"You are right, war is about defeating the enemy by any means necessary. They bet with their lives, and we are also betting with our lives."

The two stood quietly on the hill, watching the fire engulf Copper Mountain City until nightfall.

In the next half month, the area around Tongshan City completely calmed down.

Everyone knows that these cave dwarves hiding in dark corners will not give up and are definitely plotting some conspiracy.

Without Weilin's orders, Moncas and others patrolled the military camp and inspected the granaries every day.

Under the ruins of Tongshan City, several cave dwarf tribe elders gathered together to plot a new way out.
