Chapter 489 The Unlucky Dwarf Kingdom
Matthew is very aware of the current situation of the dwarf kingdom. To sum it up in two words, that is - unlucky!
The dwarf kingdom was not only besieged by the drow army, but the latter launched a war to conquer the underground world.
Its main purpose is not only to attack the dwarf kingdom, but also to compete for several major entrances to the surface world.
Their ultimate goal is to please Rose and launch a brazen attack on the Elf Kingdom of Cole.
At this time, in the surface world, no force except Matthew would think that the drow elves have such courage and strength.
However, these drow elves will soon surprise everyone.
In addition to them, the dwarf kingdom and the gray dwarves who refused to give in also had conflicts.
The reasons for the conflict are actually somewhat dumbfounding.
The gray dwarves were fleeing for their lives, but apart from escaping from the territory controlled by the drow, they could only go to the dwarf kingdom.
As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmon.
Compared with the drow elves who have formed a large army, the dwarf kingdom that is being attacked by the drow elves is obviously a soft persimmon that is easier to control.
If there were only these two enemies, the dwarf kingdom would still be able to hold on with its thousands of years of heritage and strength.
However, many major events occurred within the dwarf kingdom, which prevented them from showing their strength.
Not only do they want to ask for help from the Netheril Empire, but they may also have asked for help from the Kor Elf Kingdom.
Interestingly, the dwarf kingdom, which wanted to save face and suffer the consequences, did not tell these two allies the specific situation.
He has been stubbornly holding on until recently, when he couldn't hold on anymore and was captured by the drow army and captured several cities, he began to ask for help.
Even at this point, the dwarf kingdom is still unwilling to tell its allies what turmoil has occurred within them.
Matthew does know what is going on inside the dwarf kingdom. In fact, the problem is very simple.
That's food!
As we all know, the underground world is very rich in mineral resources.
The dwarf kingdom occupies a large area of rich mining area and has been obsessed with prospecting and mining for thousands of years.
There is no doubt about the strength of their army, their forging technology is unmatched, and their weapons and equipment are quite powerful.
Even against the drow army and gray dwarves, we still have the confidence to not fall behind.
But because of this, the dwarf kingdom does not attach much importance to agricultural production.
There are several reasons.
First, in an underground world where light is scarce and soil resources are poor, growing food is inherently a big problem.
Except for the drow who use magic, other forces basically have the hidden worry of food shortage.
Second, the dwarves’ planting technology is not very good to begin with.
These rough but careful big guys are good at blacksmithing and forging equipment.
Transplanting rice seedlings and weeding are not their strengths.
Third, the dwarves rely mostly on the Netheril Empire and the Cole Elf Kingdom for their food.
Here comes the "coincidence".
The Empire of Netheril was invaded by orcs, and the important grain-producing area of the Kal Plain was in chaos. Building and training an army also required a large amount of food supplies.
For a time, there was really not enough quantity to supply to the dwarf kingdom.
If only the Netheril Empire's supplies were cut off, the Dwarf Kingdom would still be able to sustain itself.
But the Cole Elf Kingdom is also restless!
They are now mobilizing supplies and troops to turn their backs on the El elves, trying to annex them in one fell swoop and unify the entire northern elves.
Moreover, the Cole Elf Kingdom, which has always regarded itself as the boss, is not interested in the increasingly powerful Dwarf Kingdom.
They are thinking of using various means to beat each other.
With such a "two-pronged approach", wouldn't the dwarf kingdom be in serious trouble?
Moreover, for various reasons, the dwarf kingdom was really embarrassed to tell its two allies about its lack of food.
The reason why Matthew can know is naturally because of other players.
Many players can't help but laugh at the dwarves, thinking that it is their stubbornness and stubbornness that have harmed them.
Matthew Dao disagrees with this point.
Dwarves have such a personality.
They will not change, nor will they in the future.
However, Matthew knew very well that the dwarf ambassador's trip to Sewenden to ask for help was destined to return in vain.
The Council of Sewendon, which is currently struggling, really cannot spare the resources and energy to support the dwarf kingdom.
The next few months.
The Sewendon Council will devote a large amount of resources and troops to rebuild the Scarlet Fortress.
In order to block the next possible offensive of the orcs, we must protect the Carr Plain and the Eastern Province.
Also in order to avoid being attacked by the eastern and western orc armies at the same time.
The Third Army and the Eighth Army will be replenished and renovated.
This news was secretly revealed to Matthew by Carlos.
The latter hopes that the Gulf Territory will provide a sufficient share of magic equipment for their newly recruited soldiers.
The South has not stopped either.
The battle between the two great arcanists also involves a lot of experience and resources.
Not to mention.
The turmoil and rebellion in several demiplanes have restrained most of the effective forces of the Netheril Empire.
At this time, the Cole Elf Kingdom must be smiling very happily.
They are eager for the Netheril Empire to "make a fool of themselves".
That's right, the turmoil in other demiplanes is all secretly caused by the Cole Elf Kingdom.
Several years later, many players received special tasks and learned part of the truth hidden behind them.
At that time, many players still felt a little strange.
The Elven Kingdom of Kor, which has a good relationship with the Netheril Empire, why does it want to attack it?
Until many archaeological players conducted some research and analysis.
I was surprised to find that at this point in time, the conflict of interest between the two was actually inevitable.
If the Elf Kingdom of Cole knew what they would encounter next, they would definitely regret targeting the Netherese Empire.
It's a pity that they don't know!
The Netheril Empire, which is currently in dire straits, will naturally not spend a lot of material and financial resources to support the dwarf kingdom.
Because now they can’t even protect themselves.
However, this does not prevent Matthew from making friends with these dwarves.
Since the Netheril Empire was unable to provide support, Matthew naturally took action.
He wants to do a good business deal with these dwarves.
If Matthew can satisfy the appetite of these dwarves, he will win a large number of orders to support the dwarves.
Then, the Gulf Territory can obtain a lot of materials and wealth, and embark on the fast track of development.
This is why he spent so much time preparing.
Seeing that several dwarves were almost drunk, Beelzebub was also very drunk, and Matthew did not forget to wink at Old John behind him.
The latter understood the idea and brought in a group of strong men. He almost pointed at these dwarves and said:
"Give it to me."
With the dwarf's competitive character, he only waited for Old John to tease him a few words before he forced himself to drink again.
Half an hour later, all the outsiders were unconscious.
After listening to Matthew's complete plan, the great arcanist Kenomanor also smiled and patted his shoulder:
Chapter completed!
