Durin's Diary

Chapter 619: What is the continuation of war?
Before the war horn was sounded, the media had already begun to choose sides.

Needless to say, everyone in the northern part of Sidney was well aware of this, and the Northern Kingdom, in the spirit of "whoever can embarrass the southern barbarians of Sidney is one of their own", hadn't even opened its mouth when the media from both sides started criticizing each other.

The Paris Times lashed out at the northern barbarians for their unchanging slave-trading nature, while the Copenhagen Herald denounced Sidney as a southern barbarian who had lost the support of the people and degenerated into the same state as the previous dynasty.

Then newspapers from all over the country began to join in spontaneously, and both sides began to attack each other with clear banners.

In June, Du Lin officially announced the expansion of the army.

The new herding season of the Great Forest has arrived. In April, Durin handed his dragon horn to Yara. The tigress returned to her hometown and told the major herds preparing to split more than once that Elder Durin needed every new herd - the horn of war has been sounded.

Many elders who were not from powerful war clans were tempted. Although they were not from war clans, it was an indisputable fact that the bastards in Du Lin's hands were as good at fighting as the dogs.

The large group under their control was already overcrowded, and this time, almost all the elders of the large group decided to split up the group - led by their best children.

These are all very outstanding children, who were originally intended to stay in the large group to be their brother's assistants, but this time, the war horn from Lord Durin sounded among the mountains, and he wanted to punish his enemies!
So the newly divided groups were moving towards Lublin.

Dühring paid for a large amount of grain - the Great Heath and the Austrian-Swiss Union made up the remaining gap.

Fortunately, he made a lot of money from the arms business in recent years, but even so, Du Lin was still a little stretched.

In addition, in the Swiss region, Dulin's army is really composed of rabbit and antelope orc troops. In all the frictions in western Switzerland in the past two months, Dulin's orc troops have been fighting on the front line, especially the three first-class light infantry divisions of the rabbit species, which have beaten Sidney's several mountain light infantry divisions into a pulp.

They all moved to Lublin as a large group last year. As a large group of rabbits under the name of Elder Dulin, the young people in the tribe have undergone more than half a year of training.

In the large-scale firefight at the end of May, the battlefield observation team of the God of War made a statistics. In the battalion-level confrontation, the Sidney light infantry was comprehensively inferior to the beastman light infantry under Durin. It was an indisputable fact that the recent large-scale desertion of non-commissioned officers and lieutenants of the Sidney people caused a decline in combat effectiveness. However, the Toby rabbits under Durin still dared to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Sidney people despite the numerical disadvantage.

This is something we never saw before - everyone said rabbits were timid.

Especially on the last day of May, on this day, Sidney's front-line contact troops began a tacit attack.

In the end, the Swiss Guards responsible for border defense, with the help of the rabbit-type light infantry, used bayonets to drive away the Sidney light infantry and captured La Clus.

This was the starting point of the attack by Sidney's Southeast Group. After careful consideration, the front-line commander decided to retreat.

But it was this attack that caused both sides to start mobilizing forces from the rear like crazy.

And Durin soon declared an invasion to the gods.

It’s different from the last time. Last time, the stupid king of Austria was a human trafficker, so the Twin Mothers and Anonymous just needed to be convicted.

But this time it is a serious declaration of invasion. Several powerful gods must be found, and none of them can be missing (one missing is actually not a big deal, but no more than two can be missing), and if they are familiar to Durin, Durin must also make a declaration.

Therefore, Durin immediately presented his reasons to the Church of the Twin Mothers - the Clegane family had failed to live up to the Saint's instructions and allowed others to bully the civilians. Durin Elsh would lead the army to punish the criminals.

This is a difficult question to answer. The Church of the Twin Mothers is a gathering place for farmers. The bishop said that he would have to have an internal discussion on whether to agree or not.

Of course, there is a high possibility that it will just be a formality.

That’s no problem, Du Lin can wait.

The reason he presented to the Church of the God of Vengeance was that the hatred of the orphans had raged for so long that, as a follower of the God of Vengeance and leader of the Triumvirate, Du Lin could not sit idly by and watch. He must make those responsible pay with blood. The God of Vengeance was helpless. "I'm known for killing without burying. If you want to fight, don't ask me. If you want to kill, I allow it. Do whatever you want."

Du Lin had no choice. After all, we are familiar with each other. I will treat you to a drink next time.

Du Lin didn't want to find the God of Nobility at first - this time Du Lin declared war on the aristocratic royal family for the sake of ordinary mortals, and he was looking for the God of Nobility just because he was bored.

But there is no way. No matter how much the God of Nobility is slapped in the face by the Anonymous Person, he is still a real God after all. A mortal like Du Lin must give face to the God.

Du Lin sent a messenger to deliver the letter.

Perhaps it was because Durin had demonstrated his strength before, this time the representative of the Church of the God of Nobility received the letter and said that the church would not agree to this matter, but Lord Durin, don't worry, the declaration of war has always been about the minority obeying the majority, as long as the majority of gods agree, the God of Nobility will also acquiesce.

Well, since you speak in a nice voice, Du Lin is not stubborn. You are really a god, right? I will give you face.

The reason given to the Church of the God of War was the simplest - the strong should severely humiliate the weak.

The bishops of the Church of the God of War were all grinning from ear to ear - what Durin said would be considered disobedience in other churches, but in the eyes of the God of War, this sentence could be considered a classic quote.

So the bishop said that more discussion was needed, but he assured Du Lin that with just this sentence, he would definitely convince his colleagues in the meeting to choose to stand on Du Lin's side.

Next is the god of art, beauty and love.

After receiving Dulin's letter, the church expressed neutrality.

Du Lin doesn't expect you to stand on his side, just refrain from scolding him.

The final highlight is the Church of the Original Creator where the Anonymous is located.

This church is full of monsters and demons, including those from bishops' conferences in various countries. For example, this time, in addition to Durin's request for an invasion declaration, the Sidney Bishops' Conference is also pushing for the declaration that Durin is interfering in Sidney's domestic affairs.

The church was also troubled by these two families - on these two matters, the bishops of the Eastern Elf Territory and Sydney were determined to fight at the cardinals' meeting, while the bishops of the grassland elves and the bishops of the Great Forest Orcs firmly stood on Durin's side in this matter.

Although Sidney and his human party are seemingly united but actually divided, they still don't want to let Durin succeed in this matter - with today's example, everyone will be in trouble in the future.

Finally, the head of the church said that if you don’t work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, he won’t work on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays, and there won’t even be a day off on weekends.

How about this? Next Monday, I will hold a cardinals' meeting. Both sides will invite representatives. Whoever makes the right argument will be determined by votes, and the winner will eliminate the other party's demands.

The human side stated that if Durin lost, he would have to sign a peace treaty prohibiting invasion.

Although they are at a numerical disadvantage in the College of Cardinals, the grassland elves also stated that if they really lose, the matter of Durin's invasion will not be mentioned for ten years, but you should not even think about counterattack.

After both parties discussed it, it was okay.

Humans thought that if this matter could be delayed for ten years, perhaps with the nature of the grassland elves, the past grudges would be forgotten. After all, the grassland elves were not dwarves, so there was no reason for them to write grudges in books every day.

The grassland elves said that the head of the church and the College of Cardinals will be replaced in ten years. I would like to wish you all a long life.
