Durin's Diary

Chapter 622 Run quickly
However, the process is the process and the result is the result. In the final voting stage, the bishops voted first, 175 to 181, and Dulin even had six more votes.

I took a look at the stage and saw that there were three grassland elves on our side and four humans on the opposite side.

There were three left: a dwarf, a halfling, and an old goat of the orc race.

Soon, the four humans and three centrists finished voting.

The Cardinal's vote was worth five votes, so the situation now became one hundred and ninety-five to one hundred and ninety-one.

Don't ask, the only thing you know is that the old goat abstained from voting.

Du Lin sat up straight - no, if we really fight the invasion now, it’s not because we don’t have enough strength. In Du Lin’s opinion, it’s not that we can’t win the battle now, but because we can fight but the losses will be too great.

Wait ten years, and Durin will have trained his soldiers and updated their equipment. By then, each combat mage will be equipped with a ground-licking suit and an air combat suit, and combined with the army's armored forces, and the extraordinary system that will be developed in ten years, Durin is confident that he can squeeze Sidney's brain out of his asshole.

The three grassland elves on the stage had obviously heard Durin's explanation, so they were a little hesitant - they only needed to join Durin's side together, and the invasion would be successful.

But at this moment, a light came on from the ceiling of the hall, and a letter fell from the ceiling, landing right on the cardinal's long table and right in front of the three grassland elves.

The grassland elves looked at the letter, then passed it around the long table with a distressed look on their faces.

In the end they chose to abstain.

The original creator's decree stated that mortals have the right to make mistakes and gave the Clegane family another chance, but the grace is no longer there.

In other words, the original creator, the Nameless One, intervened personally. In order to prevent the war from igniting the entire earth and causing devastation to all living things, he decided to give the Clegane family a chance to see what would happen.

But at the same time, the Nameless One was disgusted with the behavior of the Cleggen family and ordered the withdrawal of favor to the Cleggen family - in other words, the next time the Cleggen family was asked by Durin to invade because of such evil deeds, the church would not provide any assistance to the Cleggen family, and would unconditionally assist Durin.

The whole hall was as quiet as a chicken.

Losing doesn’t feel like losing, and winning doesn’t feel like winning.

It was not until Dulin began to applaud that the bishops woke up from their dreams.

………………

The oracle of the Original Creator quickly spread throughout the earth.

The military orphans were not surprised—even the most radical of them didn't think this invasion would succeed. After all, the Clegane family held divine favor. To have the Clegane family lose that favor was a huge surprise.

In the eyes of the military orphans, as long as the Clegane family, the military, and the nobles continue to fight fiercely, this situation will never change.

Therefore, their mentality was very calm - revenge was not urgent, and this armistice agreement would last for ten years. They did not believe that the Clegane family could get better in these ten years.

For the civilians of various countries (especially Sidney), a ceasefire is the best thing. It means that Master Durin's various new weapons will not fall on their heads, and it once again confirms the kindness of Master Anonymous.

As for the nobles, the horses would keep galloping and the dances would continue; there would be no war. As for what Krigern thought, Durin didn't bother to understand. Even if he understood, it would be useless. The armistice had already been signed by representatives of both sides. If they reneged on their promise, Durin would have to lead the combined forces of the Church of the Twin Mothers, the Primordial Creator, the God of Contract, the Lord of Wisdom, and the God of Nobility into battle.

What? Why do you say there is a god of nobility?

The God of Nobility also has virtues, one of which is honesty. You, Crigen, as a member of the royal family, can still act like this. If the God of Nobility had not expressed his opinion, he would have fallen in minutes.

Unfortunately, everyone was an old fox, and after a few curses in the newspapers, the matter was over.

Durin began to formally recruit the remaining soldiers, and Sydney's army also broke off contact with Durin's side in Switzerland - they had signed an armistice, and it would be unreasonable for anyone to take action again, so Durin's side dispersed faster.

After all, the harvest season is just one or two months away, and the beastmen living in the Swiss region of Durin have not yet completed their full-time work - after all, they are unlucky people who have been used to hardship since childhood. Their counterparts in Lublin are now engaged in mechanized production and have become accustomed to a machine doing their work of a week in a day, and have devoted more energy to the training of the full-time army.

As a landlord in Lublin, Dulin gave them free arable land, free use of machinery, and even exempted their output from taxes for three years.

The large group of orcs who came to Durin were almost ready to recognize Durin as their biological father.

Du Lin was also very clear about this. Families with children in the army were exempt from 30% of the agricultural tax, those with two children were exempt from 70%, and those with three children were exempt from all taxes.

Of course, young families with only one child might sound disadvantaged because the military doesn't accept only children.

However, as long as a family gives birth to a child within two years, the Ministry of Reproduction can still exempt the family from 30% of the tax.

Life in Dulin's territory is generally better than in other places, and the fertility rate has always been far ahead of other places. Although Lublin has many ethnic groups and a complex composition, it has no problems as long as there is a strong man like Dulin. As for the future, Dulin wants to see which scheming guy can outlive him.

By the end of August and the beginning of September, Durin had received several clans of craftsmen from the gnomes and dwarves - they were all small bastards that split off from the larger clans because there were too many people. Durin arranged them to be neighbors.

One was arranged on the top of the hill and the other nearby, and they were given blueprints of the castle and residential area.

Dwarves and gnomes are naturally incompatible. It's not that they are mortal enemies, but both sides think that the other's craftsmen are just some kind of... useless things that are inconvenient to describe.

Du Lin made all the arrangements for them. Once they finished building their house, he would give them the blueprints and let them compete with their neighbors.

If it were two other races, Du Lin would not dare to play like this, but if Du Lin arranged it like this for these two races, they would be very happy instead - because they have been living like this for so many years.

And they also have a common link in the contempt chain - that is the halflings.

They felt that the so-called technology that the halflings were playing with was nothing more than something dug out from the cesspool of the old era. It was obviously a good thing, but it imitated a rubbish product, which was extremely shameful.

Of course, the halfling said that the two dwarfs were funny, right? I'm dealing with cutting-edge technology. A stone block that makes guns and cannons and a waste who makes explosives with such a large equivalent that they can kill fishermen, you must be envious, right?

Durin was not idle either. He arranged the newly recruited halflings to the two nearby plains.

This area will be considered a new city in the future.
