Just as the Tang Army was redeploying troops, the atmosphere in places like Linshui was becoming slightly tense. It was impossible for the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops to happen without any leaks.
Soon, the already alert Dwarves caught a whiff of something amiss. In the Dwarven embassy in Chang'an, an intelligence officer was the last to step into the basement, closing the heavy door behind him.
This was a secret underground meeting room constructed by the Dwarves, recently equipped with soundproofing to prevent any eavesdropping.
As soon as the door closed, the room fell silent, and a Dwarf intelligence officer quickly began to report his latest findings: "I bribed a worker in the Linshui Port's cold chain system. He took a look at the supply distribution list for me. He is quite certain that the amount of meat delivered to the Armored Division is enough to feed 30,000 people for a month."
