In the beginning, the big figures of Picturesque Orchid Lake did not think that the "black dwarfs" were too big of a problem.
After all, everyone knew how narrow and terrible the living space in the depths of Fang Mountain Range was.
Whether it was the way of life in Picturesque Orchid Lake or the Land of Holy Light, there was not enough land to develop and support a powerful race.
The great chief and the wise high priests did not even think that the "black dwarfs" were a new race.
Instead, they treated them as a small group of harassing troops secretly transported to the back of Picturesque Orchid Lake by the Holy Light Temple, or rat people who had escaped Picturesque Orchid Lake. They had become deformed and ugly after thousands of years of metamorphosis, hence they were simply beyond recognition.
As for how many towns had been conquered by the Black Dwarves?
This was extremely normal!
