The Vampire Female Knight answered quietly:
"The Earth Priests have looked into it; those two positions have been tunneled by Gnolls underground, and they can launch surprise attacks from below at any time. The Priests think we should collapse the two positions to prevent the Wolf People from using those passages."
"Collapse it? What a foolish idea! The Silver Dwarfs have been at peace for too long, their thinking has regressed—utterly stupid like dung beetles underground, rolled around all day only to give me this pile of garbage advice?"
Lord Hether cursed with the unique profanity of the Shield Dwarfs:
"Because Gnolls dug tunnels, should I voluntarily abandon two positions? If the Wolf People continue to adopt such tunneling tactics afterward, am I supposed to give up all twelve positions?
This is clearly a conspiracy by the Wolf People; they use this method to force us back!
No!
We will not retreat!
We Dwarfs are never afraid to confront enemies on Mother Earth's domain.
