The dwarfs suffered losses in the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range and had to abandon their plan to invade the Western Territory, turning instead to attack the Golden Valley.
They relied on surprise attacks, winning several battles early on. However, once the nobles of the Golden Valley came to their senses, led by the Campbell Family, they quickly dealt a heavy blow to the dwarfs.
Both sides engaged in fierce battles around the Long Neck River, with the nobles of the Golden Valley gradually gaining the upper hand, but then the Pangluosi Family also sided with Solomon.
They marched from the Elk Valley, advancing swiftly and eventually trapping the local soldiers between them and the dwarfs across the river.
The nobles of the Golden Valley held on for four days despite the dire situation, but were finally defeated on the morning of the fifth day.
Duke Theodore, the head of the Campbell Family, was captured and sent to Lion Heart Castle, where Solomon quickly ordered his execution.
