The rise of land price, although mildly, leads to the suffer of many peasants.

Can although be used in this way? Thank you.:shock:

No, it's not.

The effect on many peasants of the rise in the price of land, although mild, was still noticeable.
His tone of voice, although soft, carried a lot of authority.
