The Battle of Valaya’s Gate finally ended with the retreat of the participating troops. As a result, the expeditionary army defended the Valaya’s Gate and repelled the attacks of the Greenskins, the Ratmen, and the Undead. Despite the heavy losses, they basically Accomplishing one's own strategic goals can be regarded as an out-and-out tragic victory.

As for the expeditionary force, Belegar’s army of five thousand dwarves was continuously protected by Valaya, and only 800 people were killed, and there were more than 4,200, and they were in full condition. Dwarf Rune Craftsman Srudd -The Honest One is promoted to Master Rune and Lord Rune in one fell swoop, becoming another sanctuary powerhouse.

With regard to the human army, the casualty rate of the knights and the knights' followers was barely acceptable. The four thousand knights who participated in the war suffered less than one thousand casualties. The knights' defenders suffered more than 1,800 casualties. The four battalions of the old guards were 1,500. After the count of more than one hundred people, only a thousand were left, and the serf infantry regiment suffered the most damage. The original 15 serf infantry regiments were reorganized and only eight were left unsatisfied. Nearly half were killed in the battle. There are only less than 8,000 of the more than 16,000 serf infantry soldiers left.

As for the mercenaries, Kislov’s sea soul guards were completely wiped out, Leonardo’s panther group was completely disbanded, and this guy took the remaining two hundred people to protect the eagle flag and directly supported from Karad. The direction fled, did not enter the Valaya Gate.

30% of the rangers were killed in action.

After counting the casualties, after the expeditionary army participated in the battle of Valaya Gate, including Belega's more than 4,000 troops, it has been reduced from the original 35,000 to about 20,000.

Skarsnick and its evil moon clan participated in the battle with 60,000 troops. When they withdrew back to Bafeng Mountain, they were already less than 25,000. The evil moon clan lost a large number of green-skinned warriors in the battle of Valaya Gate. Fighting with the Green Boys, the powerful Anakenari giant spider battle group was also lost, and the troll legion remained in the tunnel, but the cunning Skasnik did not invest in the most elite black orc legion. And its squad of dark night goblins "Eight Peak Mountain Fanatic".

The right-clawed headhunter of the Skaven Moss clan also lost more than 20,000 in this war. The five storm rats and six dimensional lightning cannons were destroyed. The headhunter Quik had already directed himself to Karak. -The Moss clan territory in Hongyun Mountain seeks reinforcements.

When Nephrata set off from Silver Peak Mountain, the countless army of undead soldiers finally escaped the pursuit of Kalida, and when she returned to Silver Peak Mountain, there were only a dozen Lamian female vampires from the Lamian Sisterhood. , As for Kalida and her Legion of Lebarras, the losses are not great, but this is something for the future.

At this time, Ryan and the others who had withdrawn into the Valaya Gate had no time to consider the affairs of Kalida and Nephrata.

Two hours later, within the deep and quiet earth vein network.

Behind the Valaya Gate is a brand new dwarven network network. Although it has gone through a very long period of time, the network network behind the door has indeed not suffered any attack or earthquake impact, and many ancient runes can still operate.

At the top of the tunnel, under the guidance of the rune power of the dwarf rune master Sludd, the ancient rune stones began to shine, and a great underground city fortress gradually appeared in front of the expeditionary army. The area of ​​this city fortress is not particularly large, only There is a main fort and two sub-forts built in a deep mountain cave, covering an area of ​​less than one hectare. The mother **** Valaya, one of the three main gods of the dwarves, is located in front of the underground city fortress. From the looks of it, this is a short, squat, dwarf female with a slender figure.

On a statue, the mother goddess of the dwarf wears a pointed two-cornered round helmet with two large braids, a breastplate and chain armor, and is fully armed, holding a rune battle axe and shield in her hand.

On the other statue, Valaya wears a loose robe with a baby in her arms and is feeding the baby beer.

This is pretty dwarf.

Bellegar-Iron Hammer led all the dwarves of the Angland clan to kneel to pay tribute to this great mother god. If it hadn’t been for this mother **** to enlighten and protect the dwarven army, in such a tragic war, they would have broken It is impossible to pay more than 800 casualties.

The human army was silent. The knights with ragged armor followed the king and bowed collectively, expressing respect for the dwarf ancestor god. Valaya’s power not only blessed the dwarves, but also helped humans, Nephrata and The undead magic that her undead army has always been invincible is also eclipsed by Valaya's power, unable to resurrect the dead for her use, which is also a great help to the human army.

A two-hundred-meter-long bridge leads directly to the gate of the fortress. The luminous stones on both sides echo each other. The newly promoted dwarf sanctuary rune master Slud-the Honest one walks in the forefront and introduces Ryan and Bellega: "Valaya The main temple, also known as the city of Valaya, is a masterpiece of ancient dwarf rune craftsmen, and the only remaining main temple of the three main ancestors is not built in the kingdom of mountains."

"Valaya inspired me in the illusion. She brought me strength and courage." The army crossed the long castle bridge, and the Srudd-Honesty lit up the runes, and the sound of the organ runner was accompanied by smoke and courage. Dust, a wide and grand hall appeared in front of everyone.

The army began to camp in this empty dwarf city. The exhausted human army immediately looked for a place to rest in the castle. They fetched water from the underground river of the main temple, ate a meal with dry food, and fell asleep. Some soldiers fell asleep directly on the ground without time to take off their armor.

Ryan was also unknowable. He arranged for a while and cleaned the wound in a bath, looking for a side room to rest.

The dwarves are very energetic. Seeing the army of knights are very exhausted. The dwarves took the initiative to take on the task of patrolling and guarding. Among them, the direction of the Valaya Gate is the key defense object, but the dwarf rangers led by Bellegar have discovered the gate for a long time. The collapse of the ancestral hall on the other side has caused the collapse of a whole piece of ground veins outside. It is simply impossible for the green skin, undead or rat people to reopen this piece of ground veins.

Bellegar personally took a group of dwarf rangers on a patrol. The king of the Eight Peaks Mountain fluctuated in his heart. He knew how much Ryan and his knightly army had sacrificed in this battle, if it weren't Valaya's Bless, the dwarves are bound to die and suffer heavy injuries.

After a few hours of patrol, in the deep underground network, Bellegar led the rangers back to the city of Valaya. Oncoming were the Srudd-honest and the dwarf patriarch Berwick-Northstar and him. The North Star Axe Group, a group of iron warriors.

The dwarf patriarch Berwick-North Star was also refreshed. He said to Bellegar: "Your Majesty, we have checked the geonetic network leading to the Titan Gate of Bafeng Mountain. Fortunately, the rune of the ancestors is still working, as long as We need it and can open the way to Bafeng Mountain at any time. If we don’t need it, then no matter the Skaven Rats or the green-skinned guys, they will never want to find the Rune Gate in the smooth rock wall."

"Very well, it seems that we have a peaceful nest for the time being." Bellegar's face was serious, and the King of Bafeng Mountain thought for a while: "Brother Lane, did they wake up?"

"Most human beings are still resting, but His Majesty Lane and the respectable holy grail knights are already up." Berwick Northstar said with respect.

The army of knights has won the respect of all the dwarves through their own hard fights.

"How to fight this war next, we still need to discuss with the Lion brothers." Bellega nodded, and the King of Bafeng Mountain walked into the castle.

In the corner of Valaya City, the holy grail knights are gathering here, and two holy grail knights have returned to the arms of the fairy in the lake forever.

Ryan, who had woken up, knelt on one knee. He silently knelt in front of the relics of many knights. Due to the hasty retreat, many of the knight's bones did not have time to converge and bury.

"Sir Aristide, Sir Froy, Earl Doolin, Baron Lopus... the knight brothers who died in this battle, as well as those old guards and serf infantry who gave their lives for the expedition to Bafeng Mountain Men, they used their sacrifices in exchange for this tragic victory for us." Ryan whispered, and the king closed his eyes in pain.

Behind him, more than two dozen holy grail knights, led by Karad, Federmond, and Antelm, all knelt on one knee to pay tribute to these sacrificed warriors. The old guard commander Bertrand was among them. In the middle, the knights whispered: "Never forget! Never forgive!"

"Vengeance!" Ryan squeezed the nemesis.

"Never forget! Never forgive!!!" The knights shouted again, revenge burning in everyone's eyes.

After a brief mourning, Ryan stood up and took out a weapon: "Everyone, do you know who the owner of this sword is?"

"This is Black Heart Repp's sword, the blood of bravery!" Calade sighed lightly, and he said seriously: "Black Heart Repp... also died in battle."

"He is a respectable soldier. I saw him bravely fight the Skaven warlord headhunter Quik in order to buy time." Federmond also walked up: "Finally lost. ... was killed."

"A respectable warrior." Antelm also came up, and Count Kuilau said loudly: "I am willing to announce on behalf of the knights that the past has been wiped out. He and his independent regiment won ours. respect."

"Honorable warrior!" The knights nodded their heads in agreement, and everyone died. Now that Blackheart Rip is dead, the knights agree that everything ends here. Starting today, they acknowledge Blackheart Rip's contribution and the status of the independent regiment. .

"After Blackheart Rip died in battle, his deputy Durant wanted to **** his body, but he only snatched this." Ryan gave a wink outside, wrapped in many bandages, and walked limping. The abducted Durant leaned on a wooden stick and came in from outside. He took Blackheart Repp's sword from Ryan's hand. He couldn't help crying, and couldn't help crying: "Head!"

Everyone was silent.

The losses in this war were great. The knight masters had sophisticated armors and shields, and they were not so easily killed by penetrating armors. After all, most of the greenskins, ratmen, and undead skeletons had limited armor-breaking ability, but the serf infantry Not so good protection anymore.

Regaining Bafeng Mountain is destined to be an extremely difficult war. To completely recover the entire territory of Bafeng Mountain through one or two decisive battles is simply thinking too much and too simple, otherwise Bellegar would not fail in three attempts to regain Bafeng Mountain. For the second time, with the strong support of the 10,000-strong army of the Supreme King Thorgrin, he invaded the interior of the Bafeng Mountain, and finally had to be forced to retreat.

The expedition is not a treat to dinner, the difficulty of the great expedition to recover Bafeng Mountain is just that, otherwise the rewards would not be so rich.

"We will rest here for a while." Ryan then ordered: "Supplies are enough for the time being. The army needs to rest. Please settle down and heal your wounds. How should we fight next? Wait for us and Bellegar. The king will discuss it."

"Yes!" The knights rushed away.

Ryan turned around again, and the king let out a sigh of relief for a long time.

Ranger commander Ester was also killed in the battle. The news was even after retreating into Valaya Gate and counting the number of people, it was discovered that Ester had not returned, and the half-elves had stayed on the other side of the gate forever. , He didn't leave any last words, and no one even knew how he fell.

The sacrifice of the expedition made Ryan unable to speak for a long time. The Knight King had actually had a foreboding of everything before the expedition. After all, the difficulty of the Bafeng Mountain Expedition was well known, but he was still unable to conceal his grief when faced with this moment.

But the harvest after the **** battle is also rich. After experiencing this truly tragic war, there are more than one hundred knights who have been promoted to the legendary rank alone. A Holy Grail knight and an expeditionary knight break through the legend and advance to the sanctuary.

Even Ryan himself is on the verge of breaking through the sanctuary's higher ranks.

Seventy-three of the old guards were promoted to the legendary rank in one fell swoop after the **** battle.

The sound of high-heeled shoes went from far to near, and a slim figure hugged the Knight King from behind. The smell of rose perfume masked Ryan’s sense of smell, and a gentle voice whispered in Ryan’s ear: "My dear, it's not to blame you, you Do your best. You have accomplished an impossible feat with one enemy and two. That's Nephrata and Gul!"

"Veronica..." Ryan turned around and embraced the Garland Witch. The king whispered, "What's the matter?"

"King Belega called you over, dear." Veronica stood on tiptoe and kissed Ryan's lips: "There is a new discovery in the main temple."

"Well, let's go there together."

Ten minutes later, the main temple of Varaya.

In the magnificent and solemnly organized hall, thousands of ancient runes are shining, and the statue of Valaya stands in the center of the main hall, which is more than forty meters high. Ryan and Belega walk side by side, hundreds of The luminous stone glowed again under the power of the rune, lighting up the entire hall.

The people who came in looked extremely small, passing through the golden arches and glorious promenades, Ryan and others listened to the explanation of the master of rune Sludd.

"Valaya had predicted very early, long ago, that maybe one day, the dwarves will face an unprecedented disaster, and the glory of the mountains will be dimmed. Therefore, the mother **** did not establish her own main temple in the kingdoms of the mountains. Instead, we choose to bury it deep underground. This is to allow our civilization to have a chance to survive in times of crisis."

The door to the armory in the temple was opened, and hundreds of dwarven rune-style equipment could not be seen at a glance. Sludd said with pride: "The temple has a full set of runes enough to equip several dwarven legions. Equipment and weapons. The ancestral rune craftsmen selflessly built these weapons and armors, as well as many exquisite war machines, so that one day they can come in handy. I have started to let those mustaches begin to transform some of the rune equipment. Brother Lane, these equipment will definitely help you, ours."

"Yeah!" Ryan and Belega couldn't stop their excitement, and they nodded repeatedly.

"There is a dwarven forge under the city fortress, which stores three doomsday anvils, hundreds of tons of meteorite and mithril, countless steel and a very complete dwarven weapon forging workshop, and it can also Using it, we can repair our broken equipment and build new armors and weapons here, as well as make new war machines." Before the Srudd-Honesty walked to the statue of the ancestor, he pressed the rune: "This Many functions in the fortress need to be further explored. Although they are ancient technologies, I want to say that these technologies are far more advanced than the Gunshan Kingdom now. I don’t know where they are going."

The rumbling sound resounded, and a huge platform rose from the entire hall. All the people standing on the platform found themselves ascending in place, until they ascended to the second floor of the main hall, the second floor of the main hall of Varaya. , The map of the mountain kingdom of the dwarf people and the frescoes of countless ancestors' great achievements appeared in front of everyone under the shining light of the luminous stone and the divine light of the dwarf ancestors. The ancient dwarf music and singing voices are endless, telling the glory of the mountain kingdom.

Slaughter said in a proud and sorrowful tone: "What we have ascended is the creation of the most glorious era of dwarves. At that time, our civilization was like the most brilliant Grimney star meteorite, shining across the mountains and the world."

On the map of the Kingdom of Gunsan, all the lines of the dense underground network are displayed at a glance.

"All the conditions of the Earth Vein Network Channel have been updated, my king, Brother Lane, now we can prepare our next plan under the guidance of our ancestors."

"Very good!" Bellegar's voice was inexplicably excited, and the king of Bafeng Mountain clenched the holy hammer in his hand: "With the blessing of this castle and Valaya, we will regain Bafeng Mountain and restore us. Home!"
