The Battle of Valaya's Gate finally ended with the retreat of the participating troops. Judging from the results, the expeditionary force defended the Wallaya's Gate and repelled the attacks of the Greenskins, Ratmen, and Undead successively. Although they suffered heavy losses, they basically Completing his own strategic goal can be regarded as an out-and-out tragic victory.

In terms of the expeditionary army, the 5,000 dwarf army of Bellegar was constantly protected by Valaya, only more than 800 people were killed, and there were more than 4,200 people, and they were in full condition. The dwarf rune craftsman Slud - The honest person is promoted to rune master and rune lord in one fell swoop, becoming another strong man in the sanctuary.

In terms of the human army, the casualty rate of the knights and knight retinues was barely acceptable. The casualties of the 4,000 knights participating in the battle were less than 1,000, the casualties of the knight retinues were more than 1,800, and the four battalions of the Old Guards had 1,500 casualties. After counting more than 100 people, only 1,000 people remained, and the serf infantry regiment suffered the heaviest loss. After reorganization, only less than eight of the original 15 serf infantry regiments remained, and nearly half of them died in battle. Of the more than 16,000 serf infantry, only less than 8,000 remained.

In terms of mercenaries, Kislev's sea soul guards were wiped out, Leonardo's leopard regiment was completely dispersed, and this guy led the remaining 200 people to support the eagle flag directly from Calad The direction escaped and did not enter the gate of Valaya.

Thirty percent of the rangers were killed.

After counting the casualties, after the expeditionary army participated in the Battle of Valaya's Gate, counting the more than 4,000 troops of Belgar, the original 35,000 people have been reduced to about 20,000.

Skarsnik and its Xieyue clan participated in the battle with a force of 60,000. When they retreated to Bafeng Mountain, it was less than 25,000. The Xieyue clan lost a large number of green-skinned big guy war gangs in the battle of Valaya Gate With the Greenskin Boys and the powerful Anaknari Giant Spiders, the troll army remained in the tunnel, but the cunning Skarsnik did not invest in the most elite black orc army. And its personal guard, the night goblin "Eight Peaks Mountain Wilderness".

Quek, the right-clawed headhunter of the Skaven Moss clan, also lost more than 20,000 in this war. Five storm rats and six dimensional lightning cannons were destroyed. -The territory of the Moss clan in Red Cloud Mountain seeks reinforcements.

When Neferata set off from Silver Peak Mountain, the countless undead army finally escaped Khalida and returned to Silver Peak Mountain, only a dozen Lamian female vampires from the Lamian Sisterhood remained. ,

As for the loss of Khalida and her Lybaras Legion, it is not very big, but that is another story.

At this time, Ryan and others who withdrew into the Valaya Gate had no time to think about Khaleda and Neferata.

Two hours later, within the deep and quiet ley line network.

Behind the Gate of Valaya is a brand-new dwarf leyline network road. Although it has gone through a very long time, the leyline network road behind the gate has indeed not been affected by any attack or earthquake, 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 Sluder, the ancient rune stones began to glow, and a great underground city gradually appeared in front of the expeditionary army. There is a main castle and two sub-forts built in a deep mountain cave, covering an area of ​​less than one hectare. Two statues of the mother goddess Valaya, one of the three main gods of the dwarves, are located in front of the underground fortress. From the appearance, this is a short, fat, dwarf woman with a pier body.

On one statue, the goddess of the dwarves wears a pointed two-horned round helmet, combs two big braids, wears a breastplate and chain armor, is fully armed, and holds a rune battle ax and a shield in her hand.

Another statue shows Varaya wearing a loose gown, holding a baby in her arms and feeding the baby beer.

That's pretty dwarf.

Belgar-Iron Hammer led all the dwarves of the Angrund clan to kneel down and pay tribute to this great mother goddess. If this mother goddess had not inspired and protected the dwarf army, in such a tragic war, they would never have It is impossible to pay more than 800 casualties.

The human army was silent, and the knights in tattered armor followed the king and bowed collectively, expressing their respect for the ancestor god of the dwarves. The power of Valaya not only blessed the dwarves, but also helped humans. Neferata and Her undead army's always invincible undead magic is also eclipsed by the power of Valaya, unable to resurrect the dead for her use, which is also a great help to the human army.

The more than 200-meter-long bridge leads directly to the gate of the fortress, and the luminous stones on both sides echo each other. The newly promoted Dwarf Sanctuary Rune Master Slud-The Honest Man walked in the front and introduced to Ryan and Bellegar: "Valaya The main temple, also known as the city of Valaya, is the masterpiece of ancient dwarf rune craftsmen, and the only remaining main temple of the three major ancestors that was not built in the mountain kingdom."

"Varaja enlightened me in the illusion, and she brought me strength and courage." The army crossed the long castle bridge, Slud - the honest man lit the runes, and the sound of the mechanism wheel was accompanied by smoke and Dust, a wide and grand hall was displayed in front of everyone.

The army began to set up camp in this empty dwarven fortress. 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, had a hasty meal with dry food, and then fell into a deep sleep , Some soldiers didn't even have time to take off their armor, and fell asleep on the ground.

Ryan was also wounded badly. After a little arrangement, he took a bath and cleaned the wound, and found a side hall to rest.

The dwarves were very energetic. They were very tired after seeing the knight army. The dwarves took the initiative to undertake the task of patrolling and sentry. Among them, the direction of the gate of Valaya was the key defense object, but the dwarf rangers led by Bellega found the gate after a long time. The collapse of the ancestral hall on the other side has already caused the collapse of the entire external leyline network. It is simply impossible for the greenskins, undead, or ratmen to reopen this leyline network.

Bellega personally led a group of dwarf rangers on patrol, and the King of Eight Peaks' heart fluctuated. He knew how much sacrifice Ryan and his chivalry army had made in this battle, and if it wasn't for Valaya's Blessed, the dwarves are bound to suffer heavy casualties.

After several hours of patrolling, within the deep ley line network, Belegar led the rangers back to the city of Valaya, and the oncoming ones were Slud, the honest man, and the dwarf patriarch, Perrick-Northern Star. The Northern Star Axe Group, a group of iron-breaking warriors.

The dwarf patriarch Berik-Northern Star was also in good spirits, and he said to Bellegar: "Your Majesty, we have checked the leyline network road leading to the Titan's Gate on Eight Peaks Mountain. Fortunately, the runes of the ancestors are still in operation. As long as If we need it, we can open the passage to Mount Eight Peaks at any time, if we don’t need it, then neither the Skaven nor the green-skinned guys will be able to find the Rune Gate from the smooth rock wall.”

"Very good, it seems that we have a safe nest for the time being." Bellega's face was serious, and the King of Eight Peaks Mountain thought for a while: "Brother Ryan, are they awake?"

"Most of the humans are still resting, but His Majesty Ryan and the venerable Holy Grail Knights have already woken up." Berrick-Northern Star said respectfully.

The army of knights has earned the respect of all dwarves through their hard work.

"We still need to discuss with Brother Ryan about how to fight this war." Bellegar nodded, and walked into the castle.

In the corner of the city of Valaya, the Holy Grail knights are gathering here, and two Holy Grail knights have returned to the embrace of the fairy in the lake forever.

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

"Sir Aristide, Sir Froy, Earl Durin, Baron Lopes... the knight brothers who died in this battle, and those old guards and serf infantry who gave their lives for the expedition to Mount Eight Peaks They used their sacrifices to exchange for this tragic victory for us." Ryan whispered, and the king closed his eyes in pain.

Behind him, more than 20 holy grail knights headed by Calad, Federmond, and Antelm all knelt on one knee to pay tribute to these sacrificed warriors, and the commander of the old guard Bertrand was also among them. , the knights whispered: "Never forget! Never forgive!"

"Revenge!" Ryan gripped Nemesis.

"Never forget! Never forgive!!!" The knights shouted again, and everyone's eyes were burning with the fire of revenge.

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

"This is the sword of Blackheart Leip, the blood of valor!" Calade sighed softly, and he said seriously: "Blackheart Leip... also died in battle."

"He is a respectable warrior. I saw him bravely fighting the Skaven warlord, Headhunter Quick, in order to buy time." Fedmond also came up: "Finally Lost...to be killed."

"A respectable warrior." Anthelm also came up, and Earl Kuilau said in a loud voice: "On behalf of the knights, I would like to announce that the past is wiped out. He and his independent regiment have won our battle. respect."

"Respectable warrior!" The knights nodded their heads in agreement. Since the black-hearted Lepp is dead, the knights agree to stop here. Starting today, they recognize the black-hearted Lepp's contribution and the status of the independent group. .

"After Black Heart Rip died in battle, his deputy Durant wanted to get his body back, but he only got this one back." Ryan gave a wink to the outside, with many bandages on his body, walking with a limp The abducted Durant came in from the outside leaning on a wooden stick. He took the black-hearted Repp's saber from Ryan's hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "Captain!"

Everyone is silent.

The war suffered a lot this time. The knights have excellent armor and shields, so they are not so easy to be killed by penetrating armor. After all, most of the green skins, ratmen and undead skeletons have limited armor-piercing ability, but the serf infantry Not so well protected anymore.

Recovering Bafeng Mountain is destined to be an extremely difficult war. It is simply too much thinking and too simple to completely recover the entire territory of Bafeng Mountain through one or two decisive battles. Otherwise, Bellegar would not have tried to regain Bafeng Mountain three times and failed. The second time, with the strong support of Supreme King Thorgreen's 10,000 troops, he entered the interior of Bafeng Mountain, and was forced to retreat in the end.

Expeditions are not about treating guests to dinner. This is the difficulty of the Great Expedition to recover Bafeng Mountain, otherwise the rewards would not be so generous.

"Let's rest here for a while." Ryan then ordered: "The supplies are not enough for the time being, and the army needs to rest. Please settle down first and heal your wounds. How to fight next will wait for us and Bellegar The king discusses it."

"Yes!" The knights scattered.

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

The commander of the rangers, Estelle, also died in battle. The news was that after retreating into the Valaya Gate, when the number of people was counted, it was discovered that Estelle had not returned, and the half-elf 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 King of Knights actually had a premonition of all the situation before the expedition. After all, the difficulty of the expedition to Bafeng Mountain is well known, but he still couldn't hide his grief when facing this moment.

But the harvest after the bloody battle is also rich. After experiencing this truly tragic war, there are more than a hundred knights who have been promoted to the legendary rank alone. A holy grail knight and an expedition knight broke through the legend and advanced to the sanctuary.

Even Ryan himself is on the verge of breaking through to the high level of the sanctuary.

Seventy-three of the old guards were promoted to the legendary rank after the bloody battle.

The sound of high-heeled shoes came from far to near, and a slim figure hugged the King of Knights from behind. The smell of rose perfume covered Ryan's sense of smell, and a gentle voice whispered in Ryan's ear: "Honey, it's not your fault, you Try your best, you have accomplished the impossible with one against two, Neferata and Gul!"

"Veronica..." Ryan turned around and embraced Witch Garland in his arms. The king said softly, "What's the matter?"

"King Bellegar told you to come over, dear." Veronica stood on tiptoe and kissed Ryan on the lips: "There are new discoveries in the main temple."

"Well, let's go together."

Ten minutes later, the main temple of Varaya.

In the magnificent, solemn and well-organized hall, thousands of ancient runes are shining. The statue of Valaya stands in the center of the hall, which is more than forty meters high. Ryan and Bellegar walk side by side, hundreds of Under the power of runes, a luminous stone re-glowed, lighting up the entire hall.

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

"Varaja predicted very long ago that maybe one day, the dwarves would face unprecedented disasters and the brilliance of the mountains would be dimmed, so the mother goddess did not build her main temple on those mountain kingdoms. Instead of guilt, we chose to bury it deep underground, in order to give our civilization a chance to survive in times of crisis."

The gate of the arsenal in the temple was opened, and there were hundreds of rows of dwarf rune-style equipment that could not be seen at a glance. Sluder said proudly: "The temple has a full set of runes that can equip several dwarf legions. Equipment and weapons, the ancestral rune craftsmen have selflessly built these weapons and armor, as well as many exquisite war machines, in order to be useful one day, I have already started to let those mustaches begin to modify part of the rune equipment, Brother Lane, these equipment will definitely help you and us."

"Yeah!" Both Ryan and Bellegar couldn't help being excited, and they nodded repeatedly.

"There is a dwarven forge at the base of the city, which stores three doomsday anvils, hundreds of tons of meteoric iron and mithril, countless steel and a very complete dwarven weapon forging workshop, and can also Use, we can repair our broken equipment and create new armor and weapons here, as well as make new war machines." Sluder-The Honest Man walked up to the statue of the ancestor god, and he pressed the rune: "This Many functions in this fortress need to be further explored, although it is an ancient technology, but I want to say that these technologies are more advanced than the Kingdom of the Mountains, so I don’t know where they are.”

There was a rumbling sound, and a huge platform rose from the entire hall, and all the people standing on the platform found themselves rising in place until they reached the second floor of the main hall, the second floor of the main temple of Varaya The map of the Dwarves Mountain Kingdom and the murals of countless ancestors' great achievements appeared in front of everyone under the light of the luminous stone and the divine light of the dwarf ancestors. The ancient dwarf music and chants were endless, telling the glory of the Mountain Kingdom.

Sluder said in a tone of pride and grief: "What we boarded was the creation of the dwarves' most glorious era. At that time, our civilization was like the most brilliant Grimmni star meteorite, illuminating the mountains and the universe."

On the map of the Kingdom of Mountains, all the routes of the dense ley line network are displayed at a glance.

"All the situation of the Earth Vein Network Road has been updated. My king, Brother Ryan, now we can prepare our next plan under the guidance of our ancestors."

"Very good!" Bellegar's voice was indescribably excited, and the king of Eight Peaks Mountain clenched the hammer in his hand: "With this castle and the blessing of Valaya, we will regain Eight Peaks Mountain and restore our home!"
