The Great War at the Gate of Valaya ended with the retreating troops of the participating armies. As a result, the expeditionary force defended the Gate of Valaya and successively repelled the attacks of greenskins, ratmen, and undead. Although the losses were heavy, they basically Completed its strategic purpose, it can be regarded as an out-and-out tragic victory.

In terms of the expedition army, Belgar's five thousand dwarf army was constantly protected by Valaya, only more than 800 people were killed, and more than 4,200 people were killed, and they were in full condition. -The honest person is promoted to rune master and rune lord in one fell swoop, becoming another sanctuary powerhouse.

In terms of human armies, the casualty rate of knights and knights' squires was barely acceptable. Four thousand knights suffered less than a thousand casualties, knights' retinues suffered more than 1,800 casualties, and four battalions of the Old Guards suffered 1,500 casualties. After more than 100 people were counted, there were only 1,000 people left, and the serf infantry regiment suffered the most heavy losses. After the reorganization of the original 15 serf infantry regiments, there were only less than eight remaining, and nearly half of them were killed. More than 16,000 serf infantry soldiers were left with less than 8,000.

In terms of mercenaries, Kislev's Sea Soul Guards were all wiped out, and Leonardo's Leopard regiment was completely disbanded. This guy took the remaining 200 people and supported the Eagle Flag directly from Karad. The direction escaped and did not enter the gate of Valaya.

Thirty percent of the rangers were killed.

After the casualties were counted, after the expedition army participated in the battle of Valaya's Gate, including the more than 4,000 troops in Belgar, the original number of 35,000 troops had been reduced to about 20,000.

The Skarsnik and its Evil Moon clan had 60,000 troops in the battle, and they were less than 25,000 when they retreated to the Eight Peaks. The Evil Moon Clan lost a large number of green-skinned gangsters in the battle of Valaya's Gate. With the Greenskin Boys, the mighty Anaknari giant spider war group was also lost, and the troll army remained in the tunnel, but the cunning Skarsnick did not invest in the most elite black orc army. And its Guards Night Goblin "Eight Peaks Fanatic".

The Skaven Moss clan, the right-claw headhunter Quick, also lost more than 20,000 in this war. Five storm rats and six dimensional lightning cannons were destroyed. - Seek reinforcements in the Morse clan domain in Red Cloud Mountain.

When Nefrata set off from Silver Peak Mountain, there were countless undead army. When she finally escaped from Kaleda and returned to Silver Peak Mountain, there were only a dozen or so Laemia female vampires from the Laemia Sisters. , As for the loss of Kaleda and her Legion of Lebaras, it is not very big, but this is another story.

At this time, Ryan and the others who had withdrawn into the Valaya Gate had no time to think about Kaleda and Nefrata.

Two hours later, within the deep and quiet leyline network.

Behind the gate of Valaya is a brand new dwarf leyline network. Although it has gone through a long period of time, the leyline network behind the door has not been affected by any attack or earthquake, and many ancient runes can still run.

At the top of the tunnel, under the guidance of the rune power of the dwarf rune master Slud, the ancient rune stone began to glow, and a great underground fortress gradually appeared in front of the expedition army. The area of ​​this fortress is not particularly large, only There is a main fortress and two sub-fortresses built in a deep mountain cave, covering an area of ​​less than one hectare. Two tens of meters high statues of the 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, stout, dwarf female with a mound-shaped stature.

On one statue, the dwarf goddess wears a pointed round helmet with two horns and two large braids, wears breastplate and chain armor, is fully armed, and holds a rune battle axe and shield in her hands.

In another statue, Varaya is wearing a loose robe, holding the baby in her arms and feeding the baby beer.

It's pretty dwarf.

Belgar-Hammer led all the dwarves of the Angrond clan to kneel and pay homage to the great mother goddess, who had not inspired and blessed the dwarven army, in such a tragic war, they were broken. It was impossible to pay more than 800 casualties.

The human army was only silent. The knights in tattered armor followed the king and bowed collectively, expressing their respect for the dwarf ancestor god. The power of Valaya not only blessed the dwarves, but also helped the humans, Nefrata and The undead magic that her undead army has always been invincible 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-Honest walked at the forefront and introduced to Ryan and Bellegar: "Valaya The main temple, also known as the city of Valaya, is the masterpiece of the ancient dwarf rune craftsmen, and the only remaining main temple of the three ancestors that was not built in the kingdom of mountains."

"Valaya enlightened me in fantasy, she gave me strength and courage." The army crossed the long castle bridge, Slud-honest lighted the runes, and the sound of the mechanism wheel was accompanied by smoke and Dust, a broad and grand hall was displayed in front of everyone.

The army began to set up camp in this empty dwarf 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, ate a meal with dry food and grass, and then fell asleep. , Some soldiers did not have time to take off their armor, and slept directly on the ground.

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

The dwarves were very energetic. They were very tired after seeing the army of knights. The dwarves took the initiative to undertake the task of patrolling and sentrying. Among them, the direction of the Valaya Gate was the key defense object, but the dwarf rangers led by Bellegar found the gate for a long time. The collapse of the Ancestral Hall on the other side has caused the collapse of an entire leyline network outside. It is an impossible task for greenskins, undead or rat people to reopen this leyline network.

Bellegar personally led a group of dwarf rangers to patrol around, and the heart of the King of Eight Peaks was fluctuating. He knew how much Ryan and his Knight Road army had sacrificed in this battle, and if it wasn't for Valaya's Blessed, the dwarves are bound to suffer heavy casualties.

After a few hours of patrolling, within the deep ley lines, Bellegar led the rangers back to the city of Valaya, facing Slud the Honest and the Dwarf Patriarch Berek-Northstar and him. The North Star Axe Corps, a group of Iron Broken Warriors.

The dwarf patriarch Beric-North Star was also refreshed, and he said to Bellegar: "Your Majesty, we checked the ley lines leading to the Titan Gate of Eight Peaks Mountain. Fortunately, the ancestor's rune is still working, as long as We can open the access to the Eight Peaks at any time if we need it, and if we don't need it, then neither the Skaven nor the green-skinned fellows will be able to find the rune door from the smooth rock wall."

"Very well, it seems that we have a comfortable nest for the time being." Bellegar's face was serious, and the King of Eight Peaks 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 risen." Berwick-North Star said with respect.

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

"How to fight this war next, we still need to discuss with Brother Ryan." Bellegar nodded, and the Dynasty of Eight Peaks 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 arms of the fairies in the lake forever.

Ryan, who had woken up, knelt down on one knee. He silently knelt in front of the relics of many knights. Due to the hasty retreat, many of the knights' bones were not collected and buried in time.

"Sir Aristide, Sir Floix, 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 the Eight Peaks. We, they exchanged their sacrifices for this tragic victory for us." Lane whispered, and the king closed his eyes in pain.

Behind him, more than twenty Holy Grail Knights headed by Callard, Federmond, and Antelm all knelt down on one knee to pay tribute to these sacrificed warriors. The old guard commander Bertrand was also among them. In the middle, the knights whispered: "Never forget! Never forgive!"

"Vengeance!" Ryan clenched the goddess of nemesis.

"Never forget! Never forgive!!!" The knights shouted again, and the fire of revenge was 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 the saber of Black Heart Leip, the blood of bravery!" Callard sighed lightly, and he said seriously: "Black Heart Leip... also died in battle."

"He is a respectable warrior. I saw him fighting bravely against the Skaven Rat Warlord Headhunter Quick in order to buy time." Federmond also came up: "In the end, he lost to the enemy. ...killed."

"A venerable warrior." Antelm also came up, and Count Kuilau said loudly: "I would like to declare on behalf of the knights that the past has been written off. He and his independent regiment have won our respect."

"Respectable warrior!" The knights nodded in agreement, and the account of death was eliminated. Since the Black Heart Leipu is dead, the knights agreed that everything will end here. Starting today, they recognize the contribution of Blackheart Leip and the status of the independent regiment. .

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

Everyone was silent.

The loss of this war is huge. The knights have excellent armor and shields, and they are not so easy to be killed by penetrating armor. After all, most of the greenskins, rat 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 battle. If you want to completely recover the entire Bafeng Mountain through one or two decisive battles, it is simply too much and too simple. Otherwise, Bellega would not have tried to recover Bafeng Mountain three times and failed. The second time, with the strong support of the 10,000-strong army of the High King Thorgrim, he entered the interior of the Eight Peaks Mountain, and finally he was forced to retreat.

The expedition is not a dinner party. The difficulty of the great expedition to recover the Eight Peaks is just like that. Otherwise, the rewards will not be so generous.

"Let's rest here for a while." Ryan then ordered: "The supplies are enough for the time being, the army needs to rest, please settle down first, heal the wounds, and how to fight next, wait for us and Bellegar Discuss with the king."

"Yes!" The knights hurried away.

Ryan turned around again, the king breathed a sigh of relief, and was silent for a long time.

The commander of the rangers, Estelle, was also killed in battle. The news was even after they had withdrawn to Valaya's Gate. When they counted the number of people, it was discovered that Estel had not come back. The half-elf remained on the other side of the gate forever. , he did not leave a single word of his last words, and no one even knows how he fell.

The sacrifice of the expedition made Ryan unable to speak for a long time. The king of knights actually had a hunch about everything before the expedition. After all, the difficulty of the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain is well known, but when he really faced this moment, he still couldn't hide his grief.

But the harvest after the **** battle was also plentiful. After experiencing this truly tragic war, there were more than 100 knights who were promoted to the legendary rank alone. One Holy Grail knight and one expedition knight broke through the legend and advanced to the sanctuary.

Even Ryan himself is breaking through the edge of the high-level sanctuary.

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

The sound of high heels went from far to near, a slender figure embraced 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: "Darling, it's not your fault, you Do your best, you have completed an impossible feat with one against two, and that is Nefrata and Gul!"

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

"King Belgar called you over, dear." Veronica stood on tiptoe and kissed Ryan's lips: "There are new discoveries in the main temple."

"Well, let's go together."

Ten minutes later, the main shrine of Valaya.

In the magnificent, solemn and orderly hall, thousands of ancient runes are glittering. The statue of Valaya stands in the center of the hall, more than 40 meters high. Lane and Bellegar walk side by side, hundreds of thousands of them. The glowing stone re-emerged under the power of the runes, lighting up the entire hall.

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

"Varaja had predicted long ago that maybe one day, the dwarves would face unprecedented disasters, and the splendor of the mountains would dim, so the mother goddess did not build her main temple in the kingdom of those mountains. Instead, we choose to bury it deep underground, so that our civilization has a chance to survive in times of crisis."

The door of the arsenal in the temple was opened, and the standard equipment of dwarf runes lined up in hundreds of columns could not be seen at a glance. Slud said with pride: "The temple has a full set of runes that are enough to equip several dwarven legions. Equipment and weapons, the ancestral rune craftsmen have selflessly forged these weapons and armor, and many beautiful war machines, in order to one day be useful, I have started to let those mustaches start to modify some of the rune equipment, Brother Ryan, these equipments will definitely help you, ours~www.wuxiaspot.com~ um!" Ryan and Bellegar couldn't help being excited, they nodded again and again.

"There is a dwarf forge at the bottom of the fortress, which stores three doomsday anvils, hundreds of tons of meteorite iron and mithril, countless steel and a very complete dwarf weapon forging workshop, and can also Use, we can here, repair our broken equipment and forge new armor and weapons, as well as make new war machines." Slud - the honest man walked before the ancestral statue, he pressed the rune: "This is Many functions in this fortress need to be further explored, although it is ancient technology, but I have to say that these technologies are more advanced than the Mountain Kingdom now, I don’t know where they are.”

There was a rumbling sound, and a huge platform rose from the entire hall. All the people standing on the platform found themselves rising in place until they ascended to the second floor of the main hall, the second floor of the main temple of Valaya. , the map of the mountain kingdom of dwarves 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.

Slud said in a proud and sad tone: "What we have boarded is the creation of the most glorious era of the dwarves. At that time, our civilization was like the most splendid Grimney star, illuminating the mountains and the world."

On the map of the kingdom of mountains, all the lines of the dense network of leylines are displayed at a glance.

"All the information about the leyline network 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 clenched the holy hammer in his hand: "With the blessing of this castle and Valaya, we will surely retake Eight Peaks and restore us. home!"
