The Battle of the Valaya Gate ended with the retreat of the participating troops. As a result, the Expeditionary Force defended the Valaya Gate and repelled the attacks of the Green Skin, Rat Man and the Dead. Although the losses were heavy, it basically achieved its strategic goal, which was an absolute victory.

In terms of the expeditionary army, the five thousand dwarf army of Belega was constantly protected by Valaya, and only more than 800 people were killed, and more than 4,200 people were killed. In addition, the dwarf rune craftsman Sluder - the Honesty, was promoted to rune master and rune lord in one fell swoop, becoming another powerful person in the holy realm.

In terms of human army, the casualty rate of knights and knight entourages was barely acceptable. The four thousand knights participated in the battle were less than 1,000 casualties, more than 1,800 knights were killed or killed. After counting more than 1,500 people in the four battalions of the old guards, only 1,000 were left. The serf infantry regiments had the worst losses. Originally, there were only less than 8,000 left after the fifteen serf infantry regiments, and nearly half of them were killed. When they set out, there were only less than 16,000 serf infantry regiments.

In terms of mercenaries, the sea soul guards of Kislov were wiped out, and Leonardo's leopard regiment was completely disbanded. The guy took the remaining 200 people to protect the eagle flag and fled directly from the direction of Karad's support, and did not enter the Valaya Gate.

30% of the rangers were killed.

After counting the casualties, after the expeditionary army participated in the Battle of Valaya Gate, including the more than 4,000 troops in Belega, the original 35,000 troops had been reduced to about 20,000.

Skasnik and its Evil Yue clan had 60,000 troops involved in the battle, and when they retreated to Bafeng Mountain, there were less than 25,000. The Evil Yue clan lost a large number of Green Skinned War Gangs and Green Skinned War Gangs in the Battle of Valaya Gate. The powerful Anaknari giant spider battle group was also completely lost, and the troll legion also remained in the tunnel, but the cunning Skasnik did not invest in the most elite Black Orc Legion and its personal guard, the Dark Night Goblin "Eight Peak Mountain Madman".

The Scarven Ratman Moss clan right-claw headhunter Quak also lost more than 20,000 in the war. Five Storm Rats and six dimensional lightning cannons were destroyed. The headhunter Quak has sought reinforcements from his Moss clan territory in Karak-Red Cloud Mountain.

When Nevrata set out from Silver Peak Mountain, the uncountable army of undeads finally escaped Kalida's pursuit and returned to Silver Peak Mountain, there were only a dozen Lamiya female vampires left from the Lemiya Sisters. As for Kalida and her Lebaras Legion, the losses were not very big, but this is a story later.

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

Two hours later, it was in the deep and quiet earth vein network.

Behind the Valaya Gate is a brand new dwarf ground vein network. Although it has been through extremely long years, the ground vein network behind the gate has indeed 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 Sluder, the ancient rune stone began to shine, and a great underground city gate gradually appeared in front of the expeditionary army. The area of ​​this city gate was not particularly large, with only one main fort and two sub-forts built in a deep mountain cave, covering an area of ​​less than one hectare. Two statues of gods, Valaya, one of the three main gods of the dwarf, were located in front of the underground city gate. From the appearance, this was a short, fat, piercing dwarf woman.

On a statue, the dwarf's mother god was wearing a sharp-topped round helmet, two big braids, wearing breastplate and chain armor, fully armed, holding a rune battle axe and shield in her hand.

On another statue, Valaya was wearing a loose robe, holding the baby in her arms, feeding beer to the baby.

This is quite a dwarf.

Bellegal Hammer led all the dwarves of the Angronde clan to kneel down and pay tribute to the great Mother Goddess. If it weren't for the revelation and protection of the dwarf army, they would never have been able to afford to have suffered more than 800 casualties in such a fierce war.

The human army had no choice but to remain silent. The knights in the ragged armor bowed collectively with the king and expressed their respect for the dwarf ancestor god. The power of Valaya not only protected the dwarves, but also helped humans. Nevrata and her undead army had always been invincible, and the undead magic was also overshadowed in front of Valaya's power, and could not resurrect the dead for her use. This was also a great help to the human army.

The bridge over 200 meters long leads directly to the gate of the city gate. The luminous stones on both sides echo each other. The newly promoted Dwarf Sacred Rune Master Sluder - the Honest Man walked in front and introduced to Ryan and Bellegal: "The main temple of Valaya, also known as the City of Valaya, is the masterpiece of ancient dwarf rune craftsmen. The only remaining main temple of the three ancestors that has not been established in the kingdom of mountains."

"Valaya revealed me in the illusion, and she brought me strength and courage." The army passed through the long castle bridge, and the Sluder-Honest man lit up the runes. The sound of the mechanism wheel was accompanied by smoke and dust, and a wide and grand hall was displayed in front of everyone.

The army began to camp in this empty dwarf city. The extremely tired 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 fell asleep. Some soldiers had no time to take off their armor and went to bed on the ground.

Ryan was also injured. He arranged for a while and took a shower and washed the wound, looking for a side hall to rest.

The dwarves were very energetic. When they saw the knight army, they were already very tired. The dwarves took the initiative to take on patrol and watch. The direction of the Valaya Gate was the key defense object. However, the dwarves led by Bellagher found that the ancestral hall on the other side of the gate had collapsed for a long time. After the collapse of a whole external vein network, it was impossible for the green skin, the undead or the rat man to open the vein network again.

Bellega personally patrolled a group of dwarf rangers. The heart of the King of Eight Peaks Mountain was fluctuating. He knew how much sacrifice Ryan and his Knightsmen had made in this battle. If it weren't for Valaya's blessing, the dwarf would have suffered heavy casualties.

After several hours of patrol, in the deep vein network, Bellerga led the rangers back to the city of Valaya. On the way were Sluder, the Honest and Dwarf Chief Peric, his North Star Axe Group, a group of broken iron warriors.

The dwarf leader Pericke Beixing was also refreshed. He said to Bellegal: "Your Majesty, we checked the earth vein network leading to the Titan Gate of Eight Peak Mountain. Fortunately, the runes of our ancestors are still operating. As long as we need them, we can open the path to Eight Peak Mountain at any time. If we don't need them, then no matter those Scarven or green-skinned guys, they can't find the rune gate from the smooth rock walls."

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

"Most of the humans are still resting, but His Majesty Ryan and the respectable Holy Grail Knights have risen." Peric North Star said with respect.

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

"We still need to discuss with the Ryan brothers how to fight this war." Bellerga nodded, and the King of Eight Peaks Mountain 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 fairies in the lake forever.

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

"Sir Aristide, Sir Froye, Earl of Dulin, Baron Lopps... The knight brothers who died in this battle, as well as the old guards and serfs who sacrificed their lives for the expedition to the Bafeng Mountain, they exchanged their sacrifices for us for this tragic victory." Ryan whispered, and the king closed his eyes in pain.

Behind him, more than 20 Holy Grail Knights led by Karad, Federmond and Anthelm all knelt on one knee and paid tribute to the sacrificed warriors. The old commander of the Guards Bertrand was among them. The knights whispered: "Don't forget! Never forgive!"

"Revenge!" Ryan tightened the goddess of vengeance.

"Never forget! Never forgive!!!" the knights shouted loudly 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 master of this sword is?"

"This is the sword of Black Heart Rep, the blood of courage!" Karad sighed lightly, and he said seriously: "Black Rep... was also killed in battle."

"He is a respectable warrior. I saw that in order to gain time, he bravely fought with the Scarvens warlord headhunter Quaker." Federmond also walked up: "In the end, he lost... and was killed."

"A respectable warrior." Anthelm also walked up, and the Earl of Kuilu said loudly: "I am willing to announce on behalf of the knights that the past has been written off, and he and his independent group have won our respect."

"Respectable warrior!" The knights nodded in agreement. The debts of the dead were gone. Since the black-hearted Rep was dead, the knights agreed that everything would last. From today on, they recognized the Black-hearted Rep's contribution and the status of the independent regiment.

"After Blackheart Rep died in battle, his deputy Durant wanted to snatch his body, but he only snatched this one." Ryan gave a wink outside, with many bandages on his body, Durant limping in from outside with a wooden stick. He took Blackheart Rep's sword from Ryan's hand, couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears: "Captain!"

Everyone was silent.

The war suffered a lot. The knights had excellent armor and shields, so they were not so easy to be killed by penetrating armor. After all, most of the green skins, rat men and undead skeletons had limited armor-breaking ability, but the serf infantry did not have such good protection.

The recovery of Bafeng Mountain is destined to be an extremely difficult war. It is simply too much to restore the entire territory of Bafeng Mountain through one or two decisive battles. Otherwise, Bellega would not have failed to recover Bafeng Mountain three times. The second time, with the strong support of the Supreme King Sol Green, the army of the Supreme King, attacked the interior of Bafeng Mountain, and finally he was forced to retreat.

The expedition is not about treating guests to dinner, but it is the difficulty of recapturing the Great Expedition to Bafeng Mountain, otherwise the reward would not be so generous.

"We'll take a break here for a while." Ryan then gave an order: "The supply is enough for the time being. The army needs rest. Please place it first and take care of the wounds. How should we fight next? Wait for us to discuss with King Bellega."

"Yes!" The knights scattered.

Ryan turned around again, and the king let out a light breath, silent for a long time.

The commander of the tourer, Estel, was also killed in battle. The news even came to the Valaya Gate and counted the number of people. Only when the people were counted, did I find that Estel had not returned. The half-elves remained on the other side of the gate forever. He did not 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 actually had a premonition about all the situation before he went to the expedition. After all, the difficulty of the Bafeng Mountain Expedition is well known, but when he really faced this moment, he still couldn't hide his grief.

But the gains from the bloody battle were also rich. After experiencing this truly fierce war, there were more than 100 knights who were promoted to the legendary level alone, a Holy Grail Knight and an Expedition Knight broke through the legend and advanced to the holy realm.

Even Ryan himself is breaking through the edge of the higher level of the Holy Realm.

There were also seventy-three old guards who were promoted to the legendary level in one fell swoop after the bloody battle.

The sound of high heels was from far to near, and a graceful figure hugged the Knight King from behind. The smell of rose perfume covered Ryan's sense of smell. A gentle voice whispered in Ryan's ear: "Dear, it's not your fault. You have tried your best. You have already completed the impossible feat with one against two, and that is Nevrata and Guer!"

"Veronica..." Ryan turned around and hugged the witch Galan in his arms, and the king whispered: "Is there anything wrong?"

"King Bellega called you over, my 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 Valaya.

In the magnificent, solemn and regular hall, thousands of ancient runes are shining. The statue of Valaya stands in the center of the hall, more than 40 meters high. Ryan and Bellega walk side by side, hundreds of glowing stones shine again under the power of runes, lighting up the entire hall.

The people who came in looked extremely small. Through the golden arches and glorious corridors, Ryan and others followed the explanation of Rune Master Sluder.

"Valaya had expected very early, long ago that perhaps one day, the dwarves would face unprecedented disasters and the glory of the mountains would dim. Therefore, the Mother Goddess did not build his main temple in those mountain kingdoms, but chose to bury it deep underground, so that our civilization had the opportunity to survive in times of crisis."

The gate of the arsenal in the temple was opened, and hundreds of rows of dwarf rune-style equipment could not be seen at all. Sluder said proudly: "The temple is full of rune equipment and weapons that are enough to equip several dwarf legions. The ancestor rune craftsmen selflessly created these weapons and armor, as well as many exquisite war machines, so that one day it will come to handy. I have already started to let the beards start to transform some rune equipment. Brother Ryan, these equipment will definitely help you and ours."

"Yeah!" Ryan and Bellega couldn't help but be excited, and they nodded repeatedly.

"There is a dwarf forging field underground in the city gate, which stores three Doomsday anvils, hundreds of tons of meteorite and mitral, countless steel and a whole very complete dwarf weapon forging workshop, and it can also be used. We can repair our damaged equipment and create new armor and weapons, as well as make new war machines." The Luther-Honest Man walked to the statue of the ancestor and pressed the rune: "Many functions in this city gate need to be further explored. Although they are ancient technologies, I want to say that these technologies are so advanced that they are now than the Mountain Kingdom."

The rumbling sound sounded, 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, on the second floor of the main temple of Valaya, the map of the Dwarf Mountain Kingdom and countless murals of the great achievements of the ancestors appeared in front of everyone under the illuminated stones and the divine light of the Dwarf ancestors. The ancient dwarf music and singing sounds were endless, telling the glory of the Mountain Kingdom.

Sluder said in a tone of pride and grief: "What we climbed was the creation of the most glorious era of the Dwarves. At that time, our civilization shone through the mountains like the most brilliant Grimney starry iron."

On the map of the Mountain Kingdom, all the dense earth veins and networks are displayed at a glance.

"All the situation in the Earth Vein Network has been updated, my king, brother Ryan, now we can prepare for our next plan under the guidance of our ancestors."
