Volume 6 In the World Chapter 655 God's Presence (Part 2)
In the corner of Wallaya City, human knights are gathering here. Two expedition knights have returned to the embrace of the Lake Fairy forever.
The Archduke Gros, who had woken up, knelt down on one knee. He knelt silently in front of the relics of many knights. Due to the hasty retreat, the bones of many knights did not have time to be collected and buried.
"Sir Aristide, Sir Froy, Count Dulin, Baron Lops...the knight brothers who died in this battle, as well as the soldiers who gave their lives for the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain,
They used their sacrifices to gain this tragic victory for us."
Grand Duke Gros whispered and closed his eyes in pain.
Behind him, three strong men, headed by Gonzalez, Jules, and Duke Otto, all knelt on one knee to pay tribute to these fallen warriors.
The knights whispered: "Never forget! Never forgive!"
"Revenge!" Archduke Gros clenched his sword.
"Never forget! Never forgive!" the knights shouted again, with the fire of revenge burning in everyone's eyes.
After a brief mourning, Grand Duke Gros stood up and took out a weapon: "Everyone, do you know who the owner of this sword is?"
"This is Black-Hearted Lepp's sword, the blood of bravery!" Grand Duke Gross sighed, and he said seriously: "Black-Hearted Lepp... also died in the battle."
"He is a respectable warrior. I saw him fighting bravely against the evil enemy in order to buy time."
Fedmund also came up: "We lost in the end...and were killed."
"A respectable warrior." Jules also walked up:
"On behalf of the Knights of Batoria, I would like to announce that the past has been wiped out. He and his mercenaries have won our respect."
"Honorable warrior!"
The knights nodded in agreement, and the accounts were settled after death. Since Black Heart Lepp is dead, the knights agreed that this is the end of it. From today on, they recognize Black Heart Lepp's contribution and the status of the mercenary army.
"After Blackheart Repp died in the battle, his deputy Durant wanted to take back his body, but he only took back this."
Grand Duke Gross glanced outside. Durant, who was limping and carrying a wooden stick, came in from the outside with many bandages on his body.
He took Black-Hearted Lepp's sword from the hands of Grand Duke Gros, and couldn't help but burst into tears:
"Captain!"
Everyone was silent.
The losses in this war were huge. The knights had sophisticated armor and shields, so they were not easily killed by armor penetration. After all, most orcs had limited armor-breaking capabilities, but the mercenaries were not so well protected.
This is an extremely difficult war. An expedition is not a dinner party. The Great Expedition to spy on and resist the orcs is just that, otherwise the rewards would not be so generous.
"We will rest here for a while." Grand Duke Gros then gave the order: "The supplies are still enough for the time being, and the army needs to rest. Please settle down first and heal your wounds. How should we retreat next? Wait until we and
High King Kalida will discuss this."
"Yes!" The knights dispersed in a hurry.
Gross turned around again, and the Grand Duke breathed a sigh of relief and remained silent for a long time.
The huge sacrifices made by the human vanguard made Grand Duke Gros unable to speak for a long time.
Archduke Gros actually had a premonition of all the situations before setting out on the expedition. After all, the difficulty of conducting an expedition on an Orc chassis was well known, but when faced with this moment, he still couldn't hide his grief.
But the rewards after the bloody battle were also rich. After experiencing this truly tragic war, more than a hundred knights were promoted to high-level, and one or two knights broke through the high-level and advanced to the holy realm.
Even Archduke Gross himself felt that his strength had improved a lot.

Ten minutes later, the main temple of Wallaya.
In the magnificent, solemn and regular hall, thousands of ancient runes are shining.
The statue of Valaya stood in the center of the hall, more than forty meters high. Grand Duke Gros and Kalida walked side by side. Hundreds of luminous stones re-glowed under the power of runes, lighting up the entire hall.
The people who came in seemed extremely small, passing through the golden arches and glorious corridors. Grand Duke Gros and others listened to the explanations of Rune Master Slud.
"Walaya predicted very early on that perhaps one day the dwarves would face an unprecedented disaster and the glory of the mountains would be dimmed, so the Mother Goddess did not build her main temple among those mountain kingdoms.
Rather than choosing to bury it deep underground, this is to give our civilization a chance to survive in times of crisis.”
The door to the weapons depot in the temple was opened, and there were hundreds of rows of dwarf rune-standard equipment with no end in sight. Slude said with pride:
"The temple has a full set of rune equipment and weapons that can equip several dwarf legions. The ancestral rune craftsmen have selflessly crafted these weapons and armor, as well as many exquisite war machines, so that they can be put to use one day.
I have already started to ask those mustaches to start modifying some rune equipment, Grand Duke Gros, these equipment will definitely help you and us."
"Um!"
Grand Duke Gros and Kalida couldn't help being excited, and they nodded repeatedly.

"There is a dwarf forge underground in the fortress, which stores three doomsday anvils, hundreds of tons of meteorite and mithril, countless steel and a very complete dwarf weapon forging workshop, and it can
use.
Here we can repair our broken equipment and forge new armors and weapons, as well as make new war machines."
Silud Honesty walked to the statue of the ancestors and pressed the rune:
"Many functions of this fortress need to be further explored. Although they are ancient technologies, I have to say that these technologies are far more advanced than those of the Mountain Kingdom now."
There was a rumbling sound, and a huge platform rose from the entire hall. All the people standing on the platform found themselves rising on the spot until they reached the second floor of the hall.
On the second floor of the main temple of Wallaya, the map of the dwarf mountain kingdom and the murals of countless ancestors' great achievements appeared in front of everyone under the illumination of the luminous stone and the divine light of the dwarf ancestors.
Ancient dwarven music and chants can be heard endlessly, telling the story of the past glory of the Mountain Kingdom.
Slude said with a tone of pride and sorrow:
"What we are boarding is a creation from the most glorious era of the dwarves. At that time, our civilization was like the most brilliant meteorite in the Gremni starry sky, illuminating the mountains and the world."
On the map of the Mountain Kingdom, all the routes of the dense network of ley lines are displayed at a glance.

On the second floor of the Valaya Temple Hall, Grand Duke Gross, Kalida and others were discussing the next steps. With the audience were Gonzalez, Jules, Otus, and Nielas.
