At the Dwarven Kingdom, the reconstruction efforts were well underway. The once-proud walls and buildings, battered by the relentless attacks of the Demon King's forces, were now being restored brick by brick. The air was filled with the steady rhythm of hammers striking metal, the scrape of stone being shaped and lifted into place, and the low hum of dwarven voices giving orders or coordinating the work. The mood was somber but determined. Though the dwarves had suffered, their spirit remained…-

The four Demon King Generals-Thalor, Garruk, Valeria, and Telus-returned to the ominous halls of the Demon King's castle. The air inside was thick, filled with a weight that pressed down on them as they walked through the towering black gates. None of them spoke. Shame clung to them like a shadow, their failure fresh in their minds. Each step echoed off the cold stone floors, adding to the suffocating tension that followed them. At the far end of the dark throne room sat the Demon King. His presence was…

"They're gone," Vincent said, breaking the quiet. Velara's eyes scanned the rugged terrain, narrowing. "For now," she replied, gripping Stormbreaker tightly. "But they'll regroup. You know that." "They will return stronger. But don't worry, we just killed one of their Generals." "How can you be so sure?" Velara flickered her gaze to Vincent, seeking an answer. Vincent couldn't tell Velara that he received a notification stating that the Demon King General Morgath was killed in combat. That would…

The battlefield was in chaos, with smoke and debris clouding the air. Valeria remained crouched behind the stone formation, her senses heightened as she listened for the next whistle of incoming artillery from the human gunship. The sky had become her enemy, and she knew better than to underestimate the humans' precision. Telus, on the other hand, seemed completely unwilling to accept the danger they were in. His blood shield flickered with dark energy as he stubbornly tried to reestablish his dominance…

Telus and Valeria stood in the midst of the battlefield, dwarven bodies scattered all around them. The air was filled with the smell of death, and the once-proud dwarven battalion had been reduced to a desperate few. The two Demon King Generals were unstoppable, tearing through the remaining defenders with ease. Telus, the bloodmancer, moved through the field, his power draining the life from fallen dwarves. He didn't rush. Each step was deliberate, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled the blood from…

Thalor, his pride still unbroken, tried to push himself up. But even as his form flickered weakly, the assassin was too far gone to fight. The relentless barrage from the AC-130 and Velara's attacks had left him drained of both power and energy. His breath was ragged, and his body twitched with the last remnants of dark magic. Garruk's eyes flickered from Thalor to Velara, and for the first time, there was no arrogance-only a grim realization that they were outmatched. Velara took a step forward, eyes…

Velara stood firm, gripping Stormbreaker, her gaze locked onto Thalor and Garruk. The battlefield around her was in ruins, with debris and the aftermath of dark magic scattered across the dwarven defenses. The air was thick with tension, and she knew she couldn't take them both down alone-not without help. Above her, the low hum of the AC-130 could barely be heard over the chaos below. It was circling at high altitude, preparing to engage. Vincent's reinforcements were finally making their presence…

Earlier. The Dwarven Kingdom is an isolated kingdom for a reason. It was surrounded by the tallest mountains, acting as a natural perimeter that deterred intruders and made any direct assault near impossible. The mountains were jagged, their peaks disappearing into the clouds, creating a nearly impassable barrier that encased the kingdom in stone. Within the kingdom's perimeter, the terrain sloped down into a deep valley, where the dwarves had built their fortress-like cities, nestled safely…

The clashing of weapons and the crackling of dark energy reverberated through the tunnels as Velara steeled herself for the fight of her life. Her heart raced, the blood in her veins surged with adrenaline, but her mind remained focused. The Demon King Generals had pushed her to the brink, but she would not surrender. She was a queen, and she would fight to the very end for her kingdom. Garruk charged again, his massive axe gleaming with a wicked glow. Each step he took caused the stone floor to…

As Velara rallied her troops, the sound of heavy footfalls echoed through the corridors, signaling the approach of the Demon King Generals. Their presence alone sent ripples of dark energy through the tunnels, unsettling even the most seasoned dwarven warriors. The stone walls of the Dwarven Kingdom groaned under the strain of their power. Velara gripped Stormbreaker tightly as she led her troops through the labyrinthine tunnels to meet the demons head-on. Her heart raced, but her resolve was…
