No one on the continent expected the outcome of this war, especially the Wizard Union. They had done a lot of propaganda before this operation, and the Wizard Union's power was being questioned.
First, the dragons asked the Wizard Union if they wanted to join the war against the Nation of God.
The Wizard Union's answer was no. Although they had lost this war, they did not lose any real fighting power.
They wouldn't allow the dragons to meddle in the affairs of the continent, even if they knew that Abel had as many as five god-rank fighters. There were still four god-rank giant dragons above the sea of dragons. As long as the dragons got involved, they would have a lot more god-rank fighters available.
In the Wizard Union headquarter, Wizard Naysmith was sitting in a meeting room with 2 dwarves in front of him.
"Wizard Faraday, this is the Wizard Union's mistake, but we still need the help of the dwarves. The Howling Castle must be rebuilt!" Wizard Naysmith lowered his voice.
Wizard Faraday was the most powerful wizard among the dwarves. He had reached rank 25, but he was completely suppressed in front of Wizard Naysmith.
However, in his heart, anger and unwillingness filled his soul. A total of 5,000 dwarven engineers had died on the front line just like that.
On the other hand, the eight Divine Wizards in charge of protecting the five thousand dwarven engineers were not harmed at all.
He began to wonder if the Wizard Union had set up a trap with the lives of the dwarves to lure out the Holy Knight of the Nation of God.
"Mr. Naysmith, can you guarantee the safety of the next batch of engineers we send out?" Wizard Faraday bowed.
"Wizard Faraday, this is war. If we can't even guarantee our own safety, how can we guarantee our dwarven engineers' safety? All we can do is try our best to keep them safe!" Wizard Naesmith shook his head.
"Can I ask how many dwarven engineers we need?" Wizard Faraday asked.
"At least 10,000 dwarven engineers and construction puppets. We need to finish the Howling Castle as soon as possible!" Wizard Naysmith lowered his voice.
"I need to report to his majesty!" Wizard Faraday bowed helplessly.
"Wizard Faraday, I'll be honest with you. No matter what, the Howling Castle has to be rebuilt. No matter how much we lose, the Wizard Union will continue. No one can change that. You have to give me an answer within 3 days!" Wizard Nasmith lost interest in the conversation and said straightforwardly.
"I'll get back to you as soon as possible!" Wizard Faraday stood up and said. He took Wizard Hutton with him and left the meeting room. Wizard Naismith was the only one who was sitting there, enjoying his juice.
"Little dwarfs, how dare you go against the Wizard Union's decision!" He mumbled in a mocking tone.
In his mind, the death of 5,000 Dwarven Engineers was nothing. He could only blame the Dwarven Engineers for being too slow.
The Howling Castle had to be rebuilt. The Wizard Union didn't know that it was the president's decision before the god-ranks came out, but now, there was no room for discussion.
The Wizard Union always had backups for everything. Even the assembly of the Howling Castle had two copies.
Although one was destroyed, there was still a backup. Only the rich Wizard Union would do something like this.
Of course, the second backup wasn't a waste. It was just to make sure that the Howling Castle could be repaired faster if it was damaged.
If the first mission failed, there would be a second chance. They wouldn't have to wait for a long time to rebuild the assembly.
As a matter of fact, the third backup of the Howling Castle was being produced after the failure of this mission.
As soon as Wizard Hutton came out of the guest room, he was stopped by Wizard Faraday. He was about to say something when he saw Wizard Faraday.
Wizard Faraday only signaled to Wizard Hutton after they reached the teleportation circle of the dwarves' Iron Furnace Fort.
"We dwarves are also members of the Wizard Union. Why did you send our engineers to their deaths?" Wizard Hutton yelled.
"The dwarves have a very low status in the Wizard Union. If we didn't have the ability to forge and build, the Wizard Union would've done something to us already!" Wizard Faraday lowered his voice.
Wizard Hutton sounded a little discouraged, "The fire god has fallen, and we don't have any top-level fighting power. I'm afraid that's one of the reasons as well."
"I heard that the fire god was killed by the war god Doff. Doff is Abel's summon!" Wizard Faraday had a special relationship with Abel. He was indebted to Abel for extending his lifespan, so he had a complicated feeling when he spoke up to this point.
"Wizard Faraday, I heard that the fire god set a trap and started a holy kingdom war with the war god Doff. You can't blame Abel for this!" Wizard Hutton explained for Abel.
"I'm not blaming Abel, but we can't afford to lose any more engineers. Maybe we should ask Abel to protect our engineers?" Wizard Faraday shook his head.
Although the Dwarven Engineer was not a fighting profession, it required a certain amount of strength. This made it so that not all Dwarves could become Dwarven Engineers.
Dwarven engineers needed to control construction puppets, so divine power was the most important requirement.
For the Dwarves, the number of Dwarves who could become Dwarven Engineers had always been around 50,000.
However, these 50,000 dwarves were scattered all over the dwarves' mines. Large amounts of mining required the participation of construction puppets. In addition, there were also some construction projects that required the participation of construction puppets.
The loss of 5,000 construction puppets had already left the dwarven engineers short of manpower.
If they sent out another 10,000 dwarven engineers, the entire dwarven race would be in big trouble.
The dwarven blacksmiths needed a huge amount of ores to work. If they couldn't complete their orders, the dwarves would lose their countless years of reputation.
To the dwarves who valued their reputation as their life, this was worse than death.
"Is it dangerous to let Abel protect the engineers?" Wizard Hutton hesitated and asked.
"Abel has 5 god-rank fighters now. With the god-rank wizards from the Wizard Union, he should be able to protect our engineers!" Wizard Faraday said with certainty.
"Then I'll let Majesty Gunther and Abel talk!" Wizard Hutton nodded. He didn't use his relationship with Abel to take care of this. He knew that this level of help was far beyond the safety agreement between Abel and the dwarves.
The two dwarven law-defying wizards finished their discussion and flashed towards the dwarven palace without hesitation.
A day later, he received a visit from King Gunther. Since his status was different from before, even King Gunther couldn't just send out an invitation. He had to come personally.
Abel didn't know why King Gunther wanted to visit him, but his relationship with the dwarves was not affected by the Fire God incident.
He immediately replied to King Gunther and ordered the magic circle spirit to prepare the guest room of the golden castle.
King Gunther was very low-key this time. He only brought Wizard Faraday and Wizard Hutton with him.
In the guest room, Abel sat on the main seat while King Gunther sat on the side. In this world where strength was everything, Abel's current strength and identity as the owner of this place made everyone tacitly agree with this way of sitting.
"Headmaster Abel, I'm very sorry that I didn't go to Sainte Lorraine's Chéng Rén ceremony. I really regretted it when I heard about it!" King Gunther bowed.
"You're too polite, Majesty Gunther. I should be the one thanking you!" Abel smiled back.
In fact, they both understood that it was very troublesome for a dwarf king to attend such an event in public.
"Do you know what happened on the front line recently?" King Gunther asked Abel.
Abel shook his head, "I've been in retreat lately. I haven't been paying attention to the continent!" He really didn't know what was going on in the outside world.
His large-sized teleportation circle was disconnected from the Wizard Union's network, so he couldn't get the latest news.
Unless it was a matter of great importance to him, neither the Spirit Race nor the Dragon Race would disturb his cultivation.
Almost everyone could tell that his cultivation speed was extremely fast. Those who could connect to his Teleportation Formation were all very close to him, so they would not affect his cultivation.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster Abel, I'm sorry for interrupting your training!" King Gunther bowed again.
Since Abel said he didn't know about the continent, he knew he did interrupt Abel's training.
"Majesty Gunther, can you tell me what happened on the front line?" Abel smiled back.
"Just yesterday, 8 god-ranked wizards from the Wizard Union were protecting 5000 dwarven engineers to rebuild the Howling Castle. However, under the attack of 6 god-ranked holy Knight from the Evil Kingdom, all 5000 dwarven engineers died on the front line!" King Gunther said with a heavy expression.
"My condolences!" Abel slightly bowed.
"But not long after our 5000 dwarven engineers died, the Wizard Union came to us and asked for another 10000 dwarven engineers to rebuild the Howling Castle no matter the cost. Our dwarven engineers couldn't afford it!" King Gunther's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Majesty Gunther, you should know that I'm an elder of the dragon race, and I can't interfere with the continent's business. The Wizard Union is not on good terms with me, so I can't help you even if I want to!" Abel understood what King Gunther was trying to say, so he smiled bitterly.
"Elder Abel, I don't trust the Wizard Union anymore. They are wasting our engineers like this, and they don't care about their safety at all. Since the Wizard Union wants to rebuild the Howling Castle, can you protect our engineers? It's like we are paying you, and it has nothing to do with the Wizard Union!" King Gunther bowed.
Abel hesitated. As a matter of fact, he still supported the idea of rebuilding the Howling Castle on the front line. As long as he could deplete the faith of the Nation of God, it would affect the power of the Nation of God.
As for the safety of the dwarven engineers, he had some experience in this field. At the same time, he also had a large number of construction puppets in his hands. He could help with the construction of the Howling Castle.
The only problem was whether the Wizard Union would allow him to interfere. After all, he was in the limelight during Sainte Lorraine's Chéng Rén ceremony.
"Majesty Gunther, I won't let you down. You can talk to the Wizard Union, I won't contact them. Also, I don't trust the Wizard Union either. If they need my protection, I will not let them get close until the Howling Castle is built!" Abel thought for a moment and said.
"Elder Abel, don't worry, I will talk to the Wizard Union!" King Gunther said in a happy voice.
Although Abel only had five god-rank combatants on his side, he trusted Abel more. He knew that Abel wouldn't just let the dwarven engineers get killed, given his relationship with the dwarves.
He also didn't ask how Abel was going to protect the dwarven engineers. He couldn't ask about god-ranked things.
After 2 days of negotiation, the Wizard Union and the dwarves agreed that Abel would not go to the front line to protect the dwarven engineers at first.
However, the dwarves were firm. If they didn't agree, they wouldn't participate in the construction. The Wizard Union had always relied too much on the dwarves in terms of construction and forging. Therefore, they realized that they couldn't leave the dwarves for at least a few hundred years before they could rebuild a complete forging and construction team.
The most important task right now was to rebuild the Howling Castle. Therefore, the Wizard Union made a deal with the dwarves to let them rebuild the Howling Castle. If they succeeded, the dwarves would be rewarded accordingly. If they failed, the dwarves would have to compensate for their losses.
