Three days later, a figure at the level of a high priest of the Dwarven Mountain God arrived at the army and conducted an Alignment Check on all senior officers. Aside from three Dwarf nobles inclined toward the Evil Alignment who were executed on the spot, everyone else was unharmed.
A Dwarf Iron Guard accompanying him saw the high priest nod, then took out a document signed by the king of the Ironforge Mountain Dwarf Kingdom and handed it to Dallag Ironforge.
"Marquis Dalag, by His Majesty the King's orders, you are relieved of all military duties effective immediately. Earl Moximi Ash will succeed you as commander of the army. You are to report to the church in the Royal Capital within seven days to serve as a temple guard and atone for one hundred years."
"Dallag accepts the order."
The Dwarf marquis accepted the king's signed document and seemed to age many years in an instant.
One wrong step led to another.
Being allowed to atone as a temple guard in the Mountain Dwarf God's temple in the Royal Capital was already the result of his distant uncle pulling strings.
Dalag knew full well that without His Majesty the King protecting him, he would lose every title he possessed, including his territory, his Peerage, his army, and even his surname.
Under the circumstances, this was already an immense mercy.
"Earl Moximi, I'll leave everything to you from now on."
"Please rest assured, Marquis. I will carry on your will." Earl Moximi Ash stepped forward and bowed.
Marquis Dalag turned to his subordinates and instructed them, "After I leave, Haider will take command of the army. Faisal and Edwin will assist him. Obey Earl Greyshan's orders."
"Yes, my lord."
"Haider, tell my son Blus to take me as a warning."
