The military nation Duergar.

It was the Kingdom of dwarves.

1,000 years had passed since the first generation dwarf hero, King Boros
Duergar, had built this country.

To this day, the country had been protecting, as well as developing, its
history, culture, and technologies.

The current King Moros Duergar was part of the third generation
dwarves, but possessed a similar aura to that of his grandfather in his
younger days.

He was renowned as a great hero and celebrated as a wise king for his
impartial rule.

The land was governed by one such a dwarf.

As a free trade town, it was the center of trade between all kinds of races.

Therefore, the town kept a policy of absolute neutrality.

Within this town, the wise king would not tolerate violence.

Even the Empire in the east avoided open aggression with the military
nation Duergar!

Needless to say, this was a favourite topic of conversation among
adventurers.

The dwarves were known to be such ferocious opponents, that there was
even a saying, ‘go against a dwarf once, there won’t be a second time!’.
Their reputation as a military nation was not just for show!

In battle, a wall of heavy infantry would defend the Army Magic Corps.

The opposing enemies would be totally annihilated by the powerful magic attacks before even managing to break through the infantry wall.

During these past 1,000 years, the might of the dwarven army that boasted of invincibility had always remained famous.

And the factor which supported their claims…

It was none other than the equipments they produced using their technological strength.

The weapons and armors they crafted using their cutting-edge techniques,
far surpassed the quality of a master human blacksmith.

Therefore!

Rather than quarrel with the dwarf race, people chose to create friendly
ties.

For this reason, even if one were to encounter demons in dwarf territory,
there was hardly anyone who would foolishly cause conflict.

Their capital was a place where humans and demons mingled.

It was truly one of the strangest lands in the world.

Not to mention, while the capital positively overflowed with tools of war, it was still a country that was able to enjoy peace.

The fact that the arms dealers’ stronghold was the farthest from causing strife might have been, in a way…ironic.

In front of the entrance, there was a large line of people entering.

There, a large gate was built that was big enough to completely block the
naturally-formed great cave.

The only times the gate was opened was on the occasions when the army
needed to come and go, and only once a month at that.

Unfortunately, it was closed today.

Below the large gate, a small door was installed for the express purpose of
letting people in and out.

A line of people was formed on the left side of the passage. It appeared that the right hand side was a pathway for the likes of nobles and important figures.
