Chapter 500: The Master of Fort Gunhouse
Seeing that the two leaders who had been grudges for a long time were about to do it on the spot, the stone was furious, and he scolded:
"Lost! What are you doing? Hawkeye, if you want to fight, I'll fight you later, Gitira, tell me what's going on! ”
It's not that he's angry that two people want to fight, the key is that he doesn't pay attention to the occasion too much, think about it with his ass, is it time for infighting?
The unruly earth elf commander heard the thunderous roar of the stone, and he was immediately stunned, he had personally experienced the power of the head, and he had already left a shadow in his young heart, so he had to restrain himself, bow his head slightly, and stare at Gitira with hook-like eyes, listen to what he said, and think about whether there was a chance to yin the other party.
Although it was Hawkeye who was scolded, Gitira did not dare to slack off, and after quietly giving the former a smug look, he immediately turned his face to the stone and replied loudly:
"Boss! Something happened at home, and there are shrimp who want to sneak attack us! ”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Hawkeye, who was closest to him, suddenly forgot the provocation just now, and shouted with surprise on his face
The reaction of the others was the same when they heard it, and the news instantly spread throughout the team, sparking a wide range of discussions.
Even Urzago got up from the boar's back.
The only thing he was still calm was the stone standing on the chariot, but his face seemed to be a darker shade than before.
After a pause of two seconds, the Black Orc Lord asked in a deep voice, word by word:
"It's... Army... Storehouse... Fort? ”
Gitira took a deep breath, nodded, and continued:
"Yes, ten days ago, the Forgiveness Mercenary Group sent a message that Fort Gunko was gathering troops, and had also contacted Fetanburg and other forces to attack Steel Rock together! ”
"So what's going on now?"
The Savage Orc Prophet interjected.
"After receiving the news, I took the goblin wolf rider out of the city to inquire about the news, and sure enough, I found that several shrimp armies were gathering at the Arsenal Fort, and then I brought people to find you, now I'm afraid ...... The shrimp has already set off. ”
Among the cavalry of various races, the movement speed of the goblin wolf riders is definitely the highest gear, and the howlers under the moon are the most elite group of goblin wolf riders, and only they can run from the "howling river" to the "blood river" in such a short time, across a large area of wasteland, and tell their boss the urgent news as soon as possible.
However, the stone that learned that his territory was about to be attacked did not show the slightest surprise or anxiety, on the contrary, after a short silence, the black orc lord's face actually showed an excited expression.
He stretched out his crimson tongue and licked his chapped lips, then said in a voice that only he could hear:
"Sure enough, it came! Well done! I'm waiting for you! ”
………
Rewind to five days ago.
Frontier Prince's Territory, Fort Gunhouse.
This city founded by human immigrants sits on the edge of a tributary of the Howling River, and is the closest human stronghold to the Badlands to the eastern part of the Frontier Princes.
In its short history of more than 20 years, countless wars with the Greenskins broke out, and it was in this battle after battle that the "Arsenal Fort" slowly developed from a small camp with only a few simple buildings to a medium-sized town with a fixed population of tens of thousands, and became the first line of defense against the invasion of the "badlands" Greenskins.
At the heart of all of this from scratch is a person.
Mill Havelock the Skinner.
Without him, Fort Arsenal would have been flooded by a sea of orcs and goblins.
The sculptural middle-aged man, dressed in a white shirt and brown breeches, sits alone at the head of the long table in the conference hall.
He was neatly dressed, with curly brown hair and a neatly groomed beard, and he did not look like a general with green blood on his hands, but more like a poet with a rough appearance but an elegant temperament.
Having just finished a meeting with representatives of several forces, and after these guys with different goals and interests left, Havelock could finally lean his head back in his chair and relax.
No longer young, but still handsome, a trace of tiredness flashed on his face, but it was quickly replaced by fortitude.
Tomorrow, the new coalition formed temporarily will leave, and just now I finally talked about the baggage supply, and the ghost knows how much trouble there is ahead, if it weren't for those southern knights of "Zareth" who are obstructing everywhere, they wouldn't be so tired.
This attack on "Steel Rock" was a long-awaited plan for Havelock.
If he hadn't accidentally collided with the greenskins of the "Badlands" north a few years ago, he would have pulled out this stubborn nail a long time ago.
After all, the distance between the two is very close, and if he doesn't take the initiative, sooner or later, the other party will do it.
In the words of the Far Eastern Aurora, it is the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly.
There is another reason that only he knows.
That's the pressure from "Bretonnia".
As a pawn buried in the "Frontier Prince's Domain" in the Empire, the development and growth of the "Arsenal Fort" in recent years is also inseparable from the support of the most powerful country in mankind, and Havelock, who was once just the son of a poor peasant, has also gradually changed from an ordinary soldier of the "Sigma Church" to the lord of a city in today's "Frontier Prince's Domain", and ranks among the "Sigmar Templar Knights", that is, the Witch Hunter Organization, one of the twelve Marquis of the Inner Ring Council.
is already a serious imperial nobleman.
But as a devout Sigmar, he didn't care about the fame.
More than twenty years ago, he had moved away from civilization to this barren land where his life could have perished at any moment, and he had put his most youthful years in the most dangerous places, not for money or fame.
He was able to persevere and stand out from the Sigma followers who came with him because of his love for his country and his worship of Sigma.
He firmly believes that all that he has done is worth it.
Empires are the greatest.
He hoped to see the "Frontier Prince" incorporated into the empire one day, and whoever tried to stop his dream would be an enemy, whether it was the Greenskins, the other forces of the Frontier Prince's Territory, or the new knights of "Bretonnia".
With the start of the "Chivalrous War", a large number of Bretonnian nobles poured into the "Frontier Prince's Domain", from west to east, sweeping the entire chaotic land, Havelock could see what they were fighting, what to kill the green skins, what to fight against Chaos, it was all an excuse, in fact, it was just to come to grab money, people and land, and divert the increasingly intensified contradictions in their own country.
But all this also disrupted Havelock's layout, and he had to follow the crowd and join the newly created "Northern Frontier Alliance", but unfortunately, after the last coalition defeated the Greenskins, because of the sudden attack of the Beastmen, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but disbanded on the spot, resulting in the best opportunity to be missed.
Later, news came that Attini Levarian of "Zareth" had colluded with these chaotic minions, and then attacked "Fetanburg", but failed and was killed.
The "Frontier Prince's Territory", which was already surging undercurrently, suddenly became chaotic, and everyone's attention was attracted by this matter, although killing the green skin was important, it was still not as good as expanding his territory, and the "Valleka Hill" where "Zareth" was located was a rare fertile land, and now that this kind of God-given opportunity appeared, some powerful forces around him could not hold it back for a long time, and they sent troops to fight for it.
At this time, no one cares about "Steel Rock" at all, except for Haverock, who has been silently paying attention to the situation here.
Because he knows that this time is the best opportunity to come because of Gollum's aaagh! In the chivalrous war launched with Bretonnia, the strength of the "Border Prince" Greenskin has been greatly weakened, and secondly, according to intelligence, this sturdy Greenskin fortress seems to have a new owner, and its strength is not strong.
So Haverock has been planning and waiting for the right moment.
Sigma is on top! This opportunity finally presented itself.
