The next day, a large but slightly disorganized army set out from Fort Arsenal and marched southeast along the dilapidated dirt road beside the Howling River.

The whole army is divided into several parts, with distinct flags and different types of troops, and at first glance it is a temporary ragtag army.

This time, in addition to the "Arsenal Fort", several other human towns around the area have also sent more or less troops, and they all belong to the newly formed "Northern Frontier Alliance".

Although it is called an alliance, in fact, each member is independent, and the clothing and equipment under his command are naturally very different, some good and some bad, and the gap is obvious.

Among them, there are two of the best equipment, one is the infantry of the "Arsenal Fort".

They wore uniform dark blue uniforms, most of them also wore a metal half-length armor on the outside, and a little worse was also a double layer of cowhide armor, and in their hands were usually huge halberds or two-handed swords, all of them with neat steps and resolute eyes, not at all like the army that should appear in the backwoods of the "border princes".

The lords of the other forces were about to pop out their eyes when they saw this army appear, because compared to them, their subordinates were like a group of beggars in unclothed clothes.

It can be said that in order to realize his long-cherished wish, Haverock took out all the hole cards in his hand.

These 8,000 heavy infantry were the result of his efforts over the years, and half of them were from various provinces of the empire, all of which he secretly selected by using the power of the Marquis of the Inner Ring of his "Sigma Templar Order", and each of them had a strong physique and firm beliefs.

Havelock convinced them that coming to Fort Arsenal to fight the Greenskins was a great honor and the best way to be loyal to the Empire.

Elite soldiers naturally deserve to be well-equipped.

The weapons and armor on these soldiers were all from the Imperial "Nunn" munitions factory, which was specially allocated to Havelock by order of the new Emperor William III after he ascended the throne.

He was also moved by the support from the motherland, which showed that the great empire had not forgotten himself, and His Majesty the Emperor had not forgotten himself.

Sigma is on top! I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will be able to recover from the serious injuries of the "Night of a Thousand Laws" as soon as possible, and that the people of "Aldolph" will come out of that terrible night as soon as possible.

When Havelock received the news that the Chaos Believers and the undead were making trouble with "Aldolph", he wanted to immediately lead his troops back to the heart of the Empire, but he knew that it was meaningless, and he should do his job well and capture the "Steel Rock", which was the most direct way to repay the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

No one can stop him from completing this task.

This is also the reason why Havelock will change his previous low-key style and send out the strongest combat power in his hands with great fanfare.

One is to take advantage of the fact that the greenskinned army has not returned, and with the momentum of thunder, he also thinks that it is time to let others know the power of the "Arsenal Fort", especially the arrogant southerners.

Let them know who is the commander in chief of this coalition army.

Havelock is talking about the Bretonians from the "city of Zareis".

Bretonnia is located in the south of the empire, so in the population of the empire, it is the southerners.

Another well-equipped team in the coalition is the knights of the "Knights' Country".

Hearing that he was going to find trouble with the green mushrooms, "Zareth City" was very active, and immediately sent a thousand-strong "Iron Cross Knights" and 5,000 serfs, which in a way greatly helped Havelock.

But the "skinner" does not appreciate it, he knows that the other party's intentions are nothing more than to continue to exaggerate his influence and try to get a piece of the pie.

"Steel Rock" is not just a green-skinned fortress, those who are slightly familiar with the history of the "Frontier Princes" know that this fortress is located next to a huge open-pit mine, with rich iron ore resources, in a resource-poor place like the Chaos Land, it is definitely a big fat piece of meat.

Sure enough, after the people of the "Iron Cross Knights" arrived at the "Arsenal Fort", they began to provoke all kinds of thorns and tried to seize the position of commander of the coalition forces.

In fact, he didn't think about going it alone at first, and finally chose to notify the "Northern Frontier Alliance", the reason is very simple, according to the agreement when the alliance was established, once they go out to fight together, then the internal members must not attack each other, otherwise the first side to start a civil war will be attacked in groups.

This at least ensures that when he is out fighting, Havelock does not have to worry about a fire in his backyard and can face the common enemy with all his might.

Compared with the two forces of "Arsenal Fort" and "Zareth City", which are backed by big trees, the troops of other human towns are much shabby, and the better equipped ones are nothing more than leather armor and swords, almost like the serfs of "Zareth City", with thin clothes and a tattered short bow.

In any case, the entire army combined reached about 30,000 people, and after the departure, it can be said that it was endless, and the momentum was huge.

However, sometimes a large number of people is not entirely a good thing, especially this kind of loose temporary coalition army, the discipline is very loose, all the way to stop and stop, it took three days to come to the outside of the "Steel Rock" city, and Havelock was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, but fortunately, according to the intelligence of the spies, the main force of the other party to the "Badlands" still has no shadow, and it will definitely not be able to come back.

Not long after camping, Havelock received the good news that the men of "Fetanburg" had finally arrived, and there were not many of them, only about a thousand people, but they were all light cavalry.

This fortress is not far north of "Steel Rock", so I didn't go to the "Arsenal Fort" to meet, but came directly.

Leading them was Fitandila, dressed in white robes and silver armor, who attracted everyone's attention as soon as she walked into the tent where the meeting was taking place, including the leader of the "Knights of the Iron Cross", a young knight named Papan.

He is a knight of the kingdom and the eldest son and first in line to the throne of the new lord of the city of Zares.

It seems that this handsome knight also did not expect that the lord of the heretics they had been targeting would be such a beautiful woman.

Havelock greeted Fitandila personally, but he just said hello normally, didn't say anything more, and then quickly began to arrange tomorrow's tasks, and the latter was the same, just standing quietly to the side and listening carefully.

In the "Skinner's plan", it only takes three days at most to break through the gates of the Greenskin Fortress.

Although its walls were taller and stronger than most of the towns of the "Frontier Princes", he came prepared.

When the war starts tomorrow, those green mushrooms will definitely be surprised by the "gifts" they have prepared.
