Glentstadt, the southernmost town of Avery, is located at the northwest pass of the Black Fire Trail, consisting of a twenty-meter-high wall and a small town behind it, and the caravans prefer to call it the "Frontier Town", and over time, even the locals call their homeland, as the name suggests, this is the very edge of the empire.

The history of Frontier Towns dates back to before the Empire was founded, when the Battle of the Long Beards between the High Elves and the Dwarves – as the High Elves called it, and the Dwarves called it the "War of Revenge" – finally came to an end, ending in a disastrous victory for the "Children of the Mountains".

The High Elves have completely withdrawn to "Ulthuan", all the colonies throughout the Old World have been deserted, and the dwarves have to retreat in the mountain fortress due to their own strength, and after an unexpected earthquake, they are once again devastated.

The two major races of the order camp have all suffered heavy losses because of this "civil war", and even today, thousands of years later, they are far from recovering to the grand occasion of the year, especially the dwarf kingdom, which has fallen into the two-sided attack of the greenskins and the rat people, like a candle in the wind, and it is in danger.

After the end of the world-famous war, the humans of the Old World began to rise during this gap, and under the threat of greenskins, beastmen and other monsters, they were like tenacious weeds, deeply rooted in some rich lands, forming new tribes and towns.

Heroes emerge from troubled times, and the best of them is the chief of the "Ambrogen Tribe", Sigma.

In just fifteen years, he conquered eleven of the most powerful tribes of the time, and forged a brotherly friendship with the dwarven "High King" Kegan Ironbeard.

After unifying all the human tribes, Sigmar was not satisfied with this, he set his sights on the alien creatures that roamed the dark forests and wild wilderness, a battle for living space, and the future of the new human race, and the final battle took place in the Black Fire Pass.

The border town was the camp where the human army was stationed at that time.

It was an epic battle that had been sung in the minstrels' mouths for millennia, and in the face of a tidal wave of green-skinned frenzy, human soldiers fought alongside dwarven warriors, fearlessly battling foes much larger than their own size.

When Sigmar used his rune hammer "Gail Malaz" to shatter the skulls of the orc warlords, the "First Battle of Blackfire Pass" ended in the victory of the coalition forces, and after a series of pursuits and massacres, Greenskins had to temporarily withdraw from the land west of the mountains on the edge of the world, which is now the "Frontier Princedom".

And this battle also completely established Sigma's name as the "God of War", and the following year, he was proclaimed the lord of the newly established empire in his birthplace "Aldolph".

Despite his growing prestige, Sigmar did not turn the empire into an absolute monarchy, but instead returned most of his land and power to the tribes he had conquered, and the original tribes became new provinces, still belonging to the previous chiefs, except that they became electors.

These provinces were fairly independent, but all Electors had to owe allegiance to the Emperor, and each new Emperor was voted for by the Electors.

The unique system allowed the empire to develop rapidly in the next few hundred years, and even occupied the current "Frontier Prince's Domain" for a time, and established a new province called "Lichtenberg", but the good times did not last long, with various internal and external troubles frequently emerged, and today, the number of provinces in the empire has been reduced from the original twelve provinces to ten, and a considerable part of the territory is ruled by evil undead.

To add insult to injury, not long ago, the Empire's largest port city, the trading center of the Old World, and the most important source of tax revenue, Marienburg declared independence, which was quite a blow to the Empire, and directly led to the ouster of Emperor Dieter IV, and the Elector William III from Rick became the new emperor.

After William III ascended the throne, after several years of regulation, the empire seemed to be back on track, everything was developing in a good direction, such as the province of Iveling, which had just experienced the ravages of greenskins, also received a large amount of funding from the central government, although corruption and greed for ink were always unavoidable, but with a large amount of gold kronorn, the "border town" was quickly rebuilt.

The dilapidated walls have been repaired by dwarven craftsmen, and while the signs of the devastation are still visible, they are at least functioning as they were.

The defenders, who had suffered heavy losses, were replenished, and in order to prevent a repeat of the mistakes, more advanced weapons and equipment were distributed, so that the most elite troops of the Ivey Command were already more combative.

The "Guards of the Mountains", these well-trained and resolute soldiers, dressed in the traditional yellow and black uniforms of the "Avi Collar" but embroidered with flame symbols, armed with halberds and muskets, fought to the death when the walls were breached, and by the time the Greenskins had crossed the border, there were almost no one left.

After a few years of reorganization and recuperation, the legion that had been guarding the border town for hundreds of years was once again restored to the strength of 5,000 men, and their equipment was completely new, especially the 1,000 shield-wielding heavy infantry, and the huge shields and armor in their hands were all made by dwarven craftsmen.

Now they have only one goal, and that is to do everything possible to intercept the green skins that will definitely appear in the future outside the city and prevent the tragedy from happening again.

In addition to the "Mountain Guard", not long ago, the current Elector Earl Grunwald sent another elite army in the territory, the "Night Raven Catcher", who believed that this force skilled in archery and tracking skills would be a powerful addition to the original defenders, ensuring that nothing would go wrong in the future.

It's just that in the eyes of the "Mountain Guard", this kind of behavior is a kind of distrust of themselves, and some people even feel that it is an insult to the history of the Legion for hundreds of years, especially after the arrival of those "crow hunters" with longbows on their backs, one by one they are arrogant and there is no one in their eyes, and many people are holding back a cloud of anger in their hearts.

One of them was Fletcher Squadron Leader of the 9th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade, a veteran of the bloody battle with the Greenskins eight years ago, who fought until the last moment, and witnessed the fat goblin warlord driving a chariot and wielding a giant axe to smash the city gate open.

In the eyes of Fletcher, who survived, the Earl's sending those crows was a great disrespect to the dead robes, which made him and those old brothers very cold, and he had been in a state of anger these days, but at this time, the "border town", which had been quiet for a long time, had an accident again.
