When Zhang Hao was heading towards the town of Westmond in Midan Province, he received a communication from Marshal Rick from Robert.

"Your Royal Highness, what we feared has happened." Robert reported the matter to Zhang Hao with a little worry.

"The vampires are on full attack?!" Zhang Hao looked very nervous after hearing this, if the vampires attack at this time, the empire will fall into a two-front battle, even if there is a sufficient number of troops, logistics supply is very difficult, and Midan Province must be taken as soon as possible, because this battle not only determines the speed of the unification of the empire, but also carries the hope of the people and the dignity of the empire, but if Tarabeheim is besieged, or in a more serious situation, the vampire army is directed at Aldolph, then Zhang Hao must stop the pace of the attack and reflexively rescue.

"Not yet, but the border garrison in the province of Talabek was attacked the night before yesterday and suffered heavy losses, and the attacker was Hermann Goust, who died once a hundred years ago." Marshal Robert obviously spoke in a very unkind tone when he said the name.

"Hermann Goust? Vampire Legendary Necromancer? ”

"Yes, Your Highness, there have been a large number of missing people in the province of Talabek from the border with Ostmark to the border with the province of Steele, and I have been investigating this matter until last night, when we went to reinforce the witch hunters of the Eye of the Empire, I didn't know where the missing people went!"

"Marshal Robert, how are you sure it's Hermann Goust and no one else, like the Greenskins?"

"According to the information of the surviving cavalry stationed on the border, at least a thousand corpses were under the control of Hermann-Goust and entered the carriage pulled by the ghost. The super-large space vehicle that coincides with it in the entire history is only the Goost Brothers corpse carrier, so ......"

"So get ready for war, Field Marshal Robert, since Hermann-Goust can get our men back alive, it means that he doesn't need to hide anything, it seems that the number of corpses he has prepared is enough to summon the army of the undead that he needs."

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness, I am here in Talabek Province, as long as the vampires do not wage a full-scale war against us, I am sure to hold Talabek Province." Robert was not angry at Zhang Hao's interruption, compared to this young leader, Robert felt that he was really old, and he was a little cringe.

"Good luck to you, Marshal Robert!"

"You are also Your Highness!" Apparently Robert doesn't want to delay any longer, and he still has a lot of work to do before Hermann Goust breaks out.

Zhang Hao immediately pondered after turning off the video, there are countless villages along the way, but there is no young and strong person except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, this situation shows that Midan Province must be defeated by the imperial army, either to defend Middenheim or to attack the rear of the empire, according to the urine of the Tokbollinger family, the possibility of a sneak attack is greater. Then there is no point in going on with the set goals......

The White Wolf Knights are the strongest backing for Midden Province to dare to provoke the majesty of the empire in this way, they are the religious warriors of the Middenheim Ulrick Temple, they are famous in history, Zhang Hao, who has not been willing to read history books for less than a year, certainly does not know this knighthood.

The wolfskin cloak combined with the image of long hair and a bushy beard made them look very savage, but in fact they were berserkers with high discipline and excellent military skills, and even the most bloodthirsty Norsca warriors of the northern barbarians who had defected to Chaos could not parry their ferocious two-handed warhammers.

Assigned by Boris Tokbollinger, Vince, the current head of the White Wolf Knights, personally led 1,500 knights to hide their whereabouts between Westmond and Middenheim, the territory of Midon Province is the size of two Rick provinces, so it is not difficult for 1,500 people to hide.

"Captain, the main force of the Imperial army still hasn't appeared, but their griffon cavalry is driving the crowd around."

Vince was a seemingly well-educated nobleman who stood out among the White Wolf Knights, but such a man who seemed to be Sven led a knighthood that even the Norscans feared.

"Just drive away the crowd? Didn't do anything else? ”

"Yes, Captain, and their movements are irregular, yesterday they were around Westmond, and today they are at the border of Westmond, I really don't know what they want to do."

"How many? Who is in charge? Vince speaks without hurrying or slowing, always at a pace.

"Pioneer Officer Toke, the intelligence says that the number of people is not fixed, as few as forty or so, and as many as a hundred or so''

"Pioneer?"

"Yes, the captains, they shout to the pioneer officer Teucer to visit here and drive away the crowd everywhere they go, but it is strange that they not only do not loot but also give money for the passage to Middenheim."

Vince thought for a moment and sneered, "What a clumsy plan, trying to sneak into Middenheim in this way, it seems that the main force of the Empire has already detoured to Westmond and headed straight for Middenheim, go, send this news to Boris, and at the same time inform our witch hunters that if they find prey, don't just stare at it, let them do it"

"Yes, Captain" The knight quickly left Vince's tent after receiving the task, and every time he summarized information for the regiment commander, he was always inexplicably depressed, and he felt that the regiment commander in front of him seemed to be a murderous orc, not a human.

After a brief plan, Vince gathered his cavalry and set the stage into action. The cavalry of 1,500 men took only ten minutes from receiving the order to setting off, and the efficient action made them come and go like the wind.

"Imperial Vanguard Officer Teucer! Come and visit here! With a very deep voice, Teucer rushed towards a medium-sized village with the two hundred and forty half-griffin knights he had just gathered, this was the first village Teucer can't remember, for five days, with the help of the map provided by Chrissy, he led ten teams of half-griffin knights to expel civilians in various villages, each time the reason was that the imperial army and the army of Midan Province were about to start a war around here, let them hide in the city for refuge, and each of them was given a subsidy of gold, And he kept reassuring the civilians that they would not attack Middenheim. Although this semi-forcible expulsion is very inhumane, His Royal Highness Teucer will definitely complete 100% of his mission.

While Teucer was still thinking about how he felt the shout, the smell of blood became more and more obvious as the knights advanced, and Teucer immediately came to his senses and ordered the knights to scatter left and right, and investigate the situation around the village.

"My lord, the village has been slaughtered, and from the outskirts of the village, the streets are full of corpses."

"Who is so bold as to slaughter the village under the noses of the Imperial and Midan Provincial troops, and has the enemy's whereabouts been found around?"

"There are a lot of horseshoe prints on the other side of the village, and it looks like it's been walking for a while."

The cautious Teucer was not at ease, and sent four more teams of knights to expand the area of exploration in all directions before leading the knights into the village......
