Warhammer in a box

Chapter 394 Chaos Dwarf
At this time, in the former border princes' territories and the land of Tyrell, soldiers and civilians were also preparing for war.

At this moment, it can be said that almost everyone in this land is a soldier.

The civilians of the border princedom, who had lived a good life for a long time and were far away from all threats, were inevitably a little terrified when facing the war that was coming again. After all, the enemy they were facing this time were not pirates or orcs, but an army led by the Chosen Ones of Chaos.

But looking at the warships docked near the port and the weapons in their hands made them feel more at ease again.

The army Terra deployed in the border prince's territory was not large, only five regiments of about 5000 soldiers, as well as some craftsmen from the monastery, priests from the church, and demon hunters.

Since the last large-scale killing of orcs in the Badlands, the threat from the Badlands has been reduced a lot, with only scattered small orc tribes appearing. The nearby dwarves are also an important force in defending the border prince's territory. In order to fight against the upcoming enemies, Terra has mobilized five regiments of soldiers, but this is all the large-scale force that can be mobilized now.

The Empire also needs enough soldiers to maintain stability, and new troops are organized and sent to the Kislev meat grinder every day.

The Inquisitor, Gerhardt and Lecard have also rushed to the border prince's territory to take charge of the situation.

Thorgrim also sat in the command room to discuss with Gerhardt and others how to deal with the next situation. However, with Valaya's return and the acquisition of a large number of Granni holy relics, Thorgrim was full of confidence. At this time, the two rune colossi were outside the Eternal Peak Fortress not far away.

The war airship in the sky, carrying the dwarf warriors, had already landed above the nearby Blackfire Pass.

"Gerhard, Lecard, the rangers have already passed on the intelligence. The tribesmen near Eight Peaks Mountain have also discovered something. A large Nurgle army has crossed the mountains and reached the Badlands. They ignored Eight Peaks Mountain and bypassed it and continued to come towards us. There are not many tribesmen in Eight Peaks Mountain. We can only defend and have no spare energy to take the initiative to attack." Thorgrin's voice was slightly apologetic.

After all, the Bafeng Mountain that had just been recaptured cannot change hands again.

"It's okay, Lord Thorgrin, but our dragon riders and thunder eagles have also detected some information that you are very interested in."

"Oh? Please tell me."

"We have detected some peculiar Dwarves, I presume they are your kin who have sided with Chaos."

After hearing Gerhardt's words, Thorgreen slammed his fist on the table, leaving a huge dent on the solid metal tabletop.

"Fellows who believe in Chaos?" Thorgrin thought of an enemy that they had almost forgotten, the Chaos Dwarves. The Chaos Dwarves did not have a strong desire for expansion, and because their population was smaller than that of ordinary Dwarves, these Dwarves living in their own area, called the Zar Plains, did not have much intersection with the Old World.

"Zar dwarves?"

"Zar?"

"That's right, Zar also means Flame Dwarf, it's just what they call themselves. Gerhardt, please be sure to hand these dwarves over to us. No matter what, believing in Chaos is a blasphemy against the ancestors, and they must atone with their lives." Thorgrin continued.

"It is possible, but this can only be done if it does not affect the battle situation."

"Do not worry."

All races that believe in gods will have some common problems, not to mention that these gods once really existed and would appear beside their believers to help them overcome difficulties.

The problem is that if the gods do not show up in the face of a huge disaster or despair, they are very likely to turn against us.

Archaon's prayer to Sigmar was not answered because of Be'lak's mischief, but the Chaos Dwarves simply did it because their ancestors were struggling to save themselves and had no time to spare. The Golden Age Dwarves expanded madly to the entire world, and of course a considerable number of them came to the land where the Chaos Dwarves now live. After the Chaos invasion, they prayed desperately to their ancestors but received no response. Instead, they waited for a Chaos God called Hasut, the Bull God.

Hasut taught them a special way to master magic and also gave them the blasphemous art of forging.

Chaos Dwarf Warlocks can use rituals and blood sacrifices to summon demons, and then seal the demons into machines, allowing these machines to possess powerful strength and endless power, which is very similar to the Dark Mechanicus.

The powerful Chaos Dwarf Lords who came to the Badlands with Tamur Khan this time were Dranihoz the Ash and Zatan the Blackheart.

To be honest, this time the black-hearted Zatan did not want to join this war. Although they also believed in a Chaos God, they were very different from the believers of the Four Gods who wanted to destroy the world.

The Chaos Dwarves care more about their assets than about the war. Blackhearted Zatan says that he feels very wronged, as he was originally the biggest slave owner of the Chaos Dwarves in the Zar's Tower.

The Chaos Dwarves have a low population and need a large amount of labor, so they enslave greenskins and goblins to work for them. The Black Orcs are the product of their dark technology.

Suddenly one day, the most orc warlords and orc shamans he had ever seen in his life appeared at the same time and launched an attack on his factories and mines.

Zatan asked where these greenskins came from and how come they appeared out of thin air?
The leader of this group of greenskins was none other than Grom Ironhide, who was defeated in the Badlands.

After the defeat in the Badlands, the greenskin population will need some time to recover. If he, who was forcibly rescued by Gogo and Maogo, wants to gather an orc army again for revenge in the shortest time possible, he can only think of one place.

That was the Chaos Dwarf Mine where he had been imprisoned and enslaved.

Last time he fought his way out and escaped, but this time he attacked.

Although he failed in the badlands last time, he did not lose the trust of the second brother Gao Mao. After all, his enemy was someone that even Gao Ge and Mao Ge themselves could not defeat.

Ironhide, who had suffered heavy losses, gathered all the beaten orcs in the badlands in the shortest time possible, and once again gained the position of boss with his unrivaled strength.

As he moved forward, he continued to gather the scattered orcs in the mountains, and relying on his past memories, Ironhide once again fought his way back to the land of the Chaos Dwarves.

The injured Goge and Maoge were also eager for revenge, and the two gods also provided convenience for the orcs.

They concealed the traces of Ironhide's army and allowed them to launch a successful raid.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the enemy, Blackheart Zatan immediately ordered his people to resist, but seeing Ironhide's arrival, the orc slaves also began to rebel. They attacked the overseers, and the goblin commanders who were the lackeys of the Chaos Dwarves were immediately smashed into meat paste with stones.

Soon the wind of uprising swept across the entire territory of Zatan, and even the lackey goblins joined the uprising.

With the help of the demon machines, Zatan defended his tower. Faced with the demon machines that could cause massive casualties and the shells fired from the tower, Ironhide did not choose to storm the tower. Instead, he turned around and quickly retreated with a large number of orcs and began to head towards other Chaos Dwarf factories. Killing all the Chaos Dwarves was not his main goal.

Afterwards, Zar was extremely angry when he looked at the empty factory. If he could not replenish slaves or more assets, he would be ruthlessly killed in the internal strife among his own people. This was also the main reason why he chose to join this war.
