Warhammer in a box

Chapter 7 Goblin Wolf Rider

"Captain Gurman, do you think that god really exists? Could it be some kind of evil chaotic existence? If it really exists, and the soldiers and civilians here all believe in this god, what should the empire do? Look, they don't even care about the existence of the empire anymore."

At this time, Gulman, the captain of the Imperial Knights, was patrolling along the forest north of the town with his 20 subordinate Imperial Knights. Listening to the words of the knights beside him, Gulman frowned.

In the previous battle to defend the city wall, the knights were completely unable to play a role due to the narrow terrain, and were even inferior to two spearmen. Therefore, Gulman did not go and did not see with his own eyes the scene where Zhang Heng killed an orc with one finger.

Listening to what people said from time to time, Gurman always believed that this was just a lie that Ludwig deliberately colluded with everyone to maintain morale. Would the gods interfere in the defense of a small city?

He would provide his followers with faith, courage, and even the power to defeat their enemies, but to do it himself? That was unheard of.

As the captain of a knight squad, Gulman is originally a knight noble of the empire. Although he is only the lowest-ranking noble, he is still a staunch supporter of the empire's official church, the Church of Sigmar. He believes that Sigmar is the only god of mankind.

Even when facing another wolf god with earlier origins in the empire, the Church of Ulric represented by the god of war Ulric, he believed that Sigmar was the orthodox one, not to mention Zhang Heng, a god who appeared out of nowhere.

But until he saw with his own eyes the huge food that appeared out of thin air in the square, he was shaken. This was definitely not something that could be created by human power. He had a firm belief in Sigmar, but the great Sigmar had not performed a miracle for an unknown period of time. At this time, an unknown god who claimed to be the Emperor actually showed his power to his believers.

The impact of seeing a miracle happening right before one's eyes was incomparable. For a moment, Gurman even wondered if this god was the great Sigmar.

"Ruden, I... I don't know either. What we can do now is to wait for the reinforcements from the empire to come and support us. Before the empire arrives, we must defend this city for the empire, and then report everything that happens here to the empire. Open your eyes and look around! These cunning orcs may appear from nowhere!" Gulman said to the people around him.

"We get it Captain!"

Gurman knew that as a leader he must not say anything discouraging. The empire was in turmoil right now, with constant fighting between the electors, and beastmen, Norsca, and greenskins constantly burning, killing, and looting in the empire. How could the empire have the energy to take care of the small city where he was?

If the Empire wanted to solve it, it would not wait until the greenskins gained a foothold in Steingart!

Shaking his head, Gurman forced himself to focus on the matter at hand again.

Zhang Heng, who was outside the box, looked at this team of imperial knights with curiosity.

There was nothing in the city that could attract Zhang Heng's attention for the time being, but this team with the double-headed eagle logo appearing and disappearing on their heads immediately attracted his attention.

Zhang Heng heard every word that Gulman and the others said. He was still wondering why some people still didn't believe him even though he had performed miracles like this. It turned out that they had already found their spouse.

Some villains in the medieval world might doubt whether the gods they believe in really exist, but Zhang Heng, who knows the background story, knows that most of the gods believed in do exist or have existed before, but these gods are strong or weak, and are either sleeping or completely dead. If the Chaos Evil God had not invaded the mortal world, they would hardly interfere in the struggles in the mortal world.

Just as Zhang Heng was thinking about how to extricate Sigma's followers, there was a sudden movement at the foggy boundary of the box.

"Awoo~" The suppressed howling of wolves began to appear one after another in the forest.

Fifty goblin wolf riders actually came into the forest through the fog. It goes without saying that this group of orcs must be from the Dark Poison Clan of Stangart.

About one kilometer away from them were Gurman's Imperial Knights. With the speed of the Wolf Cavalry, it would only take a moment to reach the distance of one kilometer.

The wolf ridden by the goblin kept twitching its nose, as if it smelled something.

"My baby seems to have smelled the scent of human stuff. Scolum, there has been no news from Laguk for three days. It seems that he has let down Brother Go and Brother Mao and lost to these humans." "Olag, that's perfect. The position of General Laguk is vacant. As long as we bring back the heads of these human stuff, we may be able to become the boss and become bigger and stronger! Waaaagh~"

The two leading goblins let out a disgusting laugh, but won the agreement of all the goblins.

"Waaagh! More Waaagh~"

"Olag, let's split into two groups! We must encircle them and not let any human escape. The large force behind us is on the way, and we can't give our heads to them!"

The two goblins smiled at each other, squeezed their legs together and rushed out in two directions.

Gurman and his imperial knights were still patrolling slowly, unaware of the situation.

Everything on the field was under Zhang Heng's control. Twenty Imperial Knights versus fifty Goblin Wolf Riders. In the game, the Imperial Knights could win by relying on their armor and melee attacks that far surpassed those of the Goblin Riders, but the prerequisite was that both sides were prepared for a head-on battle.

At this time, the Imperial Knights were moving slowly, while the Goblin Wolf Riders launched a charge from two directions. With the power of the charge, I'm afraid that half of these Imperial Knights would die in the first round of encirclement.

"Young man, luckily I'm magnanimous. Even if you don't believe me, I'm willing to help you." While thinking about this, Zhang Heng leaned over and said to Gulman in the box.

"The green-skinned goblin wolf riders are coming. Quickly let your knight hide behind the mound in the north with you."

The voice that came directly from the depths of his soul almost made Gulman fall off his horse.

"Captain! What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Gulman then said to the voice deep in his soul.

"Who! Who is talking?!"

"Just now you were discussing whether I was an evil god, but now you don't know who I am?" Zhang Heng said jokingly.

"Ah!!!!" Gulman really didn't expect that God would have such a bad taste to eavesdrop on people's conversations?

"Stop it! Hurry up if you don't want to die!" Zhang Heng continued to urge.

The conversation just now had obviously broken through Gulman's psychological defenses. Regardless of whether Zhang Heng was a god or not, a terrifying existence that could observe you at any time and sound voices in your head was enough to make Gulman temporarily give up thinking and follow Zhang Heng's instructions.

"Everyone! Follow me!"

Gulman squeezed his legs together and increased his speed. The warhorse quickly brought him to the mound. Although the knights around him did not know why their commander gave such an order, the obedience formed over a long period of time still made them follow.

Not long after everyone hid in the mound, dense wolf howls were heard, and a large number of wolf cavalry rushed out of the forest. The direction of their attack was obviously where Gurman and his men were originally.
