Warhammer in a box

Chapter 8 Believe! I Believe

The wolf riders, who were ready to kill, rushed out of the woods shouting "waaagh", but the humans they had imagined to be slaughtered were nowhere to be seen. It was eerily quiet outside the woods, and the goblins and their wolves, who had come up empty-handed, began to circle around in annoyance.

It's like throwing a punch with all your strength, Qwer, but the opponent doesn't respond and dodges, so your entire skill set is wasted.

"Where are the humans?! Where have all the humans gone!" The goblins shouted angrily, and their intelligence was limited to this.

The goblin Skoram looked at the sitting wolf, and saw that the wolf's nose was still moving constantly, which meant that humans must still be around, but he couldn't figure out how these humans discovered such a sudden attack.

The human cavalry was much slower than theirs, and when they occupied Stangat, their tactics of harassment and ambush were always effective.

"Olag, go check over there!" Scram pointed to a mound not far away. This was the only place where people could be hiding.

"I'll go right away."

Just as the goblin Olag pulled the reins and headed towards the mound, dense horse hoof sounds came from behind the mound. Almost at the same time, Gulman, who was wearing silver armor and holding lances, and his knights had all arrived on the mound on their horses.

The sudden appearance of the enemy caused the goblins to fall into some chaos, and looking at these orcs, Gurman felt complicated.

"There really are wolf cavalry? If we were there just now, wouldn't it be..." Gulman didn't dare to think further. From the moment he heard the wolf howling, he knew that Zhang Heng had not lied to him. He and his cavalry were almost on the brink of death. If it weren't for Zhang Heng's voice, it is estimated that few of them would have survived.

Zhang Heng also told him to stand on the mound. Zhang Heng, who had a bird's eye view, had the perfect timing for action, and Gulman chose to believe Zhang Heng.

"Knights of the Empire, we abide by the doctrine, defend the people, defend the hearts, defend the thoughts, and defend the soul! Let us use the lances in our hands to purify the filthy orcs who dare to touch the magical land of the Empire. Hold the lances tightly! Charge!"

There was no need for Zhang Heng to tell Gulman what to do next.

Gurman pulled down his mask, and the sunlight shining on their silver armor made the goblins unable to open their eyes.

Twenty knights took advantage of the slope of the mound to speed up their charge. With sharp lances resting on their chests, the Imperial Knights plunged directly into the chaotic wolf cavalry formation like a sharp arrow.

The unarmored goblins and their wargs were no match for the charge of the Imperial Knights.

Just one contact caused most of the goblins to fall to the ground wailing, and some even had their wargs pierced by their lances.

The goblins, who had no charge bonus, had no effect when their inferior weapons hit the armor of the Imperial Knights.

"For the Empire! Kill!"

Scolam looked at Gulman who was rushing towards him in despair. He was afraid.

"Brother Gao, Brother Mao, for God's sake...how did these humans know our whereabouts?!"

He hastily turned his wolf around and tried to flee the battlefield, but what awaited him was a lance that pierced his chest.

Gulman even lifted the goblin high up and shouted at the defeated goblin: "The enemy general surrenders!!"

Seeing their leader dead, the morale of the wolf cavalry collapsed completely. They fled in all directions in panic, but more of them died on this land.

"Ruden! Stop chasing! Gather everyone! Go back to the city quickly! The wolf cavalry are a reconnaissance unit. The main force of orcs must be behind them. We can't kill all the wolf cavalry." Gulman stopped Ruden and others who were trying to continue chasing the deserters.

"Captain Gurman, how did you know these wolf riders would attack us? You are too amazing!" Ruden said excitedly after returning to Gurman. He had just pierced three wolf riders, which was a real military achievement! "Ruden, if I say it was the god we were just talking about, would you believe me?"

"Ah?!" Luden had guessed many possibilities, but he had never thought of this one. Didn't that mean that everything he just said was heard? Luden looked up at the sky and said quickly, "God, please forgive my offense."

"I forgive you." Zhang Heng looked at Luden and said to him with a malicious look.

"Ah! Did you hear it! Why did I hear someone say forgive me!" The voice also sounded from the depths of Luden's soul.

Looking at Ruden's expression, Gulman said with an unpleasant face, "He must have spoken to you, Ruden. I now believe in his existence a little."

"Captain, me too."

Zhang Heng discovered that the double-headed eagle emblems on the heads of Gulman, Ruden and the knights around him were no longer intermittent, but instead began to solidify, at least to the level of the civilians in the town, indicating that they also began to believe in and have faith in Zhang Heng to a certain extent.

Looking at these little people running towards the town, Zhang Heng smiled with satisfaction.

"I am such a good God. I have done another good thing!"

Soon Gurman returned to the town with the news of the Wolf Riders. He immediately found Ludwig and informed him of the urgency of the situation.

"Ludwig! We are engaged in a battle with the wolf riders. These orcs must have follow-up troops on the way, otherwise they would not have sent out the goblin wolf riders alone. Also, the gods spoke to me."

Gulman told Ludwig about his experience. On the one hand, Ludwig was worried about the orcs' next possible attack, but he was also very happy because there was one more person who could listen to the divine voice. The fact that Zhang Heng helped Gulman deal with the goblins showed that Zhang Heng had been paying attention to the things here, and they were still under Zhang Heng's protection.

"Gurman, I'm glad you have joined us. The Emperor is merciful and kind. Under his glory, these orcs are nothing to be feared. All we have to do is do our own thing well and not let him down!" Ludwig patted Gurman's shoulder heavily.

And Gurman was also infected by his determined eyes.

"Okay! Don't worry! My knights and I will ambush outside the city and wait for the right opportunity to destroy the orcs' siege equipment and archers. Although these greenskins are stupid, they are very strong in fighting. I believe that the orcs will not be so stupid as to come here empty-handed!"

"Okay! Let's defend this city together!"

"Ding Dong, your delivery!"

The sound of a courier was also heard outside Zhang Heng's door.

"Finally here!" Zhang Heng opened the door impatiently, only to see the courier holding a huge package in his hand.

"Hello, your package is quite heavy, why is it making such a clanging sound?"

"Yes, it's mine!" Zhang Heng couldn't wait to take the package from the courier and then closed the door.

"Hey? Is it my illusion? Why do I see a layer of golden halo on this person, giving me a sacred feeling?" The courier rubbed his eyes, but then felt that he must have seen it wrong.
