In that battle, Westerland, later known as Marienburg, was the first to choose to join Sigmar's team.

Most of the human tribes throughout the Old World responded to Sigmar's call and gathered their armies to march south to fight against the green-skinned orcs.

But the combat effectiveness in this battle was quite disparate.

At that time, humans had just mastered the bronze forging technology, and only high-ranking generals were qualified to use the high-quality iron weapons sent by the dwarves.

Although the dwarves taught humans how to forge pig iron and steel, the battle came too suddenly and there was no time to prepare.

Except for the personal soldiers of each human tribal chief who were equipped with iron tools and iron armor, the rest of the human soldiers could only carry bronze tools, and most of them did not even wear armor.

The dwarves only sent two legions, but it was still a fairly large army.

Across the Blackfire Pass, the greenskin army formation looked like a green ocean, making all the human soldiers present worried.

But the appearance of Sigma more or less boosted everyone's courage. He hoped to use the terrain advantage to resolve the greenskins' numerical advantage.

Due to the huge size of the Greenskins, they faced the risk of various internal strife with every step they took, giving Sigmar enough time to assemble and reorganize his army.

At the narrowest part of Blackfire Pass, Sigmar's army had already gathered, but facing the terrifying tide of greenskins, such a small number of people was still not enough.

Later imperial historians recorded the horror of the battle in song.

In the early and middle stages of normal battles, it was the greenskin army that suppressed the coalition forces of humans and dwarves.

Until the last moment, the orc general Ugrik Bloodfang rode his wyvern to come over and kill the general, causing the morale of the human side to collapse.

As a result, Sigma first killed the wyvern with a hammer, then knocked Ugrik's weapon away with another hammer, and then with the last hammer, Ugrik's head was directly smashed.

The morale of the humans was greatly boosted, and they completely drove the greenskin troops, who were trapped in fear and terror, out of the Blackfire Pass.

During the rout, almost all the greenskins were chased to death, and every inch of land was burned by flames to ensure that these guys would not grow out of the ground again.

After this battle, all humans in the Old World Empire united together and formed what was later called the Empire.

In order to repay their kindness, the dwarves promised to give the new empire twelve rune swords.

Since then, most of the threats to the entire empire have been eliminated. In order to defend against the greenskins who may come from the badlands in the south at any time, the empire built a fortress city called Border City here, which is also where Windlow is currently settled.

This border town was certainly not built during the Sigmar period.

Although the newly born human empire had unparalleled unity and order, it could not withstand the passage of time.

1700 years later, the human empire was plunged into civil war and strife, and a greenskin warrior named Gorbad Ironclaw led a large army into the Blackfire Pass.

At this time, the empire had lost its emphasis on border defense, and the border city left by Sigmar was easily destroyed.

The Moot Territory was captured, and almost all the Halflings were eaten by the Greenskins. This group of fragile creatures couldn't even defeat the Snotlouts among the Greenskins, let alone the Goblins.

Soon after, Iverland was also destroyed by Gorbad Ironclaw, the Elector Count of Solland was killed directly, and the city of Nuln was burned to the ground.

Outside of Glenburg, Gorbad Ironclaw successfully used his tactical talents to defeat all of the Imperial cavalry forces.

The number of Rick's Guards, the Flame Sun Knights and the Cheetah Knights was reduced to single digits.

In this battle, Gorbad Ironclaw was seriously injured. In great anger, he made a very irrational decision and ordered the large army to march directly from Grunberg to attack the imperial capital of Altdorf.

The greenskin troops released their wyverns, and these terrifying monsters flew directly into the palace area of ​​Altdorf and tore the emperor to pieces.

But during the siege, the number of greenskins continued to decrease, giving the Empire a chance to win.

Seeing that he was no longer able to attack the city, Gorbad Ironclaw had no choice but to lead his troops in a retreat southwards. However, when they were passing through Blackfire Pass, they were ambushed by dwarves and their entire army was wiped out.

From then on, the Empire began to pay attention to the defense system of Blackfire Pass.

Although the entire Blackfire Pass area is a geologically active zone, earthquakes occur from time to time, destroying all the castles and walls that have been built.

But further north, the lands once chosen by Sigmar were rebuilt in Averland.

The border town where Windlo is currently located was built in 1720 of the Imperial Calendar, and exactly 2520 years have passed since 800 this year.

For 800 years, it has been receiving assistance from various provinces of the empire. Due to the disastrous defeat that year, the military here has never been neglected.

Even a businessman like Windlow knew that the battle would not start in the border city.

As a forward outpost, the purpose of this place is to assemble the army and provide support to Blackfire Pass at any time.

The Green Orcs always have a numerical advantage over the Empire, so it is necessary to form an army in a narrow terrain and use the powerful long-range gunpowder weapons and magic of humans and dwarves to fight against the huge scale of the Green Orcs.

There were quite a few people in the border city at this time, and they came from all over the place.

There were local soldiers from foreign expeditions, as well as the Bull Knights who came from afar, and even land ships from Marienburg.

Although Marienburg has separated from the Empire, they are not sure whether the greenskin army will plunder all the way to Marienburg if the Black Fire Pass is lost.

There are almost all kinds of imperial troops here, even some bandit troops who used to make a living by looting and now want to get some extra rewards by joining the army.

As for small nobles and barons like Windlow, there are countless of them, and everyone is eager to achieve fame and success through a victory.

War is the quickest path to power.

Of course, in addition to the nobles and soldiers, there is another group that Windlow is very familiar with, that is, merchants.

Where there is war, there is naturally business, and this is the purpose of Windlow coming here.

The things sold by the merchants are also very simple, fine wine and delicious food.

Ordinary soldiers make a living by tying their heads to their belts. Naturally, they have no thoughts or ideas about saving money and just live for the moment.

But Windlow discovered a market that had never been explored before.

That is.
