The forces of Order managed to gain entry to the Ironholds in the last battle, and they are now in position to take the Mercurial Gate. Will the forces of Chaos be able to rally to its defence in time?
The Story So Far
The combined forces of Stormcast Eternals and Fyreslayers were now just one long march away from the Mercurial Gate. Fortunately, the moving parts of the Ironholds had configured themselves so a single bridge could carry them the rest of the way, a span of metal so wide a thousand men could march side-by-side. To add to their luck, the bulk of the defenders were still fighting at the outer walls, against the Stormcasts and Fyreslayers Sigmar had sent as a distraction.
Maintaining a great pace, they finally reached the Citadel of the Ironholds in the centre of the Molten Sea, home to the Mercurial Gate. However, as they approached, its gates opened to reveal Archaon himself, at the head of an army of Chaos Warriors and the Varanguard.
Archaon had discovered Sigmar’s plans to take the All-Gates and resolved to halt the Stormcasts at the All-Gate. As he rode forward at the head of his army, the Stormcasts and Fyreslayers prayed they could at least slow the Everchosen down so just a few might reach the Mercurial Gate.
