[edit] Characters and plot

The series follows a few characters in each issue.

Sergeant Vogal leads the Averland's regiment of Greatswords, a unit of the greatest, hand-picked soldiers, chosen by the Elector Count himself. However, as the battle rages on, despite the Elector Count and his closet officers on Griffin-back joining the battle, his hand is forced to call for a retreat as Chaos magic decimates the Imperial army, severely troubling him as the Greatswords are sworn to never retreat in battle. He is then knocked unconscious as a regiment of Chaos Warriors follows the retreating Greatswords and traps them in a wood.

Widdman leads the Averland Army's gun battery. He is seen tasking other men to use cannons to soften the Warriors of Chaos' initial charge. However, a few cannons misfire, destroying the battery and he calls for his men to retreat as the Chaos army charges.

Konig is a wizard in the Averland army. When the Averland army is forced to retreat from the Chaos onslaught, another soldier sworn to protect him, helps him to flee.

Skor Lokkinson is a Dwarf who leads a regiment of Dwarfs sworn to the Averland army. When the Averland army retreats, he commands his regiment to continue fighting, despite the odds, and shows visible contempt at the humans' actions.
