===Destruction of Solland and Siege of Altdorf=== After Gorbad had looted and plundered Nuln, the Empire was obviously very keen on killing him before he destroyed any more cities of importance. So in an attempt to bring down Gorbad, the Elector Counts of Solland and Wissenland joined their armies together and marched on Gorbad's Waaagh, who had started raiding the surrounding provinces. It went badly. Really badly. During the first battle the Elector count of Solland was killed by Gorbad who then took the Solland [[Runefang]] and decimated the remaining army. The Elector Count of Wissenland escaped but had no more troops to fight Gorbad, and with no one to put up a fight the Orcs utterly razed Solland. The province was so badly ruined that the Empire decided to just have Wissenland and Averland absorb its land, and is one of only two times the Empire has lost a province it absorbed by its neighbours (the other being Drakwald which was just one big forest which very few people lived in and was infested with Greenskins and [[Beastmen]], so keeping it around was kinda pointless). Gorbad started moving towards Altdorf, and Emperor Sigismund ordered the Knightly orders to start delaying actions to slow Gorbad's Waaagh down and as a result a small army of Empire Knights had formed up under the command of the Elector count of Wissenland. After some flanking and small skirmishes against some Goblins, the Empire knights and Orc boar riders slammed into each other in a massive cavalry battle, with Gorbad at the centre of it. The Elector count of Wissenland noticed Gorbad in the centre of the melee and ordered the knights to concentrate on Gorbad, resulting in Gorbad krumping the lot of them. Realising he was running out of troops, the Elector count led the last wave of knights personally and charged the orcs, king Théoden style. As Gorbad and the possibly suicidal Elector count clashed, the count was able to shove his Runefang through Gorbads chest, and while this certainly injured Gorbad, all it did in the short term was slightly stun him and Gorbad responded to this botched acupuncture by ripping the Elector counts arm off. The remaining knights were able to grab the Elector count and his Runefang before the very angry orc finished him off and high tailed it towards Altdorf with the screams of a very miffed off Gorbad behind them. Pissed off that his enemies escaped him again, Gorbad quickly marched his army towards Altdorf and began to siege the city. It was at this point, perhaps due to his rage, Gorbad started to act strangely (strange for Gorbad, but normally for other Orcs) as he ordered his troops to throw themselves at the walls, which were 25 meters tall and 5 meters thick so the Orcs bounced off the walls and were obliterated by every kind of ranged weapon the Empire had access to. Although Gorbad eventually regained his senses, the unravelling had already begun. Since the Greenskins had suddenly started losing, Gorbad's army started talking about if he no longer had it in him to win, not to mention the wound the Elector Count had inflicted on Gorbad was really starting to hamper him in battle, as it simply wasn't healing (Runefangs motherfucker). Because of this even when Gorbad started acting like a tactician again, large groups of Greenskins started to slip away and go do their own thing. With his army starting to shrink from both desertion and causalities, Gorbad decided to release a group of a dozen wyverns to try and break the defences, a last chance to turn the tide of battle. The wyverns started to cause chaos on the walls and within Altdorf. One of them crashed into the Imperial palace and went fucking mental, killing everyone and eventually getting to the Emperor, who it grabbed hold of and ate him. Unfortunately for Gorbad this didn't break the defenders as they actually martyred their fallen Emperor and fought harder. Despite causing a lot of chaos, the wyverns still failed to break the defences, so with very few boys remaining Gorbad was forced to break the siege and escape to the mountains.
