You inform the Witch-Hunters that you will spend the next few days recruiting more troops for the anticipated battle of Bechafen. There are several towns on the route between Hutzheim and the capital of Ostermark, but you suspect they will need every body they can get, even if they will be more fodder than soldiers, especially if there are cultists involved. Though you know little about the nature of religion and cults on this world, unless a genestealer stole aboard your ship and survived the trip down, it can only mean one thing. The forces of Chaos. Heresy.
The mere thought of the Archenemy sets your blood boiling. More than any other foe that the Imperium faces, it is by far the most insidious, subversive, and corrupting. You do not know what will face you, and it is a problem that these people do not have the faith in the God-Emperor that sustains so many soldiers and citizens of the Imperium across so many worlds, but you will have to make do. You speak with the Witch-Hunters and agree on a preliminary strategy. They will march to Bechafen along the Bechafen-Kadrin road with the forces from Hutzheim, Nagenhof, and Eisental, which have already begun arriving throughout the day, and they will recruit as many men as they can from the townships and villages along the way. You will do the same, travelling to the townships far west of here, and meet somewhere before Bechafen.
You also inquire about what other forces may be at your disposal, if there are any nobles and knights in this land, and to your relief the Witch-Hunters inform you that there are several, in particular the Grand Templar Order of the Blue Axes, who have often protected the land when it has been invaded in the past. Letters have already been sent, and comrades of theirs, Oskar and Wolfgang, are expected to be with them. However, they are particularly anxious as Bechafen is the core of Ostermark’s defence, and as a fortified city there are few that can match its defences, and the army at its disposal.
You also ask if the money given to you by Gnorri Ironhide may be of any use in training the men, and they reply that there will doubtless be mercenaries throughout the towns who will take up the opportunity for some easy coin, though you will have to see when you recruit them.
