Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

However, as Solas' confidant, Garin's elder, and the one who taught Garin martial arts since childhood, Amor is qualified to question whether the colony chosen by Garin is an enclave.

Because Kalimdor is too far away from Stromgarde, and the Kingdom of Stromgarde lacks a large long-distance fleet, building a colony in West Kalimdor diverts the people of Stromgarde from their livelihood, and commercial resources cannot quickly support Stromgarde's homeland, and military resources cannot quickly support Arathi Highlands' homeland.

In Amor's opinion, the cost outweighs the gain.

Garin also understood what Amor meant, that he was out of reach.

However, in a world with magic, everything is possible. There is a kind of magic called portal that can make the world go by. If one portal can't solve the problem, then build two.

"The mineral resources here are very rich. The mineral deposits in the Stonetalon Mountains are comparable to those in the Alterac Mountains. This alone is worth our development. In addition, the largest force here is the quilboar, who are much easier to deal with than the trolls in the Hinterlands!"

Garin began to explain that the main reason was that the resources in the Arathi Highlands were not rich enough. Apart from the fertile grasslands, only the Alterac Mountains had mineral deposits, and some of them belonged to the nobles of Stromgarde. Unlike here, Garin could eat all by himself.

Not only the mines in the Barrens, but also the mines in Mulgore can be developed. The backward smelting technology of the Tauren has made their iron ingot reserves seriously insufficient, and a large number of Tauren warriors can only use traditional totem poles as weapons.

Therefore, the Tauren turned to their allies and invited the Crusaders to open mines in Mulgore, and they would share a portion of the steel smelted by the Crusaders.

The main reason, which Garin didn't mention, is if we don't occupy such a good place, will we leave it to the orcs in the future?

"The trolls of Hinterland are not easy to deal with. They are a race with a long history. Although their weapons and equipment are backward, their combat power is not bad. Moreover, they have the Loa gods who believe in them behind them. They should not be underestimated. Once they are dragged into the quagmire of war, Stromgarde will be in great danger."

This is why Garin is not considering marching into Sintlan at this stage. Not only do the trolls have super strong recovery abilities and vitality, but when they are forced into a corner they will summon the Loa demigods to join the battle. This is a typical case of beating the younger ones and then going home to call the older ones, which is not a martial ethics.

The boar people are, relatively speaking, soft persimmons.

"And, Amor, have you ever heard of druids?"

"I have come into contact with the high elves of Dalaran and have heard a little about druids, Your Highness."

"Druids are believers of the God of Nature. They can harness powerful natural forces to maintain balance and protect life. They have established an organization called the Cenarion Circle. Their headquarters is in the north of this land. Perhaps we can use their power to restore the vegetation here and transform it into a land suitable for our survival!"

Having said that, Garin is not going to ask the night elves for help. He has his own way to transform the Gobi Desert in the Barrens by using farms and irrigation from the Fountain of Life!

"Finally, I chose this place because Mentor Gandalf improved the technology of the constant portal and reduced the cost of the materials used in the portal. Although it is not as strong as the Legion Portal, it is enough for hundreds of people to teleport together!"

"I understand what you mean, Your Highness!"

Amor was persuaded by Garin and no longer worried about whether the land was an enclave. The two then returned to the newly built town hall in the center of the fortress. Omar and others were already waiting there, and Garin was preparing for a pre-war mobilization.

"Varocar, Dezco, how is your cleanup going?"

"Your Excellency the Duke, the twenty-nine wild boar villages of all sizes in the southern part of Thorn Ridge have been completely cleared, more than 16,000 adult wild boar warriors have been killed, and more than 20,000 wild boar warriors have been captured! Our army's casualties are minimal!"

"The Kodo Knights have not lost any men. The wounded have all recovered and are ready to fight at any time!"

"The Fourth Legion is led by Flar and stationed on the western hillside of Thorn Ridge. Kimir is already on his way with the prisoners and is expected to reach the Crusader Fortress by noon!"

"Very good, you did a great job! You should be credited with the greatest achievement in this battle of Thorn Ridge!"

Valencar was all smiles. It was undoubtedly exciting for him to be able to achieve great success in his first time leading an army. Not only did it prove his ability, but it also did not disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince. He believed that Flair and Kimir would be as excited as he was to hear the prince's praise.

"Omar, how is the recent defense of the Crusader Fortress?"

"In the past two days, the Steel Mane Wild Boar have tried to sabotage the construction of the city wall many times, but they are all small groups and have not caused much impact on the progress of our project!"

"Keep an eye on their movements and send more scouts to explore the area ten miles to the east. We cannot let them destroy the construction of the Crusader Fortress."

The construction of the Crusader Fortress attracted most of the attention of the Steel Mantle Tribe's high-ranking officials, creating convenient conditions for Varokar and his men's purge operations.

In addition, they acted quickly, the legions cooperated with each other and blocked the news. The Steel-maned Boar people, who were used to being domineering, had long believed that no one dared to invade their territory, so they have not yet discovered that their southern region has fallen.

"Herni, are the harpies in the north making any moves?"

"According to the scouts' investigation, there are harpies in the Forgotten Pond Oasis northwest of the Crusader Fortress, but they have not crossed the Forgotten Pond Oasis!"

At this time, Dezco spoke up: "The harpies are active in spring and summer. This is their breeding period. They will capture creatures of various tribes and return to their own territory. Autumn and winter are not their breeding seasons, so they only capture prey to meet their daily food and clothing!"

That is to say, it is already autumn now, so the harpies will not move out on a large scale, but it is not ruled out that they will attack the Crusader Fortress under the leadership of their leader and disrupt Garin's plan to attack Thorn Ridge.

After listening to reports from all sides, Garin closed his eyes and thought for a while. At the same time, he also gave Amor, Gimli and Rendan, who had just arrived, some time to react. They had just arrived in Kalimdor and did not understand the situation here.

Amor and Rendan were shocked by Garin's strength, especially Amor, who had followed the prince since he founded the Red Flame Army. He was shocked by the speed of the prince's development! It's only been a few years? It looks like there are at least seven or eight legions!

Where did the prince recruit so many troops?

But after being shocked for a while, he temporarily suppressed his inner doubts and secretly glanced at Gandalf out of the corner of his eye.

Oh no, Galen noticed it, but I wonder if Gandalf was blamed.

Amor breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, the legion commanders under the prince were all his acquaintances. Omar, Varokal, Fadir, Flar and Kimir, these five people were all native citizens of the Kingdom of Stromgarde and could be considered his students. Among them were royal guards and children of royal nobles. Together with himself, they now served as the legion commanders of most of the legions under the prince. At least so many of the prince's troops were under the control of their own people.

At the same time, Amor was also very pleased. He felt that although the prince had the help of this unfathomable wizard, his own abilities were also good. He had grown up and was ready to expand territory for the kingdom, breaking the embarrassing situation of Stromgarde being trapped in the Arathi Highlands!

"I have decided to launch the siege of Thorn Ridge tomorrow!"

"Oh!"

"Great!"

"Let's do it!"

The generals had been waiting for this day for a long time. In the past period of time, they saw Varokar and others escorting prisoners into the Crusader fortress continuously. They had achieved many victories, but they were still stationed in the same place and even building a fortress. This made Omar and others hold their breath. When they heard the news of the attack, they were extremely excited.

"Omar, Fadil, march due east, clear out the wild boar villages along the way, then join up with Flar's army and drive the wild boar north!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!" Omar and Fadil obeyed.

"Henni, Amor, you will march from the north to the south, block the north of Thorn Ridge, and wait for Omar and his men. We will launch a general attack on the Golden Tent of the Steel Mane Wild Boar Chieftain."

"Gimli, take Rendaen with you. Leave a part of the Thunder Legion to watch over the Forgotten Pool to prevent the harpies from crossing the border. The rest of the troops will be stationed at the passages between the Northern Barrens and the Eastern Barrens to intercept the boars' requests for help from the Eastern Barrens and guard against the boars' reinforcements!"

"After Kimir's Fifth Army arrives, rest immediately and follow Omar all the way! Varokar, Dezko, you will follow the army and try not to participate in the battle. Regain your strength and prepare for the final battle!"

"Gandalf and I will stay in the Crusader Fortress and provide support at any time!"

"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke!"

While chatting and laughing, the masts, oars and sails were reduced to ashes!

Jialin also experienced the feeling of being in charge of the country. With just a few orders from him, he had tens of thousands of troops at his disposal, and a few words could decide the rise and fall of a force.

But he will not be satisfied with this. His mind is very clear now. If it were in other worlds, he might be complacent, but this is Azeroth, there are Titans, true gods, other planets with life, and various Eternal bosses in the Shadow Realm. Now this achievement is really nothing.

Bullying the wild boar people is not a real skill. Garin's army now completely crushes the wild boar people in terms of numbers and equipment.

Excluding the wild boarmen cleared out by Varokal, the entire Steelmank tribe still has more than 60,000 people. If the Steelmank tribe is willing to fight for it, they can also mobilize 30,000 troops, thanks to the habits of the wild boarmen.

They will expel the old boarmen who have lost their fighting ability, except for the boarmen who can reproduce and the growing cubs.

This ensures that the clan is full of valuable members, and when necessary, half of the adult boarmen in the tribe can take up weapons and fight.

The next day, Omar and his men lined up inside the fortress. On the flat land, the First Legion, the Third Legion and the Fifth Legion formed neat columns, waiting for the order to set off.

When there are more than a hundred people, they form groups; when there are more than a thousand people, they form a mighty procession; when there are more than ten thousand people, it is boundless. This team of more than 20,000 people slowly set out, as black and dense as marching ants, which is very spectacular.

After Garin watched the army leave, the interior of the fortress did not become empty, as the Gale Legion and the Target Legion also began to gather.

Garen returned to the town hall. He and Gandalf were in charge of the overall situation and were ready to support them with group teleportation at any time.

This time, it’s going to be a big one, a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people. Garin feels a little excited just thinking about it.

..............................

The Crusader Fortress is only sixty or seventy kilometers away from the territory outside Thorn Ridge. The Steelmane Boarmen not only live at the foot of the Thorn Ridge, but many of their warriors have built villages on the plains outside. These small villages form the huge Steelmane Tribe. Basically, no caravan dares to pass through the passages around Thorn Ridge.

In Garin's vision of the Heart of Origin, after Omar and his men left the Crusader Fortress, they dispersed, with each legion five kilometers apart, forming a network that plowed all the villages outside the Thorn Ridge.

This time the Crusaders' military action was open and aboveboard, without any disguise. All of a sudden, the Steel Mane Wild Boarmen's high-ranking officials found that there was smoke of war in the west of them, and Amor and Heni were also pressing forward in the north. All of a sudden, waves of emergency rescue teams appeared in the Steel Mane Golden Tent in the Northern Barrens on their border.

The leader of the Steelhair Tribe, Sharpfang, angrily threw his beloved kettle to the ground, and the pieces scattered all over the ground. He shouted loudly: "What's going on! Where did this group of people who call themselves humans get so many troops! How dare they invade our territory!"

"Lord Sharpfang, let's quickly ask Lord Brokenspear for help! The enemy's attack is too strong, we can't resist it at all!"

"Useless, all useless. Where is the Blade? He has more than 10,000 tribal warriors in the south. Why didn't he send any warning and let the enemy enter the heart of Thorn Ridge?"

The warriors below didn't dare to make a sound, but they also guessed that the largest village stationed south of Thorn Ridge was definitely doomed, and one of the strongest warriors of the tribe, Tu Ren, was in great danger.

Tu Ren had died at the hands of Dezkode long ago, and his soul had been taken away by Garin. For these heroic spirits that were of little use, their final outcome was that they were made into soul essences by Garin and used to enhance the strength of the generals under his command!

Seeing the leaders of the few remaining large villages below, Sharp Fang suppressed his anger and issued a final order: "Call back all the warriors and gather at the Golden Tent. We will fight these humans to the death! The Steel Mantle Tribe will never surrender. Let them know how powerful we are!"

"At the same time, send a messenger to the east to ask for help, and ask the chieftain to send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Sharpfang was unwilling to accept such a defeat. When the Steelmantle Tribe chose to open up a new territory, he had worked very hard to gain the position of leader of Thorn Ridge. He was unwilling to accept such a defeat!

There are at least 30,000 Thorn Ridge warriors left, so we may not lose!

Sharp Fang silently encouraged himself in his heart!
