Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

In fact, for the Whitemane Tribe, the nearby grasslands, prairie wolves and plains chocobos are in great abundance. Their tribe cannot normally eat them all, and now being able to exchange them for wine and weapons is a great thing.

For Thunder Bluff, there is an additional consumer market of more than 5,000 people and an increase in potential labor force, so it can be said that everyone is happy.

After the White-Maned Gnoll left, Varian had his men gather the three hundred kodo beasts and three hundred plains striders that had been collected recently, and then used the magic of the Time and Space Gate to bring these animals back to Dagger Ridge.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea in the castle, Varian asked someone to call Gryan Stoutmantle.

After a while, Gryan Stoutmantle came in and said, "Your Highness, you are back!"

Varian said: "Yes, I brought back some new mounts from Kalimdor, Kodos and Chocobos. You can use them to train new types of soldiers."

Gryan Stoutmantle said, "The big buffalo and the big bird in the grass outside?"

Varian smiled and said, "Yes, you combine the Kodo with Crusader training, and then have the blacksmith build the right armor to train heavy Kodo knights. Then use the Plains Chocobo to train scouts and scouts, because compared to war horses, Chocobos run faster, make less noise, and are more capable of passing through complex terrain."

His initial plan was to take out half of the Kodos and Chocobos and arrange them for military training.

For the remaining half, take some to the cafeteria to add new dishes, and take some to the market to sell Kodo meat and Chocobo meat.

As for raising kodos and chocobos, you don't have to raise them in the Western Plains, you can just raise them in the Mulgore Steppes.

This is just the first batch. With the booming trade in Thunder Bluff, there will be a large number of kodo beasts in the future. It will not be a problem to train a team of kodo heavy armored knights.

Varian then called the captain of the Dagger Ridge purchasing team and asked, "How is the progress of food purchasing and stockpiling going?"

The captain said, "Your Highness, the grain procurement has been going on without interruption. We have eight material warehouses storing more than five million kilograms of grain, including almost all grains on the market, including wheat, pumpkin, grapes, apples, various seafood, and various meats."

Varian said, "Well, you're doing very well. Keep buying and speed up the process. Collect all the food you can without causing too much price fluctuation. Especially the food from Dawn Forest and Redridge Mountains. Try to collect as much as possible."

The captain asked, "Do we also collect food from the Dun Morogh dwarves?"

Varian said: "We will collect everything we can, including the grain from the Dwarven Kingdom."

The captain stood at attention and said, "Understood, Your Highness!"

The reason why Varian was concerned about food storage was that he roughly calculated that the Dark Portal would open in about half a year. At that time, a large number of orcs would enter the Eastern Kingdoms and fight everywhere, and food production activities would become abnormal.

Instead of asking for help from everyone, it is better to prepare early, dig deep holes and store up food.

There are still more than a dozen empty material warehouses in the Yuexi Town mine, and we must find a way to fill them.

In addition to the supply warehouse in the Moonbrook Town mine, there are also more than a dozen supply warehouses in the caves of the Stranglethorn Vale sub-base, which are used to store the food received by the Stranglethorn Vale.

By storing enough food, when war breaks out, you will have enough food for your own use or to support your allies.

The progress was relatively smooth because Varian had a large number of fishing boats and a lot of seafood and food, so Varian's storage operations did not cause too much fluctuation in food prices.

In addition, the acquisition area was particularly wide, especially the grain in the Redridge Mountains and the Dawnwood. All that could be collected was collected. This was Varian's special instruction, so as to avoid giving the orcs an advantage when they came.

The situation is better now, because the Thunder Bluff sub-base in the distant Kalimdor continent has gradually begun to operate normally, and trade has slowly opened up. When a war really breaks out in the Eastern Kingdoms, we can also purchase grain from Kalimdor to support the Eastern Kingdoms.

In addition to the food purchasing team, Varian also set up a hunting team, mainly to capture living things, in the Western Plains, Dawnwood, and Elwynn Forest, to capture edible prey.

This hunting team brought back a lot of prey for the breeding troops in Dagger Ridge, such as blood-tusked wild boars and timber wolves.

It also provided a lot of meat storage for the supply warehouse. Only those prey that were severely injured and difficult to raise were eventually turned into meat and stored in the supply warehouse.

In fact, Varian knew other places, such as the Swamp of Sorrows on the southeast coast of the continent, where there were also a lot of prey, including crabs, crocodiles and the like, but they were too far away, so he had to give up the prey there.

After the food problem was solved, Varian suddenly thought, why not let the residents of Dawn Forest go to Dagger Ridge base for some military training?

Training ordinary residents to become qualified militiamen and cultivating them as reserve forces should be of great help in future battles.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems. There are tens of thousands of residents in the Dawn Forest. After training, they can be used as transport soldiers or something like that.

The cost is not particularly huge. Training a militiaman is estimated to cost only one gold coin, which is only a few tens of thousands of gold coins in total.

Tens of thousands of residents will take turns to participate in militia training, and after the training, they will return to engage in production activities, which will not cause much impact on daily production.

He must go to Gran Village immediately, but he doesn't know the address coordinates of Gran Village.

So Varian immediately called a mage to open a portal to Gran Village in Dawn Forest.

The mage began to cast magic, and with a surge of light, a portal appeared on the grass in front of the castle, and Varian immediately entered the portal.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed and we had arrived at Gran Village.

Varian had never been to Gran Village before, and he didn't expect that Gran Village's economy was relatively developed. At this time, the scale was not much different from the later Night Town, but the level of the village had not yet been upgraded.

This is because the Dawn Forest is the fruit supply base for the entire Storm Kingdom, producing large quantities of apples and berries, and there is an endless stream of merchants and travelers coming here.

It is considered a relatively prosperous town. Although it is not as good as Goldshire and Moonbrook for the time being, it is estimated that it will soon catch up with Lakeside in Redridge Mountains.

It was worthy of being one of the four major towns in the Storm Kingdom.

The current chief of Gran Village is the noble of Stormwind Kingdom, Duke Elro Eberlocke. Varian is somewhat familiar with him, having met him many times in Stormwind City before.
