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

As a veteran who has participated in many battles, Gavinrad has fought against gnolls, murlocs, dire wolves, and trolls. Now he has mastered various skills very well, which enables him to fight among a group of ogres with ease.

As the battle continued, Gavinrad gradually found the ogre's weakness.

Although the ogre is very strong, he lacks in agility and his movements are not that fast.

So Gavinrad slightly changed his battle strategy. He no longer fought the ogre head-on. Instead, he used his agility and superb swordsmanship to avoid the ogre's attacks and constantly launched counterattacks in the gaps between the ogre's attacks. Every attack was precise and deadly.

Soon, several ogres fell under Gavinrad's giant sword.

This aroused the anger of the ogre leader, so he rushed up and attacked Gavinrad fiercely.

But Gavinrad relied on his agility to constantly avoid the fierce attacks of the ogre leader.

Finally, at a decisive moment, Gavinrad took advantage of the flaw revealed by the ogre leader and pierced the ogre leader's heart with a sword.

The little ogre leader suddenly widened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were full of unwillingness. After shaking on the spot for a few times, he fell heavily to the ground.

With the fall of the little leader, the other ogres were shocked and panicked. Their morale dropped greatly. They had lost their fighting spirit and began to disperse in all directions.

However, the knights around them did not let the ogre go, but followed closely and chased it.

How could a two-legged ogre outrun a knight riding an elite warhorse?

The knights quickly caught up with the ogre and slashed at him from behind.

The ogre was hit and bleeding profusely, so he had to turn around and fight back.

But how could the desperate ogres be a match for the knights with high morale?

Soon, dozens of ogres on the field were slaughtered by Gavinrad's knight team.

Seeing that all the ogres were dead, Gavinrad said, "Brothers, you have done a great job again. Cut off the heads of these ogres and let the residents see what kind of monsters have invaded our homes!"

The soldiers cheered.

Soon, the knights cut off the heads of dozens of ogres. Each of them carried two or three ogre heads and ran towards Gran Village happily.

The heads of these ogres are not only proof of their battle achievements, but also an important prop to boost morale.

Sure enough, after dozens of ogre heads were pulled back to Gran Village, they were highly praised by Duke Elro Eberlock, and also greatly boosted the morale of the militia in the Dawn Forest.

Duke Elro Eberlock said to the militia in the square: "Did you see that? These monsters that appeared out of nowhere are not as powerful as imagined. Our soldiers can still defeat them and cut off their heads."

The militiamen looked at the pile of bloody ogre heads and shouted excitedly in the square: "We must win, we must win!"

Afterwards, Duke Elro Eberlock said to Gavinrad: "You and your knight squad are very brave. I will apply for a reward from the kingdom for you!"

Gavinrad said: "Although this is all our responsibility, I still want to thank the Duke for my brothers!"

Gavinrad is also a man who values ​​friendship. He is Varian's trusted general, and he had just received 40,000 gold coins in Uldaman not long ago. He may not care much about the kingdom's reward, but he is also willing to fight for benefits for his brothers.

The next day, 10,000 soldiers sent by Sir Lothar also arrived at Gran Village, and another 10,000 soldiers also went to Red Ridge Mountains.

Among the soldiers sent to the village of Gran, there were 3000 archers, 5000 infantry, 1000 knights, and 1000 musketeers.

Most of these soldiers have been trained in the military camp of Dagger Ridge Fortress, so their strength is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Varian felt that in the early stages, with these 10,000 soldiers, Gran Village could hold out for a long time, or at least greatly slow down the orcs' exploration pace.

If the orcs come with too few troops, they will not be able to defeat humans; if they come with too many troops, then baggage and food will become a problem.

In the original novel, Sir Lothar had never been to the Cursed Lands to see the number of orcs, so at the beginning, Gran Village and Redridge Mountains had little defensive power, and did not call on residents to retreat, resulting in very heavy casualties.

The situation is much better now. With 10,000 regular army soldiers and tens of thousands of trained militiamen, they can hold out in the early stages no matter what.

Varian decided to send some soldiers to assist in the defense of Gran Village.

So, after Varian returned to Dagger Ridge, he assembled 2000 Halberdiers, 1500 Archers, 1000 Riflemen, 1000 Griffin Knights, 800 Crusaders, 500 Champion Knights, 300 Witches, 250 Mortar Squads, and 150 Priests, and then teleported to Gran Village.

After arranging the soldiers, Varian took a closer look at the defenses of Gran Village.

The defense is still a little poor. There are no solid stone walls, only some wooden walls, which can't withstand anything. You know, orcs also have catapults, and their power is quite powerful.

It is too late and unnecessary to rebuild the city wall now. Gran Village will definitely not be able to be defended.

Now many residents of Gran Village have retreated to Stranglethorn Vale.

We must now defend Gran Village as long as we can and try to consume the manpower of the orcs and ogres as much as possible.

In the event of a large-scale orc attack, the only safe places for humans are Stormwind City and Daggerridge Fortress.

There was no Varian before, so Stormwind fell.

Stormwind City now has many turrets and arrow towers built, making it much more stable than before. More importantly, the troops from Dagger Ridge Fortress and even the troll troops from Stranglethorn Vale can now be transported to Stormwind City for support through the magic of the Space-Time Gate.

With Varian's troops, it should be no problem to defend Stormwind City.

As for the Stranglethorn Vale of the Trolls, it can definitely be defended.

Even in the original work, without the assistance of humans, the trolls of Stranglethorn Vale still fought off the orcs. Not to mention that now Stranglethorn Vale has a large number of turrets and arrow towers built by Varian.

Therefore, ever since the trolls in Stranglethorn Vale unified, Varian had arranged for residents to enter Stranglethorn Vale to plant and raise crops, in case one day Dawnwood and Elwynn Forest were invaded by orcs, there would still be a place where they could carry out normal production activities and harvest food.
