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

The reason why Varian was so concerned was to let Karen and Mathias have a deeper understanding of the training methods of the base's military system.

And rely on the system to improve their strength without anyone noticing.

Once they approve of the training at the base, they are likely to introduce their soldiers and friends to Dagger Ridge Fortress for training.

This is exactly what Varian wants. Improving the combat effectiveness of Stormwind Kingdom soldiers through training at the base will help improve the chances of winning in future orc wars, so the more soldiers come to the base for training, the better.

Also, although the soldiers of the Storm Kingdom can train for free in the barracks at the base, they still have to spend money on food, drink, and daily necessities. As long as there are many people coming to train, they will not have to worry about not making money.

Moreover, they can discover high-quality talents with potential from the trained soldiers and recruit them into their ranks.

Just when Karen and Mathias went to the knight training ground to practice, Varian thought that since everyone had gone to training, it would not be a good idea for him to sleep all day in the magic guild, so he pulled out a griffin and went to practice griffin riding.

Riding a griffin is not an easy task. The griffin itself is a very intelligent creature. If you want to ride it, you must establish a good relationship with the griffin.

In order to get closer to the griffin, Varian fed it some cheese.

After eating the cheese, the griffin made a "cooing" sound and looked very happy.

A special saddle had already been installed on the griffin's back. Varian grabbed the saddle, jumped up, and jumped onto the griffin's back.

Then Varian pulled up on the reins, and the griffin flew toward the top of Dagger Ridge.

After repeated explorations on the top of the mountain, Varian slowly mastered some complex flying maneuvers, such as circling, diving, and sharp turns.

It is easy to learn but difficult to become proficient in it. Varian did nothing else for two days and practiced riding a griffin on the top of the mountain before he could barely reach the basic level of riding.

On the third day, when Varian was about to continue practicing griffin riding, the guards brought a message that the Jangrod Mine in the northern part of the Westerly Wilds had been occupied by a group of kobolds!

Sir Elgadin, the mayor of Moonbrook, asked Varian to come to the mayor's hall to discuss this matter.

When it comes to exterminating the kobolds, only Varian has to step in, because Daggerridge Fortress is the only regular military force in the western wilderness.

As luck would have it, Gavinrad had just been sent back to Stormwind by Varian to help sell seafood; while Gryan Stoutmantle was assigned to Long Beach to manage the safety of the murlocs.

Varian thought about it, and took Karen and Mathias to the mayor's hall.

Varian is very familiar with the kobolds. Not only him, but most of the residents of Azeroth are familiar with them.

They are distributed so widely, not only in the Westwilderness and Elwynn Forest, not only in the human kingdom, but also in another continent, Kalimdor, in Stonetalon Mountains, Arathi Highlands, and other places, there are different kinds of kobolds everywhere.

The population is comparable to that of murlocs.

This small creature that lives in the underground is short and ugly, generally about one meter tall, with a dog's head and a rat's tail, and has a very strong reproductive capacity.

They particularly like to occupy various dungeons, mines, and mines. In order to adapt to the dark environment, they often walk with burning candles on their heads.

Varian remembered that there was a famous kobold leader named Goldfang in the Fargodi Mine in Elwynn Forest.

The Fagodi Mine is the place where almost all human players encounter the Kobolds for the first time.

Varian and his companions soon arrived at the mayor's hall. After they sat down, Sir Elgadin served them chrysanthemum tea.

"Your Highness, what do you think about the matter of the kobolds?" asked Sir Elgadin.

"What is the current situation in the Jangorod Mine?" Varian asked.

"A few days ago, a large group of kobolds attacked the Jangorod Mine. The miners were defeated and retreated to the Gold Coast Mine. The attack resulted in the deaths of ten miners and dozens of injuries." Sir Elgadin said as he opened a report.

"The fighting power of the kobolds is similar to that of the Riverpaw gnolls before. It should not be difficult to wipe them out. I just don't know how many of them there are?" Varian asked.

"According to the scouts' observations and the escaped miners, there are more gnolls coming this time than before, about five hundred of them," said Sir Elgadin.

"I understand! It's not a big deal. We'll set out to wipe out the kobolds tomorrow."

After the meeting made a decision, Varian drank the chrysanthemum tea in his hand, then took Karen and Mathias back to Dagger Ridge Fortress.

Varian plans to let Karen and Mathias join the battle to eliminate the kobolds.

After returning to the castle, as soon as he sat down, Varian asked: "Karen, Mathias, are you interested in participating in the battle with the kobolds this time?"

"Can I?" Karen heard this with a look of disbelief on her face, unable to suppress her excitement.

Caren Lothar is the son of Sir Anduin Lothar. He has always hoped to become a great warrior like his father, but he has trained in Stormwind for many years but has never participated in a war.

The same goes for Mathias. As an assassin, he has never fought in a war or killed anyone, and has never had the opportunity to display and test his strength. Hearing Varian's words, he was very excited and eager to try.

Varian looked at the expressions of the two men and couldn't help laughing.

Then, pull the troops out and assemble.

The troops assembled this time include Halberdiers, Archers, Crusaders (an upgraded version of Swordsmen), Griffin Knights (a combination of Griffin and Priest), and Champion Knights (an upgraded version of Cavalry).

One hundred and forty halberdiers, more than sixty sharpshooters, thirty or so crusaders, twenty griffin knights, and forty-five champion knights (the thirty cavalrymen of the Dagger Ridge Guard have also been upgraded to champion knights in the knight training ground).

There are more halberd soldiers, because many of the soldiers recruited from Yuexi Town have been trained as halberd soldiers in the sentry tower, and their combat effectiveness is similar to that of those recruited by the system.

In order to improve the sharpshooter's defense, Varian specially ordered a batch of blue-quality silver-scale breastplates from the Stormwind Blacksmith Shop, which cost as much as 5 gold each, greatly improving the sharpshooter's survivability.

Karen and Mathias were stunned when they saw the majestic and murderous troops. This army was more elite and more powerful than the knights of Stormwind City.

There were also griffin knights! Karen and Mathias had only heard of griffins in legends. These flying beasts with eagle heads and lion bodies were so large that they could not only attack alone but also carry people to fly. Their eyes widened.

In fact, Varian still has three ballistas, but they have not been pulled out. There is no need to use the ballistas to fight hundreds of ogres.
