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

At that time, the Kingdom of Alterac could have stopped the orcs with high walls and turrets, but they withdrew their troops and allowed the orcs to pass through several unguarded mountain passes, allowing the orc army to attack all the way to Lordaeron, leading to the fall of Lordaeron.

This is a bit like Wu Sangui leading the Qing troops into the pass.

Of course, this is something that will happen in the future, and Varian doesn't have time to worry about it now. He came here today for the technical drawings of the turret.

King Aiden smiled when he heard that Varian's purpose of visit was for turret technology.

King Aiden had spent a lot of money to acquire artillery technology from the dwarves, and was now worried that no one would share the cost.

Many of these artillery technologies were developed by the dwarves with the assistance of the gnomes, and indeed cost a lot of money.

King Aiden said, "Prince Varian, you know, I spent a lot of gold from the dwarves to acquire artillery technology, and I also spent a lot of research fees to apply artillery technology to turrets."

When Varian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, this guy was probably going to ask for too much.

So he asked tentatively: "If I want the entire turret technology, how many gold coins do I need to give you?"

After hearing this, Aiden rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Twenty thousand gold coins, and I'll give you the entire set of artillery technology."

After saying this, he pretended to be heartbroken.

Varian felt both angry and amused. This lion was asking for too much. The dwarf definitely shouldn't be selling so much artillery technology.

Black-hearted businessman, black-hearted king.

However, the dwarves only have artillery technology, not turret technology, so they still have to purchase it from the Kingdom of Alterac.

Varian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, King Aiden? I don't have that much gold at the moment. How about I exchange five griffins for them?"

King Aiden heard this and immediately made the decision: "It's a deal! Five griffins in exchange for artillery technology!"

After the last military exchange meeting, the Kingdom of Alterac also sent people to Dagger Ridge to buy ten griffins, spending 50,000 gold coins, which really made Aiden heartbroken for a long time. Now, using artillery technology to exchange for five griffins is equivalent to 25,000 gold coins. There is no reason for him to disagree.

After reaching an agreement, Varian immediately returned to the Dagger Ridge base through the time and space portal. After a while, several followers pulled five royal griffins out of the portal and came before King Aiden.

King Aiden looked at the majestic royal griffin in front of him and was very satisfied. He signaled his men to hand over the turret technical drawings to Varian.

Varian took it and looked at it. Not only did it have a full set of turret technology and mortar technology, but it also came with the dwarf's musket technology.

Although King Aiden is greedy and stingy, this deal is very moral.

At this time, Aiden and Varian both thought they had made a big profit.

Mortar technology! This should be the technology developed by the dwarf master craftsman Mekkatorque with the help of Ironforge. With this technology, Varian can also set up the mortar team!

After Varian returned to the Dagger Ridge base, he immediately went to the blacksmith shop with the technical drawings of the artillery.

Several masters in the blacksmith shop took the blueprints, made repeated calculations, and immediately replied that mortars and muskets could also be manufactured here.

The cost of a Mortar is 120 gold and 30 units of wood; the cost of a Musket is 150 gold and 20 units of wood.

Varian immediately placed a large order for 10 mortars and 20 muskets.

He originally wanted to make more, but his wood resources had been exhausted!

In order not to affect the subsequent construction, Varian had to send someone to the sawmill immediately to order 1000 cubic meters of wood.

Of course, the blacksmith shop can only manufacture weapons, and to operate mortar soldiers and musketeers, you need to recruit them yourself.

After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Varian found the engineering team in Moonbrook Town and studied the turret drawings.

After repeated calculations, the construction cost of a turret requires 150 gold coins, 60 units of stone, and 40 units of wood.

Unfortunately, there is no more wood, so we cannot build the turret for the time being. We will have to wait for the lumberyard to deliver the goods before we start building it.

There is no shortage of stone, because the Yuexi Town mine now belongs to him, and there is plenty of stone inside.

He felt that there should be turrets, arrow towers and magic-absorbing towers next to the base, which was an advantage for the human race.

Varian remembered that in the old Warcraft games, many Terrans liked the tower-based play style.

To play this game, you need to bring a lot of peasants to the battlefield to build arrow towers or magic-absorbing towers. These are very powerful and have a great impact on the battle situation.

What's even more outrageous is that the hero can also buy a mini tower in the store and throw it on the ground to quickly build the prototype of a tower.

What impressed him most was the tower-building wave strategy invented by SKY, the human emperor. He would bring a large army and then build four or five towers at the enemy's gate. Then he would fight. The enemy would often lose without even being able to get out of the gate.

This tactic made the human race glorious for a long time.

It was this tower-carrying attack that also allowed SKY to win several WCG championships and be inducted into the WCG Hall of Fame.

This is full of memories.

Coming to my senses, since there is no wood now, I can only wait.

Varian called Gryan Stoutmantle and said, "Go recruit thirty soldiers and prepare to train new soldiers."

Gryan Stoutmantle asked, "Short range or long range?"

"It's long-range, mainly used to control mortars and musketeers. The new weapons will be manufactured in the next few days. You are responsible for training them." Varian said.

"Okay, Your Highness."

After finishing his work, Varian finally had a rare chance to relax and went out for a walk at Dagger Ridge Base.

After walking around, I found that there are already a lot of people in Dagger Ridge Fortress.

Ever since Sir Lothar sent soldiers to Daggerridge for training and achieved great results, after the news reached Ironforge, some Bronzebeard dwarf soldiers also came to Daggerridge for training.

This has greatly boosted consumption in Dagger Ridge.

Now in Dagger Ridge Fortress, in addition to the residents of Dagger Ridge itself, there are also gnolls and murlocs.

In addition to the population of Daggerridge, there are also many merchants, including merchants from Moonbrook, Goldshire, Stormwind, many merchants from Gran Village, and some Darkspear trolls and Zandalari trolls.

There are shops opened by merchants from all over the world in Daggerridge now. You can buy sea fish and crabs from Long Beach, wild boars and coyotes from Westfall, grapes and watermelons from Elwynn Forest, apples and berries from Dawnwood, tigers, leopards, crocodiles and raptors from Stranglethorn Vale.

Of course, there are also various materials, equipment, potions, drinks, etc. from Stormwind.
