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

Early in the morning, while Varian was still eating breakfast, the guard said that the black-gilled murloc had something to report.

"Let it in," Varian said.

After a while, Golugel came to Varian with the unique steps of a murloc.

Varian motioned for Golugel to sit down and have breakfast together.

"It's so early in the morning. Are there any problems with fishing?" Varian asked.

Golugel said: "Your Highness, our ship encountered the Salt Scale Fishmen in the Reef Sea yesterday. They said that the Reef Sea was their territory and would not let our ship pass."

"Didn't you tell them what I said? How dare the Saltscale Murlocs?" Varian said.

"I told you your policy, but the leader of the salt-scale fishmen, Kali, put forward a condition. If you agree to it, he will join us."

"What conditions?"

"Kali said that a large group of secondary water elementals occupied their island, so they had to live in the ruins at the bottom of the Reef Sea. If you can help them kill these secondary water elementals and take back the island, then they can return to the island to live, and the Reef Sea will be given to us. They will also trade with His Royal Highness like the black-gilled fishmen."

After listening to Golugel's words, Varian fell into deep thought.

He remembered that there was an island in the northwest of the Reef Sea with many secondary water elements on it. In previous games, there was a goblin ghost on the island, and many ghost stories were spread, so this island was also called the haunted island.

Varian said, "I understand. You go back first and gather the black-gilled murlocs. Wait for me in the reef sea near the island. I will gather the troops and go over there to destroy all the secondary water elementals."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Gorugel left, Varian thought about it. In fighting on an island, melee infantry and knights are not very useful. Moreover, secondary water elements can fight in the water, so even long-range attacks are not very useful.

So Varian simply recruited a hundred griffon knights, and the air force was enough.

There are also ten priests riding griffins. This is a new type of soldier invented by Varian. They can provide treatment in the air, which is safer.

When Varian flew to the reef sea with his griffin troops, he saw that the three ships he had given to the blackgill murlocs were docked on the shore, and all the blackgill murlocs, as well as a large group of saltscale murlocs, were gathered on the reef coast.

Varian's griffin slowly descended to a height of one meter above the sea surface.

A salt-scale fishman stepped forward and said, "Your Highness! I am Kali, the leader of the salt-scale fishmen. Now the salt-scale fishmen will obey your command."

Varian nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements. The saltscale murlocs and blackgill murlocs will surround the island. I'll lead the griffin troops to attack the secondary water elementals on the island from the air. If any secondary water elementals escape into the sea, you will be responsible for killing them. Is that a problem?"

Golugel and Kali said at the same time: "No problem!"

When flying over the island just now, Varian observed carefully and found that there were nearly five hundred secondary water elementals on the island. No wonder the Saltscale Murlocs were driven to the underwater ruins.

There was no way that he and a hundred griffin knights could kill all these secondary water elementals at once, and they were afraid that they would escape into the sea. So now Varian arranged for the murlocs to surround the island, trying to prevent any secondary water elementals from escaping. They had to be killed so as to avoid any future trouble.

After discussion, it was decided to have the Black-gilled Merfolk surround the north side of the island and the Salt-scaled Merfolk surround the south side of the island.

The murlocs sneaked quietly through the water without disturbing the secondary water elements on the island.

After seeing that the murlocs had arrived at the designated location, Varian and the Griffin Rider flew over the island.

Seeing an area where secondary water elements were concentrated, Varian waved his staff and cast a series of fireballs.

The fireball exploded instantly, turning several secondary water elementals into a pool of water. At the same time, one hundred griffin knights also cast arcane energy balls at the secondary water elementals below.

The sudden attack caught the secondary water elements on the island off guard. They looked up and saw densely packed griffin riders in the sky, attacking them continuously.

However, the secondary water element could not attack the griffin rider in the sky, so it could only keep moving to avoid the attack.

Some secondary water elements on the shore began to dive into the sea.

As soon as they entered the sea, they were besieged by the fishmen who were on high alert in the sea.

The Saltscale Murlocs are also very particular about division of labor and cooperation. The Saltscale Warriors act as tanks in the front, while the Murloc Sages and Murloc Hunters output crazily in the back.

Although the strength of secondary water elements is generally stronger than that of murlocs, the murlocs sat back and waited for the opportunity, outnumbered them, and quickly killed many secondary water elements.

After seeing the secondary water elementals and the murlocs fighting each other, Varian began to give the murlocs buffs, mainly anti-magic spells and body shields.

As a result, many magical attacks from secondary water elements are ineffective and you can only endure them.

Because the attack of Varian and the Griffin Knight was so powerful, more than a hundred secondary water elementals died on the island in a short while. The remaining secondary water elementals had no choice but to dive into the sea in all directions and fight with the murlocs in the sea.

If they go into the sea, they still have a chance to fight. If they stay on the shore, they will just be beaten. They can't hit the troops in the sky at all. The secondary water element is well aware of this.

Soon, the island was surrounded by secondary water elements fighting with the murlocs.

At this time, some murlocs were injured, but there were ten priests riding griffins in the sky who were constantly treating them, so there were basically no casualties among the murlocs.

Varian and the Griffin Knight also chased to the shore and continued to launch magical attacks on the secondary water elements in the sea from the air.

About an hour passed like this, and all the secondary water elements were destroyed.

After the last secondary water element fell, all the fishmen ran to the island, cheering and shouting.

Varian took a look and saw that more than a dozen murlocs were dead. Although the ten priests had tried very hard, the secondary water elementals were indeed quite strong. Killing five hundred of them with only these few casualties was already a huge success.

Varian said to Kali: "This island will be returned to the Saltscale Murlocs! From now on, it will be renamed Murloc Island!"

Kali said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping us take back our homeland! From now on, the Salt Scale Fishmen will obey your orders!"

"You don't need to do anything extra. You just need to do the same as the blackgill murlocs and take the captured crocodiles, sea fish, and pearls to Dagger Ridge for trading! Of course, as the leader, you have to sign a soul contract." Varian said.

Varian is not afraid that the murlocs will not work. The abundant resources in the human world have a huge appeal to the murlocs.
