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

Kali took the soul contract, hesitated for a moment, and finally signed it.

Because he knew that it was useless to resist a strong man like Varian. And he had asked Golugel and found out that although His Royal Highness had signed soul contracts with them, he almost never cared about them.

Things went very smoothly, the territory of Stranglethorn Vale expanded a little bit, and Varian was very satisfied.

Varian had promised to give the Saltscale Murlocs two ships, so he used the magic of summoning ships.

Suddenly, a magical wave appeared in the sea south of the island.

The Salt-Scaled Fishmen didn't know what was happening and they all moved away from the space where the magic was fluctuating.

Suddenly, two large ships hundreds of meters long appeared out of nowhere on the shore of Fishman Island.

The salt-scale fish people around were stunned.

It was the first time they saw Varian summon a ship, and they were all shocked. Their little heads could not imagine or describe such advanced magic.

Fortunately, he did not go against His Royal Highness the Prince! Kali was very grateful.

"These two ships are handed over to the Saltscale Mermen. When you catch sea fish, crocodiles and pearls, you can use the ships to transport them to the dock of the Moonbrook Town mine. There is a dock and a market there, and you can also purchase the supplies you need there." Varian said.

Varian seemed to remember something and continued, "Remember to go to Dagger Ridge and get the leader's standard, just like the ones they wear on their hands."

Varian said this and pointed to the black-cheeked murloc beside him.

When Kali looked over, he realized that the armband worn by each black-gill merman was the symbol of Dagger Ridge.

"Wearing the armband means that you are partners of Dagger Ridge. In this way, the Zandalari trolls on Yoyamba Island will not embarrass you. But you must pay attention to the Bloodscalp trolls near the ruins of Zuldanyar and stay away from them."

"The Bloodscalp Trolls are the enemy. They are very ferocious and will attack all other races. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Your Highness!"

Varian originally wanted to build a dock on Fishman Island, but when he tried, he found that it was far beyond the scope of the base and could not build any buildings.

It's a pity. To be honest, Fishman Island is a very suitable place to build a port, but it is far away from the base.

If there is assistance from the base, then there is no problem in building it. But if he cannot rely on the base and wants to use real money to build a port, that is impossible.

Forget it! Let's leave Fishman Island to the Fishmen themselves to build it.

After looking at the Fishman Island, there was nothing wrong, so Varian said goodbye to the fishmen, used the time and space gate magic, and brought the Griffin Knight back to Daggerridge Fortress.

After returning to Daggerridge Fortress, Varian asked the Griffin Knight to return to the top of the mountain to train on his own, and then his mind entered the branch base in the Stranglethorn Vale caves. Today has come to build a castle!

So he quickly checked the system's fortress castle.

System Description: The castle can provide two arrow towers to strengthen the town's defense, and can also double the basic growth rate of organisms.

The prerequisites for constructing this building have been met.

Price: 5000 gold coins, 10 units of stone, 10 units of stone.

After the mind decided to build it, a white light flashed, and the base camp of the branch base was instantly upgraded to a castle!

The upgraded castle is much larger than the previous base camp and is very magnificent. However, the castle of this fortress race is completely different from the castle of the human race.

Although it is all built of stone, this fortress castle is somewhat similar to the style of troll architecture. It is pyramid-shaped, a bit similar to Zuldazar in Zandalar, and a bit like the lost temple in the Swamp of Sorrows.

It is no exaggeration to say that this fortress castle can be used as a troll dungeon’s lair, and it is a relatively excellent lair in the troll world.

This sudden troll-style castle left the Darkspear trolls stunned, yet overjoyed.

After they realized what was happening, the trolls cheered. They rushed into the castle, looked around, touched left and right, and could hardly contain their excitement.

This castle is so magnificent that it is comparable to other large buildings of the trolls.

As expected, what His Royal Highness the Prince said, that a castle can be built within ten days or eight days, is true!

The castle is so tall and solid that it gives the Darkspear trolls a great sense of security.

The entire Darkspear troll tribe entered a state of excitement and frenzy.

Of course, Varian didn't know how these trolls would react when they saw the castle.

At this time, Varian had arrived at a huge training ground behind the military camp.

Many blacksmith shop workers moved dozens of large boxes from the blacksmith shop.

Although it was not far from the blacksmith shop to here, the things in the boxes were so heavy that the workers who were carrying them were sweating profusely.

Varian ordered the soldiers to open all the boxes and take out the contents.

A pile of new weapons and equipment were placed on the ground, including 10 mortars and 20 muskets sent from the blacksmith shop.

Since it is a new weapon, it still needs testing.

The first test is the range test.

Varian personally operated a mortar, adjusted the range to the maximum, aimed at the flat ground in the distance, and then pressed the fire button.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a shell rose into the air at a high speed, and then fell on the flat ground in the distance like a parabola, blasting a big hole in the ground.

Suddenly the dirt flew up.

After the dust raised by the explosion settled, several soldiers ran over with measuring instruments to take measurements.

According to measurements by soldiers, the mortar’s maximum range reaches three kilometers!

Varian was very satisfied with this range.

With a range of three kilometers, it can pose a great threat to the enemy whether it is a siege or a large-scale combat.

The dwarves' artillery technology is indeed worthy of its reputation.

Next is the second test, the kill range test.

Varian knew that mortars had splash damage. The shells fired by mortars would explode when they hit the ground, causing splash damage that could hit targets within a certain range.

But he didn't know how large the splash range was.

After some operations, the soldiers quickly set up several training dummies on the flat ground ahead.

In fact, it would be better to use animals for the experiment, but Varian was more merciful and used dummies.

"boom!"

As the second shell fell, it exploded in the middle of the pile of dummies. Some of the dummies in the middle were blown away, and some were shattered.

Some of the dummies on the edges were partially damaged.

A group of soldiers went to check and finally concluded that the effective killing range of the mortar is a radius of ten meters centered on the explosion. The effectiveness of the mortar on targets ten meters away can no longer be guaranteed.

Varian did not participate in the test of the musket. He asked Gryan Stoutmantle to test it and then give the data to him.

Finally, he instructed that after testing the data, the soldiers should be trained as soon as possible, mainly focusing on proficiency and accuracy, and strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
