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

"There are a total of twenty-six River Claw Gnolls, including one River Claw Mystic, ten River Claw Savages, and fifteen River Claw Peons. They have a total of five baggage carts, and some gnolls are carrying tents. I guess this is a small group, migrating to Dagger Ridge."

The team members observed along the way and the intelligence was relatively detailed.

After listening, Varian fell into deep thought.

These River Claw gnolls are a bit like nomads. Whenever they arrive at a place, they settle down until they have eaten most of the surrounding prey, and then they move to the next area.

Now they are moving towards his territory. This is absolutely not acceptable. They cannot be allowed to get near Dagger Ridge. Varian decided to destroy this small group of werewolves.

So Gavinrad was called in to study together.

After reading the intelligence, Gavinrad analyzed: "According to previous data, River Claw Mystics are usually leaders with strength above level seven. River Claw Barbarians are level five, and River Claw Peons are both level three and level four."

Varian thought for a moment and said, "You and I are level seven, and the other team members are level five, much stronger than the gnolls."

Gavinrad nodded in agreement: "Yes, we will definitely win, but we need to minimize casualties, or even achieve zero casualties."

Varian suddenly thought of the new magic he had learned in the Level 1 Magic Guild. Why not use this opportunity to test it out? So he immediately said, "I'll arrange the tactics, and you can see if it works."

"You are a seventh-level warrior, and you lead two fifth-level cavalrymen to kill the seventh-level River Claw Mystic. Then fifteen fifth-level cavalrymen will be responsible for killing ten fifth-level River Claw Barbarians. The remaining twelve fifth-level cavalrymen will be responsible for killing fifteen third- and fourth-level River Claw laborers. I will be responsible for long-range output and healing."

Gavinrad nodded as he listened. At the end, he looked at Varian in disbelief and asked, "You, a mage, can heal?"

Varian looked matter-of-fact.

It's no wonder that Gavinrad asked this. In Stormwind City of this era, there are very few mages, especially low-level mages, who can heal. The ones who can heal are priests.

Of course, he didn't know that Varian learned "healing" from the Level 1 Magic Guild at the Dagger Ridge Base.

So everyone was divided into three teams according to Varian's arrangement, and each of them locked on their own target and launched a surprise attack from the rear of the werewolf troops.

After making the arrangements, Gavinrad immediately gathered his troops for a simple drill to familiarize themselves with the tactics.

Get ready to go! The battle must be resolved before night falls.

At this time, the River Claw Werewolf Army was advancing towards Dagger Ridge. Several River Claw Barbarians were leading the way in front, with River Claw laborers and five baggage carts in the middle, and the River Claw Mystic and several Barbarians walking at the end.

A young River Claw Barbarian respectfully asked the River Claw Mystic: "Lord Garu, how long will it take us to reach Dagger Ridge?"

Garu is the leader of this group of River Claw Gnolls. Before, their group had been active in the Dust Plains and usually only migrated in the Dust Plains. However, recently they had a conflict with another group of River Claw Gnolls, and he was furious and wanted to lead the group to move to other places.

Dagger Ridge, no other gnolls have ever been to it, except for Garu, who accidentally went in when he was young.

They had been traveling for two whole days, and many of the jackals looked a little irritable.

In order to ease everyone's anxiety, Garu comforted them, "It's about eight kilometers away. There are no other species in that place, but there are a lot of blood-tusked wild boars, enough for us to eat for a long time. And it's not far from the human farms. When the wheat fields are ripe, we can steal their food."

After hearing this, the eyes of several River Claw Barbarians nearby brightened up. They no longer had to compete with other groups of gnolls for limited prey. They immediately felt their tired bodies filled with strength again.

What they didn't know was that a team was quietly following them.

It was Varian and his group. They went around behind the werewolf troops, followed quietly, and waited for the opportunity.

After a while, a huge blood-tusk wild boar was seen walking towards them from a distance. It was indeed a giant blood-tusk wild boar. The River Claw Werewolf's eyes suddenly lit up. They had not seen such a fat blood-tusk wild boar near their previous camp for a long time. They had come to the right place. It seemed that what Lord Garu said was true.

Everyone was very excited. One of the River Claw barbarians quickly commanded four River Claw laborers, two on the left and two on the right, to encircle the Bloodfang Boar.

Then he charged forward and chopped the blood-fang boar's head with an axe.

The Bloodtusk Boar had thick skin and flesh, and was hit by an axe, only bleeding a little. It instantly went crazy, howling and fighting with the River Claw barbarians who were chopping it.

At this time, the four laborers also surrounded the Blood-Tooth Boar. One barbarian soldier and four laborers started fighting with the Blood-Tooth Boar.

The time has come.

"Brothers, take action! Don't leave any one alive!"

At Varian's command, the three teams charged towards their respective targets.

The loud clatter of horse hooves startled the gnolls who were watching from behind. A River Claw soldier shouted, "There's an enemy sneak attack!"

The Riverpaw gnolls suddenly became alert and picked up their weapons.

As soon as I turned around, the cavalry had already rushed to my front.

Gavinrad took the lead, leading two cavalrymen straight to the River Claw Mystic Garu, and the other cavalrymen also rushed towards their own targets.

Seeing that Gavinrad was about to confront Garu, Varian hurriedly released a protective shield for him.

"Dang", Gavinrad chopped Garu's staff with his sword, making a loud noise.

Garu was knocked back a few steps and flew into a rage. He swung his staff and a ball of lightning flew towards Ravengard.

Gavinrad quickly moved to the side to avoid the lightning ball.

At this time, the other two cavalrymen rushed to Garu's side, one on the left and one on the right, and raised their swords.

Garu was shocked and raised his staff with his right hand to block it, but his left hand was cut by the sword and blood gushed out immediately.

Seeing this, Varian rubbed his hands and began to cast the fireball spell. A few seconds later, a fireball flew quickly towards Garu.

Garu was so frightened when he saw the fireball flying towards him that he had no time to dodge and was hit by the fireball, causing an explosion.

Garu was knocked to the ground by the fireball, his clothes on his chest were burnt off, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his face was burnt black. He panicked and wanted to escape. Just as he was about to get up, he was slashed by the sword of Ravengard who was rushing towards him. In an instant, his head and body were separated, and his head rolled two meters away.

It was a really fun fight, three against one, there was no suspense at all, it was a complete crushing victory.

When the other gnolls saw that their leader was dead, they panicked. The River Claw barbarians and River Claw laborers who were fighting with the giant Bloodfang Boar in front also discovered that something was wrong. Three of the River Claw laborers left the boar and joined the battle with the cavalry.
