Chapter 129 The Road to the South

This time, Garin plans to bring 400 knights, 50 priests, and 50 wizards with him, a total of 500 base troops. Given Garin's status, it's not too much for me to lead a team of 500 people to visit the Storm Kingdom, right?

In addition to rescuing the team tracking the Holy Book, the Archbishop also hopes to test the potential of the Paladins, so Uther, Dathrohan, Fording, Danath and Turalyon, as well as fifty-eight Paladins, will also be accompanying them.

Originally, Danas was the general of Stromgarde and could not leave because of his military duties, but Garin wanted him to fight the orcs in advance, so he specifically asked his father to allow Danas to stay with him for a while.

In the same situation as Danas were several generals of the Red Flame Army under Garin. Garin ordered them to end their studies with Amor and teleport from Helm's Deep.

In fact, Garin still has forty-eight seventh-level paladins trained by the cathedral hidden in his hands, but the timing is not very good now. The difficulty of awakening the paladin is so great. There are so many excellent candidates, only fifty-eight people are born, and forty-eight people suddenly appear. I guess the archbishop will doubt his life.

The knights' mobility was so terrifying that the assembly order was issued in the morning, and by noon, the knights from Isengard and the Land of Origin had already entered the gates of the Holy White City.

After an hour's rest, the large army gathered in the courtyard of the cathedral. Even the priests and wizards had prepared their horses. In the Arathi Highlands, the last thing they lacked was war horses.

As for their route, Garin planned to use mass teleportation to reach the junction of the Burning Plains and Redridge Mountains, and then rush all the way from Redridge Mountains, through Lakeside Town in Redridge Mountains, enter from the east of Elwynn Forest, cross the entire Elwynn Forest, and go straight to Shimmering Town in the west, which is not far from Northshire Abbey. They would submit documents in Shimmering Town to let Stormwind know that a team from the Church of the Light had entered their territory.

Garin had already completed the preparations. A team serving as a teleportation base had already set out from the Flashing Town in the Burning Plains in the morning and had now reached the entrance of the Redridge Mountains.

This route to the Storm Kingdom is actually the route that Faldir, a descendant of Emperor Thoradin, took when he led his people to the south to seek enlightenment. However, the middle section was destroyed by the Firelord.

Garin didn't want to take a boat from Nanhai Town. Reality was not a game. Once he got on the boat, he could cross the East and West Continents, through the South and North Poles. It would take more than half a month with a favorable wind from Nanhai Town to the port of Stormwind City.

If he wants to go faster, he can only choose to teleport halfway. The whole team will move forward on horseback. After the barracks studied the technology of animal combat training, the knights' mounts not only have improved vitality, but also have endurance far exceeding that of ordinary horses. It is not a problem to travel during the day and rest at night.

Paladins can use holy light to bless their mounts to achieve long-term endurance. It is even simpler for priests and wizards. They can cast slow fall and levitation spells on themselves, and the horses under their crotch are equivalent to no load.

Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of world is this? Even the ponies are starting to get angry. Everyone is running the same distance, but the paladin's horse uses holy light to relieve fatigue. This is like taking drugs. What's even worse is the priest's and wizard's horses. They have people on their backs but no weight, while the knight's horse can only rely on its strength to withstand the pressure. This is simply too much of a bullying for horses.

After bidding farewell to the archbishop, the team of nearly 600 people were ready to go. There was a flash of white light, and everyone disappeared in the square.

At the northern pass of the Redridge Mountains, everyone reappeared in the white light. Unlike Stromgarde, which had already adapted to group teleportation, the people of Lordaeron who were being teleported in a group for the first time were stunned.

Brother, you are already a ninth-level Paladin, what does your mass teleportation mean? Ninth-level magicians can't do this job without this talent, but you can not only teleport in a mass, but also lead 600 people at a time.

That's 600 men and horses, 600 people plus 600 horses, and you're not even blushing or panting, compared to you, what are we? Are we just noobs?

Under the envious and jealous gazes of Fording and the others, Garin calmly took a map from the team that served as the teleportation base. This was a detailed map of the southern part of the continent provided by the Thorium Brotherhood.

Because Garin's power has not yet reached the south of the Redridge Mountains, the land will be occupied by orcs in the next few years. It would be a waste of effort to develop it. It would be better to wait until the orcs are defeated before considering establishing a stronghold.

Looking at the map, they were at the junction of the Burning Plains and the Redridge Mountains. The canyon in front of them was the trail leading into the Redridge Mountains.

After determining the route, Garin put away the map and signaled the team to return to Flash Town on their own.

Then Jialin called out: Brothers, follow me!

Leading the way!

Rumble, rumble, the sound of galloping horses echoed through the canyon. After passing through the path along the Burning Plains, the view ahead suddenly opened up and we arrived at the border of the Redridge Mountains.

Because the mountains bordering the Burning Plains in the north of the Redridge Mountains have been completely destroyed, even with the nourishment of the Still Water Lake, the mountains that come into view are all red.

It didn't take long for them to reach Lakeside Town. Due to the harassment of orcs on the southern border, martial law had been imposed here. Garin and his party produced documents from the Church of Holy Light and successfully passed the checkpoint of the Lakeside Town militia.

At this moment, the bridge over Zhishui Lake had not been built yet, and the team moved westward along the lakeside.

The further west they went, the farther away from the influence of the scorching air of the Burning Plains, the more vegetation began to grow and the temperature began to drop, making the body surface much more comfortable, although Garin didn't feel much, as he kept his ice shield on.

In the following days, they set out at dawn and set up camp at dusk. After a long and tiring journey, they finally entered the territory of Shanjin Town half a month later.

Goldshire, the town closest to Stormwind City, functions similarly to Call of Valor in Stromgarde, serving as the gateway and barrier to the royal city.

Garin and his team's destination was located northeast of Goldshire, and Stormwind was northwest. It was a bit inappropriate to just go to Northshire, after all, it would be better to say hello when we arrived at the territory of the Wrynn family.

Unlike the small place with an inn, a blacksmith shop and a few houses in the game, Goldshire is a prosperous town with an excellent geographical location, right at the transportation hub. Although the border of Stormwind Kingdom has been under martial law, the shadow of war has not affected the merchants here.

They were getting closer to their destination, so Garin was not in a hurry anymore. Besides, he had someone around him, so he didn't have to do it himself. His long-lost chief confidant, Valokar, went to negotiate with the garrison of Shanjin Town.

Garin remembered that the chief of security in Goldshire in the game was called Duhan, but the game time background at that time was already twenty years after the Dark Portal, which was twenty years apart from now.

However, Garin saw the sign of the Lion King's Pride Inn from afar. Hehehe, Garin showed an obscene smile at the corner of his mouth. The Lion King's Pride Inn in Shining Gold Town is an absolutely good place. Such a prosperous and comfortable place will wear down people's will and strength.

After all, the night in Goldshire is also well-known.
