Chapter 68: God of War Mareb

Nanhai Town is a good place with convenient transportation, combining river and sea transportation. It was built at the mouth of the Thandoril River. The river transportation runs through the entire hills and the West Wilder region of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, connecting the north and south.

The West Wilder region is what later became known as the Western Plaguelands, while the Eastern Plaguelands is now called the East Wilder.

The reason why the Kingdom of Lordaeron is the strongest of the seven human kingdoms is largely because it owns the wealthy Wilde region.

The East Wilder region, in particular, is the core area of ​​the entire kingdom and the granary of Lordaeron. The nobles living in this area are all wealthy dog ​​owners.

The capital of East Wilder is Stratholme. The first time the Paladin profession appeared in Azeroth was in the church of Stratholme. This famous and powerful city was eventually destroyed by the massacre of the filial son Arthas.

Garin's thoughts drifted again. He saw various ships shuttling back and forth in the port of Nanhai Town and felt that this place was blessed by nature. The deltas formed by rivers entering the sea were all natural ports and could easily be developed into large towns.

The scenery of Nanhai Town is really great. In his previous life, Garin often went to Nanhai Town to fish in the game. Later, the Forsaken of the tribe besieged Nanhai Town and used biological weapons and plague bombs, turning Nanhai Town into a ruin with green liquid flowing.

Before it was destroyed, the seaside town of Nanhai was very pleasant. Whenever it rained, you could sit on the wooden dock, enjoy the sea breeze, and fish. Sometimes someone would hit you with a club, followed by a combo attack.

If such a seaside town existed in reality, it would definitely be a popular tourist attraction, no less than various coastal cities.

For Garin, sightseeing was secondary. His purpose was to come to Nanhai Town to recruit an outstanding talent, the future mayor of Nanhai Town: Heni Marebu.

Speaking of Heni Mareb, unlike heroes like Lightbringer and Ashbringer who were famous in major world events and won these titles, he could only be considered unknown for nearly thirty years.

When Garin was a novice leveling up in his previous life, he took on many tasks from him, and Mayor Mareb also contributed a lot of rewards to Garin.

From the mission, we know that he is an important figure who the Syndicate thieves and the Undead want to get rid of as soon as possible, but he was able to evade the assassination and is alive and well, which also shows that he is extraordinary.

I thought he was at most an important plot character in World of Warcraft, an elite NPC who usually issued tasks and helped millions of lords to strengthen their strength.

It was not until the Cataclysm that he came to prominence, made a stunning debut, and amazed everyone.

The world-destroying dragon Deathwing caused earthquakes, tsunamis and other catastrophes around the world, and even destroyed Stormwind, the main city of humans at the time. However, under the leadership of Mayor Maleb, Nanhai Town escaped the unforeseen catastrophe and tsunami, without causing too many casualties.

After the Cataclysm, the Forsaken wanted to completely rule the Hillsbrad region, and it was Mayor Mareb who led the residents of Southshore to resist the attack of the Undead. The Undead had no choice but to use biological weapons on a large scale, and the plague gas filled the air, forcing Mayor Mareb to flee.

Then he did not retreat to Arathi Highlands and ask for support. Instead, he led all the citizens of the South Sea across Tarren Mill ruled by the undead, then through the territory controlled by the Syndicate, and then through the ruins of the Kingdom of Alterac controlled by the ogres, and finally arrived at Fenris Island behind the Forsaken Undead Base Camp.

He eliminated the undead and gnolls on Fenris Isle, and then formed a resistance army to fight against the undead in Undercity. Following this momentum, Lordaeron was then liberated by the Southshore militia, directly fulfilling Garithos' ambition to retake the royal city of Lordaeron.

Garen guessed that he would be almost fifty years old at that time, a true Azeroth version of a late bloomer!

At this point in time, Heni Mareb was still a young man. Garin had previously arranged for people to come to Nanhai Town to inquire about him. In Nanhai Town, a port city with a permanent population of only more than 10,000, a daily floating population of nearly 100,000, and nearly 1,000 ships, it took the spies two months to find this person.

Based on his experience in his previous life, Garin always thought that Marebu was a native of Nanhai Town, so the spies searched the entire town based on this information but found nothing.

Until half a month ago, a young man came to Nanhai Town to visit relatives and travel. It was said that he was the nephew of the old mayor's wife.

So Garin received the information reported by the spies and found the target person. Finding the trace of Marebu was also one of the reasons why Garin decided to postpone the attack on the Deadwood Village. He just took this opportunity to come and recruit the future military god.

After entering Nanhai Town, Jialin did not distract himself to visit the seaside scenery, but went straight to visit the old mayor and introduce himself.

In the old mayor's house, Garin met the future god of war, Heni Mareb. He was only twenty years old at the time, probably about the same age as Varokar, with a very immature face.

The old mayor was flattered to learn that the prince of Stromgarde was coming to visit. Although Southshore was a large port in the south of Lordaeron, the people he came into contact with every day were a mixed bunch, from nobles to peddlers, and he had never met any royal members of any country.

Jialin pretended to want to order a batch of sailing ships from the shipyard in Nanhai Town. Because he had no knowledge of sailing ships, he came to visit the old mayor.

Then Jialin and the old mayor started discussing with each other. With the shallow maritime knowledge in his previous life, Jialin could barely agree with the old mayor.

The old mayor is already showing signs of age, and his teeth are starting to leak. With the military god's own qualifications, it should not be difficult for him to gain the recognition of the people of Nanhai Town in a short period of time and take over the position of the old mayor.

However, Garen felt that being the mayor of a port town was not the path to becoming a future god of war. Although the Hillsbrad region later became a battleground between the Alliance and the Horde, it was far away from the center of major events in Azeroth. When the Undead Scourge broke out, the hardest-hit areas were in the Wilderness and Tirisfal Glades. There was only a small division of the Scourge here, and they were heading for the Arathi Highlands.

A person's growth is inseparable from experience. If Marebu stayed in Nanhai Town, he would at most deal with inferior forces such as the Broken Fins, the Jackals, and the Syndicate. If I give him a bigger stage, his future achievements will definitely make him a true god of war.

On the surface, Garin was having a pleasant conversation with the old mayor, but in fact his attention was always on the young man who was serving tea and water beside them.

He has golden hair, which is very similar to Varrocar, and is also young and energetic. However, Varrocar has been under Garin's command for many years, and Garin even taught him and Omar a rough version of Sun Tzu's Thirty-Six Stratagems of War.

Varokar has also led troops on the battlefield and has experience, so he is more iron-blooded and calm than the green rookie god of war who is still in white.

Seeing that the topic was coming to an end, Jialin asked casually:

"Mayor, this young man is smart and capable, and he seems to be quite capable. Is he your son?"
