Chapter 69: Recruiting Military Generals

"Prince, you are wrong. The old man does not have such an outstanding offspring. This is my wife's nephew. Herni, come and thank the prince for the compliment!"

Heni Marebu looked calm, walked forward neither humbly nor arrogantly, and saluted Garin again.

Not bad, he has some tolerance and is not easily surprised by praise or criticism.

"I wonder if Heni is interested in joining my army. My Red Flame Army is currently short of a captain. What do you think?"

Heni's calm expression could not be maintained after all, as Garin's words surprised him too much.

"Your Highness, I am willing to join your army!" Without thinking too much, Heni decided to follow Garin. He was ambitious and confident in himself. He would definitely achieve something in the army in the future.

Moreover, with Solas's special operations and publicity from the caravans, Garin has become famous.

Everyone in Hillsbrad, the closest region to Arathi Highlands, knew that the prince of the Kingdom of Stromgarde had established a new legion, and had fought an offensive and defensive battle with the trolls in the first month, wiping out three thousand trolls with minimal casualties. The troll heads were pulled by the Stromgarde militia in carriages and circled outside the city walls.

This major event that shocked Stromgarde was not only talked about by the people of the capital, but was also spread by passing caravans to the Hillsbrad region and even to Lordaeron. It was circulated in inns and taverns in major towns, and was even adapted into a story by bards.

Garin never thought that he would become a character in the story one day. Before upgrading the second-level main city, he would never dare to make such a high-profile move, because of the existence of the bronze dragon, he was afraid of being checked.

Heni just finished his studies in Lordaeron a month ago. As a recent graduate, he was unwilling to work in the home of a great noble. His ideal was to make great achievements and become a new noble.

It just so happened that he learned from his aunt that there was a vacancy for the captain of the militia in Nanhai Town, so he took the opportunity of visiting his aunt to give it a try.

In Nanhai Town, the best he could do was to be the militia captain, and in the future he might be able to take over his uncle's position as the mayor. But now there was a better opportunity in front of him. The Red Flame Army, a newly formed army, had become famous in its first battle and had already begun its rise. In Heni's opinion, joining the Red Flame Army was a good choice.

Henni Maleb did not see anything wrong with joining the army of Stromgarde despite being a Lordaeron. After all, humans were one family thousands of years ago, and in the human kingdom, you could be a Viscount of Lordaeron or a Baron of the Kingdom of Alterac. This was a rule that everyone generally accepted.

If this is the case for the nobles, there will be no problem for him to join the Stromgarde army.

Although Garin was extremely excited inside as he had picked up a treasure, a person with higher talent than Omar and Carlocar, who was easily recruited by him, but for the sake of the dignity of a superior, he had to act calm.

"This is Gandalf, the ninth-rank wizard and the captain of the Red Flame Army's thousand-man team. I appoint you as a small captain in his team, commanding three hundred people."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!"

When Heni heard about Garin's appointment, he looked up in surprise. This position was already very high and completely exceeded his expectations. Sure enough, his decision was right. The starting point of the Red Flame Army was already close to his upper limit in Nanhai Town. After all, the captain of the Nanhai Town militia only had charge of 500 people.

The situation that followed can be described as a win-win situation!

Garin was secretly happy to have an excellent general x1. Heni felt that he was appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince and was directly promoted to the commander of people. He felt touched that a soldier would die for his friend.

Seeing that Garin valued his wife's nephew, the old mayor directly agreed to sell him a batch of ships at a low price.

So Jialin happily ordered ten near-shore cargo ships at a low price from the shipyard in Nanhai Town.

The biggest winner is me, Jialin!

Jie! Jie! Jie!

After the main things were done, Garin prepared to say goodbye and told Herni to meet them at the inn early tomorrow morning. Then Garin took Varokar and Gandalf and left the old mayor's house.

After going out, Galen asked Varokar to take his guards to the inn to book a room, while he and Gandalf went to visit the dock area of ​​South Sea Town.

Although he was touring the city, Garin was actually constantly observing the business model of South Sea Town in his mind, absorbing its experience, and at the same time reflecting on the lack of commercial trade in Stromgarde.

In fact, Stromgarde also has its own port, which is located in Faldir Bay.

In the game, Garin specifically explored the Arathi Highlands. There is a small path connecting Fadir Bay and Stromgarde. There is only a wooden pier with a ship of the Blackwater Pirates docked there. Here you can take on a series of tasks, such as salvaging sunken ships and repelling the Naga of the Thornspine tribe. This is also the first time Garin encountered the Naga in Warcraft.

After the time travel, for Garin's safety, Solas restricted Garin from leaving the city, but the port of Stromgarde was still accessible, so Garin also went to Fadir Bay specifically to observe.

Compared to the game, the port of Faldir Bay is much larger, but it is incomparable to the scale of Southshore. It is generally only used for the kingdom's grain export trade of Ironforge, and for noble caravans to do business in Southshore.

The business of the Kingdom of Stromgarde is not very developed, and Solas does not attach importance to commercial development. The types of goods that can be traded are relatively small. Therefore, although the port is built in the Palatine Gulf like Southsea Town, it cannot compete with Southsea Town at all.

When I get the chance in the future, I will definitely advise my father to develop business. Previously, grain production was limited and the profits from trade were not high, but I have already established Helm's Deep. In the future, grain production will double, and I can also make some delicious food to attract people.

Some items in the base can also be used for trade. The armor that the soldiers replaced can be refurbished and can be considered good equipment in Azeroth. There are also goods from the secret treasure house. We will set off for Dalaran tomorrow to make a name for ourselves.

The expansion of Stromgarde is imperative, but I don't have much say in this matter, and everything depends on my father's ideas.

Maybe I can prepare a group of shamans to transport the West Fadir Mountains south of Stromgarde, leaving the mountains in the east, and directly double the size of Stromgarde. In this way, the city and the port can be connected, and an Azeroth version of the story of Yugong moving mountains will come to fruition, haha.

It's a pity that the Strait of Sardor is not suitable for ships to sail, and the Arathi Highlands is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Only Stromgarde has a suitable landing point at sea. Otherwise, Garen could have directly transformed Minas Tirith. He could have complete control over that city and build it however he wanted.

Walking and stopping like this, half a day had passed. The sun had already set. With the arrival of night, the world became quiet and the sky was dotted with stars.

Garen and Gandalf have arrived at the edge of Southshore, a beach northwest of the port. In addition to seeing the night sea view, he wants to see if the murlocs in Azeroth are exactly the same as in the game.

He remembered a saying from his previous life that the murlocs of Southshore, the bears of Tarren Mill, and the spiders of the Jade Mines were known as the three great disasters of Hillsbrad.

I wonder if mermen also build houses on the coast in real life?
