Chapter 79 Battle Plan

Garin patrolled the southern part of the town and saw that the immigrant team followed the farmers at the base to the farm in an orderly manner.

Seeing that his command was not needed, he went to the town hall to summon his generals and communicate with them in advance about his next plan.

As soon as they entered the courtyard of the town hall, Amor came towards them, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Garin didn't pay much attention to his expression, but just asked him to send the guards and let Omar, Fadil and their team come to discuss the matter.

Amor held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and went outside to instruct the guards to notify each team separately. The prince's order was important, and it would be the same to ask the prince alone after the meeting.

At the same time, Galen asked Gandalf to go to Deadbeard Gorge and bring Aragorn over. In fact, the distance from Helm's Deep to Deadbeard Gorge is not far, only two hours away, but Galen doesn't like to wait, and the archmage's teleportation is faster, so it's better to use it.

While waiting in the town hall, Garin saw a dozen boxes placed in the corner of the hall. He walked over and opened them. He saw some coins, including gold, silver and copper coins.

This should be the funds brought along with the immigrant team, mostly in the form of copper and silver coins. Garin collected 6,000 gold coins and prepared to hand over the remaining coins to the logistics director Harmon to be used for other expenses such as the salaries and equipment maintenance of the 3,000 Highland soldiers.

To be honest, Garin is now considered a wealthy man, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a nouveau riche. He has more than 200,000 gold coins on him, and there are 500,000 units of gold recharged by the ancestral property of Kuxu in the resource column of the Heart of Origin.

According to the idea of ​​real-time strategy games, all resources should be used to expand troops and upgrade technology. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks in waves and you only have resources but no troops to fight against them, you will easily be defeated in one wave.

Well.

In his previous life, when Garin first came into contact with Warcraft and StarCraft, he often made this mistake. He developed technology step by step, had thousands of resources on hand, did not expand his troops, and was defeated by a quick attack from the opponent, and had no gaming experience at all.

This is also the main reason why he switched from competitive games to single-player games.

Now Garin's barracks are fully staffed and consuming the gold produced by the mine. Most of the resources in this resource column are reserved for building extensions. While Storm Kingdom can still resist the orcs for four or five years, this precious time must be used to build a solid foundation.

Why does it feel like I'm playing a defense game, with a five-year countdown, and within five years I have to kill monsters everywhere to spread out, collect resources, build soldiers and defense towers, and then when the time is up, a large wave of red monsters swarm out?

Time is tight and the task is heavy!

The enemy will arrive at the battlefield in five years, please be prepared!

I'm having wild thoughts again!

Get down to business.

Sitting on the main seat, Garin connected to the Heart of Origin.

During the two months of waiting, Garin went out to play during the day and connected to the Heart of Origin in the inn at night to remotely replenish the farms in Helm's Deep, increasing the number of farms to one thousand. Then he silently watched the training bars of the soldiers in each barracks and finally fell asleep while watching the bars.

In the past two months, more than 8,600 new farmers were added. Garin gradually added them to the 1,000 completed farms in Helm's Deep, as well as to the work teams in the mines and logging camps.

The eight barracks added 7,680 people in two months, which is close to the number of a legion. After the completion of this combat plan, Garin will prepare to establish a new legion under his command.

I haven’t decided on a name yet, but when the time comes I will definitely choose a high-end, grand, and classy name, the kind that makes people feel cool as soon as they hear it.

There are not so many other types of soldiers. After upgrading the second-level main city, the training time for the unlocked types of soldiers is very long, almost one per day.

The two workshops in the Drybeard Canyon produced an additional 60 aircraft. Elsewhere, 60 priests and wizards were trained. The Griffin's Nest had ceased operations. Garin did not plan to train dragon eagle knights in the next few years, so he only trained 18 as backup.

The mortars are produced in the workshop of Minas Tirith. Currently, the gun carriage and matching shells can equip forty-two teams, and may be used in the attack on Deadwood Village.

At that time, let Gandalf go to Minas Tirith and take the newly trained troops. He will set out from Helm's Deep to garrison the extension troops, dispatching nearly two legions, a total of 15,000 troops.

Ahaha, the two months of waiting were not in vain. It cured my fear of insufficient troops.

Just as Garin was in a state of daydreaming, the backbones of each thousand-man team of the Red Flame Army had already arrived and were waiting for Garin to start the meeting.

Garin glanced around the room and saw that all the people above the rank of team leader were present, so he announced the official start of the meeting.

"First, let me introduce to you the new member of the Red Flame Army, Herni Mareb. He will lead a team of 300 men under the command of the wizard Gandalf."

Last time, Garin directly promoted Aragon to become the captain of a thousand-man team. Later, Aragon's ability was obvious to all. Everyone has discovered that their prince has a good eye for people and is very good at using people.

So the dozen or so people present did not have much objection and congratulated Hernie one after another.

"Okay, let's report on the situation over the past two months. Amor, you start first."

Amor commanded Gandalf's thousand-man team in the north of Helm's Deep and the cavalry stationed in Varokal in the south, which meant he was responsible for the defense of the entire Helm's Deep.

He stood up and said, "Helm's Deep has been harassed by a small group of trolls from the north for the past two months. They retreated after one attack and did not want to fight. I suspect they are from the Witherwood Tribe of the Hinterlands, and their purpose is to investigate the specific situation of Witherwood Village in the south."

"The 10,000 immigrants from the capital yesterday have all arrived. Arrangements for them to enter the city have begun. Currently, Harmon from the logistics department is in charge of this matter."

"complete!"

When Amor finished speaking, Aragorn stood up and continued, "There have been difficult attempts to infiltrate the Withered Beard Canyon from both the north and south sides, and most have been captured by our forces. Since a troll scout successfully broke through from the south last week, such infiltrations have ceased."

Aragorn looked ashamed.

"I suspect that there is a troop hiding in the mountains to the north, but the mountains of Alterac are densely forested, which is conducive to the movement of forest trolls. I don't have enough troops, so I dare not search. Your Highness, please give the next instructions!"

Omar and Fadil were stationed in the south, and they hadn’t done much in the past two months, except to get up and report on their training routines.

"It's not your fault that the troll scouts broke through, Aragorn. As the saying goes, if you defend too long, you will lose. You only have a thousand people, and the Alterac Mountains are too big. I expected the news of Deadwood Village to spread to Shadranor."

"The time has come. We are strong and powerful now. We have let him take advantage of Deadwood Village for a long time. This time, we will bring him under the rule of Stromgarde!"

Everyone was waiting for Garin to say this. Among Garin's men, except Amor and the two base heroes, the oldest were former members of the guards, who were in their early thirties. This was a golden age group, and military exploits were exactly what they expected.

Carlokar was especially excited to be named by Garin again. He had been touring Dalaran with Garin for two months and was already bored to death. The reason he didn't complain was because of his loyalty to Garin.

"Once all the settlers in Helm's Deep have settled in, it will be time for us to attack. Lieutenant Amor will stay here to discuss the battle plan with me. The rest of you can go back and get ready to set off at any time!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"
