Chapter 81 Send Troops
The construction plan of Helm's Deep was on the right track, and everything was moving in a good direction. Garen was also ready to send troops.
Helm's Deep and Deadbeard Gorge were garrisoned by Amor and Aragorn, each with a thousand base soldiers. The teams of Omar, Varokal and Fadil set out early and advanced southward.
Garin bought insurance for each of their generals, with a return scroll that would automatically activate if they were hit by a fatal attack.
Galen followed Gandalf and teleported back to Minas Tirith. He wanted to integrate the forces here. The distance from Minas Tirith to Deadwood Village was about one-third closer than Helm's Deep, so Omar and his men set out a day earlier. After Galen integrated the forces, he could catch up with the date of the siege.
This time, Garin plans to dispatch all wizards and two mortar teams, putting his wizard power in the forefront and laying the groundwork for a subsequent major plan.
Currently, Garen has 3,000 Highland soldiers under his command, and a total of 15,000 infantry and musketeers at the base. There are 2,000 soldiers left in Helm's Deep, and 500 soldiers each left in Minas Tirith and Origin.
This battle mobilized 12,000 soldiers from the base and 3,000 soldiers from the highlands, a total of 15,000 troops to attack from the north and south.
The next day, Garin gathered all the attacking troops, put them all in one basket, and headed directly to the north.
On the map of Heart of Origin, you can see the southeast corner of Arathi Highlands, with dense white dots rushing towards the north, which is extremely spectacular.
Not long after, the troops passed by the northern mining area. The noble private army guarding there saw a red torrent formed into a square formation and marching towards the north in a mighty manner, and a commotion instantly broke out.
"Which army is this? Is the kingdom going to go to war?" A young guard from the noble's private army looked surprised. Although this was the border of the kingdom, there were no border troops deployed in the south.
"Are you new here? This is Prince Garin's Red Flame Army. We fought side by side three months ago!" an elderly guard said proudly.
"Such a strong momentum. I feel a sense of pressure even from such a distance!" The young guard was just a rookie who had just entered the second level. He was shocked by the orderly formation of the Red Flame Army.
"I heard that the lowest level of the Red Flame Army is level three, with strong combat capabilities. They are an elite army. If your strength is too weak, they won't accept you." The older guard looked regretful. His strength had just reached the standard to join the Red Flame Army, but he was too old, which exceeded the Red Flame Army's recruitment standard.
"Little Dick, you are still young and have a chance. Once you reach the third level, quit your job in the guards and go to the southern city to join the prince's team. That is more promising than being a guard in a mine. If you are lucky, you can become a knight in the future."
When Garin was recruiting soldiers for the second time, he raised the recruitment requirements of the Red Flame Army to the third level, and did not care about background, as long as their ancestors for three generations were citizens of the Kingdom of Stromgarde.
After the Origin Base got on track, Garin no longer lacked soldiers, and the Highland Soldiers were just a cover. It would be better to improve the strength of the entry-level soldiers, rather than have too few.
Garin rode on his warhorse and checked the strategic map of the Heart of Origin. In addition to Omar and the other three, Heni also set off with the 300 followers assigned to him by Garin, accompanied by a flying vehicle team.
So on the map, Garin could see the situation of the 3,300-man team in the north.
In fact, from the perspective of the people of Garin Tianchao, Deadwood Village should not exist on the map of Arathi at all. How can they allow others to sleep next to their bed?
Stromgarde is known to have the strongest soldiers in the human kingdom. With strong military power, a country should have the spirit of surrender or death. Moreover, the Arathi Highlands belongs to the ancestral land of mankind, and it should not be occupied by foreign races. Moreover, the rich mining area in the southeast has been abandoned.
In any case, Garin could not tolerate such unstable factors in his rear area, and the entire territory must be under the control of the kingdom.
He has already made a plan. Even if the orcs invade in a few years, he will keep the enemy out of the country and prevent the orcs from setting foot in Arathi Highlands.
In the memory of the previous life, the future battlefield between the Orcs Horde and the Alliance will mainly be in the Hillsbrad area, the Southshore blocking battle, the naval battles in various areas of the Palatin Gulf, the battle of the Hinterlands, and later the orcs and trolls formed an alliance to invade the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, forcing the high elves to fully engage in war.
The Arathi Highlands were built in the later stages of the war to block the orc warchief Orgrim from breaking out to the south. The Thoradin Wall was breached by the orcish troops, and the attack spread from the northwest of Arathi Highlands to the Sardor Bridge in the south. The entire core area of the Kingdom of Stromgarde was penetrated.
Anyway, Garen has already decided that when the orcs break through Stormwind City and head north, heavy troops should be deployed at the Sardor Bridge. Even if the Sardor Strait is turned into a meat grinder, the orcs cannot be allowed to enter the Arathi Highlands.
The Hillsbrad region is not the territory of Stromgarde anyway, so it doesn't matter if it is destroyed.
……
Three days later, the team had entered the territory of the Deadwood Village. This time, Master Ludan's stealth team did not follow, but stayed in the Deadbeard Canyon to investigate the possible existence of troll troops.
On a high slope, Garin used the skills of the Magic Tower to open the map and observe the terrain of the Deadwood Village.
The sphere of influence of Deadwood Village is directly south of Geshak Farm, at the right angle where the north-south direction of the Alterac Mountains turns west.
Generally speaking, this is a large village complex built on the mountain.
That's right, there are several gathering points at the foot of the mountain, and there is also the largest freshwater lake in Arathi Highlands at this location. This freshwater lake is twice as large as the two moat lakes outside Stromgarde combined. There are also many troll-style houses around the freshwater lake, and you can vaguely see a team of troubled people patrolling.
According to Garin's memories from his previous life, the leader of Deadwood Village was hiding in a cave in the southern Alterac Mountains.
Zaras.Deadwood, an elite leader in the game. In the real world, according to the Kingdom's intelligence, the leader of Deadwood Village is him, a powerful witch doctor of rank nine, who is good at holding axes with both hands, and has a team of elite troll headhunters around him, making him very difficult to deal with.
Another troll worth noting is Nimar the Slayer, a master of the Witherwood tribe who is as famous as Kama the Beastmaster who was killed by Gandalf some time ago.
Slayer Nimar is also a ninth-level master of the Witherwood Tribe, and he is also a flying soldier unique to the trolls, the Dreadwing Bat Knight.
Garin sent the aircraft team here to prevent the Killer Nimar from escaping on a bat.
The anti-aircraft capability of the aircraft is theoretically very powerful, but it has not been verified so far. This time, we will use the Troll's Batrider to try it out.
After using the map-opening skills of several magic towers, Garin had almost completed the survey of various gathering points in the Deadwood Village and drew a map.
The Deadwood Village also discovered the existence of the human army and entered a state of martial law. Their leader had anticipated this day, so the troll civilians did not cause too much disturbance.
He planned to take the map and teleport with Gandalf to Omar and the others to discuss their respective tasks.
