Chapter 87 Post-War Plans

Garen returned to the battlefield at Westgate. On the way, he contacted Aragorn through the Heart of Origin and asked him to send a signal to notify Amor to send troops from Helm's Deep to encircle the trolls' rear in Deadbeard Gorge.

On the west gate side, more than two hours have passed since the end of the west gate battle, and the soldiers have cleared the southern part of Kurumu Village.

The two top combat forces of the Kurumu Village were eliminated, and the rest were some middle-level and low-ranking generals and a large number of ordinary young and strong civilians. Survival is the instinct of every life. Garin gave them the opportunity to surrender, and they laid down their weapons without much hesitation.

At this moment, the soldiers who stayed behind escorted the troll captives to the lake for custody. Garin took a quick glance and saw that the trolls by the lake were either squatting or lying, and almost all of them had injuries on their bodies.

As expected of a race famous for its self-healing ability and tenacious vitality, some of the seriously injured and dying have recovered. As the eldest race of Azeroth, the trolls are really suitable as a fighting race. Ten thousand years ago, they relied on their self-healing ability to defeat the old gods' Aqir insect empire.

Unfortunately, they killed one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of their own. Even after winning, they were also badly damaged. The Troll Empire fell apart, and then it fell into decline for ten thousand years, and civilization regressed. Otherwise, it would not be impossible for them to dominate Azeroth.

Garin walked straight to the west gate, where the soldiers had already arranged the fallen brothers neatly, and an officer handed Garin a report.

This was a list of casualties. Garin took a glance and saw more than 300 people killed, more than 200 seriously injured, and not counting those with minor injuries.

The vanguard was five thousand against three thousand, and considering they were all in full armor, this number of casualties was acceptable to Garin.

The guards that Amor had brought with him had already been arranged by himself to serve as squad leaders. At this moment, they were either cleaning the battlefield or guarding the prisoners. The new guards were the mission infantry who had been promoted to mid-level after killing the enemy several times.

Seeing that there were soldiers from the base all around, Garin let go and used the Paladin's ultimate move: Resurrection.

With Garin as the center, brilliant golden holy light shone everywhere. The wounds on the bodies of the soldiers in the base illuminated by the holy light began to heal, and they stood up again after a while.

After the holy light ended, Garin counted carefully and found that there were 180 soldiers who stood up, and more than 100 soldiers had not been resurrected.

Garin and Aragorn had discussed the issue of the number of resurrected people. Although Aragorn was a hero summoned by the Altar of Kings, the predecessor of his soul was also a Holy Light Warrior, and he himself had a deep understanding of the Holy Light.

The Altar of Kings granted him four innate skills, and he enhanced the power of these four skills through his understanding of the Paladin profession and the Way of Holy Light.

If it was Aragorn who cast the resurrection spell just now, the number of people resurrected would be much greater than that of Garin. How should I put it? Aragorn is like the son of the supermarket owner. He can take and eat as many products as he wants, while Garin is a customer who can only obtain ownership of the products after paying first.

A white light flashed, and Gandalf arrived at the west gate with two thousand soldiers who were in good physical condition.

Seeing this, Jialin said to the soldier who had just reported to him:

"Go to the north gate and bring over the brothers who died in the battle. Protect the bodies of the brothers and wait for General Aragorn to come."

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!"

Galen said as he walked towards Gandalf.

Gandalf also has the authority to view the strategic map of the Heart of Origin. He already knows that trolls have appeared in the Deadbeard Canyon, and he has come here to support Aragorn.

Galen did not say much to Gandalf, but only asked him to bring Aragorn and the bodies of the fallen soldiers after the battle in Deadbeard Gorge was over.

After Gandalf left, Galen led a team of soldiers to the cave of Deadwood Village. That was where the senior members of Deadwood Village lived, and all the treasures of Deadwood Village over the years should be there.

It's time to go treasure hunting.

Exciting moments!

Just asking if you are excited?

Anyway, Jialin is looking forward to it!

The cave is located in the southeast corner of Kumu Village, behind the most densely packed wooden buildings in the village. The entrance to the cave is very gorgeously decorated, and they can see where the cave is without having to look carefully.

The soldiers had searched all the troll houses along the way, and the troll women and children were taken to the lake and kept under guard.

Speaking of which, Garin really didn't see too many old trolls. According to the intelligence Garin had obtained, trolls had a tradition of cannibalism, not only eating people, but also eating their own kind, such as the evil branch tribe in Hinterland, they would capture members of the dead wood tribe who were also trolls.

Witherbark trolls eat humans but not their own kind. However, if there is insufficient food within the tribe, they will drive out older trolls and prioritize food for the young and strong and young troll children.

In their opinion, the elderly are neither able to work nor capable of fighting. Instead of wasting food, it is better to drive them away and let them fend for themselves in the wild.

Whoops.

After Jialin and his team walked up the hill, they saw that there was already a team guarding the cave entrance. After the base soldiers were upgraded, Jialin promoted them to captains of other soldiers. It seems that the base soldiers not only have intelligence, but also have high IQs. They know how to guard important areas after occupying the entire territory.

The infantrymen and musketeers formed a team and entered the cave to search. Because Garin didn't like the winding terrain of the cave, he waited at the entrance of the cave until the map was explored.

Soon, the soldiers came out carrying items that made Garin happy.

Boxes were carried out one by one, forming a small hill at the entrance of the cave, which made Garin feel relaxed and happy. Then a group of soldiers escorted a dozen trolls out. Judging from their figures, they should be female trolls, and they were quite young. Their fangs only protruded from their lips, and they looked a bit wild and beautiful.

Well, it looks a lot like the character created by Garin in his previous life, a female troll druid.

Damn the high-ranking officials of the Deadwood Village! They actually hid a beauty in the cave. Tsk tsk.

At this time, a soldier came to report that the northern area had been cleared and the generals had gathered by the lake. Jialin left the troops behind to look after the finances of the Kurumu Village for many years, and went back to check the battle report.

According to Garin's estimation, the casualties on his side in this battle of Kurumu Village should not be too great. Kurumu Village itself has insufficient manpower and outdated equipment. His own soldiers are fully armored and can be considered heavy infantry.

Given the trolls' backward equipment, hastily summoned warriors, and inferior manpower, Garin asked the dead Zalaas and Nimar, how can I let go in order to lose?

Now that the southeast has been secured and the weapons and armor are sufficient, we should encourage and lead the three armies to the north...

To the north is the Sintra, with two powerful troll tribes. To the west, the Witherbark tribe has the fortified city of Shadranor, and to the west, the Evilbranch trolls also have a well-defended city of Sin'losa. I'll deal with it while I grow some troops.

There is a relatively weaker troll tribe on the eastern coast of the Hinterlands, the Revenge Tribe, and perhaps we can start with them.
