Chapter 88 Duke of the East

Garin took advantage of this opportunity to connect to the Heart of Origin and took a look at the situation in the Withered Beard Canyon. The trolls had already begun to attack the city, and they focused on climbing the city gate.

When Garin deployed this section of the city wall at the gate, in order to highlight the top of the city and imitate the gate of Stormwind City, he did not upgrade the outposts on both sides of the gate into arrow towers.

This resulted in the city gate being the area least covered by arrow towers. The trolls discovered this and chose to use the city gate as a breakthrough point to attack the city.

However, it was a mistake in some ways. The trolls gave up other places and concentrated at the city gate, so Aragorn did not have to disperse his troops and could directly defend the city gate.

Otherwise, Garin only left him with a thousand defenders, and it would be difficult for him to defend the nearly two-kilometer-long city wall with insufficient troops.

Gandalf's arrival allowed Aragorn to focus his main attention on the city gate without having to reserve some manpower to prevent trolls from attacking other sections of the city walls.

Omar, who came to report the statistics, interrupted Garin's observation. Before exiting the base's perspective, he looked at Amor's position. The Amor tribe, which was marching rapidly, had arrived at the foot of the mountain, less than an hour away from the Kuxu Canyon.

The counterattack is about to begin.

Garin took the report from Omar.

According to the data in the battle report, nearly one thousand of our soldiers were killed in this battle, including 669 at the North Gate and only 177 at the West Gate.

As for the trolls, they collected more than 4,000 corpses and captured 5,000 trolls, which is a good record. The casualty ratio was one to four. This record shows that the soldiers trained in the base are an elite force.

If the battle report is presented to Solas' desk, it will be enough to make Garin a rising star in Stromgarde and even in all human countries.

When this result came out, Omar, Varokar and other backbone members of the Red Flame Army were full of admiration for the prince.

The number of brothers who died at the North Gate was four times that of the West Gate. Although the prince's troops were half as many as those at the North Gate, Omar and his men were still very ashamed of this casualty ratio. After all, the prince would only be thirteen years old next month, and they were more than ten years older than the prince.

He is half his age, more capable, and as strong as himself. Omar feels that he has been living a dog's life for the past twenty years.

At this moment, Omar truly became a die-hard fan like Varokar, instead of his original rational loyalty to Garin.

Looking at Omar's admiring eyes, Garin guessed what he was thinking. According to the ratio of the two sides' forces, considering the trolls' combat capabilities and the Red Flame Army's excellent equipment, a 10% casualty rate was expected.

How could they know that Garin cheated on this data? In fact, more than 300 people of Simon were killed, because Garin spent money on the Aura of Piety, which made the fully armed character infantry become moving turtle shells in the eyes of the trolls. They were extremely hard and could only effectively kill human soldiers relying on the leader's spell damage.

After the battle, Garin used the resurrection technique again, and finally reduced the number of casualties by 180. Of course, Garin would not reveal the real situation. After all, being admired by the most capable general under his command really made Garin feel comfortable.

In Garin's opinion, Omar is also very loyal to Garin, but his loyalty is not as high as 100 like Varokar. Omar is a rational type, while Garin is only in his teens, not yet an adult, and has no outstanding performance. His future is full of uncertainty, so his loyalty should be around 95.

Future history also verified this point. After the Undead Scourge, Omar joined the Scarlet Crusade and did not continue to be loyal to the Kingdom of Stromgarde.

The battle report this time made Omar a die-hard fan, which was an unexpected gain.

Varokal is different. His loyalty is 100, and that's because the upper limit is only 100. Otherwise, he will tell you that the loyalty of his top confidant is absolutely sky-high.

Garin continued to look down. The seriously injured brothers were all receiving treatment from the priest. After the priest stabilized the condition of the soldiers with broken limbs, he cleaned the ports on the limbs, applied the life potion from the Secret Treasury, and then reattached the broken limbs, just like using 502 glue.

When Jialin saw the technique of reattaching a severed limb, he was astonished. Holy shit, what kind of a cool operation is this? Does the life potion have this function?

For a moment, 502 glue, AB glue and multipurpose glue flashed through his mind. . .

Putting the report aside, Garin began to think about how to maximize the results of the battle.

Several of his branches are located on the west side of the Eastern Alterac Mountains in the Arathi Highlands. They are all towns built based on the mines in the Alterac Mountains. However, except for the Southeast Mining Area, which his father had clearly promised to grant him in the future, Helm's Deep was just a project he had contracted, and the land still belonged to the royal family.

The Deadwood Village has been occupied by himself, and the troops dispatched are his own. In theory, it can be divided into his own frontier territory. This is a provision that follows the laws of the Arathor Empire and is recognized by all countries.

I have to find a way to get my father to give me the title of Duke of Tokaral in advance. If I wait until I turn sixteen to officially receive the title, it will be too late.

Now that the eastern part is occupied by me, there is no extra land to develop in Arathi Highlands. I need a formal official title to move out of Arathi Highlands, open up new lands, and build extensions.

If he went out with the identity of a prince, the land he opened up would belong to him, but theoretically he still had half of the ownership of the kingdom. His base had too many secrets and was not suitable for outsiders to set foot in.

Even in Minas Tirith, which Garen was preparing to open, the area within the third ring would be designated as a restricted area.

You still need an independent title, and a noble title is a good choice.

What to do? Surrender the prisoners at the city gate.

Jialin racked his brains and found a way to show his military achievements from the history of our great China.

Offering captives was a military ceremony in ancient China. When returning victorious, the captured captives would be presented to the ancestral temple to show off one's military achievements.

The prisoners had to be offered as sacrifices, but not really. They had to be brought back in the end, and such good labor had to be used by ourselves.

What? You guys want it too?

Catch it yourself!

Soon after, the battle of Deadbeard Canyon ended. After Amor led his troops to set up an ambush behind the trolls, Gandalf used the water elemental team as the vanguard, and Aragorn led his troops out of the city to counterattack.

The two thousand reinforcements teleported by Gandalf, plus the original one thousand defenders, a total of three thousand people rushed out of the city gate. Under the amplification of Aragorn's pious aura, the armor of the human infantry made it difficult for the poorly equipped trolls to cause effective damage. They were caught off guard and Aragorn rushed to the center of the army. The troll's command was attacked, and the entire troll army was in chaos. Amor led his troops to take the opportunity to kill.

Due to the lack of high-end combat power, the trolls were unable to repel Aragorn, restore command, and stabilize military morale in the fastest time.

It was another great victory. The trolls abandoned their weapons and fled in a panic, leaving behind more than a thousand corpses and more than a thousand prisoners.

Leaving Amor to command the troops, clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners, Gandalf took Aragorn and a team of a thousand men to teleport back to Helm's Deep for defense, and then went to Deadwood Village with Aragorn to prepare to cast the resurrection spell.

In a corner of Deadwood Village, the bodies of fallen soldiers were placed. After Garin sent Omar to count the loot from the cave, he also came here to watch Aragorn cast a spell.

The brilliant holy light shines brighter than when Garin used it, the range is much larger, and the duration of the holy light is twice as long.

In the end, more than a thousand soldiers were killed in Kurumu Village and Kuxu Canyon, but only more than six hundred stood up again.

The first batch of soldiers who died in the battle have not been resurrected. According to Aragorn, the Holy Light can no longer sense the souls of these soldiers, so it cannot bring their souls back to their bodies.

The cooldown time of the resurrection spell is twenty-four hours, which means that it can only be used once in a battle, and must be used within one or two hours. The resurrection spell only has one chance to revive a soldier!
