Chapter 96 Northron Development Plan

Azeroth has entered spring in March, and fish follow the ocean currents to return to the shallow sea to spawn and reproduce. At this time, deep-sea murlocs are attracted by the fish season and come to the coastline to fish.

By the way, the coastline of the Eastern Kingdom began to be flooded with murlocs. Every March and September, the human kingdom had to spend a lot of energy to clear out the murlocs that came ashore to cause damage.

The Kingdom of Stromgarde is luckier in this regard. Of the long coastline of the Baradin Bay, only a small section belongs to Stromgarde, and most of it is cliffs. Only the Bay of Faldir is suitable for landing, so Stromgarde is not plagued by murlocs.

Faldir Bay was named after the last king of the Arathor Empire. When the lords of the Arathor Empire abandoned their ancient city and established new city-states in the vast land of the north, the descendants of Arathi were left in the crumbling walls of the ancient Stromgarde.

The heir of Emperor Thoradin named Faldir, the last heir of the Arathi bloodline, was full of disappointment with the almost self-independent lords. He led a group of his people who were still loyal to him, sailed out from the bay southeast of Stromgarde, and headed south to find new territory.

In order to commemorate this descendant of the emperor, the people who stayed in Arathi Highlands named the bay where he left by boat as Fadil Bay. Fadil Dabile, the second son of the Dabile family and the third captain of the Red Flame Army, was also named Fadil by Garin's father for this reason.

In the Palatine Gulf, Garin's fleet took advantage of the spring trade winds and followed the ocean current eastward into the Sardo Strait.

After a whole day of sailing, they finally passed through a narrow sea passage. Looking at the towering cliffs on both sides of the strait, Jialin couldn't help but want to recite a poem. The monkeys on both sides of the strait kept crying, and the boat had passed through thousands of mountains!

What a good poem! What a good poem!

Well, that’s a poem by Li Bai. What Jialin said was: Oh my god, what a high mountain, what a steep cliff.

When the fleet came out of the Saldo Strait, they did not sail south. Their first stop was a small plain protruding above the sea level in the north.

This small plain is still part of the Arathi Highlands in terms of geographical location. You can see this small plain by crossing Garin's new branch Isengard, which is the Alterac Mountains just east of the original Deadwood Village.

The small plain covers an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square kilometers. In Jialin's opinion, the location is hidden enough. The vast mountains block the route to this place, and to the east is the endless forbidden sea.

In the future, this place will be occupied by a group of dwarves and gnomes, led by a gnome named Gromi. They opened up a large number of farms and goat farms here, and finally declined due to the undead plague.

It seemed necessary to Garin to build a secret base here. In the game, Garin had only seen airships crossing the Forbidden Sea, but had never seen this sailing route of the Alliance and the Horde.

The pirates are only active in the Endless Sea between the two continents. They build a port city here and several shipyards and docks, so that there will be an additional route to the Kalimdor continent in the future.

Five hundred soldiers and fifty farmers were left on the small plain, and a town and a large number of farms, ten blacksmith shops, two workshops, a griffin cage, and a simple dock were deployed on the plain.

In this way, the comprehensive base named Donghai Town by Jialin was half completed, and other buildings would be added later.

Jialin wants to build the Donghai Town base into a grain production base, an arsenal for weapons and equipment, and an integrated air force and navy base. Currently, the only thing missing is a shipyard and shipbuilding craftsmen.

After setting up this base, the fleet continued on its journey, heading south along the coastline. After a month of sailing, they finally reached their second destination.

This is a mountain protruding from the sea. Its altitude is estimated to be close to two thousand meters. The gray-black mountain body is an irregular circle with smooth and steep walls.

Garin remembered that when he visited this goblin workshop in his previous life, a large number of Wildhammer Thunderclaw Griffin Knights were attacking this tribal stronghold.

The steep mountains prevented the Wildhammer dwarves from deploying too many troops, so they could only send out griffin troops to attack from the air.

Garin also planned to learn from the goblins' construction method, but the goblins used a large amount of wooden scaffolding to build an oil refining workshop, which was also an airship airport.

Garin's idea was much simpler and more crude. He planned to imitate the construction style of the palace on Wudang Mountain in Great China, directly change the terrain, and violently shovel the top of the mountain into a flat-topped mountain. As long as the open space could accommodate a town hall, a barracks and a circle of arrow towers, it would be fine.

Then, they transformed the mountain from top to bottom, turning it into a fortress stronghold, firmly nailing it to the Forbidden Sea as a barrier to the south of Arathi Highlands.

Aragorn left a thousand soldiers to garrison the cloud-top city, while Galen and Gandalf continued to lead the fleet south.

The sea breeze in May is no longer as cold as before. Garin is now looking into the distance from the bow of the ship. He can already see the rushing Valar River flowing into the ocean from afar.

Elemental activity in Northron is very active. There are many water elements active in the Valar Delta washed out by the rushing rivers.

They have arrived at their second destination, the Valar Delta, where the future Dragonmaw orcs occupied and established Dragonmaw Port.

Based on the principle of first come, first served, Garin occupied it without hesitation. This place was far away from the Wildhammer dwarf village, and the nearest Flamebeard clan was several days' journey away. In theory, it was an unowned land.

Moreover, the Wildhammer dwarves yearn for the sky, and their griffins do not like the humid air at the seaside and rarely approach the coastline of Northron.

Harmon's diplomatic mission set out half a month earlier than Garin. The fleet sailed on the sea for nearly two months. Harmon and his team arrived at the gathering point of the Flamebeard clan earlier by land. With plenty of fine wine, it was easy for them to get the Flamebeard clan leader to agree to let humans build a port to the east of them to trade in wine and food.

After the port was established, it was of great benefit to them and made trade between them and humans more convenient.

They drank the wine themselves and bought food for their griffin companions as snacks. There was no other way, the griffins' appetites were too huge. Although they could go out hunting on their own, every winter, when all things hibernated, it was difficult for the griffins to catch prey to fill their stomachs.

After landing at a shallow beach, Garin began to look for Hamon's camp nearby. They agreed that after getting the dwarf's permission, they would set up a camp nearby and wait for his arrival.

Garin led the remaining soldiers into Harmon's camp. He would use this camp as a starting point to build a commercial port.

Starting from this port, you can go north to the territory of the high elves and east across the Forbidden Sea to the west coast of Kalimdor. Garin can trade with both the night elves and the tauren who settled in the western part of Kalimdor.

The most important thing is that in the future, troops can be sent out from here and land directly on the Cursed Land by sea. While the large orc army is attacking the north of the continent, Garin will raid their empty base camp in the south.

Garin felt happy again as he imagined the construction of this Benliu Port.

The next day, Gandalf took fifty farmers with him and set off for an island further south. The terrain of that island was different from that of Cloudtop City. It was completely flat land. After a simple cleanup, they could start building a sea fortress.

Gandalf will build a fortress there.

Garin has already thought of a name, it’s Antonburg!
