Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

After the castle was built, the production of lancers reached 28 per week. Today happens to be Sunday, and tomorrow is a new week. These 28 lancers can be recruited tomorrow. Together with the 14 recruited before, the base will have a total of 42 lancers.

And next week, I can recruit archers. As long as I have archers, and the Dagger Ridge Castle is strong, ordinary gnolls will not be able to break through even if I am not there.

Varian was quite satisfied with the current progress of the base's construction. He knew that it would take more effort and time to make this place stronger. But now it seemed that everything was moving in a good direction. He believed that with the passage of time, this place would become an indestructible fortress.

The days on the road were boring and monotonous, and he missed the Hearthstone in his previous game a little bit, but in reality, there was no such thing as Hearthstone.

I haven't learned the portal spell, so I can only travel slowly.

I was bored on the road, and another day of watching the team members kill wild boars passed.

The next day, Varian had just woken up and didn't even have time to wash up before he went into the Dagger Ridge base in his mind to check.

Today, you can build the Archer Tower! I looked at the requirements and found that it would require 1000 gold coins, 5 units of wood, and 5 units of stone. I immediately built the Archer Tower.

The newly built Archer Tower can only recruit the basic number of Archers, 9. In the next week, you can recruit double the number of Archers with the castle bonus, that is, 18.

The recruitment price is 100 gold coins each.

Varian recruited nine archers and arranged them near the castle to guard the entrance to Dagger Ridge.

The number of soldiers is increasing slowly and the speed is too fast. We have to find a way to make it gradually reasonable. Otherwise, how do we explain the sudden appearance of a large number of soldiers in the future?

This is why Varian is in a hurry to return to Stormwind.

The most urgent task is to have the authority to command the army and recruit soldiers. Thinking of this, Varian decided to go back early and have a good talk with his father, King Llane.

So after washing up, he told the team members to hurry on their journey and not to catch any wild animals on the road.

All the way, Varian was thinking about how to ask his father for authority.

Because they deliberately sped up the march, they returned to Stormwind two days later. Varian returned home, took a comfortable bath, and then went straight to King Llane who was handling government affairs.

"Father, I'm back!" Varian walked in and greeted Ryan.

Then he put two bags of chrysanthemum tea and a few pork liver pies on the table. He guessed that Ryan had never eaten these things before, so he gave them to him to try.

Seeing that it was Varian, Ryan put down the document in his hand, nodded and asked: "How is it, is the Western Wilderness fun?"

"It's interesting. It turns out that the Western Plains is so rich, with such high gold and grain production, and the food is delicious. Here, this is Yuexi Town's specialty pork liver pie. It tastes good. I brought a few for my father to try." After Varian finished speaking, he handed the pork liver pie to Ryan.

Ryan took it and took a bite and said, "Well, not bad, this is something that Stormwind doesn't have."

Varian thought for a moment and said, "Father, there are many gnolls in the western fertile lands. Did you know that?"

"I know this. Since the Western Wilderness is too large and there is no army stationed there, the dozen or so soldiers in Yuexi Town are not enough to cover the entire Western Wilderness." Ryan said with a sigh.

In fact, before Varian returned to Stormwind, Llane already knew that they had killed a small group of gnolls.

"Then why not build a fortress there? After all, it is an important mining and grain area." Varian asked.

"We can't take care of the Western Plains for the time being. There is also the threat of gnolls in the Redridge Mountains, and the threat of kobolds and murlocs in Elwynn Forest has not been eliminated. We don't have enough troops to cover the entire Western Plains." Ryan said helplessly.

The time has come! I've been waiting for you to say this!

"Father, let me build a fortress there. I will be responsible for raising the soldiers' expenses and eliminating the threat of the gnolls in the western fertile fields."

After listening to Varian's words, Ryan fell into deep thought.

Originally, he was planning to build a fortress in the western plains in a few years. After all, there are several large mining areas there. If he follows the previous practice, he can now allocate a fiefdom to Varian to manage. However, the several large mining areas are currently an important source of wealth for the kingdom and cannot be allocated to him for the time being.

It's okay to build a fortress, so that he can practice his ability to lead troops, and by the way, he can practice with the gnolls over there and grow faster.

After all, a prince who can't lead troops or fight wars is not what he wants. He only has this one son, and what he wants is an heir who can make the Storm Kingdom stronger and stronger.

After thinking it over, Ryan asked, "Where do you want to build the fortress?"

Varian spread out a map of the Western Plains on the table, pointed at Dagger Ridge and said, "I want to build a fortress here at Dagger Ridge."

Ryan was a little confused: "Isn't this a stone mountain? Why build it here?"

Varian explained: "First, this place is not far from Moonbrook, so we can defend Moonbrook at any time. Second, the biggest threat to the Western Plains may be the trolls from the Stranglethorn Vale in the south. Building a fortress at Dagger Ridge can prevent the trolls from entering the Western Plains through the Dawn Forest. Third, the fortress is built on a stone mountain, which has a natural barrier and is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"I agree!" Ryan thought Varian's words made sense and had no reason to disagree.

After thinking for a while, Ryan continued, "I will give you 5,000 gold coins as the cost of building the fortress. The garrison of the fortress will only be your 30-man guard team, and you can recruit your own troops in the future. The stone mountain on Dagger Ridge will be given to you as a fiefdom. You will be the lord there and can develop freely."

"How is it? Are you satisfied, Lord of Dagger Ridge?"

Varian nodded repeatedly after hearing this. His father really understood him and gave him everything he wanted.

As long as you agree to build a fortress, the emergence of the Dagger Ridge base will be reasonable, and the troops produced by the base will also be reasonable.

As for gold coins, he was not in a hurry at the moment. After all, he had the National Assembly, and the daily output of 4,000 gold coins was basically enough for normal development. With the Dagger Ridge territory, couldn't he develop it? He believed that as long as he was given time, he would be able to make Dagger Ridge prosperous and strong.

This time, he was very satisfied. He would be the great lord of Dagger Ridge and the commander of the Dagger Ridge Army in the future. Although it was just a small territory, he built it by himself, and it also had the strong strength and resource support of the system. This meant that he could slowly expand his strength. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
