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

A few days later, Varian, Malcolm, and two hundred griffin riders, as well as two hundred combat dwarves also riding griffins, set out from Lakeside Town in Redridge Mountains and flew to the Burning Plains in the north.

After flying around the Burning Plains, I found that there was almost no suitable place to live. It was all caused by the Firelord Ragnaros. The entire Burning Plains was now like a mountain of fire.

Whether it is the mountains or the land, there is flowing magma everywhere, and there are some fire imps on the magma.

Varian looked around and thought that the only place suitable for living in the Burning Plains was probably Blackrock Mountain, but that was the base camp of the Dark Iron Dwarves. At the foot of the mountain was the Molten Core, where Ragnaros, the Firelord, was.

In this case, there would be no way to live in the Burning Plains. We cannot fight a war with the Dark Iron Dwarves and Ragnaros just for the shelter of a few hundred dwarves. It is unrealistic.

So Varian led his troops to fly north again, and soon arrived at the Searing Gorge. Unexpectedly, it was still the sphere of influence of the Dark Iron Dwarves. There was a Thorium Outpost in the northwest direction of the Searing Gorge. Varian knew that it was the base camp of the Thorium Brotherhood of the Dark Iron Dwarves.

The Burning Steppes and the Searing Gorge were ruled out, and Varian led his troops to fly westward, soon reaching the Barren Land.

Once in the Badlands, Varian felt better.

The Barren Land is just barren, with less vegetation and the land basically covered with yellow mud. Cacti grow in many places, but it is not as hot as the Burning Plains and the Scorching Canyon, and there is no lava flowing on the ground.

Moreover, we saw along the way that there were quite a lot of prey here, with ridgeback leopards and cliff dogs everywhere. Living here, food supply would not be a problem.

As soon as he entered the wasteland, Varian began to fly around and check everywhere. Even though some places were obviously not suitable for living, Varian still wanted to fly over to take a look.

After looking around for a few times, Malkum couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what are you looking for?"

"It's okay, I won't look for it anymore." Varian said.

Varian turned around for a few times but couldn't find the broken tooth, so he gave up looking for it.

Although this wasteland is not hot, there is no good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Varian was worrying about it, he suddenly remembered that there was a relic of the Creator in the northernmost part of the wasteland, called Uldaman, so he decided to go there.

Uldaman is a city buried deep underground left behind by the ancient Titans when they created the world, so it is called the ruins of the Creator.

In the game, after the Orc War, the dwarves of Ironforge discovered Uldaman and excavated part of it, but later Uldaman was occupied by the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Inside Uldaman, there are a large number of stone palates and stone guards.

Legend has it that these stone monsters were made by the Titans using stones, but later they felt they were a failure, so they sealed the stone monsters away.

The Titans created earthen spirits out of stone for the second time. These stone-skinned dwarves are the ancestors of today's dwarves.

After the Titans created the earthen spirits, they allowed them to continue carving and guarding Uldaman deep underground.

The earth spirits focus on guarding the underground world and almost never get involved in things on the ground.

Until the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the entire world of Azeroth was torn apart, and the earth elementals in the underground world were also greatly affected, losing consciousness and falling into a deep sleep.

He slept for nearly 8000 years.

Later, the earth spirits were awakened for unknown reasons. They found that their bodies were no longer as hard as their previous stone skins, but had become soft and smooth. They also lost the special ability to control stone given by the Titans and became ordinary creatures.

They called themselves "dwarves". After becoming ordinary people, they could no longer go without food and water like stone men. They needed food, and the dwarves faced survival problems.

So they left Uldaman and soon found a suitable place to live nearby.

They established the dwarven kingdom on a tall mountain and named it "Khaz Modan" after the Titan god of construction, Khaz'goroth.

They still liked the feeling of living underground, so they hollowed out the mountain and built a large city called Ironforge.

But hundreds of years later, the dwarves seemed to have forgotten the origins of Uldaman.

So at this time, there were no Ironforge dwarves and Dark Iron dwarves in Uldaman, only some Stonethroats at most.

Varian settled the dwarves in Uldaman, and their origin was the most legitimate.

So Varian commanded his troops to fly north towards the wasteland.

After flying for about four or five hours, we arrived at a place where there were many ruins of large buildings, as well as stone walls and stone carvings.

That’s right, only Titans can build these huge buildings.

After some searching, Varian found a cave under a huge stone wall.

Malcolm was about to lead the dwarves into the cave, and Varian asked him to add buffs such as body shield to the soldiers.

Then Varian took out the blood rock ore from his backpack and let the soldiers touch it.

The soldiers who touched the blood rock ore had some faint red shadows on their bodies, as if they had a bloodthirsty BUFF.

The griffin riders also left their griffins outside and prepared to walk into the cave.

Before they entered the cave, they heard a series of squeaking sounds coming from the cave, and it sounded like there were quite a few of them.

Malcolm quickly put the soldiers on alert, while Varian summoned several giant water elementals.

I saw a large group of humanoid creatures rushing out with weapons such as hammers and shovels.

A Trogg! It looks a bit like a large Kobold, but its head is more human-like.

A large group of Wuwawas fought with the water elements and combat dwarves.

Malcolm began to cast healing magic on the battle dwarf.

Varian cast chain lightning at the Palatogna.

A chain lightning bolt directly electrocuted dozens of stone monsters to death, and the attack range was much larger than that of a continuous fireball.

Two hundred priests began to release arcane energy balls in the rear.

The cave was very narrow, and a large number of stone palates were blocking the back and unable to rush out. It was very crowded. After Varian released chain lightning, he released continuous fireballs and then a blizzard.

The stone monsters were not very strong, but there were many of them, and dozens of dwarves fell soon after the battle.

Varian quickly cast the magic of reincarnation and resurrected the battle dwarf.

Varian simply cast several fire walls to seal the cave entrance. After the stone monsters rushed out, many of them were burned and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and then no more stone monsters rushed out. It seemed that they were all dead.

As Varian kept reincarnating and rebirthing, the fighting dwarves suffered almost no casualties.
