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

In the two days on the road, Varian built two military facilities at the Dagger Ridge base, the Griffin Tower and the Barracks.

Among them, the Griffin Tower is a military unit that can recruit a new type of soldier, the Griffin, for 200 gold coins each.

The griffin is a large bird of prey with an eagle's head and a lion's body. It has the ability to fly and has strong attack power, and can play a big role on the battlefield. Varian also knew that after the dwarves tamed the griffin, they created the griffon knight, which is a very powerful aerial force.

There are no griffins in Stormwind Kingdom, only in the dwarves' land of the Hinterlands Forest in the north. In the original novel, humans and dwarves only traded some common goods. After the orc war, humans and dwarves formed an alliance, and Stormwind Kingdom had griffins, which were used as a means of transportation.

Varian thought that now that he had a griffin, he didn't need to go through the dwarves, so he could just say that he had found and tamed a griffin in the mountains of Dagger Ridge.

Of course, the griffins recruited now can only fight alone. If you want to train griffin knights, it will probably take some time and effort to research.

Then there is the barracks. This system barracks is not the same as the barracks in Stormwind. The swordsmen it produces are at least level 5 warriors, and can be upgraded to crusaders in the later stage. The ordinary infantry trained by the Stormwind barracks are only level 2 and 3.

Varian specially built the Griffin Tower in a remote location in the base valley, close to the cliff at the back, so that the griffins could fly to the top of the mountain and move around without taking up too much space in the valley.

After everything in Stormwind was arranged, Varian called the Dagger Ridge Guards and prepared to set off.

This time, the destination is the jade mine located in the central part of Elwynn Forest, north of Azura's Tower.

While he has some free time now, Varian must go and confirm whether the ore in the jade mine can become a gem resource in the system.

When I first left Stormwind, I stopped to look at the cows and deer on the roadside. It took me two full days to walk from Stormwind to Goldshire.

This time we rode at full speed and arrived in a day and a half.

Seeing the sheriff on the side of the road, he went up to him and said hello.

Upon learning that Varian was going to the jade mine for inspection, Duhan said, "Your Highness, the jade mine is not very safe right now. A group of giant spiders have been harassing the mine recently, and the mine has been shut down."

"What! Such a thing happened, but it was not reported to Stormwind?" Varian asked.

Du Han said: "It has been reported. Someone should be sent to deal with it in the next two days."

"I'll take care of it. It's just a bunch of spiders, no big deal," Varian said.

Du Han looked at the dozens of Dagger Ridge Guards cavalrymen behind him and said, "That's great! Your Highness has such an elite force, killing those spiders will be a piece of cake. I wish you success."

At this moment, Varian was very happy. The mine was shut down. It was good to shut down the mine. This way, he could go in and test and collect the gems.

Unconsciously.

"Let's go!" Varian stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand, signaling the troops to move towards the jade mine.

While riding along the road, Varian suddenly remembered that he had not gone to build the base today, so he concentrated his mental energy on the Dagger Ridge base in his mind.

Today you can build a temple, and you can recruit monks. After upgrading, monks will become priests, a unit that uses mental power to make long-range attacks. Some versions translate it as priests. Varian believes that this is a new profession between discipline priests and mages.

I looked at the resources needed to build the temple. It requires 5000 gold coins, 5 units of stone, 5 units of stone, 2 units of mercury, 2 units of sulfur, 2 units of crystal, and 2 units of gems.

Seeing the resources needed, it was just as Varian knew. When it came to high-level buildings, other resources such as gems were needed. Fortunately, the system initially came with 20 units of each resource, otherwise work would have to be stopped today.

After silently chanting for construction, a flash of light appeared, and a temple appeared not far from the barracks.

When I went in, I saw that a monk cost 400 gold coins, which was a decent price. I could only recruit 3 in the first week. I recruited Varian and had him guard near the temple.

After the operation, Varian's mind left the base.

The jade mine was not too far from Shanjin Town, less than a day's journey away. They set out in the morning, and it was already evening when they arrived near the mine.

Varian checked and found that these spiders were all mine spiders. This kind of spider gathered in various caves. They were all of level two or three in combat power and not very strong. However, there were a lot of spiders in this mine. Dozens of them could be seen at the cave entrance alone, and it was unknown how many were in the depths of the mine.

After thinking for a while, he gathered the team members and said, "There are too many spiders here. I will use group magic to attack the spiders. If the spiders come over or are alone, you will be responsible for killing them. Is there any problem?"

"Your Highness, no problem!"

After receiving the order, the team members began to form a semicircular formation around the cave entrance.

Seeing that the team members had already taken their positions, Varian chanted a spell towards a group of spiders at the entrance of the mine: "infuly frostaris sedaa!"

Then he waved the staff in his hand, and a powerful magical energy gushed out from the staff and turned into snowflakes all over the sky.

Snow covered the entrance of the mine cave, and instantly a cold breath enveloped the entrance of the mine cave. Dozens of spiders at the entrance of the mine cave were harmed by the freezing magic, and many spiders died on the spot. Some spiders on the edge hurriedly ran out of the range covered by the blizzard.

The blizzard magic has a slowing effect, and these spiders, which are slow in movement and already have low health, are killed by the team members surrounding them from the outside.

It was a completely suspenseful and crushing battle.

In about three hours, Varian and his men cleaned up the entire mine and killed six or seven hundred mine spiders.

In the mine, Varian found a lot of broken gems, including shadow stone, malachite and green agate. He tried it and found that the system could collect them all, and 1 cubic meter equals 1 unit.

While the team members were not paying attention, Varian kept collecting broken gems from every corner, and collected nearly fifty units in total.

In fact, things like malachite are not very valuable, and the broken ones are even less valuable. If you need them in the future, you can buy them directly without spending too much money.

At the suggestion of the team members, hundreds of spider legs and spider meat were also collected and taken back to Goldshire to sell for money. Many people in Stormwind Kingdom like to eat crispy spider meat, but Varian really couldn't eat it.
