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

When the Centaur leader Hezrul Bloodmark heard that there were as many as 30,000 wild boars attacking Deadwater Oasis, he immediately lost his composure.

The originally calm expression on his face gradually became anxious.

It is true that the Kolkar Centaurs are stronger in combat than the Quill Boars, but this is based on the fact that their numbers are almost the same.

If these 30,000 wild boar people attacked the Sweetwater Oasis as they did the Deadwater Oasis, then the Sweetwater Oasis would most likely not be able to be defended.

There are only more than 7,000 Centaur soldiers in Sweetwater Oasis now. Even under his wise guidance, it is impossible to defeat tens of thousands of wild boar soldiers.

Hezrul Bloodmark does have this bit of self-awareness.

If they want to defend the Sweetwater Oasis now, it seems that they have to transfer more than 7,000 Centaur soldiers from the Forgotten Pool in the north to join forces.

But even if we really add up the soldiers from the two places, plus the more than 2,000 soldiers who escaped from the Dead Water Oasis, the total number would be about 16,000 soldiers. Could they really defeat the 30,000 wild boar men?

I'm afraid it won't work.

Hezrul Bloodmark was really a little anxious. He was the leader of the Kolkar Centaur. Although he had the reckless character of the Centaur, he was not completely brainless.

He decided to send out a reconnaissance team to determine the number of boar troops attacking Deadwater Oasis.

He had made up his mind that if the boarmen were sure that there were 30,000 of them, then he would lead the Kolkar Centaur to retreat back to the Stonetalon Mountains and temporarily abandon the Sweetwater Oasis and the Pool of Oblivion.

After he recruits enough Centaur soldiers from the Desolate Land, he will return to the Barren Land and occupy these oases.

So, a Centaur reconnaissance team, after receiving instructions from their leader, quickly ran towards the Deadwater Oasis.

Just as Hezrul Bloodmark was worried about his Kolkar centaur tribe, Malkam, far away in the desolate land of Uldaman in the Eastern Kingdoms, summoned Varian.

At this moment, Varian was on the rooftop of Thunder Bluff Castle, enjoying the cool breeze, eating supper and drinking wine, feeling very comfortable.

Malcolm's call interrupted his silence.

Seeing that Malcolm summoned him so late at night, he thought something had happened in Uldaman again, so he skipped his midnight snack and gave the remaining snack and wine to the guards beside him.

Then he used the magic of the time and space gate directly and came to Uldaman.

When Varian arrived in Uldaman, he saw Malcolm at a glance, looking at a pile of strange things on the table in front of him with a sad face.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice Varian approaching.

Varian had to remind him: "Uh, Malcolm, what do you want from me?"

Malcolm finally reacted and said quickly, "Your Highness, you are here!"

Varian said, "Why don't you come to see me so late? Tell me what's going on."

Malcolm said embarrassedly, "It's not a big deal. I'm going to Ironforge tomorrow. Didn't you ask me to give Princess Moira a gift? I carefully selected for a long time, but I don't know what to give, so please check it, Your Highness."

I thought it was something important, but it was just a small matter. Varian said, "Let me see what kind of gifts you bought."

Malcolm quickly introduced it to Varian: "This potion is called Noggenfogger Potion. It can be purchased from the goblin shop in Daggerridge Fortress. After using it, it can make the character model smaller, turn it into a skeleton, or gain the effect of slow fall. Is it fun?"

Varian nodded. It was fun, but not a suitable gift for girls, right? Not romantic enough.

Malcolm added: "This accessory is called the Carrot on a Stick. After equipping it, the mount's speed will increase by 3%."

Varian nodded again. It was quite fun and it was okay to give it as a gift for fun, but it was not good enough.

Malcolm then picked up another pair of glasses, put them on and said, "The glasses I'm wearing now are called dwarf X-ray glasses. I bought them from a dwarf. They're not cheap! After you put them on, they may allow you to see through other people's clothes and armor."

"What?" Varian took a few steps back and said, "You are wearing glasses now and can see through my clothes and armor. What do you see?"

Malcolm looked Varian up and down, his eyes widened as he said, "I saw it. It's pretty big."

Varian rushed forward and snatched the glasses from Malcolm.

Then he put on the glasses, looked around, and said, "Do you think these glasses can be given to Princess Moira? Really, I will confiscate the glasses."

Then Varian said, "None of these things of yours are suitable as gifts for Princess Moira. I have a solution. Come with me."

Malcolm said, "Where to?"

Varian said, "Thunder Bluff!"

After saying that, Varian took Malcolm and used the magic of the time and space gate to return to Thunder Bluff.

Varian took Malcolm directly to the castle's treasury and came to the blood rock ore.

This piece of blood rock ore was given by the Thornback Boar Chieftain, Thornfang Thornbrist, and is a sacred object of the Thornback Boar.

Touching the blood rock ore will produce a very good effect, just like adding a bloodthirsty BUFF. Attack, defense, intelligence, agility, movement speed, almost all attributes will be improved by about 10%.

Varian said: "Malcolm, cut a small piece of blood rock ore and polish it into the shape of a heart."

Malcolm said, "Heart-shaped blood rock? Will this work? Will Princess Moira like it?"

Varian said: "Believe me, Princess Moira will definitely like it."

Although Malcolm is a straight man and doesn't understand these little tricks, he believes in Varian.

So he quickly cut off a palm-sized piece of blood rock ore, and then began to polish it according to the heart shape drawn by Varian.

Dwarves have an innate talent for polishing stones.

After only ten or twenty minutes, Malcolm polished a perfect heart-shaped stone, smooth and beautiful, without any flaws.

Varian was very impressed with Malcolm's skills and said, "Tomorrow, you just need to take this heart-shaped stone to Princess Moira and tell her that this is a natural heart-shaped stone that you found by accident, okay?"

Malcolm said, "This is a lie."

Varian said: "This is not called cheating, this is to make girls happy, you know?"

Malcolm said, "Well, I believe you, Your Highness."
