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

Many residents of Redridge Mountains, Elwynn Forest, and Dawnwood began to respond to the king's call and migrate to Stormwind City, Daggerridge Fortress, or Stranglethorn Vale.

To this end, Varian specifically confirmed the food reserves in Stormwind with his father, King Llane, and there are still relatively large reserves.

This is thanks to Varian's fishing fleet and the fishing fleet in Stormwind Port, which have developed a large amount of marine resources. Not only did the residents of Stormwind Kingdom have a lot of seafood to eat, but there was also a surplus of various foods.

Stormwind City now also stores a lot of food.

But even with free food distribution, there are still some residents who are unwilling to leave their hometown, and they voluntarily join the militia, ready to fight against the green-skinned orcs and defend their homes.

Most of the residents of Dawn Forest went to Dagger Ridge Fortress and participated in militia training. They have certain military qualities and can be of some help on the battlefield.

At this moment, Varian suddenly remembered that during the First War, there was a book of extraordinary significance to the Church of Holy Light, called "The Sacred Book", which had been kept in the Northshire Monastery.

Later, after the war broke out, the ogre lord Turok led his thieves to sneak into the Northshire Abbey and steal the sacred book.

Because the book was so important to Northshire Abbey, Sir Lothar personally led the team to chase these ogres.

He chased the ogres all the way to the Deathmines in the Westwads, but due to the disparity in numbers, Sir Lothar was defeated by the ogres and was imprisoned in the Deathmines.

After a long time, Sir Lothar was rescued and returned to the battlefield to continue leading the Storm Kingdom army to fight against the orcs.

In order to prevent this from happening, Varian decided to go to Northshire Abbey in person to persuade the priests stationed there to retreat and leave Northshire Abbey.

Since there were no griffins hovering over Northshire Abbey, Varian could not teleport directly there, so he simply rode a royal griffin and flew towards Northshire Abbey himself.

Stormwind City is not far from Northshire Abbey, and Varian was flying on a griffin, so there was no need to detour through Goldshire, so he quickly flew to Northshire Valley.

Northshire Abbey is the birthplace of humans in the game. Varian has been busy with this and that for so many years since he traveled here, and has no time to wander around. This is actually his first time here.

After walking through a familiar white brick wall, Varian saw an extremely familiar monastery. The surrounding grass was almost exactly the same as he remembered, except that there were no longer many mangy wolves on the surrounding grass.

From the surrounding trees came bursts of melodious bird calls.

The crystal river next to it has gurgling water and is crystal clear, giving off an exceptionally peaceful feeling.

Northshire Abbey was the starting point for him to get to know the world of Azeroth in this game. Varian couldn't help but shed tears.

"Your Highness, welcome to Northshire Abbey!"

A pleasant female voice brought Varian back to reality from his memories.

The person who spoke was Natalie Serling, the bishop of Northshire Abbey. She and several priests had been waiting outside the abbey early.

Varian said: "Hello, Bishop Natalie!"

Bishop Natalie invited Varian into the monastery and served him the best tea.

Varian took a sip and it was indeed delicious. The mountains and water in the Northshire Valley were great, and the tea brewed there was also exceptionally delicious.

After two sips of tea, Varian got straight to the point and said, "Bishop Natalie, you should have received the news about the recent orc invasion, right? I would like to ask you to move to Stormwind City temporarily, and then move back after things calm down."

Bishop Natalie said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, you also know how important the Northshire Monastery is to the Church of Holy Light and to Lord Alonsus Faol. We want to stay here to protect the Northshire Monastery."

Varian said: "The orcs are very brutal, you can't defend them."

Bishop Natalie said, "Let's try it first. If we can't hold on, we'll retreat back to Stormwind City. Besides, the nearby residents who haven't evacuated yet, as well as other adventurers, also need the monastery's help, don't they?"

Varian was speechless and asked them whether they were stubborn or great. After all, taking care of other residents and adventurers was a noble act.

Feeling that Bishop Natalie was difficult to persuade, Varian said, "In that case, I will not persuade you anymore, but I suggest that the Sacred Book must be kept in Stormwind City. This is my bottom line."

Bishop Natalie thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you right away."

After a while, Bishop Natalie brought down a book with a faint glow from upstairs. It was obviously a treasure, no wonder the ogre came to steal it.

Varian carefully placed the sacred book into his backpack.

Afterwards, Varian once again reminded the priests: "If a strong enemy attacks, do not resist head-on, and retreat to Stormwind City at any time."

Bishop Natalie said, "Don't worry! We will."

After coming out of Northshire Abbey, Varian directly used the magic of the time and space portal to return to Stormwind City.

He placed the sacred book directly in the treasury of the palace.

At this time, he discovered that troops were gathering in the square outside, so Varian also went out to see.

When I went out to take a look, I saw Sir Lothar gathering troops, including cavalry, infantry, and archers.

Seeing Varian coming over, Sir Lothar said, "Your Highness, the situation is not good. Duke Elro Eberlock of Gran Village said that a small-scale orc army has appeared near the Dawn Forest. He asked me to send more people over."

"Mayor Solomon of Lakeside Town also sent a message saying that traces of orcs have appeared in Red Ridge Mountain, and villagers have been attacked."

Varian said: "Send more soldiers to garrison there and evacuate the residents as soon as possible."

Sir Lothar said: "I now expect to send 10,000 soldiers to Gran Village and Red Ridge Mountain in the first batch, and then see how the situation develops."

Varian nodded in approval.

Because he knew that the orcs would not immediately send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Stormwind City directly.

At the beginning, the orcs sent small-scale troops, or dozens or hundreds of orcs, to explore, harass, and plunder everywhere. At this time, many places in the rear, such as Elwynn Forest, could still produce normally.

At this time, you only need to send a certain number of soldiers to garrison in the town to repel these small-scale invading orcs.

The orcs are still slowly getting familiar with this new world, and it will take another half a year for them to launch a large-scale attack on humans.
