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

Varian assigned them two teams: "Karen, you will be in charge of the halberdiers and crusaders; Mathias, you will be in charge of the archers and champion knights, and I will be in charge of the griffin knights."

"Understood, Your Highness." The two nodded.

Now you can go to the rear shooting range, familiarize yourself with the troops, try to coordinate, and set off tomorrow morning." Varian said, and flew to the top of the mountain on a griffin.

After hearing this, the two new recruits, Karen and Mathias, happily went to practice deploying their troops.

They had never even been on the battlefield before, but now they were directly deploying their troops. How could they not be happy?

The next day, after the troops gathered at the Dagger Ridge Fortress, they began their non-stop journey. After all, the Jangorod Mine was quite far away from Dagger Ridge.

Two days later, Varian's army had arrived five kilometers away from the Jangorod Mine.

As usual, before the battle, Varian first used his magic eyes of insight to understand the enemy's situation.

After carefully observing the densely packed kobolds in the mine, Varian had an idea.

There are a total of more than 600 gnolls of various types, most of them are at the second or third level of strength, and there is one at the fourth level.

Alas, they are just a bunch of poor people, bullying the unarmed miners.

Varian thought about it and decided that it would not be a good idea to kill all the hundreds of kobolds. It would be better to capture them all and take them to the Moonbrook Town mine to mine.

Well, good idea.

So, Varian, Karen and Mathias assigned some tasks and asked them to lead the troops to slowly surround the Jangorod Mine.

There is only one entrance and exit to the Jangorod Mine. Varian knows this. As long as he surrounds the entrance, the kobolds will not be able to escape.

Varian rode a griffin and led the griffin knight troops to fly towards the cave entrance from the air.

Two patrolling kobolds at the cave entrance panicked when they saw a group of griffin riders flying in the sky. They ran towards the mine, shouting "Ouch! Ouch!" as they ran.

After hearing the alarm of the patrolling gnolls, more than a dozen gnolls rushed out shortly after and found that the cave entrance had been surrounded by a large group of human infantry, cavalry and archers.

Varian cast a mass arcane wisdom on the kobolds in the mines, allowing them to understand what he said.

Varian rode on a griffin and shouted to the kobolds in the air: "Listen, kobolds inside, you have been surrounded. If you want to survive, put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender. If you don't surrender, you will die!"

At this time, a fourth-level kobold walked to the front of the mine, supported by a group of kobolds. He was obviously their leader.

It observed the humans and found that the number of dog-headed people was greater than that of humans. Immediately, with a "howl", a large group of dog-headed people rushed out of the mine.

The kobolds hold a variety of weapons in their hands, including shovels, picks, daggers, axes, hammers, and daggers.

They are basically melee troops, with only a few gnolls holding bows and arrows, which are worse than the Riverclaw Gnolls. The Gnolls also have some mages, but these gnolls don't have any.

Seeing that the kobolds were so ungrateful, Varian immediately issued an order: "Attack! Don't let any kobolds escape!"

"Halberdiers, Crusaders, forward!"

Karen swung the sword in his hand forward, and the halberdiers and crusaders began to slowly narrow the encirclement and walked towards the kobold step by step, their steps were sonorous and powerful, and quite majestic.

Mathias began to give orders: "First team of sharpshooters, start shooting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of arrows were shot out instantly, all hitting the kobold at the entrance of the cave.

More than a dozen kobolds were killed on the spot.

The kobold crowd became agitated, and the kobold leader shouted, "Ahhh! Ahhhh!"

This is the order to attack.

Hundreds of gnolls immediately charged forward and engaged in a melee with the halberd soldiers.

There were a lot of gnolls, but they had no formation or order and just fought randomly, and the scene began to become chaotic.

There are more kobolds than infantry, basically two kobolds to one infantryman, but their equipment is too poor, their weapons are very bad, and they have no defense at all, while the infantrymen are wearing exquisite plate armor and cannot be hit, so the kobolds do not have the upper hand.

Mathias watched, and seeing that it was too chaotic to shoot, he began to shout, "Sharpshooters fall back, cavalrymen attack!"

After the cavalry joined the battlefield, the ogres were in a miserable state. The cavalry were too strong. They were all heavily armored knights. The average strength of the champion knights was above level five, and many were level six. The ogres soon began to fall into a disadvantage.

Varian didn't even want to cast magic anymore, fearing that he would accidentally kill too many kobolds and suffer a loss.

Since realizing the importance of priests, Varian brought six priests this time, striving to achieve zero casualties.

When the soldiers on the field were injured, they were healed immediately, which was even over-medicalized.

It was Karen's first time on the battlefield and he was extremely excited. After the scene became chaotic, he also left the battlefield.

As a seventh-level warrior, he rushed into the kobolds and hacked them wildly. If Varian had not reminded him that kobolds can only be injured but not killed, a large number of them would have been killed by now.

Seeing how fierce Karen was, the fourth-level gnolled man quickly commanded a large group of gnolled men to attack him, trying to win by outnumbering him.

But it did not affect Karen's sweeping victory at all.

After seeing this, Mathias couldn't resist the urge to rush into the battle.

As a sixth-level assassin, he used many skills of a thief, sneaking, releasing false clones, and various stun attacks, backstabs, and sprinting. He was like a deserted person and the ogres could hardly touch Mathias.

Varian didn't make a move, and neither did a dozen or so griffin riders, they just watched in the air.

Because many of the new soldiers were recruited from Moonbrook Town, many of them were rookies who had never been on the battlefield. The kobolds were so weak that it was just right for Varian to train the new recruits.

It doesn't matter if the soldiers are injured, there are six priests behind them.

After a while, more than two hundred dog-headed men fell to the ground. Some of them were not dead, but were injured.

While the large group of kobolds were engaged in a melee, Mathias sneaked up behind the fourth-level kobold leader and used a series of skills to stun and backstab him.

The ogre leader was suddenly attacked from behind. He had no time to react and was knocked unconscious. He was then beaten again and was knocked to the ground in a few hits.

He lay on the ground, raised his hands and shouted, "My lord, stop fighting, we surrender!"

When the nearby ogres heard this, they immediately stopped and raised their hands like the ogres leader.

They really don't want to fight anymore. The gap in strength is too big. It hasn't been long since the fight started and more than 200 of their brothers have already died in front of them, while not a single human soldier has fallen. How can they fight?

There is still a group of griffin knights in the sky who have not yet taken action.

After hearing the surrender of the kobold leader, Varian raised his hand and signaled the soldiers to stop attacking.
