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

The next morning, Varian, Gavinrad, Gryan Stoutmantle, Karen, Mathias and five others had breakfast in a private room in the castle's small restaurant.

Gavinrad, Gryan Stoutmantle, and Karen all changed into combat gear, wearing exquisite plate armor; Mathias wore assassin leather armor, with two daggers glowing blue hanging on his back, probably coated with poison.

Varian himself was wearing an exquisite silk mage robe, but his staff was still the old staff he brought from Stormwind City.

I'm still lacking a good staff weapon.

This was the meal before going into battle, so the dishes were quite rich, with common dishes and seafood from the western wilderness filling the table.

After eating a pork chop, Gryan Stoutmantle hung a map of the Dust Plains on the wall and said, "According to the scouts, the dire wolves have entered the center of the Dust Plains from the edge, close to the fork in the road."

Varian, Gavinrad, and Gryan Stoutmantle have all fought against the gnolls in the Dust Plains and are familiar with the Crossing. Now the focus is on explaining it to Karen and Mathias.

Gavinrad said: "We should fight before the dire wolves reach the fork in the road and try not to affect road traffic."

"Yes, so we need to set off as soon as possible." Gryan Stoutmantle said, looking at Varian.

Varian thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's good. Let's set off right after breakfast. Gryan Stoutmantle will lead the halberdiers and crusaders, Gavinrad will lead the archers and priests, Karen will lead the griffins and griffon knights, Mathias will lead the champion knights, and I will be responsible for magic assistance and magic output. Is there any problem?"

Everyone said in unison: "No problem."

Varian was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "You can enter the battlefield to kill the enemy only when you are sure there will be no chaos. Don't let the soldiers be leaderless and attack randomly. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Then a few people left the castle. After a while, all the troops of Dagger Ridge had assembled. They had strict military discipline and were awe-inspiring. In the morning light, there was a solemn atmosphere.

There were five royal griffins, already waiting in front of the team.

Varian, Gavinrad, Gryan Stoutmantle, Karen, and Mathias each jumped onto a royal griffin.

This was a special arrangement made by Varian. In the future, if his generals go out to fight together, each of them will be equipped with a royal griffin. This will make it easier for him to command the army and hunt down enemy leaders.

The griffins of several people flew up, three meters above the ground. Everyone below stared at Varian, waiting for his instructions.

Varian knew that he should make some pre-war mobilization at this moment, but his throat was knotted and he couldn't say anything, so he turned his head to look at Karen on the side and said, "Karen, you say a few words."

After hearing this, Karen patted the griffin, and the griffin flew forward half a meter.

He said passionately:

"Warriors of Dagger Ridge, we have once again gathered on this smooth grassland. Today we are about to face the dire wolves from the Dawn Forest. They are ferocious and cunning. They rashly entered the Dust Plains and killed our compatriots.

But today, our brave and fearless army is about to take action, and their doom is approaching!

We are the protectors of the western wilderness and the solid shield that guards peace. Our hard training is for this moment, to defend our people and freedom.

The invasion of dire wolves has trampled on our farms, killed innocent people, and destroyed our lives. We must use the sword in our hands to protect our people and our land.

Soldiers, we carry the hopes of tens of thousands of people in Yuexi Town. Countless people are watching us, supporting us, and trusting us from behind. We are not fighting alone!

I hope that you will not be afraid or retreat when facing the dire wolves, and that you will have the courage and faith to fight the dire wolves to the end at all times.

Dire wolves may be ferocious, but all dire wolves are paper tigers. We must have an indomitable momentum and use our courage and faith to defeat them.

At this moment, let us raise our weapons, shout loudly, and declare war on the dire wolves! For glory, for our homeland, for Moonbrook, for the West Wilderness, for the Storm Kingdom - Charge! We will surely return victorious! Victory will surely belong to us! "

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

The morale of the army below was instantly ignited, and the deafening shouts resounded throughout the entire Dagger Ridge. Looking at the high morale of the troops, Varian couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Karen, saying that he was indeed the son of Sir Lothar and had the potential to lead the army.

Then the large army began to march out of Dagger Ridge in an orderly manner and headed towards the Dust Plain.

At this time, in the dust plain, a silver-white dire wolf stood on a small hill, overlooking the plain below.

Behind it were dozens of gray dire wolves.

If you look closely, you will find that this silver-white dire wolf is a size larger than the other dire wolves, and it is the only one that is silver-white, while the other dire wolves are gray.

His leg seemed to be injured and he walked with a limp, but this did not prevent him from becoming the leader of the dire wolves.

"Lord Rubers, you are right. The Bloodtusk Boars in the Dust Plains are indeed big and numerous. The prey we caught in half a day is more than what we caught in a day in the Dawn Forest before." A gray dire wolf in the back said respectfully to the silver-white dire wolf.

The silver-white dire wolf Rubers is their leader, with the strength of level seven. What's especially different from other dire wolves is that Rubers can use shadow damage attacks and ignore physical defense, which is very rare among dire wolves.

Rubes said, "I've known for a long time that there are a lot of wild boars here, but I didn't bring you here because I didn't want to compete with the River Claw gnolls for territory."

"Where are the River Claw Gnolls? We rarely see them along the way." asked the Gray Dire Wolf.

"Could it be that they were wiped out by the humans in Yuexi Town?" said another gray dire wolf.

"It shouldn't be. As far as I know, there are only dozens of security guards in Moonbrook Town. It's impossible for them to wipe out hundreds of Riverclaw jackals. They may have migrated to other places." Rubes said.

A gray dire wolf said, "Then this is our territory from now on! Such a good place, with so many wild boars, we finally don't have to eat those disgusting spiders in the Dawn Forest."

Another gray dire wolf said, "There are human farms here. What if humans come to attack?"

Rubes said, "We have more than a thousand adult warriors in our tribe. The dozens of security guards in Moon Creek Town can never be our opponents. If humans dare to attack, we will bite them to death and eat them."

"That's right, bite them to death and eat them!"

Rubes was very satisfied when he saw the high morale of the wolves. How could a mere few dozen human soldiers be a match for such a powerful team of dire wolves?

The Dire Wolves are not afraid even if there are hundreds of soldiers. The Dust Plains will be the Dire Wolves' territory from now on!
