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

As soon as he returned to Dagger Ridge, Varian received a message from his father, King Llane, asking him to go back for a meeting.

Meeting? Fortunately, this was not Sir Elgadin. He did not know what his father wanted to talk to him about, but it was not likely that he was going to fight in the war.

Then Varian cast a magic of time and space gate and returned to Stormwind City.

Ever since he went to Dagger Ridge to build a base, Varian didn't want to go back to Stormwind. After all, he had been in Stormwind for more than ten years and was too familiar with the place. Another reason was the magic guild in Dagger Ridge, where he could slowly improve his strength, which was something that Stormwind didn't have.

Varian even wanted to set up an office and restaurant in the Magic Guild so that he could hold meetings and eat in the Magic Guild.

Soon, Varian came to Ryan's office.

"Good day, father! I'm here." Varian greeted.

"Sit down." Ryan put down the documents in his hand and motioned Varian to sit down.

"I heard that you have expanded your seafood business to Ironforge?" Ryan asked.

"Yes, about three boatloads of seafood are brought in every day," said Varian.

"Did you sell twenty griffins to Ironforge?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." Varian nodded.

"You're great! Just these two items exceed the total annual trade volume of all goods between Stormwind and Ironforge. Very good." King Llane looked pleased.

"A little money, a little money."

"Okay, let's get down to business. The Kingdom of Lordaeron has sent invitations to the other six kingdoms for its five-year military exchange meeting, which will begin in the next few days. I want to see what you think." King Llane said.

"Father, don't you want to attend?" Varian asked.

"I personally don't like to participate. Our Storm Kingdom has always been self-sufficient, and we don't have much trade with other kingdoms. In recent years, the relationship has become increasingly distant. It would be a waste of time to go." King Ryan said.

Varian said, "Father, I have a different opinion. I think we should strengthen our relations with other kingdoms. We have many fishing boats now, and there will be more in the future. Strengthening trade can help us expand more sales channels for seafood."

"I can also sell griffins and ships."

There is another reason that Varian cannot tell. In the original work, after the Dark Portal was opened, the orcs invaded. Due to the bad relations with other kingdoms, Storm Kingdom had no one to help at the beginning, and could only fight alone.

Thinking of this, Varian said, "Father, let me go. I will take a look at the military exchange meeting and the process of the military parade. I will lead the troops of Dagger Ridge Fortress to participate."

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go ahead and show the style of the Storm Kingdom army."

"Don't worry, father. I will never bring shame to the Storm Kingdom."

Varian was very calm. When it came to military style, he was very confident that the army of Daggerridge Fortress was not inferior to the army of any human kingdom.

Halberd soldiers are stronger than human infantry. Sharpshooters are a type of soldier that no kingdom has now. Champion knights are much stronger than ordinary cavalry. Griffin knights, other kingdoms don't have air forces at all now.

However, as an invited country, they could only send a small parade team. Varian thought about it and decided to only send the Griffin Knights to participate in the parade.

After returning to Dagger Ridge, Varian called Karen and Gavinrad and asked them to get ready to go with him to attend the military exchange meeting in Lordaeron.

Then he asked Gavinrad to select a force of thirty men from the Griffin Knights to serve as the parade team.

After everything was ready, Varian asked the mage at the dock to summon a portal to Lordaeron.

This is because Varian has never been to Lordaeron, so the system cannot recognize Lordaeron as a friendly town, so he cannot use the time and space gate magic to go directly to Lordaeron, and can only use the portal.

Of course you can also go there by boat, but that will take more time.

After a while, Varian was the first to come out of the portal. He was already outside the city of Lordaeron, in Tirisfal Glades, with the city gate of Lordaeron not far away.

At this time, the Tirisfal Glades was not polluted. There was green grass everywhere, many flowers, birds singing, and the fragrance of flowers. The hills were covered with lush trees, stretching one after another.

There were rabbits and deer everywhere, but no dark dogs or nocturnal bats.

The gate of Lordaeron is also on a small hill, and there is a three-way fork in the road at the gate.

The architecture of Lordaeron is similar to that of Stormwind City. Both are medieval-style buildings, using large stones and wood as the main building materials. They look very solid and elegant.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron is a wealthy kingdom, and has close ties with other human kingdoms. Therefore, the road leading to the city of Lordaeron is bustling with merchants and travelers, and is as lively as the road between Stormwind City and Goldshire.

When the griffin riders came out of the portal one after another, they looked at the surrounding scenery with curiosity. It was their first time in Lordaeron.

Since the military exchange meeting was held tomorrow and there was still time, Varian decided not to rush to the capital of Lordaeron and instead wander around Lordaeron and take in the scenery first.

The city of Lordaeron has not yet been destroyed by the Scourge. The whole city looks very neat and spectacular, and its structural layout is better than that of Stormwind City.

Everything else in Stormwind is fine except the streets in the trade zone, which are planned rather chaotically. Some roads are quite narrow, and become crowded when there are many people.

This is also the reason why some players criticize it. Some players prefer Ironforge, especially the large square in front of the Ironforge Bank, because the road is chaotic and crowded.

In comparison, the roads in Lordaeron are wider and more comfortable to walk on.

Of course, in the original work, this beautiful city was later destroyed by the Scourge and turned into ruins. The undead dug a huge city under the ruins, which became the main city of the undead, Undercity.

While Varian was strolling around, he was also observing the shops in Lordaeron. He planned to rent a shop in Lordaeron and open a seafood restaurant after the military exchange meeting.

Now, the seafood in Lordaeron is mainly shipped from Southshore. There is not much, mainly because the seafood in Southshore is not only supplied to Lordaeron, but also to the Kingdom of Alterac and the Kingdom of Stromgarde (also known as the Kingdom of Stromgarde).

Precisely because there is not much seafood, the residents of Lordaeron usually eat more freshwater fish, mainly from the nearby Lake Lordamere, but the taste of freshwater fish is always inferior to that of marine fish.

In addition, the crabs from the Western Wilderness are of superior quality compared to those from other places, and we are not afraid of competition.

Therefore, if Varian sells seafood here, sales should not be a problem.
