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

"I feel relieved with the words of the great craftsman! I will go look for a suitable shop in the next few days." Varian said excitedly.

The purpose of coming to Gnomeregan was about to be achieved, which was to open a seafood store. Varian was very excited and drank happily. It was a very pleasant night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Varian and his party came to the Gnomeregan machine display area.

The exhibition area is very large, much larger than an average gymnasium.

As soon as I came here, I was stunned by the various machines here.

The huge exhibition area is filled with various machines, including small airplanes, siege tanks, walking tanks, mechanical chocobos, and repair robots.

Not only Varian and his companions, but also Danas, who had arrived earlier, was shocked by these machines.

At this time, the master craftsman also arrived.

"Now that everyone is here, let me introduce the products to you!" said Mekkatorque.

"Ok."

"First, let me introduce this steam tank to you. This is a siege tank I designed for the dwarves. It has basically taken shape and is very sturdy. It can be called a mobile bunker and has strong ability to pass through complex terrain."

"Not only does the siege tank have an attack capability comparable to that of a mortar, it can also launch a barrage attack to attack air units. It can launch up to nine missiles at a time to attack nine air targets."

"This one is designed for dwarves. If humans need it, it can be customized. We can also make one with a larger space."

Just as Mekkatorque finished speaking, Brian said, "Is this the sample designed for our Ironforge? It was completed so quickly? Let me try it."

Under Mekkatorque's guidance, Brian drove the steam tank around the square twice.

Judging from Brian's happy expression, he was very satisfied with this steam tank.

Varian knew that this tank was very good, but he couldn't use it at this moment. First, he didn't need to attack the city yet, and second, there weren't many air units now, so he didn't really need the tank's barrage attack.

Of course I will consider buying some in the future.

After introducing the tank, the few people came to a small plane.

Mekkatorque said: "This is my latest bomber! It flies faster than ordinary aircraft, and can carry a large amount of ammunition. It also has anti-aircraft machine guns. It can be said to be a powerful weapon!"

Varian looked at the plane with a long wing on top and several bombs hanging on the bottom. It looked a bit like a single-person plane from World War I and he was interested.

Dropping bombs directly from the air to the ground is equivalent to a flying turret, and its output capability is stronger than that of the Griffin Knight.

Varian asked, "How much does this bomber cost?"

Mekkatorque said, "Five thousand gold coins per plane! Not including ammunition! The price of ammunition is calculated separately."

Varian thought the price was reasonable and he could consider buying a few for fun. He had his own ammunition, which was similar to the ammunition for mortars and could be used after a slight modification.

There is no rush to decide now, I need to look at other products.

Next, Mekkatorque introduced the Mechanostrider, a mechanical mount. The Mechanostrider looked almost the same as the Chocobo, but its body shape was designed to be more suitable for the dwarfs, so there was no need for humans to use this.

Next, Mekkatorque introduced the walking tank.

The walking tank is like a four-legged spider with room for one person and a machine gun in the front.

Not bad, the machine gun's output is stronger than the marksman.

Danas asked, "How much does a walking tank cost?"

Mekkatorque said, "A walking tank costs three thousand gold coins."

After hearing this, Varian felt that it was a bit expensive. Three thousand gold coins could buy more than ten sharpshooters, and sharpshooters could be treated or even resurrected if they were injured. However, it would be difficult to repair this walking tank if it broke down, so he gave up the idea of ​​buying it.

Mekkatorque introduced another machine called Spellbinder, a robot that was immune to magical attacks and priced it at five thousand gold coins, but Varian didn't consider it.

Suddenly Varian saw a familiar machine. It was a large walking tank, but its weapon was not a machine gun, but something like an electromagnetic gun.

Seeing that Varian was interested in the machine, Mekkatorque introduced it: "This is the latest invention, called the Electrocutioner Model 6000. It requires a soldier to operate it, and has multiple skills, such as Static Arc, which is similar to Chain Lightning and can send out lightning shocks to strike multiple enemies at the same time; and Magnetic Pulse, which can send out pulse damage and can pull enemies closer."

Varian knew about the Electrocutioner Type 6000. In previous games, Gnomeregan existed as a dungeon, and there was a boss who was a dwarf driving the Electrocutioner Type 6000. It seemed to be the second or third boss.

This machine is quite powerful.

"How much does this electric torture device model 6000 cost?" Varian said.

"Not expensive, 6000 gold coins per unit." Mekkatorque said.

"More expensive than a bomber?" Varian was secretly shocked when he heard the price.

"Of course. The main reason is that this weapon system is expensive. Bombers are used to drop bombs. The electromagnetic damage and pulse damage are completely different." Mekkatorque said.

Varian thought about it and decided that he could buy some bombers and some Type 6000 electroshock machines, but there was no need for the others for the time being.

He asked, "Master Craftsman, do you need a griffin? My griffins are also sold for 5000 gold coins each. Can I exchange them for a bomber?"

The master craftsman did not answer immediately. He fell into thought and paced back and forth.

The bomber is a pure war machine. Its attack power is greater than that of the griffin, but the bomber has no consciousness.

Griffins can be used as mounts, and mages can cast spells while sitting on them, but this is not the case with airplanes. Mages cannot operate an airplane and cast spells at the same time.

It can be said that each has its pros and cons, which is why Varian wants to buy bombers.

After a while, Mekkatorque said, "I agree! How many planes do you want to change?"

Varian said, "I brought twenty Griffins with me. I want to exchange them for fourteen aircraft and five Electro-Torture 6000s."

"Okay, it's settled!" said Mekkatorque.

Mekkatorque is not at a loss. There are many mages among the dwarves. What mages need are griffins instead of planes. It costs five thousand gold coins to buy a griffin, but if you exchange it for a plane, the cost of the plane is only two or three thousand, which is still very cost-effective.

Varian felt that he had made a great deal, as long as he could exchange it for a griffin.

He forced himself to suppress his inner excitement and pretended nothing had happened.

In fact, his heart was already blossoming with joy.
