After the fall of Hellfire Citadel, the Crusader army obtained a large number of Orc prisoners. The underage Orcs were all sent to Nagrand's vast prairies, hoping that through Gaeaan's teachings, they could rediscover the traditions of the Orcs and become Orcs filled with a sense of honor.
As for the other Orcs, sorry, the Crusader army needed a large number of strong laborers to mine in the quarries of Gorgrond, Talador Jungle, Spires of Arak, and Shadowmoon Valley.
As for the old and weak Orcs?
Galen didn't see a single one!
Gul'dan began his conquest of the Draenei ten years ago. At that time, Draenor's vitality was declining under the pollution of fel energy, and food production was severely reduced. Later, the Horde fought wars everywhere, and the old and weak Orcs had long been eliminated.
Apart from the basic garrison forces in each region's mines, Galen left behind the First to Fifth Legions. At the same time, he also transferred four of the Five Color Legions, leaving only the Raging Tide Legion as the main force to grind experience.
Medivh was appointed as the supreme commander of the Draenor Crusaders, with Khadgar as his deputy, assisting the Draenor Allied Forces in resisting the demons on Kil'jaeden's Throne.
In the following years, the demons and the Draenor Allied Forces engaged in a prolonged war of attrition in the Talador Jungle. At the most critical moment, the demonic army once reached the mountain pass at the junction of Talador and Tanaan Jungle.
In the end, relying on the dozen or so high-level Arakkoa Empire's focusing light prism towers deployed on the peaks of the mountains, they stabilized their position. Then, under Medivh's command, the Crusader naval fleet fired thousands of cannons, forcing the demon continent back to Hellfire Citadel.
As for Tanaan Jungle, after the opening of the Dark Portal, it was absorbed a large amount of life force. Due to the existence of Kil'jaeden's Throne, it suffered fel energy pollution. Finally, it was used as a battlefield for the demons and the Draenor Allied Forces. After several disasters, all vitality was lost. Except for Farahlon Valley, no vegetation could be seen.
Tanaan Jungle was forcibly transformed into a barren Hellfire Peninsula!
The overlord Khazak also attempted to send small groups of troops to break through to other areas, trying to secretly open portals and harass Galen's rear. Unfortunately, Galen and Velen had long anticipated this move.
In addition to the Ashtongue Deathsworn forming a secret service, the high-level Arakkoa formed an elite Wing Talons assassin squad. The Orcs of Nagrand also formed a patrol team led by Yorin Deadeye and Galen. The Ogres of Gorgrond took turns patrolling under the leadership of the Seven Sons of Gruul. The enemy and our sides, on the land of Draenor, in addition to the frontal legion confrontation, also carried out one infiltration and counter-infiltration after another.
However, at this time, Galen had already run away with the Firestone Ring supplemented by Medivh, acting as a hands-off shopkeeper. Since Medivh and his apprentice were appointed as commanders, shouldn't the commander take the lead!
At this time, Galen was leading thirty destroyers, departing from the Spires of Arak, heading north all the way to the legendary Farahlon Plains.
It is said that it is the birthplace of the primal thorn beasts, and also the original home of the Laughing Skull Clan. Later, unable to resist the harassment of the thorn beasts and the Wood Elves, they chose to cross south to Gorgrond.
Galen also obtained some information about the Farahlon Plains from Gaeaan, the Orc elder. After the Horde broke through Shattrath City, the Twilight's Hammer and the Warsong Clan were responsible for attacking Highmaul, the Shattered Hand Clan was responsible for attacking the Arakkoa, and the Thunderlord Clan and the Frostwolf Clan were responsible for the northern Gronn. Kilrogg led the clan through all kinds of hardships to Farahlon. The Orc warlocks constantly absorbed the vitality of the local primal beasts. In the end, the Orc army killed all the Wood Elves and primal thorn beasts they could find in the firelight.
Regardless of what the real Farahlon Plains is like, Galen will only feel at ease after taking a look.
On the swaying warship, Galen had the opportunity to take stock of the progress of the Origin Heart's training over the past year and the spoils he had obtained on the planet Draenor.
Currently, apart from the Hellfire Peninsula being used as a battlefield, the areas fully controlled by the Crusader army are Shadowmoon Valley, Spires of Arak, Gorgrond, and Talador. The Nagrand prairie is co-governed with the Orcs.
Half of Zangar Sea is still part of the ocean. The existence of the five major lakes of Marshlight Lake, Lagoon Lake, Darktide Lake, Oreonah Lake, and Central Lake makes the terrain of the swamp intricate and complex, which Galen really doesn't like.
Frostfire Ridge was destroyed by a fire elemental riot more than a decade ago, and underground magma submerged half of the area. The shamans of the Holy Light Sect are appeasing the rioting elements, and it is expected that it will take at least ten years to rebuild this area.
In addition to the territory, he also harvested the Arakkoa, Tigron, Gronn, and Ogre races as vassals, as well as a large number of Orc miners.
However, the importance of these hundreds of thousands of vassal population is not as important as the near-extinct Draenei race. What they bring to Galen is experience in fighting the Burning Legion, and technology!
Oh, and a Velen is included as a bonus!
However, even so, Galen established quite a few Draenor sub-bases.
In addition to the military-purpose fortresses of the Eagle Watch and Honor Hold in Hellfire Peninsula, and the Ashran Fortress on the eastern island, there are a total of seventeen bases in other areas as mining points and supply points!
It can be said that the number of town halls built in Draenor alone is two more than in Azeroth.
And Draenor, as a training ground set by Galen, has as many as forty barracks, twenty arcane sanctums, ten workshops, and ten gryphon aviaries!
In order to cope with the future war and break through to the demigod rank as soon as possible, Galen never thought of developing sustainable development in Draenor anyway, and was fully exploiting resources with the intention of hollowing out Draenor.
In this way, adding up all the sub-bases in Azeroth and Draenor, 38 halls can increase 330,000 farmers every year, 34 barracks train 200,000 heavy infantry and musketeers every year, and the remaining 35 barracks fully train high-level knights, which can produce 8,500 knights a year.
Among the remaining buildings, there are 19 gryphon aviaries, training 4,620 gryphon knights a year, and forty arcane sanctums, training 7,000 wizards and priests each year.
Finally, adding a Tree of Life, a Tree of Eternity, and an Orc kennel, Galen used his poor mental arithmetic ability to silently estimate that the Origin Heart's units can increase by more than 570,000 a year!
Such a quantity is quite considerable!
Now it is March of the seventh year of the Dark Portal in Azeroth. Galen already has more than 1.4 million Origin Heart units, and now Galen's strength is at the legendary high level. According to his estimation, when the total population reaches five million, demigod status can be expected.
Five million people, at this rate, we have to wait six years.
When there is hope for the days, how will these six years pass!
Next up was the lottery. This trip to Draenor was mostly about using force to pressure people. The Mag'har orcs, Draenei, Gronn, and Ogres from Blade's Edge Mountains basically united peacefully. Only the Ogres from Highmaul, the Black Dragonflight, and the Shadowmoon Clan were conquered by force. Including the great battle at Hellfire Citadel, there were a total of eleven major battles recognized by the Heart of Origin, granting lottery chances.
Eleven consecutive draws, not bad.
After all, fighting alongside the Horde led by Orgrim in Azeroth for two years only resulted in twenty-three chances. Galen was quite content.
"Begin the lottery!"
Icons of treasures flew across Galen's eyes, but his heart remained calm. Now that he had the orange ring, he desired nothing.
An icon of Claws of Attack zoomed in, indicating the first treasure. Although Galen appeared calm on the surface, he was actually cursing inwardly. How could the Heart of Origin offer such low-tier equipment as a lottery prize? It's a waste of space!
Claws of Attack +15.
Good stuff! Galen's eyes widened instantly, almost exceeding human limits!
Galen had seen Claws of Attack +3 and Claws of Attack +6 many times, but this was the first time he had seen the almost top-tier +15. This treasure should be a level 7 item in the system, with only level 8 being the maximum.
Come on!
Give me nine Rings of Protection +5!
Subsequently, the remaining ten treasures appeared one by one, and this time Galen was not disappointed. In addition to the level 7 Claws of Attack +15, there was also the level 8 equipment Death Mask!
Death Mask: "When equipping this mask, 50% of the damage dealt to enemies is converted into your own health!"
Simply put, it's 50% life steal.
Well, as long as I attack fast enough and hit every time, I'll be immortal.
However, wearing this mask would cause the fireballs Galen purchased from the Arcane Vault to lose their fire damage!
What a pity. Galen's fighting style was very aggressive, unless he fully committed to the Blade Master Samuro's fighting style.
Fortunately, he already had another Tier 8 equipment, the Crown, which was the most suitable treasure for him. However, this Death Mask could be used by Alleria.
Among the remaining treasures were a Orb of Frost and an Ancient Tree!
Ancient of War: Can train Night Elf Archers, Huntresses, and Glaive Throwers.
Orb of Frost: Tier 7 item, grants +6 attack to the wielder. Melee heroes become ranged attackers when attacking air units. Attacking with the Orb of Frost reduces the target's movement and attack speed for 3 seconds.
Corresponding to the Orb of Frost was the Orb of Kil'jaeden, later possessed by Illidan, which also increased attack power by 6 points, slightly stronger than the Orb of Fire.
Well, the Orb of Frost and the Orb of Kil'jaeden perfectly formed a Song of Ice and Fire.
In addition to the newly acquired Orb of Frost, Galen already had the Orb of Fire and the Orb of Lightning obtained from the previous lottery, as well as the Orb of Shadows obtained from the Tomb of Sargeras.
Galen only equipped the Orb of Shadows, which was the most suitable for him, while the others were still in his backpack.
Apart from these, the rest were some low-tier magic items that Galen didn't care about. Later, he would integrate them and distribute them to the legion commanders below.
As for the Ancient of War, the basic barracks for the Night Elf base, Galen stored it away, placing it together with the Ancient of Lore obtained from the previous lottery.
After finishing the inventory of last year's gains, Galen walked out of the cabin.
Unfortunately, Galen didn't find the Breath of Krumar he had been longing for. According to the records of the High Arakkoa, the weapon was destroyed during the civil war between the Sunsworn Arakkoa and the Anzu Arakkoa, blowing up the then-Arak Summit. Based on this information, Galen had arranged for High Priest Aerix to excavate at the site of the former Arak Summit, trying to find the wreckage of this powerful weapon.
As soon as Galen came out of the captain's room, he saw Alleria gazing into the distance on the deck. She was wearing a tight-fitting green leather armor that outlined her graceful figure.
Galen walked over and stood beside Alleria at the ship's rail. As his strength grew, he was able to better control his body's muscles, and the slight rocking of the ship caused by the waves could be ignored.
Alleria sensed someone coming beside her and looked over in surprise. After realizing it was Galen, she sighed at how much stronger this man had become. It was clear that she was much stronger than him when they first met, but she never thought that he would leave her behind in just three years.
She moved one step to the left, took Galen's right arm, and leaned her whole body against him, her head resting gently on Galen's shoulder.
Well, Galen had grown taller again. Powerful strength would affect the changes in the body. The body was like a container for energy. The stronger the energy, the larger the size.
The most obvious examples were the former three giants of Argus, Velen, Kil'jaeden, and Archimonde. When they were in charge of Argus, the three of them were of similar size. Later, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden accepted Sargeras's gift, and their strength greatly increased after being infused with fel energy, and their figures became tens of meters tall, while Velen was still a demigod, at most three meters!
"Are you done?"
Alleria said softly, lowering her head slightly, her face a little red, but she still didn't let go of Galen's hand.
"Yeah."
Galen felt Alleria's soft body and the faint fragrance emanating from her hair, and was surprised by Alleria's initiative.
It could only be said that she was worthy of being a Windrunner family woman, and they all liked to take the initiative in their relationships.
"By the way, Alleria, I'll give you this treasure." Galen took out the Death Mask he had just obtained.
"This is a mask? But it's so ugly!" Alleria looked at the blue-faced, fanged mask. Although she knew that the things Galen gave her must be precious treasures, she still expressed her true inner evaluation.
Galen was speechless. He only considered the powerful ability of the Death Mask and selectively forgot Alleria's aesthetics as a high elf. He should have asked the blacksmith to modify the mask, just like the crown he had equipped before, which the blacksmith had changed to the appearance of the Grand Marshal's set head.
Galen called this set of processes: Transmogrification.
"Then I'll wait for me to modify it and make it look better before giving it to you."
"Okay!"
Galen then told the female elf in detail about the powerful ability of this mask. Alleria's beautiful eyes widened after listening.
She thought the same as Galen, that this treasure could increase her combat time.
"It's still too ugly, Galen, please modify it!"
The powerful function still didn't change Alleria's aesthetics, and Galen could only silently take the Death Mask back.
"After this voyage ends, we'll be going back to Azeroth, right?"
"Right?"
After Alleria finished speaking, both of them fell into silence.
"Have you figured out how to explain our relationship to my sister?"
"… …"
Galen could only say that silence was the Cambridge of tonight.
Alleria grew anxious and couldn't help but pinch Galen's waist with two fingers.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
When there was no fighting, Galen didn't wear armor. Who would wear heavy equipment all day long for no reason? It was not only uncomfortable but also tiring!
Galen quickly removed Alleria's hand, then rubbed the soft flesh on his waist while complaining, "Truly worthy of being sisters, even the technique is exactly the same."
"Hmph!"
Alleria looked at Galen's expression of drawing in cold breaths, snorted coldly, and then regretted it a little, reaching out to help him rub the spot she had just pinched.
She rubbed while complaining, "It's all your fault for provoking us sisters. It won't be easy to get away with wanting both me and Sylvanas to marry you."
Then Alleria had a sudden realization: "Galen, you've been doing this on purpose all along, haven't you? From the moment Sylvanas and I came to Lordaeron to fulfill the alliance, you've been leading us sisters in battle, from guarding the Thandol Span to the Hillsbrad Foothills defense, and then all the way through the Hinterlands to rescue Quel'Thalas!"
Galen looked innocent: "I was just assigned by Marshal Lothar to be a guide for your Farstrider unit. Perhaps Marshal Lothar thought I was the prince of Stromgarde and didn't want me on the front lines of battle, so he had me stay with you ranged units?"
Galen wouldn't tell Alleria that the reason he had secretly asked Kael'thas to change Sylvanas' orders to the Thandol Span front line was because he was a fan of the Banshee Queen when he first learned that Sylvanas would also be sent to fight!
Heaven and earth bear witness, Galen really didn't have the intention of flirting at that time, and he wouldn't flirt with Sylvanas either. That would be too difficult!
It's just that Galen didn't expect what would happen later. He and Sylvanas would cherish each other in their daily interactions and develop feelings for each other!
What he didn't expect even more was that he had been asked by Sylvanas to rescue Alleria, and he had accidentally over-rescued her, saving her dormant heart too!
To be honest, Galen was a little cocky about being favored by the Windrunner sisters, but as for the ensuing Shura field…
Alas!
What can I do? I didn't expect to be favored by two Windrunners at once.
"Alleria, I will take responsibility for this matter."
Galen promised.
He also knew how difficult this matter was. How could someone as proud as Sylvanas accept sharing a husband with someone else?
"Mm."
Alleria also knew that she was in the wrong. She knew her sister, with whom she had spent hundreds of years, too well, but she didn't have a good solution either.
Galen himself was completely clueless about matters of the heart. He stammered when confessing to Sylvanas in the first place. He couldn't even handle basic problems, so how could he be expected to face an epic-level difficulty all of a sudden?
At this moment, cheers came from the ship!
"Look, there's land ahead!"
"We've arrived!"
The Farahlon Plains were a vast overseas island, almost the size of the Hellfire Peninsula, roughly equivalent to the area of a province.
From afar, Galen could see the flat terrain on the mainland from the ship, with almost no mountains!
No wonder it was called the Farahlon Plains, it was truly unobstructed!
The fleet sailed along the coastline, and after finally finding a bay, Galen ordered them to dock and disembark.
The Gale Legion followed Galen on this voyage. This legion had now become Alleria's unique legion.
In addition to the Gale Legion, there were also a group of goblins and gnomes as crew members. After all, the Gale Legion only knew how to fight and kill people. They only knew some skills related to military life, and they really didn't know how to sail.
After the Gale Legion landed, they began to set up camp, while Galen led the advance team to scatter and scout the road to explore the map.
This was the first time Galen had seen such great terrain. Azeroth was mountainous, and basically every piece of land inhabited by intelligent creatures was surrounded by mountains, dividing the areas into separate regions.
In these Farahlon Plains, Galen looked around and only found a small mountain, let's call it a mountain for now, with an altitude of only two hundred meters.
Moreover, many plants along the way had withered due to loss of vitality, looking even more barren than the Barrens that Galen saw for the first time.
Galen sensed a faint life force, and following the sense, he finally found the corpse of an Ancient Tree in a withered dense forest. When it was alive, it was at least seven or eight meters tall, and its outer skin was as strong and thick as a thousand-year-old tree, and its right hand still held a thick wooden spear.
Seeing that it was getting late, Galen summoned the soldiers who were scouting around to carry the huge corpse back to the camp.
This Ancient Tree was different from the Ancient Tree cultivated by the Wood Elves from the ponds. Those artificially created ones only retained the memories and will of their dead ancestors, and in Galen's careful notification, he realized that the corpse of this Ancient Tree was a demigod body, which meant that it was the first generation of Ancient Trees!
As far as Galen knew, Aggramar created Gorgrond to divide and conquer the ever-growing spore plants, preventing them from overgrowing and draining the planet.
Gorgrond dug out the oceans, carved out valleys, and shaped mountains to separate the lush spore life. The threatened spores finally chose to merge and evolved into three spore giants, two of whom perished with Gorgrond, and their corpses formed Zangarmarsh and Tanaan Jungle.
And the last spore giant was killed by Gorgrond's descendants. When he died, a large piece of corpse fragments fell into the sea and finally formed the vibrant Farahlon Plains.
The Ancient Thorny Beast was the strongest descendant born from the reaction of the spore giant's corpse and plants. It looked like a half-human mammoth. They were once the scourge of Draenor and also the first species to become extinct after Draenor's vitality declined.
"Galen, what kind of creature's corpse is this?"
Alleria looked at the huge Ancient Thorny Beast that Galen had placed in the center of the camp and came forward to ask.
"This is the demigod body of an Ancient Tree, a kind of plant life form."
"Demigod?"
Alleria looked surprised, and then she tried to touch the leg of the Ancient Thorny Beast, and a rough feeling like tree bark came from between her fingers.
"What a huge life force!"
Galen had long felt that the life force in this plant demigod's body was slowly increasing.
"Actually, it's not completely dead!"
"Huh?"
"Simply put, it's like a dead tree coming back to life."
"A withered tree in spring?"
Alleria asked, puzzled. She wasn't particularly familiar with the characteristics of demigods, especially plant-based ones.
"Yes."
Galen affirmed his statement. In recent years, his strength had grown without him needing to rack his brains for breakthroughs. He only needed to farm diligently and focus on the development of the Origin Heart. Therefore, besides fighting, he spent his spare time reading magical texts, maxing out his theoretical knowledge.
"Draenor, influenced by fel energy, is like a person terminally ill. The surface plants are the first to suffer, and these plant demigods, because of the vast energy within them, held on until the very end. Our arrival has allowed Draenor to revive. This Primal Tree, whose flame of life is about to be extinguished, has begun to absorb life force from the outside world on its own. Give it some time, and it may very well recover!"
Galen combined some energy theories and his understanding of demigods to arrive at this conclusion.
In fact, the most likely place for the Primal Thorn Beast to appear was Gorgrond, but the Crusader and Black Dragon Legion had a great battle there. Deathwing recklessly unleashed his power during the battle, turning northern Gorgrond upside down, with lava erupting. Even if those Primal Thorn Beasts had hope of revival, their corpses would have been swallowed by flames.
Of course, it wasn't without benefits. Those destroyed areas all belonged to the Blackrock clan's original territory, and they contained Draenor's special ore: Blackrock Ore.
It was said to be formed from the corpses of Gorgrond descendants after their death, so it was very special. Orgrim's family heirloom, the Doomhammer, was cast from Blackrock Ore.
Deathwing turned all these precious mineral deposits out, turning them into open-pit mines, greatly reducing the workload for the miners.
Selling this to Azeroth, Galen could make another killing.
"This sub-continent should have more than just this one Primal Tree. After we rest for a night, we'll continue exploring this island tomorrow."
"Okay."
Alleria nodded, without much objection. Afterward, they had dinner and rested, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
However, Galen, who originally thought the night would be peaceful, was attacked in the middle of the night!
A demon army launched a night raid on Galen's camp!
But for Galen, who was used to placing sentries, guard posts had already spread around the entire camp, so the demon army was discovered the moment they appeared.
The demons delivered a free wave of experience. Galen had his wizards perform soul interrogation on the demon prisoners, and finally learned that the traitor, High Warlock Socrethar, was stationed in Farahlon!
After this former governor of Shattrath City betrayed the draenei and embraced the Burning Legion, Kil'jaeden, perhaps to win hearts and minds, placed him in a high position, alongside Kazzak, as high-ranking commanders, jointly monitoring the orcs' movements.
Galen was wondering why he wasn't squatting in Socrethar's Rise in Shadowmoon Valley, urging Ner'zhul's actions, and instead ran to Farahlon?
The scouts brought back intelligence that the demons' forge camp was located in the center of the island, with a population of about fifty thousand.
This could be considered a large Burning Legion camp. Adding the more than ten thousand dark draenei and succubus troops previously under Socrethar, it was clear that his position was quite high.
But since he had come, he had to give him a show, otherwise, he would be too sorry for Galen's vengeful nature.
Farahlon, a plain, a plain, what kind of troops are most suitable for combat?
Cavalry!
Large-scale cavalry!
Unfortunately, Galen had such a heavy cavalry unit!
Currently, Galen had 18,000 high-ranking knights under his command. After Galen sneaked into a small basin not far from the demon camp, he teleported all 15,000 high-ranking knights, except for Callan'kal's Knights, over.
When Galen was exploring Farahlon yesterday, he was thinking that such a good piece of land, if it were restored to life, would be a natural pasture!
Today, Galen planned to let the knights test the waters first. In the future, this would become the Crusader's livestock base!
Arathi Highlands warhorses, Elwynn Forest horses, Alterac mountain horses, Quel'Thalas unicorns, Khaz Modan mountain goats, Nagrand elekks, talbuks, Kalimdor kodos, thunder lizards, all could be bred here to create excellent breeds.
Hmm, Draenor's wild wilderness area.
The team composed of 15,000 high-ranking knights and 700 paladins did not arrange any special formations, just a large square formation a hundred people wide. Galen held the Thunderfury in his right hand, and the knights also held their lances with triangular battle flags hanging on them diagonally. Galen started from the first knight in the front row, and successively collided with their knight's lances with Thunderfury!
When Galen completed the weapon collision with the last knight, Galen took a deep breath: "Brothers of the Crusader! Today! Is a good day to charge!"
"Listen to my orders! Target northwest, full army charge!"
The high-ranking knights began to drive their warhorses forward slowly. The warhorses' four hooves ran in small steps. After a simple warm-up, the pace began to accelerate.
Draenor's sun rose on the right side of the high-ranking knight formation, and the knights charging like a tide, dressed in silver-red armor, reflected the morning light, illuminating this piece of heaven and earth.
The earth was shaking, and the demons in the distant demon camp began to be alert. At first, they thought that the demons who had gone out in the middle of the night had returned, but as the movement became louder and louder, even Socrethar, who was still resting, was alarmed!
"Everyone be on guard, fel cannons prepare to activate!"
As a traitor, Socrethar had suffered countless attacks from draenei assassins and Broken from Velen's hand over the years, and his alertness was very strong. He immediately issued an order when he found something was wrong.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
The high-ranking knights had already appeared in their field of vision!
"Everyone! Raise your spears!"
Whoosh!
Fifteen thousand high-ranking knights raised their knight lances upwards, with the shafts tucked under their armpits.
The spear tips made of level four forging technology shone with a silver-white cold light, and Galen believed that those bare-chested demon guards and wrathguards could not withstand a single blow from the lance!
"Paladins! Activate Crusader Aura!"
Swish!
With Galen's order, the speed of the knight's large force instantly increased!
The drag race began!
Socrethar in the demon camp looked terrified. As Galen and the others approached, the vibration of the earth became more and more intense, and this neat large-scale knight charge was too shocking, and for a time, Socrethar was actually startled!
"Quick! Stop them!"
"Idiots! Fire the fel cannons quickly!"
"Fire! Fire!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The fel cannons in the demon camp began to fire, and terrifying fel shells exploded in the ranks of the high-ranking knights. Fortunately, after the high-ranking knights accelerated their charge, the distance between them widened, and the formation was not so dense!
The shells of a hundred fel cannons hit hundreds of charging high-ranking knights. Galen could only pray that their armor was hard enough, and that their bodies would not be trampled into meat paste by their comrades after the battle!
Bang!
The demon army that rushed out of the camp collided head-on with Galen's vanguard. Even though the demons were strong and generally taller than humans, the warhorses of the high-ranking knights were more than two meters tall when they stood up. The impact of the man and horse directly knocked the demon guards into the air, and the demon army fell into chaos for a time!
To be honest, this was the first time since Galen developed the Origin Heart that he had launched such a large-scale operation. Although there had been melees of more than ten legions before, the scene of that battle was far from comparable to this group charge of more than ten thousand high-ranking knights!
These fifteen thousand heavy cavalrymen spread out in formation and galloped at high speed across the plains. The overwhelming momentum was like Mount Tai pressing down, a tsunami surging!
Only after facing it personally would one know that it had nothing to do with courage. No matter how strong the Burning Legion's demons were, they would still be killed in battle, and their individual strength was not necessarily stronger than that of the high-ranking knights!
The knights used their lances to pierce the bodies of the demons as their warhorses galloped. When the lances were full of enemies, they drew their spare broadswords and continued to ride and slash, using the mobility and impact of the warhorses to constantly kill!
Galen had tried to practice long-handled weapons, but eventually found that he was still proficient in swordsmanship. He firmly grasped the reins of the warhorse with his left hand, and his right hand held the one-handed sword he was using for the first time: Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker!
Silver-white lightning flashed on the Windseeker. Galen skillfully used it to cast Crusader Strike, Blade of Justice, and Judgment to kill the surrounding demons.
Several hellhounds set their sights on Galen, and they tried to attack Galen's warhorse!
"Divine Storm!"
Galen released a powerful whirlwind of holy energy from his body, directly burning these hellhounds, which were nearly a meter tall, to ashes!
The knights quickly pierced through the demons' ranks and rushed into their camp, slaughtering the demon guards, wrathguards, and succubi they saw along the way!
The poor succubi were good at mental attacks, but they were beheaded by the knights before they could react, without any pity.
The Gan'arg laborers operating the fel cannons in the camp, facing the charge of the high-ranking knights, directly abandoned the fel cannons and fled in all directions without looking back!
Socrethar saw that the situation was over and chose to retreat!
Even though he had received Kil'jaeden's gift after his betrayal, and his body was infused with fel energy, giving him the strength of a demigod, he did not dare to face the charging knights head-on!
Although individual high-ranking knights were weak ants to Socrethar, who could be destroyed with one hand, thousands of high-ranking knights could exhaust him to death!
And large-scale, wide-area destructive spells required a little time to accumulate energy and guide them, and they were easily interrupted in the chaotic army, causing energy disorders in the body!
Moreover, the energy in each strong person's body has an upper limit. That kind of world-peace attack method consumes too much mana and cannot be used infinitely.
The most important thing is to be prepared for the existence of strong people of the same strength on the enemy's side. Randomly releasing skills consumes energy, which may eventually lead to being killed by the other strong person!
Two legs can never outrun four legs, even if their legs are long. Socrethar's personal guards, the Sargerei Shadowswordsmen, stopped and tried to stop the knights' charge, but Galen, with his keen eyes, had already seen Socrethar chanting a spell to prepare to cast a spell.
He couldn't sense the gathering of fel energy, but instead, a spatial fluctuation came!
Socrethar was once a draenei erudite, which corresponds to the mage profession!
Not good!
He wants to open a portal and run away!
Galen clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and his left hand was placed on the horse's neck, infusing it with holy light, man and horse as one!
"Holy Light Speed!"
Golden streamers seemed to flutter behind the warhorse. Galen passed the knights and rushed towards Socrethar.
He didn't know how many Sargerei Shadowswordsmen he knocked over along the way, but it was still not fast enough!
Galen could cast a group teleport instantly, but opening a portal using coordinates or teleporting himself individually required ten seconds of spellcasting. Assuming Socrethar was an arcane genius, it would only take half the time!
Couldn't wait!
Galen kicked the stirrups with both legs!
The whole person jumped into the air, and then the Wings of Holy Light quickly opened!
Then, he activated the rocket boots!
These were the maximum-power rocket boots that Gazlowe had specially customized for Galen. With the thrust of the rocket boots and the levitation of the Wings of Holy Light, Galen rapidly approached Socrethar!
"Judgment!"
A greatsword composed of holy light fell heavily towards Socrethar from the sky!
With Galen's full-strength Demac... Judgment, if Socrethar didn't dodge, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. If he chose to dodge, the guidance of the teleportation would be interrupted!
Galen wouldn't lose out either way!
Socrethar finally chose to Blink away.
After Blinking, he looked at Galen with a ferocious and angry expression.
"Ant! You actually dare to attack me!"
Socrethar sensed that Galen was only a Legend, still a mortal, and directly took out a Scarlet greatsword, looking like he had murderous intentions towards Galen!
"Huh?"
"Hehe, ant?"
Galen didn't get angry but laughed, and heard that word that made him very unhappy again, such as ant, insect, nephalem and so on!
The last one who called Galen that was Deathwing, and now the grass on his grave is more than three feet tall, and his soul is still waiting in the Altar of Kings!
Originally, he wanted to directly kill Socrethar and then collect his soul, but now he changed his mind!
He was going to let Socrethar accept judgment and a gang beating before he died.
Galen took out a yellow crystal from his arms. This was draenei technology, a communication device that used the magic network of Draenor for remote contact.
"Prophet, Prophet, are you there?"
Two seconds later, the crystal flickered and Velen's voice came: "Galen, my brother, what do you need help with?"
"I found a person here, and I think you will be interested. Call Maraad and Maladar, maybe you should judge your former brother O'shaar!"
Bang!
A loud noise came from the crystal, followed by Maraad's angry roar: "Galen! Where is that traitor!"
Clang!
When Velen's voice came, Socrethar, stimulated, picked up his greatsword and slashed over. Galen generously activated Divine Shield to block the blow.
Then he looked at Socrethar, with an evil smile on his lips: "Prophet, Maraad, you only need to tear open the Return Scroll I gave you, and you will be able to see the person you want to see!"
Now let's see how you die!
Sokrethar's mood was now very complicated, frustrated, angry, terrified?
He felt that Galen was the real demon!
A flash of white light, and a dozen draenei appeared beside Galen!
Just among those Galen recognized were Prophet Velen, Archbishop Maladaar, O'relyss, Defender Maraad, Boros, Khurus, Isom, and High Priestess Ishanah!
Apart from General Tiras'alan and Commander Fa'staff, almost all of the draenei high-level figures in Shattrath were present!
It was evident how much they cared about Sokrethar!
Compared to the three-meter tall blue and purple-skinned draenei, Sokrethar's size had increased to six meters after being infused with fel energy, and his skin had also turned red.
"Traitor!"
Maraad recalled the Shattrath civilians who had been slaughtered by the orcs, his heart filled with grief, and he couldn't control his emotions on the spot, raising his purple naaru hammer and charging towards Sokrethar!
"Come back! Maraad!"
Velen's expression changed, he already felt that this traitor in front of him was no longer what he used to be, surpassing the limits of mortals, and Maraad was not his opponent.
As for Sokrethar, he didn't change his expression in the face of the strongest defender's charge.
At the same time, he also noticed that the human man who had stopped him just now was extraordinary!
Also at the legendary high-level, Galen's flying slash gave Sokrethar the pressure that was simply incomparable to Maraad's charge!
The former made him feel threatened, while the latter didn't excite him.
Sokrethar lightly waved his scarlet wide-bladed greatsword, and Maraad was easily knocked away, followed by a Chaos Bolt thrown out, targeting the flying Maraad.
This was a deadly attack!
Velen's eyes changed at this time, his sharp gaze fixed on Sokrethar, and the staff in his right hand waved, instantly casting Power Word: Shield!
Power Word: Shield: Draws on the soul power of a friendly target to create a shield for them that can absorb a large amount of damage, and as long as the shield exists, the spellcasting will not be interrupted by damage.
At the critical moment, a translucent golden cover appeared on Maraad's body, and then the Chaos Bolt slammed heavily on the cover!
Even with the protection of Power Word: Shield, Maraad was still hit far away by the impact of the Chaos Bolt, rolling twice on the ground, and then stood up in a sorry state, rubbing his chest.
This was the gap between demigods, one used the strongest magical attack, and the other casually put on a shield!
Sokrethar's strongest spear was blocked by the shield that Velen casually put on!
Velen leaned on his staff and took a step forward: "O'salar, your end has come, today I will represent the thousands of draenei compatriots who died unjustly to judge you!"
"No! Velen, you are not qualified to judge me! You coward, Kil'jaeden gave me the right destiny, instead of following you to flee for twenty thousand years like a stray dog!"
"It's useless to say more, accept your judgment!"
Velen paused his staff, putting various buffs on the archbishops and defenders around him, and then Maraad took the lead, Boros, Khurus, and Isom, the three future hands of the Exodar Council, launched a charge, and Archbishop Maladaar and High Priestess Ishanah also began to chant spells!
In Galen's view, this was the Paladin and priest team fighting the boss.
I always feel that the future is worrying.
Galen was obviously not afraid of big things when watching the excitement, this small scene was not enough to watch, he turned his head, and a plan came to his mind, it seemed that there were two people under his command who hated Sokrethar to the bone.
Hehe!
Without saying much, hit him!
Galen was not as polite to his subordinates as he was to Velen, and directly summoned Akama and Nubot!
As soon as Akama and Nubot arrived, they were attracted by the battle in front of them, Sokrethar's six-meter tall figure was too conspicuous.
Boom!
A draenei flew out and fell on his face, it was Defender Isom, and High Priestess Ishanah blessed Isom with healing magic, instantly restoring his vitality.
"Waste!"
Although Akama muttered very softly, Galen's keen hearing still clearly heard this grumble, obviously Akama was very dissatisfied with the performance of the DPS.
"You also go up and help!"
Akama and Nubot looked at each other, and then Nubot, known as the Prophet, released this kind of buff on Akama, and then Akama disappeared in front of Galen with two scythes in his hands, entering a stealth state.
Well, with the addition of a three-line shaman Nubot and a shaman, rogue double-profession Akama entered the arena, there is something to see.
In addition to the golden light shining on the field, there were also blue lightning and fire rain!
Anyway, with Velen at the bottom, Sokrethar can't make waves, Galen watched for a while and left a team of holy knights to guard behind Velen, and he turned back to clean up the demon camp.
This time Galen's strategic goal was to kill them all, leaving no demons behind, so the battle in the camp was quite fierce.
After the high-level knights broke through the camp, the demon commanders took the lead in running away, and the other demons also fled in all directions, the knights followed the previous tactics, with the holy knights as the captains, and divided into teams to hunt down the demons.
Galen casually smashed the head of a hellhound who was running around in a panic with a judgment, at this time he found that the ground was full of demon blood, it seemed that after the battle, he had to purify this land, so as not to let the fel energy pollute these places covered with blood.
Not long after, Alleria arrived with the infantry.
This high elf ranger was shocked by the number and strength of the high-level knights under Galen!
What she had seen and heard during this time following Galen, and the strength of the Scarlet Crusade she had come into contact with, she originally thought that an army of hundreds of thousands was already amazing, but she didn't expect that Galen had exposed a heavy knight corps of more than ten thousand people today!
And all of them are high-level!
This strength is completely capable of unifying the seven human kingdoms and reunifying the humans who have been divided for more than 1,200 years!
At the same time, she also realized that Galen was hiding a huge secret, at least with the million population of the Arathi Highlands, it was impossible to gather so many troops!
However, Galen had promised her before that he would share these secrets with her at the right opportunity!
Alleria was looking forward to that day!
"Discovered a demigod-level hero soul. Collect it?"
Demigod is a title for those who have broken through the mortal ranks. If a demigod goes further, Galen guessed it might be a true god, like Elune.
"Collect!"
Galen was no longer surprised by demigods. I have several of them!
Two Naaru, the three Golden Dragon siblings, the former Guardian of Tirisfal Aegwynn, Gruul the Dragonkiller, the two silly birds of Arakkoa, the four elemental lords of Nagrand, and the sound elemental lord, Mymiron.
"Galen, thank you for helping us judge this traitor!"
Velen bowed sincerely to Galen, "Unfortunately, we were not well prepared to imprison his soul. Given the nature of the Burning Legion, perhaps this traitor will be resurrected and come out to do evil again soon!"
No, he won't have a chance, and I don't plan to use him. I guess his end will be to become nourishment for some spellcaster under my command to break through to demigod!
Well, Medivh is very suitable. He once possessed the power of the Guardian, but after his death in Karazhan, he returned the remaining power to his mother.
Now Galen has him in charge of Draenor's affairs. Even with the four spirits of Nagrand, Gruul the Dragonkiller, and the two birds by his side, it seems difficult for Medivh, who is only at the legendary level, to hold the fort.
Galen accumulated a lot of high-level enemy hero souls during the Eastern Continent War of the Orcs and the Draenor War. Except for Deathwing's, which is still useful, all the others can be converted!
Galen decided that after putting the infrastructure of Farahlon on the right track, he would distribute soul essence in Shattrath City to help Medivh and a group of legion commanders break through.
"Prophet, I may have to return to Azeroth for a while. I have handed over the affairs of the Crusader to Grand Magister Medivh, the commander here. You can contact him if you need anything."
"Thank you for your help, Galen." Velen took a deep look at Galen. Even at the age of thirty thousand, Velen still couldn't see through this favored one of the Holy Light.
Perhaps he really is the savior guided by the Holy Light to help the Draenei and Draenor!
"Galen, I have asked the mages of the clan to build a fixed portal between Auchindoun and Genedar, so we can meet in Azeroth in the future!"
Genedar is the new city built by the Draenei in the desolate mountains of central Azshara, meaning hope in Draenei. At the same time, this name is also to commemorate the ship that took them away from Argus and eventually crashed in Nagrand.
In fact, the Draenei prefer to build a port city on the coast, but unfortunately, Azshara, as the former capital of the elves, has special significance for Queen Azshara. Therefore, a large number of Naga clans are entrenched on the coast. The Draenei's forces are insufficient, and most of them are on the front lines of Draenor, so they are unable to resist the Naga's invasion.
Galen helped them build a new city in the desolate mountains in the center, which is the location of Gadgetzan in later generations.
This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is close to Galen's sphere of influence, which can not only provide them with a large amount of food and necessities, but also protect their safety when necessary.
"Then we'll see you in Azeroth! Prophet!"
With Galen's farewell, Velen and the others went back to Shattrath. They were originally discussing the establishment of a portal, so the high-level officials gathered together.
Afterward, Galen began to explore and transform the island of Farahlon!
First, clean up the demon corpses and retain the fel corruption, and then introduce the grass seeds of the Nagrand prairie.
Originally, Galen wanted to use the same plan as the Barrens, and continue to use diluted spring water of the Living Earth to spray and irrigate with aircraft, but after the Gale Legion's carpet search of the entire island, after discovering the corpses of the other two Genesaur, Galen changed his mind!
Galen remembered that when the Genesaur died, it would release all the source of life in its body to form a Withered Bloom, and then a large number of plant life would appear around it, such as treants, vine guardians, podlings, and needle thorns.
Now the three demigod Genesaur are slowly absorbing the surrounding free life force. When they gather enough life force to be resurrected, Galen will have to spend energy to suppress them. It is better to find a way to extract their life force to nourish the land of Farahlon.
Galen also thought about using the Altar of Kings to collect the souls of the Genesaur, but!
Can anyone tell me if plants have souls?
Anyway, Galen failed to find the existence of souls in the Genesaur!
The Spore Giant was originally an aggregate of spore plants. They represent the collective will of plants, and the Genesaur is a degraded version of the Spore Giant. It is understandable that they have no soul but only instinct.
This great project, of course, is handed over to Medivh and Khadgar, the master and apprentice. Guiding the power of life is the field of the mystic side. Who else can do it but them?
And where is Farahlon?
In Draenor!
Who is the commander of Draenor?
Medivh!
See, who else but you!
So, Galen took the three Genesaur back to the Crusader's Heights in Shattrath City.
Medivh received Galen's summons and led the high-level members of the Crusader from the front line back to Shattrath City.
"This is?"
Everyone came back to their senses from the teleportation and found the corpses of the three huge Genesaur placed on the central platform of the Crusader's Heights!
Not only Medivh, a knowledgeable mage, was surprised, but Khadgar, Omar, Varok, Haynie, Faldar, Frald, and Durin behind him were even more amazed, marveling at the wonders of the world.
Khadgar even failed to control his hand and had already touched the skin of the Genesaur.
"Stop dawdling, the Archon is waiting. The things are here, they can't run away."
Medivh was dissatisfied with his disciple's lack of worldliness.
Everyone entered the town hall, and Galen sat on the main seat waiting for their arrival. On the table in front of Galen, there was a large pile of soul essence emitting brilliant light.
Looking at their puzzled expressions, Galen explained: "These are all energy essences that enhance the strength of the soul and increase potential, specially prepared for you."
"The treasures are placed here, come on, all of you sit down and eat heartily, don't stop until you reach the legendary level!"
Varrokal saw that there was such a good thing, and obediently went forward to find a seat and picked up the essence in front of him and put it in his mouth.
With Varrokal taking the lead, Omar and Haynie and others also sat down and began a gluttonous feast.
Khadgar was still a little shy. Omar and the others, as Galen's subordinates, could accept the prince's gift without any pressure. Khadgar said that he was thin-skinned and a little embarrassed.
Medivh had an expression of hating that iron cannot become steel, and kicked his disciple in the butt.
Khadgar followed the strength of his mentor and leaned forward on the chair, picked up the purple essence and ate it.
After the others began, Galen called Medivh forward and handed him Sokrethar's soul nourishment.
The blue of a high-level soul, the purple of a legendary soul, and the orange-yellow of the demigod-level Sokrethar's soul illuminated Medivh's face.
Galen remembered that the way the Guardians were created by the Tirisgarde Council was to drive qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.
The first generation of Tirisgarde Guardians created a construct called the Guardian's Crucible based on a certain inherited spell of the High Elves.
The old mages in the council would transmit the arcane energy in their bodies through the Guardian's Crucible into the Guardian's body, accumulating little by little, and thus creating the name of the Guardian.
Perhaps the first Guardian did not have the strength of a demigod, but after thousands of years, through the efforts of generations, a large amount of arcane energy accumulated and gathered on one person, eventually achieving the strongest Guardian with abnormal strength like Aegwynn.
Galen is now doing the opposite, using the soul of a demigod as nourishment to transform Medivh's soul into a demigod, and then slowly nourishing the body with the soul, so that the body can accommodate the energy output of a demigod's strength.
Medivh had the strength of a demigod, so after he consumed the nourishment, he easily completed this transformation process. Because it was only a breakthrough of the soul, the energy that the body could accommodate was still at the peak of the legendary realm, so it did not cause any sequelae.
Well, very low-key, very in line with Galen's philosophy of making a fortune in silence.
After Medivh was Khadgar. He was already a legendary-level spellcaster. There were not many spellcaster soul nourishments suitable for him. Galen took out the souls of the demoness Thuppet and the orc warlock Vorpil.
Khadgar quickly swallowed the two soul nourishments, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in himself.
As for Omar and the others, they were all melee professions. Galen had a large number of them on hand, all of whom were high-level warriors from orc clans and high-level guards from demons.
Among these six corps commanders, Omar had the highest strength. Already at the ninth rank, he quickly felt the loosening of his rank and learned from Khadgar to close his eyes and quietly comprehend.
Next were the two paladins, Henny and Varrokal. Fadir and his two brothers were still considered diligent among the noble children of Stromgarde, but they still lacked talent. Fortunately, they followed the right person. If their aptitude was not enough, Galen would help them cheat!
Ten high-level orcs are not enough?
Then add ten more high-level demons!
Eat as much as you can, until you are full!
Finally, when the soul nourishment on the table was about to run out, the last three people also entered a meditative state.
Galen nodded in satisfaction. Although he had spent most of his inventory, he had at least achieved his goal. In the future, there would be six more legendary-level corps commanders.
As far as Galen knew, the so-called strongest Kingdom of Lordaeron currently only had Uther, Tirion, Mograine, and Alfred Abidis as legendary masters on the surface. Tirion Fordring was still too young and was currently hovering at the ninth rank.
Of course, as a king, Terenas must have hidden other trump cards, but the number on the surface far exceeded Stromgarde.
Galen's old father had been operating for so many years, and he only had himself and Marshal Oslight as legendary masters, and Amor, General Agna, and a few corps commanders as ninth-rank masters.
The legendary rank requires not only talent but also a rare opportunity for breakthrough. It can be said to be one in a million!
Now Galen is mass-producing them here, which would anger a large number of power leaders if it were spread out.
Galen led Medivh and Khadgar, who had finished first, out of the hall and came to the corpses of the three Primal Thorn Beasts.
"These are the corpses of the Primal Tree Beasts that I found in Farahlon. Although they are still dead now, they are still absorbing life force on their own. Once they are given enough time, resurrection is not difficult.
Speaking of which, it's sad. They are both demigods, but the plant-based ones can resurrect themselves, while the wild demigods need believers to work hard after they die.
I hope you can study a way to extract the life force from their bodies during this period and let them release the absorbed life force to nourish the land of Farahlon!"
Simply put, these three Primal Tree Beasts are being used as free fertilizer. They absorb, and Galen plunders.
"No problem, Great Lord, I will take this matter as my next research project!"
Medivh nodded. As someone who had experienced his mother's arcane infusion to impart the power of the Guardian, he was familiar with this process.
Moreover, the main battlefield of the Draenor battle is on the Road of Glory front line. The main force is the Draenor Allied Forces, and the Crusade is only an auxiliary force. Eagle Watch and Honor Hold have modern troops of goblins and gnomes. The little guys of the two races have fallen in love with Galen's saying: Explosion is art!
They can't wait to blow up something every day! When the demons come up, they directly blast the four seas!
Medivh doesn't need to worry about much every day, so he volunteered to take on this task.
This is not the most important thing. Controlling the number of demons on the Kil'jaeden Throne is the top priority.
Galen thought for a while and continued: "Once Kazak's progress is not smooth, I am worried that Magtheridon will enter the field. This is a difficult Abyss Lord and also a confidant of Mannoroth. It is easy to involve more demons."
"Once the Allied Forces can't hold on, immediately ask K'ure and D'ore for help and let them send a signal to attract the Sha'tar to come!"
Galen came to Draenor not only to mine and grab resources but also to train troops. He never expected to fight the Burning Legion to the death at this time. Pulling teammates to block bullets has become Galen's basic operation.
A'dal, a powerful figure in the middle of the Naaru, a powerful boss, and the peaceful and wise leader of the Sha'tar. The meaning of this big brother's existence is to make teammates feel that this round is stable!
"Sha'tar?"
Medivh's fate was changed by Galen. He failed to become the astral mage who would travel through the worlds in the future, so he only had a superficial understanding of the forces in the universe, not as good as his mother.
"The name Sha'tar means born in the Holy Light. It is a group of Naaru who intercept and kill the Burning Legion in the universe."
"Naaru!"
Medivh understood. Isn't it just sending a signal to request reinforcements when at a disadvantage? No problem.
After arranging the matters of Draenor, Galen began to prepare for his return to Azeroth. In addition to bringing back a large batch of Blackrock ore, Galen also brought a large amount of Apexis crystals!
