Having determined the next step, Galen began to consider who to send. Amor led a group of generals to garrison Saint Helm Valley and the Fortress of the Barbed Canyon.
At the same time, Galen formed an officer training class, with Amor as the chief instructor. The trainees included Omar, Varokal, Haynie, Fadir, Fral, and Karl, as well as the core members of their teams.
Galen had high hopes for these six, after all, with the Origin Heart base, he did not lack soldiers, what he lacked were senior officers, generals, and marshals.
In addition to being instilled with combat skills, the soldiers of the base, possessing intelligence, could grow after multiple battles and serve as grassroots officers. However, commanders needed to learn a lot of knowledge, needed talent, and needed a combination of theory and practice, which Galen needed to cultivate.
Previously, after killing the two ninth-order powerhouses in Witherbark Village, the Origin Heart absorbed their souls, and Galen found them in the Hall of Kings.
A new interface appeared in the Hall of Kings, used to manage these heroic spirits.
Galen called the interface for placing heroic spirits the Heroic Spirit Realm.
The heroic spirits absorbed into the Heroic Spirit Realm appeared as glowing orbs, with two options on the interface.
Extract: Decompose the heroic spirit, extract its essence, and give it to people with the same attributes to absorb, with a chance to increase the user's talent limit.
Reshape: Spend certain resources to reshape the heroic spirit's spiritual body. The heroic spirit possesses the memories and strength of its previous life. The heroic spirit is loyal to the host and cannot be far from the Hall of Kings, otherwise, the spiritual body will collapse.
These two abilities of the Hall of Kings were simply prepared to make up for the base's high-end combat power. The enemy's heroic spirits could be extracted and then absorbed by their own subordinates to enhance their strength.
The heroic spirits of friendly factions could be absorbed and then reshaped, and after reshaping, it was equivalent to having an additional high-level thug.
Although it was not known how far the distance mentioned by the Hall of Kings was, this was not a big problem. At worst, he would build a Hall of Kings in each branch, reshape the heroic spirits separately, and let the heroic spirits be stationed in a Hall of Kings, just as local garrison officers.
Contentment is one of Galen's advantages. Nothing is perfect, and it was already a surprise that the Hall of Kings had these functions.
The only people Galen could mobilize were the base heroes Aragorn and Gandalf.
Cliff was to take his engineering team to Refuge Pointe in the Arathi Highlands to build the farm ordered by Thoras. Considering that completing it too quickly would arouse suspicion, he would not be back for a while. At the same time, Galen also sent five hundred soldiers to him to block off the construction site.
The logistics supervisor Hammon was transferred over, and Galen newly formed a transport team, transporting some new specialties from Saint Helm Valley.
A large amount of wheat and ale, as well as some flour, mainly to have Hammon lead the team to the Northeron Highlands to improve the reputation of the Wildhammer dwarves.
As for why not go to the Hinterlands to find the Wildhammer dwarves of Aerie Peak, where there are more dwarves. It was because most of the dwarves in Aerie Peak were from the Wildhammer tribe. They were powerful, worldly, and not easy to fool. Moreover, they were more official and had initially formed a national regime. Communicating with them was not only folk trade but also required attention to the diplomatic impact between the two countries.
The dwarves of the Northeron Highlands, although also belonging to the Wildhammer camp, were a small tribe that followed the Wildhammer north when the dwarves split into the Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, and Dark Iron.
In those days, the Wildhammer tribe gave up the polluted Grim Batol and chose to continue north to find a new habitat. And some of the small clans that originally followed the Wildhammer tribe were unwilling to follow the Wildhammer single-mindedly to the north, they chose to go to the east of Grim Batol, which is now the Northeron Highlands, and established new villages.
The dwarf villages that have formed a certain scale in the Northeron Highlands include the Kirthaven village in the northwest, Thundermar in the north, the Firebeard's Patrol in the central highlands, and the last one, the Dunwald in the southwest.
The dwarves of the Northeron Highlands have been separated from Aerie Peak for more than two hundred years. Although nominally still under the Wildhammer, they are already an autonomous territory, and these four dwarf villages are not united. It was only later that the Twilight Cult and the Old Gods invaded the Northeron Highlands that the dwarves here returned to the Wildhammer under the efforts of the Wildhammer dwarf hero Kurdran.
But this is at least twenty or thirty years later. At that time, Thrall's son was born, and Thrall is still being conceived in his mother's womb.
And Galen's goal is the Firebeard clan in the central highlands. They have a Firebeard Gryphon Knight unit, whose strength is second only to the Thunderbeak Gryphon Knight team of Aerie Peak.
Harmmon led the transport team from Saint Helm Valley and went to Northeron by land. In addition to abducting a gryphon knight instructor, his task was also to discuss with the elders of the Firebeard tribe to build a port on their eastern coast.
Although they are autonomous large villages, the necessary diplomacy is still necessary, which is due respect for the dwarves.
As for the development of the northeastern and southeastern islands of Northeron, and the Thandol Delta, Galen prepared to lead Aragorn and Gandalf to do it himself.
There was no way, there were not enough people, so he had to do it himself.
As early as after the end of the Witherbark Village War, Galen gave Haynie a vacation, letting him return to Southshore to visit his aunt, and by the way, bring back the ten sea ships that Galen had previously ordered.
At the same time, Galen also re-ordered a new order from the old town mayor. He currently had 400,000 gold coins in hand, and his mentality was inflated, so he directly spent 100,000 gold coins to buy ten armed ocean-going battleships.
This was to prepare for the future crossing to Kalimdor, and within this month, a new batch of soldiers had been trained, and a new legion was assigned to Gandalf, and the Tidefury Legion was formed.
Galen handed over all the wizards to Gandalf to command. His Glorious Aura could accelerate the wizards' mana recovery, maximizing the role of the wizard troops.
Galen planned to use the Tidefury Legion as a navy, so it was mostly musketeers. In the future, if there was a chance to form a naval fleet, it would just cooperate with Gandalf's water element army.
In early March, Haynie led the recruited sailors and sailed ten coastal merchant ships to Fadir Bay Port, and Galen came to the port in advance to wait for them.
Ten merchant ships sailed from the northwest along the coastline of the Arathi Highlands.
These human-made freighters are exactly the same as in the World of Warcraft game, with a hull width of about 30 meters and a length of nearly 100 meters.
Because Galen ordered the sea ships at cost price, superior quality was already the old town mayor's last sincerity. The ships were not equipped with weapons, and Galen also used them as transport ships.
A transport ship can carry about 200 people. Galen brought 1,800 soldiers on ten ships, mostly musketeers, and 200 farmers followed Galen.
Their task was to go to three locations to build town halls. With the town halls as coordinates, Gandalf could use group teleportation or use teleportation scrolls to bring the large army over.
Aragorn was responsible for the construction of the island in the northeast direction, Galen was the second, the port planning of the Thandol Delta, and the last and farthest military base in the southeast corner was left to Gandalf, who was the most mobile.
After Galen reported to his father and obtained the territorial development rights from him, he took the troops on board.
Hoist the sails! Set sail!
