Plant the flag, claim the territory!
The flag was designed by Galen himself, bearing the symbol of the Duchy of Thoradin, a red iron fist crossed with the Holy Sword of Thoradin. The red iron fist is the symbol of Stromgarde, and the Holy Sword represents the Duchy of Thoradin.
The new port city was named after Galen himself, called Galenport.
For the branch development of Kalimdor, Galen planned to separate from the forces of the Eastern Kingdoms and form a new alliance system.
The Eastern Kingdoms are an alliance of humans, high elves, dwarves, and gnomes, all humanoid intelligent creatures.
On the Kalimdor, there are many humanoid intelligent creatures. In addition to the night elves, there are also tauren, quillboar, and centaurs. Although quillboar and centaurs are savage, they are still intelligent creatures. To resist the Burning Legion in the future and achieve the goal of Azeroth as one family, they can all be won over. Those with people can be reasoned with; if they don't talk, beat them until they do.
The location of Galenport is truly superior. The Barrens is located in the center of the continent, leading north to the night elf territory of Ashenvale. There are two passages to the west; the northwest passage leads to the Stonetalon Mountains, where the tauren have been driven by the centaurs from the Desolace. The southwest passage leads to the treasure land surrounded by mountains, Mulgore, the future home of the tauren.
And the location of Galenport is the only deep-water coastline in the Barrens, a crucial transportation hub. It's truly a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity.
After planting the flag, Gandalf returned to the Eastern Kingdoms and brought back five hundred farmers. Together, they cooperated to build the first town hall. Subsequently, Silver and the Tidefury Legion each led a new legion, a total of four legions, using return scrolls to teleport to Galenport .
Along with the legions, there were also five dark operations teams. Galen planned to have James lead them, scattering them to scout the strongholds of various races in the Barrens, diplomatic relations, and other useful information.
Galen also deployed five teams on the border of Stormwind, constantly monitoring the movements of the orcs and the battle situation in Stormwind.
This was a test for the two commanders. If they could perfectly complete the task, they would have the opportunity to compete for the position of Dark Operations Minister.
As the saying goes, 'practice makes perfect.' This was already Galen's tenth branch base, and planning it was truly a breeze.
Draw a circle of walls at the exit of the valley slope, and arrange several sentry guards on both sides of the east-west coastline. Later, upgrade them to gun emplacements, which can effectively attack enemy ships from the ocean.
Galen planned to replicate Ratchet for the positioning of Galenport . This will be a purely neutral city. As long as you enter Galenport , you are my customer and are protected by the town guards. As long as you abide by the city's rules, you can do any business here.
However, Galen felt that one force should be included in the blacklist of Galenport . This is something that Ratchet has not done, which is to refuse to provide services to the Venture Company.
The Venture Company is a goblin force, and it also absorbs other intelligent races, but it is still dominated by goblins. The thing they like to do most is to greedily and unrestrainedly exploit local resources and wantonly destroy the balance of nature.
Now that they have not yet come to the Barrens and the Stonetalon Mountains, two resource-rich areas, then he has an obligation to refuse them entry. These places have all been designated by Galen as his back garden, how can he tolerate these notorious goblins exploiting him?
Since it is a neutral city, then possessing a deterrent force is essential. Six regular legions made Galen feel insufficient, so he designated the northern part of the port, near the Ragefire Chasm, as a military restricted zone. Three barracks were set up here, two for training low-level infantry and riflemen, and one for training knights.
Currently, most of his barracks are working hard to train high-level troops, knights. Only five barracks are training infantry and riflemen. Although it is also considered a fully loaded training sequence, the resource consumption in the resource bar has been alleviated.
When the troops trained by the three barracks in Galenport are sufficient, the current four legions can be transferred away in turn.
The shipyard, arcane sanctum, workshop, and gryphon roost were built near the barracks and were also listed as restricted areas, with separate walls built. As Galen's bridgehead in Kalimdor, the troops must be comprehensive, and the comprehensive strength must also be stronger.
Subsequently, the top priority is the planning of the commercial street. Hotels and shops are not system buildings from the Origin Heart and need to be built by farmers and soldiers from scratch.
After Galen made the plan, he became a hands-off shopkeeper. He now felt that he lacked capable people who could stand alone under his command. Perhaps after returning this time, he could pull Omar and the others out to train and strive to let them lead an army alone as soon as possible.
During this period, Galen went to the Barrens when he was bored, hunted, roasted kodo eggs, and after eating and drinking his fill, he rode a albino raptor across the great prairie, and his life was very happy.
Only Gandalf suffered. After Galen finished planning, he let it go, and Gandalf did everything himself, helping Galen overcome the difficulties in the construction and transporting suitable building materials from the mountains in eastern Barrens.
Unfortunately, Galen just felt that the construction process was too boring, so he could only work hard for the Archmage.
In fact, there is another way to build an Altar of Kings in Galenport . In this way, the obtained heroic souls can be summoned using the Altar of Kings. This is equivalent to having an extra heroic soul guarding the town. As long as the heroic soul had experience in leading troops during his lifetime, the soldiers can be handed over to him to command. If he knows about people's livelihood, then that's even better.
However, the two heroic souls Galen obtained from attacking the Witherbark were too bad. At most, they were just elite template mobs in the game. The quality was not good enough, not strong enough.
Among them, the Slayer had already had his essence extracted by Galen and absorbed by Omar, increasing Omar's potential. The heroic soul of Zalas Witherbark was temporarily stored in the Altar of Kings because it was still somewhat useful. Occasionally, he was pulled out to brainwash the troll slaves using his identity as the leader of the Witherbark, so that they could be loyal to His Royal Highness.
The construction of Galenport lasted for two months. With the efforts of four legions of soldiers and two thousand farmers, the brick-built commercial street was finally completed, and Galenport was officially completed.
James also lived up to expectations, figuring out the information of the Barrens and reporting back to Galen.
Looking at the thick stack of information in front of him, combined with his memories of clearing tasks in the Barrens in his previous life, clear information appeared in Galen's mind.
