World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde

Chapter 62 Return to Arathi Highlands

Passing the mountain roads between Hinterlands and Hillsbrad Foothills, Garin and the Stromgarde Militia returned to Hillsbrad Foothills again.

The Stromgarde Militia had been on the expedition for quite some time. During this period, they experienced a series of brutal battles, which completely transformed this army composed of only new recruits into an elite.

Long-term battles will make people tired and war-weary, even the Arathi people with tough folk customs are the same. After all, they are not orcs who drink the blood of demons and are filled with killing and fighting.

Proper rest can keep the warriors in high morale and combat effectiveness, and when they return to Arathi Highlands and witness the huge changes, they will support Garin even more.

In addition, the Stromgarde Militia dispatched troops have not completely recognized Garin. When they were far away in Lordaeron helping the Lordaeron Restoration Army, the old king Soras suddenly died.

Garin has been using the title of prince for quite a long time. He did not experience the pain of the destruction of his country and family like the blood elf prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, and announced that his father, the Sun King Anasterian Sunstrider, was the last Sun King.

The reason why he has not been crowned as the king of the Kingdom of Stormgarde is because Garin feels that the time has not come yet.

He was directly crowned as the king of the Kingdom of Stormgarde after the death of the old king Thoras Trollbane, just because he is the son of the old king Thoras, and the Arathi people recognize him only in this way.

Now, it is completely different.

After all of Garin's actions, including the defense of Arathi Highlands, the defense of Stromgarde, the issuance of Garin Trollbane's decree, the re-reading of Stromgarde, the assistance of Lordaeron to Hillsbrad Foothills, the recovery of Stromgarde militia dispatched troops, the great victory over the Scourge at Stearnbrad, the control of Alterac City and the ruins of Dalaran, the complete destruction of the Witherwood Trolls and the feat of killing the gods...

Now, Garin can be said to have won the worship of all Arathi people and refugees from Lordaeron, Alterac, and Dalaran, and has gained prestige that surpasses the kings of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, becoming the closest to Emperor Arathor.

This return to Arathi Highlands is undoubtedly the best time to be crowned as king.

When the Stromgarde militia arrived at the foot of the Thoradin Wall, the defenders standing on the Thoradin Wall welcomed the return of their kings and heroes with the highest military salute.

The Thoradin Wall has been completely repaired, all the weeds have been cleared, and the entire Thoradin Wall has been completely renewed. Even the huge flags of the Kingdom of Stormgarde are hung on both sides of the Thoradin Wall.

Looking at the brand new Thoradin Wall, Garin and the soldiers of the Stromgarde Militia can't help but start to look forward to what Stromgarde has become now?

Walking into the Thoradin Wall is the ground of the Arathi Highlands. Originally, most of the roads inside the Arathi Highlands were dirt roads. The stone slabs of the ancient Arathor Empire have become bumpy dirt roads due to years of disrepair.

But now, Garin found that the main road was paved with neat stone slabs and widened.

Just when Garin was wondering how he could allocate part of his strength to repair the road so quickly when the Arathi Highlands was in ruins and the reconstruction of Stromgarde was so huge, Garin's ears were keenly aware of the sound of galloping horses.

Soon, the source of the horse trampling sound appeared in sight. Five thousand cavalry troops wearing standard armor of the Kingdom of Stormgard cavalry and holding the flag of the Kingdom of Stormgard appeared.

Five thousand cavalry galloped. If they were enemies, the Stromgard militia would have to pay a huge price. However, they were not enemies, but their comrades.

"Your Highness, welcome back!" Garin's confidant, Lieutenant Varokar, the captain of the cavalry, ran to greet him excitedly.

The Stromgard cavalry, which had a thousand people before, had only more than two hundred people left after the Stromgard defense battle. Later, Lieutenant Varokar received Garin's order, indicating that the cavalry of the Kingdom of Stormgard would return to the team and re-tame the Arathi Highland warhorses that had been released back to nature.

Originally, Garin calculated that it would be good if the Stromgard cavalry could recover to a strength of three thousand people. After all, highland warhorses are easy to tame, but a qualified cavalryman is not so easy to train.

The five thousand Stromgarde cavalry in front of him were obviously all qualified cavalry, which made Garin say happily, "Varokar, you really gave me a surprise. How did you recruit so many qualified cavalry?"

"Your Highness, it is because of your kindness and mercy that the former cavalry among the refugees from the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Alterac have volunteered to join the Stromgarde cavalry, which has reached its current scale." The Highland Cavalry of the Kingdom of Stormgarde is the strongest, but this does not mean that only the Kingdom of Stormgarde has a well-organized cavalry. In addition to Dalaran, even the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, the maritime kingdom, has a cavalry unit. The wealthy Kingdom of Lordaeron once had a cavalry unit of tens of thousands of people.

The enthusiastic joining of the cavalry originally belonging to the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Alterac enabled Lieutenant Varrokar to select five thousand qualified cavalry.

Lieutenant Varrokar made Garin very satisfied. He had almost crazy loyalty and good ability. Except for his slightly inferior strength, Lieutenant Varrokar was undoubtedly Garin's favorite close minister.

Under the command of Lieutenant Varokkar, five thousand Stromgarde cavalry troops guarded both sides of the Stromgarde militia. They rode highland war horses and also greeted their kings and heroes in their own way.

The elite veterans of the Stromgarde militia couldn't help but burst into tears after seeing the five thousand Stromgarde cavalry troops riding highland war horses.

Even the tough guys who were not afraid of the Scourge Legion cried when they saw the rebuilt Stromgarde Cavalry. This was because they saw the revitalization of the Kingdom of Stromgard and recalled the two decades of decline. Cry.

I learned from Lieutenant Varrokar that the widened and rebuilt main stone road was the work of the goblins. The goblins with fantastic ideas invented an engineering machine that automatically paved the road with money, allowing people with huge With the cooperation of the powerful Stone Fist Ogre, he took the lead in completing the repair of the main road from Thoradin's Wall to Stromgarde at a very fast speed.

Garin understood that the main reason for repairing this section of road was to welcome the return of him and the Stromgarde militia.

This was recognition from all the subjects of the entire Kingdom of Stromgard, and Garin couldn't help but raise his head.

The Stromgarde militia soldiers who stepped on the stone road also held their chests and heads high, enjoying the glory that belonged to them.

The residents who had been assigned to the area near this section of road dropped all their work and spontaneously came to both sides of the road, cheering.

They may not be Arathi, but refugees from Lordaeron, Alterac, and Dalaran, but they are now integrated into the Kingdom of Stromgarde.
