Galen returned to the battlefield at the West Gate. On the way, he contacted Aragorn through the Origin Heart, asking him to send a signal to notify Amor to send troops from Hamerfall to outflank the trolls.
On the West Gate side, more than two hours had passed since the end of the battle. The soldiers had completely cleared the southern part of Witherbark Village.
With the two top combat forces of Witherbark Village eliminated, all that remained were mid-level, low-ranking overseers and a large number of ordinary, able-bodied civilians. Survival is the instinct of every living being. Galen gave them the opportunity to surrender, and they laid down their weapons without much hesitation.
At this moment, the remaining soldiers were escorting the troll prisoners to the lakeside to guard them. Galen glanced over, and the trolls by the lake were either squatting or lying down, almost all of them injured.
Worthy of being a race famous for its self-healing ability and tenacious vitality, some of those who were seriously injured and on the verge of death had already recovered. As the eldest race of Azeroth, trolls are indeed very suitable as a fighting race. Tens of thousands of years ago, they relied on their healing factor to fight off the Aqir insectoid empire of the Old Gods.
Unfortunately, they killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of their own. After winning, they were also severely injured. The troll empire was divided, and then there were tens of thousands of years of decline and regression of civilization.
Galen walked straight to the West Gate, where the soldiers had neatly arranged the bodies of their fallen brothers. An officer handed Galen a report.
This was a casualty list. Galen glanced at it. More than three hundred were killed in action, more than two hundred were seriously injured, and the lightly injured were not counted.
The vanguard of five thousand fighting three thousand, in full armor, Galen could accept this number of deaths.
The guards that Amor had originally brought had long been arranged by him to serve as squad leaders. At this moment, they were either cleaning up the battlefield or guarding the prisoners. The new guards were the batch of infantry who had been promoted to mid-level through several battles and enemy kills.
Seeing that there were base soldiers all around, Galen let go and used the Paladin's ultimate move: Resurrection.
With Galen as the center, a brilliant golden holy light shone, and the wounds on the bodies of the base soldiers who were illuminated by the holy light began to heal. Before long, they stood up again.
After the holy light shone, Galen counted and found that one hundred and eighty soldiers had stood up, and more than one hundred soldiers had not been resurrected.
Regarding the number of resurrections, Galen and Aragorn had discussed it. Although Aragorn was a hero summoned by the Altar of Kings, the predecessor of his soul was also a Holy Light combatant, and he had a deep understanding of the Holy Light.
The Altar of Kings endowed him with four talent skills, and he enhanced the power of these four skills through his own understanding of the Paladin profession and the understanding of the Holy Light.
If Aragorn had released the Resurrection spell just now, then the number of people resurrected would have been much more than Galen's. A white light flashed, and Gandalf had brought two thousand soldiers with well-preserved physical strength to the West Gate.
Seeing this, Galen said to the soldier who had just given him the report:
"Go to the North Gate and bring the brothers who died in battle there as well. Protect the bodies of the brothers and wait for General Aragorn to come over."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After Galen finished speaking, he walked towards Gandalf.
Gandalf also had permission to view the strategic map of the Origin Heart. He already knew about the appearance of trolls in Kobold Canyon. At this moment, he came to support Aragorn.
Galen didn't say much to Gandalf, he just asked him to bring Aragorn and the bodies of the fallen soldiers back together after the battle in Kobold Canyon was over.
After Gandalf left, Galen led a team of soldiers to the cave in Witherbark Village. That was where the high-level members of Witherbark Village lived, and the treasures of Witherbark Village for many years should be there.
The time for treasure hunting has come.
An exciting moment!
Anyway, Galen is looking forward to it!
The cave is located in the southeast corner of Witherbark Village, behind the densest wooden buildings in the village. The entrance of the cave is decorated very luxuriously. Without having to look carefully, they saw the location of the cave.
The troll houses along the way had been searched by the soldiers, and the troll women and children had been taken to the lakeside to be guarded.
Speaking of which, Galen really didn't see too many elderly trolls. According to the information Galen got, trolls have a tradition of eating people, not only eating people, but some also eat their own kind, such as the Vilebranch tribe of the Hinterlands, they will capture members of the Witherbark tribe who are also trolls.
The Witherbark Trolls eat humans, but they don't eat their own tribe, but if there is not enough food in the tribe, they will drive away the elderly trolls, giving priority to ensuring the rations of the young and strong and troll children.
In their concept, the elderly have no ability to work, and they don't have combat power. Instead of wasting food, it is better to drive them away and let them fend for themselves in the wild.
After Galen and the others walked up the hill, they saw that there was already a small team guarding the entrance of the cave. After the base soldiers were upgraded, Galen promoted them to be the captains of other soldiers. It seems that the base soldiers not only have intelligence, but also have a high IQ, knowing to guard important areas after occupying the entire territory.
Infantrymen and musketeers formed a team and entered the cave to search. Galen, because he didn't like the winding terrain of the cave, waited at the entrance of the cave for the map to be explored.
Before long, the soldiers carried out items that made Galen happy.
Boxes were carried out one by one, piled into a small mountain at the entrance of the cave, making Galen feel refreshed. Then a team of soldiers escorted a dozen trolls out. From their figures, they should be female trolls, and they are quite young. The fangs only protrude a small tip from their lips, which looks a bit like a wild beauty.
Well, it's very similar to the character Galen built in his previous life, a female troll druid.
Oh, the evil high-level members of Witherbark Village! They actually hid beauties in the cave. The rascals!
At this time, a soldier came to report that the northern area had been cleared, and the generals had gathered by the lake. Galen left the troops to guard the many years of wealth of Witherbark Village, and he went back to check the battle report of this battle.
According to Galen's estimation, the casualties on his side in this battle in Witherbark Village should not be large. The Witherbark Village itself has insufficient troops, and the equipment is still backward. His soldiers are fully armored, which can be regarded as heavy infantry.
With the trolls' backward equipment, the hastily assembled warriors, and the unfavorable number of troops, Galen asked the dead Zalas and Nimar, how can I throw the fight and lose?
The southeast has been settled, the soldiers and armor are sufficient, when the three armies are rewarded, the north…
The north is the Hinterlands, there are two troll tribes with good strength, the Witherbark tribe in the west has the strong city of Shadra'nor, and the Vilebranch Trolls in the west also have the well-defended city of Jintha'Alor, I can't handle it right now I'll have to build up the army.
There is also a relatively small troll tribe on the eastern coast of the Hinterlands, the Revantusk Tribe, maybe I can start with them first.
