The bodies of the four hundred fallen soldiers were collected, and more than six hundred body bags filled with clothing were made.
Galen didn't want everyone to know about Aragorn's resurrection magic, so he still had to put on a show.
Among the soldiers resurrected after their deaths, some were from the Highlands. Galen didn't plan to return them to their original units, but kept them, preparing to use these hundred-plus men as the backbone to form his own intelligence and shadow unit.
Thinking about Stormwind's SI:7 in the future, it's not just an agency that can collect information. Reconnaissance, assassination, and special operations are all within the scope of SI:7's responsibilities, and it's renowned among the major forces.
And at the beginning of the Horde's establishment, the Warchief Thrall also established a similar agency: the Shattered Hand, which has been exceptionally active in the battlefield.
It's just a pity that the Horde's Warchiefs were changed too frequently, and the composition of the Horde was too complex, with each having its own intelligence agency. At the same time, various events led to the Shattered Hand being distrusted.
The third Warchief was a troll, Vol'jin, the chieftain of the Darkspear tribe. He had been assassinated by assassins from the Shattered Hand dispatched by the second Warchief, so he only trusted his own tribe's shadow hunters.
And the fourth Warchief was the Dark Lady Sylvanas. They were the Forsaken, incompatible with the world of the living, and the Banshee Queen only trusted her dark rangers.
This led to the Shattered Hand's reputation being inferior to the Alliance's SI:7 among the vast player base, and it was even obscure.
However, this shows how important an intelligence agency hidden in the dark is. The most well-known in my Great China is probably the Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard, as well as the eunuchs of the East and West Depots, infamous and awe-inspiring.
Reconnaissance, assassination, activities behind enemy lines, creating chaos. I really need such an organization.
The reason for choosing Highland soldiers is because the base soldiers' battle class is a fixed template given by the Heart of Origin. At this stage, it cannot be converted to other professions by Azeroth's means. I can only look forward to whether the upgraded base in the future can produce new units or allow infantry and riflemen to start class changes.
Let's start with the citizens of Stromgarde who have high loyalty. At the same time, invite Lood Egg Master of Ravenholdt Manor as an instructor to help with training. It just so happens that it's a long-term contract. Galen is also preparing to recuperate and doesn't want to waste the opportunity.
There are five thousand troll prisoners from the Witherbark Village, of which only a little over a thousand are male adults, and the rest are female trolls and trolls who have not reached adulthood. And the more than a thousand troll prisoners from the Kobold Canyon come from Hinterlands, all of whom are adult and have good combat power male trolls.
Although trolls belong to a different race, Galen is not a heartless. He plans to hold a city gate prisoner presentation in the capital of Stromgarde, only using two thousand young adults, while the troll women and children will be transferred to Minas Tirith, where there are enough troops and arrow tower defenses to guard them and make them new laborers.
For the two thousand-plus troll prisoners, Galen plans to activate a new batch of base soldiers, taking five thousand infantry and three thousand riflemen, and assigning a team of priests to accompany the army to form a new Scarlet Legion.
Named: Silver Legion.
Legion Commander: Aragorn.
Aragorn's max-level Devotion Aura provides a 4.5 armor bonus. Coupled with the mana regeneration of the Artisan's Mask, he can continuously assist with Holy Light. Priests can follow into the battlefield without worrying about being instantly killed upon entering.
Sustainable combat capability, truly as solid as a rock.
Galen is already preparing to delegate power to Amor for the Scarlet Flame Legion, and at the same time let him focus on cultivating Omar, Varrokal, and Haynie.
Omar and Haynie both have the potential to become legion commanders or even kingdom marshals, and are even more talented than Amor himself.
Varrokal is more suitable to become a cavalry commander. In the future, when Galen upgrades the secondary main city to a level three castle and unlocks the human race's land warfare king, the knight, Varrokal will be Galen's knight commander.
The premise is that Varrokal can meet Galen's expectations and become an excellent general.
Currently, Galen's several barracks can train a legion of troops in just over a month. There is not much time left for Omar and them to grow.
Now the base population has over thirty thousand people, and there are about sixteen thousand farmers responsible for logistics and soldiers who are primarily engaged in combat.
It won't be long before Galen has six legions, which happens to be enough population for the Heart of Origin to upgrade to level three.
One hundred thousand people!
After upgrading to the castle era, Galen is preparing to stop training low-level human infantry and riflemen. Dragonhawk Riders and Spellbreakers cannot be exposed at the moment, so he will mainly train knights and gryphon riders, these two high-level units.
It's also a good time to save up some money and accumulate enough gold and lumber to use the Power of the Kings. With the trump card of the Power of the Kings in hand, which can summon super-order power, Galen can breath easily.
The buildings in Witherbark Village are all simple wooden houses with no value at all. Galen plans to level them all and build a new sub-base on the spot.
First of all, a portion of farmers must be separated from various places, and then the location of the mineral veins must be explored. However, Galen guesses that the location of the mineral veins is most likely in the area of the cave where the Witherbark Village leader lives.
The task of demolition will be handed over to the Scarlet Flame Legion. After the demolition task is completed, the Scarlet Flame Legion will be transferred back to Hamerfall for garrison, and at the same time, young adults will be selected from the immigrants in Hamerfall to replenish the Scarlet Flame Legion's formation.
Two thousand base soldiers also need to be divided to serve as guards for Hamerfall and Kobold Canyon respectively. In this way, the north will be guarded by the Scarlet Flame Legion, composed of three thousand Highland soldiers and five thousand base soldiers, along with two thousand base guards.
Galen still has less than ten thousand troops on hand. Eight thousand people will be drawn to form the Scarlet Legion. Only a few hundred soldiers need to be left to patrol the Origin Land, so Minas Tirith can still gather a thousand soldiers to garrison, along with the farmers in the city and the newly trained soldiers, enough to guard the four thousand troll women and children.
After arranging everything, Galen issued the order, and everything began to proceed in an orderly manner.
Gandalf led people to escort the prisoners from Kobold Canyon to Witherbark Village. These more than a thousand trolls from Shadra'nor were shocked to see that the human army had occupied Witherbark Village, and even gave up the idea of escaping.
After holding a funeral, Galen submitted the battle report of his occupation of Witherbark Village to his father's desk, and applied for his own prisoner presentation ceremony at the city gate.
Thoras learned about Galen's military action against Witherbark Village in advance through the news conveyed by Amor. He was very happy with Galen's victory, saw Galen's intentions at a glance, and directly agreed to Galen's ceremony to show off his military achievements.
Unlike the original timeline, the original Galen's qualifications were ordinary, completely inferior to another member of the royal family, Danath. Thoras believed that Galen, who had such mediocre qualifications, could not bear the heavy responsibility of reviving Stromgarde, but as a father, he wanted to pave the way for Galen, so he had always held great power, and Galen, as a prince, had little power and few places to intervene.
In addition, Thoras in the later period was too arbitrary and self-willed, ignoring the interests of his country and Galen's desire for power as a prince, and was successfully usurped by Galen in the original timeline.
But now Galen is a transmigrator, and also has the cheat device of the Heart of Origin, and at the same time works hard, is self-disciplined and humble, Thoras is full of expectations for this excellent heir.
He is also consciously paving the way for Galen, and began to cultivate his reputation. Many years of king's life have made him see that the prisoner presentation ceremony is of great benefit to Galen's reputation, so he is very supportive of the prisoner presentation ceremony.
After the funeral, the Scarlet Legion escorted two thousand young adult troll prisoners from Witherbark Village, heading north to Go'shek Farm, and then all the way west along the Royal Road, passing through the kingdom's major towns, and finally arriving at Valorcall Town, escorting the trolls to march around Stromgarde City.
It not only showed off the Scarlet Legion's military appearance, but also flaunted its own force and remarkable military achievements.
Killing two birds with one stone, perfect!
