Dreams must be had, in case they come true?
The dream was too beautiful. Galen wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth, withdrawing his imagination of the future.
Looking up, the clearing work in the basin was nearing completion. Looking back at Gandalf, he had already completed his work, transporting a thousand farmers through group teleportation, across hundreds of kilometers, from Minas Tirith to here.
Thanks for your hard work, Gandalf. It's mainly to save time. Otherwise, when the town hall is built, a return scroll can directly transport a thousand farmers, all in one go.
It is worth mentioning that after upgrading to a level two main city, the Arcane Vault unlocked new items.
Potion of Life: A one-time item that instantly restores 250 health points to the user, priced at 150 units of gold. (Stock: 3)
Potion of Magic: A one-time item that instantly restores 150 mana points to the user, priced at 200 units of gold. (Stock: 2)
Return Scroll: Teleports the user and surrounding units to a designated location. Priced at 350 units of gold. (Stock: 2)
Ivory Tower: A one-time item that builds a watchtower at a designated location, which can be upgraded. Priced at 30 units of gold and 20 units of wood. (Stock: 3)
The above four items are new products in the Arcane Vault. Since the four item shops were unlocked, Galen has started buying and hoarding them. After they are sold out, it usually takes four or five days for the manufacturers in the Arcane Vault to replenish the stock.
Actually, Galen accidentally tricked Gandalf. Originally in the game, the Return Scroll could only return to one's own town, or a friendly town. But in reality, the Return Scroll is divided into two parts. One is the main body, which can be torn open for teleportation when used, with the default teleportation point being one's own town.
The other is the coordinate stone. As long as the coordinate stone is placed and activated, the Return Scroll will not default to the main base, but to the location of the coordinate stone.
But Galen didn't study it carefully and was only busy hoarding goods. But even if he knew, he couldn't say it, after all, it's three hundred and fifty units of gold.
It's so much better to use Gandalf's group teleportation, it's free, no money!
Moreover, Galen discovered that the Heart of Origin base has its own set of numerical calculation methods. For example, the recovery values on the Potion of Life and Potion of Magic are calculated based on the overall level of the base's heroes.
Gandalf currently only has more than 800 health points, while Aragorn has a little over 1,000 health points, so the Potion of Life and Potion of Magic are mainly used by the base's heroes.
However, the Potion of Life can also be used by creatures of Azeroth. Galen used captured raptors for experiments. Ordinary sword wounds can heal quickly with a gulp of healing potion.
I just don't know how much health the native powerhouses of Azeroth can have using the Heart of Origin's calculation method?
When I pacify the trolls of the Arathi Highlands and the rear is stable, I can start experimenting with the effects of Life Scrolls, Potions of Life, and Potions of Magic on the humans of Azeroth. If the effect is good, it can be used for trade in small quantities at that time.
Another hour passed, the soldiers finished the battle and began to clean up the battlefield. Galen let the farmers enter to help collect spider venom sacs and spider silk sacs. These are all excellent raw materials for alchemy and magic experiments. If I can't use them, I can take them out and sell them, they are all money.
Galen couldn't wait to have millions of gold coins to recharge immediately, and couldn't wait to enter 'greedisgood' immediately, and then enter it again after using it.
He was about to get obsessed with money. Now he is Galen 'Money-Grabbing' Trollbane.
The infantry and musketeers patrolled again and found any spiders that were half-dead and finished them off. The basin was filled with spider corpses. The entire spider tribe was wiped out by the Scarlet Flame Legion.
After several battles, more than half of the earliest two thousand infantry and musketeers had accumulated enough experience to be upgraded to adept tier units. This is a qualitative leap, and the physique and strength will be greatly enhanced.
More than a thousand farmers entered the field, and it took half a day to clean up the battlefield. Spider venom sacs and silk sacs, as well as unhatched complete spider eggs, were collected and placed beside Galen.
The spider corpses were cleaned up and piled up outside the basin. Thousands of spiders piled up into several small mountains, waiting for a fire to burn them clean.
Not everyone can eat barbecued spider legs, although they taste like chicken and are crunchy.
At noon, in the center of the basin, a town hall began to be built. This town hall is not used to collect resources, but mainly because after the town is established in the future, there will be not only base personnel, but also Highland citizens. The town needs a town hall to handle town affairs.
Another point is that building a base's town hall is much faster than building it with stones. It can serve as a town hall and train farmers, killing two birds with one stone.
At the northernmost part of the basin, near the foot of the Alterac Mountains, Galen also deployed a town hall. This hall is used for mining. Galen remembers that there is a cave behind Hammerfall in later generations, just at the foot of the mountain north of the basin.
One farmer is knocking on the town hall in the center, while more than a dozen farmers are knocking on the hall in the north. At the same time, a lumber mill is also being built.
The sooner it is completed, the sooner mining can begin. The excess gold and wood are lost, and the farmers will make up for it by mining one day earlier, after all, it takes too long to build a town hall, one hundred and eighty hours.
The town hall used for mining was completed at night. Galen didn't have to sleep in a tent tonight, and the lumber mill was completed long ago and has been put into use. Except for the farmers who were preparing dinner and setting up tents, everyone else was temporarily logging in the Alterac Mountains.
After having a barbecued raptor party with the farmers and soldiers, Galen returned to the town hall to rest, and the team was handed over to Gandalf to command.
Do you know what it feels like to be rich one moment and have an empty wallet the next?
Galen knows.
That's the feeling of heartache.
It is also accompanied by emptiness.
One moment there were four boxes full of gold coins, yellow and sparkling, and the next moment they turned into a golden mist and were absorbed by the town hall.
Eight thousand units of gold were instantly added to the base's resource list. Combined with the accumulated wood, it was enough to build a thousand farms.
Calculating the time, if Amor leads his troops from Stromgarde to Galen's camp, taking the Royal Road and then turning from the road north of Grashak Farm, it will take at most twenty days.
Now one day has passed, and I must complete the construction of farms and outposts in these ten days. The city wall is just a normal pile of boulders, so there is no need to rush.
A week later, in the center of the basin, the town hall was completed and officially began training farmers.
The entire town has taken initial shape. The cave in the north has officially started mining. The base does not care whether it is a gold mine or a silver mine, and converts everything into gold energy.
Galen arranged for two hundred people to build farms, and five hundred have been completed. One hundred people are building watchtowers and city walls connecting the watchtowers. The progress is relatively slow. After all, the city walls do not belong to the base's buildings. They cannot be completed by knocking on them, so we can only take our time.
More than six hundred farmers have been put into the work of collecting ore and logging.
The remaining one hundred farmers were arranged into the newly built farms to start planting magic wheat. The new farmers trained by the two town halls were also successively added to the empty farms to carry out grain planting.
This third sub-base has begun to produce gold, wood, and food, and will soon be self-sufficient.
Finally, not long after the completion of a thousand farms, Amor led his troops into the patrol range of Aragorn's team. They arrived a few days earlier than Galen expected.
Looking at this team of three thousand people, after marching for nearly fifteen days, their faces were full of dust, but their military appearance was still neat.
The next plan can be implemented!
Hillsbrad Foothills will be mine! More mines! Here I come!
