Chapter 33: Sending Troops to Hillsbrad Foothills

The appearance of the human girl Anveena reminded Galen Trollbane of the elves of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

After the invasion of the Scourge, the elves of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas were severely damaged, and the Sun King Anasterian Sunstrider died in battle. After Kael'thas Sunstrider returned to the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, he changed the high elves into blood elves. After defeating the forest trolls who took advantage of the fire, he would go south to help Lordaeron's largest restoration force, Grand Marshal Garithos, and ask for help from the Alliance.

As a result, the miserable Kael'thas Sunstrider encountered various misfortunes and eventually died in Storm Fortress in Outland.

Galen Trollbane was full of sympathy for this pitiful blood elf prince. Since he had come to Azeroth and became Galen Trollbane, he decided to help the other party, whether from the interests of the Kingdom of Stromgarde or just to save this pitiful prince.

Moreover, it is time to ask the arrogant and foolish Grand Marshal Garithos to return the Stromgarde militia that King Thoras Trollbane sent to him.

Under the leadership of Galen Trollbane, the 30,000 Stromgarde militia walked out of the Thoradin Wall and came to Hillsbrad Foothills again.

During Galen Trollbane's absence from the Kingdom of Stromgarde, Marshal Oslet was responsible for all matters in the Kingdom of Stromgarde, and Commander Amaron was responsible for the defense of the Thoradin Wall.

Lieutenant Varokal reorganized the Stromgarde Cavalry. In the last Stromgarde defense battle, the Stromgarde Cavalry suffered heavy losses, but the results were even more terrifying.

King Thoras Trollbane disbanded the Stromgarde Cavalry for financial reasons and put the horses back on the Arathi Highlands. Now, Galen Trollbane decided to rebuild the Stromgarde Cavalry, recruit the retired cavalry to return to the organization, and capture the highland horses scattered on the Arathi Highlands.

The three ninth-rank warriors who had just surrendered to Galen Trollbane, the Silver Hand Paladin Rex Doom of Lordaeron, the Archmage Ansrem Ruinwevor of Dalaran, and the Great Thief Duke Falcurest of the Alterac Syndicate, went on the expedition together with Galen Trollbane.

After occupying Durnholde Keep, the Kingdom of Stormgard basically controlled the territory east of the river in Hillsbrad Foothills.

This time, Galen Trollbane occupied the East Point Watchtower again and completely controlled the only bridge that could cross the turbulent river.

More than 20 years ago, the Kingdom of Alterac was completely defeated by the Kingdom of Stormgard. The Kingdom of Gilneas and the Kingdom of Stormgard fought fiercely over the issue of the disposal of the Kingdom of Alterac.

At that time, King Thoras Trollbane wanted to obtain the land in the east of the Kingdom of Alterac, which is the land east of the river currently occupied by Galen Trollbane.

But in the alliance at that time, the Kingdom of Lordaeron was the absolute master. In the end, the Kingdom of Alterac was completely annexed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the Kingdoms of Gilneas and Stormgard did not get any land.

This behavior deeply intensified the contradictions between the Kingdoms of Stormgard and Gilneas and the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and eventually led to the withdrawal of the Kingdoms of Stormgard and Gilneas from the alliance.

Who would have thought that the once-powerful Prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Arthas Menethil, killed his father and the king, led the Scourge to sweep across the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdom, and caused the Kingdom of Lordaeron to collapse from within.

Now, Galen Trollbane can easily occupy the land that his father Thoras Trollbane could not obtain.

In fact, Galen Trollbane was not in a hurry to occupy the land east of Hillsbrad Foothills before, just to prevent the revenge of the Scourge.

Although the lich summoner Araki was killed by Galen Trollbane, in fact, if the lich phylactery was not destroyed, the lich summoner Akira could be reborn soon.

At this time, the Night Elf Demon Hunter Betrayer Illidan Stormrage has appeared in the ruins of Dalaran, relying on the Eye of Sargeras to launch a large-scale magic to destroy the Lich King of Northrend.

The Lich King has basically mobilized all the remaining Scourge troops in Hillsbrad Foothills to stop the Demon Hunter Betrayer Illidan Stormrage.

So it's time to encircle the land. Hillsbrad Foothills is the first step in the expansion of the Kingdom of Stormgard.

In addition to gaining land, occupying the eastern part of Hillsbrad Foothills has another benefit, that is, the Hinterlands.

The allies of the Kingdom of Stormgard, the Wildhammer Dwarves, live in the Hinterlands, and the mountain road leading to the Hinterlands is just north of Durnholde Keep in the east of Hillsbrad Foothills.

Occupying the eastern part of Hillsbrad Foothills allows the Kingdom of Stormgard to connect with the Wildhammer Dwarves in the Hinterlands.

After occupying the eastern part of Hillsbrad Foothills, Galen Trollbane led the Stromgarde militia to continue to march westward. After all, the reason for his expedition this time was to help the Kingdom of Lordaeron fight against the Scourge.

"Prince Galen, my stalkers have learned that a large Naga army has occupied the ruins of Dalaran and cleared out the Scourge there." The main action areas of the Syndicate are Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills. Naturally, everything that happened in Dalaran was quickly known to Duke Falconrest, who told Galen Trollbane as soon as possible.

Archmage Ansrem Ruinwevor was very excited after hearing the news. Although he was removed from the Council of Six, Dalaran was the place where he had fought for half his life and had deep feelings for it. So he asked a series of questions, "Naga, why did they appear in the inland? Why did they occupy Dalaran?"

"This is by no means accidental. Such a large number of Nagas appeared in the inland. Perhaps there is some conspiracy. We must go and see." Galen Trollbane knew everything in his heart, but still pretended not to know.

The Stromgarde militia marched forward and encountered a large number of Scourge troops at Hillsbrad Farm.

The present is different from the past. The last time he faced the Scourge's detachment, Galen Trollbane could only rely on the Thoradin Wall for defense.

This time, Galen Trollbane decisively pulled out Tokaral and led 30,000 Stromgarde militia troops to rush towards the Scourge Undead, which was twice their number.

The successive battles have honed the new recruits of the Stromgarde militia and made them grow into real warriors. Facing the undead of the Scourge once again, they were not afraid at all. They held their weapons and followed their prince's footsteps to attack the Scourge.

The people of the Kingdom of Stromgarde were already tough, and with a strong fighting will, the fighting style of the Stromgarde militia was also extremely brave. The warriors wearing red standard armor rushed into the Scourge and set off a bloody storm.
