McDonald didn't know anything about the outside world. He only knew that if he wanted to lose a lot of money in this world, he would have to rely on burning arms.
Where do luxury goods come from in Azeroth?
No matter how extravagant it is, can it be as luxurious as a thunder dragon mount with 5 million gold coins in later games?
The problem is, how can he afford so much extravagant spending at this stage?
A horse that is generally known as a famous horse can only cost up to 80 gold coins.
"We still have to fight against the Moss Rotten Troll!"
This is by far the most reliable goal!
The Rotten Moss clan belongs to the forest trolls and is a branch of the Amani trolls, one of the three major troll clans (the same troll clan that humans and high elves defeated 2800 years ago).
For nearly three thousand years, Rotten Moss has been separated and reunited with the Amani clan entrenched in Zul'Aman. At this stage, due to the state of estrangement, there is no external support at all.
Unlike other trolls who killed the Moss Clan, Macdonald had no idea how he could make money.
After all, the trolls of this lineage are extremely poor. They are incomparable to the Zandalari trolls in the southern continent. They are all in such a state that their pants are not enough.
Most trolls use junk bone spears and bone weapons, and only a few elite shadow hunters use iron-tipped throwing spears.
The only important thing about the entire Moss Troll clan is the giant altar in the plateau basin. The shape of that thing is very similar to the pyramid of the Aztecs in South America, which is quite easy to recognize.
Break the moss, unless you find some poor human victims, maybe you can also find a few Arathor silver coins, and you really can't even think about valuable loot.
However, the damn Rotten Moss clan is still a tough guy. It is entrenched in a canyon in the mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There is no benefit in fighting, and nine out of ten times out of ten, you will not be able to win, and you have to pay the bounty and pension to the soldiers out of your own pocket. This kind of stupid thing, after the successive Dukes of Stratholme launched three or four crusade and failed, the recent
No one has mentioned it again in five hundred years.
For McDonald, it was a God-given opportunity to spend money.
Fighting trolls is the political correctness of the entire Lordaeron and even the human kingdom. After all, the vast majority of trolls still seem to practice the custom of cannibalism. Some specific troll tribes have been identified as cannibals, including
The targets this time are the Moss Rotten Troll and the Evil Branch Troll.
These cancers don't just settle down. From time to time, they go down the mountain to find someone to beat their teeth as a sacrifice. After eating, they throw them on the roadside, which has a very bad impact. This is why the Beigu area has a good terrain and surrounding resources, but it has become an almost ghost town.
place.
Even a grand duke could easily touch the king's nerves by mobilizing troops at will.
At this time, extravagance was prevalent among the nobles of Lordaeron, and the nobles generally disliked warriors.
Except for this matter...
On this day, King Terenas saw the notification report from Stratholme City.
"Oh? Fight the trolls! The little guy is very energetic. Oh, by the way, let Mograine and Abbendis go and do a little favor. Tell them to remember to protect the little guy from the Stratholme family."
The king didn't care.
Young people always have the dream of being a knight who polices evil and punishes criminals. What McDonald did is easily misunderstood.
As a result, preparations for the war went frighteningly smoothly.
"Oh? The king agreed to the crusade and asked Duke Mograine and Earl Abidis to send 2,000 soldiers to assist me?" McDonald was a little surprised. He did some random things and upgraded the so-called hunting to a crusade. This
Enough nonsense, the king also sent two big guys to help.
At this time, Mograine was just 31 years old, and Abbendis was 28 years old, which was the time when they were most capable of fighting. They were both outstanding men who won the championship knight title in the two knight conferences, and they were quite equal in Lordaeron.
famous.
McDonald touched his chin: "Old man Terenas is very kind to me!"
Among the four silver saints next to him, Saidan rolled his eyes secretly - Nonsense, I don't trust your Stratholme family, so you can let your family guard this place for two thousand years? You are the only one who can call the king an old man.
Uther pretended not to hear, and pointed out on the three-dimensional sand table made by someone: "Your Excellency, our soldiers will be ready in two weeks. But our army has a serious problem that must be solved - we
Shadowhunters cannot deal with trolls. The widest mountain path leading to Zumashal is less than 200 yards, and there are cliffs at least 50 feet high on both sides. If a large number of shadowhunters throw spears on the cliffs, even if we send out tower shield soldiers, we will not be able to deal with them.
Unable to resist."
Shadowhunters are a special class of trolls.
These guys are so elusive that they have the ability of invisibility similar to that of thieves. If they don't move, they will draw blood.
It is completely conceivable that when these shadow hunters set up a pocket formation and wait for the stupid human soldiers to line up into the canyon, once they launch an attack from above, the first person they encounter will die. No matter what kind of shield formation, after a large number of people are missing, the remaining
The soldiers are living targets.
McDonald frowned: "Can't our people climb to the cliff and take a vantage point?"
The relatively low-key Turalyon spoke: "In accordance with the requirements of the attack, we are already recruiting hunters who are better at mountain warfare. But to be honest, the effect will not be very good. After all, in rugged terrain, even high elf rangers will
At best, it’s on par with the same number of trolls.”
Turalyon said it more cautiously, which was like giving McDonald's a vaccination.
At this time, Saidan Dathrohan took a throwing spear nearly two meters long from the Duke's palace guard and placed it in front of McDonald. It can be seen that the throwing spear is quite rough, and the spear shaft is a tree branch as thick as a human wrist.
When it was finished, the spearhead was made of pig iron and was cast a bit crookedly.
But enough.
Unless they are knights wearing hard mithril armor, or even thorium armor, anyone who is shot will have to lie down.
McDonald thought for a while and suddenly said: "If our large army can attack near the altar of Zumashal..."
Tirion Fordring immediately answered: "According to the habits of the trolls, they will return the aid at all costs to eliminate foreign enemies who dare to invade their supreme altar."
The Four Silver Sages began to argue.
"Do you want to use a large shield array?"
"That's a steep slope ten miles long!"
The large shield formation is made by well-trained soldiers holding large rectangular tower shields, forming a tight formation like a turtle shell, and slowly advancing. Generally speaking, this is very useful against enemies who only have light long-range weapons such as arrows.
pity……
That thing requires too much of the soldiers. How can it be so easy to resist a spear thrown dozens of meters high?
In addition, trolls may also have heroic units.
As long as a troll hero jumps down and makes a hole, the formation will collapse.
McDonald did think about borrowing El Chapo's steam tank, but the problem was that it was even more unreliable.
At this time, McDonald suddenly had an inspiration, and he said: "Have you heard of centipedes?"
