Chapter 16: Transporting the Treasure House Back

After dealing with government affairs all night, Sun Anshe unconsciously spread his light to Stromgarde again, and the golden sunlight penetrated into the Stromgarde Palace.

Looking at the golden sunlight, Galen Trollbane smiled bitterly, because in one night, only a small part of the accumulated government affairs was dealt with. If he wanted to deal with all the government affairs, it would probably take several days without sleep.

Dealing with these government affairs is more laborious than fighting against the lich summoner Akira.

Just as Galen Trollbane stretched his body, a Stromgarde guard came in and reported, "Your Highness, there is a man who claims to be your friend and said that the goods have arrived."

"Okay, I understand." Although he did not directly say his identity, it was obvious that the other party was a member of the Assassin's League, and the so-called goods must be the stone statue of the missing rich man Rivergaz.

Galen Trollbane, who originally wanted to take a break, was instantly refreshed. The treasure house in the statue of the rich man Revigaz was the foundation for the revitalization of the Kingdom of Stormgard, and it must not be lost, so Galen Trollbane decided to receive it in person.

Galen Trollbane led a thousand-man cavalry from Stromgard to the Wall of Thoradin. He had learned from the stalkers sent by the Assassin's League that Jorach Ravenholdt had transported the statue of the rich man Revigaz to Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad Foothills.

The terrain of Arathi Highlands is very suitable for cavalry galloping, and there is a road from Stromgard to the Wall of Thoradin that has long been built by the Kingdom of Stormgard.

It didn't take long for Galen Trollbane to arrive at the Wall of Thoradin.

The battle with the Scourge made the already dilapidated Wall of Thoradin even more dilapidated.

Therefore, Marshal Oslet ordered the 30,000 Stromgarr militia troops stationed at the Thoradin Wall to repair the Thoradin Wall while guarding against the return of the Scourge.

More than half a month is not enough to repair such a huge project as the Thoradin Wall, but it can still be seen intuitively that the mosses have been cleaned up by the Stromgarr militia, and the stones of the Thoradin Wall have also restored their original white appearance.

On the south side of the Thoradin Wall, which is the location where Garen died in history, there is a small camp built with simple tents.

The people living here are definitely not the Stromgarr militia troops guarding the Thoradin Wall, but refugees from the outside of the Thoradin Wall who defected to the Kingdom of Stormgard.

In half a month, the news of the victory of the Arathi Defense War has spread throughout the Eastern Kingdoms, but during this period, only the refugees from Hillsbrad Foothills, which are close to the Arathi Highlands, can rush to the Thoradin Wall to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Stormgard.

Long before Galen Trollbane went to Booty Bay, he had already explained that refugees seeking asylum could be accepted after review and provided with shelter, food and protection.

Galen Trollbane did this to show those refugees who were still waiting that the Kingdom of Stromgard was willing to accept refugees and provide them with good treatment.

Because even if all the refugees of the Kingdom of Stromgard returned, the Kingdom of Stromgard would only have a population of 700,000. If it wanted to compete with the Kingdom of Stormwind in the south of the Eastern Kingdom and prevent the Kingdom of Stromgard from becoming a vassal again, Galen Trollbane must seize this opportunity to increase the population of the Kingdom of Stromgard to more than one million.

Led by Galen Trollbane, the Stromgard cavalry directly passed through the Thoradin Wall and came to the Hillsbrad Foothills.

Before, the corpses of the Scourge outside the Thoradin Wall had been cleaned up, but some black blood traces could still be found.

At this time, the Syndicate had not yet developed to its peak, but had just risen, so the Syndicate had not yet occupied Durnholde Castle.

Durnholde Castle was once the largest orc concentration camp in the Alliance. Hundreds of thousands of orcs were once imprisoned here. It was also the place where the new Horde Chieftain Thrall grew up.

After the new Horde Chieftain Thrall used the shaman spell earthquake to destroy the walls of Durnholde Castle, killed the ambitious Lieutenant Blackmoore, and rescued the orcs, the broken Durnholde Castle was left unoccupied.

The Assassin's League did not really occupy Durnholde Castle, but only used it as a temporary trading place. The Assassin's League's stealth was hidden in the shadows, making Durnholde Castle look like there was no one in sight.

In the process of entering Durnholde Castle, Galen Trollbane, with the keen attention of a heroic warrior, discovered some members of the Assassin's League hidden in the dark. There were no more than ten assassins in Azeroth who could escape the heroic warriors.

In the square of Durnholde Castle, a huge stone statue of the rich man Levigaz was placed in the center of the square.

Galen Trollbane didn't know what means Duke Jorach Ravenholdt had used to transport the stone statue of the rich man Levigaz intact from Booty Bay to Hillsbrad Foothills.

But it didn't matter. Since the stone statue of the rich man Levigaz was already in his hands, Galen Trollbane just took it directly.

The 1,000 Stromberg Cavalry were all directly subordinate to the Trollbane family, equivalent to the Royal Guards and Royal Knights. They would never betray Galen Trollbane, so Galen Trollbane asked the Stromberg Cavalry to directly blow up the stone statue of the wealthy Revigaz, hide the countless treasures blown out in the trailer found inside Durnholde Castle, and then cover it with black cloth and let the Highland Warhorses of the Stromberg Cavalry drag it back to Stromberg.

Galen Trollbane roughly calculated that the treasure house in the stone statue of the wealthy Revigaz was worth at least tens of millions of gold coins.

"Go back and tell your Duke Jorachi Ravenhold that he can come to Stromberg at any time to get the commission for this mission." Before returning, Galen Trollbane shouted to the seemingly empty haystack.

The members of the Assassin's League hiding in the shadows will definitely convey Galen Trollbane's words, and this time his cooperation with the Assassin's League is considered complete.

When returning to the Wall of Thoradin, the 1,000 Stromgarde cavalrymen were almost all towing trailers. Although it looked very strange, the Stromgarde militia stationed at the Wall of Thoradin could not easily inspect the trailer brought back by Galen Trollbane himself.

In this way, the treasure accumulated by the wealthy man Revilgaz in Booty Bay for half his life became Galen Trollbane's.

At the same time, Galen Trollbane asked the 30,000 Stromgarde militia stationed at the Wall of Thoradin to send 5,000 troops to Hillsbrad Foothills to occupy Durnholde Keep.

Although the Kingdom of Stormgarde is unable to develop towards Hillsbrad Foothills now, it will not take long. When the Kingdom of Stormgarde is revitalized again, Hillsbrad Foothills will be the expansion site prepared by the Kingdom of Stormgarde.
