Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 98 8. Explain what a surprise is!

   The next night passed quietly.

   Under Black's order, the orc warlock Evil Eye took out all his magic materials with a painful expression, including the ones he "inherited" from his former comrade who had been killed by him.

   There were also several soul stones filled with the souls of orcs who died on the Broken Shore, and were also thrown to Daglop the Imp.

   Those collected souls can be used as "experience" to make Black stronger, but the pirates didn't use them all, he kept some as "materials".

   Now finally comes in handy.

  Merry Winterwind guessed what Black was going to do.

   But the old Master, who was calm and calm because of his extensive knowledge, did not intend to intervene.

   This night, the boat sailed on the sea very smoothly.

  Except for the fact that Red's helmsman nearly accidentally bumped into a whale shark that was floating for air while driving the boat, the journey to the south was smooth sailing.

   It has been almost seven days since they left the Broken Isles. The ship crossed the uninhabited sea near the Maelstrom, and will enter the South China Sea within a day or two.

   But under the calm, the undercurrent is still surging.

  When it was almost dawn, Blake quietly appeared on the deck. He was wearing a shadow curtain and walked around the deck like a captain inspecting his own ship.

   Finally in front of the battleship, the edge of the artillery deck stopped.

   In the darkest time of the day, Blake put his hands on the railing and looked at the sea as far as he could see. There was no moon tonight, and there was only a dim sea of ​​stars above his head.

  The dim starlight reflected on the sea, not only did not brighten the sea, but instead filled it with a dull sea of ​​obscurity.

   The ocean will be as quiet as a sleeping lady.

   But it is like a veil filled with darkness, blocking the dark secrets contained in it.

   "The ship is slowing down, we're yawing, and you're brewing something dangerous."

  Garona's voice sounded behind the pirates, and Black looked back, and saw the Orc Assassin dragging a black-toothed orc who was stunned, walking towards the side of the ship.

   "How did he mess with you?"

  Black leaned against the first deck, folded his arms, watching Garona throw the unconscious orc into the sea, he asked with great interest:

   "How many people have you pushed down these days?"

   "He didn't mess with me, he has no enmity with me."

  Garona shrugged in the darkness and complained jokingly:

   "I'm just following our captain's orders to get rid of the restless who are plotting against him, don't you know, our captain is really a lunatic.

   In the past few days, with his tacit approval, I have pushed almost ten people into the sea. "

   "Let him die."

   Black chuckled softly and said:

   "He will be used soon."

   "You really are planning something, let me just say, how could you allow these orcs to secretly rebel against each other. Did you know that they even made plans in secret.

   These orcs are not stupid.

   They have been surreptitiously looking for the unsound Merry Dongfeng for the past few days, and the old mage also told them plainly that he would not help you in the event of danger.

   They are also trying to find me in the shadows, trying to bribe me and give up protecting you. "

  Garona curled her lips and said:

"They, led by a few radical guys, are going to overturn your dominion over this ship for a few days, take it down, and throw you and your Raider clan's legs into pieces and throw it into the sea. Feed the sharks.

   Also imprisoned Reid and Maim, who betrayed the tribe, and then drove the boat back to the Eastern Continent to meet with the Orgrim Warchief. "

   "It's a good plan, full of pirates and orcs, I like it."

  The pirate whistled recklessly, admiring the rebel plan against him. He rubbed his chin, walked to Garona, squatted down, and looked at the black-toothed orc who was knocked out.

Say:

   "This guy is the leader of the rebels?"

   "This is the third one. The first two guys who tried to gather a crowd to make trouble were all thrown into the sea by me to feed the fish."

   Garona kicked the unconscious orc and said:

   "I told you long ago that you can't use this kind of coercion to deal with orcs. If these picky guys are thrown into the sea, not only will they not scare them, but it will make them hate you even more.

  You're sitting on a powder keg that could explode at any moment, so what's your plan? "

   "You haven't been to Kul Tiras, you don't know the rules of our place. On any of our ships, the navigator's status is very detached.

   They can bring the vessel back to port under any circumstances to ensure the safety of the crew. "

  Black raised his head and said to Garona in response to the question:

   "In the country where I was born, the navigators were regarded as heroes by the people, but now, as you can see, these black-toothed beasts disrespect me as the navigator and captain.

   As orcs, they are not very willing to obey me, a human being.

   They are provoking me.

   So I'm going to punish them like a navigator. "

  Black stood up, pointed to the sloping mast above his head, and said to Garona:

   "Now the fixed position of the three sails is seriously deviated, and those black-toothed orc sailors obviously did not adjust the sail angle according to my instructions.

   Maybe they are too lazy to do it.

  Maybe they used this way to provoke me.

   However, the sails twisted at this angle will not be able to absorb the acceleration of the sea breeze, and the speed of the ship is inevitable. "

   He pointed to the sea again and said:

   "Secondly, this sea area is just on the edge of the Maelstrom current, and further south is the place where it meets the South Ocean current. The water conditions are quite complicated.

  The arrogant and irritable black-toothed beasts may have learned a little sailing, but they have come to this sea area for the first time, and they don’t understand it at all. "

  Blake grinned, pointed to his head in the dark, and said:

"but I know.

   In the years before the outbreak of the Orc War, the Kul Tiras Third Fleet, where I belonged, would have a military cruise in this area every year to show off its might.

   Intimidate the goblin consortium, thereby ensuring the commercial interests of the kingdom of Kul Tiras.

   I have been on cruises like this all the time, more than once, since I was a minor.

  I am very familiar with the ocean currents on the edge of the South China Sea. Now the ship is yawed at the wrong angle, which will cause it to be "entangled" by the current on the edge of the maelstrom. To put it simply, the ship has now started to circle in place. "

  The pirate stretched out his fingers and made a circular motion. He folded his arms, glanced at the dark sea ahead, and said:

   "Going down at the current speed, in four hours, the ship's course will veer to a very subtle point, and her speed will drop below 7 knots.

   According to the distance between me and the 'friends' chasing behind me these days, as long as the chasing Hablon and his Nagfar are a little stronger.

   At most this evening, the keel battleship full of dead people will appear within the sight of these black-toothed orcs.

   Those brutal Kvaldir mist warriors in the Underworld are the 'pointer' in my hands, and they will teach these black-toothed orcs who plan to rebel against me a lesson that will be remembered for a lifetime. "

   "Too risky."

  The legendary assassin frowned and glanced at the silent deck and the cabin where there was a deep snoring, and she said:

  "This is not land, and this ship is so big, once it is attacked and damaged, we will become living targets in this sea, and we will not even have the chance to retreat.

What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?

   Did I say something wrong? "

   Before Garona finished speaking, she saw Blake staring at her strangely, which made the legendary assassin realize that she might have said something stupid, and she asked a question instead.

The    pirate shook his head and explained:

   "You really don't know anything about naval warfare, right? I took you on the Nagfar myself, and we all know what happened to that ship.

  I ask you, did you see an underwater ram in front of that keeled battleship?

No!

   Does it have artillery on its decaying deck?

No!

   It still uses vrykul harpoon guns, which don't have the range to match the ship's guns.

   That ship is a 'transport ship' used by Hela to transport souls to hell. Although it looks terrible and can travel underwater, it is not a assault ship for melee combat.

   It won't rush up from under the sea at close range, give our ship a salt-fish attack and leave us paralyzed on the surface.

  It doesn't have that function at all!

  Habloon, as long as he is in his right mind, would not carry out such a dangerous tactic that could damage the structure of the Nagfar.

   So as long as the orcs stand up to the first wave of Kvaldir Mist Warriors rushing aboard, we have a good chance of disengaging. "

   "But what if the orcs can't stand it?"

   Garona asked back:

   "Those half-giant undead only look at their bodies, and their power is far higher than that of orcs. As long as a few half-giants rush into the boat, we will also be entangled, as you said before.

  The Nagfar does not rely on the sea breeze to accelerate, and once it is bitten, we will be powerless to escape. "

   "So while teaching the orcs a lesson, I have to create some trouble for Hablon's hellish ship, don't worry, I have already arranged this."

  Black waved his hand and said to Garona:

   "When the battle begins, I need you to protect the masts and sails of this ship, the Raiders under the Evil Eye will help you, and try not to let the Kvaldir destroy them.

  This place is very close to the South China Sea. As long as this ship is not sunk by Hablong, some ships will be 'exchanged' for us on the South China Sea Trade Road. "

  Black let out a sigh of relief. He told Garona of all his battle plans, and said to the legendary assassin:

   "This plan looks risky, but it's worth it. I don't have time to correct the mentality of these stupid and grumpy black-toothed orcs, only make them really aware of the situation they face.

   This is an "education of love".

  After this small "discipline", as long as these rebellious orcs can survive, they will become obedient for a long time.

  I need this obedience very much for the rest of our journey.

   But if my adventure is lost, and the ship is captured by Habron, you will be free, Lady Garona, and you will not have to pay my debt of favor.

   You must have a way to escape, so don't hesitate. "

  Blake grinned, waved to Garona, put on a captain's style, put his hands behind his back, and went back to the **** leisurely.

  The legendary assassin shrugged, glanced at the unconscious rebel leader under his feet, and did not push him off the side of the ship, but quietly disappeared in the floating shadow.

   Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

   Until seven hours later, in the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly, behind the battleship full of orcs, on the sea nearly twenty nautical miles, the sound of a giant beast swallowing water suddenly sounded.

   The Nagfar, which has not been seen for a long time, is like a giant whale jumping up from the bottom of the sea.

  Hablon, who was holding a soul-inducing lamp, stood on the deck of this keeled battleship as before.

   He held the Soul Retreating Scythe and looked at the ship at the end of his line of sight that was unaware of the approaching danger with indifferent eyes.

  Habron raised the soul lamp in his hand.

   A large strand of gray mist roared with his will and escaped from the hull of the Nagfar, like a tumbling mist dragon, roaring and shrouding the sea in all directions.

  The cold and damp mist blocked the sunlight, and in that ominous gray mist, the misty pirates who had long been impatient, raised their heads to the sky and let out tyrannical laughter.

  The captain of the Kvaldir Legion, holding a pale white keel horn, blew in the mist, and the low sound of the horn echoed on the sea where the wind was blowing.

One after another, tall half-giant necromancers, holding corroded halberds, shouted their horns, and pushed the small and slender dragon-headed longships full of vrykul characteristics into the sea. Light lantern.

   "The betrayer is ahead!"

   These warriors in **** shouted loudly to each other:

   "In the Queen's name! Take their souls back! We will adorn our ships with the blood-stained heads of the living! Rush up!"

   Plunder!

   Plunder! !

  Kill them all! "
