Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1457 90. Now, it's time for a strategic shift!

"Oh, it's finally out. It's really depressing to stay in that dark underground kingdom. It's not a ghostly place for us surface creatures to go."

At the entrance of the tunnel leading to the underground kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, Bu Laike walked out of the big pit inclined underground with light steps. North complained:

"Have you observed those nerubians?

They have completely evolved their forms into the weird appearance of underground creatures, even their eyes have degenerated, and those guys' eyes can actually glow in the dark.

It's really scary, the kind that can scare a bear child to the point of crying for his mother. "

Maris is carrying his newly acquired "hunting spear", which is actually a sharp worm horn taken from the head of a defeated crypt lord. He intends to use this thing to replace his Goron bone war spear .

"Isn't this better?"

Maris followed behind Bo Laike, who whispered:

"We don't even need to aim when we hunt them in the dark. Shooting an arrow at those light spots can definitely kill the head. This is an opponent that all hunters like."

"The angle of emmmm is strange, but there is nothing wrong with it."

The pirate rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then gave Maris a thumbs up and shook his hand, but then the pirate's expression became weird. He looked around and said:

"What's the matter with you and that arrogant windwalker? Didn't they both decide to live forever, why don't they even go home together?"

"Uh, this is the mode we agreed to get along with."

Nathanos scratched his head, shrugged helplessly and said:

"Shiva doesn't plan to disclose my relationship with her in the near future. She said that she will wait until the windrunner family's major events are over before talking about her personal relationship. She always does that, and she will put the affairs of the family and the kingdom before her own private affairs.

Occasionally, I also feel that she seems to have married herself to her country.

I'm just her little lover. "

"Well, it's good to have this awareness, it's great, keep this idea."

The stinky pirate took out an uncrowned man's internal positioning magic stone from his arms, crushed it in his hands, and scattered the debris, then picked up his pipe and said maliciously to Maris:

"In this way, when Cirvanas kicks you away in the name of national affairs, you shouldn't feel pain or loss.

Anyway, it seems to me that sooner or later.

However, haven't you asked clearly which side your goddess is going to stand on when she returns to Quel'Thalas this time?

Didn't she say she would be loyal to her country and fulfill the vows of the Windrunner family? If you think about it this way, that chick is determined to stand on the opposite side of me.

Will she sabotage what I've planned in Quel'Thalas? "

"No, I asked, and Shiva said that she would not be involved in the planning and advancement of Alleria and General Liresa, but she seems to have sensed your next move from General Liresa's hint .”

Nathanos explained seriously:

"So she's going back to Elfland to fulfill her responsibilities to her people, she doesn't have to be your enemy, Laike, that's what she is.

For my sake, please don't argue with her. "

"Uh?"

Bu Laike looked at Maris in surprise, he puffed out the smoke ring, and said meanly:

"It's not like something you can say. Sure enough, love can always make people blind. A woman's IQ will drop to zero when she is in love, while a man's intelligence will be negative when he is in love.

All right, for your sake, I'll let her go.

Anyway, I'm not in charge of what happens next, and I won't let you and her fall in love and kill each other.

Speaking of which, are you going back to Lordaeron now? "

"Well, I have finished my official and private affairs in Northrend. It's time to go back and report. His Majesty the King and the Pope are waiting for the news I sent back, although His Majesty Lothar's answer may make them Disappointed and angry."

Nathanos moved his shoulders, and he glanced back at the snow-capped keel wilderness behind him. The ranger general of Lordaeron moved his shoulders, curled his lips and said in a low voice:

"Just right, the military department has dismissed me because I passively commanded the Ranger Legion to stand still in the Grizzly Hills, and I can finally leave this ghostly place in a legitimate way.

Next I plan to apply to join the Dellano Expeditionary Force.

Take a look in the world where you once fought. I heard that a big attack against demons is being prepared there. Even if you go there to do logistics and move boxes, it is much better than staying here and fighting a meaningless war. "

"You are enlightened."

Bu Laike laughed. He patted Marris on the shoulder, took out a previously written letter from his pocket, and stuffed it into Nathanos' hand. He said:

"When you go back to report to King Terenas, remember to deliver this letter to the old king for me. Everything I want to say to him is in it."

"Let me make sure first, this letter is not poisonous, right?"

Lordaeron's Ranger-General squinted and said:

"There's nothing taunting or psychically attacking in this letter, is there?"

"I really want to assassinate him, why do I need to go to such trouble?"

Bu Laike asked angrily:

"Do you know how many eyeliners I have in the palace of Lordaeron?

Don't worry, the letter contains some consolation for the losers in the war and answers to some questions that I don't care about, but the old king seems to care.

I trust that the development of the situation will calm him down when you get this letter into his hands. "

After finishing speaking, the pirate glanced at the distant sky. In the year-round snowstorm of Dragonbone Wilderness, there was a griffin flapping its wings and flying towards this side. It should be attracted by the positioning stone crushed by Braike before. member of The Uncrowned.

"You can go, the next pirate business is not your business."

Bo Laike gave Nathanos a farewell hug, patted his brother on the shoulder, and whispered:

"See you again on Argus, remember to bring more arrows and bullets, there are so many demons that you can't kill them all."

"I'll bring you one too."

Maris laughed, took a few steps back and whistled loudly, and soon a majestic black armored dragon eagle descended from the sky, carrying him into the air and disappearing into the gloomy snow-falling sky.

But the black dragonhawk should be Sylvanas' mount.

Bo Laike blinked.

He thought, so, these two guys said on the surface that they went home separately, but in fact they still want to sneak back to the Eastern Continent together?

Tsk tsk, it really is love between men and women.

It's really nostalgic.

A few minutes later, in the cedar forest near the entrance of the underground kingdom, the griffin that came from afar landed.

A woman in Arathi Highlander scout mail jumped down and took a few steps towards Laike, flipping her palm to reveal a hidden emblem of the Uncrowned.

She revealed her identity to the master.

"What's the situation at sea now?"

Bo Laike took down his pipe and asked with a casual expression.

Madam Uncrowned, who pretended to be a member of the Alliance's advance army in Northrend, immediately replied in a hoarse voice:

"Since Ms. Annie led the North Sea pirates to sack Fearless Fortress a few days ago, there has not been a large-scale naval battle on the Frozen Sea recently.

However, the Alliance Navy held back its energy and wanted to avenge its shame, and has been actively searching for traces of North Sea pirates in an attempt to initiate a decisive battle.

According to your previous instructions, Ms. Anne has ordered the pirates in various parts of the North Sea to retreat strategically, in order to attract the Alliance Navy to Rogue Harbor.

Our companions have sent the exact news to the intelligence system of the Alliance Fleet, and perhaps they will react to it soon. "

"Well, it's good. With the vengeful navy, the pirates playing tricks, and a Bu Laike Shaw who is hiding in the dark and preparing for the fatal blow, this sea looks like it's going to be lively."

The stinky pirate laughed. He thought for a while, then turned around and said to the Uncrowned Members behind him:

"Two days later, let our people withdraw from the alliance army, those who cannot evacuate will pretend to be sick and recuperate, and do not participate in the next battle.

They've been swaggering on our turf for so long, it's time to give them a hard time. "

"As you order, Master."

The member of the Uncrowned nodded, and when she was about to leave, she was stopped by the pirate again, and Bo Laike rubbed her chin and said:

"By the way, help me send a message to the scout chief of the Quel'dorei elves. I heard that guy is a member of the Sangunar family. It's very good. Let him tell him that the favor that the Sangunar family owes me should be repaid." up.

But my friends who are so understanding will certainly not ask them to commit shameful acts of treason.

I just ask them to temporarily close their watchful eyes.

That's all. "

——

While the smelly pirates, the Lich King, and the Elder Ones were "playing together" in the underground kingdom of Azjol Nerub, on the southwestern coast of Northrend, the colonial leader of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Far County, In the Fearless Fortress, several pieces of news from different channels were gathered in the headquarters of the Alliance Fleet, which is currently resting in the Fearless Fortress, this evening.

The arrival of these letters immediately triggered a high-level meeting of the Alliance Fleet.

However, this battle meeting personally presided over by the Alliance Navy Commander, former Kul Tiras Commodore, and now Lordaeron Admiral Barry Weswin, did not stage the scene where the captains spoke freely.

The atmosphere of the whole meeting was very dignified.

The dimly lit meeting room seemed to be covered with overcast clouds, and the aura of the coming rain was weighing heavily on every member of the meeting.

Everyone kept silent, trying to be as serious as possible so as not to look like an idiot.

Everyone also knew the reason for the bad atmosphere in front of them, but no one wanted to mention the matter that was enough to make all the captains of Lordaeron's two fleets feel ashamed.

And their reluctance to speak is not just because of shame, but also because they have more troublesome things to consider at this time.

For example, how to find the main fleet of undead pirates in the frozen sea with complex sea conditions, and give a fucking shot, or how to deal with the damn North Sea pirate's flagship "Annie" in the cold waves? The Queen" dealt a devastating blow.

At least one or two small-scale victories at sea in the last month to cover up the rebellion of the werewolves in Gilneas last time, which caused North Sea pirates to rush into the Fortress of Fearless and plunder at night, almost burning the alliance down. The big scandal at the naval base.

But speaking of it, although this humiliating defeat has become the hottest news in the Eastern Continent's recent circles, but at its root, the failure of that night can't be blamed on the commanders of the Lordaeron fleet.

They really aren't all idiots.

But they really couldn't predict in advance that the werewolves would suddenly rebel.

After the chaos caused by the werewolf rebellion, the Lordaeron Navy's handling was perfect, and the riot was brought under control in just over half an hour. This is absolutely amazing speed.

But just this half an hour was enough for the unlucky North Sea pirates to personally nail the Lordaeron Navy to the sea's pillar of shame with a brilliant plunder.

Really a shame.

Less than three days after Fearless Fortress was looted, a letter of sympathy from Kul Tiras was delivered to the old King Terenas. In that letter, Admiral Dai Lin expressed that as long as Lordaeron If necessary, the Kul Tiras Navy will definitely provide any help.

After all, as the number one naval power in Azeroth, Kul Tiras has the obligation to provide naval experience support to backward countries.

The translation of Admiral Dai Lin's words is:

Everyone lives at sea, you Lordaeron navy should be ashamed!

It is said that on the day of receiving the letter, the old king lost his most beloved cane and a royal desk, and then the old king also wrote a severely worded letter to the admiral.

As a result, the pressure suddenly came to all the captains of the two Lordaeron fleets.

"What are you all doing with a dead face? I didn't come here to ask you to perform pantomime. Listen to me. I didn't come here today to scold you or punish you.

I mean, you guys did make mistakes, but now you have a chance to make up for them! "

At the top of the conference table, Marshal Barry Weswin, who called for an urgent meeting, was very calm.

The dark-haired middle-aged man with some gray hair took off his navy pipe, said a few casual words, and immediately relaxed the atmosphere in the conference room a lot.

The old marshal was wearing an old but neat navy uniform, except for the golden ribbon representing the marshal's identity and the marshal's command knife at his waist, he had almost no extra decorations.

"Everyone, the content of today's meeting must not be circulated outside!"

After the Admiral of the Navy saw that the atmosphere in the conference room had recovered, he coughed and gave the order first. This battle order made all the captains present stand up in unison.

But the next moment the old marshal waved his hand again, motioning them to sit down, and he said slowly:

"Just now, I received a piece of news, a piece of news that surprised me but I couldn't pretend I didn't see it. Three hours ago, the Quel'dorei fleet was on its way back from a routine patrol. Encountered with the main fleet of undead pirates on the coast of Dragonblight.

Unfortunately, the two elves' ships were completely sunk, and they were captured by pirates along with their crew.

But the point is not that.

The point is, the two ships sent a message back to the Elven Fleet Command before they were captured.

The elf crew saw with their own eyes that the main warships of the North Sea pirates who had been 'hide and seek' with us gathered together, and were heading towards the Howling Fjord under the cover of the ocean fog. "

When Marshal Barry said this, he glanced at the captains in the conference room. He looked at these commanders who he personally selected and promoted, of different ages and backgrounds. He said with emphasis:

"The elves have sent me a magical vision to prove their sailors are not lying.

In that video, there are not only the flagship of the North Sea pirates, the Queen Anne, but also the famous North Sea ghost ship "The Power of Jotunheim" and the damn ghost gunship "Sister of Mercy" whose firepower is so strong that it makes one's scalp tingle. No'.

These three ships are the absolute main force of the North Sea pirate fleet, and their gathering together proves that the pirates are about to make a big move.

So I asked our mage friends stationed in Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills. The spellcasters in Dalaran quickly sent definite news that a large number of pirate ships had gathered near Rogue Harbor, the base camp of North Sea pirates.

And small groups of pirate ships have been found in various sea areas and are heading towards Rogue Harbor.

Another piece of good news is that the Second Fleet's first-class warship 'Andorhal' and its two escort ships defeated a pirate fleet composed of five ships off the Grizzly Hills early this morning, destroying three ship, captured two ships, and captured hundreds of pirates who escaped death by the way.

This can also prove that the news of the mages is accurate.

my captains.

I don't know what the North Sea pirates suddenly chose to strategically shrink and gather in their base camp. Maybe it's because I'm too old and I don't have enough brains.

Anyway, I decided to ask you young people for your opinion.

Faced with this situation, what do you think we should do? "
