Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 633 186. I am a Kul Tiran, and it is our fine tradition to hang pirates

"We lost the Shudwalker, which was disconnected from the ritual, and a powerful force attacked and damaged it. We lost track of the ghost ship, which has dived into the deep sea."

A low, hoarse voice sounded in a room full of unpleasant smells.

This voice conveyed a bad news to a group of dark witches who were performing weird rituals and dressed up like magic sticks.

"Without the guidance of Shudwalker, the Gilnean fleet cannot stop the ship from diverting its flight. To ensure the victory we promised Genn Greymane and his lords, we must call on the powerful outside lords !

immediately! "

The voice urged again, which caused dissatisfaction among the companions.

"I think you are crazy! The last time you summoned the Moon Eater, it only existed in the material world for less than ten seconds, and it destroyed the village where we were hiding.

If it weren't for that accident, how could we have come to the point of being dogs to the Greymane royal family! "

Another muffled voice, with a wounded throat, retorted:

"If you want to die, you go! I don't take part in this kind of deadly work."

This sentence immediately won the approval of many people in the dark room.

They either made a nasal sound or waved their hands to express their support, but soon, the "Swamp Witch" as the leader spoke.

She came down from the creaking attic, barefoot, leaning on a sinister and gloomy bone staff, decorated with some unknown decorations.

And speaking to his incompetent and timid followers in a human language with a strange accent:

"The failure last time was because we lacked the magic crystals to manipulate it, and now King Jin has provided us with enough crystals!

We've crafted the Gatestone, which now sits on Gilnean warships.

There are hundreds of kilometers away from us, what are you afraid of?

Even if that monster really gets out of control, it can't hurt us! And think more of the rewards of this adventure than such a small risk, my poor entourage. "

The big witch with a mysterious identity sneered, and mercilessly exposed the old background of the group of "forest witches" who looked like human beings.

She shouted loudly:

"Before I joined you, you were just a group of losers who hid in the dark forest and frightened children and old people to grab the leftovers!

The 'black witchcraft' you are proud of is so weak that it can't even kill a mouse!

You are only living on the handouts of those cowards, living like old dogs hiding in the dark, a single bone can make you kill each other.

it's me!

It was I who led you to rise, it was I who led you to sneak attack on that aging lunatic old man, and it was I who brought you real power.

It was I who earned your respect.

You should obey my orders, otherwise I will let you taste the taste of despair before, do you want to go back to the past?

tell me!

Do you want to? "

No one answered her, and no one dared to refute her at this time. The big witch snorted and said in a cold tone:

"Gyn Greymane is not a man to rely on.

The conversation between him and us showed his arrogance and ruthlessness. Maybe we will be killed by him mercilessly after we help him achieve his goal and capture the island.

But listen to me you idiots!

We are perfectly safe until we lose our worth, and when we do, even the most ruthless kings and chiefs will reconsider the meaning of our existence.

Your quarrels are meaningless and bore me.

Now!

Immediately prepare to summon the 'Moon Eater'.

This is the best way we can show our worth to the cruel Majesty Jean.

If you want wealth, status, and respect, you have to get it with your own hands! As long as it is done this time, you will have whatever you want.

Even if it is a secret territory that you can't ask for, Jean will generously give it to you.

That ghost ship is our reward.

Come to think of it, as long as we get that ghost ship that can sail underwater and travel around the world, we won't have to look at Jean's face anymore. "

These words were so reasonable that the forest witches who were arguing in front of them all clenched their hands, and their eyes were ignited with flames.

This in itself is a very simple truth.

It's just that this group of "witches" with too low vision can't understand this level at all.

Speaking of which, weird things like "witches" are not only found in Gilneas.

There are similar legends on the land where human beings exist.

Probably because of human beings' pursuit and yearning for supernatural power, ordinary people who cannot become mages also desire this power, which has triggered legends of witches and wizards everywhere.

But in the eyes of orthodox spellcasters, the so-called witches and wizards are just some poor people who can't walk on the path of orthodox spellcasters, and seek any power they can get without discrimination.

They are limited by aptitude and resources, and the supernatural power they can get is often weak and not worth mentioning. Most of them are "magic tricks" or things related to "curses".

The noble masters simply look down on these frivolous and insignificant powers.

However, the real spellcasters are often far away from the civilians, which gives the witches and wizards room to play tricks.

They are a force between the two worlds of "magic" and "ordinary", the product of the interaction between "knowledge" and "ignorance". Nine out of ten of the "dark incidents" dealt with by the priests of the Church of the Holy Light are related to these unnamed people.

And most of them are bound together with the labels of darkness and evil.

For example, the "Male Heart Witches' Guild" in the Drustvar Mountains of Kul Tiras is a clear example. That damn organization has almost been wiped out by the Vic Reiss family.

And the forest witches of Gilneas are worse off than the flattering Witches of Heart.

These guys don't even have a complete set of dark witchcraft inheritance.

They are a group of poor women who were expelled from their respective villages for various reasons. In order not to be bullied and the pure goal of living, they unite together to pretend to be ghosts.

Well, it used to be.

But the arrival of the "Grand Witch" changed all that.

She is a very ambitious lady.

In the second month after joining the Forest Witch, he led a group of witches who obeyed her, and used the low-level "seduction" tactics in the dark to "sneak attack" the old mage who was exiled to this forest by Dalaran ur.

This "attack" indirectly caused the death of old Ur, who was already old but not old, and stole some forbidden knowledge from Ur.

The reason why the entire Book of Ur was not taken away is also very simple.

The big witch found Ur's identity emblem, and she knew that the bad old man who was very good at playing was the real archmage of Dalaran.

She was afraid that if she took the entire book, Dalaran would be hunted down. With the forest witch's strength, any team of battle mages could easily wipe them out.

But this "big witch" has poisonous eyes.

After reading the Book of Ur, she keenly found the most valuable set of summoning spells, and took it with her to escape to the Black Forest in the Southern Valley of the Wind in Gilneas.

As a result, a failed summoning allowed them to be discovered by spies from the Greymane royal family, and this led to the current scene.

"What are you still doing!"

The big witch waved her bone staff and shouted loudly:

"Shudwalker has been captured, which means summons of the same level are useless to those pirates! Immediately prepare for the ritual of summoning the Moon Eater, get ready, you group of incompetent idiots!"

During her scolding, the witches in the room were in a mess, and the big witch shook her head while watching.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no better choice, how could she be mixed with this group of trash? If she could have three Warlocks from the Shadow Council under her command

Oh, forget it, don't want to.

After Gul'dan's death, the Shadow Council has already existed in name only, and it is already very good that she, a little warlock and dark shaman, can survive the war.

Can't ask for more.

"When I get that ghost ship, I will sacrifice all of you!"

The big witch whispered viciously, then turned around and walked up to the attic, making the final preparations before summoning the creatures from other worlds. At the same time, in Keelhaven, the only large port city in Gilneas, a portal opened in front of the Church of Keelhaven.

Under the curious gaze of the old pastor who was cleaning the ground outside the church, a man and a woman strode out from the portal under the guard of a group of people.

"Longgu Harbor, I really miss it. I was a kid when I came here last time."

Wearing a traditional Gilnean dress, Dai Lin played with the seal on her finger, and looked around at the city in front of her with nostalgia.

Mrs. Jin Jian beside him was not in such a cheerful mood.

She urged in a low voice:

"Hurry up, don't look at the scenery.

Fenner, the wild girl, left me a letter and took the prince's collection, and ran to sea with the pirates. We must bring her back from the mysterious ghost ship before the Gilneans have a fleet decisive battle. ! "

"decisive battle?"

Dai Lin curled her lips and said:

"I don't think the people of Gilneas are going to fight.

With their toy-like fleet, as long as the pirates occupying Tol Barad can fight a little bit, today's naval battle will end in an embarrassing end.

I told Genn twenty years ago that as a Gilnean, don't even think about wandering the sea, the Great Sea doesn't welcome them.

But Gene wouldn't listen to my advice.

It took a lot of effort to get this 'respectable' navy, what is it trying to do? Challenge the supremacy of the seas of the Kul Tirans?

Haha, it's as ridiculous as a baby challenging an adult. "

"Are you going or not?"

Mrs. Jin Jian pinched Dai Lin's wrist and said angrily:

"I don't have time here to hear you complaining about your stupid brother Barabara, that's your daughter! If you don't mind, I'm going back to Quel'Thalas alone now."

"Take care! How can you not care?"

Dai Lin hurriedly comforted her:

"Don't worry, let's go to their military port right now, and we'll sail to the waters of Khaz Modan immediately, okay? Don't be angry."

"It's too late."

Mrs. Jinjian shook her head and said:

"It takes at least four days to travel from Keel Harbor to Khaz Modan"

"In time, ma'am."

The tidal sage Ze Linxiu behind Dai Lin replied softly with a smile:

"We have three high-ranking sea sages here, and the only thing that can restrict our progress is whether the Gilnean warships are strong enough to withstand the high-speed beating of the tide.

If we call the tides with all our strength, it will only take four hours to reach the waters of Khaz Modan from here. "

"Let's go then!"

The elf mage urged again.

Dai Lin nodded to the old pastor behind her, and then, leaning on the sailor sword at her waist, she took several of her great knights and three sea sages and headed for the Naval Port of Dragon Bone Harbor.

Coincidentally, there happened to be a newly launched warship here to set sail for the scheduled battlefield, and when Dailin boarded the ship, Duke Darius Crow Lei, the northern lord of Gilneas, was inspecting his ship "Northern Lord "No.

"Your Majesty Dai Lin, what brought you to this place?"

Seeing Dai Lin appearing, the tall and brave northern lord immediately brightened his eyes. He strode forward, shook hands with Dai Lin, and said boldly:

"Just in time, our Gilneas fleet is going to expel those damned pirates, we have made complete preparations, and this time we will definitely get rid of the shame.

It is a great honor for me to invite the world's best naval commander, that is, you, to witness our victory at this moment. Of course, I also have a small request.

Please, your magical tidesages, summon the power of the sea and send us to the battlefield as soon as possible. "

Having said that, the northern lord said dissatisfiedly:

"I was also supposed to be the commander of the fleet that set off early, but my new ship was launched two days late because the artillery was not in place, and I almost missed the battle.

As long as the elf mages of Narthalas Academy don't meddle in their own business, I am more than happy to drive my new ship and send all those pirates to the bottom of the sea! "

"Hahaha, it's really a soldier's standard speech."

Dai Lin laughed loudly, and waved the Haixians to take their positions.

The new ship under his feet was obviously a warship made by the Gilneans who stole Kul Tiras' shipbuilding blueprints, and even had a poop compartment reserved for the tidesages to cast their spells.

It was completely copied, without any creativity or improvement.

The admiral hid his contempt and disdain in his heart, and said to the northern lord of Gilneas with a smile on the surface:

"I'm a standard Kul Tiran. As we all know, before we die, we Kul Tirans have to watch at least thirty scenes of pirates being hanged to be considered a complete life.

Of course I'd love to see the shameless and vicious pirates crushed by you.

I'm also ready to learn some experience and skills from the Gilneas Navy, well, that's it. "

"I feel that you are mocking us, Your Majesty Dai Lin."

Darius C Luo Lei is a standard fighter.

With a wave of his hand, the most valiant commander in Gilneas, he ordered the sailors to leave the port.

He glanced at Mrs. Jin Jian beside Dai Lin, shrugged and said:

"But you do have the qualifications to mock us. Since you have a beautiful woman to accompany you today, I won't 'trouble' you. Come to the captain's room.

I just happened to explain our tactics to you.

If possible, I would also like to ask you to help us revise our strategy for this war.

We want to win!

We're going to hang the leader of the pirates, we're going to hang that bastard Bu Laike Shaw on the pier to dry, and we're going to put his ghost ship in a museum. "

"No, no, it's a pity to kill them like this.

From what I can guess, the pirate chief named 'Bo Laike' must have a lot of treasure waiting to be collected, and if you want to develop a strong navy, then this is an important source of fleet income. "

When Dai Lin heard Bu Laike's name, her eyes picked up, but she nodded seriously and said:

"If we can catch that shameful pirate this time, I will be more than happy to show you our Kul Tirans' skills in interrogating pirates.

And there will be a place for him in Tol Dago's black prison.

Of course, if I help, I will demand half of the captured pirate treasure from him! "

"It's really greedy, Your Majesty Dailin."

The northern lord shrugged and said:

"Let's talk after the victory, and at most I will give you one-fifth of the 'consultant' compensation."
