Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 432 5. The Forerunner in the Storm

The North Sea is also known as the Frozen Sea.

Unlike the perennially frozen sea south of Northrend, the sea here is not completely frozen, and warships can sail freely, but the problems faced in this sea are not easy at all. Compared with other seas in the world, the North Sea The biggest problem is the perennial ice storm.

Even the most experienced navigator needs to be vigilant at all times in this treacherous sea.

Well, it is said that there are powerful and mysterious North Sea sea monsters living here, and the Kvaldir pirates of Hella also have frequent activities here. In short, this is not a land that welcomes outsiders. To be precise, it uses quite Harsh attitude drives away all fools who dare to approach it.

But no matter how dangerous the place is, there is no shortage of brave explorers.

Dark sky, thick clouds, look up, the dark clouds with constant flashes of thunder and lightning seem to stay on top of your head, and icy freezing rain, raindrops between liquid and solid, beat on the sailors If you don't take protective measures on your body, you will be slightly frostbitten within 10 minutes.

The temperature here is very low, and mixed with the sea wind like a knife, you can even feel pain when it blows on your face, but this is not its most violent time. The 30-centimeter notch was one of the scars left on the ship when the storm was at its craziest.

Its steel shell is also full of scars, but it is like a fighter roaming the sea. Although there are countless wounds, although you can tear it apart, you just cannot defeat it.

Commodore Taylor dragged one leg and patrolled the deck. The veteran had a blue and white captain's cap on his head, and his gorgeous thin tassels were already wet, but he couldn't hide his sword-like temperament. They kept bailing water from the deck, and they took three shifts. In the cabin, there was a warm stove and enough food, as well as a small serving of spirits, which was an encouragement to the warriors.

The brigadier general wrapped in a bearskin cloak cast his eyes on the dark sea from time to time. In the midst of the wind and waves, on the sea near Thunder Zhan, "Fist of the Great Chief", that damned tribal ship has not sunk, this is really not a good news.

When he was looking at the Fist of the Great Chief painted blood red, the Orc Commodore Nazgrim was also looking at him. This Orc General was not as well-dressed as Taylor, he just had a button on his head that sailors often Wear an old leather hat to show your identity.

This orc is also not young, he is considered a rare navigator among the orcs. During the period when the old and new tribes alternated, Nazgorin was separated from his tribe in the war and became a guard on the merchant ship of the goblin consortium. He even achieved the position of captain all the way. After Thrall issued a summons, the gold medal captain immediately defected to Orgrimmar. He was regarded as the leading figure in the orc navy.

He doesn't like humans, especially when he received this mission with Kul Tiras and the ships of the Stormwind Kingdom, he even thought about refusing, but in the end, the sense of mission flowing in his blood still made him carry The boys set off and entered the most dangerous North Sea all the way.

Tyler's and Nazgorin's eyes met on the dark tide, and after a few seconds, the two almost colleagues made a provocative gesture to each other before turning away.

This scene completely fell into the eyes of Commodore General Matthew in the poop of the Kul Tiras "Enterprise" battleship leading the front. This commodore, who was younger than the other two, sneered and wore white gloves. He took his pipe from the table with his hands, and then focused all his attention on the shabby nautical chart spread out in front of him.

There are automatic cleaning robots from Gnomeregan on the decks of Kul Tiras, the most powerful nation in the navy. Their sailors do not need to do dangerous work in this kind of weather. In this special mission, the first sea The confidence of a powerful country is fully displayed, not only the crushing of combat power, but also the direct suppression of higher-level naval warfare civilization.

However, when faced with the chart handed over to him by Duke Mograine himself, Brigadier General Matthew still couldn't believe it, so he used this extremely rough chart to enter the dangerous North Sea and explore the two sea charts. A place that most likely doesn't exist?

He seriously doubted whether Duke Mograine sent them to die, but after setting sail, on the first weekend, they found the first iceberg in the sea off Icecrown Glacier, on the edge of the North Sea, due west of Icecrown Glacier. available seaports.

Everything seemed to happen in a dream, but it happened to exist. In that dangerous area wrapped in crushed ice, Matthew, Taylor, and Nazgorin personally landed on that island. It was as big as a city, completely It can be used as the logistics base closest to the Icecrown Glacier for the coalition forces, but it was only then that Matthew understood the true meaning of this sea chart.

Although Mograine didn't directly say what these two landing points will be used for, all of them present are experienced generals. After thinking about it for a while, you can understand that the coalition forces are preparing for a large army battle in the Dragonbone Wilderness. On the other hand, they quietly searched for the meaning behind the landing point in the North Sea.

After truly understanding the mission undertaken by his side, Matthew immediately ordered to pull anchor and set sail, leaving only a handful of mages and craftsmen to build a temporary fort here. There is still a distance from the glacier itself, coupled with the harsh weather in the North Sea, there will not be a large group of undead to investigate, it is simply a perfect place for a surprise attack.

The rest of the navy marched towards the inner sea of ​​the North Sea at an extremely fast speed. Since the first island exists, the second landing point must also exist, and this landing point is on the body of the Icecrown Glacier. The undead's first wave of attack must be equivalent to building an advance base next to the Lich King's throne. Whether it is strategy or tactics, it is of great significance.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

The sharp bell interrupted Matthew's thinking. He grabbed the binoculars, opened the window at the back and looked back. Not far behind the Enterprise, a monster jumped out of the sea and was heading towards the great chief. The Fist bumped past, and the alarm bell just now was sounded by the boatswain of the Enterprise.

It was a blue sea monster. The part of its body facing the turbulent sea was at least 20 meters long. It was huge in size and covered with fish scales and twisted bone spurs. The extremely cold ice flow that came out almost froze the Fist of the Great Chief's hull.

This is the sea monster of the North Sea, the creature that the fishermen say represents the god of death, but it is actually just a huge creature that lives in the deepest part of the North Sea. .

But what it faced was not an ordinary merchant ship. Nazgrim held a blood-red heavy axe, and the first time the sea monster attacked, he grabbed the cable and jumped onto the sea monster. The heavy ax in his hand He slashed at the sea monster's eyes mercilessly, and the severe pain made the sea monster stop spraying, struggling constantly, trying to shake off the little bug on top of its head.

The orc sailors who reacted also opened fire immediately. The large-caliber naval battle cannon bought from the goblin kept roaring, and smashed the red-hot shells on the body of the sea monster. A small gash was left on his body, but the burning pain was enough to make a sea monster, a creature without much intelligence, feel threatened.

Its body was constantly spinning on the surface of the sea, and it used its powerful tail to evoke a vortex below the sea surface. The heavy ax in Nazgrim's hand fell into the sea when he was caught off guard, and he grabbed the top of the sea monster with difficulty. With the sharp horns on its waist, it cut its head open continuously with the ax on its waist. This scene, combined with the lightning and thundering sky and the roaring sea, looks like a picture of "Orc and the Sea" that makes people's blood boil .

But no matter how beautiful the picture is, it can't change Nazgrim's state at this time. It is extremely dangerous. Although the opponent is also a powerful fighter, in the face of the counterattack of the mighty power of the world and the giant beast, it only needs one slip, and it will be gone. It can make him completely buried in the sea, and the chance of falling into the tumbling North Sea in this kind of weather is less than 1%!

However, at the moment when Kul Tiras' naval guns were ready, another golden figure swung out from the "Royal Mission". The sea monster jumped out, holding a slender, sharp, flaming giant harpoon in both hands.

That's Taylor! The veteran who has withstood the test of the Sha of Wrath and built the Stormwind Kingdom's navy single-handedly, at this time, only such a lunatic has the courage to jump on the sea monster that launched the death spin, but Taylor is smarter than Nazgrim The reason is that he was wearing special boots covered with steel barbs. When Taylor landed on top of the sea monster, a brilliant thunderbolt lit up behind him. Relying on the stability of his feet, the veteran soldier would pour water on his hands. Special kerosene, the harpoon that was burning fiercely stabbed the head of the sea monster under its feet.

"puff!"

Under the entanglement of blood-red anger, the long harpoon in Taylor's hand sank into the head of the sea monster, like a red-hot iron needle piercing into the brain of an adult, and immediately there was a burst of stench The blood, the sea monster also let out a frenzied wail, and shook its whole body. Nazgrim couldn't hold on any longer, and with a stroke of his hands, he fell into the sea.

But the next moment, his hand was grabbed by another firm hand, Nazgrim looked up, it was Taylor, this human veteran grabbed his hand, his eyes were still full of disdain, but the next moment, he With a shake of his hand, Nazgorin jumped onto the crushed ice next to him with the strength of his jump.

As long as it is not a symptomless fall, high-level fighters will not die from the fall. Taylor also fell on the body of the crazy sea monster, untied his boots, and with the speed of the sea monster rushing forward, the whole body The person drew an arc of light in the air and fell into another ice floe.

After the two generals got out of trouble, the sound of more than a dozen cannon ejections appeared from the tail of the Enterprise at the same time, and the special conical armor-piercing projectile hit the body of the fast-diving sea monster effortlessly, knocking out its body. More than a dozen bloody holes, followed by another round of precise shelling, completely ruined the survival of this sea monster.

In less than ten minutes, the body of the giant beast floated to the surface.

Nazgorin and Taylor were also sent to the ship. Just a few hours later, when the sailors were tasting the extremely delicious grilled sea monster meat, the tall, cold, and solemn figure of Icecrown Glacier also appeared In the telescopes of several commanders.

There is also the almost suspended staircase carved on the glacier, the thick natural ice cap at the top of the glacier and the cracks that can be seen everywhere, and the ruins of a long-decayed pier.

All this shows that there seems to be traces of biological landings here decades ago, but now, there is no doubt that this place has been abandoned.

The sudden appearance of the sea monster seemed to bring good luck, and the barely marked landing point appeared in front of him in an unimaginable way.
