In all fairness, Zandalar's naval strength is definitely not weak, and it is only slightly inferior compared to Kul Tiras who specializes in maritime affairs.

Although the Golden Fleet's tactics are based on side-to-side close combat, it doesn't mean they don't have long-range weapons.

Different from the usual artillery of Kul Tiras, the Zandalar shipboard weapon is quite ethnic, a fire ballista that looks like a bed crossbow.

In terms of power alone, this Fire Ballista is not inferior to the artillery of Kul Tiras, and it is even better in terms of firing rate.

Unfortunately, due to size issues, the Zandalari's Fireballista can only be placed flat on the upper deck.

The number of Firebolts carried by each ship is far inferior to that of Kul Tiras battleships that use multiple decks to hide cannons.

Perhaps this is why the Zandalari choose boarding as their main strategy.

Sarlayan came to Kul Tiras this time to persuade Daelin to sell the battleship to Quel'Thalas, but now is obviously not the right time.

After a long period of trial and see-saw, Kul Tiras and Zandalar are about to start a real battle with swords and guns, and even Daelin's flagship Sea Throne will join the battle.

"Sharlayan, I know why you are here."

Dai Lin raised his head and glanced at the sails that suddenly started to flutter, and raised his hand to straighten his navy tricorn hat.

"The battle is imminent. I'm not in the mood to discuss business with you right now. Let's talk in detail when we defeat the main force of Zandalar's navy and return to Boralus."

"Sea Majesty is about to join the battle. You are not used to naval battles yet, so leave first."

In fact, Sharlayan really wanted to stay and learn from Kul Tiras' naval battle experience, but judging from Daelin's tough demeanor, this matter might not allow for bargaining.

Don't look at Daelin who seems to be very talkative when dealing with Sharlayan. In fact, his temper is very stubborn. Once a decision is made, eight horses will not be able to pull it back.

Sharlayan had already known about Daelin's character from Princess Jaina, so he didn't waste his time trying to convince him.

"Okay, I'll go back to Boralus and wait for you first, Your Majesty Daelin, I wish Kul Tiras a successful start."

"huh~"

Daelin snorted confidently: "The Zandalari are indeed a good opponent, but we, Kul Tiras, must win in the end."

"Go, see you at the celebration banquet."

"Full sails! All gun ports open!"

"Signage! The time for the decisive battle has come, men of the sea of ​​Kul Tiras! Follow me to victory!"

"oh!!"

...

It didn't take long to change into a griffin and fly away from the King Power of the Sea, and the roar of artillery sounded one after another on the sea.

Looking from the shore, the entire sea area seemed to be dyed red by blood and fire. The battlefield was filled with gunpowder and smoke, and it was impossible to see the situation inside the battlefield from a distance.

"Ahem!"

Tina Gosa waved her little hand in disgust, and fanned away the smoke that floated in front of her.

"Gunpowder is not good at this point, it pollutes the atmosphere too much."

Sharlayan shook his head with a smile, and used druid spells to attract a breeze, blowing away all the gunpowder smoke around his body.

"This is caused by the incomplete combustion of black powder. If the gunpowder is further improved, theoretically, smokeless gunpowder can be developed."

"But this has nothing to do with us Quel'Thalas, after all, we are not following the same technology tree."

In the different world where barrage netizens live, black powder has existed long ago in ancient times.

After thousands of years of changes, black powder has gradually evolved into new versions such as picric acid, thormer, nitrocellulose (collodion), nitroglycerin, and smokeless gunpowder.

Had Sharlayan been born in a country other than Quel'Thalas, he would have invested heavily in research to improve gunpowder.

Quel'Thalas is not very interested in gunpowder weapons, and takes the magical route in the technology tree.

Now that the foundation has been established, Sharlayan intends to continue down this path, replacing gunpowder with activated arcane energy.

The high elves are bathed in the light of the sunwell from birth, and each high elf has a high affinity for arcane magic.

Even if they don't have the talent to become a master mage, most ordinary high elves and civilians can do one or two arcane magic tricks, and they are no strangers to the use of arcane magic.

The finished magic gun that Sharlayan wants to develop is a fool-like design. The holder only needs to use his own arcane power to activate the mechanism of the gun, and the bullets loaded in the gun chamber will be shot out.

The magic cannon also uses the same principle, but the details still need some fine-tuning.

"Hmm... I don't understand."

Tina shook her head in confusion: "Forget it, I don't bother to get to the bottom of it... What should we do now? Go back to Boralus and wait for the final battle to end?"

The scene on the battlefield was completely obscured by gunpowder smoke, and no pictures could be seen even if they stayed here.

"No, it's a rare trip to Kul Tiras, and I plan to stop by to meet my mentor."

"Your mentor?" Tina tilted her head and asked in bewilderment, "Isn't your mentor the leader of the well guards at the Sunwell? Why is it in Kul Tiras?"

Sharlayan smiled and rubbed Tina's hair: "It's not Salorian, it's another mentor who taught me the way of Thorn Whisperer, Great Thorn Whisperer Alpha."

...

It had been several years since the last time I met Alpha, and since then Sharlayan has been traveling all over the world, rarely coming to Kul Tiras.

Even if there was, it was only transferred through Boralus, coming and going in a hurry, and did not take the time to go to Drust to visit Alpha.

Old Bear Alpha is a true Drust.

More than 2,000 years ago, the Arathor people who pioneered the Kul Tiras Islands had a fierce conflict with the local aborigines.

After a long intra-island war, the Arathors...or the Kul Tirans finally defeated the Drust natives and officially became the masters of the Kul Tiras Islands.

In the impression of most Kul Tirans, the Drust like to manipulate the ominous power of death, causing great harm to their ancestors.

The general public doesn't understand the difference between Ulfar and the other Drusts, and sees him as a threat equally.

Before Sharlayan and Orfa met, the old bear could only sit on the sidelines and squat in his cave, waiting for someone who was destined to come to him for advice.

He would tell his apprentices his orthodox understanding of the Thorn Whisperer's balance of life and death, trying to reverse the Kul Tiran stereotype of the Drust.

Unfortunately, his efforts have always yielded little success.

In the entire Kul Tiras Islands, there are only a few hundred Thorny Whisperers who have received Alpha's teaching, which is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Kul Tiras with a population of tens of millions.

Sharlayan's arrival sparked a series of changes.

The royal family of Proudmoore has known for a long time that Orfa, a maverick Drust, has always taken a tacit attitude towards his missionary work.

But that's all. As the victors of that racial war, the Kul Tirans have no obligation to help the Drusts pass on their culture.

Under Sharlayan's matchmaking, Jaina, the little princess of the Proudmoore family, officially met Alfar.

Through getting along with Ulfar, Jaina learned about the orthodox Drust way of life.

It turns out that not all Drusts are as crazy as the disciples of Gorak Tul, who abuse the power of death like them, and there are also orthodox Thornwhisperers like Orfa who always uphold the balance between life and death. working hard.

At the insistence of the little princess, Dai Lin, who couldn't hold back his daughter, reluctantly agreed with Alfa to expand the scope of apprentice recruitment.

At that time, Daelin was just trying to satisfy his daughter's wish, and never thought about the changes this decision would bring to Kul Tiras in the future.

Over the years, with the official support of Kul Tiras, the number of apprentices in Ulfar has increased significantly.

As Orfa said back then, most of the apprentices did not have the talent to become Thornwhispers and balance the power of life and death, what they inherited was pure druid inheritance.

When these druids were taught by Orfa and returned to their hometown after leaving the mountains, they took it for granted that they put the knowledge they had learned into practice.

Over the years, the food seeds of Kul Tiras have been improved many times, and the yield has been greatly increased, and the ability to resist disease, drought and flood has also been increased.

Dai Lin didn't expect that his unintentional actions would bring such a big change to the grain industry of Kurslas.

The people of Kul Tiran who used to rely on the sea to eat the sea gradually took bread and rice as their staple food, and their lives got better and better every year.

Realizing the importance of Druids belatedly, Daelin set up an organization dedicated to managing Druids—Oak Tree House, with Alfa as the honorary member of the organization. leader.
