Live Streaming: Azeroth

The Kul Tiras Islands are located off the western coast of the Eastern Kingdom, forming an oblique triangle with the Broken Isles and the Zandalar Islands.

The destination of Sarlayan and others' trip was the barren land in central Kalimdor. Considering the impact of the ocean current caused by the maelstrom, the safest and fastest route needed to pass along the southern coastline of the Zandalar Islands.

Kul Tiras has won the Zandalar naval battle, so the war dividends are already beginning to be felt.

In the past, Kul Tiras merchant ships and passenger ships would not have dared to go near the Zandalar Islands to avoid being driven away or even attacked by the golden fleet, and would have to go around a long way.

After the sea battle between Kul Tiras and Zandalar, the Golden Fleet suffered heavy losses, and it would not be possible to recover in less than ten years.

As a result, there is no maritime defense force in the coastal waters of the Zandalar Islands. Ships from Kul Tiras can use this route to travel between Kalimdor and the eastern continent more quickly, effectively reducing the need for merchant ships to travel between the two continents. transportation costs.

But every advantage has its disadvantages.

With the defeat of the golden fleet, the Zandalari trolls could only reluctantly hand over the control of the surrounding waters to others.

However, although Kul Tiras was victorious in the sea battle, Kul Tiras also lost a lot in this fierce battle.

When allocating new ships after the war, Daelin sold many of the new ships to Quel'Thalas under the persuasion of Sharlayan's persuasive tongue. suffer some influence.

Just when the control of the sea area around Zandalar fell into a vacuum, a group of naga appeared from nowhere and tried to occupy this sea area.

Before setting off from Boralus Harbor, Sharlayan had heard about it from the shipowners and sailors who went to and from the docks.

Back then, Sharlayan, Elisande, Farondis and others used the Tidal Stone as a bargaining chip to sign an agreement with Naga Queen Azshara that the Naga would not invade the land again within ten years.

It has only been more than 3 years since the agreement was signed, and Azshara has kept her promise and never let the naga go ashore to harass her.

But that's all.

These naga who are no longer going ashore have turned their attention back to the ocean. On the one hand, they are passionately fighting with the water element in the depths of the ocean, and on the other hand, they are planning territory everywhere on the ocean.

Although Naga is known as an amphibious creature, in fact they still tend to be aquatic. Even if they go ashore, they cannot leave the water for a long time. The sea is the real home of Naga.

As early as after the night elves established Estorante Port in Azshara, Sharlayan learned that their ships had been harassed by Naga for a long time through the complaints of Fandral Staghelmet.

However, in the words of barrage, it is a blessing in disguise.

Through their struggle against the naga, the night elves befriended the Hydraxian water elementals that took refuge in Azshara's Storm Bay.

Since the four elemental realms were isolated from Azeroth, the kings of the four elemental realms could no longer freely travel between the elemental realms and Azeroth.

Ragnaros, the Firelord Lord, took advantage of a loophole.

During the Battle of the Three Hammers more than 200 years ago, Thaurissan, Prince of the Black Iron, saw the situation was unfavorable, and was eager to make a comeback. He planned to use the ancient method passed down by the Black Iron clan to summon fire elements to assist the Dark Iron Dwarves in repelling the enemy.

Ragnaros saw this opportunity and took the opportunity to project his elemental clone into the physical world.

The Black Rock Volcano erupted suddenly without warning, and the once resource-rich Red Ridge Mountain was split into two.

The southern mountains near Elwynn Forest were not affected much, but the entire northern part of the Red Ridge Mountains was changed by the Black Rock Volcano, where the Firelord lived, into scorching canyons and burning plains where there was no grass.

Compared to the Fire Elementals, the Water Elementals led by Neptulon the Tidehunter were not so lucky.

Including the tide hunter himself, the high-level combat power of the water elemental is trapped in the throat of the abyss of the water elemental world, unable to help the free water elementals of Azeroth who have been attacked by Naga for a long time.

In the absence of high-end combat power, the situation faced by the water element in the depths of the sea is not optimistic, and it can only be forced to take a defensive position.

As the saying goes, nothing to do with oneself, hang high.

Since no naga appeared in the waters near Quel'Thalas, and the merchant ships of the high elves had always only traded near the sea, Sharlayan hadn't paid much attention to the issue of maritime safety.

But this situation is only temporary.

As the shipbuilding industry in Quel'Thalas becomes more and more developed, sooner or later, the merchant ships of the high elves will start the cross-sea trade model like Kul Tiras, from Northrend, Broken Isles, Kalimdor, and even Pandaria shipped back local specialties.

However, this matter is not a high priority, and Sharlayan does not plan to intervene in this matter before the Quel'Thalas navy develops its scale.

But he never expected that when he was heading to Kalimdor by boat, he was "lucky" to be attacked by Naga.

According to the captain, the probability of encountering Naga on this route is not high.

The Zandalari's golden fleet was nearly destroyed, but the threat of death was still there.

Normally, even the naga shunned the Nazmir swamps of the northern Zandalar archipelago, unwilling to become slaves of the blood god G'huun.

In the same way, Naga will not approach the waters around the holy mountain of Zuldazar head-on, but often operate in the seas of the Voldun Desert.

The Vol'dun Desert is located in the northwest of the Zandalar Islands, very close to the Maelstrom.

Most ships would not rashly choose this dangerous route, lest they be forcibly towed by the ocean currents of the maelstrom, and be sucked near the maelstrom and be destroyed.

The luck of Sharlayan and others was really "good". They encountered groups of Naga passing by in the southern waters of Zandalar where they should not have encountered Naga.

Yes, passing by.

This group of naga seems to be passing through the outer circle of the mist area of ​​Pandaria, and they should plan to go north to the sea between the Broken Isles and the Zandalar Islands.

The vast majority of Naga were once... or ancestors were night elves living on land.

After Xin Aisari fell into the sea with Azshara, these night elves were transformed by N'Zoth into ugly Naga who were more suitable for the sea environment.

This caused most Naga to harbor jealousy and hatred towards the descendants of elves who still maintained their original appearance. Once they found various elf branch races on passing ships, they would usually attack without hesitation.

Accidentally met a group of unlucky people at sea, and happened to see Sharlayan standing in a daze at the head of the boat. Driven by jealousy, Naga naturally would not let them go, and planned to clean up this lonely ship.

The battle with the Naga at sea is very difficult. These flexible fish tails can easily penetrate the bottom of the ship, making it hard to guard against.

Sharlayan was still standing at the bow, frowning and observing.

According to a preliminary estimate, there are more than 130 naga passing by in this batch. If they are fighting head-on on the deck, Sharlayan is confident that they will all be sent to meet N'Zoth.

However, the high elves are land creatures, and no matter how proficient in water, land creatures are not as flexible as Naga after entering the water, let alone Sharlayan's water nature is relatively average.

"Oni, are you sure you can go into the water and kill these Naga?"

"Hey~"

Onyxia, who had been sitting on the mast overlooking the scenery, finally jumped down and landed beside Sharlayan, flirting with her long black hair on her shoulders.

"There are, but even if I can defeat them, I can't promise to keep this ship."

"Tsk!"

Sharlayan smacked his lips in displeasure: "In a world like Azeroth, where aquatic races and monsters invade the sea, wooden boat bottoms are still not enough. We must urge the major shipyards in Quel'Thalas to break through the use of steel as soon as possible. Ship research."

Even if the ship is scuttled by the Naga, Sharlayan doesn't have to worry about falling into the water and drowning.

After all, in the four-person group headed by him, three of them can change their forms and fly into the sky when necessary.

But if you can cross the sea by boat more easily, why do you have to fly over by yourself?

Besides, this ship was specially arranged by Daelin for Salayan, so if it was allowed to sink under the attack of Naga, it would be difficult for Salayan to explain to Daelin afterwards.

After frowning and thinking about it, Sharlayan turned his head to look at Jaina, who was not very good-looking.

"Jianna, how is your water spell research? Can you imitate water elements?"

Jaina nodded with a gloomy expression: "Yes, but I can only imitate three at the same time. In this situation, it is just a drop in the bucket."

"enough."

Sharlayan ordered resolutely: "You and Tina go to the cabin at the bottom of the cabin together, and each summons a mimetic water element to block the hole dug by the Naga."

"Aoni, you go into the sea with me, and show the tails of these fish, what is deep-water fried fish?"
