Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Let's talk about Admiral Dai Lin, who was summoned by Jaina's "Dad Summoning Technique".

After receiving help from her youngest daughter through the iconic anchor necklace among Proudmoore family members, Dailin, who was searching for traces of the Second Fleet on the Endless Sea, immediately took her flagship and several fast ships. The battleship broke away from the Third Fleet.

Fortunately, his location at that time was not far from the foggy sea. After three days of rapid sailing, he was almost sailing out of the foggy area in the South China Sea.

The huge beast-like Royal Power of the Sea moved quietly through the fog. Several first-class battleships formed a sailing queue behind the flagship, using special searchlights to communicate with each other to avoid getting lost in the fog.

Although there are no Tide Sages who can control the sea, the mercenary priests from the Tide Order can still use it.

Driven by their calls for sea water, the speed of this temporary fleet was astonishingly fast.

Of course, Dai Lin was able to pass through the fog so smoothly mainly because Blake opened the fog barrier.

The core of the fog in Yongchun Terrace dissipated, allowing the chaotic time in the fog to be calibrated. Otherwise, even if this old sea dog, recognized as the strongest in the world, dared to stray into the fog barrier, he would still end up lost.

But a smooth sailing did not mean that the admiral was in a happy mood. In fact, after learning from Jaina that the Second Fleet mistakenly entered Pandaria and suffered heavy losses, the admiral had been in a heavy mood.

Not to mention that his only twelve-year-old daughter actually had to serve as the temporary commander of the Second Fleet, hunting down the brutal Church of Storms cultists and pirates, and fighting some monsters called Mantids.

Although martial arts is a tradition in the Proudmoore family, God, she is only twelve years old!

Dai Lin simply didn't dare to think about what kind of problem would happen to Jaina and what kind of blow his life would suffer.

He couldn't pass the test of his wife alone.

He almost lost his son in the war before, and now his little daughter, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, is also threatened by war, which makes him full of complaints about his fate.

Perhaps the price for the Proudmoore family's blessing from the sea is that every member of them will not have a smooth life.

In this terrible situation, the only thing that comforted old father Dai Lin was that Jaina told him that the great pirate of the Endless Sea, Mr. Black Shaw, would help her for some reasons.

And her eldest daughter Fenna will also serve as her adjutant.

This relieved some of Dai Lin's worries. With the help of such an outstanding sister and brother, little Gianna's war journey should not be too bad.

But even so, Dai Lin still had a simmering anger in her heart. These bad things happened all because of the ghosts of the damn Church of Storms and the Corruptor N'Zoth!

This is a conflict with Kul Tiras and the Proudmoore family!

Pooh!

Sooner or later they will have to be raised!

With such ferocious thoughts, Dai Lin opened the door of the captain's cabin and walked out of the stern of the ship. He stood on the railing and looked ahead. All he saw was a gray-white fog, and he couldn't see the way forward at all.

There was also a vast expanse of white around me, as if I had strayed into a world of endless mist.

In such unfamiliar waters, the pilot cannot play a role at all, and no tools can assist the ship in navigation. This is a very dangerous situation. If you are not careful, you may touch the reef because you are not familiar with the underwater environment, or because you are not familiar with the underwater environment. Unable to discern direction and become disoriented, spinning in circles.

At present, the only way to confirm the course while sailing is from the connection between Dailin and Jaina's anchor pendant, which at least allows the Sea King to plan a direct route.

Fortunately, the priests of the Tide Order were able to communicate with the water element and confirm that there were no dangerous sea conditions full of reefs in the nearby waters, allowing Dai Lin's fleet to pass quickly.

Even while sailing in such dangerous waters, the sailors of Kul Tiras still maintain extremely high morale.

The petty officers were patrolling the deck, the sailors were arranging the cables on the deck, and in the cabin where Dai Lin could not see, the gunners were also counting cannonballs and maintaining tools.

The sailors on shift were resting, and the whole ship was in order. Everyone knew what they were going to do, and they didn't need any instructions from the commander.

This is an army full of discipline, and they are almost integrated with the ship under their feet.

This scene made Dai Lin feel a little better, who had been in a unhappy mood since the beginning of this morning. As an old navy man who had been in the army since he was a boy, he liked the scene in front of him.

This made him very proud.

The glory of this fleet was built with dedication by the Proudmoore family for several generations, and in Daelin's generation, this fleet finally glowed with endless sharpness.

Their reputation resounds throughout every ocean in the world. Although they have suffered terrible setbacks recently, as the commander-in-chief, Dai Lin is happy to see that the spirit of his soldiers has not been broken by the disaster.

Instead, he developed a momentum of becoming more and more courageous with every setback.

That's how it should be!

This is the fleet that he is proud of.

"It should be not far from the land."

The admiral was equipped with his beloved command knife and was about to go down to the cabin to see the situation of the soldiers. He walked on the gangway and touched the anchor pendant hanging on his chest with his hand, feeling the information and energy surging in it.

It was emitting a shimmering light, and the rhythm was very frequent, representing the shortening of the distance to the other pendant.

"Ouch"

But just as Dai Lin walked off the deck, a sharp neighing sound suddenly came from the fog. The admiral suddenly raised his head and saw a divine black-feathered falcon flying through the fog and flying above the deck of the King of Seas.

The sudden appearance of the falcon made the sailors on the deck stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered.

There are no such birds of prey in the sea.

Its appearance meant that they were really close to the misty continent.

Although they cannot complain due to military discipline, in fact the sailors on the ship have been under great pressure in recent days.

They are extremely loyal to their general and king, and they are willing to follow His Majesty Dai Lin to the ends of the earth. No matter who the enemy they face, they will not show any cowardice or fear.

But fighting is one thing, dying quietly in a stupid accident in the Sea of ​​Mist is another thing entirely.

However, amid the cheers of the sailors, Dai Lin's expression became strange. He pushed up his tricorn hat and looked at the falcon flying above his head.

He recognized the bird.

He had seen this bird land on the shoulder of his "unfilial son" before during the battle for the Supreme Warrior. It was a raptor tamed by Blake.

And it has a letter in its mouth

"Wow"

Miss Hisali Black Crow folded her wings and landed on the gangway handrail in front of Dai Lin like black lightning. She tilted her head and looked at the admiral in front of her.

Although it was not the first time she met Dai Lin, Miss Black Crow always felt that the general's body, appearance and temperament were particularly masculine every time she saw Dai Lin.

Even though she didn't like humans because of the stinky pirates, as an elf woman, she had an inexplicable fondness for the admiral in front of her.

Well, no wonder Black has been complaining that his father has the best "elf female affinity".

It seems that this is indeed a talent that others cannot envy.

"Shua"

Xisali avoided Dai Lin's hand that tried to touch her head, dropped the letter in her mouth into Dai Lin's hand, spread her wings, evoked the strong wind and disappeared into the misty sky with a whooshing sound.

"This falcon is so handsome, and my son has such good eyesight."

The admiral watched the black-feathered falcon disappear. He rubbed his chin, thinking about how his father, an unfilial son, should have a pet that fit his status.

How about asking the falconers in the Drustvar Mountains to get yourself a falcon to take with you? Not to mention anything else, just for reconnaissance when sailing at sea, having such a falcon is enough to ensure safety.

With this thought, Dai Lin waved her hand and opened the letter in her hand, only taking a glance at it.

"boom"

His hand holding the gangway forcefully crushed the handrail in his hand, and the wooden handrail was crushed to pieces by the admiral.

"Cyrus!"

Dai Lin called her guard captain and first mate in a gloomy tone. Soon, the royal knight captain wearing armor appeared behind Dai Lin.

"Level 1 battle preparation!"

The admiral looked at the precise chart drawn in his hand.

He looked at the fog ahead. The outline of Pandaria was already looming in the fog. His eyes were bloodshot and his words were full of indifference.

"After sailing out of the fog, we turned to the southeast, aiming for Zanivis Island. I received a message from the commander of the Kul Tiras Second Fleet, where the Mantid Queen is hiding with her remnants.

To show the goodwill of the people of Kul Tiran to our Pandaren allies, we will set foot on their soil carrying the head of the Great Queen Shako'sir.

I heard that it is a etiquette for panda people for guests to bring expensive gifts to their homes. "

After saying that, Dai Lin touched the command knife on his waist again, and said to the loyal knight Cyrus:

"In addition, after the bombardment is over, I will command the Marines to land on the island in person."

"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous. We know almost nothing about mantid creatures."

The royal knight persuaded:

"I'll do it."

"Alas, Cyrus."

Dai Lin's tone suddenly dropped, with a tone of conversation between old friends, and she said to her most trusted knight:

"I have to go. That damn great queen hurt my Jaina. If Fenna hadn't rescued her in time, she was almost stabbed through the heart. This makes me feel very guilty.

I was so close to experiencing the nightmare of losing Drake all over again.

I had to do something to make amends. "

The great knight understood immediately.

He didn't want to get involved in Her Majesty Dai Lin's extremely complicated family affairs, so he turned around to convey the order. The silent knight felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

As a loyal minister who has accompanied Dai Lin for decades, he has witnessed the "dramatic changes" in the Proudmoore family almost all the way, and he also feels tired for his majesty.

If he had such a rebellious son, he would definitely beat him to death!

Well.

It seems that you are not married yet?

And I don’t have any plans to get married yet. Well, that’s okay. It’s so cool to be single. After work, I go to Sailor Street to have a good time. Are the dancers not enthusiastic enough?

Or the wine doesn’t taste good?

Why do you have to get married and have children?

Look at Your Majesty Dai Lin, a wild man who can conquer the endless sea, but he can't even discipline his own sons and daughters.

Tsk tsk, it really doesn’t matter if you don’t get married.

As the order was conveyed, the silent and stern Sea King Power seemed to come alive for a moment. The sailors began to prepare for battle under the scolding of the petty officers. The gunners in the lower cabin began to open the shell boxes, and the Marines began to put on armor.

Several other ships also received battle orders, and they also began to prepare. As the sailors watched eagerly, the fog in front of them began to thin, and the legendary new continent was about to unfold its true appearance for them.

And they will use a hearty victory as their first gift to Pandaria.

——

"Your Majesty the Queen, please don't die!"

In a distant place beyond the coast of the Dread Wasteland, on an island near the edge of the fog, the flattering Mantid Grand Vizier was looking at the Great Queen Xak'sir who was sealed in amber.

It was filled with fear.

She thought she had escaped, but as soon as the large-scale teleportation spell ended, her eldest queen fell to the ground in a miserable posture with her arms cut off by a sharp blade and cursed by vicious magic.

The Queen's heart showed signs of rapid puncture.

The vicious sneaker pierced the Queen's heart with a sharp blade at the moment the teleportation spell took effect. Such an injury would be fatal even to the mantid.

Fortunately, one of the queen's favorites, the Amber Shaper Unshuk, was also accompanied by the Great Queen to break out. He was a genius among mantid spellcasters, and was especially good at using Kypar Amber to shape various alchemical products.

The mantid has always inherited the mysterious amber secret technique, which can seal the noble mantid in amber when they are about to die, so that their vitality can be preserved and their injuries can be slowly restored.

"Stop howling! The Queen is not dead yet. She can live for thousands of years! But if you continue to be so incompetent and attract the Pandaren to pursue you, we will die tonight."

The Shaper, who was sealing the barely breathing Grand Empress into amber, turned around and kicked the flattering Grand Vizier. It relied on its favor by the Empress to take over the small breakout team at this moment.

However, the Shaper is not a brainless mantid. After bullying the Grand Vizier, it turned to look at Lord Wind, who was guarding the Queen with an amber sword beside him.

It whispered:

"It's not safe here, Your Majesty.

We must take the queen out of Pandaria before the pursuers come. As long as we find a livable land and plant the seeds of the Kaipa Sacred Tree, the queen can slowly cultivate and our power can slowly expand.

The Queen's great plan has been completed more than half, but the next step across the sea depends on your command. "

"Of course."

The arrogant Wind Lord nodded while leaning on his sword, looking at the desolate island in front of him. This was the place where Mantid exiled prisoners, and it was indeed not a good place to stay.

it says:

"We still have thousands of capable warriors, which is enough for us to complete this journey, but we need supplies. My idea is to go to the Krasarang Jungle first and unite with the savage lizardmen there.

Then, we started our expedition along the route that Pandaren Farstrider Liu Lang took when he left Pandaria. As long as we... Well, what's the sound outside? "

The Wind Lord sensed that something was wrong and rushed out of the house with the Amber Shaper and the Grand Prime Minister. As a result, he saw a huge black ship coming towards us in the distance.

The mast of the huge and powerful battleship that had never appeared in Pandaria hung a flag that made the mantid angry. It was a Kul Tiran!

But why is there a strange blood-red pennant hanging above their flag?

Does that have any special meaning?
