Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"boom"

The volleys of side string artillery looked so brutal against the dusk background of Quel Tiras.

In the scorching light of the fire, red-hot iron balls roared across the seawater that was already covered with gunpowder smoke, and finally slammed into a pirate ship whose sails had been heavily patched with a warning of death.

The first cannonball accurately shattered the main mast of the pirate ship, but before the pirates on the ship could scream in terror, several remaining cannonballs followed.

Like a terrifying swarm of bees, with just one encounter, the pirate ship turned into a burning sieve.

In the few minutes from being targeted to being destroyed, the pirates only fired a dozen or so shells, while the Lordaeron navy on the opposite side, filled with vengeful fury, fired like crazy, twice as many rounds as theirs.

Or how can we say that pirates can only fight with the wind?

This is the most direct reason. The stinky pirates who think about robbery all day long cannot be the opponents of the navy with daily training and strict discipline on the real battlefield.

The quality of individual soldiers is very different, and the level of cannon shooting is also very different.

The burning North Sea pirate ship began to sink rapidly, and the surviving pirates screamed and jumped into the sea in an attempt to survive.

But what made them despair was that the Alliance Navy not only destroyed their ship with artillery barrages, but even sent out smaller but very flexible fourth-class warships to perform "execution missions."

That damn ship ran over the fast-sinking pirate ship, and Lordaeron sailors holding dwarf muskets stood on both sides of the ship.

A man wore a blood-stained black strip of cloth on his arm to express his condolences to Marshal Barry Westwin. At the same time, the ice-faced female captain raised her left hand, under the desperate gazes of the pirates in the water on both sides. , the captain waved his arm coldly.

"The general has an order! In the name of Marshal Westwin! Leave no one behind!"

After the cruel order was given, the sailors on the deck roared and pulled the triggers of the dwarf muskets, and a "turkey hunting contest" immediately began on the smoke-filled battlefield.

The blood instantly dyed the sea water red.

But this is just an inconspicuous area in the current fierce naval battle.

In the vast sea outside this fourth-class battleship, under the beautiful sunset of Quel'Thalas, the Lordaeron fleet under the personal command of Dailin was slaughtering the good and bad pirates on the opposite side in a furious manner.

That's right!

It's the massacre that happened on the sea!

The battle had begun for thirty minutes, and the pirates had lost at least twelve ships.

The Alliance fleet suffered zero losses. Except for a few ships that rushed too fast and were surrounded by pirates and had to fight a bloody gang-hopping battle, Dai Lin took full advantage of the Alliance fleet's firepower.

In a luxurious gesture that did not care about the consumption of shells, he ordered every gun in his fleet to fire at the highest frequency.

The terrifying artillery barrage caused the sea surface of Quel'Thalas to be filled with explosive water jets. Faced with such ferocious firepower, the poor and weak North Sea pirates were unable to engage in gang warfare, which they were best at.

They couldn't even break through the Alliance Navy's firepower network.

Seeing this desperate scene, some pirates tried to escape, but as soon as their ship fled the battlefield and approached the coast to land, they were hit head-on by a row of infantry artillery.

Dai Lin also arranged the land firepower very cleverly. Once the pirates began to flee in large numbers, Marshal Garithos' land battle position could easily send them to the bottom of the sea.

There were gryphon knights flying around in the smoke-filled sky, and the Wildhammer dwarves used their superb flying skills to fly over and attack the pirates' ships.

They would skim the pirates' decks and deliver bags of dwarf bombs tied together as "gifts" to the pirates.

Dai Lin easily gained control of the air, and his absolute advantage in firepower allowed him to advance rapidly. The pirates could only take a beating, and they were unable to make any effective counterattack.

Compared to the strangling battle between the Alliance Navy and the North Sea pirates, on the outskirts of the sea area, the Nightborne pirates who planned to attack the Alliance Navy from the flanks were also killed halfway by the Quel'dorei fleet using a clumsy but angry tactic. Tangled.

Both sides became red-eyed as soon as they met.

The black-skinned elves destroyed the Isle of Kui and the Sunwell. This news alone was enough to cause Quel'Thalas's toy fleet to burst into astonishing combat effectiveness.

They know that their artillery is inaccurate, so they might as well not use artillery!

Go straight to magic!

Hundreds of elven spellcasters stood on the spellcasting platform specially prepared for mages on the Yangfan naval battleship. They joined forces to block the sea water with magic power to form a vortex to prevent the Nightborne pirates from escaping. They also summoned terrifying meteorites to crash down. Trying to bury the children of the night in this sea that belongs to them.

But the Son of the Night is not for nothing.

Anares' first mate, Grand Arcanist Thalyssra, and her friends used all their strength to perform a "magic counter-wave" on the sea, and finally managed to block the opponent's violent magic offensive.

They seemed to be fighting lively here, but compared to the ruthless strangulation commanded by Dai Lin on the main battlefield, the elves even fought very "elegantly" in the naval battle.

Well, this is a term for high emotional intelligence.

If you have low emotional intelligence

"The tactics of the Nightborne pirates are rigid and clumsy, and they rely entirely on the various magic arrays on the battleships. But the Quel'dorei actually believe more in magic on the sea than in the best weapons they bought from the dwarves at a high price. New naval gun

Those high-quality naval guns handmade by dwarf masters can fire ten rounds of armor-piercing shells or shotgun shells a minute under the control of a skilled gunner. This is much easier to use than any magic.

But your compatriots regard this war art as 'decoration' for their ships. "

On the stern of the Sea King Power, Dai Lin put down the telescope in her hand, shook her head to Mrs. Jin Jian, who was temporarily serving as his adjutant, and said:

"Oh, they are really a pair of evenly matched opponents."

Mrs. Jin Jian was also a little embarrassed.

Perhaps the Quel'dorei elves can be superior to humans in terms of magical attainments, and are not inferior to other races in terms of high-level combat effectiveness, but only in naval combat

Ahem, maybe it’s because elves don’t like playing with water very much?

"The battle seems to be going well, the pirates are starting to break up, maybe we will be victorious soon?"

Mrs. Jin Jian hurriedly changed the topic, pretended to look at the front battlefield with a telescope, and then saw the triumphant progress of the Alliance Navy and made her own "high opinion".

Then he got merciless ridicule from Dai Lin.

The admiral helplessly patted the adjutant's slender waist, coughed a few times, and whispered:

"That was not a rout. The pirates were gathering their formation and disengaging. They realized that their firepower was at a disadvantage and began to switch tactics.

It should be Blake who gave the new order.

My Gina, you elves are really not suitable for the battlefield of the sea."

As soon as Dai Lin finished speaking, a damn space fluctuation erupted at the forward position of the Alliance Navy. The dozen or so pirate ships that had just gathered together disappeared from the sea out of thin air, as if they had been wiped away by a hand.

But in the next moment, they were "thrown" directly into the alliance's forward fleet formation amidst the explosion of space fragmentation!

The pirates seemed to have been prepared for a long time. When the ship fell and splashed huge waves, these scum of various races bit their sailor swords and launched a fierce gang-hopping battle towards the Alliance warships on both sides.

The navy was caught off guard by this attack. Under Dai Lin's frowning gaze, chaos was visible to the naked eye on the deck of the forward battleship.

Hey, if I don’t have enough firepower, I won’t compete with you, and I’ll just serve the hard food!

This is probably Blake's response strategy.

"That damn staff!"

Mrs. Jinjian hammered the railing in front of her and cursed in a low voice, but Dai Lin shook her head and stretched out her hand to signal to the navigator beside her.

The next moment, several flags of different colors were raised from the King of the Sea, and waved several times with different meanings to complete the issuance of the flag command.

Under the surprised gaze of Mrs. Jinjian, a dozen warships arranged by Dai Lin in the second batch to support the forward with firepower immediately began to turn.

"This is?"

The lady looked at her husband with some surprise, and Dai Lin explained in a low voice:

"Blake obviously realized that the North Sea pirates' combat power and morale had been depleted, and whether he wanted to or not, he must now call in reinforcements.

Based on his character, I think there is a great possibility that he will directly send his reinforcements to the vicinity of the Sea King Power in an attempt to complete my beheading operation.

And I will give him a 'surprise'.

Be patient. "

A few minutes later, the same space vibration vibrated near the Sea Kingship as Dai Lin expected. With the loud noise of space collapse, Tol Barad's escort fleet was teleported to the predetermined area.

These pirates from the base camp were obviously well prepared. The moment they appeared, they began to adjust their positions to prepare for a covering bombardment.

However.

"fire!"

Dai Lin, who responded in advance, laughed and waved the command knife, and more than a hundred large and small naval guns on the left side of the Sea King Power, which was like a giant sea monster, fired almost simultaneously.

The terrifying vibration pushed the black giant ship to sway on the sea surface, and the huge gunpowder smoke even formed a smoke screen.

The results of this round of pre-predicted covering bombardment were astonishing.

Although one-third of the shells fired in a salvo were empty due to angle problems, the remaining two-thirds still gave the Tol Barad fleet that broke into the battlefield a "surprise" and "big pot".

After the smoke dissipated, the two ships in front of the fleet, which was set up in a dense formation to facilitate teleportation, had begun to roll over and sink. Another first-class warship had its deck and mast set on fire.

The Tol Barad fleet seemed to be stunned by Dai Lin's pre-predicted "coquettish operation".

They panicked and wanted to disperse their formation, but as Dai Lin waved his command sword forward, the five third-class warships that had been prepared immediately launched Kul Tiras' classic "sea charge" tactic.

The most terrifying thing is that the invincible behemoth Sea King Power also started to turn rapidly at this moment.

Dai Lin also wants to personally join this hunting feast of wolves on the sea.

This scene was completely seen by Blake, who had an overview of the battlefield from a sky-high perspective. The stinky pirate covered his eyes in despair. He knew that the Tol Barad fleet was finished.

Little Xingxing, who was behind the pirates and could only pretend to be a guard because he couldn't go out to fight, was already dumbfounded.

She was shocked and furious and said to Blake:

"Did you specially give your fleet to your father for 'eating'? Why have you suddenly become so filial! This is an operation of catching a cannonball in the face!

Do you want to win or not? "

"Shut up."

Blake scolded angrily:

"Do you really think that Dai Lin is easy to deal with? Do you really think that his rank of admiral is just to put his face on his own face? Watch carefully and study hard. This is the art of command.

But don’t be afraid, we also have advantages. "

"What advantages do we have?"

Little Star complained:

"I only saw us being pushed and beaten by Dai Lin in all directions, as easily and simply as an old father teaching his son, Hey, Blake, can you do it?

If that doesn't work, I'll summon the Thunder God's Throne.

If I rush over and behead your father, he will never be able to defeat me. "

"Haha, our advantage is that we are cold-blooded."

Black sneered, picked up the scepter of Sargeras again, stroked it twice in his hand, and said:

"Dailin was attracted to the target, like a hungry lion chasing delicious meat, but he finally left the main battlefield, didn't he? Then don't blame me for laughing at his forward fleet."

"boom"

The pirate pointed the scepter in his hand on the ground, and used an even greater amount of magic power to forcefully tear open a huge space rift in front of the alliance's forward fleet, which had been entangled by the gang-fighting pirates and was unable to break through.

He shouted:

"Maim! Charge me with your orcs! Let me see the strength of you, the Pirate King of Draenor!"

"Coming!"

An orc roar sounded in response from the dark crack.

With the echo of the desolate orc war drums and the ancient war songs sung by the Mag'har orcs in unison, a group of powerful "pirates from another world" rushed into the sea of ​​Azeroth amidst the roars of one after another.

Black's Draenor pirates, who are best at gang warfare and hand-to-hand combat, make their debut!

Wearing a full set of clan armor and getting himself an orc-style pirate captain's hat, Maimu stood proudly on the bow of his flagship, leaning on the Dark Hand warhammer he got from his brother.

The five ships behind him were covered with howling brown-skinned orcs. The five orcs each commanded their own warships. They had had enough of the boredom on the sea in Draenor.

Now, they return to the wonderful sea of ​​Azeroth!

"Charge! Charge over! Kill them all in the name of Black Shaw's great cause of conquest!"

Maimu roared and waved his warhammer, and the orcs behind him shouted in unison, making everyone in the forward fleet that had been entangled by the pirates change their minds.

"Pooh!"

On the deck of the King of Seas, Dai Lin saw this scene. The admiral spat viciously and cursed:

"Are you going to play the 'duizi' game with me? Come on then!"

"Snapped"

An elemental emblem was thrown into the sky by Dai Lin, and then the sky filled with gunpowder smoke seemed to open an invisible door in the strong wind. Hundreds of huge wind elements fell from high altitude, blocking the front of Maimu's fleet.

"Okay, the Wind Rider has also joined? Awesome! All the bastards who want to kill me have gathered around Dai Lin. Is this a siege network targeting me?

What kind of hatred is this!

It seems that our Majesty the Wind Rider's mental illness is getting more and more serious. Just in time, when I finish this matter, I will personally come to send you on your way!

Go on the road with Ragnaros, so you won't be lonely on the road. "

Blake gritted his teeth and said "praise". There was no need for him to say more. The moment the wind element appeared, the already noisy sea became even more manic.

Before Maimu, who was blocked by the wind element, had time to adjust his surprised expression, he felt the seawater under the boat being dragged forward by invisible hands, causing their already super fast speed to accelerate again.

In the cheers of the orcs, the power of the sea burst out and broke through the siege of the wind element, sending them into the battlefield where they strangled the alliance's forwards.

Behind them, the rotation of the sea water condensed an army of water elements, fighting fearlessly with the wind elements descending from the sky.

This mythical scene, as if it were a battle of masters millions of years ago, completely fell in the eyes of the onlookers.

Seeing that this naval battle has exceeded the limit that mortals can imagine, the Quel'dorei elves who were guarding the king in the palace of Silvermoon City looked at each other.

If both sides are allowed to continue to "display magical powers" like this, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose in today's battle, but the remaining energy aftermath will definitely destroy all the coasts of Quel'Thalas.

What a hell!

How could the decisive battle between pirates and navy involve the elemental realm?

Hey, you guys are going too far!

Who are you going to find to help you fight next?

Do you want to call in a few more gods to add to the fun, you bastard?
