Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The Naga attack is no big deal.

Especially when faced with a ghost ship and brave ghost sailors, these deep-sea soft-skinned snakes howled and rushed towards them, leaving a dozen corpses behind and escaping in a hurry.

Nagas are very powerful, but when their bodies are twisted into this cursed state, their glory and discipline as highborne elves are gone.

In the absence of sea witches or warlords to supervise the battle, these lower-level Nagas can easily collapse when they are attacked head-on.

But the road ahead was not so smooth.

According to the map of Nora, the ancestor turtle, the large area of ​​ruins where Nathalas Magic Academy is located, including the entire inner lake of Azsuna, has become a battlefield where several forces are fighting.

The Nagas hunted the Turtle People.

The Ancestral Turtle hid in the territory of the local elf ghosts, so the Nagas attacked the ghosts of Faronar.

Ghosts are not vegetarians either.

Although they died ten thousand years ago, it was an abnormal death. Their bodies were gone, but their souls were still bound to the earth by a curse.

They are still guarding their city that has been reduced to ruins as they were ten thousand years ago.

These Highborne were once the most skilled legion under Prince Faroldis. They had spellcasters, soldiers, hunters, and even ghost hippogryph knights.

After being attacked by Naga, he immediately launched a sharp counterattack.

They refused to give up an inch of ground and fought with the Nagas in various ruins. They would not die. If their ghosts were crushed, they would be reborn elsewhere. They were naturally extremely brave in combat.

Naga was once driven out of the ruins.

But the deep-sea soft-skinned snakes are almost the most vengeful and vicious species in all of Azeroth. They soon made a comeback, bringing a large number of murlocs and sea giants to join the war.

The Nightborne exiles in the northern ruins also collected magic items from all over the battlefield. They attacked both sides and snatched treasures, which only exacerbated the chaos.

On the contrary, the ancestral turtles who caused all this are still staying in their own camp.

"So you are the broom star, causing chaos wherever you go."

In the camp of the Ancestral Turtles, Blake rudely criticized the Ancestral Turtles in front of him. He was wearing an unknown dark red robe and holding a pretentious command staff in his hand.

Through the Eye of Kilrogg, observing the chaotic battlefield from all directions of the ruins, he said with a headache:

"I still plan to do something in Azsuna, but look at the situation in the ruins now. Thousands of naga and thousands of ghosts are surrounding this wretched place and will knock the dog's brains out.

If I throw so many people in there, I won’t even be able to make a splash. "

"It's not like we provoked the two sides to fight, it was the Nagas who chased us first."

Nora, the ancestral turtle sage, didn’t want to explain too much.

These cunning turtle people set up camp in the territory of the ghosts of Faronar, and they have evil intentions. But if they don't do this, they will be easily destroyed by the vicious Nagas, so there is no reason to reprimand them.

"Dudududu"

There was a noisy sound in the sky. Blake looked up and saw a dozen goblin gyroplanes emitting black smoke, sending the people he requested here.

These noisy aircraft attracted Naga's attention when they flew over.

Several harpoon cannons placed above the ruins attacked them. The foxes flying the plane were not afraid and flew over there and dropped a few goblin bombs.

The small firepower point and the dozens of Nagas inside were blown up and everyone was turned upside down.

A nearby team of high-level elf ghosts also seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and planted their tattered flag on the commanding heights.

It attracted cheers from all the ghosts.

These ghosts who have been bound to Azsuna for ten thousand years will imitate the braying of donkeys. Then the naga will come to fight, and they will be as happy as playing a war game.

There were also some aristocratic ghosts who were not afraid of death and had no time to do anything. They simply took their servants and built a "viewing platform" on the mountain not far away to watch the soldiers and soft-skinned snakes fight each other.

"What good soldiers, they are all mine!"

After Black scolded the ancestral turtle for provoking the trouble, he looked at the well-disciplined Faronar upper elf ghosts with a greedy look.

If there were all such soldiers on the Nag'far fighting for him, with only a thousand soldiers, he would have the confidence to defeat a Kul Tiran warship head-on in a small-scale maritime conflict.

But that’s all for the future.

The aircraft sent over a group of captains and henchmen under the pirates. Blake turned back and tapped the number of people, and said to everyone in front of him:

"All the spellcasters will line up, and the remaining people will be divided into two groups. I have something to arrange."

After the words fell, the orc warlock Evil Eye took a step forward without hesitation, followed by the giant warlock Zarak, the skinny boy Kanrisad, and the ship's doctor Natalie sitting aside, wearing a priest's robe and sulking.

These are the trustworthy spellcasters under Blake.

It's really shabby.

There are only a few spellcasters in such a large fleet.

Of course, there is still a ghost of the Archmage on board the Nagfar, but he cannot leave the ghost ship too far. As for the group of captured Nightborne spellcasters on board the Alpaca, Black still didn't trust them and couldn't be considered one of his own.

The Fado Thunder Spider Elves that surrendered also had the ability to cast spells.

But their appearance is too embarrassing, and they don't look like humans at first glance, so Nathalas Magic Academy will definitely not accept them.

"Hey, Captain, why are there slap marks on your face?"

The orc warlock discovered the blind spot and saw the red fingerprints on Black's cheeks. He cursed angrily:

"Who is it! Who dares to hurt my great captain! I am loyal and must give him a good look!"

"Ahem"

Blake coughed awkwardly and secretly looked at Natalie, who had a cold face next to him. He recalled that he had just peeked at someone changing clothes.

I told you not to watch it!

But unfortunately his eyes didn't obey his orders.

What is the use of these disobedient eyes? I’ll dig it another day! I just happened to be looking for some demon hunters in Azsuna to see if I could get a legendary profession or something.

"Whatever, go change your clothes!"

The pirate changed the subject abruptly and said to the spellcasters in front of him:

"I will take you to a good place in a minute. Everyone else, listen up. Eudora will drive the Alpaca to the abandoned temple bay in the south and anchor there to use it as a base of operations."

"Oh well."

The little fox captain wearing a pirate eye patch puffed out his chest, gave Black a military salute, and accepted the order.

"Maim is taking two ships to the north. There is a ruins of the Children of the Night over there. There are many exiles of the Children of the Night inside. I will send you a guide. You go there to explore the situation first.

Catch as many as you can.

If you can't catch it, build a temporary camp first and wait for others to come to support you. "

Black gave another order to the heavily armored orc Maimu.

Maimu clenched his fists and pounded his breastplate to show that he accepted the order.

"And you, Captain Anne."

Blake finally looked at the leader of the North Sea Fanatics, Anne Bonn, who was wearing a red pirate trench coat and a black eye patch. He pointed to the old pirate and said:

"Take your people to the south and march along the coastline. There are also several elven ruins over there. According to the turtle people, there are children of the night over there who are secretly making golems using the remaining magic of the magic network.

Your mission is to grab those golems! "

The big bad commander made a snatching gesture and said to the old sea dog Annie:

"I will send you the Faldorei, Grayson's ship, and the undead knights of Atumen, and the Nagfar and my personal guards will also follow you.

My butler Moros and my bard Wolf will also be there to assist you.

I'll give you five days to take back all those Sha'dorei Golems! After that's done, go all the way north to support Maimu's plundering operation.

I heard that there was some sort of Prince of the Night in those ruins, and I captured him alive. "

"no problem."

Annie bit open a bottle of wine boldly, took a sip into her mouth, patted her chest and said to the commander:

"Robbing things, we Beihai fanatics are the best at it! With so much support, if we can't get it in five days, I will give up my position as captain."

"Then go do it, now."

Blake put his hands on his hips and leaned on his staff, and said to the captains:

"When I come back from 'further training' at Narthalas Magic Academy, if everything goes well, we won't have to be sneaky on the Endless Sea in the future.

The good times that belong to us are coming soon.

Go ahead and do your work. "

After some encouragement and watching the captains get on the rickety goblin gyrocopter and fly away to the coast, Blake turned around and looked at the three people behind him who had changed into robes.

Zalak is the tallest, with the evil eye hunched over, and the little warlock is the shortest. They are arranged according to size, which is quite hierarchical.

They all wore extremely fine robes, all of which were trophies from repeated plunders, but the robes on the giant magician looked strange.

"Why are you wearing women's clothes? You are so naughty."

Blake complained:

"It's so tasteless. It looks like it's only worn by the Shaldorei elves. I don't know how to find someone to change it. You don't think it's embarrassing, but I still think it's embarrassing."

"There's nothing you can do about it, Captain, I'm too tall."

The troll Zarak also felt helpless.

The straight-backed troll looked at the lady's robe on his body melancholy. He sighed and said:

"The human robes I put on are the same as skirts. Only the elves' robes can barely cover my legs. This thing is of good quality. I asked Eudora to sew it up for me with a needle and thread, and sewed up all the robes that exposed my legs. Living.

Just use women's ones, it's better than nothing.

Besides, why do we need to change our robes? Captain, I don’t doubt your dark wisdom, it’s just that”

"You know shit."

Blake made a vulgar remark and said firmly:

"If you want to learn high-level magic, attitude is very important. Teachers like good students. Clothing represents your attitude when you enter school. Now, this is for you."

The pirate threw the Orb of Deception to Zarak, and even threatened:

"The Magic Academy is full of high-level elves. They hate trolls the most. You'd better keep a low profile. If they discover your disguise, they will probably eat you alive.

But those elves were also cursed.

Your brain is not very normal. As long as you hide it better, there will be no problems. "

After saying that, he adjusted his sinister Corruptor robe, put on the full-covering hood on his head, looked back at the most conspicuous huge ruins in the Neihu ruins, and waved to the three men and one woman behind him. He waved his hand and said:

"Elbow, let's go to school."

——

"What? Five spellcasters came to apply for admission?"

In the principal's office of Nathalas Magic Academy, behind a rotten desk on the half-collapsed, damp and dark floor filled with water.

Dean Alya Blue Moon pushed up her rimless crystal glasses in confusion.

She looked at Tutor Deliana in front of her and asked:

"How long has it been since we had a new student?"

"Uh, ten thousand and three months, six months and thirteen days."

The ghost female mentor wearing a robe in front of her replied seriously:

"Although enrollment letters are sent out to various cities under the Queen's rule every month, I don't know why. I haven't received a reply in ten thousand years.

Dean, do you want to accept these five new students? "

"What's their foundation like?"

Dean Lanyue took off his glasses with the reservedness expected of a high-level spellcaster, summoned a ball of arcane magic power to wipe it in his hands, and said:

“Although no new students have enrolled for a long time, the tutors are very anxious.

But Nathalas Academy is, after all, the cradle of the best and most outstanding spellcasters in the entire empire. We have trained seven magic princes for Her Majesty the Queen, with a long history and excellent style.

We don't accept everyone. "

"I've observed it, Dean."

Instructor Deliana said immediately:

"Everyone has a foundation in spellcasting, especially the female student. She is good at the rare magic of holy light and shadow. She has also found an exquisite balance and is very talented.

The other four men were just a little bit worse. Although they could use magic, their basic skills were a mess.

But how can I put it, the attitude is very upright, everyone has brought their own robes, and they all expressed their sincere willingness to learn, saying that they came because of the reputation.

He can barely be considered a good Kuchiki who can be educated.

It's just that they look a little strange.

He has no ears, his skin is not white, and he is a little short. He claims to be human, but I have never heard of such a race in the Elf Empire. "

"Before the Pandaren Empire sent envoys to visit Zin-Azshari, we had never seen any strange pandaren."

Dean Lanyue thought for a few seconds. She stood up and stretched her illusory ghost body. She did not notice the tomb-like environment of the dean's office around her.

She made the decision enthusiastically and said:

“Maybe it’s a small race.

As long as they are not disgusting trolls, they are loyal subjects of Queen Azshara. Let the administrator and dormitory director Felrich handle the admission procedures for them.

Ah, the long boring wait is finally over.

Finally, new students have enrolled. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, I have to personally prepare a study plan for them. Of course, test papers and homework are required. "
