Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 946 43. Storm in the South China Sea——Additional update for the Silo brothers [515]

The conversation at Black Crow Castle went very smoothly. Lord Ravencrest did not make any other excessive demands except that the Silver Wing Sentinels should not interfere with the Black Crow Legion's attack on Elre'Thalas.

He even took the initiative to withdraw the ground patrol troops of Black Crow Castle to avoid conflict with the patrolling druids near Salmon Creek.

Although this cooperative attitude did not make Malfurion and Tyrande grateful, it at least made them feel goodwill. Lord Black Crow also prepared a small banquet for the guests, but it was declined by the two leaders.

They are all very busy.

And they also feel that it will always be strange to attend a banquet of a group of ten thousand-year-old undead.

After the conversation ended, the two left Black Crow Castle, and Elisana Ravencase sent them to a guard tower on the outermost edge of Black Crow Castle.

From the top of the mountain here, you can already see the spire of the Moon Temple in the mountains in the distance.

"Miss Elisana, have you received any news about my brother recently?"

When leaving, Malfurion Stormrage asked specifically.

Elisana shook her head.

The demon hunter lady who looked at Wenwen weakly said softly:

"I have been away from my compatriots for too long, and it is difficult to communicate effectively with them, but I feel that even our commander, His Excellency the Victim, has not yet received the summons from Lord Illidan.

Otherwise I wouldn't be here. "

The great druid with antlers on his head nodded. He looked at the sea in the distance and asked again:

"When Illidan left, I was still trapped in nightmares and couldn't extricate myself. I heard that he disappeared in a human city in the eastern continent? And you were one of the witnesses.

Can you tell me where my brother went? "

This question made Elisana hesitate for a few seconds.

She raised her head and "looked" at Tyrande. Although she couldn't see the expression on the high priest's face, the hunter's keenness made her feel Tyrande's concerned gaze.

Apparently, the rumors that the High Priest and Lord Illidan have become strangers are false.

Although there may not be love, there is still a friendship between them, maybe not so pure. After all, as his father said, Lord Illidan is a lover.

His emotional stubbornness is as determined as his mental determination to hunt demons.

"I don't know where Lord Illidan went."

Elisana shook her head slightly, throwing away this unnecessary emotion, and whispered:

"But according to the captain, Lord Illidan should have gone to the Burning Legion's territory through the Demon Gate, but he did not go to die.

Although the captain didn't say it explicitly, I think he was hinting to me that Lord Illidan is carrying out unimaginable undertakings in a distant world.

I asked the captain to make a prophecy for Lord Illidan.

The captain told me he would be back.

And we will return with the hope of defeating the Burning Legion once and for all. The captain said that Lord Illidan is the product of the combination of light and darkness.

His soul has very special characteristics, and he will not die in the devil's territory so easily. "

The magician's answer made Malfurion and Tyrande look at each other.

The high priest said softly:

"You seem to trust Black Shaw very much, and it is rumored that he is an omniscient prophet?"

"I will always be loyal to Lord Illidan, Lady Tyrande."

Elisana said expressionlessly:

"But under Lord Illidan, I will choose to trust the captain. He has proven his predictions correct countless times and he has never lost.

If he chooses to give you a suggestion, then I think you should accept it instead of disobeying it. "

After speaking, the demon hunter leaned slightly towards the two leaders, turned around and left, escorted by several death knights.

The hooded Tyrande Windspeaker watched Elisana disappear. She looked back at Malfurion and said:

"Perhaps I should also thank Black Shaw. The Great Druid of the Moonclaw revealed to me that he was able to find a way to save you with the help of the 'Pirate Prophet'.

He helped me bring back the love of my life. "

"But Moonpaw also warned us that Black Shaw is a complex man and he can't always be trusted."

Malfurion blinked and said:

"Keep your distance from him for now, we have too much to deal with. The corruption of Shaladrassil has not yet been cleaned up, the Emerald Dream is in chaos, and the demon is about to return to the world.

Azeroth has been quiet for ten thousand years, but it has entered an era of chaos. "

"Um."

The high priest also looked worried, the wind blew her long indigo hair, and while looking at the Moon Temple, she said:

"Maiev has already taken the Warden to the world of Draenor. Maybe we will get definite news soon. I also have to prepare for a trip to the Eastern Kingdom.

If the demonic threat is real, then we must unite all available forces. It just so happens that Pope Fa'ao has been inviting the Luna Church to send envoys to strengthen communication. Maybe I can go there in person. "

"I will travel to Northrend."

Archdruid said:

"Meet the Guardian Dragon King at the Dragon Sleeping Tower.

Stop by the Grizzly Hills to rally our ancient allies, and maybe make a trip to Suramar. The Children of the Night are also a force that can be united. They possess the artifacts left by Queen Azshara.

That would be very useful in a war. "

"Ellisande will not unite with us so easily. She was an ambitious person ten thousand years ago. There was Queen Azshara who could suppress her back then, but now her ambition has begun to sprout."

The high priest sighed, she didn't want to talk about these worrying issues anymore.

As she followed Malfurion down the hillside, she whispered:

"Malfurion, I heard that after you woke up, Archdruid Staghelm voluntarily resigned as the commander of the order. He chose to self-exile to Ashenvale to take care of the forest, and brought his granddaughter with him. passed.

I asked other archdruids about it, and they were very taboo about it and didn't want to say more.

Is your deep sleep with Staghelm?"

"Shhh."

Malfurion waved his hand and gently helped his wife straighten her hair. He said softly:

"You and I both know about Staghelit's heart and his tragic past. That is all in the past and there is no need to pursue it.

Nature teaches us mercy and forgiveness, and Staghelm's choice is a good thing for everyone.

He is our war hero. The name of 'Kasis' is still spread in the south of Kalimdor. Centaurs and trolls fear him. If war is to break out, we will need him too.

Staghelm was just being too extreme.

He's not a bad person. "

The two of them just talked and disappeared near the Salmon Creek on the border of Black Crow Castle.

After they left, in the shadow of a lookout on the top of the mountain, Blood Mistress Aluriel put down the magic crystal in her hand. She handed the crystal, which recorded all the conversations between the Archdruid and the High Priest, to Ms. Sarain who was standing behind her, and said:

"Send it to Stormfjord as quickly as possible, hand it over to the captain, and then bring it back with his instructions."

"As commanded."

Nazaraine took the crystal, turned around and transformed into a large blood bat, disappearing at the edge of the observation deck.

On the other side of Aluriel, Blood Guard Fandos, who was wearing a very gorgeous red robe, blinked his bright red eyes and whispered:

"Why should we surrender so much to a rude, savage, and despicable human pirate? As long as we sneak back to Suramar, it will only take three to six months for us to have our dark dynasty."

"Don't say that next time."

Oruriel touched the bloody stabbing sword at her waist. She turned around and straightened her lover's collar. She stroked his neck with the sharp claws of her fingers and said:

"If you hear me again, I will have to sew your mouth with my own hands to prove my loyalty to the captain's invisible assassins.

Your mouth can speak sweet words, and it can also make me feel happy, but happiness is nothing compared to survival!

Blackshaw can create us, and nature can destroy us.

I don't want to be on the Uncrowned One's bounty list, and I don't want to provoke a prophet, especially when we are still in Black Crow Keep.

You are so ignorant, my Fandos.

Life in Suramar limits your horizons and completely prevents you from understanding true power.

My dear captain only needs to sit in his cabin and shake his finger, and the king thousands of miles away will bow his head.

As soon as his chair turns, a conspiracy affecting a civilization will begin.

He coughed, which was enough to turn the endless sea upside down.

And when he clenches his fist, your head will fall to the ground. "

The Blood Mistress smiled and patted Fandos on the cheek, and she warned:

"Forget all the lessons you learned under Elisande, you must be humble and serve true power with me. I will not challenge him rashly until he has truly failed for the first time.

There is absolutely no chance of winning. "

——

Black's subordinates praised him desperately. If the pirate himself heard Oluriel's emotional and exaggerated description, he would probably feel embarrassed.

But the pirate would definitely not be shy, because he felt that Aluriel's description was not too exaggerated.

He can indeed do those things listed by the Blood Mistress.

But now, Black is in no mood to find out how his subordinates describe him, because Old Garni has just brought him the latest South China Sea news.

In a cave under a giant vrykul stone sculpture in Stormheim, Black sat by a campfire, with a small rubbish pile opposite him.

And old Garni was standing on the garbage heap, his ghostly eyes turning, and a strange "red cloth" wrapped around his head.

Much like the turbans often worn by pirates.

But this thing is a bit nondescript tied to the head of a slender jaw dragon.

"How about you find a believer who is good at needlework to sew it up? That is Sargeras' cursed vision, something that makes countless demons afraid of it.

As a result, I forced you into a flower headscarf. "

Blake said dissatisfiedly:

"Look at you, what do you look like wearing that thing?"

"Don't worry about me! My followers say I'm so majestic!"

Old Garni bared his teeth, revealing his small file-like teeth. He moved his flexible head around in the air and said to the smelly pirate:

"Do you still want to hear about what's going on in the South China Sea? Just shut up if you want to!"

"Okay, okay, you say."

Blake picked up the wine bottle and made a "please" gesture.

Only then did Lao Gani feel satisfied.

It pretended to cough a few times and said to Blake vividly:

"Your old man is so powerful! His fleet rushed to Booty Bay at super speed and blocked the Bloodsail pirates who were attacking the goblin city there in the bay.

If he was one day late, Booty Bay would be captured.

But he went just in time.

The rich man Riviera Gaz was really bleeding this time. He spent huge sums of money to hire all the merchants and their guards in the city, and defended the city with huge casualties.

After Dai Lin's fleet appeared, they also launched a counterattack.

Cooperating with Dai Lin, they fought a battle with the Blood Sail Pirates' fleet on the sea outside Booty Bay. "

"But with the help of the Fallen Sea Sage, the Blood Sail Pirates shouldn't lose so miserably, right?"

The smelly pirate asked while drinking.

Old Gani laughed and said:

"Originally, there was no such thing. The turtle men of the Tide Order made a loud noise, but when they really fought, they were still no match for those Hai Xians.

However, Dai Lin's fleet has really strong firepower, and they have dispatched the latest gunboats.

That ship was densely packed with artillery. Even without Hai Xian's auxiliary aiming, as long as it was hit by that firepower, the Blood Sail Pirates' ship would be in ruins.

And that old man learned your tactics!

He sent dwarfs to fly planes to bomb the sea, dropping various bombs like rain.

I heard from experienced old pirates that if it were on a wide sea, it would be difficult for such a bombing to hit the ship, but Dai Lin chose the best battlefield.

There was no way for the Bloodsail Pirates to deploy their formation on the sea outside Booty Bay. Their ships could not escape. After three rounds of bombing, at least seven ships were sunk.

Relying on this fighting method, Dai Lin suppressed the Blood Sail pirates from beginning to end.

The Tidal Order also went to great lengths to make a name for themselves. The Turtles summoned the water elements of the Haidashia Legion to block the sea. They also withstood the lightning storm summoned by Haixian to create opportunities for bombers.

But even so, after the first round of naval battles, the Kul Tiras fleet's defense line was still torn open by the Bloodsail Pirates' flagship Devil's Shark.

At least half of the pirate ships escaped. "

"Then what?"

Blake narrowed his eyes and said:

"Based on what I know about Dai Lin, this must be a trap, right? How can it be so easy to tear apart the defense of a reorganized Kul Tiran fleet?

I think it must be a weakness left by that bad old man Dai Lin for my shameful fellow pirates to exploit.

The terrain advantage was not on our side at all, and we were at a loss as to whether we were advancing or retreating, and we were attacked from both sides. The pirates have long been tired of spending so much time in Booty Bay.

How can we use naval methods to ask pirates to fight to the bitter end?

It's crazy if you can win. "

The stinky pirate took a sip of wine and talked eloquently:

"If I were there, I would definitely give up the naval battle with Dai Lin and attack Treasure Bay with all my strength. Dai Lin would throw a rat weapon and it would be impossible to attack the city with naval guns.

As long as the Treasure Bay is breached, with the help of the terrain and Hai Xian's assistance in defending the city, even Dai Lin cannot easily break in. "

"As expected of you."

Old Garni raised his flexible paws and made the following gestures towards Blake, he said:

"Those pirates escaped and ran all the way north, but guess what? The newly established navy of the Kingdom of Stormwind is blocking them near the waters of the Western Wilds!

There was a fleet setting up defenses in front of them, and Dai Lin was chasing after them. Even with the help of the fallen sea sages, the pirates instantly panicked.

It is said that less than one-third of the pirates escaped with the Devil Shark after that, and the rest were either thrown into the sea and drowned, or escaped to the West Wilds, or were captured alive by Dai Lin and hung on Long Beach.

Tsk tsk, the fishmen there don’t have to worry about food these days. "

The God of Garbage Man curled his lips, made a humane expression of contempt, and said:

"It's true that mud can't hold up the wall. I'm still looking forward to them giving Dai Lin a surprise."

"Who says it isn't?"

Blake said with a heartbroken look:

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have any confidence in them. After this battle, the major forces on the sea that are eager to try will definitely cease their activities. Dai Lin once again proved his dominance on the sea.

Even without the help of the Sea Sage, the Kul Tiran fleet is still not that easy to deal with.

Alas, now it depends on whether Gaboa's detour and sneak attack on the Bloodsail Pirates' base camp goes smoothly. I'm still waiting to ask for a bowl of soup from him. "

"You are too cruel."

Old Ghani complained:

"The Blood Sail Pirates just lost the battle, and now you start plotting against them. Are you trying to force the Blood Sail Pirates out of the South China Sea?"

"How could it be? I'm not a cruel person who kills everyone."

Blake coughed and said:

"The sky is high and the sea is vast over Kalimdor, which is a place for them to roam. My colleagues should clear the easy difficulty first and dominate a sea area, and then come to the South China Sea to get a share of the pie.

The Golden Route with Dai Lin in charge is too dangerous for children. "
