Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 98 8. Explain what a surprise is!

The rest of the night passed quietly.

Under Bu Laike's order, the orc warlock Xieyan took out all his magic materials, including those he "inherited" from his former companion who was killed by him.

Several soulstones filled with the souls of orcs who died in battle on the Broken Shore were also thrown to Daglop the imp.

Those collected souls can be used as "experience" to make Bo Laike stronger, but the pirate didn't use all of them, he kept some as "materials".

Now it finally comes in handy.

Meili Dongfeng guessed what Laike was going to do.

However, the old mage, who was calm about Buddhism because of his extensive experience, did not intend to intervene in it.

That night, the ship sailed on the sea very smoothly.

Except for the helmsman under Red's command who almost accidentally bumped into a whale shark floating up to take a breath while driving the boat, the journey southward was uneventful.

At this time, almost seven days had passed since they left the Broken Isles. The ship had crossed the uninhabited sea near the maelstrom, and would enter the South China Sea in a day or two.

But under the calm, the undercurrent is still surging.

When it was almost dawn, Laike quietly appeared on the deck. He was wearing a shadow veil and walked around the deck like a captain inspecting his own ship.

Finally, in front of the battleship, the edge of the artillery deck came to a halt.

During the darkest time of the day, Laike put his hands on the railing and looked out to the sea as far as he could see. There was no moon tonight, and there was only a dim sea of ​​stars above his head.

The dim starlight reflected on the surface of the sea, not only did not brighten the surface of the sea, but filled it with obscurity like a lightless sea.

This ocean is as quiet as a sleeping lady.

But it is also like a curtain filled with darkness, hiding the dark secrets contained within.

"The ship is slowing down, we're going off course, and you've got something dangerous going on."

Garona's voice sounded behind the pirate, and Laike looked back, and saw the half-orc assassin dragging a black-toothed orc who had been knocked unconscious, walking towards the side of the ship.

"How did he bother you?"

Bu Laike leaned against the edge of the first deck, folded his arms, and watched Garona throw the unconscious orc into the sea. He asked with great interest:

"How many people have you pushed down these days?"

"He didn't mess with me, he has no grievances with me."

Garona shrugged in the darkness of night, and complained jokingly:

"I'm just carrying out our captain's order to get rid of the restless people who plot against him, you don't know, our captain is really crazy.

In the past few days, with his tacit approval, I have pushed nearly ten people into the sea. "

"Leave him alive."

Bo Laike chuckled under his breath and said:

"He'll be of use soon."

"You are really planning something, let me tell you, how could you let these orcs secretly join forces to rebel. Do you know that they even secretly planned.

These orcs are not stupid.

They have been sneaking around to confirm with Meili Dongfeng, who is out of his mind these past few days, and the old mage also told them clearly that he will not help you in case of danger.

They are also trying to find me in the shadows, trying to bribe me to give up protecting you. "

Garona curled her lips and said:

"They, under the leadership of a few radical guys, are going to overthrow your rule over this ship in the past few days, seize the ship, dismember you and your gangsters from the plundering clan, and throw them into the sea Feed the sharks.

Red and Maim, who had betrayed the tribe, should also be imprisoned together, and then they would drive the boat back to the eastern continent to join Chief Orgrim. "

"This plan is good, full of pirate and orc styles, I like it."

The pirate whistled heartlessly, admiring the rebellious plan against him. He rubbed his chin, walked to Garona, squatted down, and looked at the black-toothed orc who had been knocked out.

Say:

"This guy is the leader of the rebels?"

"This is the third one. I threw the first two guys into the sea to feed the fish."

Garona kicked the unconscious orc and said:

"I told you a long time ago that you can't use this kind of coercion to deal with orcs. Throwing these provocateurs into the sea will not scare them, but will make them hate you even more.

You're sitting on a powder keg that's about to explode, so what's your plan? "

"You haven't been to Kul Tiras, and you don't know the rules of our place. On any of our ships, the navigator's position is very detached.

They can bring the ship back to port under any circumstances and ensure the safety of the crew. "

Bu Laike raised his head and said to Garona in an irrelevant answer:

"In the country where I was born, the navigators were regarded as heroes by the people, but now, as you can see, these black-toothed orcs disrespect me as the navigator and captain.

As orcs, they are not very willing to obey the command of me, a human being.

They are provoking me.

So I'm going to punish them in the way of the navigator. "

Bu Laike stood up, pointed to the slanted mast overhead, and said to Garona:

"Now there is a serious deviation in the fixed orientation of the three sails, those black-toothed orc sailors obviously did not follow my instructions to adjust the angle of the sails.

Maybe they are too lazy to do it.

Perhaps it was their way of provoking me.

But the sail twisted at this angle will not be accelerated by the sea wind at all, and the speed of the ship will inevitably decrease. "

He pointed to the sea again and said:

"Secondly, this sea area is just at the edge of the maelstrom current, and further south is where it meets the current of the South China Sea. The water regime is quite complicated.

The arrogant and irascible black-toothed orcs may have learned some sailing skills, but this is the first time they have come to this sea area, so they don't know anything about it. "

Bo Laike grinned, pointed to his head in the dark, and said:

"but I know.

In the years before the outbreak of the Orc War, the Kul Tiras Third Fleet I belonged to would conduct military cruises in this sea area every year to show off its strength.

Deter the Goblin Consortium, thereby safeguarding the commercial interests of the Kul Tiras Kingdom.

I've been on cruises like this since I was a teenager, more than once.

I am very familiar with the ocean currents at the edge of the South China Sea. The ship's yaw angle is wrong now, which will cause it to be 'entangled' by the ocean currents at the edge of the maelstrom. Simply put, the ship has now started to circle in place. "

The pirate stretched out his fingers and made a circular motion. He folded his arms, glanced at the dark sea ahead, and said:

"At the current speed, after four hours, the ship's course will deviate to a very subtle degree, and its speed will drop below 7 knots.

Based on the distance between me and the 'friends' who are chasing behind me these days are getting closer and closer, as long as Hablon and his Nagfal who are chasing behind are a little stronger.

At most until this evening, the keel warship full of dead people will appear within the sight of these black-toothed orcs.

Those brutal Kvaldir mist warriors in Hell are the 'teachers' in my hands, and they will teach these black-toothed orcs who plan to rebel against me a lifelong lesson. "

"Too risky."

The legendary assassin frowned and glanced at the silent deck, and the cabin where there was a low snoring sound, she said:

"This is not land, as long as this ship is so big, once it is attacked and destroyed, we will become living targets on the sea, and we will not even have a chance to retreat

what happened? Why are you looking at me like that?

Am I saying the wrong thing? "

Before Garona finished speaking, she saw Bu Laike staring at her strangely, which made the legendary assassin realize that she might have said something stupid, and she asked back.

The pirate shook his head and explained:

"You really don't know anything about naval warfare, right? I took you on the Naglfar, and we all know the situation of that ship.

Let me ask you, do you see the underwater ram ahead of that keeled battleship?

No!

Does it have guns on its decaying decks?

No!

It still uses the vrykul harpoon cannon, and its range is not as good as the naval gun on this ship.

That ship was the 'transport ship' that Hela used to transfer souls to Hell. Although it looked scary and could travel underwater, it was not an assault ship for close combat.

It will not rush up from the bottom of the sea at close range, give our ship a salty fish assault, and paralyze us on the surface of the sea.

It does not have that function at all!

As long as Hablon has a normal mind, he will not execute such dangerous tactics that may damage the structure of Nagfar's hull.

So as long as the orcs hold off the first wave of Kvaldir mist warriors rushing aboard, we have a good chance of disengaging. "

"But what if the orcs can't stand it?"

Garona asked back:

"Those half-titan undead are far more powerful than the orcs just by their size. As long as a small number of half-titans rush onto the boat, we will be entangled, as you said before.

The Naglfar does not rely on the sea wind to accelerate, and once it bites us, we will be powerless to escape. "

"So while teaching the orcs a lesson, we must also create some trouble for Hablon's damned ship. Don't worry, I have already arranged for this."

Bu Laike waved his hand and said to Garona:

"When the battle starts, I need you to protect the mast and sails of this ship. The plundering orcs under Xieyan will help you. Try not to let Kvaldir destroy them.

Here is already very close to the South China Sea, as long as this ship is not sunk by Hablon's wave, there will be plenty of ships for us to 'change' on the South China Sea trade road. "

Bu Laike let out a sigh of relief. He told Garona all his battle plans, and said to the legendary assassin:

"This plan looks risky, but it's worth it. I don't have time to correct the mentality of these stupid and violent black-toothed orcs. The only way is to make them truly aware of the situation they are facing.

This is an "education of love".

After this small "punishment", as long as these rebellious orcs can survive, they will become submissive for a long time.

For the rest of our journey, I need this function very much.

But if my adventure fails and the ship is captured by Hablon, you will be free, Lady Garona, and you will not have to pay my debts.

You must have a way to escape, so don't hesitate when the time comes. "

Bu Laike grinned, waved to Garona, and put on a captain's style, with his hands behind his back, he leisurely went back to the poop.

The legendary assassin shrugged, glanced at the comatose rebel leader at his feet, and didn't push him over the side of the ship, but quietly disappeared in the floating shadows.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Until seven hours later, in the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly, behind the battleship full of orcs, on the sea surface of nearly twenty nautical miles, the sound of a giant beast swallowing water suddenly sounded.

The Nagfar, which I haven't seen for a long time, is like a giant whale jumping out of the sea, jumping into the sea while the sea is tumbling.

Hablon, holding the Soul Lamp in his hand, stood on the deck of the keel battleship as before.

Holding the soul-destroying scythe, he stared at the ship at the end of his line of sight that was unaware of the approaching danger with indifferent eyes.

Hablon raised the soul lamp in his hand.

Large strands of gray mist churned with his will, escaping from the hull of the Naglfar, like a tumbling fog dragon, roaring and enveloping the sea in all directions.

The cold and damp fog blocked the sunlight, and in the ominous gray fog, the fog pirates, who had already been impatient, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

The captain of the Kvaldir Legion, holding a pale white keel horn, blew it in the mist, and the low sound of the horn echoed on the windy sea.

One tall half-titan undead warrior after another, holding a corroded war halberd and shouting, pushed the small and slender dragon-headed longships full of Vrykul characteristics into the sea. In front of each ship hung a strange A lantern of light.

"The traitor is ahead!"

These warriors in Hell shouted loudly to each other:

"In the Queen's name! Take their souls back! We will adorn our ships with the bloody heads of the living! Aboard!

plunder!

plunder! ! !

kill them all! "
