Azeroth’s Death Track

To this day, the news of Dai Lin's death in battle has already spread throughout the entire human civilization.

Everyone knows that the king of Kul Tiras was ambushed by Naga in the deep sea, died like a warrior, and fell into the icy deep sea together with his legendary ship Sea Majesty.

It was a news that made all the hero worshipers of the entire human civilization feel heartbroken, but it was also a news that made all the pirates cheer and celebrate.

When Dai Lin was still alive, the Armada of Kul Tiras almost single-handedly suppressed all sea forces in the entire Azeroth civilization circle, and Dai Lin, who was born in a military family, hated the existence of pirates even more. Second to his hatred of orcs.

For a period of time, which lasted about 10 years, every year, Dai Lin would lead a fleet to the South China Sea, just like wielding a sickle to cut leeks, uprooting the breeding pirates. , all the pirates in the South China Sea almost disappeared, and wherever Dai Lin went, the unlucky old sea dogs almost fled in all directions at a frightening speed.

Just like the name of his domineering ship, during that period of time, Dai Lin was the out-and-out king of the sea.

How powerful was Kul Tiras' sea power at that time?

During the intermission between the First World War and the Second World War, Farrewell, a general of the Kul Tiras Fleet, made a wrong decision not to fight and flee when facing the threat of a continental war, because he was afraid of Dailin. Pursuing responsibility, Farrewell fled away with a quarter of the battleships of the Fourth Fleet half-forced and half-deceived during the return journey.

And it was this traitor who betrayed the Kul Tiras Navy, after arriving in the South China Sea, in less than two months, it swept away all sea forces including the Blackwater Pirates, and established their position in the South China Sea. dominance.

This navy that betrayed Kul Tiras is the famous Bloodsail pirate.

(The real story of the Bloodsail Pirates is not like this. Since there are no three major wars in this timeline, Brother Farrewell can only get the lunch box in advance, but the process of establishing the Bloodsail Pirates is almost exactly the same as this story... So, consider it a mysterious disturbance of the timeline.)

To be honest, if it weren't for the sudden invasion of the Dark Blade Undead, General Farrewell's head would have been displayed in Boralus Harbor long ago, but anyway, the strength of the Kul Tiras fleet is beyond doubt. And one-third of this strength is due to Dai Lin's character and his strong personality.

And if it wasn't for Dai Lin's untimely death, Lothar wouldn't have such a headache in choosing a successor. If Dai Lin was still alive, Lothar would definitely be a lot easier... Apart from his hatred of orcs, Dai Lin almost He is the perfect candidate for the second emperor of human civilization.

But the world is tricky. By coincidence, the tide sages betrayed more than ten years earlier, and directly led to Dai Lin's death. During the naval battle on the island, when Dai Lin and Drake were rescued by Tyrion, the king's current tragic experience had already been scheduled.

At this moment, in the outer sea of ​​Whispering Port, the fog covering the entire sea almost completely surrounded the ships sailing out of the port. The ghost warships and ghost sailors summoned by Dai Lin from the dark seabed were moving with a kind of Looking at the prey, looking at the Kul Tiras First and Second Fleets surrounded by them.

In this undisguised malice, Admiral Drake tightly clenched the command knife in his hand... He is not afraid to fight the dead. This brave prince has inherited the bravery in Dai Lin's blood, but For him to command a battleship and fight fiercely with his father at sea, this is beyond all of Drake's nightmare imagination.

That's the person he's most respected in his life, and even when facing him, Drake feels a wave of...awe.

Jaina beside him was not much better. Compared with her brother's more realistic thinking, the only woman in the new generation of the Proudmoore family was more emotional pain. She looked at the end of the deck of the dark giant ship. She couldn't help but step forward and said in a sad voice:

Father...you...

Before Jaina finished speaking, she was interrupted by Dai Lin. The death lord didn't seem to want to say too much about personal feelings. He saw the ships full of civilians on the dark sea behind him, and he didn't even need to use his eyes to feel the despair and pain pervading the sea.

Frankly speaking, this made Dai Lin feel a little bored. He had seen enough of this kind of scene in his life.

Jianna, I came back from the dead, it's really a pleasure to see you again, but unfortunately, on this sea tonight, you have your mission...and I, too mine.

return to!

The admiral of the dark blade said in a low voice:

Bury the meaningless courage in my heart, swallow the voice of anger and roaring back to my throat, I would rather see the end of this than the result of fighting for honor... I have seen enough of this world Ugly and nonsensical, and now I am loyal to a new mission and a system in which I have seen an alternative future with my own eyes.

Back back! Sons and daughters of Kul Tiras, accept the dawn of this new age, and you will be part of this new system... You will find the peace you have long dreamed of.

Go back! Hand over your weapons, and I will protect you as before... Before the dead die in battle, there is no need for the living to take up arms...

return to!

In Dai Lin's deep voice, the mist all over the sea surged at this moment, and the ghost warships following the King of the Sea slowly turned their bows in the sea of ​​mist, while the undead walked silently , a naval gun covered with dark red icy energy was pushed out from the sidestring of these tattered, off-white warships, which were covered with seabed barnacles and seaweed.

On the dark and icy sea, the dark cannon muzzles are dotted with deadly light. The dead souls on the sea are waiting for the order of the ruler. As long as Dai Lin gives an order, these flying dead soul shells will be completely destroyed. The resistance of the human fleet in front of me... and some anxious undead have already started to roar.

Admiral...

The first officer of the Queen Anna, Colonel Sanders Valentine stood behind the silent Drake. He carefully looked at the undead fleet in front of him. He asked in a low voice, like a desperate Urge.

This urging woke Drake up from the long meeting. When he turned his head, he saw the bewildered sailors on the entire deck looking at him.

Many Kul Tiras naval soldiers here have followed Dai Lin in the glorious legend of ruling the endless sea. Their instinct is to let them obey the orders of the dead admiral, but it is the bounden duty of soldiers. It makes them want to get an answer from the current chief.

elder brother...

Jaina silently clenched Drake's wrist, she looked worriedly at her brother, the admiral who was about to become the ruler of Kul Tiras, from her father's words, she had heard There was a trace of unknown.

While Redek patted his sister's hand, he turned his head and showed a pale and reassuring smile to the worried Jaina. The next moment, Drake raised his head and looked at Dai Lin who was hundreds of meters away in front of him. Taking a deep breath, he let the icy sea breeze blow on his cheeks, and the scenes of the past were revolving in front of his eyes. In the end, he shouted loudly:

Father...

This is the last time I will call you father... Forgive me, I cannot follow your teachings, and simply put aside the mission entrusted to me by the Emperor of the Empire.

Because it was you who taught me that a general should be loyal to his mission rather than his personal feelings.

It was you who taught me that a righteous Proudmoore should be loyal to a just and great cause.

It was also you who taught me...the fleet of Kul Tiras, the captains of every ship, no matter what kind of desperate situation they face, they will never surrender without a fight!

Even in the ocean of death, we have to shoot the last shell, hack the last enemy, or...

bass

Drake drew out his command knife, pointed forward, closed his eyes, and said the last sentence:

Or... in endless glory, sink with the ship!

The next moment, under the blessing of Jaina's amplification magic, Drake's voice spread throughout this dead sea surrounded by undead. His voice was not loud, but it was full of the momentum of a desperate fight to the end.

Kul Tiras Fleet! Soldiers of Kul Tiras, I am Drake Proudmoore, and I am your general! Follow my orders!

The enemy is ahead, prepare for battle!

Crack, click, click, click, click

The moment they heard the battle instructions, the Kul Tiras sailors who were still standing on the deck started to move almost subconsciously. The first and second fleets had already set up their battle formations. The densely packed heavy naval guns pushed out of the muzzles, and in the blink of an eye, the two fleets became fearless warriors in armor and spears on the sea.

Drake looked at the silent undead fleet in front of him, and the figure he called his father. Finally, he clenched his sister's cold hand, and swung the command knife in his hand.

For...for Kul Tiras! For the Empire! Fire!

In the name of Dark Blade! Fire!

The two fathers and sons gave orders almost at the same time. At this moment, the naval guns of both sides roared at the same time. The scorching shells and cold undead shells crossed across the silent night sky. The light floating in the night, It also illuminated the eyes of Dailin and Derek. Drake saw the smile on his father's withered cheeks, and Dailin saw another self from his son.

You've grown up...it makes me so relieved...

Dai Lin didn't say this sentence, he just watched the shells on the Queen Anna straightly smashed towards the deck where he was. The black chain jumping up from the deck of the dead battleship hit it precisely, like a baseball being whipped, and flew into the icy sea water on the other side with a whistling sound.

boom

In the bright water column blown up by the explosion in the sea, the cold shells of the Darkblade Fleet also hit the battleships of the Kul Tiras First Fleet. The moment the strange death energy touched the battleship, it still froze the battleship together with the sea water below.

The soldiers within the range of the shell explosion were instantly frozen in the ice, only the Queen Anna and the two nearby battleships were blessed with frost-like shields under Jaina's magic wave, Blocked the shooting artillery fire and shells from the sky.

And the undead fleet in the mist was also hit by Kul Tiras' artillery on several ships. The scorching shells smashed through the decayed deck, fell under the battleship, and then exploded. The flames illuminated the sea area deep in the mist. The undead on the deck of the ghost ship seemed to be ignited by the violent explosion. Those broken and burning ships were slowly submerged in the water as if they had fallen into the deep sea, and even sparks could be seen dancing on the water surface.

But these are ghost ships, and they can be repaired in the water, which means that after the naval battle continues for a while, they can join the siege of the Kul Tiras fleet again.

The bombardment of the Kul Tiras fleet was a bit slower, but the numerical advantage of the Necromancer fleet and Dai Lin's command made the Mist Fleet's bombardment of the Necromancers seem endless. After less than 10 minutes, Kur Tiras The two fleets of Tiras were severely suppressed by Dai Lin's fleet in terms of firepower. Nearly 15 warships were completely frozen on the sea surface, and had lost the power to fight back.

This kind of battle loss ratio can almost make any admiral feel desperate.

And the worst situation is yet to come. Amidst the deep laughter of Admiral Dark Blade, the largest Sea Kingship slowly draws an arc on the sea, and the gun port on one side is opened, and the whole 32 doors A single launch of large-caliber artillery and naval guns pushed by necromancer sailors on the deck is comparable to the salvo of three warships. Sea Majesty was remodeled... Its shells are not frozen mixed with necromantic energy bombs, but cone-shaped bombs filled with new gunpowder.

The sharp hissing of the conical shell flying in the air made Drake's scalp numb. He only had time to push his sister out of the bridge. The next moment, the conical shell destructively penetrated the wooden battleship and the subsequent The explosion enveloped the entire Queen Anna in bright fireworks.

swish

In the shattered light of the portal, Jaina's sweaty figure appeared on the distant coast. She looked desperately at the Queen Anna, which had been shrouded in flames on the distant sea. At this moment, the archmage fell into the most powerless despair middle.

She was born in Kul Tiras, and she knows very well that in a naval battle of this scale, the effect that an archmage can exert is extremely weak, but facing her father, the most powerful man in the history of human civilization The admiral, her brother and those valiant fighters, were impossible to win.

But this is not the reason for her to do nothing. The archmage gritted her teeth and tried to open a portal again. She did not want to return to the Queen Anna, but to jump directly into her father's Sea Kingship and carry out A spellcaster raid...the last thing she could do now.

And just as Jaina stirred up her magic and was about to open the portal, a hoarse female voice suddenly came into her ears amidst the rough water.

Daughter of the sea...you are the only one who can help them now, but not in this stupid way of sacrificing yourself...

Be good... Do what my sister says, but Hai's daughter, this is not selfless help. What are you willing to give to save your loved ones?

Hehehe, I'm curious...
