Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 220: First Naval Battle

The sudden alarm quickly spread to all the ships of the bench nobles!

The nobles had just escaped from Stormwind City and were already frightened birds. The alarm of the pirates' coming woke them up from their sleep, and they looked terrified!

"What are you panicking about! You are a bunch of rubbish. We have eleven warships and three thousand Storm Marines escorting us. What do you think a little pirate is afraid of?!"

A noble ran out of the cabin and kicked the panicked servant to the ground. As the hidden leader of this group of nobles, he had been feeling rather complacent recently.

Although they were fleeing and lost some real estate in Stormwind, these nobles still had the huge wealth accumulated by their families over thousands of years!

As long as these riches are still in their hands, they still have a chance to make a comeback. With their self-proclaimed noble aristocratic blood, as long as they choose a country to join in the north and buy a manor, they will be a new noble lord, forming a caravan with their strong strength and continuing to acquire wealth!

Moreover, there are more than a dozen noble families here, all fleeing from the hardship together, so they can unite and increase their influence!

If managed well, it is possible to influence the policies of small countries. The leading noble has already made up his mind that when he arrives in the Hillsbrad area, he will go through the channels of his distant relatives and meet King Aiden of the Kingdom of Alterac. As long as they are willing to spend a lot of money, King Aiden will still accept them!

It’s a pity that Garin didn’t know that this group of nobles wanted to go to the Kingdom of Alterac, otherwise he might have let them go.

However, when the noble lord came to the bow, under the moonlight, he saw the dense pirate fleet in front of him!

"This is impossible!"

The noble lord was so frightened that his voice became shrill, just like a castrated chick!

Among the pirates who own hundreds of ships, only the Blackwater Pirates in the Stranglethorn Vale have such strength. This noble lord owns his own merchant ships and has colluded with the Blackwater Pirates to attack his competitors. He will not mistake the flag of the Blackwater Pirates.

Could it be that the navy of Stromgarde took advantage of the situation?

It's not impossible. For a country that can provide a thousand transport ships, it's not impossible for it to also spare a hundred ships for pirates!

However, it is not ruled out that the nobles of the northern countries will unite to rob their side. After all, the group of untouchables arrived in the Hillsbrad area first and leaked the news!

The battleships and transport ships of Stromgarde are all of the same standard. I have carefully observed them in Stormwind Harbor! Moreover, Stromgarde's style of doing things is like that of a warrior, straightforward and not so vicious. The prince is also a paladin known for his virtues!

And these hundred pirate ships were all converted from merchant ships, and most of them were of Lordaeron style! The nobles in the north united? Stopped the nobles in the south from migrating? Squeezed their space?

This is the most likely!

Don’t think that noble lords only know how to enjoy themselves. When it comes to matters related to politics and making money, they are very smart!

At this time, several other nobles also came to the deck. They looked panic-stricken and were obviously frightened by these pirates!

A few people gathered together to discuss and they planned to escape before the pirates surrounded them.

"Turn back to Stormwind immediately!"

"Hurry! Run!"

The nobles no longer cared about so much. If they went back, they would face the orc army. At least they would not die for a while. If they were caught by pirates, at best they would lose everything, and at worst they would lose their lives!

It was only an afternoon since they set out, so they hurried back. At least there were tens of thousands of troops in Stormwind that made them feel safe. There was also a fleet from the Kingdom of Kul Tiras patrolling the waters off Stormwind. If they were lucky, they could be rescued as long as they escaped a certain distance!

The Kul Tiras Navy is still very intimidating in the Eastern Continent!

The merchant ship began to slowly change direction!

"Why are you so slow? Hurry up!"

The noble lord grabbed the captain by the collar and roared in frustration, saying that at this rate, the pirates had surrounded them before they could even turn around.

"There's nothing we can do, Your Excellency the Duke! There's too much cargo on the ship, and it can't run fast if it's overloaded!"

The captain hurriedly explained what he could do. He was helpless. You nobles, in order to take all your wealth with you, even threw away the sailors' extra personal belongings. You compressed the fresh water and food to the extreme, just to bring a few more gold coins!

Blame me?

"Quick! Throw out half of the items in the warehouse, especially the gold!"

The order from this noble lord caused an uproar among the other nobles. This is gold, you can’t do that, boss!

"Money or life? Only if life is saved can the family continue! Remember this location, we will come back to salvage gold in the future!"

These words immediately made all the nobles follow suit. It is unfair to have money but no life to spend it. If you can survive, you can still make money!

Then boxes were thrown out from the stern, reflecting golden flashes in the moonlight.

Seeing these flashes, Jialin laughed. Do you think you can escape by reducing the weight? What do you think my Naga is used for?

"Remember this location. After the battle is over, pick up all the gold, silver and jewelry they left behind."

"Notify the underwater Nagas and start the action!"

boom!

Garin came to the bow of the ship and fired the first shot himself!

Unfortunately, due to the long range, it hit the sea surface about ten meters away from the stern of the opposite ship.

But the signal to attack has been given!

boom!

boom!

boom!

For a moment, there was a roar of artillery fire!

Garin's eighty armed merchant ships equipped with artillery were at best two-masted cross-rigged gunboats and could not be considered authentic battleships. With Garin's poor knowledge of navigation, he only knew that the battleships built in the shipyard could only be considered entry-level battleships, which were three-masted cross-rigged battleships that could be equipped with at least sixty-two guns.

For example, the Stormwind warships on the opposite side are entry-level battleships with two decks, and they have now begun their rearguard mission, sailing behind the noble merchant ships and starting to fire back at Garin and his men!

But all this was in vain. The armed ships customized by Garin were modified at the underground shipyard in Nanhai Town. They were lighter and faster, suitable for attacking merchant ships, and for reconnaissance, surveillance and pursuit missions.

Thinking about it this way, Jialin suddenly realized that the owner of Nanhai Town was not a good person either. They actually carried out ship modification. They either sent their own people to be pirates, or they were connected with a certain pirate group!

It seems like I have discovered someone's little secret.

The roar of artillery from both sides resounded across the sea. To be honest, with eighty warships and hundreds of shells fired, the accuracy was really not satisfactory. Fortunately, the number of artillery was greater than that of the enemy, which directly suppressed the warships operated by the nobles' private army and directly destroyed two of them with concentrated fire!

It's a pity that the Heart of Origin Shipyard taught the farmers how to sail and how to fire, but Garin still lacks a strong fleet commander!
