Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Well, I had a hard time surviving today."

On the deck of the Nagfar, Black watched the huge figure of the Tide Hunter disappear into the vortex leading to the Throat of the Abyss. He playfully wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

He took out the Valargar Commander's Mark that had been kept in it from his pocket, tossed it up and down in his hand, turned to Sephiel, who was pale behind him, and said:

"It seems that we won't need this thing today. Let Nagfar put the Tide Stone away. That thing has just been fully charged, and its energy fluctuations are really obvious.

Speaking of which, the Tide Hunter is quite majestic when he is full of murderous intent, right? "

"How can you still laugh?"

The first auxiliary dragon relaxed immediately when he saw the captain's smile.

She realized that today's crisis had passed, but she still curled her lips and complained:

"Just now our lives were hanging by a thread with this ship. If the tide hunter was not so rational, or didn't believe your explanation, we would have had a fight with an elemental monarch here today.

Didn't you see that it brought the Abyss Trident? "

"Will not."

The pirate waved his hand, glanced at the direction where the tide hunter disappeared, picked up his pipe and said:

"If it really wanted to investigate, it wouldn't have come alone.

The Tidehunter is the most cunning of the Elemental Lords. As far as I know, in all the stories of it facing crisis, it is not a guy who will go alone.

Smart people always cherish their lives.

What good does it do to fall out with me?

After all, I am not the enemy of His Majesty the Tide Hunter. Its enemies are the Fire Demon King and the Wind Rider. This is the prerequisite for it to tolerate me and the source of my confidence.

As long as my existence helps it fight against the other two elemental monarchs, there is no need to worry about the tide hunters driving me and you all to death. Ah, I am so lucky to have such a boss who understands everything.

Didn't you see His Majesty's happy expression with a hint of excitement and anticipation when he left?

It is also a great villain. "

"But that's not what you just said in the captain's cabin."

Sephiel helped Black take off the emblem of the Ocean Earl from his chest and said to the captain:

"What you just said was that you were going to deceive it with lies. When you told the truth, I was really frightened."

"My fault."

The pirate stretched out his hands, smiled and patted the big parasaurus's cheek, rubbed her cheek like a little girl, pouted and said:

"I just suddenly realized that telling the truth is more effective than telling lies. Once you start lying, you have to keep filling it with lies.

Although I am a very good liar.

But I also occasionally realize that lying is only a means and not an end. As long as it can achieve good results, sincerity is also a means. "

"Let go!"

Sephiel screamed and swatted Blake's hand away. She took a step back with a blushing face. Of course, she didn't refuse this intimacy.

She actually likes this way of getting along.

Just because someone is coming next to me.

She is still not used to showing affection in front of others.

With a "whoosh", the large parasaurus disappeared in front of the pirates. The next second, a trio of menacing warriors rushed from the cabin onto the deck and surrounded Blake involuntarily.

"Wait! I can explain!"

The pirate looked at the angry warrior in front of him. He screamed, raised his hands, and shouted:

"Listen to my excuses!"

"Don't listen! Beat him!"

Brooks shouted.

The next moment, Kane used his strong and strong arms to suppress Black from behind. In front of him, the Saurfang brothers raised their fists and hit him.

This scene is very much like a gang fight on a street corner.

At the edge of the deserted deck, Blake, who was holding his head and being lifted into the air, dangled his legs and was surrounded by three soldiers, punching and kicking him. He kept screaming, as if he was being beaten really hard.

But it actually didn't hurt at all.

The shadow covers the body and opens the shadow cloak, allowing the three warriors to absorb at least 80% of the force of each angry blow upon contact.

Landing on a pirate is like scratching an itch.

Of course, the three warriors were also very measured.

They did not use the power of anger, they just waved their fists to express their dissatisfaction. The attacker and the one being beaten were in perfect harmony, and no one could reveal the tricks of either party.

It's just an exchange of attitudes.

Black expressed his apology by being beaten, and the fighters expressed their dissatisfaction by shaking their fists.

Everything was going very smoothly until the idiot Finna appeared on the second floor of the stern of the ship. The elf warrior who was not too concerned about the excitement put his hands together and shouted:

"Hey, you can't kill anyone like this! Do you want to find a spacious place for you to continue embarrassing yourself? For example, go to the utility room?"

This idiot's thrust made the four people who were acting embarrassed. The stinky pirate was even more angry. You idiot, don't you understand the principle of seeing through but not telling?

"Shua"

Fenner, who was in high spirits, wanted to continue taunting her.

But in the next second, Sephiel appeared behind him and grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the cabin, leaving only a scream.

Without the troublemaker, the four people happily continued this "just gang fight".

The "inhumane" torture of a pirate by three soldiers ended after a few minutes. In order to express his misery and repentance, Blake even bit his lip and made it look like bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

He stood up weakly and leaned against the side of the ship, tremblingly took out the dwarf pipe, looked at the three still-angry warriors in front of him, and said in a low voice:

"After beating and scolding, let's just let this matter go by the way, okay?"

"If my son hadn't been on the boat, I would have killed you with an axe!"

Varok Saurfang reached out and grabbed Black's collar. The green-skinned warlord was fierce, lowered his voice, and said to the pirate in an unspeakable tone:

"We trust you so much, how could you do such a bastard thing?"

"Don't blame me."

Blake shrugged and said:

"As a captain, it is my job to meet the various needs of the crew on the ship. In addition to being a challenge, the shield girls are here for you.

Even if there was nothing about Silithus, they would go to Blackstone Mountain sooner or later.

Rather than embarrassing you in front of so many orcs, why not complete this thing in a daze in the Silithus Desert? You don't want to be laughed at by that bastard Red, right? "

"ha?"

The white-haired old orc Brox clenched his fists and said with an unhappy expression:

"So we still have to thank you?"

"Of course you can thank me, if you are a group of good greenskins who know how to repay your kindness."

The stinky pirate rolled his eyes, picked up his pipe and said:

"Of course you all know that I am a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth, so there is no need to thank you or anything else. I still don't understand why you are so angry.

It's not you who suffer. "

"You still said that!"

Kane, who had always been honest, couldn't bear it. He stretched out his hand with only three fingers and stuck it on the pirate's shoulder, squeezing Black's bones until they cracked.

Lao Niu's breathing was heavy and he said:

"Do you want me to send you to face the centaur princesses? It's not you who suffers anyway, right?"

"Centaur, no! They all have big mouths and poor hygiene."

Blake complained:

"If it were the petite and cute dryad sisters, it would be okay."

"Wow, my little master's taste is really strong."

At this moment, Xal'atath suddenly made her presence known, and she said in a faint tone:

"Although I rarely visit the elves' kingdom, I also know that the spouses of the dryads and the tall jungle guardians all have big guns.

Regarding the "traditional size" of dryads, little master, you may be unable to do so. "

"I'm just complaining, do you still take it seriously?"

The pirate replied in his mind:

"Be quiet, okay? Can't you see that I'm being bullied by three violent men? I want to please them so I don't get beaten up again."

"Are you doing that to please me?"

Void Essence said in a strange tone:

"I only see you being provocative. Forget it, it's your business that you like to be beaten, but if you awaken any strange habits, you might as well tell Sephiel.

In the cabinet at the bottom, I have a collection of whips, shackles, mouth balls, etc. They are all prepared for you anyway. "

After saying that, she let out a weird laugh that gradually disappeared from the pirate's ears.

Speaking of which, Xal'atath, who woke up this time, seemed to have recovered from the "astringent" state anytime and anywhere. It had been several days, and she hadn't been seen seducing the pirates in a pretentious manner.

It may be that she experienced a near-death experience that made her understand the value of life.

Of course, this change is also a real good thing for the Pirates.

"If you don't get angry anymore, let's get down to business?"

After Blake blew out a smoke ring, he waved his hand, and the Nagfar, anchored in the deep sea, accelerated again and headed towards the waters of Desolation.

The stinking pirate leaned against the side of the ship that was decorated with ferocious Qiraji insect shells on the deck. He looked at the two orcs and a tauren chieftain in front of him and said:

“My people have landed on the coast of Thaceris in Desolace, and Grom’s Warsong clan, as well as the Soul Walker Blackhorn of the Highmountain tribe and the warriors of Blood Totem have all been sent there.

Odin's heroes are also ready.

So, how should this battle be fought? "

Black looked at Cairne Bloodhoof and said:

"I know that you and the centaurs have a feud. Perhaps you desire an extermination war, but the slave contract I signed with the goblins did not hide it from you.

Although that thing is evil, it can effectively improve the Bloodhoof clan's plight.

So, the decision is in your hands, Kane, this is your land, this is your hometown, and this is your war. We will fight as you say. "

Lao Niu was silent for a few seconds.

On the way back from the Broken Islands to the Desolate Land, he had been thinking about this issue. The current situation was that the tauren had already won, and he had no choice but to choose a way to minimize the losses.

Under the gaze of the Saurfang brothers and Black, the old cow shook its tail and said angrily:

“I don’t intend to exterminate them.

This was not done out of kindness or mercy, they wanted to live and spend the rest of their lives paying off the terrible sin they had done to the land.

I plan to use the raid battle mode to defeat the three main centaur clans Kokar, Magram and Gilgeous in Desolace as quickly as possible, and then enter Marathon to clean up the disaster behind the centaurs. source of. "

"But there are four clans in Desolation."

Black glanced at Kane and said:

"Are you going to let the fourth one go?"

"Well, the Malodi tribe is the only tribe in all the Centaurs that does not live by raiding. Their territory has always been fixed in the Valley of Spears."

Kane said eloquently:

"They are the guardians of the centaur Khan's tomb. They have a noble and extraordinary status among all centaurs. After I know the dark origin of the centaurs, I have enough reasons to believe that the Malodi tribe is fighting for the centaurs. Father Zalta guards the mausoleum.

This means that they are the only barbarians who have repented of the sin of patricide.

They can communicate.

They are the most civilized of the centaurs. "

The old cow coughed and said:

“If the Bloodhoof clan wants to leave the Desolate Land to survive in other places in the future, there must still be a force that can call the shots on this land.

Even if the savage centaurs' clans are broken up, they will soon reunite. They may also leave here and go to other places to plunder and wreak havoc.

Unless there is a clan that can lead them with wisdom and let the barbarians enter civilization.

Without the destruction of the desolate land by the Earth Princess, this barren land will eventually be restored to the fertile and beautiful land legendary by our ancestors.

I also don’t want the tauren’s hometown to become a dead land without life. "

At this point, Kane looked around and lowered his voice and said:

"The centaur is the 'grandson' of the King of the Forest. I will not help Cenarius solve all his troubles. He will end his own confusing family affairs by himself.

His son made atonement for his sins.

We tauren are not warlike. Mother Earth teaches us tolerance and kindness.

If Cenarius, Lord of the Forest, would take the time to educate these centaurs, then my clan and I would be willing to forgive him. "

“Great plan!”

Brooks nodded appreciatively and said:

"You not only took revenge, but also showed the kindness of the tauren. You have taken advantage of the truth. Now the pressure is on the King of the Forest."

"This is a terrible plan."

Blake said with contempt:

"The centaurs can kill their father, why can't they kill their grandfather? You can completely guide them and stimulate the savagery and madness in their hearts.

You can kill with a borrowed knife, Kane.

But you still chose to forgive, which makes me feel that you are wasteful, because you can obviously expand the results of the victory. "

"Not everyone enjoys the chaos as much as you do, Blake."

Kane swung his tail and rejected the evil pirate's evil wisdom. He said:

"This is the best result. You can leave, but we tauren will continue to live on the continent of Kalimdor. It really pisses off the Kaldorei, but there is nothing good to gain without us."

"Okay, okay, let's do it."

The stinky pirate waved his hands with a listless look on his face and said:

"We will reach the coast of Desolation tonight. Do you need me to help you deliver a message? Kane, gather your warriors! By the way, I heard that there is a very restless bad guy in your clan.

Do you need me to help you get rid of her?

To express my apology, this wave is free. "
