Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 948 44. Brave Dai Lin, go and create a miracle quickly - additional updates for the Spring Festival, Happy New Year [715]

On Plunder Island, through the elemental gate opened on the ocean by the water elements of the Tide Order, Dai Lin came to Plunder Island from Booty Bay in an instant.

The admiral only took a few of his own commanders with him, not even many guards.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he actually saw his rescued soldiers, the general still felt guilty and angry.

According to Kul Tiras' fleet organization, although not all of the First Fleet patrolling the South China Sea has sailed, the number of sailors, logistics personnel, and doctors on more than a dozen ships is already close to 10,000.

Now, the total number of Kul Tirans rescued from Plunder Island is less than 3,000.

Except for a handful of people who betrayed themselves and became pirates, the remaining people either fulfilled their naval oath and died in battle at sea, or they were transformed into half-human, half-deformed monsters by the tide sages using dark magic.

His first fleet is no longer weak.

This is basically equivalent to the entire organization being scrapped.

But in front of these soldiers with tears in their eyes, waiting to go home, Dai Lin could not show any weakness. Wearing a captain's uniform, he held the command sword at his waist and stood in front of the almost burned pirate boy. before the town.

On the dock behind him, a dozen Blood Sail pirates were "swinging" in the sea breeze.

The rescued soldiers stood in front of the general. Each of them was in a shabby shape, some were skinny and bones from torture, and some could hardly even stand.

But no matter what kind of suffering they suffered, these soldiers who persisted until the end did their best to stand upright in front of their commander.

They are the last members of the First Fleet.

They cannot embarrass their fleet and their comrades.

"The First Fleet is gone, soldiers."

Dai Lin, who had just defeated the Blood Sail Pirates, could not hide his exhaustion. The long-term naval battle command was quite tiring. There were bloodshot eyes in his eyes and his beard was not well taken care of. He spoke slowly:

"Kul Tiras' navy suffered its worst defeat since its founding. We were ambushed by a group of pirates, and we tasted the bitter taste of the sea for the first time.

Our brave sailors were buried in the sea, and the cowards stood on their corpses and cheered. They thought they had defeated Kul Tiras. They thought they could break the backs of the Kul Tiras and laugh at our courage. "

The admiral paused, looking at the silent crowd in front of him.

The next moment, he clenched his fists and raised them above his head, his tone became high, and he roared:

"But they were wrong!"

"Just four hours ago, I personally responded to the Bloodsail Pirates with a destruction filled with death and brutality.

In Booty Bay, in the Western Wilds, on the seas of the Eastern Continent, under the watchful eyes of our compatriots, your brothers and I destroyed thirty ships of the Bloodsail Fleet!

I.Leave no prisoners!

I saw with my own eyes that the sea was turned red by carnage, and with my own ears I heard those despicable pirates begging for mercy, but I refused them.

I know that blood revenge can only be repaid with blood.

Those who died in battle, their glory that was trampled by pirates, I helped them find it back!

At this point, my soldiers can finally rest under the endless sea amidst the wails of the pirates. They will not become a disgrace, they will become heroes of the navy. "

"Long live the Admiral!"

Dai Lin's speech caused the rescued sailors to burst into terrible cheers. These poor people who had been tortured for more than a month seemed to be injected with new hope at this moment.

They seem to have found the meaning of existence again.

They cheered, some burst into tears, some knelt on the ground, and some weak ones were so excited by the good news that they even fainted on the spot.

But if they thought Dai Lin only brought such good news, then they underestimated the admiral.

Dai Lin waited for the cheers in front of him to subside. He reached down and made a "quiet" gesture. The scene soon became quiet, and everyone was waiting for the admiral's order.

"The revenge of the dead has been avenged, the blood has washed away the shame and brought back the glory. But the hatred of the living has not yet been satisfied. I can hear the roar in your hearts even here.

You are not satisfied with this victory yet.

Because it's mine.

Not yours. "

Dai Lin held the command sword at his waist and said calmly:

"The ships of the First Fleet either sank or were robbed and taken away by pirates. I helped you recapture two ships during the battle. I will give you enough supplies, I will give you medical treatment, and I will give you enough time.

you!

The last survivors of the First Fleet, you must personally hunt down and destroy the remnants of the Bloodsail Pirates, who are fleeing to the wild coast of Kalimdor.

They tried to make a comeback there.

I no longer want to pay attention to those pirates.

They are no longer my problem, they are yours!

The day you defeat them, the number of the First Fleet will be restored. The day when you kill the last bloody sail bastard, the suffering and shame on your body will be eliminated.

So, let me ask you, my soldiers who have experienced failure, are you willing to accept this 'punishment'? "

"We do!"

The one-armed old man at the front of the crowd, the highest-ranking commander of the remaining First Fleet, straightened his back. The fifty-year-old old navy man looked at his Majesty with red eyes.

He shouted loudly:

"The heroes of the First Fleet are watching us from the sky. We will personally complete their and our final revenge. We will not return to Kul Tiras until that day comes.

The shame of failure hangs over us.

A true Kul Tiran will return home to his family with victory. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving us the opportunity to fight the war with our own hands! "

"very good."

Dai Lin gave a military salute to the old navy man in front of him, and the latter returned the military salute with one arm.

The commander turned around and ordered to the silent and united sailors behind him:

"Disband, soldiers, rest here for ten days! Then... we attack!"

"Shua"

Thousands of people saluted at the same time. The soldiers supported the injured and carried the unconscious people towards their temporary camp. Dai Lin watched them leave and sighed again.

This is the best solution.

If he just takes these remnant soldiers home, they will definitely keep the accusations from their countrymen and spend their lives in regret and pain. There are too many stories of Kul Tiras' victory, but bitter defeats are always easier to be blamed. Remember.

The admiral could imagine that if these soldiers went to Kalimdor and fought against the Bloodsail pirates till the end, not even half of them would be able to return home alive.

but.

They will go back as heroes.

They will become the new household stories rather than the denounced losers.

"I still have five ships of the First Fleet there. Four of them are small ships and there is only one capital ship. If Your Majesty needs it, I can return them all to these respectable warriors."

The troll pirate Gaboa strolled over and bowed to Dai Lin in a serious manner, and then said something in an exaggerated tone.

Dai Lin glanced at him and immediately noticed Gaboa's peculiar eyes.

The admiral swore that at that moment, the troll's eyes were definitely as indifferent as a snake should be, just like a hunter staring at his prey.

"No need."

Dai Lin said calmly:

"My soldiers do not accept charity from pirates, they will take back what they leave behind."

"Oh, but I don't want to be the target of a group of revengeful sea wolves. My fleet is so weak, how can it compare with the powerful Blood Sail Pirates?"

Gaboa shook his head, shook his hand full of rings, and said with regret:

"I originally planned to use this island as the base camp of the cursed pirates, but now it seems that it has to be returned to Kul Tiras. It's a shame.

But since I won’t be traveling in this sea area much from now on, I’ll just throw it away.

I helped you after all, Your Excellency. "

The troll approached Dai Lin, looked around, and whispered:

"Black and I are close comrades-in-arms. We are our own people, so please do me a favor and give me a right of passage at sea, okay?"

"Who is your friend?"

Dai Lin glanced at the troll pirate with disgust. He thought about it and whispered:

"Your fleet has been operating near Kalimdor a long time ago. Find a place for my soldiers to stay in Kalimdor. I will give you a trade certificate for two years."

"Cool, that's what I want."

Gaboya laughed, took out a dirty chart from his pocket, put it into Dai Lin's hand, and said:

"It has been prepared for you. Just on the coastline of the Barrens, outside the goblin city of Jingtooth City, at the end of the golden route, there is an island occupied by pirates.

The terrain and stuff are pretty good, I've always wanted to win there.

But the pirates there are too fierce.

My lord, when your soldiers are fighting against the remnants of the Bloodsail Pirates, please do not hesitate to ask for help. I am always ready to sacrifice myself for the glory of Kul Tiras.

we really can be friends

I'm not kidding. "

The cursed pirate captain said with a smile:

"If you and Black are going to duke it out on the ocean, don't forget that you have a troll friend when you're in dire straits.

Trolls are known to be loyal to their friends.

So, farewell, Your Majesty.

I wish you good luck in martial arts. "

Gaboa gave a pretentious farewell ceremony, then swaggered onto his Death with his two lieutenants and a group of zombie sailors, carrying many large boxes and pockets full of gold coins.

They are leaving.

They were going to do "big things."

Dai Lin watched the troll pirate, who was dressed in vulgar and luxurious but cunning as a ghost, leave. He took another look at Kojo, the ancestor turtle, who was walking slowly.

He asked:

“Can this troll be trusted?”

"Of course it is credible. He is the chief priest of our Tide Order."

Kojo yawned and said:

“You can trust him as much as you trust Blake.

This old guy from seven thousand years ago is very comfortable in this era, and I don't know if it's my imagination, but he seems to be imitating a series of Blake's methods.

And he is very measured and distant.

I've heard stories about him and Black. He must have resented the undead pirates, but he was very cooperative. I couldn't figure out his evil mind, just like I couldn't figure out Black's dark wisdom.

He's trouble, no doubt about it.

But what exactly he wanted to do and how to do it, I had no way of knowing. Blake should know, but he was unwilling to tell me.

Your Majesty, I have met Brann Bronzebeard.

He is in Gaboa's fleet. I told him that you wanted to take him back to Ironforge, but the troublesome old dwarf refused.

He claims that he is going on a great adventure and that he will find a miraculous place that will shock the world. He cannot go back with you. "

"He's going to be a pirate?"

Dai Lin frowned.

Kou Qiao shook his head and complained:

"No, Brann Bronzebeard cannot be a pirate.

No pirate ship would take this troubled guy on board. But I think let him be, dwarves are very stubborn and there is no need to waste time on him. "

"Um."

Dai Lin nodded. He glanced at the island behind him, then touched his gauntlet and said:

"Then the healing supplies for this island and my soldiers will be left to you. As I said before, you will take half of the things and ships looted from the Blood Sail Pirate Fleet.

In the future, you will also be given one-third of the loot when they hunt down the Bloodsail Pirates, but you will be responsible for all their supply logistics. "

"Of course, Your Majesty, it is our pleasure."

Kou Qiao grinned and said:

"After all, we signed a three-year contract, and the entire Order of Tides will do its best to serve the great men of Kul Tiras. But are you leaving now?

There's still a mess to clean up on the Treasure Coast. "

"I have to leave."

The admiral felt the mark on his wrist vibrating continuously, and the hot feeling urged him to set off immediately.

He said:

"I have an invitation that belongs to the warriors that I cannot miss, and I am not willing to miss it. Compared with it, things about Treasure Coast can be put aside completely.

Kojo, prepare an elemental door for me. "

"Where is the target?"

The ancestor turtle asked.

Dai Lin took a deep breath and said:

"Quel'Thalas."

——

On the other side, in the cabin of the cursed pirate battleship Death, the Pandaren monk Lao Chen and his niece Lili had just finished dinner and were chatting with an uninvited guest.

"You just stay on Gaboa's ship. Don't worry. Everything has been taken care of. That troll doesn't dare to abuse you."

Wearing a red scarf and full of majesty, Old Gani stood on the garbage pile with dignity and said to the two chubby men:

"Blake originally planned to pick you up in person, but he was too lazy to come, and he had other things to do, so let me tell you to wait patiently.

Think of traveling with Gaboa as a journey, and you will experience a legendary story.

He will eventually join you on the way to Pandaria. "

"But we don't know Black Shaw?"

Lili asked suspiciously:

"Why can he arrange everything for us so skillfully? We can't even be considered friends, right?"

"You don't need to know Blake Shaw."

Old Garni chuckled and said in a very cool way:

"He was everyone's enemy and everyone's friend. Just know that he was a man of great energy and that he had good intentions for you.

that's enough.

Of course, you can also leave Gaboa's fleet and go to find the misty continent Pandaria yourself.

But he will always find you.

Kind old Gani’s advice to you is: don’t refuse, let alone make him angry. "
