Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1457 90. Now, it's time for the strategy to move forward!

   "Oh, I finally came out. It's really depressing to stay in that dark underground kingdom. It's not a ghost place that surface creatures like us should go to."

At the entrance of the tunnel leading to the Underground Kingdom of Azjol Nerub, Blake walked out of the sloping pit with light steps. He moved his arms and body like an old man's morning exercise, while facing Nasano who walked out with him. S complained:

   "Have you observed those nerubians?

   They have completely evolved their form to the weird appearance of underground creatures, and even their eyes have degenerated. Those guys' eyes actually glow in the dark.

   is really scary, the kind that can scare the bear child to the point of crying and calling for his mother. "

Maris was carrying his newly acquired "hunting spear", which was actually a sharp worm horn taken from the head of a defeated crypt lord. He planned to use this thing to replace his goron bone spear. .

   "Isn't it better?"

  Maris followed Black, and he whispered:

   "We didn't even need to aim when we hunted them in the dark, shooting an arrow at those spots of light would definitely get a headshot, which is what all hunters love."

   "emmmm the angle is neat, but there's nothing wrong with it."

  The pirate rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then gave Maris a thumbs up and shook it, but then the pirate's expression became weird, he looked left and right, and said:

   "What's the matter with you and that arrogant Windrunner? Didn't they both decide for life, why didn't they even go home together?"

   "Uh, this is the way we agreed to get along."

  Nathanos scratched his head, shrugged helplessly and said:

   "Shiva doesn't plan to disclose my relationship with her in the near future. She said she would wait until the Windrunner family affairs are over before talking about her personal feelings. She always does, putting family and kingdom affairs before her own personal affairs.

   I also occasionally feel that she has already married herself to her country.

  I am just her little lover. "

   "Well, it's good to have this awareness, it's great, continue to keep this idea."

  The stinky pirate took out an uncrowned man's internal positioning magic stone from his arms, crushed it in his hand, scatters the slag, and then picked up his pipe and said to Maris maliciously:

   "This way, when Sylvanas kicks you away in the name of national affairs, you shouldn't feel pain or loss.

   Anyway, in my opinion this is a matter of time.

   However, didn't you ask which side your goddess is going to stand on when she returns to Quel'Thalas this time?

   Didn't she say she would be loyal to her country and fulfill the oath of the Windrunner family? If you think about it this way, that chick is determined to stand on the opposite side of me.

   Will she sabotage my plan in Quel'Thalas? "

"No, I asked, Shiva said she wouldn't be involved in what Alleria and General Liresa were planning to advance, but she seemed to sense your next move from General Liresa's hint. ."

   Nathanos explained earnestly:

   "So she's going back to the elven territory and fulfilling her responsibilities for the people, she doesn't have to be your enemy, Blake, that's what she is.

   Please look at my face, don't care about her too much. "

"Uh?"

  Blake looked at Maris in surprise, he breathed out a smoke ring, and said meanly:

   "This is not like what you can say. Sure enough, love can always make people blind. Women's IQ will drop to zero when they are in love, while the wisdom of men when they are in love is negative.

   Okay, for your sake, I'll just go with her.

   Anyway, the next thing is not under my leadership, and I will not let you and her stage a scene of falling in love and killing each other.

  Speaking of which, are you going back to Lordaeron? "

"Well, my official and private affairs in Northrend are all done, and it's time to go back to my life. Both His Majesty the King and His Holiness the Pope are waiting for my message, although His Majesty Lothar's answer may make them Disappointed and angry."

  Nathanos moved his shoulders. He glanced back at the snow-capped Dragonblight in the distance behind him. The ranger-general of Lordaeron moved his shoulders and said in a low voice:

   "Just so, the military has dismissed me from my post because I passively commanded the Ranger Corps to stay put in the Grizzly Hills, and I can finally leave this hellish place justifiably.

   Next I plan to apply to join the Draenor Expedition.

   Take a look at the world where you once fought. I heard that a big operation to attack demons is being prepared there. Going there to do logistical handling of boxes is much better than staying here and fighting a pointless war. "

   "You are enlightened."

  Blake laughed, he patted Maris on the shoulder, took out a letter he had written before and stuffed it into Nathanos' hands, he said:

   "When you return to King Terenas, remember to present this letter to the old king for me. I want to say everything I want to say to him in it."

   "Let me confirm first, this letter is not poisonous, right?"

  The Ranger-General of Lordaeron squinted his eyes and said:

   "There's no sarcasm or psychic attack in this letter, right?"

   "I really want to assassinate him, why do I need so much trouble?"

  Black asked angrily:

   "Do you know how many eyeliners I have in the palace of Lordaeron?

  Don't worry, the letter contains some comfort for the losers in the war and answers to some questions I don't care about, but the old king seems to care about.

  I believe that when you send this letter to him, the development of the situation will calm him down. "

After finishing speaking, the pirate glanced at the distant sky. In the year-round snowstorm of the Dragonblight Wilderness, there was a griffin flapping its wings and flying towards this side. It should have been attracted by the positioning stone that Blake had crushed earlier. Uncrowned member.

   "You can go, the next pirate affairs are not yours to listen to."

  Black gave Nathanos a goodbye hug, patted his brother on the shoulder, and whispered:

   "See you in Argus, remember to bring more arrows and bullets, there are so many demons there that you can't kill them all."

   "I'll bring you one too."

  Maris laughed, took a few steps back and blew a loud whistle, and soon a majestic black armored dragon eagle descended from the sky, carrying him into the sky and disappearing into the gloomy snowy sky.

   But that black dragonhawk should be Sylvanas' mount.

   Black blinked.

   He thought, so, on the surface, these two guys said they went home separately, but in fact they still want to sneak back to the Eastern Continent together?

  Tsk tsk, really love men and women.

   It really makes me nostalgic.

   A few minutes later, in the cedar forest near the entrance of the underground kingdom, a griffin came from afar and fell.

  A lady wearing Arathi Heights scout chainmail jumped down and took a few steps towards Black, flipping the palm of her hand to reveal a hidden emblem of the Uncrowned.

   She made herself known to the master.

   "How is the situation at sea now?"

  Black took off his pipe and asked with a casual expression.

   Lady Uncrowned, disguised as a member of the Alliance's advance in Northrend, replied in a husky voice:

   "Since Lady Anne led the North Sea pirates to sack the Dreadnought Fortress a few days ago, there has been no large-scale naval battle in the Frozen Sea recently.

   However, the Alliance Navy was stubbornly trying to be ashamed, and has been actively searching for the traces of the North Sea pirates in an attempt to initiate a decisive battle.

   In accordance with your previous instructions, Ms. Anne has ordered pirates from all over the North Sea to retreat strategically to attract the Alliance Navy to the vicinity of Rogue Harbor.

  Our comrades have put the exact information into the intelligence system of the Alliance fleet, and maybe they will react to it soon. "

   "Well, very good. A vengeful navy, a conspiracy pirate, and a Blake Shaw hiding in the dark to prepare for a fatal blow, this sea looks like it's going to be lively."

   The smelly pirate laughed, he thought for a while, then turned to the Uncrowned member behind him and said:

  "Two days later, let our people withdraw from the Union army, and those who cannot be evacuated in civilian clothes are sick and wounded, and do not participate in the next battle.

   They've been showing off on our turf for so long, it's time to give them a bite. "

   "As you order, Master."

  The Uncrowned member nodded. When she was about to leave, she was stopped by the pirates. Black rubbed his chin and said:

"By the way, help me send a letter to the scout commander of the Quel'dorei elves. I heard that the guy is a member of the Sangunar family. It's good, just tell him that the Sangunar family owes me the favor. .

   But my friends who are so understanding will certainly not ask them to do shameful acts of treason.

   I only ask them to temporarily close their watchful eyes.

   That's all. "

—

While the stinky pirates, the Lich King and the Elders were "playing together" in the underground kingdom of Azjol Nerub, on the southwest coast of Northrend, the colony of Lordaeron in this place extended to Farshire. In the Dreadnought Fortress, several pieces of news from different channels were gathered this evening into the Alliance Fleet Base Camp, which is currently resting in the Dreadnought Fortress.

   The arrival of these letters immediately triggered a high-level meeting of the Alliance fleet.

   However, this battle meeting, presided over by His Excellency Barry Westwin, the commander of the Alliance Navy, former Commodore of Kul Tiras and now Admiral of Lordaeron, did not stage a scene where the captains spoke freely.

   The atmosphere of the whole meeting was very solemn.

   The dimly lit conference room seemed to be covered with overcast clouds, and the aura that was about to come was heavy on every member present.

  Everyone kept silent, trying to be as serious as possible to make themselves not look like a rice bucket.

  Everyone knows the reason for the bad atmosphere in front of them, but no one wants to mention the thing that is enough to make all the captains of the two fleets of Lordaeron feel ashamed and ashamed.

   And they don't want to talk not just because of shame, but because they have more headaches to think about at this time.

For example, how to find the main fleet of the elusive undead pirates in the icy sea with complex sea conditions, and make a **** shot, or how to find the flagship of the **** North Sea pirate "Annie" in the icy waves The Queen" delivered a devastating blow.

At least one or two small-scale victories at sea in the past month to cover up the last time because of the Gilnean werewolf mutiny, the North Sea pirates rushed into the fearless fortress at night to loot and almost burned the alliance. The big scandal at the naval base.

   But speaking, although this humiliating defeat has become the hottest news in the Eastern Continent's circles of all social classes recently, the fundamental reason is that the failure of that night cannot be blamed on the commanders of the Lordaeron Fleet.

   They are really not all rice buckets.

   But they really couldn't predict in advance that the werewolves would suddenly defect.

   After the chaos caused by the werewolf mutiny, the navy of Lordaeron handled it perfectly, controlling the extension of the riot in just over half an hour, which was absolutely amazing.

   But just this half an hour was enough for the North Sea pirates who had lost their **** luck to use a brilliant raid to nail the Lordaeron Navy to the pillar of shame in the sea.

   is really a pillar of shame.

Less than three days after the looting of Dreadnought, a letter of condolence from Kul Tiras was delivered to the old Terenas King. In that letter, Admiral Daelin stated that as long as Lordaeron was required If needed, the Kul Tiras Navy will definitely help.

   After all, as the first naval power in Azeroth, Kul Tiras has the obligation to provide naval experience support to backward countries.

  Admiral Dai Lin's words of Wen Crepe can be translated as:

  Everyone seeks a life at sea, you navy of Lordaeron should be ashamed!

  It is said that on the day the letter was received, the old king lost his favorite walking stick and a royal desk, and then the old king also wrote a stern letter to the admiral.

  So, the pressure suddenly came to all the captains of the two Lordaeron fleets.

   "What are you all doing with a dead face? I'm not asking you to perform pantomimes, so listen to me. I'm not here to scold you or punish you today.

   I mean, you did make mistakes, but now you have a chance to make up for them! "

   At the top of the conference table, Field Marshal Barry Westwin, who was holding an emergency meeting, was very calm.

   This middle-aged man with dark hair mixed with some gray took off his navy pipe and said a few words, which immediately relaxed the atmosphere in the conference room a lot.

  The old marshal was wearing an old but neat navy uniform. Apart from the golden sash representing the marshal's identity and the marshal's command knife on his waist, he had almost no extra decoration.

   "Everyone, the content of today's meeting must not be shared!"

   After seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room had recovered, he coughed and said the order first. This battle order caused all the captains present to stand up in unison.

   But the next moment the old marshal waved his hand again, motioning them to sit down, and then he said slowly:

"Just now, I received a piece of news, a piece of news that surprised me but couldn't pretend I didn't see it. Three hours ago, the Quel'dorei elves' fleet was returning from a routine patrol. Encountered on the shores of the Dragonblight and the main fleet of undead pirates.

  Unfortunately, the two ships of the elves were annihilated, and they were captured by the pirates together with the ships and people.

   But that's not the point.

   The point is that the two ships sent a message back to the Elven Fleet Command before they were captured.

   The elf crew saw with their own eyes that the main North Sea pirate battleship that had been 'hiding and seeking' with us gathered together and was heading towards the Howling Fjord under the cover of the ocean fog. "

  Marshal Barry said this, and glanced at the captains in the conference room. He looked at these commanders who he personally selected and promoted, with different ages and backgrounds. He said with emphasis:

   "The elves sent me a magic image to prove that their sailors were not lying.

In that video, there are not only the flagship Queen Anne of the North Sea Pirates, but also the famous North Sea ghost ship 'Jotunheim Power' and the **** ghost gunship 'Sister Mercy' that is so powerful that the fire is so powerful No'.

  These three ships are the absolute main force of the North Sea pirate fleet, and they come together to prove that the pirates have a big move.

  So I asked our mage friends who were stationed in Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills. The spellcasters in Dalaran soon sent exact news that a large number of pirate ships had gathered near Rogue Harbor, the base camp of the North Sea pirates.

   And a small number of pirate ships were found in various sea areas, and they were telling the rogue port to move forward.

Another piece of good news is that the 2nd Fleet's first class warship 'Andorhal' and her two escorts routed a five-ship pirate fleet off Grizzly Hills early this morning, destroying three Two ships were captured, and by the way, hundreds of pirates who escaped death were captured.

   This can also prove that the information of the mages is accurate.

  My captains.

   I don't know what the North Sea pirates are planning to do when they suddenly choose to shrink their strategy and assemble at their base camp. Maybe it's because I'm too old and my brain is not enough.

   Anyway, I decided to ask you young people for your opinion.

   In the face of this situation, what do you think we should do? "
