Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 278 97. Pirates of the North Sea said, the advantage is in me

   "I see the ship! A vrykul ship with a pirate flag on it. Heck! What power is that? I've never seen a pirate flag like this before."

  On the northern sea of ​​Tol Barad, twenty nautical miles from the main island, three large ships are heading for the looming island.

   All three ships fly the same pirate flag.

  The black background, not to mention the skull pattern, is the standard configuration of the pirate flag. A trident is drawn next to the skull, representing the origin of the three pirate ships.

   They are from the North Sea.

   To be precise, it is the icy Northrend continental waters.

   Compared with the South China Sea pirates, the North Sea pirates are less well known, but like their South China Sea counterparts, these **** who loot in the frozen sea are equally despicable, greedy and bloodthirsty.

   On the largest ship, a female pirate with a red cloth wrapped around her head, wearing a white smock, red shorts on her lower body, weird tattoos on her legs and arms, and a nose ring put down her telescope.

   She turned back and shouted to a bunch of lazy guys behind her:

   "There are daggers and crows next to the skeleton. What kind of power is this? Does anyone know?"

  No one answered her.

   Probably no one knows, and no one is interested in answering.

  Because the condition of the pirates on this ship is not very good, the people who are on the deck are basically all injured, and only a few have no bandages and scars on their bodies.

   Apparently, they had just gone through a fierce battle before.

   "You bastards!"

  The tattooed female pirate didn't hear the answer, and immediately cursed.

   but still no response.

   This made the female pirate as the temporary first officer very dissatisfied. She raised her telescope and looked at the vrykul dragon-headed warship that was rushing towards it very fast.

   estimated the distance between the two sides, then leaned on his sailor knife, grabbed the cable at hand, kicked the rudder next to him, and the whole person was caught by the moving cable and flew into the fore mast in the next instant.

The    is as quick as a monkey, traversing the net of the boat, jumping and rushing to the stern of the boat.

   With such agile movements, she was able to walk flat on the swaying ship. At first glance, she looked like an old pirate, but she was very young and probably grew up on the ship since she was a child.

   "Lord Anne, there is a pirate ship of unknown power approaching us, coming from the direction of Tol Barad."

   As soon as she rushed into the captain's room, the tattooed woman smelled the pungent herbal smell. There must be wounded here, and on the captain's seat in front of her was sitting a female pirate wearing a captain's uniform.

   Wearing a pirate hat with the North Sea pirate logo, a long trench coat and a set of red leather armor, a dagger hanging from his waist, a sailor sword in his hand, and no blindfold.

   She should be in her thirties, her weather-beaten skin is not very delicate, but her eyes are sharp and light, and at first glance, she is not a character to deal with.

   However, now this shrewd and powerful female captain looked haggard, and there was a thick bandage wrapped around her chest, with blood oozing from it.

   This means that she has just saved her life from a deadly attack.

   "A ship from Tol Barad?"

   Hearing the chief mate's report, the haggard female captain suddenly raised her head and said:

   "Those merchants from Lordaeron, don't they say that Tol Barad has been destroyed by the orcs? It's been abandoned for more than a year, how can there still be pirate ships?

   Was our colleague occupied that island? Marci, can you recognize their logo? "

   "I don't know, Captain."

  The tattooed female chief mate Marchy shook her head and replied with the cunning of an old pirate:

   "But they only have one boat, or a small boat, with dozens of people at most. We have three boats with nearly 600 people. Although there are many wounded, our firepower is strong.

   They are not our opponents.

Even if they rob Tol Barad, we can easily get it back, recuperate there, recruit some new people on board, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the Kul Tirans to beat the orcs and rush into Gilneas and Arathi. Take a peek.

   Until the Kul Tirans find us, we can take what we looted and go back to the North Sea, or go to Kalimdor and find a new home port. "

   Having said this, the tattoo officer gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

   "Yona has gone mad. He and the mad dogs under his command have attacked us, and they must return ten times in the future!"

   "Let's not talk first and then cough."

   Captain Anne Bonn, who was sitting in the captain's cabin, waved his hand. This movement affected the wound, causing her to cough a few times in pain. Marci immediately sent a bottle of rum up.

   The female captain took a sip of wine, using the refreshment brought by alcohol to numb the pain on her body.

   This sip of wine also made her face ruddy.

   She wiped her mouth and said to the first officer in front of her:

   "We failed in the fire and now desperately need a place to recuperate. Those who have captured Tol Barad, talk to them.

   It’s best if you don’t fight.

  If they don't give face, they can only attack.

  Send a signal to Harry and Terry to get their ships ready, and sink the opponent's ship as soon as they want to fight! Then land from the village of Losberg.

   We have a map left by Captain Elles, and decades are not enough to change the topography of that island.

  Don't go to Cape Lost Hope.

   There are too many reefs over there, and it is difficult to get out once you go in. "

   As she spoke, Captain Anne's cheeks turned pale again, she rubbed her head and said:

   "This battle, you and the three of you come to fight, I will rest for a while. Settle down. I have to go to the mainland quickly and bring back a few doctors, preferably a priest.

   The dagger that Jonah stabbed me with is odd.

   I can feel my life force passing fast, hell

   My head hurts. "

   She said this, raised the wine bottle in her hand, drank the rest of the wine, tilted her head, leaned on the seat, and soon fell asleep.

   First mate Marchie looked distressed.

   She was once a "trophy" after a raid by the North Sea pirates. Those stinky pirates originally planned to sell her only ten years old to a slave trader, but Captain Anne stopped her.

She grew up under the protection of Captain Anne Bonn, the second-in-command of the North Sea pirates. Although Anne is usually very strict with her, in Marchie's mind, the captain in front of her is the only one in the entire pirate group who can trusted person.

   "Go to sleep, Captain. I'll find a doctor for you, and I won't let you leave me."

  The tattooed woman Marcy stretched out her hand, put a dirty blanket over Annie, picked up the map by her hand, and opened it to take a look.

The    map depicts the detailed topography of the island of Tol Barad.

This was drawn before the North Sea pirates were driven out of the island by the Kul Tiras fleet. According to Captain Greyson, in his time, more than a hundred years ago, Tol Barad was the home port of the North Sea pirates. .

   Soon, the first mate who took over the ship gave the battle order, and then used the tame seagull to take his order to the other two ships.

   They made a plan.

  Anne asked Marchi to negotiate with the unknown pirates on Tol Barad Island first, but the first officer, anxious to rescue the captain, skipped the process. Anne was stabbed by the insurgents, and now the situation is bad.

   Our own side has advantages, how can I have time to negotiate with these youngsters in the pirate world?

  嘁.

  Obviously occupied Tol Barad, but only sent a small boat without even artillery to fight, how could those unknown pirates be strong?

   How could they be the opponents of the North Sea fanatics forged in the storms, sea monsters and freezing cold of the frozen sea?

   What's more, these three ships also have the "secret weapon" of the North Sea pirates.

   "Six hundred and sixty"

   When the grotesque vrykul boat in front of her came within range, the tattooed female pirate holding a torch sneered and adjusted the gun positions on the deck herself.

   Then use a torch to light the fuze of the cannonball.

   She said with a sneer:

   "We'll be damned if we can lose! I have the advantage, this battle is stable!"

—

   "bang, bang, bang"

  The Power of Jotunheim is extremely fast at sea. This shallow-drafted dragon-headed warhammer, under the sails of Captain Grayson himself, walked in a quite snakeskin position, avoiding the artillery bombardment of the three ships behind.

   Around this fast-moving ship, the flying cannonballs smashed into the water, creating a water column, but this kind of uncalibrated artillery shelling in pursuit battles is difficult to hit small fast targets.

   "What an arrogant bastard."

   Captain Ghost glanced back, spat to the side, and cursed:

   "They didn't even enter the gun emplacement, and they fired forward in a sailing state. It seems that this group of North Sea pirates are confident, stupid and arrogant, which is really a shame to their predecessors.

  In my time, the leader of the North Sea pirates, 'Blackheart' Elles and his 'Sister Mercy', were the idols of all pirates!

   The once invincible Beihai fanatic has not fallen in the past 100 years. "

   "Ah, arrogant pirate, come and fencing with me, I will take the crown of the sea on the waves of thousands of miles, and dedicate it to the girl I love the most in my life."

  The madly handsome ghost swordsman Romeo will stand behind the ship's side, swinging his sword towards the sky and the sea, while shouting savory love words.

   made the group of orcs and trolls who were manipulating the harpoon guns look at each other.

But sitting on the ship, the ghost Juliet, whose brain is also not very normal, held her heart in both hands, and did not care about the danger that the ship would be hit by a shell at any time, and looked at her lover with a crazy face. prestige.

   "Uncle Pirates! Why don't you beat them?"

   Little Dorothy watched in awe that her ship could only escape under the shelling of the three ships behind, she looked up at Captain Grayson, and said dissatisfiedly:

   "Let's rush over and I'll let Totti bite those bad guys!"

   "Oops, we're fishing as bait, idiot."

  Captain Grayson steered the sails of the ship, maintaining a speed that was neither fast nor slow, constantly changing the course in the water column of the shelling, while saying to the little Dorothy under his feet:

   "If you scare them, how can you lure them into the bait? Harpoon guns? Bastards, fight back! Let them see our weakness and make them believe in our escape."

   Following the captain's scolding, several harpoon guns on the Jotunheim Force also opened fire.

   However, in close combat, these large crossbows may be comparable to artillery in terms of destructive power. In the current chase, the harpoon cannot be aimed at all, and the target will be lost when fired.

   "Ahahaha! Those idiots, trying to harpoon us, what are they? Are they primitive people? Hahahaha"

   The counterattack of the boat in front of him made the North Sea pirates laugh wildly, and it also made them more reassuring and bold to use the artillery pushed from the deck, just like the cat teasing the mouse, constantly using cannonballs to intimidate the boat in front of them.

   In this three-chasing and one-flight chase, the four ships approached Tol Barad Island, and when they were about to sail to the Cape of Lost Hope, the first mate Marchy on the flagship sneered.

  This tattooed female pirate had been instructed by Mrs. Anne before, and she would see the boat lead them to the bay full of large and small islands and reefs, and immediately flagged and told the other two boats to stop chasing.

   "Want to fight an ambush? Think beautiful!"

  The female pirate spat rudely, dropped the telescopic sight on the stern, pushed the helmsman away, grabbed the steering wheel herself, and steered the big ship to change course, heading northeast of Losberg Village.

  The coast there is gentle and suitable for landing.

   "No, they're going to run!"

  Captain Grayson saw the North Sea Pirates' flagship change direction, and immediately realized that the bait plan had failed. The ghost captain gritted his teeth and manipulated the sails, making the Dragon Head warship flexibly turn around on the sea.

   Changed the style of fleeing in embarrassment just now, like a brave warrior, and launched a sea charge against the nearest pirate ship.

   This is his first mission to join the Undead Fleet.

   If he just failed like this, he would have to lose himself in front of a group of offspring.

   "Commander Black has always told me that you are the most valiant fighters under his command, and you will definitely make your name on the sea in the future! But I don't really believe you landlubbers."

  Greyson charged towards a pirate ship three times larger than his own, and shouted at the undead pirates on board:

   "When Lao Tzu roamed the sea and looted wildly, your fathers hadn't been born yet! You rubbish, now have a chance to prove to me that Commander Black's praise to you is not bragging!"

   "Take up arms, undead pirates!"

   "Prepare to attack and seize the ship! To these arrogant Yankees, see how good we are!"
