Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 633 186. I am a Kul Tiran, hanging pirates is our fine tradition

   "We lost Shad Walker, its connection to the ritual was broken, and a powerful force attacked and hurt it. We lost track of that ghost ship, which has dived into the deep sea."

   A low, hoarse voice sounded in a house full of unpleasant smells.

   This voice conveyed bad news to a group of dark witches who were carrying out strange rituals and dressed up as gods.

"Without Shadwalker to guide, the Gilnean fleet could not stop the ship from changing course. To guarantee the victory we promised Genn Greymane and his lords, we must call upon powerful otherworldly lords. !

immediately! "

   That voice urged again, which caused dissatisfaction among the comrades.

   "I think you're crazy! The last time we summoned the Moon Eater, it only existed in the material world for less than ten seconds, and it destroyed the village where we were hiding.

   If it wasn't for that accident, how could we have ended up being dogs for the Greymane royal family! "

   Another muffled voice with a sore throat retorted:

   "You're going to die! I'm not going to take part in this kind of horrific work."

   This sentence immediately won the approval of many people in the dark room.

   They either snorted or waved their hands in support, but soon, the leader of the "Big Witch of the Swamp" spoke up.

   She stepped down from the crunching attic, barefoot, leaning on an evil and hazy bone staff adorned with obscure little decorations.

   spoke to his impotent and timid followers in a strangely accented human language:

   "The last failure was because we lacked the magic crystal to manipulate it, and now King Jean has provided us with enough crystals!

   We've made the Gate Stone, which is now placed on Gilnean battleships.

   There are hundreds of kilometers away from us, what are you afraid of?

   Even if that monster really gets out of control, it can't hurt us! And compared to this little risk, think more about the reward of this adventure, my pathetic followers. "

   The mysterious big witch sneered and mercilessly pierced the bottom of the group of "forest witches" who were now looking like a human being.

   she yelled loudly:

   "Before I joined you, you were nothing but a bunch of losers hiding in the dark forest by scaring children and old people to grab the scraps!

   The 'black magic' you are so proud of is so weak that even a mouse can't be killed!

  You only live by the alms of those cowards, living like the old dogs hiding in the dark, a single bone can make you kill each other.

it's me!

  It was I who led you to rise, it was I who led you to sneak attack on that old madman, and it was I who brought you real power.

   I helped you earn your respect.

  You should obey my orders, otherwise I will let you taste the taste of despair in the past. Do you want to go back to the past?

tell me!

   Do you want to? "

  No one answered her, and no one dared to refute her at this time, the big witch snorted and said in a cold tone:

   "Gene Greymane is not a man to count on.

   The conversation he had with us showed his arrogance and ruthlessness, maybe after we helped him achieve his goal and captured the island, we would have been mercilessly killed by him.

   But listen to me you idiots!

   We are perfectly safe until we lose our worth, and when we show our worth, even the grimest kings and chieftains will reconsider the meaning of our existence.

   Your arguing is pointless and boring to me.

Now!

   Immediately prepare to summon the ‘Moon Eater’.

   This is the best way we can show our worth to the ruthless His Majesty Jean.

  If you want wealth, status, and respect, you must take it with your own hands! As long as it is done this time, you will have whatever you want.

   Even if it is a secret territory that you can't ask for, Jean will generously give it to you.

   That ghost ship is our reward.

   Come to think of it, as long as we get that ghost ship that can navigate underwater and travel around the world, we don't have to look at Gene's face anymore. "

   These words were reasonable and reasonable, and the forest witches who were arguing in front of them all clenched their hands, and flames ignited in their eyes.

   This in itself is a very simple truth.

   It's just that this group of "witches" who have too low a vision simply can't recognize this level.

   Speaking of which, strange things like "witches" are not only found in Gilneas.

  There are similar legends in the land where human beings exist.

   Probably because of the pursuit and yearning for supernatural power by human beings themselves, ordinary people who cannot become mages also yearn for this power, which led to the legends of witches and wizards everywhere.

   But in the eyes of orthodox spellcasters, the so-called witches and wizards are just some poor creatures who can't walk on the path of orthodox spellcasters and seek whatever power they can get without discrimination.

   They are limited to qualifications and resources, and the supernatural powers that they can obtain are often weak and worthless. Most of them are "magic tricks" or things related to "curses".

  Noble masters don't look down on these corners and corners, and the power is not worth mentioning.

   But the real spellcasters are often far away from the commoners, which gives witches and wizards room to play tricks.

   They are a force between the two worlds of "magic" and "ordinary", the product of the interaction of "knowledge" and "ignorance". Among the "dark incidents" that the pastors of the Church of the Holy Light deal with on weekdays, nine out of ten are related to these unspeakable people.

   And most of them are associated with dark and evil labels.

  For example, the "Poison Heart Witch Guild" in the Drustwa Mountains of Kul Tiras is a clear example. That **** organization has now been almost wiped out by the Waycrest family.

   And the forest witches of Gilneas are worse than the ungodly witches.

   These guys don't even have a complete set of dark witchcraft heritage.

   They are a group of poor women who have been excluded from their respective villages for various reasons. In order not to be bullied, and their simple goal of survival, they united and acted as a ghost.

   Well, it used to be.

   But the arrival of "The Great Witch" changed all that.

   She is an ambitious lady.

In the second month after joining the forest witch, she took a group of witches who obeyed her, and used the low-level "seduction" tactics in the dark to "sneak attack" the old mage who was exiled to this forest by Dalaran. ur.

  This "attack" indirectly caused the death of the old, but immortal old Ur, and stole some forbidden knowledge from Ur.

   The reason why he didn't take the entire Book of Ur is also very simple.

  The big witch found Ur's identity emblem. She knew that the bad old man who was very good at playing was the real archmage of Dalaran.

   She was afraid that once she took the whole book, Dalaran would be hunted down. With the strength of the Forest Witch, any team of war mages could easily destroy them.

   But this "big witch" has poisonous eyes.

   After reading the Book of Ur, she keenly found the most valuable set of summoning spells, and fled with it to the dark forest in the Valley of Winds in the south of Gilneas.

   In the end, a failed summon led them to be discovered by the agents of the Greymane royal family, and this is the current scene.

   "What are you still doing!"

  The big witch waved her bone staff and yelled loudly:

   "Shadwalker was caught, which means that summons of the same level are useless to those pirates! Immediately prepare for the ritual of summoning the Moon Eater, hurry up and prepare, you incompetent idiots!"

   In her scolding, the witches in the room were in a mess, and the big witch who was watching shook her head for a while.

   If there is no better choice, how can she mix with this group of trash, if she can have three shadow council warlocks under her command

  Oh, forget it, I don't want to.

After    Gul'dan's death, the Shadow Council was dead in name only, and it's good that her little warlock and dark shaman survived the war.

   Can't ask for more.

   "When I get that ghost ship, I will sacrifice all of you!"

  The Great Witch whispered viciously, then turned around and walked up to the attic to make the final preparations before summoning otherworldly creatures. At the same time, in Keel Harbor, the only large port city in Gilneas, a portal opened in front of the Keel Harbor Church.

   Under the curious gaze of the old priest who was cleaning the ground outside the church, a man and a woman, guarded by a group of people, strode out of the portal.

   "Dragon Bone, I really miss it. I was a little boy when I came last time."

   Wearing a traditional Gilnean dress, Dai Lin played with the seals on her fingers and looked at the city in front of her with nostalgia.

   Mrs. Jinjian, who was beside him, did not have such a cheerful mood.

   She urged in a low voice:

   "Come on, stop looking at the scenery.

Fenna, the wild girl, left me a letter and took the prince's collection and went to sea with the pirates. We must bring her back from the mysterious ghost ship before the Gilnean fleet battle. ! "

   "Decisive battle?"

   Dai Lin pouted and said:

   "I don't think the Gilneas will think about a showdown.

   As far as their toy fleet is concerned, as long as the pirates who occupied Tol Barad can fight a little bit, today's naval battle will end in an embarrassing ending.

  I told Genn twenty years ago that as a Gilnean don't think about wandering the sea, they are not welcome in the endless sea.

   But Gene wouldn't listen to me.

   spent a lot of effort to create this 'decent' navy, what is this trying to do? Challenge the maritime supremacy of the Kul Tirans?

   Hehe, it's as ridiculous as a baby challenging an adult. "

   "Are you going or not?"

   Mrs. Jinjian pinched Dai Lin's wrist and said angrily:

   "I don't have time to listen to you here complaining about your stupid brother Barabara, that's your daughter! If you don't care, I'll go back to Quel'Thalas now by myself."

   "Turn! How can it be ignored?"

   Dai Lin hurriedly comforted:

   "Don't worry, we'll go to their military port now, and we'll set sail to Khaz Modan waters immediately, okay? Don't be angry."

   "It's too late."

   Mrs. Golden Sword shook her head and said:

   "It takes at least four days to travel from Keelport to Khaz Modan"

   "In time, ma'am."

  The tide sage, Brother Zelin, behind Dai Lin replied softly with a smile:

   "We have three high-level sea sages here, the only thing that can restrict our speed is whether the Gilnean warships are strong enough to withstand the high-speed beat of the tide.

   If we call the tide with all our strength, it will only take four hours from here to the sea of ​​Khaz Modan. "

   "Let's go then!"

   The elf mage urged again.

   Dai Lin nodded to the old priest behind her. Then, leaning on the sailor sword around her waist, she took her several great knights and three sea sages to the Dragon Bone Harbor Naval Port.

Coincidentally, a newly launched warship was about to set sail for the scheduled battlefield, and when Daelin boarded the ship, Duke Darius Crowley, the northern lord of Gilneas, was patrolling his ship "Northern Lord." "No.

   "Your Majesty Dai Lin, what wind brought you to this place?"

   Seeing Dai Lin appear, the tall and brave northern lord immediately lit up. He strode forward, shook hands with Dai Lin, and said boldly:

   "Just so, our Gilneas fleet is going to expel the **** pirates, we have made all the preparations, and this time we will be able to be ashamed.

  I am honored to invite the best naval commander in the world, you, at this moment, to witness our victory. Of course, I also have a small request.

  Please command your magical tide sages, summon the power of the sea, and send us to the battlefield as soon as possible. "

   Having said this, the northern lord said dissatisfiedly:

   "I was also supposed to be the commander in the fleet that set off early, but my new ship was launched two days late because the guns were not in place, and I almost missed the battle.

  With the elven mages at Nar'Thalas College minding their own business, I'm more than happy to drive my new ship and send those pirates to the bottom of the ocean! "

   "Hahaha, it's really a soldier's standard speech."

   Dai Lin laughed and waved the Haixians into their seats.

   The new ship under his feet is clearly a battleship made by the Gilneas who stole the shipbuilding blueprints of Kul Tiras, and even has a compartment in the **** reserved for the tide sages to cast spells.

   is completely copied, without any creativity or improvement.

The admiral    hid his contempt and disdain in his heart, and said to the northern lord of Gilneas with a smile on the surface:

   "I am a standard Kul Tiran. As we all know, before we Kul Tirans die, we must watch at least 30 scenes of pirates being hanged before our life is complete.

   Of course I would love to see shameless and evil pirates defeated by you.

   I'm also ready to learn some lessons and skills from the Gilneas Navy, well, that's it. "

   "I feel like you're mocking us, Your Majesty Dalene."

  Darius Crowley is a standard fighter.

   The bravest commander in Gilneas waved his hand and ordered the sailors to leave the port.

   He glanced at Lady Jinjian next to Dai Lin, shrugged, and said:

   "But you do have the qualifications to ridicule us. For the sake of your beautiful company today, I won't ask you for 'trouble', come to the captain's room.

   I happened to explain our tactics for you.

  If possible, I would also like to ask you to help us revise the strategy of this war.

  We want to win!

  We're going to hang the leader of the pirates, hang that **** named Blake Shaw on the dock to dry, and we're going to put his ghost ship in the museum. "

   "No no no, it would be a shame to just kill them like that.

  According to my guess, the pirate leader named 'Black' must have a lot of treasure waiting to be collected. If you want to develop a strong navy, then this is a major source of fleet income. "

   Dai Lin raised her eyebrows when she heard Blake's name, but nodded solemnly and said:

   "If I can catch that shameful pirate this time, I'd be happy to show you personally the skills of our Kul Tirans in interrogating pirates.

   And there will be a place for him in the Toldago Black Prison.

   Of course, if I help, I will ask him for half of the captured pirate treasure! "

   "How greedy, Your Majesty Dailin."

  The Lord of the North shrugged and said:

   "We'll talk about it after the victory, and at most one-fifth of your salary as a 'consultant' will be given."
