Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 804 135. Son, Dad will give you a little more warning, come back honestly and inherit the family business-【Monthly Pass】

   "Gene, come, have a drink."

   When Gene was invited to Dai Lin's cabin, the admiral got up to greet him enthusiastically. He looked at Gene's not so good face and his herbal smell, and joked:

   "It's been almost half a month since you came to Kul Tiras. Are you still not used to the life on the ship? Look at your ugly face, do you want to give you a trash can as a vomit bag?"

   "What nonsense?"

  Gene took the wine glass that Dai Lin handed over, glared at the friend, he shook his head and said:

   "It's not about the ship, it's not about the bad food you have here, and it's not about your lack of morals, you bastards. It's my country's internal affairs.

   I just received news that a baron's castle on the edge of the northern lord's domain was breached by those werewolves. "

"Um?"

   Dai Lin's expression also became subtle.

   He invited Gene to sit down and asked in a low tone:

   "Didn't you say, those werewolves still live and hunt in the forest? How can they break through a fully armed castle? Their power has swelled to this point?"

   "I haven't received the specific information yet, but there should be a traitor who is playing tricks on it."

  Jean took a sip of wine with a bad look on his face and said:

   "It's the 'wolf worship' that I told you last time. They used dangerous language to confuse some ignorant people to work for them, and regard the curse of the werewolf as a 'blessing' to those who crave power.

   There are never many such people.

  I can't stay in Kul Tiras any longer, Daelin, after your daughter's title celebration, I must go back to my country immediately to preside over the situation. "

   "Well, such a bad incident really requires the king to come forward."

   Dai Lin nodded in agreement and said:

"The gain or loss of a castle is only secondary. In terms of absolute strength, those werewolves are still weak in front of the Gilneas army. But this influence is very bad. If you can't quickly calm the fears in the people's hearts, it will only make this werewolf fight. The disaster intensified.

  Do you need me to send an army to support you? "

   "Soldiers don't need it. My soldiers never fear those dark creatures."

  Gene shook his head and said:

   "But Tidesage I need it.

  According to our agreement, I will take Brother Pike and his disciples back to Gilneas to help my people through this disaster with the power of the sea.

   And those Gilnean commanders who were sent to your Naval Academy.

  I hope your officers can teach them well. The undead pirates entrenched in Tol Barad are becoming more and more arrogant. In order to safeguard national interests, Gilneas urgently needs a real navy. "

   "Those kids are fine, I'll take care of them."

   Dai Lin raised her legs and said seriously:

   "Since you have come to Kul Tiras in person, I will do my best to help Gilneas build a navy, whether it is out of personal friendship or the common interests of the human kingdom.

   Just like I helped Stormwind build its navy.

  I would love to share this sea with you, Jean, we are all human, and we should unite to rule this rich sea.

  I didn't hide your plans about me before.

   Want to extend the power of human civilization to this sea, we still have many enemies. Naga, trolls, pirates, and the water elementals that have been active all over the seas lately, etc.

   These are not problems that can be solved by Kul Tiras.

   We must unite.

   It's like we united in war to defeat the orcs. "

  Gene didn't answer right away.

   He leaned back in his chair, feeling the brisk and steady progress of the ship in the water, and after a few seconds of silence, Genn opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

He says:

   "This kind of cooperation at the national level, I can't agree to you casually, Dai Lin, I must first obtain the consent of the domestic nobles. However, if Kul Tiras can provide some of the interests of the South China Sea."

   "Don't think about that, Gene, I can't possibly agree."

   Dai Lin's refusal was neat and tidy.

   He raised his cup and said:

   "That is the sea frontier that Kul Tiras has ruled over three generations, that is the market for all the merchants of my country, and that millions of people live on that route.

   A little change is enough to cause a storm in my country.

  I will not allow anyone to interfere in the trade in the South China Sea, but if you want to imitate our model to relieve your national finances, I have a small suggestion for you. "

   said, Dai Lin stood up, took out a roll of charts from the desk in the cabin, and spread it out in front of Jean.

  The king of Gilneas glanced forward and saw that the chart was not the entire depiction of the Endless Sea, but a survey of the northern continent of Northrend and its surrounding waters.

   This chart is very well done.

   It is at least an order of magnitude more advanced than the North Sea chart currently used by Gilneas, and it clearly marks many inconspicuous islands and the coastline of the entire Northrend.

   "North Sea?"

  Gene blinked, put down the wine glass and stroked the chart, and said to Dai Lin:

   "When did Kul Tiras become interested in setting his sights on that barren continent?"

   "Don't think I don't know about your colonization of Northrend with the people of Lordaeron, Genn, don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the king with the most powerful fleet in the world."

  Daelin stroked her beard and said to Gene:

   "The Kul Tirans explored Northrend much earlier than you think. In my father's generation, after he commanded the army to defeat the pirates occupied in the North Sea, he sent Haixian there to explore the sea.

  What is there, I know by heart the materials that are abundant there.

   But as you said, the Northrend continent is a bitter and cold place compared to the South China Sea. We already have a rich South China Sea, so we are not very interested in operating the North Sea.

   This gave your two nations the chance to colonize there.

   But I'm not mocking you, Gene.

  I'm just talking about the matter, your efforts to manage the North Sea are too poor. Your first colonial state was established ten years ago, but now you have not formed an effective rule over the North Sea waters.

I know that Terenas has big ambitions in terms of territory and expansion. It is difficult for him to cooperate with Gilneas to share the North Sea. I also liked to see Gilneas and Lordaeron in the North Sea. Your energy, so that you can't tell the strength to harass the situation in the South China Sea.

   But the problem is that the current situation has changed. "

Admiral    shook his head and put some of the information of the Admiralty he carried on the map. He pointed to the North Sea chart, drew a circle on it, and said to Jean:

   "After the Battle of the Palatine, the Navy provided some resources and sent a spy disguised as a caravan to go around the North Sea.

   I regret to inform you, Gene.

  The undead pirates whom you regard as your enemy are far more powerful than you think.

  Tolbard is not the first territory they occupied. In the icy North Sea, on the continent of Northrend, they have already begun to establish rule in the frozen sea in your place.

   They even set up a port authority in the natural harbor of Howling Fjord and started collecting taxes like a dog!

   Do you know what that means? "

  Jean's face turned ugly.

  Dai Lin's meaning is obvious, this cunning admiral is planning to "borrow a knife to kill people", his own fleet will be deployed in the South China Sea, and there is no way to cross most of the world to the North Sea to exterminate undead pirates.

   So he turned his mind on Gilneas and Lordaeron.

   He is exaggerating the threat of pirates in the North Sea, so as to prompt the two countries to shift their attention to the North Sea in the next step. With the help of the navies of the two countries, they can cut off the power of arrogant undead pirates in the North Sea.

   Very simple plan.

   But it works.

  Because both Gilneas and Lordaeron have established colonial territories in Northrend.

   Zhiyuan County in the Borean Tundra, Amberpine and Silver Creek in the Grizzly Hills, and the Blue Sky Lumber Mill are all overseas territories that the two countries have spent a lot of effort building.

   And they have realized the earning of profits.

The fur trade in Silverbrook Town alone can bring Gene and his people rich rewards every year. The same is true for Lordaeron. It is impossible for the two countries to give up their overseas colonial territories under the threat of pirates. matter.

   The sunk cost is too high.

   "You may be thinking that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Anyway, the tax that the pirates collect in the North Sea is not high, and it is not worth mentioning compared to protecting the interests of the colonial kingdom.

   It is a bit exaggerated to use a fleet to expedition for this purpose.

   But I'm going to tell you, Gene, that you're so wrong. "

  Dailyn picked up the glass and said:

   "Once the pirates have established a firm rule there, your colonial lands will fall into their hands, and they will threaten you with the lives of those innocents.

More importantly, you have already seen Blake Shaw's appeal and destructive power. If he really develops the resources of Northrend, the pirate kingdom that has never existed in the history of Azeroth may become build up.

   This is too bad.

   And I have another bad news for you. "

Admiral    pointed to the side of the guide and said to Jean who was thinking:

   "My two fleets have arrived in the South China Sea, and they will immediately start clearing the South China Sea pirates that have been rampant recently. This is a big operation.

   Those pirates had no choice but to run away.

  The Kalimdor Sea and the Sea of ​​Misty are the territories of the elves. They dare not go there. The route to the eastern continent will be cut off by my fleet, and they cannot go there.

  The only option left to them is the North Sea. Once the undead pirates accept them, the manpower problem that plagues Black Shaw will be resolved immediately.

   That arrogant pirate dared to provoke the Gilneas Navy when he was weak. Can you imagine what kind of sensational things he will do when he is strong?

  You have to make a decision, Gene, and it won't hurt you to sweep the North Sea out of pirates. "

   Dai Lin chuckled lightly, he thumped on the chart, and said:

   "The pirates began to collect taxes there, and they have initially established a rudimentary ruling system. It has to be said that the undead pirates are very professional in this regard.

   They are much better than you have done in the last ten years.

   They imitated our Kul Tiras ruling model in the South China Sea and established an effective cruise system. If you are in the past, you can completely take over this system.

   Even if the two countries share the North Sea equally, the annual profit from trade is considerable. "

  Gene still didn't speak.

   Obviously, the threats and temptations offered by Daelin were not enough to make up the Gilneas who had just suffered a loss at sea. Dai Lin knew that he had to come up with more tempting evidence to convince Gene.

   So after a few seconds, Dai Lin coughed and said:

   "My. um, lover Gina"

   "You can say that she is your lover, Dai Lin."

  Gene raised his head, looked at Daelin, and said:

   "I won't laugh at you because of this, after all, when we served together on the frontier, I chased after those elves, but I failed, you succeeded.

  You not only made the elf fall in love with your prodigal son, but also made her bear a child for you.

   This is not a shameful thing. "

   "Well, my lover, Gina Jinjian, is well-connected in the Silvermoon Council of Quel'Thalas. During this time, I lobbied at the top of Quel'Thalas through her connections."

Admiral    said softly:

   "For you, the loss of dominion over the North Sea is just a matter of face, and even the rise of the North Sea pirates will be trouble in the future, but for the elves, it is a real threat.

   Their sun well is located in the sea between the eastern continent and the Northrend continent. It is said that the magic well is connected to an important node in the magic web of the world.

   I don't know much about magic.

   But I know that once the North Sea pirates completely control the North Sea, they only need to send a fleet to direct the peak of the soldiers to Quel'Danas within two days, threatening the sun well that the elves regard as life.

  Even if the elves have that mysterious enchantment to protect their country, this threat should not be taken lightly. So my messenger persuaded the Sun King without much ado. "

  Dailyn grinned, raised a glass to Gene, and said:

   "As long as Gilneas and Lordaeron are willing to send fleets to the North Sea to expel the pirates, then Quel'Thalas' 'toy navy' will respond quickly and set sail together.

   Their ships can't fight hard battles, but they can still scare people.

  Look, Jean, I have arranged everything for you, you only need to make a decision, I tell you, the speed at which undead pirates make money in the North Sea is terrifying.

   Their trading island is booming, just defeat them and you'll have enough money to rebuild your navy in no time.

  We Kul Tirans accumulated our first wealth by fighting pirates. You can imitate this successful experience. "

   "Why are you so concerned about this matter? I feel that you are particularly interested in undead pirates, and have surpassed your curiosity as an admiral."

  Gene thought for a few minutes, then raised his head and asked:

   "As you said, maintaining a chaotic North Sea is more in the interest of Kul Tiras. Your best option is to watch us face off against the pirates, leaving us powerless to go south.

   But now you have offered to join forces to help us exterminate the pirates.

  What did the undead pirates do to offend you? "

   "This is not."

  Dai Lin took a sip of wine and glanced at an extraordinary oil painting hanging in the cabin. He looked at the immature Derek's immature face on the oil painting.

   He said casually:

   "I just wanted to give these lawless pirates a little warning.

  This sea is not a place where they can go wild, that's all. You can interpret my concern as a Kul Tiran soldier's natural aversion to pirates.

   What are these young people doing?

   Shining someone's shoes in Boralus Harbor is better than being a pirate, right? "
