Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 858 188. Be careful with her, the daughter of the sea -- add more updates for Huo Zheng's good brother [1820]

  Black returned to Tol Barad this time without being greeted by his incompetent subordinates.

   There is only one Maim and Evil Eye waiting there on the pier. The reason is that the subordinates who started with the stinky pirates already have their own "careers".

  The little fox man Eudora has focused on the Wharton Trading Company and started a business career. It is said that she is now running back and forth between several commercial ports in the North Sea and the Eastern Continent, trying to build her own trade network.

   Several human captains of the North Sea "Crazy Gang" will still cruise around in the seas of Northrend, strengthening the foundation of the undead pirates' rule over the frozen sea.

   "Pirate King of the North Sea" Anne Bonn sent back a letter last time saying that she was recruiting vrykul and yak people. I heard that the progress was good, and Black's command was about to have an additional vrykul stormtrooper.

   This is a great thing.

Miss Anaris Moonshire, the pirate leader of the Nightborne, who has always pulled her hips, was also unwilling. Just a week before the Naglfar returned to Tol Barad, she had just led her six ships to her powerful Headed by the flagship "Pride of Yuejun", they went to Beihai to support the gangsters, and by the way they practiced their troops.

   Even the trio of warlocks who specialize in "flattery" are now forced to separate.

The skinny boy Kanrisad and his apprentice Bijuka stayed in Kul Tiras to recruit talented apprentice warlocks, and the troll Zalak went to Stranglethorn to cruise, also in time for the school season of Nar'Thalas. Recruit enough troll apprentices before you arrive.

  Evil Eye also wanted to build his own warlock force, but he was an orc.

   As we all know, greenskins have no human rights in the Eastern Continent. If he dares to go out, he will face pursuit.

   And now most of the orcs have been gathered in Blackrock Mountain.

  Red Blackhand took the search for orcs with warlock talent as a "political task", so the orc warlocks didn't need Evil Eye to find them personally, they would be sent over by Red.

Not only the apprentices of warlocks were sent here, but also some orc warriors who were good at fighting. The elites selected from various clans were called "to gain prestige for the orthodox tribe", but they were actually sent to Red's younger brother Maim. Be an armed sailor.

  Oh, that rough man Reid knows how to feel sorry for his younger brother.

  The Great Chief, who finally gained a firm foothold in Blackrock Mountain, began to "feedback" to Black's career, making Maim's newly established orc "Blackrock Fleet" full of energetic, fearless greenskins.

   To sum up, even if Black is not in Tol Barad, his pirate career is still booming, and the reason is probably that Black has a good foundation.

  After surviving the most difficult "entrepreneurial stage", this "pirate trust" finally had the ability to self-create blood and entered the stage of expansion.

   "This magical enchantment is really wonderful. With it, Tol Barad is impregnable."

   On the ghost ship that was slowly docked, Mrs. Catherine was still looking back at the Great Barrier of the Shadow of Foliage that enveloped this sea area. She complimented the defense system of her son's territory.

   did not appreciate Black's pirate career.

   Because there is nothing to praise.

  As the queen of Kul Tiras, Lady Catherine is well aware of the biggest drawbacks of the pirate industry. The main reason why the undead fleet is flourishing now is because the pirates follow a good boss.

  Blake Shaw's existence is the only core that unites the undead fleet, and his reputation allows him to easily overwhelm the various complaints of his subordinates.

   But as long as Blake Shaw fails, or unfortunately dies, the undead pirates, who now seem to be developing rapidly, will instantly fall into a split infighting.

   In particular, Black gave them the power to freely form a peripheral fleet, which made the power in the hands of a group of pirate elders who followed Black to "fight the country" rapidly expanded.

  Who wants to be subservient to others?

   As long as the core of the fleet loses its ability to suppress, from Mrs. Catherine's vicious eyes, the undead fleet will instantly split into several forces, large and small.

   does not even need foreign oppression.

   They themselves will fight for "Black Legacy".

   "Your faction of the Uncrowned has been underutilized, and the Assassins who are so committed to you and instilled in you with lofty aspirations can do more.

   They should be your eyes, your fingers, and the shackles you throw.

   They can change the world for you, and they can bind loyalty for you. "

   When stepping on the pier board, Lady Catherine with nine rings on her hand watched the lively and chaotic scene on the pier, as well as the chaotic and vibrant buildings in the distant town of Losberg.

   She whispered to Blake beside her:

   "I know you don't care about people's hearts, let alone force loyalty. Throughout history, all the founding monarchs have this idea. They are confident that their personality charm can overwhelm everything.

   But if you want a power to last for a long time, then a set of laws that work from the bottom up is necessary.

   Every fleet under your command should have at least two Uncrowned Assassins on every ship, and they should lurk among the crew as an extension of your rule.

   They can see every aspect of your pirate kingdom for you, as well as 'enforce allegiance' for you when necessary.

   When your captains realize that the cost of betrayal is so high, their greed will give way to reason. My child, you do not believe that human nature is right.

   But this suspicion can also be your weapon. "

   "Well, that's why I don't like politics."

  Blake pouted and said:

   "I just treat them as cannon fodder and never talk to them, so that I don't feel guilty when I abandon them. But my mother insisted that I treat them as my subjects.

  Mother, you should know that every loyalty is a responsibility to the monarch. The so-called loyalty is actually a 'two-way contract', and no matter how crazy the monarch will feel pressure and condemnation. "

   "You describe yourself as ruthless, yet you have more emotions inside than any king I have ever seen."

   Mrs. Catherine gently helped Blake adjust the collar, she said softly:

   "You know you can't give up on them, and they know that too, so they follow you willingly. I don't know whether to call you rambunctious or scheming.

   You don't need loyalty.

   But you bind them with affection, the perfect governance that every king aspires to see.

   However, you can do this when there are few people, but you will only have more and more people under your command. "

   "I'll have Moros serve you, mother."

  Blake smiled and said:

   "He has a portion of the uncrowned recruits in his hands."

"Um."

   Lady Catherine nodded and said:

   "When your warlock faction becomes more powerful, they can also become another direct power of yours. You have so many cards at your disposal, which gives me confidence in my future governorship.

   With the dominance you have shown, even if you were to take over as the king of Kul Tiras now, you would be better than Daelin. He is a reckless warrior who knows how to run a country.

   or my son is more powerful. "

   "Compliments like yours spoil me, Mom."

  Black shook his head and said:

   "You should be stricter with your child, if you want him to be a talent."

After speaking, the stinky pirate beckoned to Maim and Evil Eye, and the two greenskins strode forward, just about to say hello to the captain, but suddenly heard Blake pointing at the human woman wearing the magical mask of the Night Son and saying :

"This is the governor of Tol Barad who I appointed. She will be responsible for ruling our core area. In the case that I cannot command, she will have the power to appoint a 'pirate council' to govern and manage the undead pirates and subordinate areas. command."

"Uh?"

   Maim and Evil Eye looked at each other, and all three eyes saw doubt and consternation.

   This is the captain preparing to train a new confidant? Give so much power? Who is this woman? Looking at her forty years old, although she is well maintained, she is old enough to be Blake's mother.

  Tsk tsk, the captain originally liked this tune.

   Huh. So perverted.

   "I don't even have to guess, I know what disgusting things you are thinking."

  Blake kicked, kicked Evil Eyes butt, and punched Maim on the chest again, beating the two greenskins, and then whispered to them:

   "This is my mother. Respect her as you would your own mother."

   "Ah, so it's Mother Mother!"

  Evil Eye slid smoothly, knelt down in front of Mrs. Catherine on one knee, and said flatteringly:

   "This ruined place can welcome your rule, it is the glory of all undead pirates, we will dedicate our loyalty and carry out all your commands!

   As long as there is dissatisfaction, I am absolutely willing to cut off those bastards' heads for you. "

   Maim is not as dignified as the Evil Eye.

   He still wanted face. This orc with a terrifying burn wound on his face straightened his back and slapped Catherine on his chest, representing obedience to the order.

   Lady Catherine is a human being.

   She doesn't like orcs, but Her Majesty the Queen is a mature ruler. She concealed her disgust for greenskin, raised her hand and waved, indicating that she knew.

   "Your Excellency the Governor, I'm going to the South Island, you can go with me, and the College of Nar'Thalas is over there."

  Black made a gesture to Evil Eye, and the orc warlock immediately ran out, driving a black carriage with an unremarkable appearance to the pier in a short time.

  Black opened the car door and invited Lady Catherine, Finna and Shaw into the car.

  This carriage is unique. As Onyxia prepares a luxury carriage for herself, the constant space inside makes it the size of an apartment.

   Even the well-informed Her Majesty the Queen has seen such a luxurious and restrained luxury for the first time.

   "It will be your car from now on."

  Blake sat on the sofa of the moving carriage, pulled out a bottle of fine wine from the wine cabinet next to him, bit off the cork, and said to Lady Catherine, who was admiring this magical artwork:

   "Anyway, as a pirate who is always floating at sea, I don't need this luxurious thing. As a pirate governor, you must be more lined up when you travel.

  Extremely luxurious is also a way of showing strength.

   And what I want to remind you is that I have a lot of orcs under my command. I know it is difficult for you to trust them. I don’t care if they are suppressed, but I still hope that they can be treated fairly.

  In the line of pirate captains, fairness is the cornerstone of governance, and discrimination will only breed unnecessary rebellion. "

"I know."

  Mrs. Catherine was also sitting on the sofa opposite Blake. She took the glass from Fenna and said to her son:

   "In your words, I'll treat them like talking tools. I'm here to help you, son, and you don't have to worry about me messing with your rule.

   That would only bring our mother-son relationship into an awkward stalemate. "

   "I trust your wisdom, Mom."

   Black took a sip of wine and said:

   "I also believe that you want the Proudmoore family rift to mend, not to create new rifts, and I have no doubts in that regard."

   After half an hour, the carriage drove into the South Island, Blake and Finna got off the bus halfway to the Great Forge, and Lady Catherine and Shaw went to Narsalas College.

  The former is going to visit Dean Lanyue, while the latter is going to collect his "mission reward". All the seals of the Master Assassin are kept in the place of Dean Lanyue.

   "I think your trust in Lady Catherine came a little too quickly."

  Fina, who was riding on her mechanical leopard, complained to Black and said:

   "You didn't accept me so quickly in the first place. It would be as uncomfortable for you to call me my sister as I wanted to kill you, but you were very willing to call me mother."

   "You even eat this vinegar?"

   Riding behind the sky and letting the Hippogryph gallop as a warhorse, Blake brushed his forehead, stretched his voice and said helplessly:

   "What can I do? Blood is an unbreakable bond, Lady Catherine gave me her love without reservation, and I am not a stone without feelings.

  Although there are other reasons, she really wants to protect her lost son. "

   "Aren't you afraid that she will do you harm?"

  Fenna Archfire said:

   "She and Dai Lin are of one mind. This is what my mother said. She said that she has no confidence to shake Lady Catherine's position in Dai Lin's heart."

   "Not afraid."

  Black pointed to his eyes and said:

   "I am a prophet, and I know how Catherine treats her children. In the future clips I have seen, she can even forgive the rebellious daughter who killed Dalene with her own hands, and accepts her without reservation and loves her.

   She is a true mother, for whom family comes first. "

   "Huh? Killed Dai Lin's rebellious daughter with his own hands?"

   Hearing this, Fenna immediately came to her senses.

   she said triumphantly:

   "It must be me, right? In some future, did I kill Daelin with my own hands? Ha, as expected of me. It can't be Jaina, right?

   She is so good, she loves her parents more than anything.

   Even if the world collapses, I don't believe she will raise a butcher's knife to her relatives. "

   This inexplicable complacent emotion caused the magical eyeball on Blake's shoulder to glance at Fenna.

   He was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said:

   "Well, yes, in the future I see, it is you who killed Dalene. Little Jaina is as kind and amiable as she has shown, she has always been a good child."
