boom! boom! boom!
Bursts of gunfire sounded, and hot solid shells rushed out from the muzzles of each gun, and then blasted towards the enemy's ship, instantly punching holes in the opponent's ship, or plowing a path through the crowd. A miserable trace of flesh and blood caused the stumps and blood to spread directly on the enemy's ship...
"Stop attacking!!"
At this time, at the rear of the Orc fleet, the forward ship of the Seventh Fleet had already caught up with the enemy and started the first round of bombardment!
Then, the unlucky orc troop carrier, which was the last to be picked up, was blown apart by shells before it could pick up speed... There were hundreds of orcs, trolls, tauren or boars on board. Waiting, they could only scream, as the sunken wooden boat capsized and fell into the cold sea water.
"Hmph! Don't worry about them, don't waste your time!"
"Continue to pursue at full speed and prepare to attack the next ship! Let those beasts below soak in the water! There is no land or island nearby, and no other ships will pass by. There is only a large whirlpool. Therefore, they are actually already dead!”
When he saw some idle sailors on his boat, they actually took out their muskets and were lining up to slow down the boat and shoot those who had fallen on the sea and were swimming hard or struggling with pieces of broken logs. Admiral Daelin severely reprimanded them when they came to the Horde soldiers.
There is absolutely no need to waste precious ammunition on these ugly beasts that are already destined to die! He believed that the ruthless sea would naturally make them despair and swallow up their miserable lives little by little. This would relieve his anger more than ending their ugly life with a musket!
"Obey, obey..."
Seeing that the Admiral was starting to lose his temper, the soldiers could only aim and shoot the pellets in their muskets at the enemy flopping on the sea, leaving red splashes of the enemy's blood there. , they calmly put away the musket weapons that had been discharged and had become safe, and then everyone turned around and went about their own business.
They knew that Admiral Dai Lin was right. The beasts of those tribes would definitely not survive. However, they had a deep hatred against the orcs and couldn't help but want to experience the feeling of shooting their enemies with muskets. That refreshing feeling of revenge.
…
"Quick! Tie those things tight and use everything you can!"
"And you, throw away all those barrels of water. We have two mages on board. The water-making technique can keep us alive! Throw away all those heavy things!"
At this time, the orcs from some tribes were shouting at the coolies of all tribes to be busy on the ship.
On this huge warship with tusks and horns painted in a rough tribal style, in addition to the sails painted with tribal flags being pulled up, the simple orcs even hung up their clothes. They were hung everywhere they could, whether it was the cable, the edge of the ship, or both sides of the main sail, so that they could fully absorb the power of the north wind and make their ship faster.
"..."
Here, at the front of the tribal fleet, on the leading flagship, Warchief Thrall is standing on the bow, looking a little lonely at the rear of his fleet. There, he can vaguely see the enemy's The fleet seems to have bitten the ship at the rear of their team.
Presumably, many tribal warriors have perished in the sea by now, right? And the reason why such a heartbreaking thing happened is all his fault, Sal, he shouldn't...
well……
"Chief! Now the enemy has caught up. They sank the two troop transport ships behind us. Hundreds of tribal warriors are gone! Now, they have entered the storm area with us. Just give the order quickly!"
Of course, King Saurfang also heard the sound of cannons from behind the fleet. When he heard the lookout on the mast report that his tribe had sunk two troop-carrying warships, he could no longer sit still! Therefore, he immediately walked to the side of the great chief Thrall, waiting for the other party to issue the final order.
"You are right, Saurfang..."
"Now go tell the shamans and let them start the ceremony! Also, the other captains following our ship must pay attention: when the storm starts, no matter what the situation is, they must not slow down. You can't change the course casually, you must follow us closely! Only by following us can you have a chance to rush out!"
"That's all, go ahead and give the order. May the souls of our ancestors protect us..."
After reluctantly saying this to Saurfang, Thrall was in a depressed mood and no longer cared about Saurfang, who was patting his chest and saluting and leaving, let alone looking at the sailing ships in the distance behind him, which were neat and murderous. Instead, he sighed and walked straight to the collision angle of the bow of the ship to stand still.
This time, when the storm starts and becomes violent, Thrall will use all his power to communicate with the currents and storms of the sea, and try his best to bring out as many tribal ships as possible! No matter what, they cannot be surrounded by the enemy here. He must lead the tribe's warriors to escape from the storm area and dangerous whirlpool, and escape from the pursuit of the Seventh Fleet!
However, he couldn't guarantee how many ships and how many tribes of warriors would survive in the end... It would definitely be a terrifying number that he would never dare to imagine.
Woo! Woo!
Soon, as Saurfang ran to give the order personally, waves of distant horns began to sound in the entire orc fleet. They were blowing these battle-like horns to control the situation between the fleets. Delivering Warchief Thrall's final orders.
…
"This is a bit strange..."
Dailin, who was following the tribe fleet and gradually catching up with the enemy, looked at the orc fleet in the distance with some confusion. He found that their sailing direction was very strange. It seemed that they were not cutting along the edge of the maelstrom to a safer place, but heading towards the death direction further inside? !
If you sail like this, with the current wind speed, you will definitely not be able to go anywhere fast! Then, in a few hours, they will be blown directly into the seabed by the ruthless whirlpool and become food for fish! Therefore, Dai Lin was puzzled. Did the other party not understand navigation at all, or did he have other motives?
Anyway, he is very puzzled now and always feels that there is something fishy in the behavior of those orcs!
After hesitating for a while, Admiral Dai Lin stood on the chase height of the bow of the ship, with one foot on the guardrail, observing the enemy's formation attentively, and silently listening to and analyzing the faint sound of horns coming from the other side. Why, I suddenly felt something was wrong! However, he just couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"Report! Your Excellency, Admiral, we found that the wind speed suddenly changed. Look!"
Just when Dai Lin was puzzled about the behavior of the orc fleet and didn't understand what went wrong, a fleet officer who was responsible for observing the wind direction quickly ran to his side and held up a delicate small measuring instrument. Feng Yi reported to him loudly.
Weather or sea conditions, even wind speed, etc., are a particularly important factor in the world of Azeroth where ships and navigation technology are backward! In a regular fleet like the Seventh Fleet, each ship is equipped with one or two professional observation officers who are responsible for observing sea conditions, weather and other data. After all, this is related to the entire ship or the entire fleet. The safety of ships and officers and soldiers must not be taken lightly!
"How can there be changes in this kind of sunny weather? This is not..."
Click~Boom! !
Dai Lin originally thought it was a false alarm, because they had made an assessment before and found that the weather near this sea area was very sunny today, with a north wind of level 3 to 4, so it was unlikely that there would be much change!
But he never thought that before he could finish his words, a bolt from the blue exploded!
Then, dark clouds rolled in the sky instantly, and the north wind that was already there became bigger and more violent! Then, among the rolling dark clouds, lightning quickly appeared one after another, and struck straight down towards the sea!
Fortunately, this seemed to be just ordinary cloud lightning and was not directed at any one party.
"What on earth is going on, and why is there such a ridiculous change in the weather?!"
After traveling across the sea for countless years, Dai Lin has seen a lot of changeable sea conditions and complex weather conditions! As the saying goes, unpredictable things happen in the sky, this is normal! However, in the current situation, there was no warning at all in advance, and the weather changed directly from clear skies to what it was like on the eve of the storm. Isn't this a little too weird? !
Although he still didn't know why it happened like this, Dai Lin knew that this situation was definitely not normal!
"Report to Your Majesty the Admiral!"
"The wind speed is still increasing. The north wind is currently close to level 10, and the waves are as high as eight feet. We are now in a storm area, and heavy rain is about to hit. I suggest that you, the admiral, immediately order a turn and drive to the eastern sea for emergency evacuation. !”
Soon, another naval officer who was checking the sea conditions and responsible for navigation ran over quickly.
They had just estimated the wind speed, and then came to a very dangerous conclusion: once the north wind continues to gradually increase, if they don't run, they are likely to be directly hit by the sudden appearance of the storm in a few hours. Blow into the big whirlpool ahead!
"Your Majesty the Admiral of Kul Tiras! I told you before..."
"If I guessed correctly, this storm should have been caused by those orc shamans? When I discovered them before, they had been performing some strange rituals for several days... and now, from Judging from the direction of the wind, they must have originally planned to blow you directly into the maelstrom?"
"Also, take a look...near the Great Whirlpool, the whirlpool currents here have become more turbulent, the waves have become more violent, and even the sharp north wind has become a bit unusual...This In this situation, it would be very dangerous for even our Naga to stay on the sea! So, Your Excellency, Admiral, you can make an early decision now."
At this time, the female Naga, who had been staying on the boat and enjoyed free sailing for several days, also started to persuade. As a marine creature, they certainly know what this weather means.
If they, the Seventh Fleet of the Navy, don't evade and turn quickly, it will be very dangerous. If they are not careful, it is normal for the entire army to be annihilated.
"Sir! I also think we'd better change our course immediately. Before the storm gets bigger, and while we're still far away from the maelstrom, we can just follow the wind and rush out of the storm area from the southeast!"
"Those orcs have gone crazy and are still rushing towards the whirlpool. Just let them go..."
Seeing that the situation had changed, the first mate of the flagship, who had been silently following Dai Lin, had no choice but to speak in a cryptic manner, and suggested that Dai Lin stop chasing the orcs, lest the gains outweigh the losses.
"Of course I know! But..."
"Look... what are those orcs doing now? They seem to be still accelerating? I don't think those beasts will go crazy like this! They must have some purpose that they have to do this!"
The sea conditions had changed. Although he was unwilling to do so, Dai Lin still did not rush to order a turn. Instead, he looked with a little doubt at the tribal ship in the distance that continued to speed up as if taking advantage of the coming storm without risking his life.
The other party's sailing direction has always been very strange... seems to be planning to cut directly into the maelstrom in the dangerous area? Are they really stupid, or are they ignorant and fearless?
"No, I think I finally understand... They actually want to run away! Ha, interesting! So that's how it is, I really underestimated them!"
"Everyone! I think I finally know their purpose: they want to use the power of the storm to accelerate the ship. As long as the speed is enough, they can run directly out of this dangerous area, directly out of the ocean current control of the maelstrom, and directly escape from us. The pursuit!”
"Look at the map!"
Finally, an idea flashed through Dailin's mind, and he immediately understood the orc's crazy idea. Then, he led everyone to the chart that was nailed to the wooden table. Soon, he marked the current position and course of the orc fleet. The other party wanted to use speed, and with the blessing of the storm, Rush directly through the red danger zone and escape directly!
You know, the Kul Tiran Navy generally only dares to use the whirlpool currents to accelerate in the green area of the maelstrom marked on the map. For large naval ships like theirs, entering the yellow area means danger, but Under the current favorable wind direction, it can be considered safe to enter and exit, but... if it is a red area, they will definitely not dare to approach it!
"So, we can't just run away. We have at least two or three hours to chase them to this sea area! By then, we will turn due east, and the strong north wind will allow us to leave safely!"
"Everyone, let's start sending signals: all ships have full sails and accelerating at full speed!"
"Even those beasts dare to do things, why don't we Kul Tirans dare? Let's catch up quickly, use the north wind to cut towards the edge of the large vortex with all our strength, and then continue to bombard us along the way. Them! Sink them!"
After finally figuring out the reason for the strange way the orcs had reduced their burden and accelerated towards the maelstrom, Dailin laughed out loud for a rare moment!
"They still want to scare us away with storms and whirlpools? That's simply wishful thinking!"
"Humph! We have to teach those stupid orcs a lesson, and we must let them know that the fearless sailing spirit and superb sailing skills of our Kul Tirans will never be matched by them!"
Those orcs, under desperate circumstances, could still think of this method that could allow most of the fleet ships to safely escape from the encirclement and suppression of their Seventh Fleet, which made him admire them very much! Dai Lin felt that there must be a very powerful person in the orc fleet!
Therefore, this strengthened his determination to completely defeat the opponent! Because, admiration is admiration, but only dead enemies are the best enemies!
"My subordinate understands..."
"But Your Excellency, Admiral! Nearly a quarter of our ships are not in good condition. Under such extreme weather and bad sea conditions, I am worried that they will not be able to complete the high-load pursuit mission... …”
Although the first mate understood Dailin's thoughts and purpose, he was still a little worried. Because those ships that had some problems before and did not have time to complete the repairs because they needed to go around the enemy's back were likely to have problems along the way.
If that were the case, if they were accidentally blown into the maelstrom, they would really be doomed!
"It doesn't matter!"
"Send the order: Let the ships in poor condition turn to the southeast in their own formation, and let them go to the northwest corner of Darkmoon Island to wait for us! After we send the orcs into the sea to feed the fish, we will meet them!"
After Dailin looked at the orc fleet in the distance and had seen through the trick, he sneered and gave the order.
If the orcs were just messing around, then he might really not dare to accompany them to their death. But now, since he knows the other party's true purpose, what does he have to worry about? Competing with the skills of navigation and the performance of ships, who were they, the Kul Tirans, and Admiral Dailindai, afraid of? !
They can just catch up all the way, kill and fight happily within a certain period of time!
"Yes! I obey!"
Now that the matter has been sorted out, the first mate has no reason to refuse or disobey orders. This is just like the admiral said, even the orcs dare to fight, why don't they Kul Tiras dare?
"..."
"Admiral Daelin, our mission has been completed... It's getting late now, and it's time for us to say goodbye... If you can go back alive, we will wait for you in the Whispering Bay of Lordaeron!"
"The maelstrom is very dangerous, I wish you good luck!"
Next, there was a very dangerous pursuit mission, and there was no use for their Nagas to stay here. Therefore, the female Nagas saw that the situation was not good, changed their minds, and said goodbye to Dai Lin directly.
If she were to return directly to Lordaeron, she would be happy to have a free ship to ride on, but... if she was heading towards the Maelstrom, then I'm sorry, they wouldn't be accompanying her.
"Anyway, this time, thanks to the timely information you provided, we in Kul Tiras will remember this kindness! I promise you: the Naga of your tribe will be our Kul Tiras Friend of man!”
Now, Dai Lin was actually a little lucky. If he hadn't happened to meet these Nagas sent by Queen Kaliya to pick him up, once they continued sailing along the original route, they would have waited until they reached the storm area trap prepared by the orcs. After that, that terrible end...he simply couldn't imagine it!
"Goodbye then, hope to see you again..."
After saying that, Naga and the murloc men walked directly to the edge of the boat, and then with a few "plop" sounds, they plunged into the sea one after another, and soon disappeared completely. We can't blame them for being timid. After all, the ensuing chase battle is no joke. If they are blown into the maelstrom, it will be very life-threatening for Naga and the fish-men.
Therefore, while we are still far away from the maelstrom, the best choice is to go directly to the sea, go under the sea surface, try to catch a few turtles or seahorses, and slowly swim back to Lordaeron.
As for storms, they won't be affected at all under the sea.
"..."
"Order: Head due south, five degrees to the right. We are moving forward at full speed! The left and right artillerymen are loading and ready. As long as they find any enemy ships entering the range, they can fire directly without waiting for orders!"
After watching the female Naga and the fishmen jump into the sea one by one and quickly swim away, Dai Lin turned his head and ordered to the first mate.
Today, those orcs cannot escape his grasp easily!
Even if they can't completely annihilate each other, they will try their best to sink as many ships as they can. They must teach those beasts an unforgettable lesson so that they will be frightened when they see the warships of the Kul Tiras Navy!
"As you command, Your Majesty General!"
As the first mate went to give orders again, soon, except for a dozen or twenty ships in poor condition, they did not dare to pursue and began to leave the fleet's battle line and divert to the southeast, preparing to stay away from the storm area. , followed Dai Lin's Admiral flagship, filled the sails directly, and pounced fiercely towards the orc fleet in the distance!
"Hmph! Orcs... you will definitely remember this day forever!"
Looking at the slightly chaotic orc fleet ahead, Dailin sneered and put away his telescope. At their current speed, it only takes half an hour for their front team to catch up with them, and then they will use naval guns to turn those ridiculously broken boats made of thick wood into logs!
As for the storm?
snort! The people of Kul Tiran are never afraid of storms, so let the strong winds become more fierce! Only in this way can we witness their upcoming glorious victory!
