Chapter 014: Bloodthirsty Bat Escort
"Is the airship ready? When can we go? ”
The queen was very direct and asked when she could leave.
"My honorable Queen, please wait a moment, I have asked them to do another comprehensive inspection of the airship, and we must guarantee our service."
Gazkel proudly pointed in the direction of the airship, although it was a little far away, but he could see that there were many goblins on the airship who were inspecting every part of the airship in all directions.
"Hmmm! You have always been careful. This is something to learn from my minions. ”
The queen affirmed Gazkel's ability to get things done.
She admired the goblins' enthusiasm for their work, though often out of an extreme desire for wealth.
"I feel honored to receive your compliment! I will personally supervise and set sail as soon as possible. ”
With that, Gazkel ran back to the tower, and the other goblins followed him back to the airship and joined the inspection.
After about half an hour, Ghazkel came to the gates of the Undercity again, and saluted Sylvanas respectfully.
"My honorable Queen, everything is ready to sail!"
The goblin looked proud, he was able to prepare for the departure of the voyage so quickly, and he believed that there would be no second person in the entire Azeroth continent.
"Let's go!"
Sylvanas looked at Gazkel and nodded, then commanded Faranir.
Stitchers and Forsaken warriors were the first to move, and a wide passage was created between the ship tower and the Undercity gates for the personnel to travel to Durotar.
Most of the apothecaries and magic-skilled Forsaken who had been on the inner deck had retreated to the Undercity at the moment, with only a dozen or so people following the team onto the airship.
Surrounded by the Forsaken's elite guards and Stitchers, Sylvanas finally boarded the airship, with Gazkel behind her.
"My noble Queen, this journey begins in the Tirisfal Glades and crosses the Endless Sea to Durontar."
Gazkel diligently introduced the flight path of the floating airship, but Sylvanas didn't seem to pay too much attention to it, and his eyes scanned over the huge airship.
"Gazkir, such a big guy, if he is attacked, won't he become a live target?!"
Sylvanas interrupted Gazkel's briefing and suddenly asked about the safety of the airship.
"Oh! My noble Queen, you can rest assured. At the altitude at which the airship sailed, there was nothing on the ground that could pose a threat to it. ”
Gazkel is very confident, after all, he is also a famous captain who has commanded airships to cross the Endless Sea many times, and this confidence is still there.
"And what if the enemy attacks from the air?"
It's not the first time Sylvanas has been on an airship, but she hasn't brought so many wounded soldiers and refugees with her before, so she's extra careful this time.
"In the air?! That's going to be a bit of a problem. However, we also have guards, and they are all equipped with nets and throwers, so general aerial harassment will not be a big problem. ”
Gazkel seemed to understand Sylvanas's thoughts, and began to give a serious account of the escort on the take-off boat.
"Normally, creatures that can fly will hardly be able to fly at the same altitude as airships that cross the Endless Sea, and if we go at full speed, we will have an advantage in speed."
Goblins are indeed a shrewd race, and they can always maximize their business advantages and give their customers confidence.
"Hmmm! It's better to have an extra guarantee! Faraniel! ”
Sylvanas knew of course that the goblins were confident in what they had to offer, but for various reasons, she had always been a little uneasy about Orgrimmar's trip.
Faranir nodded when he heard the Queen's words, and swung his right hand three times at the Tirisfal woodlands, as if giving instructions to something.
Chirping~! Chirping~!
Suddenly there was a noise in the otherwise peaceful forest, and a sharp cry was heard, and finally gradually converged into a noisy patch.
A black patch suddenly appeared from the depths of the Tirisfal Glade, and it struck quickly in the direction of the floating airship.
"Wow!"
Gazkel was the first to see what Faranir had summoned, and sighed.
It was a large swarm of bloodthirsty bats, numbering in the hundreds, that seemed to be flying in an orderly manner.
Their leather wings spread out in the air, almost joining into a black torrent, overwhelming the sky.
"These little ones are obedient, and they will escort airships to the Endless Sea."
It was rare for Faranir to take the initiative to talk to Gazkel.
However, he was more likely to appease the goblins, who were fierce predators in the wild......
"Set sail! Hurry up! ”
Gazkel turned and walked towards the bridge, giving the order to set sail as he went.
"Quack!"
The guards and sailors on the airship shouted strange responses, and each went into his working position and began to prepare to set sail.
"Untie the cable! Open the steam valve! Unfasten the propeller latch! ”
Gazkel came to the bridge, holding the huge wooden rudder in one hand and pointing at the goblins in the other, directing them to do their work.
"Stand firm! Set sail! ”
With a shout from the goblin leader, the airship shook violently, and many people suddenly lost their balance unexpectedly, and even fell.
Sylvanas was unaffected, and instead jumped on the bow of the airship early, looking in the direction of the coastline.
The Queen, who used to be the High Elf Ranger General, has a body that is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Left full rudder, speed five! Pay attention to the direction of the wind. ”
Although Gazkel usually jumps and speaks like a profiteer, when it comes to piloting a floating airship, he is definitely the best.
Under his control, the huge airship quickly made a sharp turn, and then headed straight in the direction of the Endless Sea.
A swarm of chirping bloodthirsty bats followed, like black comet tails, escorting the airship as it slowly climbed upwards......
"Wow! Look, we're flying! ”
Jarro was holding the hand of the troll boy at this time, standing on the edge of the airship and looking down, she was really a little scared at such a high height!
"How long will it take to get to Durotal?"
Sylvanas leaped lightly from the front of the airship, flipped sideways in the air, and landed smoothly beside Gazkel.
"Oh! My noble Queen, you are amazing! ”
The queen suddenly jumped up to her, which really startled the goblin leader.
"If nothing else, if the weather is good, we can expect to be able to see the coastline of Durothal in five days!"
Gazkel skillfully steered the airship while answering the Queen's questions.
"Good!"
Sylvanas smiled at the corners of his mouth, his eyes staring straight ahead at the Endless Sea......
