Chapter 589: Fenna's Experience
With the exception of the officers and junior non-commissioned officers who kept the ship running, most of the officers and senior non-commissioned officers were called to the conference room on the aft middle deck.
Fenna and Tasha whispered as they watched the departing officers.
"You see, they don't really respect you!" Tasha nodded angrily to the departing officers, and she motioned for Fenna to look at the departing officers.
"They always leave you alone and have separate meetings. It's like the owner of your ship is a fake. ”
"I didn't say you, Fenna. You're too lenient with them. You have to let them know that now you are the owner of this ship! They have disassociated themselves from the Proudmoors! Tasha bitterly persuaded her best friend, "This is the only thing you can inherit from your father!" ”
"That miser of Tannred won't even give you one more ship!" Tasha said indignantly, "He's still your brother!" If it weren't for his mother! He even wanted the two of us to leave with this empty ship! ”
"Mrs. Proudmoore is a good man, though." Thinking of this, Tasha's eyebrows curled, and she said wistfully, "I can see that Madame cares about you too, she helped us recruit these people from the navy and sailors of Kul Tiras, and filled us with supplies. ”
"A good person like her should live a long life."
Fenna listened silently as Tasha chattered in her ear, and she just watched with her arms in her arms as the sailors below were busy with their own business.
It wasn't until her friend, who had some broken thoughts, stopped talking that she turned around and walked slowly towards the deck.
"Tasha, don't say that again. We don't have anything to do with the Proudmoore family anymore. I'm afraid we won't be able to get any support from them. All we can rely on now is these people on board. ”
"And, you know." Fenna stopped, and she stood on the staircase that led to the bow to the upper deck, overlooking the rough sea below. "We're not good at anything at sea. We are just a bunch of people who fight on land, professional ....
"Professional things still have to be done by professional people. Right? Tasha learned from Fenna's words and snatched her words.
Fenna smiled and whispered, "It seems that my preaching has made you a little impatient." ”
Tasha pouted, but she laughed happily.
Yes, that's not all that makes these two girls happy.
When Fenna's father left Lordaeron, Fenna organized the remaining resistance. A guerrilla struggle against the Scourge was carried out in the Tirisfara Glades and the Silver Pine Forest.
Until the crisis of the situation, they were crushed from the Tirisfal glades into the Silver Pines Forest, and were driven all the way to Ambermir, which was under the control of the exiled mages of Dalaran.
The crisis situation forced Fenna to put aside her prejudices against her father. She chose to leave the kingdom of Lordaeron for a while and went to Kurtilas to seek reinforcements. And it was at that time that the Lordaeron Crusaders were first created.
This made them miss the opportunity to join the Crusaders.
This was the time when Fenna was in Kurtiras, as the illegitimate daughter of Admiral Daline, begged the Kul Tiras Navy, led by his brother Tanred, to help strike at the undead of Lordaeron. Tanred rejected her without hesitation. Even, if it weren't for the fact that she was also Admiral Dai Lin, the illegitimate daughter of his father, Tamred would not have seen them at all.
But at this time, news of the crusaders began to flow from the mainland to this slightly closed island. While they were happy, they also began to prepare themselves.
They learned from Admiral Dai Lin's wife, Catherine. Admiral Dai Lin assigned a second-class battleship to Fenna as her inherited property before leaving for Theramore.
The ship was well maintained, but it didn't have a single crew. Finna's half-brother, Thanrid, transferred all the crew members of the ship to another ship.
In the words of Thanrid, "Father gave you only a second-class battleship, and the people on board need you to figure it out yourself." ”
But for the two half-elves, how could they have the money to recruit a crew of nearly 800 people? And technical soldiers and officers in various key positions?
Taking a step back, even if you have money, where can you recruit people? Since the vast majority of Kul Tiras's navy was taken away by Admiral Dai Lin, the local navy is still expanding, and sailors and technicians are undoubtedly invaluable.
However, at this very moment, the fleet of the expedition to Kalimdor returned ....
Unlike the people who rejoiced in the harbor to welcome the fleet's triumphant return, unlike what they imagined, this fleet, which was only half left, brought back great bad news!
Admiral Dai Lin died in the war against the Orcs!!
The Admiral has waged a war with the Orcs on the continent of Kalimdor, and the purpose of the war is for the safety of the eldest princess Gianna! But the Theramore army led by the eldest princess Gianna chose to stand by and watch the expeditionary fleet being attacked by the orcs, which was one of the main reasons for Admiral Dai Lin's tragic death!
As for the originally large expeditionary fleet, there were also problems.
Part of the expeditionary fleet was bought off by the orcs, and many warships were blown up and sunk on the east coast of Kalimdor. A part of the battleship sympathized with the eldest princess Gianna and chose to stay in Theramore. And the battleship that finally returned to Kurtilas was less than half when it left ....
The news, which shocked everyone, soon spread throughout the archipelago of Kurtilas.
Countless people lamented the loss of their loved ones and cursed the vileness and shamelessness of the orcs. While denouncing the daughter of the sea, the eldest princess Gianna. For this once pearl of the kingdom, the honor and pride of the kingdom have now become cold and heartbroken.
A large number of members of the navy chose to leave the navy after returning to Theramore, and the admiral's tragic death broke their hearts. The betrayal of the daughter of the sea also made these people lose their pursuit of glory.
Many retired members of the Navy either become drunken drunkards all day long, or choose to become adventurers and go to the mainland to earn a living.
This upheaval also affected Fenna, who was not only sad, but also hated the orcs! If it weren't for Tasha's persuasion, she might have gone to Theramore to find her sister, Gianna, affectionately known to her people as the daughter of the sea!
"Aren't you ashamed of what you did?! Won't your heart be troubled by this? Are you right about your father's love for you?! ”
Although she was angry, Fenna couldn't help it.
Because she can't get by.
Kurtilas had closed all official passages, and they were not sending fleets of any official nature to Theramore. Disillusioned with the Alliance, Kurtilas also chose to close the island and disconnect from the Alliance. Although they were sympathetic to the Lordaeron on the other side of the Channel, who were struggling under the hands of the undead scourge......
Time passed year by year, and when Fenna was about to despair, things took a turn for the better. A merchant ship from the Northern Silver Pine Forest, claiming to be the new city of Iva arrived.
Through the news obtained from the merchant ship, Lordaeron is very different from what it used to be. Led by the Crusaders, the people of Lordaeron launched a counterattack against the scourge of the undead.
Many lost lands have been regained, natural disasters have been compressed in the old city, and everything is changing for the better.
The news rejoiced for many, and regardless of their relationship with the Alliance, the people of Kul Tiras, who had always had a good opinion of Lordaeron across the sea.
In the past, they would often help the people of Lordaeron who had come here from across the sea, and then listen to what they had seen and heard about in Lordaeron.
At the same time, Fenna is suddenly helped by Catherine Prodmoore.
The honorable Lady of Prodmore arrived on her ship with boxes of gold coins. She helped her warship recruit retired members of the Navy in Kurtilas, and even brought in excellent generals and officers directly from the Navy to help her.
When Fenna asked why, Catherine just smiled. The asymmetry of information left Fenna unaware of what was going on.
But before leaving, Catherine also vaguely reminded Fenna. Remind her that she is not just a Lordaeron, she is also the daughter of Admiral Dai Lin. At the same time, she was instructed to deal with the relationship with the Great Lord of Eva, which would be of great benefit to Kurtilas and her.
It's not clear why Catherine said that, but Fena agreed. She's been here for 4 years now, and she can't wait to see what Lordaeron looks like now.
So, they were in a happy mood to take a boat to their destination, the port of Iva .
"Boom!" A loud thunderclap rang out from above Fenna's head, a deafening sound that pulled her out of her memories of the past.
Scattered raindrops began to fall.
"Miss Fena, Captain, please go back to your room, it's about to get dangerous."
A shout relieved the two elven girls who were still bored at the bow of the ship, and Fenna turned to see that on the top deck, the captain's lieutenant, Woden, was walking this way.
"There's something strange about this storm, and it's likely the product of the Naga's evil sorcery." Colonel Woden pushed the brim of his wide hat upward, "You need to get out of here." ”
"We can help, Mr. Worden, too." Before Fenna could speak, Tasha pulled out a staff that was a little over 4 feet long. At the top of the staff, a blue opal glowed green.
Worden kept his mouth shut, and he shook his head solemnly.
This time it was Fenna's turn to speak.
"I think we can really help, Colonel." Fenna said to Worden's serious face, "I'm a paladin, and Tasha is a wizard, and I think we can all help the soldiers fend off Naga." ”
"After all, sailors are just a bunch of flesh-and-blood soldiers."
These words made Worden's eyebrows jump, and a difficult smile appeared on his serious face, "No need ladies, the Naga have been our long-standing enemies of the Kul Tiras Navy, and we don't know more about them than ordinary people. ”
"In fact, this may be the first time you have faced such a dangerous creature. Stay in the cabin. Let's look at how easily our naval soldiers can defeat this group of robbers at sea. ”
"Soon you will know that on the sea, there is nothing that can defeat our naval soldiers! Not even witchcraft!! ”
