Chapter 161: Morning in Nanhai Town
The morning sun is sprinkled on the beach of Nanhai Town!
The sound of the sea crashing against the reef is heard from the shoreline as always.
Town Councillor Heni Mareb of the town of Southsea patrols the beach as usual...... Inspect for ships that have run aground and perhaps other accidents; and the movement of aquatic creatures such as fish-people and naga in the surrounding area.
Suddenly, he stopped because he heard a strange sound.
A slightly muffled voice came from the depths of the sea.
Henie Mareb stood on tiptoe and looked out...... Suddenly, he saw a row of dark shadows, appearing on the shoreline.
Mareb couldn't help but take a few steps back, with his experience many years ago, that row of dark shadows was anything but waves...... He hurriedly sounded the alarm in his hand, and one by one the militia of Nanhai Town appeared on the beach under his call.
The Shadow finally revealed its true form: a fleet, a very large fleet...... The shadow split into countless individuals, each of which was a giant ship!
Nanhai Town is a decent port, and there are many ships coming and going on weekdays; But for these militiamen, it was the first time they had seen hundreds, if not thousands, of ships appear at the same time, and they couldn't help but wonder.
Some ordinary residents were also attracted to the huge fleet, and looked at the huge fleet with some panic.
Many residents took out harpoons, hoes and even sticks as weapons and stood on the beach staring at the sea.
Thousands of ships, it can almost be said that it is a country!
Where do they come from?
What makes them appear at the same time?
Why did they come to Lordaeron?
Doubts spread to every resident of Nanhai Town...... The women, with their children, had retreated back into the house; The mayor and councillors have all appeared, and they have even sent cavalry to Lordaeron......
When the leading boat docked, the people of Nanhai Town on the beach breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not an army, except for a small number of sailors and soldiers, most of them are ordinary civilians, women, old people and children......
Their complexion is slightly darker, but that seems to be a characteristic of southerners!
In short, it's not an invading army, and it's not a bunch of monsters!
And it seems, a group of fleeing refugees...... Many women from Nanhai Town came out of the house, looking with sympathetic eyes at these refugees from the south, what kind of disaster made them leave their homes and flee here.
More and more ships docked, and the ships that had previously docked quickly returned to sea after dropping off their passengers...... The entire town of Nanhai was surrounded by this group of refugees.
However, they seemed to be disciplined, setting up some tents in a nearby clearing and begging the residents for some fresh water and food.
After gaining a foothold, several people cheered directly on the spot, and the others were busy breathing in the fresh air here, as if to say:
"Finally get rid of that damn sea!"
However, among this group of "refugees", there are still several leaders:
a tall warrior in thick plate armor; He was bald, but he had resolute eyes, the hilt of his sword loomed behind his shoulders, and in his hand he held a boy who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
There was also a young captain in an emerald green sailor's suit; and a handsome elven mage in black robes, who seemed to be talking about something.
……
"Praise the Light, we have finally landed!"
Anduin Lothar strode onto land, glancing a little wearily at the ocean behind him.
Lothar is an excellent fighter, but he has lived a very unaccustomed life on the ocean for the past half month.
Now that she has finally landed on land again, Lothar's mood is also much more relaxed......
Half a month ago, during the war under the walls of Stormwind, Lothar thought that he and his kingdom were about to fall to the Horde.
However, on the eve of the collapse of the human front, Karin, who had turned into a crow, arrived in time and brought reinforcements from the north!
The "armada" of Kurtilas, they were under the instructions of Karlin...... All the ships fired at the same time at the sea!
The sound of more than 1,000 cannons firing a salvo is undoubtedly terrifying...... And the army of the Horde, after hearing this voice, immediately made the decision to retreat.
In the gap between the tribe's retreat, the refugees and troops of Stormwind took the ships of Kurtiras overnight, withdrew from Stormwind, and headed north......
Until now!
I have to say that under the noses of the tribe, all the retreats with almost no damage can be made...... It's a miracle!
"Thank you for your help along the way!" Lothar turned his head to look at the young captain in the green sailor's suit beside him, and said sincerely, "If it weren't for the help of Kurtilas, maybe the kingdom of Azeroth would be about to fall!" ”
"You're overrated!" Drake-Prodmore hurriedly bowed down and avoided Lothar's salute: "It is a supreme honor for Kurtilas to be able to serve the last bloodline of the Arathor Empire!" ”
Just as they were talking, the mayor of Nanhai Town came over with someone, and the mayor frowned and asked in a loud voice:
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm Anduin Lothar!" The old warrior touched his bald head, turned around and said in a deep voice, "I am from Stormwind in the south, and I am the regent of the kingdom of Azeroth!" ”
"Stormwind's ...... Lord Regent! The mayor was astonished: "That's a far away place!" Why are you here? ”
"It's a story that can't be told in words......" Lothar shook her head sadly, "I have to ask to see the king of the north immediately, and I can't give the tribe any chance." ”
His voice was full of urgency.
Although the mayor didn't quite understand what the other party meant, he still nodded: "Of course, I have already sent someone to inform the king of the news of your coming...... Your people can rest in my town for a while, but we don't have that much water and food! ”
"Thank you." Lothar said very sincerely. "We will bring food and other supplies as soon as we meet the king."
"Heni, hurry up and help these bigwigs from the south get their horses ready, I'm afraid something big is about to happen!" With a solemn face, the mayor ordered to one of the councilors beside him.
……
Half an hour later, Lothar took Varian and a small retinue and prepared to set out on the journey to Lordaeron.
"Aren't you coming with us, Carlin?" Lothar, who was riding on his horse, asked the mage beside him.
"I'm sorry!" Karlin waved his hand, "I must first go back to Dalaran and inform the mages there of what is happening in Karazhan and in the south. ”
Lothar knew that this elven mage also had his own mission, and he nodded: "Well, good luck, then!" ”
"Good luck to you too!" Carlin whispered, "It won't be long before I'm afraid I'll be on my way to Lordaeron too, and we should meet again." ”
