Chapter 9: Quelling the Rebellion

In fact, there are more than 30 ships in the alliance fleet this time, and there are eight capital ships with more than 90 cannons alone, and it is not difficult for any capital ship to deal with pirate corvettes, not to mention the legendary battleship of the Sea Kingship, but Dai Lin's bones have been idle for so many days, and he finally had some fun and didn't want to let go, and he also had the intention of showing off, so he killed the chicken and went into battle in person with a knife.

After issuing the flag to the surrounding ships, Dalin pulled out the artifact in his hand, causing his flagship to accelerate again, and rushed straight towards the pirate ship.

At this time, both sides who were chasing had also discovered the rapidly approaching Sea Kingship, the iconic size of the Sea King made both sides quickly understand the arrival of the Kurtilas Navy, the merchant ship began to approach the Alliance fleet with a flag, but the pirate ship did not hesitate to turn around and flee in the direction of the mainland, but how could it run away.

The Sea King quickly approached the pirate ship, and with a sharp turn, the whole ship swung sideways, drawing a magnificent white wave arc on the sea, aiming its starboard side at the pirate ship, at this time, with the excellent eyesight of a young girl, she could even see that the pirate ship had become a mess, and even many pirates had scrambled to jump into the sea.

"Cover your ears!" Varian yelled at the maiden, who was still stunned for the first time in the naval battle, and the maiden hurriedly did so, only to see that the other officers had already opened their mouths or covered their ears in response.

In the next moment, more than two hundred cannons roared almost in unison, and the deafening roar drowned out all other sounds around them, bringing a brief auditory gap, and the dense group of cannonballs flew towards the poor pirate ship.

Bang bang!

A series of muffled noises followed, followed by a loud explosion, and under this round of shell-covered blows, the pirate ship was almost smashed into a sieve, the mast was broken, and there were several large holes in the ship, even the powder magazine was hit, and the final explosion was triggered, and the whole ship lost power in an instant, and then a raging fire broke out, and many pirates who did not die in the shelling also hurriedly jumped into the sea, trying to find a way to survive by the water.

The girl instinctively took a deep breath, trying to ease the awe in her heart, the short naval battle just now was completely different from the land battle she had faced before, as long as she couldn't fly or live in the sea, personal strength didn't matter at all in front of a huge ship, even if it was as powerful as a hero.

"Clean up the battlefield, and if I catch the pirate captain, I'll spare his life, and I'll see which 'old friend' is coming." King Dalin ordered.

Dalein's order was quickly implemented, and soon a goblin pirate captain was caught by the Kurtiras sailors and sent over, along with the gnome captain of the merchant ship, the dwarf captain naturally thanked the two kings for his kindness when he got on board, and said that he belonged to Nomorigan, and the kings of the alliance did not embarrass him after identifying him, and the goblin pirate captain was quickly recognized by Dalein, who was said to be a slightly famous pirate captain "Captain Neharu".

King Dahlin asked Varian what he meant, and announced the disposition: "Bring it back to the country, no trial, hang in public." ”

The greenskinned goblin struggled frantically: "No, no, no, great Majesty Prodi Moore, according to the laws of Kul Tiras, I can exchange intelligence for merit for amnesty!" I have the latest information on the Duke of Farreville and the North Sea Pirates! I also have the latest information on the hot sand consortium in Booty Bay! I'm going to get an amnesty! ”

Both the North Sea Pirates and the Duke of Farreville were old rivals that Daille was extremely concerned about, and after hearing the words of the goblin, his expression changed significantly, and he commanded left and right: "Send him to the interrogation room, and I will interrogate him myself in a moment!" ”

Varian turned to leave, he was not interested in any of this information, and ordered to the left and right: "There is still more than an hour to reach the destination, inform the other ships, and let the soldiers prepare in advance." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Left and right answered the order.

When the episode ended, Claudia and Varian returned to the cabin, and soon to go ashore, and she did not intend to continue reading, but went back to her room to pack her things, and after a while of packing her things, she went to the king's room again to see if there was anything she could do for the king.

When Claudia pushed the door and entered, Varian was sitting at the table reading a document, and the girl didn't bother him and went to help Varian pack up his things, and Varian quickly stopped her after seeing the girl's movements:

"Just let the attendants do the chores, you can come and take a look at this."

After Claudia did so, she found out that this was the information that the goblin confessed not long ago in order to survive, and Dalin sent someone to copy it, which mentioned the recession and infighting of the North Sea pirates, the Duke of Farreville, who betrayed Kurtiras, had established a new pirate organization in the South China Sea, and some news about Treasure Bay, one of which caught the girl's attention: A new group of human pirates has recently appeared in Treasure Bay, who have been paying their bills with Storm Kingdom gold coins, and have even been personally received by Rivigaz, the ruler of Treasure Bay.

"A new batch of pirates has appeared in our country? Varian: Are you worried about pirates as a threat to trade? Claudia asked.

Varian shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, the western wilderness has been too chaotic recently, and there is also the possibility of civilians going to the South China Sea to be pirates, I will let the agents find out, our trade with the Night Elves is very important, and we can't be destroyed by pirates and goblins." ”

"Hmm." The girl nodded obediently, although she was no longer an adjutant, but during this time when she got along with Varian, Varian would occasionally talk to her about some official duties, she often expressed some of her own opinions on official duties, and in the case of having an experience of the earth, some of her insights can give Varian a lot of inspiration, so Varian will tell her more and more often when dealing with official business recently.

Varian took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It's almost time, you go and put on your armor, and we'll have to put order back here when we get ashore." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Claudia also changed her name.

Soon after, after Varian felt and said goodbye to King Dalein, the army of the Stormwind Kingdom landed in the Western Wilderness, this land was originally called the Western Wilderness, which was the granary of the entire kingdom, but the Western Fertile Wilderness was occupied in the war with the orcs more than ten years ago, and the human race suffered heavy losses.

Having already learned of the King's arrival, Master Madias Shore led dozens of agents to meet Varian and give a brief account of the unrest in the Wild West.

The bad news is that there are many wastelands in the Western Wilderness, and most of the refugees from the north have been resettled in the Western Wilderness, and at this time the refugees are not only the original Lordaerons, the fall of Dalaran in the north has caused a huge panic, after learning that the Stormwind Kingdom is willing to accept refugees, more and more people in the northern countries have begun to leave their homes and go to the south, and now a large part of them are involved in the turmoil, and the scale of the Western Wilderness civil unrest has reached the scale of nearly 100,000 people.

There is much more good news than bad news, first of all, when the Grand Duke of Berval learned of the turmoil in the Western Wilderness, he immediately used the small number of troops in the Elwyn Forest to block the road to the Elwyn Forest in the Western Wilderness, so the chaos is still confined to the Western Wilderness, and the Fourth Army of Red Ridge Mountain has also begun to go to the Western Wilderness to quell the rebellion, and soon a new group of regular troops will arrive in the Western Wilderness, and finally the interior of the Western Wilderness is not completely corrupted, and the rebels lack organization after all, Therefore, even if the laws of the Stormwind Kingdom strictly limit the size of the nobles' armies, the nobles can make the outcasts who have no organization and siege weapons helpless against their manor castles, and a large part of the territory is still in the hands of the nobles loyal to the king.

After listening to Matthias's introduction, Varian also roughly understood the current situation, which was similar to what he expected, it was not difficult to quell the civil unrest, although there were many displaced people, but the outcasts had no way to take the nobles' manor castle to show that their combat effectiveness was weak, and the first legion soldiers who arrived with Varian were far more powerful than the nobles' guards, not to mention that at this time, there were a large number of senior professionals in the army, such as mages, paladins, and priests, and there was no suspense in quelling the civil unrest. The real trouble is how to solve the problem of feeding so many displaced people after the victory, otherwise the displaced people will not survive and will make trouble again sooner or later.

"The scale of the civil unrest was much larger than expected, but fortunately we had already planned it in advance."

Out of the corner of his eye, Varian glanced at Claudia not far away, and thought to himself that the trade plan, the recruitment plan, and Gianna's plan to organize a militia had been unanimously approved by the ministers at the meeting, and would soon be implemented in the western wilderness.

The trade plan will bring a large number of much-needed supplies to the Stormwind Kingdom, solve the problem of feeding the homeless, and earn a large amount of gold coins, alleviate the current situation of the Stormwind Kingdom's lack of financial resources, and make the human race more closely connected with the dwarves, gnomes, night elves, and other races.

The recruitment plan can recruit the strongest and brave young men among the outcasts into the army, adding enough troops to the Stormwind Kingdom to prevent the undead from natural disasters, and it can also effectively prevent the outcasts from revolting again.

Finally, the plan to organize the militia to settle the fields can gradually restore the production of the western wilderness, cut off the soil for the survival of the Defia brotherhood, and completely solve the current situation of the western wilderness.

After the three-pronged approach, it is believed that not only will the civil unrest be quelled soon, but also the victims from the north can be gradually digested, and even a few years later, it may be possible to gradually restore this land to the grand situation where the people of the western granary lived and worked in peace and contentment, and once again provide sufficient food and soldiers for the Storm Kingdom.

"However, to ensure that this land can be restored to its former glory, the Brotherhood of Defia needs to be resolved."

Varian made up his mind again.
