Chapter 55: News from the Red Dragon

In the afternoon, several of the High Elves' ships had returned to port, but they had not yet spotted the whereabouts of the orc fleet.

"It seems that we need to expand the search area further south, so it will not be enough to rely on the High Elf fleet to investigate......"

So in addition to ordering the captain of the High Elf fleet to continue to reconnoiter in the southern seas, he also decisively sent out most of the reconnaissance ships in the Kurtilas fleet to ensure that the orc troop carriers could be found at sea as soon as possible.

After several days of intensive searching, a High Elf frigate finally spotted the orc horde's fleet, which by this time had sailed fifty nautical miles south of Zodal Island.

The orc fleet soon spotted the frigate as well, but they had nothing to do with it.

After all, all the ships of the orc tribe were built by the goblins to speed up the work, and the quality must be difficult to guarantee.

These ships were barely able to sail at sea, and in the event of a slightly stronger storm they would be in danger of being shipwrecked, let alone having them chase after the light and nimble elven frigates.

Moreover, in order to allow each ship to be loaded with more orc soldiers, these ships were not equipped with long-range attack weapons such as artillery, and even if they were equipped with artillery, there were no qualified sailors who could operate these weapons, so they could only watch the frigate calmly turn its bow and sail back.

It didn't take long for Dai Lin to get news of the orc fleet from the returning frigate.

The admiral immediately arrived at the commander's tent to report the news to Lothar, and the leaders of the countries soon came here to discuss the next plan of action.

Lothar was the first to ask, "General Prodmore, has that elven frigate taken a closer look at how many ships the orc tribe has?" ”

Dai Lin replied, "The fleet of orcs is very large, and the elven lookouts on the frigate can't accurately count the number of ships. The frigate circled the entire convoy, and the experience of the lookouts estimated that they had at least a hundred troop carriers. ”

Jean of the Kingdom of Gilneth asked eagerly, "So, where will the orc tribe land?" ”

That's what Jean is most concerned about.

Dai Lin thought for a moment and said, "According to the route of the orc fleet, I judge that they will eventually land on the west coast of the Hillsbrad region, which should not be too far from here. ”

Jean asked, a little uneasy, "Are you sure of your judgment?" Will they go off course or get lost? ”

"There shouldn't be much of a deviation." Dai Lin said, "As far as I know, the route sailed by the orc tribe was explored by goblins, and our ship of Kul Tiras usually takes the route of Tidal Island. I think the goblins provided the orcs with accurate charts and navigators, and the frigate that had spotted the orcs did see the goblins on board. ”

"These damn greenskins, we'll clean them up when we defeat the greenskins......" Solas cursed quietly.

Jean gave Solas a rare approval, saying, "Yes, we really should give these ugly little ones some awesome tastes. ”

None of the kings present had a good impression of the goblin race, not even Varian, who had played the goblin character in the game in his previous life.

The goblins' greedy nature has made them the best merchants in Azeroth, but it is their mercenary nature that has offended many forces.

In fact, the trade between goblins and humans was relatively close before, and their relationship was quite harmonious.

Varian had MI7 agents secretly contact the goblins of the Hot Sand Harbor Consortium in an attempt to convince them not to help the orcs.

But the goblins refused, as they had seen the fall of Stormwind and thought it would be difficult for humans to defeat the powerful orc horde.

And most importantly, Orgrim took out the golden gold to pay these greedy guys, even though the gold originally belonged to the kingdom of Azeroth.

Varian, who is familiar with the goblin temperament, was not surprised by their choice, it was just an attempt anyway, and it was normal for them to fail, and if they succeeded, it could greatly delay the pace of the orc army.

However, being rejected by the goblins directly still made Varian a little unhappy, and he secretly decided in his heart that he would make these green-skinned dwarfs regret their choice today.

At this time, King Terenus coughed lightly and said, "The goblin matter is put aside for now, since General Prodmore has deduced the location where the orc tribe landed, then shouldn't we make preparations?" ”

Lothar nodded and said, "Fortunately, the place where they landed is not far from here, and there is still plenty of time left for us to prepare." When you get back in a moment, please gather your army at once, we need to march some distance west, and then wait there for the orcs to arrive. ”

"As for General Prodmoore......" Lothar looked at Dai Lin and said, "You are in charge of commanding the naval fleet to intercept the troop carriers of the orc tribes at sea, and I hope you can sink as many ships as you can, so that we will have fewer orcs to face." ”

Dai Lin thought for a moment and said, "I will lead all the fleets to intercept the orc fleet near Zundar Island, I am very familiar with the waters there, and the ships built by the goblins for the orc tribe are very rudimentary, I am fully sure that I will sink those ships and let the orcs on board sink into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Lothar agreed to Dai Lin's plan and said, "In that case, we ......"

"Wait a minute...... Varian said, "I have another piece of important information here, about the Red Dragon." ”

"Red Dragon? What is that? Is it a monster of any kind? Aiden asked, confused.

Since the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, the Legion of the Five-Colored Dragons has rarely been seen in Azeroth.

Dragons now only exist in various legends, so Aiden didn't tie them to what Varian said for a while.

"Your Highness Varian, what did you say...... Are they the dragons? Aurelia on the side asked solemnly.

"Yes, those dragons." Varian nodded and said, "My spies have found traces of the Red Dragon, right in the orc clans that remained in the wetlands......"

"How so?" Aurelia muttered to herself, "How could they have anything to do with those orcs? ”
