Chapter 147: Father and Son
The Endless Sea.
On the blue sea, countless pieces of wood fluttered with the undulations of the waves, some flags full of holes were swept and surged by the waves, and under the sunlight, countless shadows wandering under the sea were clearly visible.
This is a group of sharks, and the great battle that has just taken place has caused these guys with excellent sense of smell to quickly assemble here, and they have done their 'mission' to clean up the battlefield, although the orcs who are still alive are unwilling to be 'cleaned'.
"Report Marshal! The Horde's fleet has been routed by us! Drake Proudmore came to the flagship and saluted Lothar.
The prince of Kul Tiras, with a palpable look of excitement on his face, had no idea that his father would put such an important battle in his command, and Drake almost fainted with excitement when he received the order. Under his father's encouraging and convinced eyes, Drake stabilized his emotions and began to think about preparing for battle.
Drake did not disappoint the Admiral, and despite the assistance of the Goblin Fleet Commanders sent by Deathwing, the Horde's fleet was completely dismantled by the Alliance fleet under Drake's command in less than two hours under the Coalition's near-art of warfare operation.
Countless ships were torn to shreds by the fire, and the orcs and goblins screamed in horror and fell into the sea, but soon, the influx of sea water made it impossible for the swimmers to scream anymore, and slowly sank into the sea like stones.
Lothar smiled and nodded to Drake, who came in front of him and patted Prince Kul Tiras on the shoulder.
"Well done! Drake! Lothar's tone made no secret of his excitement and appreciation, "You have cut off the last support of the tribe for the Alliance, you are the hero of the Alliance!" β
Lothar's voice drowned out the surging sound of the waves, so that the soldiers on the banner could hear it clearly, and the soldiers immediately cheered and chanted Drake's name. Chanting the Generalissimo, shouting Long live the Union!
It was the first time Drake had enjoyed such treatment, and he lowered his head a little embarrassed. Lothar smiled and said kindly, "This is what you deserve, child!" Lift your head and puff up your chest. Accept the support of the soldiers! β
Drake jerked his head up, looked at the Generalissimo with burning eyes, and nodded heavily, although there was still some blush on his face, he clenched his fists and quietly listened to the cheers in his ears.
It took a while for the cheers to subside.
Lothar looked at Drake, who was still intoxicated by the hero's cheers, and smiled softly, her eyes flashing with a hint of nostalgia - in the beginning. Isn't it a pity that he and Ryan are loved and cheered by their people and soldiers like this......
"Keep up the good work! It's your time! Lothar nodded to Drake, "You're already a qualified commander, Drake, the Admiral will be proud and proud of you!" Lothar looked to the side at the pretending to be serious Daylin Prodmore, the leader of Coultiras.
Drake's eyes lit up, and he stared eagerly and expectantly at the tall figure beside Lothar. The tension that he had never felt even when he was directing a battle suddenly welled up in his heart, and Drake no longer had the demeanor of a commander in a big war. He was as nervous as an elementary school student who had finished his homework and was waiting for his parents to decide.
"Drake." Dai Lin said slowly and solemnly. Drake's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and he looked fixedly at his father, whom he had always admired and respected, waiting for his instruction.
"Drake, my son, you've always been my pride, and I've never doubted a day. You're going to be a better naval commander than I am. It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so soon......" Dalin's face showed emotion and joy, and he looked at Drake with affirmative eyes, "You're doing a great job - even better than I thought!" Drake. From now on, you are a qualified fleet commander, you are worthy of the glory and tradition of the Proudmoor family, and I am proud of you, my son! β
Drake's eyes flashed with tears, he never expected that his father, who had always been unusually strict with him, would praise him, he suddenly understood his father's deep love, Drake felt that he was really ashamed of this majestic figure.
"Father's ......"
Daillin glared at Drake fiercely: "The people of the Proudmoor family will only bleed, not tears. Drake, the Generalissimo is right, I'm old, and it's time for you young people. I need you to remember that victory and defeat will not shake your faith, as long as you are firm in your faith, you will definitely achieve the final success! β
Drake took a deep breath, forced himself to control his emotions, and nodded heavily to his father.
"Yes, Father! I remembered! The flag of Kul Tiras will always fly on the sea! Forever! β
Lothar looked at the ever-fighting father and son, and he thought of Varian, the heir to the Stormwind Kingdom, who was still in Lordaeron, and he treated him as if he were his own son, Varian was brave and strong, and the young prince once asked to join him on the battlefield to fight the orcs, but he refused. He told Varian that he should learn from the old king of Lordaeron how to run a country, rather than become a warrior like him. He knew that out of respect for him, Varian had complied with his arrangement, but the fiery fighting spirit and unyielding spirit in Varian's eyes did not escape his eyes.
"I'll make you laugh, Generalissimo!"
Dalin's words brought Lothar to his senses, Drake had already turned to arrange the next thing, Dalin was looking at Lothar, and Lothar smiled apologetically at him:
"Drake is such a wonderful kid, you really envy you! Your Excellency! β
Dai Lin sighed deeply, "Maybe I'm too harsh, this kid is a little scared of me......"
"I think he'll understand your intentions one day. Besides, he's great right now and hasn't let you down, has he? β
"Of course!" Delin's face was filled with pride again, "He never let me down!" β
"I ......" a white line of water suddenly stretched from the sea in the distance. Lothar only felt a flower in front of him, a familiar figure already standing in front of him, and the strong wind made the huge hull seem to move back a considerable distance.
"Hello, Sir!" Carl grinned at Lothar.
Lothar smiled bitterly, and before she could speak, Dalin couldn't help but glare at Karl: "What are you doing with such a big move?" β
Without waiting for Karl to reply, he turned and made a few gestures to the herald on the mast. The herald waved his flag, and the fleet, which had been a little commotionous, quickly calmed down again.
"You've wronged me, Your Excellency." Karl stared at Dalin with an aggrieved expression, "I just escaped from the claws of Deathwing, and I rushed all the way to report to you, how could I have thought of so much." β
It's strange to believe you! Seeing Carl's pretentious expression, even Lothar couldn't help but roll her eyes at him this time, but the Deathwing Daimyo still shocked the calm generalissimo.
"What's going on!"
"Deathwing has colluded with the orcs. Dalaran was suddenly attacked by this black dragon king behind his back to help the orcs, our plan to recapture the artifact failed, the critical moment of Deathwing arrived, we couldn't stop this powerful guardian dragon at all, if it wasn't for his previous injuries and scruples, I'm afraid ......" Carl half-truthfully told the story, why Deathwing didn't kill them, Carl believed that he definitely had other purposes, Carl would not be naΓ―ve to think that Deathwing really wanted to find someone he looked at to pleasing to the eye to confide in.
Lothar frowned, the plan to reclaim the artifact might fail, which everyone had expected, but when it actually became a reality, they had to change their plans.
"Looks like we need to pick things up!"
Lothar looked at the sun as it sank into the sea, and said firmly.
"Send the order, all ships immediately check the equipment and supplies, prepare for battle, and all set off for Storm Harbor!"
"We're going to fight the orcs to the death!" (To be continued.) )
