Chapter 11: The Ghost Force in Action (Part I)
The Lord of Azeroth is the most powerful ship in the Iron Fleet and the proudest work of Hellroar.
Hellroar, with his ambitions, seeks to create a multi-functional megaship of all types of warships, which he envisions not only with the ferocious firepower of battleships and the sturdy and incomprehensible defenses of battleships, but also with the long-range bombardment and high-altitude reconnaissance of aircraft carriers.
Of course, it would be better if the rapid loading of the landing ship could be added to it.
With Garrosh's intervention, the entire shipbuilding developed in an increasingly contradictory direction, and even the craftsmen in charge of the design could not meet his requirements even with the most painstaking improvement drawings, and the great chief of great joy put most of his energy into the construction of the battleship, and anyone who disagreed with the chief became a flag fluttering in the wind on the walls of Orgrimmar...
In this way, no one objected to the Great Chief's design, but Garrosh had long been proven to be weak in all aspects except warfare, so when the so-called perfect battleship was launched, all he got was a giant scrap of metal.
Although the barely loaded flight deck could meet the basic requirements for take-off and landing, it was difficult for the few fighters to organize a decent attack, and with the addition of fighters, the ferocious vitality of the battleship was deprived of loading space, and in the end, the firepower of this four-like battleship was even inferior to that of an unequipped landing ship.
As for the fast loading of the landing ship you are talking about! Hehe! If you want to say that the landing requires a special landing ladder in the warehouse, then I advise you to save it, the battleship that obeys the orders of the great chief has long regarded this chicken rib function as an ornament...
But no one dared to say that this was the problem of the Great Chief, after all, no one wanted to be an inexplicable corpse in a landfill, and the roar of Hell, which thought it was invincible, let it start its dangerous maiden voyage before the battleship could be tested, and with the hustle and bustle of this so-called unsinkable battleship, the catastrophe that belonged to the steel fleet had just begun.
Parachuting a battleship that had never been tested into the new flagship of the Steel Fleet was a matter of great death in itself, and what was even worse was that the Great Chief himself did not have any trust in all the members of the Steel Fleet, and he was always worried that this group of sea snakes would take the opportunity to seize power, so he directly appointed Kulonka as the overseer who was the first to cut and then the prelude, and the consequence was that the overseers sent to the battleship finally died in the line of duty for inexplicable reasons.
However, for what will happen next, such a thing seems insignificant, the orcs who were corrupted by arrogance never thought that the low-hanging fruit victory would eventually turn into an inescapable cage, and the terrifying red line that broke through the water actually strung everyone together, and then they could only feel the vitality in their bodies being quickly drained in the futile wail.
Now they are extremely weak, they can barely even lift the blades in their hands, let alone manipulate those war machines with terrifying powers.
And this was also seen by the desperately fighting coalition soldiers, and they began to send the boundless anger in their hearts back to the blood-stained executioners in front of them.
"Warriors of the Alliance, listen! Now is the time for us to fulfill our vows! …”
"In the name of Sal! Wipe out the black sheep of this group of tribes once and for all! …”
Loud and loud cries like this continued to echo above the boundless firmament of the Endless Sea, and the allies and tribes with high morale did not hesitate to launch an unstoppable onslaught, while the steel fleet, which had lost all their fighting spirit, completely lost their previous unruly demeanor, and they could only slowly lose the victory of the entire war in passive defense.
But for Admiral Taylor, the immediate crisis was not yet resolved, and although the steel beast had fallen into a brief silence, who knew if it would tear his fleet apart with the same ferocity in the next moment.
Admiral Taylor, who dodged the opponent's weak charge at will, found a new home for the sword in his hand by the way, and the orc mage not far away finally threw the small fireball in his hand after trembling and chanting, but unfortunately such a harmless spell was of no use to the battle-experienced admiral, and when the orc mage was extremely difficult to guide the fireball to fly towards the target, a sharp sword with the wind of death had already passed through his chest.
"Humph! It seems that my sword has found the most suitable scabbard for it..."
Just as Admiral Taylor was about to step forward to withdraw his weapon, a huge shadow slammed down on him, and after struggling to dodge, the Admiral desperately brushed off the dust only to find that there was not only a huge orc berserker in front of him, but also the king of Stormwind who was standing on the giant beast and used its head as a trophy to show off.
"Hello, Taylor, why didn't you see my admiral for a while and become the grizzled face he is now, if it weren't for your hat, I'm afraid no one would have distinguished you from those shitty shit..."
"Don't tease me, Your Majesty! The situation is still very dangerous for us, and although the attack of this group of scum has become weaker and slower, the giant ship is still a threat to be ignored..."
"Of course I know that, my general! But there is no way to end this battle except to fight to the death, and now our only hope is for the brave and fearless adventurers..."
"But you don't need to be in such a hurry, according to the news I just received, Kul Tiras's fleet is almost here..."
"I see, so the rest of the matter can only be left to them..."
The muttering Admiral looked at the steel ship in the distance, which was still silent, and he was uneasy as he knew that the ghosts in the depths of the sea had already begun a cruel and merciless killing journey.
As mentioned earlier, this battleship, "designed" by Hellroar, has many fatal flaws, and the most serious is the landing bay in the middle of the two sides of the battleship, countless guns that should be placed on the upper deck of the battleship are forced into this cramped room, and in order to facilitate the rapid loading of the landing ladder, there are no prescribed lethal spikes installed under the landing module.
Such a mistake eventually became a shortcut for the adventurers of the Immortal Guild to land and counterattack, but for the orc soldiers patrolling the landing module at the moment, the Grim Reaper lurking in the abyss had already set his sights on them.
"Captain, I feel like something is staring at us..."
"Shut up, Gal! Don't give me any excuses, the current situation doesn't allow us to make the slightest mistake! …”
"But..."
"Do you want to go and clean the toilet with that bunch of garbage! …”
"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, Captain! Fearing severe punishment, Garr could only suppress the doubts in his heart, but the chilling fear still accompanied him.
Knock, knock, knock, a low but regular knock came from under the floor, and such an eerie scene made the timid and cautious Gar's nerves tense even more.
"What are you doing! Gal! …”
"Big... My lord! … In the water! … There seems to be something in the water! …”
"Humph! You incompetent coward! … All right! … Let's see what you said about the anomaly! The wanton ridicule of the captain and his colleagues did not make Gal feel ashamed, and he was so anxious to dispel the fear in his heart that he could not care about the punishment that followed.
Just as the captain and the others were about to conduct the so-called examination, several grenades suddenly appeared in front of them, and then after the dazzling explosion of golden light, these dead idiots were completely blind, and at this moment, a wide and solid ice road began to slowly rise from the sea.
"Rush! The adventurers who cooperated with each other quickly boarded the battleship in a silent manner, and with their successful landing, a battle began without suspense.
Silent wails spread in the smoky landing module, splatters of blood stained the smooth and shiny floor with an ominous crimson color, and the dying orcs could only obediently choose the fate of death after a futile resistance, and the hideous expressions of despair and anger before death became their last remaining appearance in the world.
"Cut, it's so weak, it seems that the trump card of Hell Roar is nothing more than that! ..."The bored-faced undead warrior sneered disdainfully as he looked at the mess of the landing pods and wiped his blade.
"Shut up, dry bones! We took advantage of the battle just now, and if they had been prepared, we might not have been able to board this ship at all! The angry deputy head of the group, Ainalyn, immediately reprimanded her brother, and judging from her frowning expression, her brother should be very sad tonight, and looking at the unforgiving undead girl in front of her, everyone was speechless for a while, until in the end, even the elite team that assisted the adventurer in completing the task was a little unbearable.
"Alright, Ainalyn, now let's work on the next plan! Sergeant Tasker, who is the elite captain of the alliance, said that although such a scene seems to him to be very happy, you still have to pay attention to the current occasion!
"Then now, according to the plan, the upper echelons of this battleship will be handed over to us to come to the Alliance, and the Alliance adventurers led by the Second Leader of the Immortal Courtyard will act with us! …”
"Master Irette will be in charge of tackling the conning tower on the upper deck, so that the mosquitoes that are constantly harassing us in the air can be completely silenced! …”
“… After destroying all the combat facilities on the upper floor, we will point the finger at the heart of this battleship, and I think that after our trouble, the admiral will be annoyed and angry even if he is cultivated! …”
"This is the content of the Alliance's mission, I wonder if there is any objection from the tribe's side? …”
"We've discussed the specifics for a long time, but now I regret it very much, knowing that the monster that destroyed your fleet was at the top! The indignant tribal captain Sergeant Gru reluctantly agreed to the other party's plan, but he still expressed his unwillingness in his heart.
"You can't blame me, you were the ones who chose the following in the first place!" The slightly teasing tone of the Alliance side made Sergeant Gru a little angry, but the goblin Carlo behind him quietly mapped the real situation into the other party's mind.
“… Is that so? … Good! Just as you say! The lower deck of this battleship will be handed over to us, and we will clear the way for the tribal adventurers led by Deputy Captain Ainaline, and then Master Carlo will leave a large amount of high-quality 'souvenirs' in the ammunition compartment and power room, and when the time comes, you alliance will not be blown into slag by the grand salute when you retreat! …”
"Don't worry, we'll finish our mission and come back here before you, but don't keep us waiting! The two of them once again sparked friction, but fortunately, the adventurers next to them dissuaded them and quieted them down.
"Then let's compare to see who finishes the faster and who plays a bigger role!! …”
"I accept your challenge! The fearless Sergeant Tasker accepted the challenge of his old enemy with a smile, and he looked at the brothers behind him who were born and died.
"Okay, then without further ado, let's go first! … Ha! Ha! Ha! … Victory awaits us! A delighted Sergeant Gru led his loyal men out of the landing capsule first, and the adventurers who accompanied him followed him with the encouragement of their comrades.
"No, Sergeant Tasker! I think we might have been fooled! ”
"What do you mean, Master Irette?"
"I know my old rival, that guy Carlo must have revealed something to Sergeant Gru in private just now, otherwise the orc captain wouldn't have changed his attitude so quickly, and the look on their face when they left made it very clear that we had been deceived! …”
"How is it possible, at this time, that group of tribes should not joke with the fate of their own race! Sergeant Tasker suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, but Errett was relieved by his next explanation.
"It's not what you think, if I'm not mistaken, they're communicating privately with that powerful weapon..."
"Do the tribes want it! …”
"It's all because you're thinking too much, the designer of that weapon is related to Carlo, and I think he should have learned some secrets about this weapon from it! …”
"You're saying the key to destroying that thing is down there! …”
"That's right! Touching his sexy mustache, Irett, who had turned into a dead schoolboy, told the truth with a smile that was in control.
"Alas, I didn't expect to be deceived by them! But it's too late to regret it now, so let them give it to the tribe! Anyway, our goal is a testament to the glory of the Alliance more than that weapon! …”
Here, Arett recounts the whole story of the case to Sergeant Tasker, while a cheerful Sergeant Gru joins hands with the treacherous goblin warlock to celebrate the success of their plot.
"I really didn't expect you little guy to have such a complicated story, but I'm just curious why you know so much about this? …”
"Well, what's the matter, that guy is not popular in the family at all, he has nowhere to show his talent and can only come to me, a childhood friend, and the design of that big guy is also the idea I discussed with him at the beginning! The goblin was completely oblivious to controlling his death-making attributes, and in his elated excitement, he had no idea the blackened expressions of his own group.
“… But you don't need to worry... Although this weapon is powerful and has a long range, its large and bulky size makes it impossible to deploy on any conventional ship, and even our target this time can carry two or three of these weapons..."
“… And I deduce that this weapon has a very long firing interval, otherwise it would not have been possible to rush directly after firing it only once... Hey! … How do you look at me with such expressions! The chattering little goblin realized that his comrades were a little far away from him, and they all looked at him with a kind of "so you are such a goblin".
"I can't think of anything about you here, this should be a fellow of hell's roar! Ainalyn looked at the little goblin in front of her with a meaningful expression, and then this expression quickly infected everyone present like a virus.
"Don't do that! At the beginning, I just saw that he was pitiful and wanted to help! I didn't know he'd end up being an accomplice to that brainless chief! The poor little goblins were about to cry, but there was no sympathy from those present.
"You better tell the president about this yourself! After patting Carlo on the shoulder, the deputy head of the regiment walked out with a happy face, and all the people behind him also left him with a look of wishing you a long way, this atmosphere similar to saying goodbye to the corpse made the little goblin rush for a while, and he didn't realize that it was his performance that had just been forced to do so.
With the grand debut of the adventurers, this magnificent sea battle has finally come to an end.
