As Moriarty explained in advance, because of the full preparation of "Operation North Wind", he could only provide the three Naga brothers with a relatively rudimentary set of equipment for the time being.

Includes: 18 magic knives with a "+2 hard effect", a three-collar "tungsten steel skein chain mail", and three "goat demon" visors to cover their faces.

Among them, the magic long knife was requested by Moriarty from the Azure Mage Order. When he learned that the three-headed Naga was willing to become a follower of Moriarty, Depra was also shocked, and then he was relieved. Immediately, he did not hesitate to give Moriarty a note. As for the tungsten steel strand chain armor and the goat demon face armor, they can only be regarded as decent tabula rasa equipment, with only basic physical defense and no magic effect. However, because of Naga's special size, these armor deficiencies were forged for them by Moriarty using the alchemy array and several blacksmiths who accompanied the army.

Not to mention, the three Balalaika brothers put on their new equipment, and their image was suddenly much more powerful.

In particular, the pure black tungsten steel wire chain armor with the blood-red goat demon armor is simply a bit of a stretch. Coupled with the appearance of eight shiny magic long knives together, I am afraid that it really has a bit of "the taste of surrendering without a fight".

As for the Naga's shotguns for guns, Guderian seems to have some taste, and people have often said bad things about the three brothers: what a humble quest for glory, selling himself for a few pieces of equipment, shallow eyelids, etc., and so on. As a result, he was accidentally caught by White as a typical example of "destroying unity" and punished to work in the camp toilet for three days.

As for the three-headed Naga who later heard about the "slander" of the silverbeard dwarf. He just smiled indifferently and ignored it completely. After all, it's already affordable, and it's better than anything else. As for Guderian's mouth, the Balalaika brothers already knew it, and there was really no need to PK and scold the street with a "toilet cleaning aunt".

Time flies, and the trigger day of Operation North Wind is approaching.

In order to effectively cooperate with this important sabotage behind enemy lines, the week before the "Northern Blow", the Northern Allies launched a series of attacks on the goblin defense line in the salient with a dazzling bravery. Not only did the main legions of each city-state pour out one after another, but even several Grand Arcanists appeared on the stage to suppress the formation.

It is completely a posture of strategic decisive battle.

And this attack posture of the human race immediately shocked the goblin high-level of the Southern Alliance. Although after continuous fierce battles. The human legions did not take advantage of any real advantage in successive battles. But according to the current situation of the war. The goblin commanders still came to the prediction that "the human offensive may escalate further". Therefore, in addition to stepping up the consolidation of the existing positional defense line, the Goblin Coalition Army also quickly transferred reserves in the southern rear and some other garrison forces to the salient as preparations for "fighting a big battle and a tough battle".

Over here. We can't say that there was any obvious error or flaw in the Goblin Command's decision. After all. Concentrate on holding the mountains of A Coruña. Dragging down the human legion here is the core combat idea of the Yugoslav side of the Civil War. Therefore, in the face of NATO's aggressive attack posture, any cautious commander will make the decision to clench his fists and attack with all his might.

"Alright. Today, we received information that most of the goblin mobile units within 500 kilometers of the rear of the salient have rushed to the salient. And the rest, there are only a small number of stronghold garrisons. The stage for our activities has been much wider. ”

The day before boarding and departing, Moriarty gathered all the middle ranks of the squadron for the last combat readiness meeting. At the meeting, Moriarty once again explained and commented on the purpose, core and plan details of the "Operation North Wind" one by one. Clausewitz, the chief of staff, then handed over several notes containing the plans for the campaign to the company and squad commanders. And they are required to write it down immediately and then destroy it on the spot.

"In general, the most difficult part of this operation is not the destruction of the airship workshops, but how we can safely withdraw from the south after the operation is completed. You know, once you do it, your tracks will be exposed, and the goblins will definitely mobilize heavy troops to surround us. Whether or not we can rush back to the beach within the time limit and board the ship in time to return will completely determine our life and death. At the end of the meeting, Moriarty said.

"But what if those ships are left behind, and we run away first? What shall we do? At this time, Guderian asked the question habitually without a look.

"Then swim back." Moriarty smiled slightly: "From the sea, or, from the sea of blood." ”

"Okay, just swimming." Glared at by White, the silverbearded dwarf smiled innocently, with a look of irrelevancy.

At midnight, three specially painted black schooners docked in a hidden harbor fifty kilometers west of Stormwind. It is a fishing port that has been abandoned for more than a decade, and it was once very prosperous for a while, but then it was abandoned due to overfishing, which led to the rapid depletion of fishery resources.

But today, this abandoned port, with its excellent draft, has once again welcomed a group of mysterious guests.

"I'm the captain of the Pearl, Sudit, or you can call me 'Bearded.'"

In front of the makeshift trestle, an old sailor with a gray beard casually greeted Moriarty. At the same time, a pair of reddened eyes quickly swept over the large number of people behind him and the three Naga, who were conspicuous everywhere, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

"Your Excellency Moriarty, are all these people going to come with you on board? You know, this is the perfect place for a warm send-off ceremony. ”

At this moment, a mid-level mage from the Roma City Mage Regiment standing next to Captain Sudit sighed jokingly. He will act as the magic sand table operator on the Pearl, providing early warning and even fire support for sea voyages.

And there is no doubt that compared to the "elite death squads" sent by other city-states, Moriarty undoubtedly brought the most manpower. In fact, with the exception of the less mobile Sword and Shield Company, he moved most of the Olympus out. Obviously with all the effort, leaving no room for nothing.

"Lord Damon, I'm going to take care of you in the future."

Without responding to the other party's joke, Moriarty saluted the mid-level professional as a low-level mage. Even in this "Operation North Wind", Moriarty's actual power and position surpass that of the other party.

"Hehe, you're welcome, Lord Moriarty."

Because as the main force of the operation, and significantly stronger than the "commandos" of several other small city-states on the same ship, Olympus undisputed the best cabin in the cabin. As for whether others were willing or unconvinced, Moriarty did not consider it at all. Even, in addition to being confident in his own squadron, Moriarty even doubted that the other death squads would survive and return to the north.

While Moriarty and the others were quickly aboard the Pearl, the operational forces from the cities of Belus and Roma also boarded the other two sailing ships at the same time. According to the plan, the Albatross sailing ship in the city of Bellous will be the flagship of this sea trip and will assume the main duty of vigilance.

Time passed quickly, and when the morning star began to shine slightly in the eastern sky, the three ready-to-sail ships also hoisted their sails one by one, and quietly sailed away from the dock with the outward current. Soon, the fishing port, which had just been lit up, was cold and silent again in a blink of an eye, returning to the cold night, and no longer showing a trace of life.

"Your Excellency, you can go back to the cabin and rest. To reach the southern coast, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow night. ”

On deck, Sudit steered the rudder and directed the sailors to adjust the height and angle of the sails. Under the control of this old sailor, the Pearl is like a night elf, moving smoothly through the dark sea.

"Thanks, I don't want to sleep yet." Moriarty stood beside the captain and looked out at the ocean ahead.

At this time, it was the deepest night before dawn, and every qiē seemed to be dyed with a layer of black embers of nothingness, mixed into one. Even Moriarty could no longer see the other two ships in his travels, except for a few tenacious stars in the sky that were still stubbornly spreading weak light.

"Are we going straight south?" Looking up at the stars for a while, Moriarty suddenly said.

"No, the sailboat will go west, far away from the shoreline, and then turn south." As if surprised by the other's keen senses, Sudit glanced at Moriarty and replied clearly.

"Yes, it is necessary to stay as far away from the coast as possible before dawn." Moriarty nodded in understanding.

Such an arrangement was apparently made to avoid being discovered by the goblin airship. Unlike the land and mountainous areas, the sea surface is unobstructed and unobstructed, and the flight altitude of the goblin airship is as high as 1,000 feet. Once the weather is fine and the goblins have the heart, they can completely rely on the high platform of the airship to monitor the large sea surface near the coastline.

"Your Excellency, do you think this operation will be successful?" After a while, when Yiqiē gradually calmed down, and most of the sailors also retreated below deck, leaving only the men of the night watch, the old sailor suddenly lowered his voice.

It seems that as the captain of the Pearl, participating in such a dangerous sabotage activity, Sudit is also nervous because of the bottom of his heart.

"Of course. Otherwise, how could I take my subordinates down to death? Moriarty glanced at the other and smiled affirmatively.

And seeing such a quick smile, the old sailor's mood seemed to relax a lot. Then he didn't say anything more, but concentrated on steering the rudder, while checking the compass in his hand from time to time to confirm the direction of travel. (To be continued......)
