Chapter 3033: Don't mess with the goblins!
"Report!"
Outside the captain's room of the "King of the Seas", the flagship of the Navy Kurtiras, a young captain with blond hair knocked on the wooden door of the captain's room with a short and powerful voice, and gave a military salute in front of the admiral respectfully and standardly.
"Your Majesty, the fleet has spotted a fleet of goblin ships flying the Blackwater Pirate flag at ten o'clock."
"A total of one second-class warship, four third-class warships, and the rest of the eighteen armed merchant ships and cargo merchant ships, thirty nautical miles away from our fleet, are heading from northwest to southeast!"
"What is there to report on a fleet of no more than twenty ships?"
Admiral Dalein Prodmore, who was buried on the table, did not raise his head, and retorted with a slight displeasure.
"Their strength is really not worth mentioning, Your Majesty. However, the report of the forward fleet says...... In their fleet, there was a ship that seemed to be the 'Rider of the Waves' who followed the eldest lady across the endless sea......" The young captain hesitated, a little uncertain
"Oh?"
Admiral Dalin, who had carefully studied the sketchy map, finally looked away from the map, and a terrifying light burst out of his blue eyes, sweeping over the slightly nervous face of the young captain. Just like a sleeping lion found its prey, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the momentum of the epic hero climbed to the peak in an instant,
As if thinking of something, he muttered to himself:
"Gianna ......"
After a moment of silence, the aged admiral waved his hand lightly, and gave a cruel order lightly:
"Pass my orders! Ordered the Forward Fleet to capture the Wave Treading Knights, and sink the rest of the ships into the sea for them to be with the Naga. β
Migrate qi and nourish the body.
As the monarch of the kingdom of Kul Tiras, Daylin Prodmore is the man who rules the seas of Azeroth. There is an air of oppressive admiration in the gestures. A simple sentence, a look, and a movement will vividly show the majesty of the person who has been in the position for many years.
"Sue sΓΉ boys...... I'll give them twenty minutes! In twenty minutes, I'm going to meet the captain of the goblin fleet aboard the Sea King! β
Above the seas, Admiral Daylin Prodmore, the strongest fleet in Azeroth, is the uncrowned king of all his word, and no one can offend his majesty. Whether it was news about his beloved daughter or the suspected plundered warships of the kingdom, it was enough for Admiral Dalin to pronounce the fate of that group of goblin pirates......
The Blackwater Pirates and Hot Sand Consortium have a deep foundation and good strength. Above the ocean, facing the Navy of Kurtilas...... They don't deserve anything at all!
The honor and pride of dominating the three seas of Azeroth. It has long been integrated into the belief of every naval officer and soldier, and the young naval captain "snapped" and straightened his chest and abdomen, performed a standard military salute, and replied calmly and confidently;
"As you wish, Your Majesty...... Captain, our formation is out of order! β
"Don't care about the bullshit formation, flag talk! Let all the ships and ships spread their sails and get rid of those Kurtiras maniacs as quickly as possible! β
The formation of the goblin fleet on the sea has been completely disorganized, and the more than 20 ships can no longer distinguish between the Chinese army, the forward, the left flank, and the right flank, like a school of panicked fish scattered in all directions. Desperate to speed up.
The goblin captain, who was the commander of the goblin raiding fleet, had almost frantically raised his sharp voice to give the order for the fleet to escape. No one who fought on the seas had the guts to meet the bayonets of the near-heyday of the Coolsrath Navy on the sea.
As a pirate, the only hope for escaping in front of these naval maniacs is ...... Run faster than other boats!
Unfortunately, the goblin pirates' last hope was dashed......
A faint white mist spread endlessly on the dim sea, and more than 200 second-class warships of the Kurtiras Navy's forward fleet formed a dense black shadow on the sea. Breaking the waves, it is extremely spectacular. But in the eyes of the goblin sailors, it was a death talisman for the god of death.
After only a few minutes, they were completely surrounded and there was nowhere to escape...... No one can take away the riches of the goblins! For the sake of gold coins, fight with these people! β
"Fire!"
Stimulated by the double loss of life and property, the goblin sailors launched a desperate counterattack in a completely frenzied manner.
Almost at the same time. The two sides of the naval battle, which had a huge disparity in strength, gave orders in unison, either hoarse or calm and decisive, and the fire was lit from the muzzle of the guns, and the loud noise soared into the sky, and the shells formed a barrage, whistling and rushing towards the opposite side.
Of course...... The comparison of the artillery strength of the two sides is not on the same level at all......
The situation of this "encirclement and suppression" above the sea is lackluster.
Armed merchant ships are much inferior in firepower to warships due to their ship size and transportation needs. For example, a medium-sized ship generally carries only twenty to thirty cannons. The cannonballs fired by merchant ships flew a distance of four hundred yards and landed weakly on the hull of the naval battleship. This is beyond the effective range of ordinary cannons, not to mention the hull of a ship reinforced by a magic array, even ordinary oak planks will not be pierced.
And the shells fired by the all-colored group of second-class battleships of the Kurtilas Navy battleship were very different. The shells shattered the planks without any suspense, and went into the cabin to wreak havoc, smashing the cannon or tearing the gunners inside into a puddle of minced meat......
Just one salvo. Illuminated by the firelight, all that remained was a fragment of a shattered and burning ship. When the ferocious artillery fire of the Kul Tiras Navy finally stopped, there were broken masts, broken planks, the corpses of goblin sailors, and the desperate wails of pirates that filled the eardrums......
The raiding fleet under the third squadron of the Blackwater Pirates in Ratchet City was wiped out in just a few minutes...... All that remained was the second-class battleship "Gold Coin and Rum", with its guns dumb fire, broken masts, and loss of power, floating alone on the surface of the sea...... A quarter of an hour after the Navy's order to slaughter, the goblin captain and first mate of the "Gold Coin and Rum", along with more than 100 surviving crew members, were escorted by swords-wielding marines to the metal deck of the palace-like "Sea Kingship".
Admiral Dalin, dressed in a smart suit, stood on the high spiral staircase at the rudder of the battleship and looked down on a group of goblin pirate captives, his eagle-sharp gaze as if to shoot deep into all his hearts.
"I'm Daylin Prodmore, Admiral Kul Tiras. Right now. I have some questions that I need you to answer. β
As he spoke, the admiral was like a lion king patrolling the territory, slowly walked down the spiral staircase, paced to the thin figure wearing the hat of a pirate captain, and locked his strong momentum and coercion on the dejected, gloomy face of the elf captain, and said word by word:
"I ask you, understand, Greenskin?"
"Admiral Dalin! Your fleet attacked my fleet for no reason, and I want to compensate! Indemnify!!! β
"Without compensation, we won't answer your question a word!"
It's like being stepped on by the tail. The jumping cat, the goblin captain, roared excitedly at the sea king in front of him. At this moment, the goblin captain, who only had the strength of the fifth order, miraculously had no fear of the strength of Admiral Dai Lin's epic hero, ignored the difference in status between the two sides, and was full of the words "gold coins and compensation", and did what many pirate powerhouses could not think of!
"Wrong answer!"
"Bang!"
"Plop!"
The goblin captain roared hoarsely, but in exchange for Admiral Dai Lin's powerful kick, he was kicked aside and collapsed to the ground, without breathing for a long time. The ugly green face full of wrinkles was purple and suffocated. After a while, he squirted out a large mouthful of bruised flesh with a "pounce......
Without even glancing at the half-dead goblin captain, Captain Dalin had already walked straight to the next goblin sailor, and continued to ask with a calm expression without a trace of waves:
"Answer me, how did the Wave Treader end up in the hands of you Blackwater pirates?"
"Pay with one hand, deliver with the other! You don't want to hear anything without gold! β
"Bang!"
The goblin sailor, who was interrogated, was kicked straight away and died instantly......
"Sue me for the orcs in this continent!"
"Ha, that's ridiculous. Do you want to do business without pay? β
"Bang!"
Another blow sounded on the tattered floc, and the third goblin sailor's soul flew away...... Fourth, fifth...... 8th, 9th ...... A dozen goblin pirates died at the admiral's feet, but the tenacity of these skinny greenskins was unexpectedly tenacious, not at all as timid as the continent was rumored. On the contrary, they have all become "hard bones......
The always high Daylin Prodmore used how to know that "gold coins are more important to goblins than life." "The truth?
I have to say that the goblin clan has a habit of recognizing money.... It's really weird!
The admiral's interrogation continued, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen goblin sailors were turned into ghosts at their feet. Just as Admiral Dalin was about to personally interrogate the next captive, he was interrupted by a loud debriefing.
"Report!" The previous captain walked briskly from the side of another battleship, saluted and reported, "Your Majesty, I think you should take a look at this!" The Marines of the Forward Fleet have just found the ...... aboard the Rider of the Waves."
With that, the captain respectfully presented the sharkskin scroll between his hands to the admiral who turned around, and silently pushed it aside.
"Nautical charts of the continent of Kalimdor? Orgrimmar and Theramore? Well done lads! He opened the scroll with great interest. Daillin Prodmore's eyes lit up, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face: "I finally found you...... Gianna and the orc dregs! β
Tossing the sharkskin scroll back to the young captain, Admiral Dahrin had already flung his cloak and strode towards the captain's quarters, and at the same time commanded in a loud voice:
"Give the charts to First Officer Colmos and let him take the helm to Theramore! General Order Fleet. Accelerate with the flagship! β
"The day after tomorrow, we will land in Kalimdor!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! And these goblin pirates ......"
The captain stepped forward to answer the order, and asked with a slight hesitation. But hearing his question, the admiral's face, which was originally in a good mood, suddenly became cloudy, turned around and stared coldly at the captain who knew that he was speechless, and asked sharply:
"Captain. What is the thirteenth and seventh regulations of the Imperial Navy, recite it to me! β
"All those who participate, aid, or conceal acts of piracy...... Once captured, they will all be shown to the public and will not be tolerated. The head hung for ten days...... To set an example......" blushing, the young captain recited with his neck bent at maximum volume.
"Very well, I don't want to hear such a stupid question again! Enforce military regulations! β
With that, the admiral had already strode away, leaving only the silent sailors on the deck. The cruel fate that awaits the goblin pirates is self-evident...... On the sides of the ship hung the heads of hundreds of pirates, fishmen, naga, and even sea monsters that had long since been dried. Today, there will be many new "partners" next to these heads......
"No, you can't! We goblins have always been strictly neutral! By doing so, you are provoking war! β
The goblin captain, who had finally recovered his life, was now screaming hoarsely, but unfortunately his scolding was to no avail.
The captain of the navy, who was reprimanded by the monarch, had already rushed to the sailors and naval soldiers who were responsible for escorting the pirates beside him with a cold face, and ordered loudly:
"Marines, carry out the order!"
"Execution!"
β¦β¦
After a short and tiny naval battle and massacre, a superfleet of thousands of giant warships has set sail again in the night.
The elite ships of the Kurtilas Navy are full of sails, led by the sea giant magic battleship "Sea King". Ride the waves and waves towards the ancient continent of Kalimdor at high speed.
No one noticed that as they drifted away, a pure white albatross with a wingspan of more than four meters landed from high above on a cracked deck fragment on the sea......
"Whoa!"
On the surface of the sea, which had been as quiet as a ghost, suddenly there was a violent wheezing sound and the sound of paddling on the water. On the blood-stained sea, a straight "corpse" suddenly turned over and swam quickly to the broken plank where the albatross was docked.
This "corpse" was none other than the lookout and navigator of the "Gold Coin and Rum". Old pirate Curry bearings.
"Oh, baby! I knew you wouldn't leave me! You're cuter than gold! β
As a goblin pirate who had just climbed onto the plank, as a hunter who escaped by "feigning his death", he hugged his pet or animal companion, and cried and wiped his tears: ", my commission." My dividends, my coins! β
"Oh,! The gold coins are on it, and I didn't buy insurance for this voyage! β
The wolf howled for most of the day, and even the albatross pet companion couldn't stand the master's "magic sound", and the old Curry finally steadied his feelings, looked at the direction of the departure of the naval fleet of Kurtilas viciously, gritted his teeth and swore with a curse:
"Job. We must hurry back to Ratchet City and seek revenge from the big boss of the fleet! β
"Damn the Navy wreck, no one can get away with it after cutting off a goblin's fortune! You're going to pay for it! I promise! β
β¦β¦
A moment later, a giant albatross soared into the sky and flew high in the direction of Ratchet City. And under his claws was a thin goblin clutched, and a terrifying cry of wolf howled suddenly came from the otherwise quiet sea.
As for the blood-stained sea. Near the wreckage of the annihilated goblin fleet, it has been completely transformed into a shark paradise...... That human navy actually bullied me? Unforgivable! Unforgivable!! β
The winter sun always makes you feel warm.
But in the ugly appearance and luxurious city lord's mansion in Ratchet City, the rich man Gazruvi, who was sitting on the wide boss's chair, slapped the table with an annoyed face and a hideous face!
"No one can afford to lose a goblin a fortune without paying a price! No one! β
I can't help but be angry and ashamed!
Early this morning, the head of his bodyguard led a dejected-looking sailor to knock on the door of the Lord's Palace.
Gazruvi, who was flirting with his "beautiful and charming" female secretary in his room and preparing for a "morning transport", was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head when he learned that a fleet under his command had been wiped out and wiped out under the fire of the Kurtiras navy, and that more than a dozen ships of valuable goods worth tens of thousands of gold coins had also sunk into the sea.
A certain physiological desire suddenly collapsed and dissipated, and even a short hardness somewhere instantly completely paralyzed into a "caterpillar......
It's always the goblins who take advantage of it everywhere, when will it be the goblin's turn to suffer?
The actions of the Kurtilas Navy have completely angered this goblin trade tycoon!
As one of the top merchants and suppliers in Karim, although Ghazruvi has a good personal relationship with the old Tang, the businessman's profit-seeking nature has always made him "strictly neutral", at least on the surface, he treats both sides that have developed the rudiments of the alliance tribes.
After all, doing business at both ends is the right choice for those real businessmen......
But now, the actions of the Kurtilas Navy have undoubtedly slapped the trade tycoon in the mouth!
Slap in the face!
There is no doubt that the "improper" brutality of Daylin Prodmore has completely troubled Ghazruvi and pushed this goblin profiteer with incredible wealth into the arms of the "Horde"! Even if he will not blatantly declare war on the sea hegemon of the Kurtilas Navy, it is inevitable to make stumbling blocks, play tricks, and be ruthless behind his back......
Like now......
"Let all the battleships of the Third Fleet return to port and take shelter for the time being!" Gazruvi, who had finally calmed down, ordered to his bodyguard leader with a gloomy face: "Send another frogman unit and let them throw all the newly developed mines in the warehouse on the sea near Theramore, as many as they want!" β
"Offended the goblins? Hmph, I'm going to show those damn human navies how powerful goblins are! β
With that, Gazruvi had already stood up and walked outside the lord's mansion, and at the same time commanded his "glamorous" goblin secretary:
"Go get someone ready for my airship!"
"In half an hour, I'm going to go to Mogoray in person to talk to Grand Overseer Gud about business!" The goblin city lord's face was full of sinister sinister smiles: "I think the tribe must be very willing to eat the next batch of weapons and materials transferred at a low price in order to maintain its advantage in the barren land...... Don't mess with the goblins! (To be continued) Q
