Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A burst of cannon fire rang out, and a hot solid cannonball rushed out of the muzzle of a gun, and then bombarded the enemy's ship, instantly punching holes in the opponent's ship, or plowing out a miserable flesh mark in the crowd, so that those stumps and blood were directly spread on the enemy's ship......

"Stop attacking!!"

At this time, at the rear of the orc fleet, there were already the forward ships of the Seventh Fleet that took the lead in catching up with the enemy and began the first round of bombardment!

Then, the orc troop carrier, which had fallen last and had not had time to lift its speed, was blown apart by a burst of cannonballs...... The hundreds of orcs, trolls, minotaurs, boar men, and so on on all screamed as the sinking wooden ship tumbled into the icy waters.

"Humph! Leave them alone and don't waste time! ”

"Continue the pursuit at full speed and prepare to attack the next ship! Let the beasts down there, let them soak in the water! There are no land, no islands, no other ships passing by, and only a maelstrom, so they're dead! ”

When he saw that some of the sailors on his ship who had nothing to do had drawn their muskets and were lining up to slow down their ships to shoot the tribal soldiers who had fallen on the sea, swimming hard or struggling with crumbling logs, the admiral reprimanded them severely.

There is no need to waste their precious ammunition on these ugly beasts, which are already mortal! He believed that the merciless sea, which would naturally make them desperate little by little and devour their miserable lives, would be more relieving to him than ending their ugly lives with muskets!

"Obey, obey ......"

Seeing that His Excellency the Admiral began to lose his temper, the soldiers could only casually aim the projectiles in the muskets at the enemy fluttering on the sea and shoot a round, leaving red splashes of the opponent's blood there, and then put away the musket weapons that had been safe with ammunition, and then turned their heads and went about their own business.

They knew that Admiral Dai Lin was right, the beasts of those tribes would definitely not survive, but they had a deep hatred for the orcs, and they couldn't help but want to experience the thrill of revenge when shooting the enemy with a musket.

……

"Quick! Tie those things up tightly and make use of everything you can use! ”

"And you, throw away all those buckets of water, we have two mages on the ship, and the water-making technique can keep you alive! Throw away all the heavy stuff! ”

At this time, the orcs of some tribes were shouting and shouting the coolies of various tribes were busy on the ship.

And on this huge warship with fangs and horns in the rough style of the tribe, except for the sails painted with the pattern of the tribal flag, the simple orcs even hung their clothes everywhere they could, whether it was the cable, the edge of the ship, or the sides of the mainsail, so that they could fully absorb the power of the north wind and make their ships a little faster.

“……”

Here, at the head of the tribal fleet, on top of the flagship that led the way, the Great Chief Thrall was standing at the bow of the ship, looking a little lonely at the rear of his fleet, where he could faintly see that the enemy's fleet seemed to have bitten the ships at the rear of their ranks.

Presumably, many of the warriors of the tribe have died in the sea, right? And the reason why this sad thing happened was all his fault and he shouldn't have ......

Alas......

"Chief! Now the enemy has caught up, they have sunk two troop transports behind us, and hundreds of Horde warriors are gone! Now that they've entered the storm zone with us, give the order! ”

Of course, King Sarufar also heard the sound of cannons in the rear of the fleet, and when he heard the lookout on the mast report that his tribe had sunk two warships transporting troops, he could no longer sit still! Therefore, he immediately walked to the side of the Great Chief Sal, waiting for the other party to give the final order.

"You're right, Sarufar......"

"Now go and tell the shamans to start the ritual! Also, let the other captains of the ship following us be careful: when the storm begins, no matter what happens, you must not slow down, let alone change course at will, and you must follow us closely! Only by following us can we have a chance to rush out! ”

"That's all, you go and give orders, may the souls of the ancestors bless us......"

After barely saying this to Sarufar, Thrall was depressed, and no longer paid attention to Sarufar who patted his chest and saluted, let alone looked at the ships of the Seventh Fleet in the distance behind him, which were neatly and murderously pounced on their tribal fleet, but sighed, and walked straight to the front of the bow of the ship to stand still.

This time, once the storm has started and become violent, Thrall will use all his power to communicate with the currents of the sea and the storm, and do his best to get as many tribal ships out as possible! In any case, they must not be surrounded by the enemy, and he must lead the warriors of the tribe to escape from the storm zone and the dangerous maelstrom, and escape from the pursuit of the Seventh Fleet!

It's just that he doesn't dare to guarantee how many ships and how many tribes' warriors will survive in the end...... It must have been a terrible number he would never have dared to imagine.

Woo! Woo!

Soon, as Sarufar ran to give the order himself, the entire orc fleet began to sound a long horn, and they were blowing this battle-like horn to convey the final order of the Great Chief Thrall among the fleets.

……

"That's a little weird......"

Following behind the tribal fleet, Dalin, who was gradually chasing the enemy, looked at the orc fleet in the distance with some confusion. He found that they were sailing in a strange direction, and it seemed that instead of cutting through a safer place at the edge of the maelstrom, they were heading in the direction of death a little further inside?!

If you sail like this, with the current wind speed, you can't go anywhere! Then, in a few hours, they will be swept straight into the bottom of the sea by the relentless maelstrom and become a delicacy for the fish! Therefore, Dai Lin was very puzzled, did the other party not know how to sail at all, or did he have another purpose?

Anyway, he was very puzzled now, and he always felt that there was something strange about the behavior of those orcs!

After hesitating for a while, standing at the height of the bow of the ship, stepping on the guardrail, intently observing the enemy's formation, and silently listening to the faint horn sound from the other party, Admiral Dai Lin, somehow, suddenly felt a little wrong! However, he couldn't figure out what was the problem.

"Report! Your Excellency, we have noticed a sudden change in wind speed, look! ”

Just as Dai Lin was puzzled by the behavior of the orc fleet and did not understand what was wrong, a fleet officer who was responsible for observing the direction of the wind quickly ran to his side and reported to him loudly with a small and delicate anemometer.

Weather, sea conditions, and even wind speeds are particularly important factors in the world of Azeroth, where ships and sailing skills are backward! In a regular fleet like the Seventh Fleet, each ship is equipped with one or two professional observers, who are specifically responsible for observing sea conditions, weather, and other data.

"In this kind of sunny weather...... How could there be changes? It's not ......."

Click~Boom!!

Dai Lin originally thought it was a false alarm or something, because they had made an assessment before, and the weather near this sea area today was very clear, with a north wind of three to four degrees, and it was impossible for there to be much change!

But who would have thought that before he finished his words, a thunderbolt exploded on a sunny day!

Then, dark clouds rolled over the sky in an instant, and together with the original north wind, it became bigger and more violent! Then, among the rolling dark clouds, lightning soon appeared, and slashed straight down to the sea!

Thankfully, it seems to be just plain cloud lightning, not directed at any one party.

"What the hell is going on here, and why is the weather changing so outrageously?!"

Countless years of crisscrossing the sea, changing sea conditions and complex weather conditions, Dai Lin has seen a lot a lot! As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, which is very normal! However, in the current situation, there is no warning at all, and it is a little too weird to go from a sunny sky to a storm.

Although he still doesn't know why this is the case, Dai Lin knows that this situation must not be normal!

"Report to Your Excellency the Admiral!"

"The wind speed is still increasing, the north wind is now close to force ten, the wave is eight feet high, we are now in the storm zone, and the torrential rain is about to fall, I suggest that Your Excellency, you immediately order a turn and sail to the eastern sea for emergency evasion!"

Soon, another naval officer who was checking the sea conditions and was in charge of navigation came running quickly.

They had just estimated the wind speed and came to a dangerous conclusion: if the north wind continued to strengthen, if they didn't run, they would probably be blown straight into the maelstrom in front of them by the sudden appearance of the storm a few hours later!

"Your Excellency the Admiral of Kul Tiras! I told you ...... before."

"If I'm not mistaken, this storm must have been caused by those orc shamans? When I found them before, they had been performing some kind of strange ritual for days on end...... And now, judging by the direction of the wind, they must have intended to blow you straight into the maelstrom? ”

"And, take a look...... In the vicinity of the maelstrompool, the whirlpool currents have become more turbulent, the waves have become more violent, and even the strong northerly winds have become a little unusual...... In this situation, even if we naga stay on the surface of the sea, it will be very dangerous! So, Your Excellency, you can make your decision now. ”

At this time, Naga, the woman who had been staying on the ship and enjoying the free voyage for several days, also followed suit. As marine creatures, they certainly know what this weather means.

Their Seventh Fleet, if they don't quickly avoid the turn, will be very dangerous next, and if they are not careful, it is normal for the entire army to be annihilated.

"Sir! I also think it's best for us to change course immediately and rush out of the storm zone from the southeast before the storm gets bigger and before we get too far from the maelstrom! ”

"Those orcs have gone crazy and are still rushing in the direction of the maelstrom, you can let them go on their own......"

Seeing that the situation had changed, the flagship first mate, who had been silently following Dai Lin, also had to speak cryptically, and suggested that Dai Lin should stop chasing those orcs, so as not to lose more than he gained.

"Of course I do! But ......"

"Look at ...... What are those orcs doing now, they still seem to be accelerating? I don't think those beasts would go crazy like that! They must have had some reason to do this! ”

The sea conditions had changed, and although he was unwilling, Dai Lin still did not rush to order a turn, but looked at the tribal ships in the distance that continued to speed up as if they were not going to take advantage of the arrival of the storm.

The direction of the other party's sailing has always been very weird...... Seems to be planning to plunge straight into the maelstrom in the danger zone? Are they really stupid, or are the ignorant fearless?

"No, I think I finally got it...... They're actually trying to run! Ha, interesting! That's how it is, I'm really underestimating them! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! I think I finally know what they are for: they want to use the force of the storm to speed up the ship, and as long as the speed is enough, they can run out of this dangerous area directly out of the current control of the maelstrom and escape our pursuit! ”

"Look at the map!"

Finally, a flash of inspiration flashed in Dai Lin's mind, and he immediately understood the crazy thoughts of the orcs. Then, he led everyone to the chart that was nailed to the wooden table, and soon, he marked the current position and course of the orc fleet, and the other party, wanting to use the speed to rush directly through the red danger area with the blessing of the storm, and escape directly!

You know, their Kurtilas navy, generally only dare to use the whirlpool current to accelerate in the green area of the big whirlpool marked on the map, a big navy ship like them, entering the yellow area means danger, but in the current situation of favorable wind direction, it can be regarded as safe to enter and exit, but ...... If it's a red zone, they're afraid to approach it!

"So, we can't just run away, we have at least two or three hours to chase them down to reach this sea! When the time comes, we will turn due east, and the strong north wind will allow us to leave safely! ”

"Everyone, start signaling: all ships are at full speed and full speed!"

"Even what those beasts dare to do, why don't we Kul Tiras? We hurried to catch up, sliced with all our might to the edge of the great vortex in the north wind, and bombarded them all the way! Sink them! ”

After finally figuring out the reason for the strange way the orcs reduced their burden and accelerated towards the maelstrom, Dai Lin laughed out loud!

"They still want to scare us away with storms and maelstroms? That's wishful thinking! ”

"Humph! We need to teach those foolish orcs a lesson, and we must let them know that our Kurtiras have a fearless seafaring spirit and great seamanship that they will never be able to match! ”

Those orcs, in a desperate situation, could still think of such a way that could make most of the fleet ships safely escape from the encirclement of their Seventh Fleet, which made him admire! Dai Lin felt that there must be a very powerful character in the orc fleet!

Therefore, this strengthened his determination to completely defeat the other party! Because, admiration is admiration, but only the dead enemy is the best enemy!

"The subordinates understand ......"

"But Your Excellency! We now have nearly a quarter of our ships in poor condition, and in such extreme weather and bad sea conditions, I fear that they will not be able to complete the task of pursuing the voyage with such a high load......"

Although the first mate understood Dai Lin's thoughts and intentions, he was still a little worried. Because those ships that have already had some problems before, and have not had time to complete the overhaul because they need to hurry around the enemy's back, are likely to have problems on the way.

If that's the case, if one accidentally gets blown into the maelstrom, it's really over!

"It's okay!"

"Pass the order: let the ships in poor condition turn to the southeast in formation, and let them go to the northwest corner of Darkmoon Island first to wait for us! When we send those orcs out to sea to feed the fish, we'll go meet them!" ”

After looking at the orc fleet in the distance, which he had already seen through the trick, Dai Lin sneered and gave the order.

If the orcs were just messing around, then he might not dare to accompany them to death. But now, now that he knows the other party's true purpose, what does he have to worry about? Fight the technology of navigation, fight the performance of the ship, they Kul Tiras, who has he been afraid of Admiral Dai Lin Dai?!

They can just catch up all the way, and within a certain period of time, they can kill and fight happily!

"Yes! Yes, sir! ”

Now that the matter has been sorted out, the first mate has no reason to refuse or disobey the order. This is like what the admiral said, the orcs dare to fight, why don't they Kul Tiras?

“……”

"Admiral Dalin, our mission has been accomplished...... It's not too early, and it's time for us to take our leave...... If you make it back alive, we'll be waiting for you at Lordaeron's Whispering Bay! ”

"The maelstrom is dangerous, good luck!"

Next, it was a very dangerous pursuit mission, and it was useless for them Naga to stay here, so the female Naga saw that the situation was not good, and her mind changed, and she directly said goodbye to Dai Lin.

If she was going straight back to Lordaeron, she would have liked to have a free boat to take it, but ...... If it's going to be a maelstrom, then I'm sorry, they won't be accompanied.

"Anyway, this time, thanks to your timely information, we at Kul Tiras will remember this kindness! I promise you: the Naga of your tribe will be a friend of our Kul Tiras! ”

Now, Daelin was actually a bit of a fluke, if he hadn't happened to run into these Naga sent by Queen Kalia to pick him up, once they continued their voyage along the original stupid route, and waited until they reached the storm zone trap prepared by the orcs, that would be a terrible end...... He couldn't imagine it!

"Then goodbye, I hope to see you ...... again"

After saying that, Naga and the fishmen walked directly to the edge of the boat, and then with a few 'poof' and 'poof' sounds, they plunged into the sea one after another, and soon disappeared completely. They can't be blamed for their cowardice, after all, the next chase battle is not a joke, and if they are swept into the maelstrom, it will also be very life-threatening for Naga and the fish-people.

So, while you're still far from the maelstrom, it's best to go straight to the sea, get below the surface, find a way to catch a few turtles or seahorses, and slowly swim back to Lordaeron.

As for the storm or something, it doesn't affect them at all under the sea.

“……”

"Order: Heading due south, five degrees to the right, we are moving at full speed! The left and right hyun artillery are ready to reload, and if they find any enemy ships that have entered the firing range, they can fire directly without waiting for orders! ”

After seeing the female Naga and the fish-men jump into the sea one by one and quickly disappear, Dai Lin turned his head and ordered to the first mate.

Today, those orcs, don't want to run out of his palm easily!

Even if they can't completely annihilate each other, they will do their best, and if they can sink a few ships, they must teach those beasts an unforgettable lesson, so that they will be terrified when they see the warships of the Kurtilas Navy!

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

As the first mate went forward again to give the order, soon, except for a dozen or twenty ships that were not in good condition and did not dare to pursue and began to leave the battle line of the fleet and turn to the southeast, preparing to stay away from the storm area, the others followed closely the flagship of the Admiral of Daelin, directly full sails, and fiercely pounced on the orc fleet in the distance!

"Humph! Orc ...... You will definitely remember this day forever! ”

Looking at the slightly chaotic orc fleet in front of him, Dai Lin sneered and put away his binoculars. At their current speed, it would only take half an hour for their front team to catch up with them, and then they would use their guns to turn those ridiculously rough wooden wrecks into logs!

As for the storm?

Hum! Their Kurtilas have never been afraid of storms, so let the winds be more ferocious! Only in this way can they witness this brilliant victory of theirs!
