With the Baroness and Baroness of Rivendell warmly sending them off, the Sarians left Stratholme in a hurry.

The situation is urgent, and Stellagossa directly opens the portal to Silvermoon City.

After exiting the Tower of the Sunrage, Sarjan strode towards Kael'thas office with a gloomy face.

Valera and Sarjan split up and went to the Backlight Blade headquarters to inform Velles.

Stellagosa was teleported to Yangfan Harbor with Onexia and Tina Gosa, and in the name of Sarren, as the royal planner, informed the coastal fleet of Yangfan Harbor to prepare for maritime defense.

Since Quel'Thalas had always maintained a good relationship with Kurtiras, he did not build a galleon with huge consumables, but only an offshore fleet dedicated to defense.

Due to a serious conflict between his own interests and Terenus's decision-making, Baron Rivendell took the risk of telling Sarren about the imminent attack of the "pirates".

He didn't want Quel'Thalas to cut ties with Stratholme over the matter.

Reminded by the barrage, Saray had already guessed.

Eighty percent of these pirates were disguised by Lordaeron's official fleet, and in the other world where the barrage is located, this behavior is called lawful privateering.

Of course, by lawfulness here we mean that it is lawful in the country where the order was issued, and it is impossible for the attacked country to recognize the legality of such privateering.

Lordaeron's comprehensive national strength ranks first among the seven human countries, and there are no shortcomings in all aspects.

Their naval fleet is not as large and elite as that of Kurtiras, but it is not comparable to a crotch-pulling offshore fleet like Quel'Thalas.

Unfortunately, Kurtilas has been busy with the naval battle with Zandalar recently, and he can't spare his forces to help the High Elves for the time being.

Once the offshore fleet in Yangfan Harbor is defeated, the privateer fleet will land in the port and continue to wreak havoc.

Sunsail Harbor is a bustling trading port of Quel'Thalas, located at the northernmost tip of the Eastern Continent, and it is almost impossible for pirates to risk offending Kurtilas and Quel'Thalas to raid here.

The occasional outlaw could not break through the defenses of the offshore fleet in a short time.

Just wait for reinforcements from Kul Tiras's patrol fleet to arrive, and the game will be over once and for all.

The purpose of Lordaeron's privateers is unknown, perhaps to disguise themselves as Kurtiras pirates and disrupt the friendly relationship between Quel'Thalas and Kurtiras.

From Sarjan's point of view, this approach is very inferior, and it is not in line with the demeanor of the first human power that Terenus has always flaunted.

"What?!"

Upon learning that Sarren was urgently asking for a meeting, Kael'thas, who was still discussing the follow-up development of the reform of the bureaucratic system with Solan Lian, immediately jumped up from the couch.

"Pirates from Lordaeron? Will it attack Yangfan Harbor? ”

Kael'thas had a look of surprise on his face, and his face gradually became gloomy as he listened to Sarren's layer-by-layer analysis.

"How could Terenus use such a despicable method of provocation...... Was this really an order from Terenus himself? ”

Salian shook his head, "I'm not sure, but at least I'm sure the order came from Lordaeron's Royal City." ”

"Their plan has reached a certain stage, and we have to come up with a response as soon as possible."

Kael'thas subconsciously walked back and forth in the Hall of Interviews twice with his hands behind his back.

"With Quel'Thalas's poor naval prowess, he will definitely not be able to stop Lordaeron's privateer fleet."

"Solan Lian, can you ask Kurtilas for help?"

Solanlian nodded slightly, "Yes, but not necessarily from them." ”

"The main fleet of Kurtiras is still fighting with the Zandalar Golden Fleet for control of the sea, and even King Dahrin himself has hurried back to Belarhas from Dalaran to preside over the overall situation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to draw a warship to support us."

"Tsk!"

Kael'thas knocked his forehead irritably: "Terenus must have seen this opportunity before he dared to make a risky move, if it weren't for Baron Rivendell's reminder, we who don't know anything are afraid that we will really suffer a big loss." ”

Kael'thas pondered for a moment: "Leave Terenus's motives and strange brain circuits alone, and pass the information to Belarhas first, at least let Dalin know about it." ”

"Sarean, you first take my token to Yangfan Harbor to inform the offshore fleet to leave the port for patrol, and report as soon as you find the enemy, and by the way, help me go to the council and call Liressa."

……

In a naval battle, Quel'Salas is certainly not an opponent.

At this point, Kael'thas had to find a way to minimize his losses as much as possible.

Assured of losing the naval battle, Salian began to think about how to give the enemy a head-on blow when they landed.

Baron Rivendell doesn't mention any of the big names in the privateering fleet.

According to the speculation of the barrage, eighty percent of this fleet was drawn from the nearest Eastern Tirisfa, and it is likely that it is inextricably linked to the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Sarayan bets his hopes of victory on land battles.

Saljan intends to use Quel'Thalas's remaining highly mobile forces to relive the Lordaeron privateer's fleet of Drake Proudmoor's crimes, and to weaken their combat capabilities at sea as much as possible.

Receiving the latest news, all members of the Backlight Blade went into action, and Valera was assigned by Sarian to the Red Dragon Knights' camp in the southern part of the Eternal Song Forest to inform them of their dispatch.

Saryan teleported to Sunny Breeze Village first, and as a royal envoy, he ordered Sunny Breeze Village to enter a second combat readiness state.

The High Elves, who were still drunk and dreaming of death, were forcibly sent out of Sunny Wind Village, which will be used as a front-line stronghold for reinforcements to Yangfan Harbor, and logistics materials will be transported to Sunny Wind Village for unified distribution.

At the same time, the Yangfan Port Authority had been reminded by Stella Gosa and immediately entered the first level of combat readiness.

Port Authority staff are evacuating ships moored inside and outside the dock and informing residents of Yangfan Port to take shelter in the basement.

A fleet flying the Pirate Skull flag is sailing at full speed in the far sea area on the eastern shore of Quel'Salas.

The lighthouse spotter on Quelldanus Island was the first to see the unidentified fleet preparing to circle the island, and rang the island's warning bell.

"Bell~Bell~Bell~"

The basic bells echoed in the island of Queldanus, and the Salorian Morning Seekers, still sitting in the sunwell, looked at the sea with a frown.

"With 3 capital ships, 8 frigates, and 2 supply ships, can the pirates come up with such a large and comprehensive fleet?"

After bypassing Queldanus Island, the privateer finally stopped hiding and officially sailed into the offshore waters.

After passing by the island on the side of the island, the fleet continued southward and headed straight for Yangfan Harbor, which was ready for battle.

Seeing from afar the situation in Yangfan Harbor as if it were facing a great enemy, Captain Barry Weswin and Alfred Abidis of the Silver Hand breathed a sigh of relief.

"Civilians have gone into hiding, and at least this battle will not involve innocent people, which is somewhat of a consolation."

Abidis smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no justice in our actions, what is the use of this little comfort? ”

"It's hard to disobey the military order, so you can only bite the bullet."

Seeing that Quel'Thalas' offshore high-speed fleet was in formation, Weswin patted his cheeks and forced himself to concentrate.

"Grab the T-top position! Artillery ready, be careful not to get stuck with those little things! ”

"Yes!"

The High Elves' offshore fleets are small to medium-sized galleys with no guns on board, and are the type of ships that kill and injure the enemy in broadside combat.

The High Elves are rich in ranged classes such as Mages and Rangers, and the crew configuration of the Offshore Fleet follows this pattern.

Before engaging the enemy ship, powerful long-range fire will wash the deck first, suppressing the opponent to the point where he cannot stand up.

It's a pity that today they are facing the long-range capital ship artillery, and there are many frigates with rough skin and resistance to beating in front.

It is difficult for the ships of the Coastal Fleet to break through the defenses of the frigate group, so they can only target these smaller sailing ships first and kill them at sea.

On the way to Yangfan Harbor, Salian hears the roar of artillery at sea.

Looking at the fierce battle going on at sea from afar, Salian could only pray silently in his heart.

"Hold on, brothers of the offshore fleet, reinforcements are already on the way."

"As long as we survive this wave of attacks, it will be our turn to give the Lordaerons a wave of classic reproductions."
