The Kurtilas Islands are located off the western coast of the Eastern Kingdom, forming an oblique triangle with the locations of the Broken Islands and the Zendara Islands.

The destination of the trip was the barren land of central Kalimdor, and considering the influence of the ocean currents caused by the great vortex, the safest and fastest route needed to pass along the southern coastline of the Zandala archipelago.

Kurtilas had won a resounding naval battle with Zandalara, so the dividends of the war had begun to be felt.

In the past, the merchant and passenger ships of Kurtiras did not dare to approach the waters off the coast of the Zandala Islands, lest they be driven away or even attacked by the Golden Fleet, and they would have to make a long detour.

After the naval battles of Kurtilas and Zandalara, the Golden Fleet suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to recover in a dozen years.

As a result, there was no maritime defense off the coast of the Zendara Islands, and Kurtilas's ships could travel between Kalimdor and the eastern mainland more quickly through this route, effectively reducing the cost of transportation for merchant ships traveling between the two continents.

However, there are pros and cons.

The defeat of the Golden Fleet left the Zandalar trolls reluctant to relinquish control of the surrounding seas.

However, despite the victory in the sea battle, Kul Tiras also suffered considerable losses in this fierce battle.

When the new ships were allocated after the war, under the persuasion of Sarren's incorruptible tongue, Dalin sold many new ships to Quel'Thalas, and the speed of recovery of the strength of the Kurtilas navy was bound to be affected somewhat.

Just as control of the waters around Zandalar is in a vacuum, a group of Naga who have emerged from nowhere try to take possession of the seas.

Before departing from the port of Bullarest, Salian had heard about it from the owners and sailors who came and went to the docks.

At that time, Sarjan and Elisandr, Farodis and others used the Tide Stone as a bargaining chip to sign an agreement with the Naga queen Azhara that the Naga would not invade the land again for ten years.

Just over three years after the agreement was signed, Asara kept her promise and didn't let Naga ashore again.

But that's about it.

These Naga, who no longer come ashore, have set their sights back on the ocean, passionately aligning with the water elemental in the depths of the sea, and carving out territory everywhere above the ocean.

Although the Naga are known as amphibians, they are actually more aquatic and cannot leave the water source for a long time even if they go ashore, and the sea is the real home of the Naga.

Long after the Night Elves established the port of Estorant in the Azhara region, Sarjan learned through the complaints of Vandar Deerhelm that their ships had been harassed by Naga attacks at sea for a long time.

However, in the words of the barrage, Seon is not blessed.

Through their fight against Naga, the Night Elves befriend the Hydahya Water Elemental who has taken refuge in the Stormy Bay of Azhara.

Since the Four Elemental Realms were isolated from Azeroth, the Four Elemental Kings were no longer able to travel freely between the Elemental Realm and Azeroth.

Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King, has taken advantage of a loophole.

In the Battle of the Three Hammers more than 200 years ago, the Black Iron Prince Soreson saw that the battle situation was unfavorable and was eager to turn the tables, planning to use the ancient method inherited by the Black Iron Clan to summon the fire element to assist the Black Iron Dwarves in retreating from the enemy.

Ragnaros saw this opportunity and took the opportunity to project his elemental clone into the material world.

The Black Rock Volcano erupted suddenly without warning, and the once resourceful Red Crest Mountains were split in two.

The southern mountains near the Elwyn Forest were not much affected, but the entire northern part of the Red Crest Mountains was transformed by the Blackstone Volcano, home to the Fire Demon King, into scorching canyons and burning plains.

Compared to the fire elemental, the water elemental led by the tide hunter Nepturon was not so lucky.

Including the tide hunter himself, the advanced combat power of the water elemental is trapped in the throat of the abyss of the water elemental realm, and is powerless to help the free water elemental in Azeroth, which has been attacked by the Naga for a long time.

In the absence of high-end combat power, the situation facing the water element in the depths of the sea is not optimistic, and it can only be forced to take a defensive position.

As the saying goes, it's none of your business, hang high.

Since there had been no Naga in the waters near Quel'Thalas, and the High Elves' merchant ships had always only traded near the sea, Sarjan had never paid much attention to maritime safety.

But this situation is only temporary.

As Quel'Thalas's shipbuilding industry grows stronger, sooner or later, the High Elves will start a cross-sea trade mode like Kurtiras, bringing back local specialties from Northrend, the Broken Isles, Kalimdor, and even Pandaria.

However, this matter is not a high priority, and Sarian has no intention of getting involved in this matter before the Quel'Salas Navy has grown in size.

But he never expected that when he went to Kalimdor by boat, he was "lucky" to be attacked by Naga.

According to the captain, the probability of encountering a Naga on this route is not high.

Zandalara's golden fleet was nearly wiped out, but the tiger was still dead.

Normally, even Naga are shunned from the Nazmir swamps in the northern part of the Zendara archipelago and are reluctant to become slaves to the blood god Gohorn.

In the same way, Naga does not go near the waters around the sacred mountain of Zudasa, but often moves in the waters off the Wharton Desert.

The Wharton Desert is located in the northwestern part of the Zendara Islands, a short distance from the Great Vortex.

Most ships would not rashly choose this dangerous route, lest they be forced to be dragged by the currents of the great vortex and be sucked into the vicinity of the great vortex.

The luck of Sarayan and the others was indeed "good", and they encountered a group of Naga passing by in the southern waters of Zandala, which should not have encountered Naga.

Yes, passing by.

The Naga appear to have traveled from the outer circle of the Pandaria Mist Zone, presumably intending to head north to the waters between the Broken Isles and the Zendarar Islands.

The vast majority of Naga have ...... Or the ancestors were all Night Elves who lived on land.

After Sin'ai Sally fell into the sea with Azhara, these Night Elves were transformed by Enzos into ugly Naga who were more adapted to the environment of the sea.

As a result, most Naga are jealous and hateful of the Elven descendants who remain in their original form, and will usually not hesitate to attack any Elven sub-species on a passing ship.

Driven by jealousy, Naga naturally wouldn't let them go, and planned to clean up the lonely ship.

Fighting Naga at sea is very difficult, and these nimble fish tails can easily gouge through the bottom of the ship, making it difficult to guard.

Salian was still standing at the bow of the ship, frowning and observing.

According to preliminary estimates, there were more than 130 Nagas passing by on their way north, and if they were to fight head-on on the deck, Salian was confident that he would send them all to Enzos.

However, the High Elves are terrestrial creatures, and no matter how proficient they are in water, they are not as flexible as Naga when they enter the water, not to mention that Sarean's water nature is relatively average.

"Oni, are you sure you can go into the water and kill these Naga?"

"Hey Hugh~"

Onexia, who had been sitting on the mast and looking out at the scenery, finally jumped down and landed firmly beside Sarren, brushing the long black hair that fell on her shoulders in a variety of ways.

"Yes, yes, but even if I can defeat them, I can't promise to keep the ship."

"Tsk!"

Sarjan smacked his lips unhappily: "In a world like Azeroth, where aquatic races and monsters infest the sea, the wooden bottom of the ship is really not enough, and the major shipyards of Quel'Salas must be urged to break through the research on steel ships as soon as possible." ”

Even if the ship is scuttled by the Naga, Sarean does not have to worry about drowning.

After all, three of the foursome led by him can change their form and fly into the sky when necessary.

But if you can cross the sea more easily, why do you have to fly over by yourself?

Moreover, this ship was specially arranged for Sarean by Dalin, so it was allowed to sink under Naga's attack, and Salian would not be able to explain to Dareen later.

After frowning and thinking about it for a while, Salian turned his head to look at Gianna, whose face was not very good-looking.

"Gianna, how are you doing with your water spells? Can you mimic the water element? ”

Gianna nodded with a gloomy face: "Yes, but I can only mimic three at the same time, which is just a drop in the bucket in this situation." ”

"That's enough."

Sarjan gave a categorical order: "You and Tina go to the bottom cabin together, and each summon a mimic water elemental to plug the hole carved by Naga. ”

"Oni, you and I go into the sea together and give this group of fish tails a show, what is deep-water fried fish."
