Chapter 253: A Night Battle Across Era
Orgrim's speech is simple and violent.
Needless to say, someone will naturally describe the richness of the northern continent.
He only needs to tell his people where the enemy is, and his compatriots who have become extremely violent because of drinking the blood of the devil will swarm to kill them.
Unlike most orcs, Orgrim appeared extremely calm and sober.
Not only did he study the map carefully, he confirmed the situation of the sea area near here, after leaving Stormwind City, he also began to learn the common language of mankind. Orgrim specially kept a family captive, and using their relatives as a threat, forced an old woman to teach him the common language.
From pointing to the simplest object, such as a stone, Orgrim compared the pronunciation, confirming his translation results one by one.
This is boring and not understood by most orcs.
But this time when he crossed the sea, Orgrim produced corresponding results.
He saw the route of the transport fleet on a captured military map.
It is very clear about the power of those huge sea battleships of human beings. That kind of rumbling bombardment can easily blow up more than ten orcs at the same time.
The orcs had no power to fight back at sea.
Therefore, the route Orgrim chose is to start from the Palatine Bay opposite the wetland, head northeast, reach the shallow sea area with quite a lot of underwater reefs, and then follow the sea from Stromgarde to Dangarlock, all the way Go north, to the eastern beach next to the town of Southshore.
In this way, the large forces can escape the most powerful sea fleet of mankind.
Orgrim considered murlocs and naga serving the humans, but he felt they were too few in number to pose a threat to the Horde.
He didn't plan to land large troops on the eastern beach, because the mountains there were relatively steep, and the entire beach was covered by human bows and ballistas. Landing there, even a victory would be a miserable victory.
The west coast of Southshore is different. There are more rocks on the coast, which is convenient for concealment and cover.
There are too few guys with brains in the tribe. Orgrim could only personally calculate the departure and arrival times.
His calculations were very precise. If there were no accidents on the way, it would be late at night when the first transport ships arrived.
After the decoy fleet, the landing time of the main force will be around 4:30 in the morning. As long as the main force can successfully land. It will be early morning when the tribe's large troops arrive at South Sea Town.
The warriors of the Horde will have all day to deal with the humans. Orgrim believed that with the unparalleled physical strength and endurance of the orcs, even if the weaker humans could defend for a while with fortifications, they would be worn down and destroyed after a few hours.
Orgrim believed so firmly.
In fact, on the Alliance side, Admiral Dai Lin, who has already taken the fleet to sea, heard the time when the Horde passed the sniper position, and the admiral rarely slapped the table and scolded his mother: "Wouldn't this put our entire fleet at sea?" Be a mascot!?"
Looking at the pitch-black sea in the distance through the binoculars, Daelin felt restless.
"The leader of the orcs is obviously not a reckless man who can only charge. You have met your opponent, Daelin." The one who spoke was a beautiful woman with long golden hair and long pointed ears, standing beside Daelin. This is a position closer to Dai Lin than the royal guards, all of the above shows that this elf mage has a special status.
Indeed, the mage of the High Elves was named Gina Goldsword, lover of King Daelin. This is an almost open secret.
"Any news?"
"Yes, the little Duke you are optimistic about summoned, and he said 'the plan remains unchanged'."
Dai Lin suddenly calmed down. He was absolutely sure that Duke must have special means to change this situation.
In this era, unless the ships sailed within a hundred meters of each other, there was no such thing as a night battle. Since Duke looked at the night and told him that the plan would not change, it was better to wait for that opportunity.
It was late at night, the moon was shrouded in dark clouds, and looking out on the dark sea was a very boring thing. Quite a few new lookouts will fall asleep in this situation.
But no one sleeps tonight, and all sailors are told to fight an unprecedented night battle. This determines that the mighty Kul Tiras fleet will either gain nothing in this great battle and be completely sidelined, or it will be promoted to become the hunter of the night.
The huge fleet is arranged in a single column along the direction parallel to the distant coastline. This is the best option for maximizing the fleet's firepower against opponents who are unable to resist.
The helmsman stared at the stern lights of friendly ships not far ahead, carefully maintaining the distance and array.
In the darkness in the distance, the first reflection appeared.
This quickly attracted the attention of the watchman and Admiral Daelin, and immediately, more blurred spots of light appeared in the darkness.
Like a rising firework, the milky white ball of light floated up to the sky.
After just a dozen seconds, more and brighter lights lit up on the sea surface, illuminating a large offshore area near the coast as if it were daytime.
"[Light Art]? Why is it there?" Daelin is not a mage, so he is not too sure.
The high elf female mage Gina smiled: "If a human or high elf mage apprentice did this kind of failed magic, he would definitely be severely punished by the instructor, but for the murlocs, this is not bad."
murlocs! ?
It turned out to be the mage of the murlocs?
As Dai Lin, who spent a long time at sea and dealt with murlocs, naga, and various marine monsters for half his life, of course he knew that there was also a branch of murlocs, the wise murlocs. It's just that those ridiculous murloc wisemen are the worst spellcasters. The [Frost Arrows] they shoot can only make ice less than a finger's width form in a palm-sized area. It disperses as soon as it is shot, and unless it hits a vital point, there is no lethality at all.
Dai Lin never thought that these murloc wise men who could only cast 1st-level magic at most could use it in this way.
right! They are weak scum.
But after serving as lighthouses, they are god-level teammates!
Seeing through the telescope, the orc transport ship in the area covered by the light is exactly the kind of target ship covered with iron skin. Daelin shouted excitedly: "Open the guns! Fire! Fire——"
After 2 minutes, the Kul Tiras fleet, which had already been ready, let out a continuous roar.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The so-called salvo is just that all the artillery from the bow to the stern fires with extremely short intervals. If the guns are fired at the same time, the terrifying recoil will destroy the entire deck and even the entire battleship.
Even if the shells didn't arrive at the same time, the momentum was terrifying.
The heavy rain of iron bullets streaked across the pitch-black sky, with a unique scream symbolizing the coming of death, and fell into the tribe's transport fleet.
