Chapter 413: Desperate Pursuit

boom! boom! boom!

There was a burst of gunfire, and a hot, solid shell rushed out of the muzzle of each gun, and then blasted towards the enemy's ship, making holes in the opponent's ship in an instant, or plowing out a path in the crowd. The traces of flesh and blood, let those stumps and blood directly spread all over the enemy's ship

"Stop attacking!!"

At this time, at the end of the orc fleet, the vanguard ships of the Seventh Fleet had already caught up with the enemy first, and started the first round of bombardment!

Then, the orc troop carrier that was unlucky at the end, before it could be mentioned, was blown away by a shell, and hundreds of orcs, trolls, tauren or wild boars, etc. on board were scattered. Neng screamed, and the sinking wooden boat capsized and fell into the icy sea water.

"Hmph! Don't worry about them, don't waste time!"

"Continue full pursuit and prepare to attack the next ship! The beasts below, let them soak in the water! There are no lands or islands nearby, and no other ships will pass by. There is only a maelstrom , so, they are actually dead!"

When I saw that some sailors on my ship who had nothing to do took out their muskets and were queuing up to slow down the ship to shoot those who fell on the sea and were struggling to swim or struggling with pieces of broken logs. Daelin, the admiral, severely reprimanded the Horde soldiers.

For these ugly beasts that are already mortal, there is no need to waste their precious ammunition! He believed that the ruthless sea would naturally make them despair and devour their miserable lives bit by bit, which would relieve him more than ending their ugly lives with muskets!

"obey, obey"

Seeing that the admiral started to lose his temper, the soldiers could only casually point the bullets in their muskets at the enemy flopping on the sea and shoot a round, leaving red splashes of blood on the opponent, They put away the ammunition and put away the musket weapons that had become safe, then turned their heads and went to work on their own affairs.

They knew that what Admiral Dai Lin said was right, the beasts of those tribes would definitely not be able to survive, but they, who had a deep hatred against the orcs, couldn't help but want to experience the feeling of shooting their enemies with muskets for themselves. That kind of hearty revenge pleasure.

"Quick! Fasten those things and use what you can!"

"And you guys, throw away all those buckets of water, we have two mages on board, as long as the water-making technique can keep us alive! Throw away all those heavy things!"

at this time,

The orcs of some tribes are calling for the coolies of various tribes to be busy on the ship.

And on this huge battleship with fangs and horns in the tribe's rough painting style, in addition to the sails painted with the tribe's flag pattern being pulled up, the simple orcs even hung up their clothes one by one. They hung it everywhere they could, whether it was the cables, the side of the ship, or the sides of the mainsail, so that they could fully absorb the strength of the north wind and make their boat a little faster.

""

Here, at the forefront of the Horde fleet, on the leading flagship, Great Chief Thrall is standing at the bow, looking a bit lonely looking at the rear of his fleet, where he can vaguely see the enemy's The fleet seems to have bitten the last ship in their ranks.

Presumably by now, many warriors of the tribe have already died in the sea, right? And the reason why such a sad thing happened is all his fault, Sal, he shouldn't

well

"Chief! Now the enemy has caught up. They sank the two troop carriers behind us, and hundreds of tribal warriors are gone! Now, they have entered the storm zone with us, Just give your order!"

Of course King Saurfang also heard the gunfire from the rear of the fleet. When he heard the report from the watchman on the mast that his tribe had been sunk by two troop-carrying warships, he couldn't sit still anymore! Therefore, he immediately walked to the side of Great Chief Thrall, waiting for the last order from the other party.

"You are right, Saurfang"

"Now go and tell those shamans, let them start the ceremony! Also, tell the other captains of our ship to pay attention: when the storm starts, no matter what happens, it must not be reduced. And you can't change the course casually, you must follow us closely! Only by following us can you have a chance to rush out!"

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

After reluctantly finishing the conversation with Saurfang, Thrall was in a depressed mood, and he no longer cared about Saurfang who left while patting his chest and saluting, let alone looking at the distance behind him, those sailboats were orderly and murderous Instead, he sighed and walked straight to the ramming corner of the bow to stand still before the Seventh Fleet ship that swooped towards their tribal fleet.

This time, after the storm starts and becomes violent, Thrall will use all his strength to communicate with the currents and storms of the sea, and try his best to bring out as many Horde ships as possible! In any case, they cannot be surrounded by the enemy here. He must lead the warriors of the tribe to escape from the storm zone and the dangerous vortex, and escape from the pursuit of the Seventh Fleet!

However, in the end, how many ships and how many warriors of the tribe can survive, he can't guarantee that it will be a terrible number that he will never dare to imagine.

Woo! Woo!

Soon, as Saurfang ran to give the order himself, the entire orc fleet began to sound distant horns, and they were blowing this battle-like horn to communicate among the fleet. Deliver Warchief Thrall's final orders.

"This is kind of weird"

Following behind the Horde fleet, Daelin, who was gradually chasing the enemy, looked at the orc fleet in the distance with some doubts. He found that their sailing direction was very strange. It seemed that they were not cutting along the edge of the whirlpool to a safer place, but heading in the direction of death a little further inside? !

If you sail like this, with the current wind, you will definitely not be able to go anywhere fast! Then, a few hours later, they will be blown directly into the bottom of the sea by the relentless maelstrom to become a delicacy for fish! Therefore, Dai Lin was very puzzled, did the other party not understand navigation at all, or did he have other goals?

Anyway, he is very puzzled now, and always feels that the behavior of those orcs is strange!

After hesitating for a while, he stood at the chasing height of the bow, stepped on the guardrail, and was concentrating on observing the enemy's formation, as well as Admiral Dai Lin who silently listened to the faint sound of horns coming from the other side and analyzed. Why, I suddenly felt something was wrong! However, he just couldn't figure out where the problem was.

"Report! Your Excellency, General, we have noticed a sudden change in the wind, please take a look!"

Just when Dai Lin was puzzled by the behavior of the orc fleet, and didn't know what went wrong, a fleet officer who was in charge of observing the wind direction quickly ran to his side, holding a small exquisite measuring instrument Fengyi reported to him loudly.

Weather or sea conditions, even wind, etc., are particularly important factors in this Azeroth world where ships and navigation technology are backward! In a regular fleet like the Seventh Fleet, each ship is equipped with one or two professional observers who are responsible for observing data such as sea conditions and weather. After all, this is related to the entire ship or the entire fleet. The safety of ships and officers and soldiers must not be sloppy at all!

"How could there be a change in this sunny weather? No"

Click and boom! !

Dai Lin originally thought it was a false alarm or something, because they made an assessment before. The weather near this sea area today is very clear, and the north wind is three to four, so it is impossible for there to be a big change!

But who would have thought that before he finished his words, a thunderbolt exploded from the blue sky!

Afterwards, dark clouds rolled over the sky in an instant, and the north wind that was already there became bigger and more violent! Then, among the tumbling dark clouds, lightning bolts appeared one after another, and struck straight towards the sea!

Fortunately, this seems to be just ordinary cloud lightning, and it is not aimed at any party.

"What the hell is going on, why is there such an outrageous change in the weather?!"

Across the sea for countless years, Dai Lin has seen a lot of changeable sea conditions and complicated weather conditions! As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things in the sky, this is very normal! However, in the current situation like this, there was no sign at all beforehand, and the weather directly changed from the clear sky to the appearance on the eve of the storm. Isn't this a little too weird? !

Although he still didn't know why it became like this, Dai Lin knew that this situation must be abnormal!

"Report to Your Excellency the Admiral!"

"The wind is still increasing. At present, the north wind is close to force ten, and the waves are as high as eight feet. We are now in the storm zone, and the heavy rain is about to hit. I suggest that you, the admiral, order to turn immediately and drive to the eastern sea for emergency evasion. !"

Soon, another naval officer who detected the sea conditions and was in charge of navigation ran over quickly.

They just estimated the wind, and then came to a very dangerous conclusion: if the north wind continues to gradually strengthen, if they don't run, it is very likely that they will be directly hit by the sudden storm a few hours later. Blow into the big vortex ahead!

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

"If I'm not wrong, this storm should have been created by those orc shamans? When I found them before, they had been holding some kind of strange ceremony for several days. Now, from the direction of the wind Come on, presumably they originally planned to blow you directly into the maelstrom?"

"Also, take a look around the Great Whirlpool. The vortex ocean current here has become more turbulent, and the waves have become more violent. Even the fierce north wind has become a bit unusual. Even if It's us Naga, it will be very dangerous if we stay on the surface of the sea! So, Your Excellency, you can make a decision early now."

At this time, the female Naga, who had been staying on the ship and enjoyed free sailing for several days, also followed suit. As a marine creature, they certainly know what this weather means.

If they, the Seventh Fleet of the Navy, do not quickly evade the turn, the next step will be very dangerous. If they are not careful, it is normal for the entire army to be wiped out.

"Sir! I also think we'd better change our course immediately, before the storm becomes bigger and we are still far away from the maelstrom, and rush out of the storm area from the southeast with the wind!"

"Those orcs have gone crazy and are still rushing towards the direction of the maelstrom, just let them go by themselves"

Seeing the change in the situation, the first officer of the flagship who had been silently following Dai Lin also had to speak cryptically, and suggested that Dai Lin stop chasing those orcs, lest the gain outweigh the loss.

"Of course I know! But"

"Look at what those orcs are doing now, they seem to be still adding? I don't think those beasts would be so crazy! They must have some purpose to do this!"

The sea conditions had changed. Although he was unwilling to do so, Daelin still didn't rush to order to turn around. Instead, he looked at the tribal ship in the distance, which continued to take advantage of the storm and tried its best not to die.

The direction of the other party's navigation has always been very strange, as if he intends to cut directly into the maelstrom in the dangerous area? Are they really stupid, or are ignorant people fearless?

"No, I think I finally understand that they are actually trying to run away! Ha, interesting! So that's how it looks, I really underestimated them!"

"Everyone! I think, I finally know their purpose: they want to use the power of the storm to boost the ship. As long as the speed is enough, they can run out of this dangerous area, directly out of the control of the ocean current of the whirlpool, and escape us directly." hunt!"

"Look at the map!"

Finally, a flash of light flashed in Daelin's mind, and he immediately understood the orc's crazy idea. Then, he led everyone to the chart nailed on the wooden table, and soon, he marked the current position and course of the orc fleet. The other party, wanting to take advantage of the storm, Dash straight through the red danger zone and get out straight away!

You know, their Kul Tiras navy usually only dares to use the vortex ocean currents in the green area of ​​the maelstrom marked on the map. For large naval ships like theirs, entering the yellow area means danger, but With the current favorable wind direction, it can be regarded as safe to enter and exit, but if it is a red area, they will definitely not dare to approach it!

"So, we can't just run away like this. We have at least two or three hours to hunt them down and reach this sea area! At that time, we will turn due east again, and the strong north wind will allow us to leave safely!"

"Everyone, let's start the signal: all ships are fully sailed, and all efforts are made!"

"Even those wild beasts dare to do things, why don't we Kul Tirans dare? Let's catch up quickly, take advantage of the north wind to cut towards the edge of the great vortex, and then bombard 'Em! Sink 'em!"

After finally understanding the reason for the orc's strange way of lightening the burden and rushing towards the maelstrom, Dai Lin laughed out loud!

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

"Hmph! We must teach those stupid orcs a good lesson. We must let them know: the fearless sailing spirit and high sailing skills of the Kul Tirans are something they will never be able to match!"

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

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

"Subordinates understand"

"But your Excellency, Admiral! Nearly a quarter of our ships are not in good condition. Under such extreme weather and bad sea conditions, I am worried that they will not be able to complete the high-load pursuit mission."

Although the chief mate understood Dai Lin's thoughts and purpose, he was still a little worried. Because those ships that had some problems before, and because they needed to go around behind the enemy without having time to repair them, they were likely to have problems on the way.

If that's the case, if they are accidentally blown into the maelstrom, it will really be over!

"No problem!"

"Proceed with the order: Let the ships in bad condition turn to the southeast in their own formation, and let them go to the northwest corner of Darkmoon Island to wait for us first! After we send those orcs into the sea to feed the fish, go and join them!"

After Dai Lin looked at the orc fleet that he had seen through the tricks in the distance, he gave the order with a sneer.

If the orcs were just messing around, then he might really dare not accompany them to die. But now, since he knew the real purpose of the other party, what did he have to worry about? Competing in the technology of sailing and the performance of ships, they are Kul Tirans, who is he afraid of, General Dai Lin Daijun? !

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

"Yes! As ordered!"

Now that the matter has been clarified, the first officer has no reason to refuse or disobey the order. It's like what the general said, even the orcs dare to fight, why don't the Kul Tirans dare?

""

"Admiral Daelin, our mission has been completed, it's getting late now, and it's time for us to say goodbye. If you can go back alive, we will be waiting for you in the Whispering Bay of Lordaeron!"

"The maelstrom is very dangerous, I wish you good luck!"

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

If it was going directly back to Lordaeron, she would be happy to have a free boat to board, but if it was going to the maelstrom, then I'm sorry, they won't accompany her.

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

Now, Dai Lin was actually a bit lucky, if it hadn't happened to meet the naga sent by Queen Kalia to pick him up, once they continued sailing according to the original stupid route, they would wait until they reached the trap in the storm area prepared by the orcs After that, he couldn't even imagine the terrible end!

"See you later, hope to see you again"

After finishing speaking, Naga and those murloc men walked directly to the edge of the boat, and then plunged into the sea water one after another with a few plop plops, and soon disappeared completely. It can't be blamed on them for being cowardly. After all, the following chase battle is not a joke. If they are blown into the maelstrom, it will be very life-threatening for the Naga and the murlocs.

Therefore, while still far from the maelstrom, the best choice is to go directly to the sea, go below the surface of the sea, find a way to catch a few turtles or seahorses, and slowly swim back to Lordaeron.

As for the storm or something, it will not affect them at all under the seabed.

""

"Order: Head to the south, five degrees to the right, and we will all advance! Left and right artillery is ready to fire. As long as you find any enemy ships that come into range, you don't need to wait for orders, you can fire directly!"

After seeing the female Naga and the murlocs jumping into the sea one by one and disappearing quickly, Dai Lin turned his head and ordered to the first officer.

Today, those orcs, don't try to escape his grasp easily!

Even if they can't completely annihilate each other, they will try their best to sink as many ships as they can. They must teach those beasts an unforgettable lesson, so that they will be terrified when they see the warships of the Kul Tiras Navy!

"Obey, Your Excellency the Admiral!"

As the chief officer went to give orders again, soon, except for a dozen or twenty ships that were in poor condition, 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 behind Dai Lin's Admiral flagship, directly with full sails, and fiercely rushed towards the large orc fleet in the distance!

"Hmph! Orcs, you will definitely remember this day forever!"

Looking at the slightly chaotic orc fleet ahead, Daelin put away his binoculars with a sneer. According to their current speed, it only takes half an hour for their front team to catch up with them, and then they will use naval guns to turn those ridiculously rough wooden broken ships into logs!

As for the storm?

snort! They Kul Tirans have never been afraid of storms, so let the strong winds be more fierce! Only in this way can we witness their upcoming glorious victory!
