Chapter 417: Endless Sea

At this time when little Annie just finished messing up on the front line of Tarren Mill in the Hillsbrad Hills, and she was a little ashamed and angry, she was teleporting and running in the direction of the western wilderness in the south, in the maelstrom of the endless sea In the nearby northeast region, the terrible man-made storm has gradually subsided...

At this time, the battleships of the Seventh Fleet of the Kul Tiras Navy were lining up in a long column, with only half of their sails up, and sailed wearily to the northwest corner of Dark Moon Island, intending to advance ahead of schedule. The fleet that left the team will reunite with them, and then go to the Whispering Bay in the northern Tirisfal Glades of Lordaeron to repair.

After several hours of chasing battles in the storm zone, the battleships of the Seventh Fleet are now mostly damaged. If the sails are blown, it is still a trivial matter, as long as it is directly repaired or replaced with a spare one. That's it. But if a certain mast was blown off, it would be a bit troublesome... For the time being, the entire fleet can only lower the sails and carry it forward until the other party repairs the broken mast.

This is also due to the fact that their Kul Tiras navy generally has three masts, and if you count the bow and stern sails, there will be more. And if it was replaced by the rough battleship of the orcs with only one or two masts, maybe they would really be stuck in the churning area of ​​the maelstrom and ocean currents and couldn't get out!

"What's the matter, the statistics of the casualties of each ship have come out?"

Standing at the bow of the boat a little tiredly, Daelin Proudmoore leaned on the railing with his hands like that, silently watching the strange weather that suddenly became clear again after the storm subsided, and he just let the clouds in the sky The scorching sun gradually dried the general's uniform soaked in seawater on his body, turned around, and looked at his first officer and the pieces of parchment in his hand with a little calm expression.

Of course he knew what it was, and what the other party would read later must be sad numbers that he dared not imagine.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Admiral!"

"In this battle to chase the orc fleet, except for the fleet that left the fleet early, there is no way to count the casualties. We have lost a total of three warships this time. They have already disappeared in the storm... In addition , eight people were killed on each ship, and 36 people were injured, two of whom were seriously injured. Dylan."

After reading this, the first mate didn't read any more. This is indeed a sad number, even if they won a great victory. After all, if you fight a war, whether it's on the land or in the sea, you will die. The kind of battle that defeats the enemy with zero casualties only exists in fairy tales.

Therefore, he, the admiral, and even all the members of the fleet knew that those who disappeared in the storm either couldn't bear the storm and sank directly; or they were entangled by orc ships and dragged together In the maelstrom... No matter what the situation is, there is absolutely no reason for luck!

Therefore, it is certain that the naval officers and soldiers on the three missing ships can now be directly included in the list of the dead.

"Ah……"

"Jason... You see, this is the cruelty of war! Since the opening of the Dark Portal and the orc invasion of our world, the navy of Kul Tiras has experienced countless difficult battles...Who are we? I don't know who will die next time...Maybe it's you...Maybe it's me...But, what I'm sure of is: the reason why we have been fighting and sacrificing all these years is actually all It's the fault of those filthy beasts!"

"From the moment they invaded our world, whether it was the first or second war, or the undead natural disaster caused by the Burning Legion and the Lich King Ner'zhul, all of these are inseparable from the orcs! So, this is It is the fundamental reason why I, Daelin Proudmoore, determined to destroy the Horde!"

"..."

"The resources of the world of Azeroth are limited,

The land is also limited... However, if the new orc tribes want to survive, they must occupy the living space of other races. This is an unchangeable fact! Even if the negotiations have achieved peace now and there is no fight now, in the future, when their population expands, they will definitely fight..."

"So, apart from the superficial hatred, what I want to do most is: never leave these cruel things to our children and grandchildren. Since we have experienced so much and sacrificed so much, it is better to just Let us old fellows continue to work hard and strive to solve everything perfectly...but why...why do people always fail to understand us?"

As if remembering something, Admiral Dai Lin's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and finally he sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it!"

"Now go and count the list of the dead. When we return to Kul Tiras next time, we must send double the pension to their families... All we can do is That's all, let's go..."

Thinking back, the Kul Tiras navy had several powerful fleets. After the first, second, and third wars, until now, only their seventh fleet was left. Dozens of warships, big and small... Moreover, his fleet is still not full, and three more ships were lost today...

So, in fact, Daelin Proudmoore has actually seen it: In the future, the Sea Kingdom of Kul Tiras will inevitably decline... Just like the once glorious Kingdom of Lordaeron and Quel'Sa It's the same as the high elf kingdom of Lars, but he doesn't regret it, and he never regrets it!

Some things always need to be done by someone! If not, then he, Dai Lin, will do it...

"..."

Daelin Proudmoore's first mate, Jason, just nodded silently after listening to the general's words. However, he did not leave in a hurry, but looked at the general who was looking sad. Your Excellency.

Some things, he didn't know whether he should say it at this time, but he didn't say no, because that matter was very important, and what to do with the specific requirements had to be decided by the admiral!

"What else is there for you? Guess it's not a good thing, right?"

"Say it, Jason, you don't have to worry about anything... Don't worry! Although I am a bit old, my heart is still strong, and nothing can break me!"

At least...not above the sea!

Bathed in the warm sunshine after the victory and the warm sea breeze, Daelin Proudmoore turned around and continued to support the guardrail of the bow, and began to take a break from his busy schedule, wanting to enjoy a peaceful journey. You know, when their Seventh Fleet returned to Lordaeron, they could only simply rest up for a few days at most, and then went to trouble the Stormwind Alliance again.

At that time, it will be another troublesome and sad story to tell...

"..."

"It's like this. The captain of one of our ships disregarded the prohibition and danger, and while chasing in the storm zone, he salvaged three orc captives without authorization..."

Speaking of which, the first mate Jason couldn't help tightening the other report he held in his hand.

He had already read the content of this report in advance, but he didn't know how to say it. This matter may be too cruel for Your Excellency the Admiral.

Although Jason himself didn't want to believe that this was true, but based on the previous signs and the storm area arranged by the orcs in advance, he had enough reasons to believe in the authenticity of this report.

"Oh? Those bastards even caught three beasts without authorization?"

"Forget it, since we have achieved a great victory, let's not punish the captain! Let them hang the three beasts directly on the mast, we don't need any prisoners! Then, we will punish them... after arriving in Luo Dan Lun was not allowed to dismantle the corpse before?"

Daelin Proudmoore was still surprised that such a bold guy dared to disregard orders to salvage orc captives in a dangerous storm! But, anyway, they have already won now, so he is not willing to pursue too much about it.

"..."

"But...Your Excellency, Admiral! I'm afraid those orcs can't be killed..."

"According to their confession...the reason why those orc tribes arranged to ambush us in the storm zone in advance was because our sailing route was betrayed to the tribe's great chief Thrall! If it wasn't for the Naga lady who happened to be ordered to come here If you accept our words, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

With a sullen face, after thinking for a while, the first officer still said these contents in a precise manner.

"Really... who betrayed us..."

A hoarse and bitter voice emerged from the admiral's throat, and at the same time, his hands were tightly pinching the guardrail, making his knuckles a little white...

With his back turned to the first officer, Dai Lin, he didn't want the other party to see his painful and distorted expression.

He himself is not stupid, and he also knows that there are only a few people who know their specific routes, but they are all in his fleet, and there is no possibility of tipping off! And the only one who is not in the fleet and can inform the great chief of those beasts... In fact, Daelin himself can already imagine it.

It's just that he doesn't want to think about it, let alone believe it.

"According to the confession of the orc general...the one who betrayed us is..."

"Yes... yes... Jaina? Miss Proudmoore..."

After stumbling out the name, the first officer also let out a long sigh, stepped forward two steps, and handed the original record of the statement in his hand to Admiral Dai Lin.

Although they have always called Daelin Proudmoore the Admiral...but the other party is indeed the supreme ruler of their kingdom of Kul Tiras! Although the other party does not have the title of king, the monarch itself means the king, but the name is different.

And now, their king, their admiral, after two sons died one after another, the only remaining daughter, the only princess of the kingdom, even betrayed the king's father... It can be seen that this The blow to Admiral Dai Lin is obvious.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the first officer felt very embarrassed before. He who had sworn to be loyal to the general forever, of course he can empathize with this cruel human tragedy... Their most respected and selfless general , fought and fought bloody battles for the survival of human beings in the world of Azeroth for so many years...but in the end, is this really the reward?

"..."

After lowering his head and slowly reading through all the contents of the parchment report word for word, Dai Lin suddenly took a deep breath trembling, and clenched the paper so tightly that he was almost panting. Airless paper.

"Jason... go... order: kill the three orcs immediately, and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish..."

"At the same time, I ordered everyone who knew about this matter to remain silent... Before the truth of the matter is investigated, I don't want to hear anyone talking about this matter! You... understand?"

After a long time, Dai Lin finally expressed his decision.

Then, he was clutching the parchment tightly in his hand like that, those black nails that had not been repaired for a long time due to the long voyage, had pierced the skin and almost fell into the flesh of the palm of his hand... The blood began to soak The parchment slipped drop by drop onto the surface of the blue sea, and tiny blood flowers appeared...

"Obey! Your Excellency, General!"

His first mate, Jason, could tell that the general's tone was cold and sad at this time... So, he didn't say anything more, just nodded and answered softly, then turned and left. He felt that at this time, it might be better for the admiral to stay alone for a while...

"My Jaina... the one who doesn't understand... is you..."

After muttering and calling out the familiar name in pain, Daelin Proudmoore could only release his right hand holding the parchment report slightly tremblingly, letting the blood-stained report slip into the sea, and soon It was swept into the bottom of the ship by the waves that broke away when the ship was moving, and disappeared completely.

Why doesn't she understand?

There will be no peace if there is no blood-stained land...
