Chapter 829 28. Under Pandaria. The Induced Darkness

"It's affecting me...no whispers, no hallucinations...when I kill those hozens with my weapons, I always feel an inexplicable joy, and when I realize it...it's already , it has already appeared..."

Vanessa, who was wrapped in a quilt and sitting by the warm stove, looked pale. She held a glass of green plum wine brewed by Pandaren in her hand. This sweet and sour liquid could dilute the remaining restlessness in her heart, but at this moment Vanessa's condition is very bad, her complexion is haggard, her lips are chapped, and her originally dexterous eyes have become a little dull... It's like a serious illness.

A few children sat beside Vanessa, comforting her non-stop, while Lorewalker Shi Bu, the priest of the Jade Forest Qinglong Temple, observed the strange energy that was torn from Vanessa with a solemn expression, and from time to time Discuss it with a few pandaren monks. Obviously, this thing is definitely not a good thing, and judging from the expressions of these pandaren, they obviously know what it is.

"Drink some wine, don't think about it, it's all over."

Talia looked at her best friend who had just gotten out of the catastrophe distressedly. She stroked Vanessa's hair, trying to make her more sober, while the little ghost Yuna, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, stared wide-eyed. , Staring at Vanessa, this is the task Dornan gave her, as long as the weird energy appears on Vanessa again, Yuna must expel those energies as soon as possible.

In fact, if Yuna hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, Vanessa would have been completely polluted by that weird power long ago.

"Yuna, you said that the ability to influence Vanessa didn't come from the Old Gods?"

Dornan sat beside Yuna, she looked worriedly at Vanessa who was in a bad state, and asked in a low voice:

"I heard you call "Black Goat" just now, did you see the body of that energy?"

"Um!"

The little ghost nodded:

"It's not an ugly big octopus! It's a black goat with horns, very ugly, like a monster made of smoke, with 7 eyes! But it can't speak, and it won't jump out suddenly to scare you..."

Yuna scratched her horns, probably unable to think of a qualified adjective. After more than ten seconds, she tilted her head, poked her little face with her fingers and said:

"And the clone of the black goat is not as flexible as the big octopus. It seems to be dead and can't think. It's like a ghost. It didn't choose Vanessa specially, it might just be Vanessa. Sha is out of luck."

As soon as Yuna finished speaking, the door of the pandaren house in Podong Village was suddenly pushed open, and the joyful little panda Lili walked into the room, with a sapphire bamboo stick on her back, There are Pandaren monks wearing black monk robes and bamboo hats, and several marine soldiers wearing federal uniforms and weapons. Lili introduced to her other friends:

"My Uncle Chen is here, he is here to save us, friends, don't be afraid, Uncle Chen is the most powerful!"

And before Lili finished speaking, Major Harold of the Marine Corps who followed Lao Chen to the Black Ark Fleet in Pandaria saw the young lady Vanessa sitting by the stove, which made Major Harold feel relieved. in one breath.

He walked forward quickly and gave a quick military salute to Miss Vanessa. He whispered:

"Miss Vanessa, as well as Talia and Miss Dornan, I have been ordered to send you all back to the federal land safely, please pack up, we will set off immediately."

The major glanced at the lost Miss Vanessa, and he emphasized his tone:

"The Empire's Armada will soon seal off the sea, miss, we can't delay."

"Wait, Major!"

Dornan sprang from her bunk, and she said to Major Harold:

"We don't need to risk passing through the blocked sea area. I can feel that there is only the last layer of fog left on the surface of Pandaria. As long as the fog completely dissipates, I can send us back to Stormwind City immediately through astral teleportation. So don't be too nervous... To be honest, Vanessa's current state is not suitable for traveling long distances with you."

"Uh...what's the matter, miss?"

Major Harold is an old soldier. He can see Miss Vanessa's bad state at a glance. The veteran couldn't help asking:

"Did you guys get attacked? Or something else?"

"It's Sha!"

A strange voice sounded behind Major Harold, and the veteran turned his head subconsciously, and saw the dignified pandaren priest saying in a language he couldn't understand:

"The ancient evil has infected this poor little girl. Her soul has not yet awakened. She must immediately go to the Qinglong Temple to receive treatment and purification from the priests."

"What is this pandaren talking about?"

The major frowned and looked at Old Chen who came with him. The latter spoke a few words to the priest in the pandaren language, and then translated with a solemn expression:

"What this Elder Shibu means is that some evil things still exist in Vanessa. We have to follow him to a place called "Qinglong Temple", where there is a way to cure Vanessa."

"this..."

The major didn't know how to answer for a moment. To be honest, he didn't trust these pandaren. If possible, he would rather take Miss Vanessa back to the Federation immediately, where she could receive treatment from the priests. Vanessa's Identity is a bit sensitive, if the pandaren here harbor evil intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And just when Major Harold was hesitating, the figure of the blood maid Cordana appeared strangely at the door of the room, and was immediately surrounded by several pandaren monks who sensed the aura of vampires.

But Cordana didn't care, she raised her hand, and threw Anthony Iron Horn, who was tightly bound with chains, on the ground. The captain who was severely beaten is now very miserable, but he is still surrounded by that A strange energy dominates the mind, roaring like a wild beast.

"Follow them! Major."

Surrounded by monks, Cordana shouted to Major Harold:

"The destructive power of these damn things is much more serious than you think. It is like a plague that is infecting other people crazily. Now that Vanessa is brought back to the Federation forcibly, there may be even bigger disturbances." , so if the pandaren here can solve it, we will do what they say, rest assured, Major, we will protect you along the way."

"I will protect you too!"

Lao Chen, who hadn't spoken much, also assured in a deep voice:

"If there is an accident, I will do everything in my power to get the kids out there...I promise!"

After Major Harold got the guarantee from both parties, he looked at Miss Vanessa's state at this time, and finally, he nodded.

He had seen Lao Chen's skill with his own eyes, and he defeated half of the guards in Booty Bay by himself, and the emblem on Cordana's chest represented that she was a high-level agent of the mysterious Dark Blade Intelligence Agency. The story of the story is well-known within the Federation. With the protection of both parties, the safety of the children is guaranteed.

When Lao Chen saw that Harold had made a decision, he turned around and looked at Priest Shibu:

"It's not too late, Elder Shibu, please take us to Qinglong Temple, but before I leave, I have a worry that I must tell you."

Priest Shibu also looked curiously at this compatriot he had never seen before. The priest was sure that neither Lao Chen nor Lili were local pandaren from Pandaria, so he was also quite curious about the origins of these two. Besides, outside of the mist, is there a pandaren multiplying?

Facing Old Chen's question, Lorewalker Shi Bu nodded. The fat pandaren stroked his beard and said:

"Say it."

"To be honest, the identities of these children in the outside world are very sensitive, and now, in the sea off Pandaria, there is a fleet that may target the children. What I am worried about is that once that fleet comes to attack, Qinglong Does the temple guarantee the safety of the children?"

Lao Chen looked at Priest Shibu, and he said frankly:

"Although I am willing to trust my compatriots, I am entrusted by others after all. I must protect the safety of the children, so I must obtain this guarantee before leaving."

"Hahahaha, don't worry, my fellow strangers."

Priest Shibu laughed, and said with a hint of pride:

"Qinglong Temple is one of the supreme gods. The powerful and wise Tianzun Qinglong is in the dojo of the Emerald Forest. As long as those cruel foreigners dare to spread their malice to Qinglong Temple, then the powerful supreme god will definitely teach them a lesson that they will never forget!"

While talking, Priest Shibu set his sights on Vanessa and Captain Anthony who had been completely infected by the Sha Demon. He sighed and said helplessly:

"What's more, in the face of the dark monsters that disappeared in ancient times, but are revived today, only the Supreme God can truly cure the evil infestation..."

"It's not too late, guest, come with me... From Podong Village to Qinglong Temple, there is still a long way to go."

"boom"

A bright flame erupted on the sea surface on the left side of the Armada, representing a battleship being hit head-on by shells. From the telescope, Rear Admiral Taylor could clearly see that the deck of the high elf battleship was on fire. Has lost most of its combat effectiveness.

"The port side of the Morningstar is damaged, the Enterprise moves forward to fill the attack position, and covers the retreat of the Morningstar!"

The major general gave instructions to the communicators around him, and the dwarf in military uniform immediately tick-tocked and sent a telegram warning to the two warships that were targeted. It has been popularized and applied. In such a fierce naval battle, it is finally no longer necessary for the flag bearers to communicate with each other with flag language.

The development of science and technology will always be the first to change the rhythm of war. With the connection of telegraphs in series, Tenred's command of the Armada will become more convenient. This fleet is more like being twisted into a rope. In the hands of an excellent commander, it is as easy as giving orders.

However, the Federation Fleet, which is more technologically advanced than the Empire, also has its own command system, so this is actually not a crushing advantage, and the Federation's advanced engineering system also gives the Federation warships an advantage that the Armada can't match.

"The cannonballs of the federation rookies are really accurate!"

General Tenrad, who had been watching the fierce naval battle on the bridge, put down his binoculars, and Major General Taylor beside him complained helplessly:

"I heard some Federation merchant captains say that Black Ark's battleships have a set of engineering equipment called "fire control". They can make the impact of shells more accurate through repeated calculations... What the hell! I have been fighting for more than 30 years, and this is the first time I heard that naval warfare can be fought like this, it is really crooked!"

"A well-placed cannon isn't much use."

Tandred commented with a smile:

"Warships are not soldiers, even if they are hit by a few shots, they will not lose their combat power immediately. I admit that many new ideas of the Black Ark Fleet of the Federation have inspired me a lot, but naval battles can not only be won with advanced weapons ...the Black Ark commanders and sailors lack experience in real warfare, look, they panicked, they have already lost 9 ships, we only lost 2 airships and 3 frigates, they are doomed!"

Indeed, at this time in the outer seas of Pandaria, the opposing fleets of the two parties have been fighting for 2 hours. During the frantic confrontation, the Black Ark fleet took the lead in losing its formation. This is a very important factor in naval battles in the age of sails. It is sailing against the wind. The problem is that in this field, the skilled sailors of the Armada are several times better than the recruits of the Black Ark.

The Federal Fleet was caught in a headwind situation almost from the beginning of the war. The Armada Fleet, which was sailing against the wind, attacked from all directions with a flexible attitude. Fortunately, the firepower of the Black Ark Fleet was stronger than that of the Armada Fleet, which allowed them to survive until now. , but as Tanrad said, the Black Ark is already at the end of its battle. If General Valentine can't reverse the decline, then the Black Ark's naval battle will be lost.

But soon, Tandred and Taylor both discovered some weird situations in the Black Ark Fleet.

"Taylor, am I dazzled? The Black Ark's fleet is gathering formation? What's going on? Are they crazy?"

Tenred frowned and looked at the sea full of gunpowder smoke with a telescope. Major General Taylor was also watching his opponent. After a while, the major general replied:

"You read that right, Admiral, they are indeed closing in... wait! They are abandoning the ship! Those sailors are jumping into the sea like crazy! What happened?"

In the field of vision of the telescope, the two generals clearly saw that the rear warships of the Black Ark Fleet were leaving the battlefield at the fastest speed, as if they were fleeing. Sailors danced and jumped into the sea from the deck, and there were also fires on the decks of several battleships that were inexplicably ignited, as if they had encountered a rebellion.

"They're running away!"

Tyler spun the binoculars, and he saw the edge of the flagship of the Black Ark Fleet. Some Federations in commander uniforms were jumping off the deck and gathering on the lifeboats.

"They ran away, these cowards...wait! Why do their sailors seem to be killing each other?"

The major general pointed the binoculars at the warships that were out of control. He saw the crazy federal sailors on the deck of the battleships. He looked back at his commander in doubt. Tanred also put down the binoculars at this moment, and he frowned deeply. Frowning, after a while, he turned to look at Taylor:

"Let every captain of the fleet report the situation immediately!"

"If the Black Ark fleet encounters some unexpected special circumstances and needs to jump into the sea to escape, it means that we may... also be in trouble."
