Chapter 830 29. Under Pandaria. The Disaster of Sha
"puff"
General Valentine held the rose thorn sword in his hand. As he turned his wrist, the eyes in front of him were blurred, and his whole body was wrapped in a strange gray-black mist. The crazy sailor was pierced through the chest, but he didn't fall down immediately. But it still looks like a berserk warrior, waving hands like ghost claws covered with disgusting energy, roaring violently.
The condition of the sailor in front of him is obviously dominated by some kind of dark power, and that power has begun to change his body from the inside, the abnormally stretched muscles, the distorted face, and the The disgusting and corrupt gas, pale and black mixed with strange bubbles, made him look like a monster crawling out of a terrifying abyss.
"It's so difficult!"
A cold light flashed in General Valentine's blood-red eyes. The stabbing sword in his hand stabbed forward, and the other hand quickly gathered into the blood claws of the vampire, tearing open the chest of the monster in front of him with one claw, and tearing the wounded black After the energy heart was shattered, the terrifying monster finally fell powerlessly onto the deck.
"Scatter them!"
The general flicked the blood stains on his fingers in disgust. As soon as he gave an order, several death guards who followed the general brandished their weapons and slashed and killed the crazy sailors without hesitation, trying to save the general and the only one left. The few commanders under him who were still clear in their will opened up an escape route, and the whole deck was full of dead bodies, and the bloody smell mixed with gunpowder smoke was simply disgusting.
The flagship "Blood Eagle" of the Black Ark Fleet has now become a chaotic and terrible battlefield. Not to mention insisting on fighting the Armada, this ship, and even the entire fleet, can't even protect themselves now.
That damned weird energy that suddenly appeared and spread wildly among the sailors like a plague has manipulated the minds of most people, making them wave their weapons crazily, lose their minds like wild beasts, and vent their crazy emotions on themselves No doubt they were attacked, but not by the Armada, but by an unseen black hand.
"boom"
Valentine looked back at his beloved ship for the last time. A trace of pain flashed in the blood general's eyes, but he turned around and jumped off the deck without much hesitation, onto the lifeboat on the water. He picked up a Take an oar, and say to your companions in the boat:
"Come on, get out of this sea of devils as fast as you can, they are hopeless...don't trap us too."
"General, what kind of monster is that?"
A dwarf engineering technician who was obviously frightened huddled on the lifeboat tremblingly, looking back at the frantic warship and deck from time to time in fear, he couldn't help asking:
"Is that a disease, or a curse?"
"I have no idea!"
Valentine's mood was a little low. The crew of the Black Ark fleet seemed to lose control in an instant. When Valentine received the news, the weird loss of control and chaos could no longer be controlled. It was like Like the plague, the infection spread wantonly among the crowd, but all sailors infected by that black-gray energy would lose their minds and be infected by mania and confusion.
It's like a spark thrown into an oil drum, which will burst into flames that will burn everything in an instant. Coupled with the continuous oppression of the Armada, more and more sailors will be defeated and will be defeated by that strange force that spreads. Corrupting the mind is like rolling snowflakes. In just a few tens of minutes, the order of the dozen or so battleships of the Black Ark was completely destroyed.
The blood general shook his head, looking at the turbid sea with ship debris floating around him, he said:
"There are many legends in this sea area. Maybe the devil mist described in those legends is true, maybe there is really a manipulative devil sealed in these dissipating mist... No one knows."
"I hope those brothers who escaped from this sea can send this news back to the Federation... we can no longer send people to die."
The blood general gritted his teeth, looked at the artillery fire on the battlefield that had begun to stop, and said softly:
"In this sea area, under this continent, what is hidden is not hope..."
"However, it's not without good news!"
The slightly embarrassed blood general squinted his eyes, and he looked at the Empire Armada, which had gained the upper hand in the naval battle before. In the blood clan's excellent vision, he could see that some warships of the Armada seemed to be showing signs of chaos. This made the blood general say with a hint of pleasure:
"The devil in the mist destroyed us, and it will not let go of those stupid and arrogant imperials...their armada is over!"
—————————————————
"Let all the ships behind withdraw!"
At this time, Tenrad was no longer as calm as before. While kicking the crazy sailor in front of him, he shouted to Major General Taylor behind him:
"Don't let them go forward! Let them go back! Exit this sea as quickly as possible!"
"good!"
The major general swung the hammer in his hand, and knocked down the Sharan soldiers blocking the way with one hammer, but at the moment when he was about to rush into the bridge, there was a terrifying loud noise accompanied by the strong vibration of the Jackdaw, and he was caught off guard. The major general flew out and smashed hard on the blood-stained deck.
"tear up"
Tandred raised his head amidst the strong vibration, and he saw the bow of the battleship "Fury", which was originally guarding the left side of the Jackdaw, slammed into the Jackdaw obliquely in a collision posture. On the side of the ship, the prow figure shaped like a griffin flew out in the impact, crushing a few unlucky sailors into a pulp, and what was even more frightening was that the two moving warships These "friction" gestures interacted with each other, causing the entire main deck of the Jackdaw to emit a sound that made the ears sore and the scalp numb.
That's the sound of an oak deck being overwhelmed...
The helm of the Fury was clearly out of control, and at the moment when the two ships "closely touched", on the deck of the Fury, the sailors infected by the sha held their weapons like the craziest barbarians Like people, they grabbed the rope on the side of the ship and swung to the top of the deck of the Jackdaw. The moment they fell into the crowd, they raised their weapons involuntarily, regardless of who was in front of them, and began to slash and kill frantically.
All of a sudden, the deck that was finally suppressed by Tanred and the guards turned into a terrifying killing field for Shura, and what was even more terrible was that with the wanton flow of blood and anger, those guards who were still calm , There seemed to be a look of confusion in the eyes.
Tenred lowered his head, and he saw the silver anchor pendant hanging on his chest. The handed down treasure of the Proudmoore family was rapidly shining with white light. The shining of this magic wonder was undoubtedly a warning to Tan Reed Rhett, something threatening, it may be some kind of curse, or some kind of energy, is spreading rapidly on the deck.
Judging from the frequency at which the pendant shines, this energy has obviously accumulated to a very terrifying level...
"No wonder the people on the Black Ark jumped into the sea to escape for their lives... That's how it is."
Prince Hai Hai swung his halberd and knocked the two Sharan soldiers who were attacking from behind to the ground. He looked left and right, put his fingers in his mouth, and whistled loudly to draw the attention of those guards who were still awake. focus on him.
"Everyone! Abandon ship!"
Tenred yelled, pulled out his sword with his backhand, and cut the tight rope on the mast. The next moment, with the whistling of the mainsail, the sea wind filled the sail, causing the whole ship that had stopped to speed up again. , so that those Sharan soldiers who were caught off guard couldn't maintain their figures and fell to the deck one after another.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Prince of the Sea picked up Major General Taylor, who was unconscious due to the impact, carried him on his shoulders, then ran a few steps quickly, and with a perfect jumping posture, fell into the icy sea, thumping A few minutes later, Tandred and Taylor were pulled up by some sailors who found the lifeboat.
And behind them, the sound of slashing and killing on the Jackdaw, those roars and cries of pain before dying, silenced all the fleeing people.
It's not that they don't want to save those companions, it's that they... can't.
Both the Empire and the Federation thought that they could control this land that had been seen again. However, the Mist Empire of Pandaria, with a tyrannical attitude, slapped these two arrogant guys with two loud slaps, completely destroying their struggle for hegemony. Waking up from a sweet dream.
This continent, which has been sealed away for ten thousand years, is really not as simple as it appears on the surface...
———————————————
"Come on! The coast is ahead!"
After drifting at sea for nearly an hour, Tenred and dozens of lucky sailors sat in 10 lifeboats and finally saw the coastline of Pandaria, which gave new hope to these exhausted imperial soldiers. They took turns to use the boat The oars paddled the water, and soon the survivors were sent to a sandy beach covered with small white stones with the help of the tide.
Tandred walked onto the beach with some difficult hands and feet. Behind him, the sailors who had escaped from death also looked listless in silence. The Federation's first naval battle was about to end with their complete victory, but a third-party black hand suddenly stabbed them in the back.
Who can bear this?
"What the hell is going on with that energy?"
Tandred moved his shoulders, stood up from the beach, and loudly assigned jobs to the sailors, while thinking about this problem in his heart. He really couldn't swallow this breath, but the problem was, the source of this strange infectious energy Where is it? Is it a horrible curse similar to the plague of the mind? Once the warships that fled the battlefield bring this plague back to the empire...will it lead to a more terrible end?
As the commander of a fleet, these issues must be considered by Tenred.
However, just when several sailors grabbed their weapons and were about to survey the surrounding environment, a low-pitched gunshot and the painful cry of the sailor beside Tenred who was pierced by a bullet in the thigh immediately changed the atmosphere on the beach. freeze up.
"Ah! Look who this is!"
General Valentine, wearing a blood-colored captain's cap, holding a rapid-fire pistol and a rose rapier, and the sailors of the Black Ark Fleet he gathered stood up from the other side of the beach. Obviously, they were specially Tanred and his party are ambushed here.
"The great sea prince Tenred Proudmoore!"
Valentine waved his hand. Behind him, the soldiers of the Black Ark set up their short-barreled shotguns. Under the aim of the more than 20 guns, the sailors on Tenred's side also wanted to fight back, but The few people who moved the fastest were immediately knocked to the ground by the howling bullets, and their life and death were unknown.
The smell of blood surged on the beach along with the fishy sea breeze. Tenred's face was ugly, but under the threat of the pistol in General Valentine's hand, he had to let go of his hand on the hilt.
He doesn't want to die here yet... It's not because he is afraid of death, but because he still has a lot of things to do.
"Valentin, your grandfather was the greatest general of Kul Tiras..."
Tenred shouted in a deep voice:
"Did you inherit his surname and blood, but not his fearless courage? You lost to me at sea, so you plan to use this small trick to regain victory?"
"Is this the glory of the federal soldiers?"
"Of course not, I'm just... saying hello to you, Tenred, my old friend..."
General Valentine casually threw the pistol in his hand to his adjutant. He pulled his blood-red rapier sword out of the scabbard and pointed the blade at Tenred. He moved his wrist and posed A fighting stance:
"Come on, I haven't seen you for a few years, let me see how you are now, Tenrad, if you lose, then obediently come back to the Federation with me as a "guest"."
"Just what I want!"
Tandred also pulled out his command knife. Under the watchful eyes of the sailors on both sides, the two commanders who met each other raised their weapons and prepared to have a duel on this land far away from home.
However, at the moment when Tandred and Valentine roared at the same time and rushed towards each other, a black shadow rushed into the battle circle of the two with a lightning-like posture, and the shadow let out a deep roar, Separate the hands, and amidst the hissing of sharp blades, Tenred's command knife and Valentine's rapier were pinched precisely by the fingers of the black shadow's hands at the same time.
It was a pandaren monk wearing a black hat and black leather armor with an indifferent face. He clamped the weapons of the two with his fingers like iron tongs. Tandred and Valentine wanted to The weapon was drawn back, but no matter how hard he tried, the weapon could not be drawn out.
The Pandaren monk shook his head with some disdain, turned his wrists outward, took the weapon away from the two hands, and then threw it aside, his fat body leaned back slightly, with his hands interlaced in front of his chest, swinging He made a strange fighting posture, which was extremely provocative. The two commanders looked at each other. This guy who suddenly appeared interrupted the rhythm of the two people's duel, and Tandred and Valentine were once friends. .
After the third-party provocateur appeared, they almost didn't hesitate too much, and they coordinated from left to right to attack the pandaren, just like when they were training together in Kul Tiras when they were teenagers.
As a result, this agile fat guy used an unimaginable posture of counterattack and blocking, as if he was playing with two people. In just a dozen seconds, under the phantom-like fists and kicks, Tenred He and Valentine were both knocked out, and fell powerlessly to the feet of the pandaren monk.
The sailors on both sides were excited and wanted to rush up to save their chief, but before they could act, a thunderous dragon chant resounded on the beach, a huge serpent like a giant black snake Flying nimbly in the low sky, the body nearly a hundred meters away brought terrifying pressure to the mortals below.
Until this time, beside the pandaren, the blood maid Cordana reluctantly came out of the shadows, and solemnly warned the bewildered sailors in common language:
"Sailors of the Empire and the Federation, you have traces of sha energy left on your body..."
"Drop your weapon immediately! Hold your head in your hands and squat on the ground! Accept the Shado-Pan's investigation!"
"This is the last warning!"
