Chapter 160 Warrior Island
After learning that a South China Sea pirate group was stationed on Warrior Island, Yang Yi immediately organized the murlocs of Ratchet Town to prepare for an attack.
Yang Yi rode on a turtle mount and led 300 fighting murlocs to Warrior Island.
Warrior Island is located outside the mouth of Ratchet Bay, close to the direction of the Fear Bay of the Blackfin Murlocs.
If Yang Yi rode on a turtle mount alone, it would take less than a day to reach there, but it would take three or four days for the murlocs to swim there.
Three days later, Yang Yi led the murlocs to the vicinity of Warrior Island.
Yang Yi followed suit. He borrowed the tactics used by the Blackfin Murlocs last time. He let all the murlocs lurk in the sea water, and then he quietly emerged from the water to observe the situation on Warrior Island.
Warrior Island is a large island with a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers. There were originally scattered human buildings on the island.
The last time the Rumeng Guild led the murlocs to the island, they set a fire and burned the murlocs led by the Blackfin murlocs, causing them to flee in defeat. They also burned down all the buildings and trees on the island.
Yang Yi used the Eagle Eye Technique to look over. There were many tents set up on the high ground on the island, and wisps of white smoke rose from the island. It seemed that someone was making a fire to cook.
There were two sailing ships docked on the coast of the island, with the pirate skull flag flying on them. One of the two ships was a two-masted sailing ship, and the other was a three-masted sailing ship with a larger tonnage.
"It seems that this only three-masted sailing ship is the 'Heartless' mentioned by the pirate captives. This is the flagship of Baron Longshaw."
These South China Sea pirates are very cautious. There are pirates on the masts of the pirate ships standing guard. After Yang Yi investigated the situation, he quickly dived into the seabed.
"The information we got from the pirate captives is that there are three pirate ships left. Now only two ships are parked on Warrior Island. Where did the other one go?"
"But it doesn't matter if the other pirate ship is not there. We should find a way to seize the two remaining ships first. It's a pity to damage these ships. We must seize them intact."
In addition to taking the initiative, Yang Yi brought the fishmen here to seize the ships.
It is difficult for the fishmen to attack the pirate ships when they are sailing on the sea. Now that the pirate ships are docked on the shore, most of the pirates get off the ships to rest, so it is easier to succeed at this time.
It is not easy for the fishmen to approach the pirate ships during the day. Yang Yi decided to take action after night, when the fishmen's night vision ability can be fully utilized.
Yang Yi and other fishmen dived into the deep sea together, and he waited patiently for the night to fall.
Before the fishmen launched the attack to seize the ships, at dusk, a ship sailed towards Warrior Island from a distance.
"Boss, there are three ships on it." Mojimus reported to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi, who was hiding in the dark sea, looked up and saw three long black shadows moving on the white sea. It turned out that there were three ships.
"There should be only one pirate ship that left, why are there three coming back?"
Yang Yi was puzzled. He asked the fishman to stay still and swam to the surface of the sea again.
When Yang Yi swam to the surface of the sea, the three ships had already docked. He found at a glance that the shapes of two of the ships were different. The flags on these two ships had been lowered deliberately.
"These two ships don't look like pirate ships, and they look very familiar." Yang Yi was even more puzzled, but he couldn't remember where he had seen these two ships.
After the ship docked, the people on the ship began to disembark, and a large group of pirates cheered and boarded the land.
Yang Yi observed carefully and found that there were about fifty or sixty pirates on the pirate ship that had just returned. According to the information Yang Yi had obtained from the pirate captives before, there were currently three ships left in this pirate group, with more than two hundred pirates. That is to say, there are about a hundred pirates on each pirate ship, so there are less than forty pirates left on this ship to guard.
In addition to the pirates who came back, several people also got off the other two ships, including several goblins and a human. After getting off the ship, they were led by the pirates to the high ground where the tents were set up on Warrior Island.
"Aren't these the goblin ship owner Grimby and the adventurer Luo Wansan who often trade with Ratchet Town? It turns out that they also have dealings with the South China Sea pirates. No wonder these two ships look so familiar."
Yang Yi recognized them. It turned out to be an old acquaintance.
This goblin ship owner is a profit-seeking businessman. His merchant ship mainly buys and sells metal ores. Sometimes he also engages in the business of selling slaves. The dog-headed slaves in Ratchet Town were brought by them.
Yang Yi kept staring at the goblin ship owner and found that these people were taken by the pirates to the largest tent on the high ground.
Not long after, the adventurer Luo Wansan came out of the big tent.
A group of pirates escorted a large group of bound ogres onto the merchant ship of the goblin ship owner. Luo Wansan inspected the ogres while directing the sailors on the merchant ship to continuously move boxes of goods.
"It seems that this big tent is very likely where the leader of the pirate group, Baron Longshall, stays."
After Yang Yi found out the situation, he dived into the deep sea again. It was not the time to take action yet.
Under the deep sea, Yang Yi arranged for the fishmen to keep an eye on the situation on the sea.
The sky gradually darkened, and the light on the sea surface became dimmer and dimmer. The two goblin merchant ships left Warrior Island in the night.
Yang Yi did not let the fishmen attack the goblin merchant ships that left. After dark, he led the fishmen to slowly approach the sea surface. He was still waiting for the opportunity to take action.
"Wait until the second half of the night, when most of the pirates should be asleep. That's the best time to take action." Yang Yi waited patiently.
Under the darkness of night, there was silence on Warrior Island, with only a few campfires beating in the darkness.
"Wow la la..."
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Suddenly, a strange scream came from a distance, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night.
"It's a fish-man's cry. Where did the fish-man come from?"
"Not our Murlocs from Ratchet Town, our Murlocs are all here."
Yang Yi was surprised to find that a group of fishmen of unknown origin landed on the coast on the other side of Warrior Island. They screamed strangely and launched a surprise attack on the South China Sea pirates on the island.
Yang Yi used the eagle eye technique. The eagle eye technique and the fishman's night vision ability allowed him to vaguely see what was happening on Warrior Island.
A large group of murlocs rushed to Warrior Island, and at this time, the pirate tents had already been invaded by murlocs holding short blades. These murlocs seemed to have sneaked onto Warrior Island early in the morning, and were now killing the pirates who woke up from their sleep. , judging from their appearance, these murlocs should be murloc ambushers from the Blackfin Clan.
This was a premeditated raid.
A murloc figure holding a long-handled staff appeared on the beach. This murloc did not rush forward, but stood in the distance and directed the murlocs to fight.
Yang Yi was familiar with the figure of this murloc mage. He was the hidden leader of the Blackfin clan - Thief Eye, a level 5 murloc tidemaker.
There was chaos on Warrior Island. The pirates who stayed on the pirate ship were also alerted and found that an enemy was attacking. Many pirates rushed to support with weapons raised.
"Although these pirates were awakened, more than half of the people left on the ship were reduced. Unexpectedly, those fishmen did a good thing. Why didn't I think of this plan to lure Hu Lishan?" Yang Yi was overjoyed.
Most of the pirates who stayed behind on the pirate ship landed to support them. This was a God-given opportunity. Yang Yi quickly directed the murlocs from Ratchet Town to sneak towards the pirate ship.
"Again, no one should scream. Try to catch as many alive as possible, and let these pirates sail the ship."
Under the command of Yang Yi, it was rare that the murlocs in Ratchet Town did not let out the strange murloc cry of "bah la la" before the war started.
A few months ago, it was extremely difficult for the Ratchet Murlocs not to scream strangely before the war started. Now these fighting Murlocs in Ratchet Town have undergone long-term training, and at least they can obey orders. Keep quiet before the war.
There were only a few dozen pirates left on the three pirate ships, and these pirates were all greedy for life and afraid of death.
Three hundred murlocs swarmed forward. The pirates saw that there was basically no resistance. All the pirates on the deck abandoned the ship and fled to the island. They rested in the cabin and became prisoners of the murlocs.
The three pirate ships were easily captured by the murlocs of Ratchet Town.
"Immediately take the ship to the sea and tell the pirate prisoners that as long as they are willing to cooperate, they can be spared their lives. Anyone who disobeys will be killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish." Yang Yi announced loudly to everyone.
The fishmen never showed mercy, and those pirates who dared to resist or disobey were immediately cut into pieces and thrown into the sea.
These pirates are all desperadoes, and most of them are people who are unjust for profit. The remaining pirates saw that their lives were in the hands of the fishmen, and they immediately chose to obey the orders of the fishmen.
Yang Yi had planned to seize the ship early on, so he brought all the murloc sailors in the town for this operation. With the joint efforts of the murloc sailors and pirate captives, the three pirate ships set sail in the night.
The pirates on Warrior Island quickly discovered that something was wrong, and they quickly divided a group of pirates and rushed towards the pirate ship.
The pirate ship gradually sailed away from the coast of Warrior Island and onto the sea.
Yang Yi stood on the bow of the Wuxin. He smiled and looked at the pirates hurriedly coming over.
The pirate ship has arrived on the sea, and some pirates jumped into the sea to take back the pirate ship. When the pirates who entered the water discovered that it was a group of murlocs who had seized the pirate ship, they were immediately stunned and fled back to the coast one by one.
"I really didn't expect that this operation went so smoothly. These three pirate ships were just gifts. I really should thank these South China Sea pirates and those black-finned murlocs." Yang Yi said with a smile, those black-finned murlocs are really It was a big help, otherwise this operation would not have gone so smoothly.
The three pirate ships began to slowly turn around and sail towards Ratchet Bay. Although the sailing speed was a little slower due to the lack of sailors, this was only a minor problem.
The pirate ship has moved away from Warrior Island. It is now ruled by fishmen and there is no need to worry about the pirates on the island.
Yang Yi was enjoying the sea breeze comfortably on the Wuxin, a three-masted sailboat that was the flagship of the pirate group.
"With these pirate ships in Ratchet Town, they can form a fleet, and it is also a battle fleet with artillery. Unfortunately, this ship is also made of low-grade spruce wood. It seems that these pirates also Not doing well."
With this fleet, the fishmen of Ratchet Town can go further.
"Although there are risks in big voyages, it is also a matter of making a lot of money. As a murloc, it would be a waste if we don't develop the sea properly." Yang Yi longed for the Ratchet murlocs' ships to spread all over Ai Ze Russ all over the world, and then have a bright future with abundant wealth.
Suddenly, the fishmen on the outermost pirate ship suddenly became chaotic.
Several murlocs ran out of the cabin, and they shouted loudly towards the Wuxin where Yang Yi was, "Mayor, there are things under the ship, they are attacking the bottom of the ship."
Before the murlocs finished shouting, the pirate ship shook violently, tilted rapidly during the shaking, and the stern of the hull sank first.
"There are murlocs under the ship!"
"They are murlocs from the Blackfin Clan, they are chipping the ship."
"There are dozens of blackfin murlocs in the water."
The murlocs shouted loudly, and they soon found a group of blackfin murlocs under the ship.
"Go into the water and kill those blackfin murlocs." Yang Yi ordered, and these dozens of blackfin murlocs actually wanted to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth, they simply didn't care about their lives.
Following Yang Yi's order, a "plop" sound was heard on the sea surface for a while, and the murlocs of Ratchet Town jumped into the sea one after another.
"These blackfin merfolk took the initiative to go ashore to attack the South China Sea pirates. They sent merfolk ambushers to the island at the beginning. It seems premeditated. I don't know why they did this. Is it to seize the pirate ship? I haven't heard that blackfin merfolk can also drive a ship."
Yang Yi didn't quite understand. These blackfin merfolk definitely didn't attack the pirates to eliminate harm for the people or to collect the bounty, but the posture of the blackfin merfolk who attacked the ship as soon as they arrived didn't seem like they were here to seize the pirate ship.
Merfolk have never been a brave and fearless fighting race. When the forty or so blackfin merfolk who were destroying the ship in the sea saw that the number of merfolk jumped off the pirate ship, which was several times their own, they immediately fled in all directions.
The blackfin merfolk who attacked the bottom of the ship ran away, and the pirate ship with a big hole in the bottom of the ship could not be rescued. The pirate ship slowly tilted down.
Under the pursuit of the merfolk in Ratchet Town, twelve blackfin merfolk were captured alive and taken to the Heartless.
Yang Yi used the Lord's Eye to look over, and found that those who came to slash the boat were indeed the murlocs of the Blackfin Clan.
"Tell me, what are you doing on Warrior Island? Why are you attacking those pirates?" Yang Yi's eyes swept back and forth over the dozen or so Blackfin murlocs, and then he questioned.
"I don't know."
"The clan leader asked us to come."
"To steal things."
"To slash the boat."
...
These Blackfin murlocs talked to each other, but none of them could answer Yang Yi's question. The IQ of ordinary murlocs was just like that.
Yang Yi didn't say much, he walked directly to a Blackfin murloc.
Through the Lord's Eye, Yang Yi had discovered that most of these murlocs were just the most ordinary murlocs, among which there were only two murloc hunters and patrolling murlocs, and only the Blackfin murloc in front of him was a level 1 murloc beach walker, and this murloc had remained silent from the beginning.
Among the combat murlocs in Ratchet Town, combat professionals accounted for almost half, which was unique among the murlocs. The proportion of Blackfin murlocs was normal.
"Do you know something?" Yang Yi looked at the black-finned fishman coldly.
"..." The fishman raised his head, and after hesitating for a while, he did not answer Yang Yi's question.
"If you don't want to talk now, we have plenty of ways to make you talk." Yang Yi threatened.
"I said, the chief asked us to grab the explosives." The fishman tribe has a low sense of racial honor. Under the threat, the black-finned fishman hesitated for only a few seconds before telling the truth.
"Why are you grabbing explosives?" Yang Yi asked.
The black-finned fishman shook his head. He didn't know why the chief wanted to grab explosives.
"Take these black-finned fishmen down and find a place in the cabin to lock them up." After Yang Yi understood the situation, he asked the fishman to take these black-finned fishmen away.
The black-finned fishmen were taken away, and at this time Mojimus ran out of the cabin: "Boss, a secret room was found in the cabin, and two people were imprisoned in it."
"There is a secret room on the Wuxin, who is imprisoned in the secret room?" Yang Yi asked.
"It's a human and a minotaur, and they also found this thing." Mojimus handed a red mask to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi took the mask and looked at it with the Lord's Eye, and found that it was a [Red Silk Mask].
"The name doesn't seem to be special, but I seem to have heard of it somewhere. However, the mask covers most of the face when worn, and it doesn't seem to be used by upright people. Instead, it is often worn by thieves and robbers."
Not long after, a little human girl and a tall minotaur with black mane were escorted to the deck by several fishmen.
Yang Yi saw that the little human girl was probably in her early teens, and the black minotaur was very strong, even among the minotaurs, he was a rare tall and strong type.
The minotaur was tied up tightly with hemp ropes all over his body, and he stared with two big eyes like copper bells.
"What are your names? Why are you locked up on the ship by pirates?" Yang Yi asked.
The minotaur snorted twice, and white air came out of his big nostrils, and it was obvious that he was not going to answer.
The little girl had black hair. She looked at Yang Yi, the fishman, with her eyes. She didn't seem to be afraid. Her mouth was stubbornly closed.
Yang Yi chuckled. He knew the answer even if he didn't answer. He used the Lord's Eye on the two of them.
[Name]: Mr. Heavy Punch
[Level]: Level 4 Minotaur Warrior
[Race]: Minotaur
[Gender]: Male
——
[Name]: Vanessa Van Cleef
[Level]: Level 1 Human
[Race]: Human
[Gender]: Female
"Vanessa VanCleef? Could it be related to VanCleef, the leader of the Defias Brotherhood?"
Yang Yi remembered hearing someone mention it on the forum, saying that it was a gang of gangsters and bandits, and they mainly operated near Stormwind City in the Eastern Kingdom.
"Yes! I heard that the people in this organization usually wear red masks, and this [Red Silk Mask] must be their identity symbol. But how did they run from the Eastern Kingdom to Kalimdor? And they were locked up by pirates."
The Defias Brotherhood is actually an armed uprising army composed of migrant workers. They rebuilt the current Stormwind City. When the Stormwind City government defaulted on the project payment, these migrant workers became mobs. The people of the Defias Brotherhood all wear a red mask, which is regarded as a unified symbol by them. This is no longer a secret. .
