Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"He's not going to give up yet, he's going to destroy my ship! That old bastard!"

On the deck of the Nagfar, Blake saw Dailin resisting the ravages of the North Sea sea monster Leviros and continuing to accelerate towards the Alpaca and the Wharton magic weapon.

As for the firepower of the black flagship, once it enters the range of the naval gun, it only takes one salvo to hit the Alpaca.

The troll's giant transport ship was not equipped with close combat firepower. It only had a few close-in defense cannons to "embolden" the fox people. This was only installed after Eudora repeatedly requested it.

In Black's vision, all the combat effectiveness of this inconvenient large ship is based on the goblin bombers carried on it.

Only then did those pirate ships escort it.

But Dai Lin was too fierce.

There's no stopping these pirates.

This was not an opponent of the same magnitude at all. The only one who dared to block the Alpaca was Maimu and his orc ship, which had been overturned in the first wave of charges.

From the time Dai Lin took over the command until now, the pirate fleet has been losing troops and generals. On Gilneas's side, before the appearance of the North Sea Sea Monster, they had hardly lost a single ship.

The Gilneans charged after Daelin, and they all went crazy for a moment.

It can only be said that if you play well, you can play well. Even if you use a third-rate configuration like the Gilnean fleet, you can still do super damage.

"My little master, the deal is settled."

Just when Blake was feeling anxious, Xalatas sent good news. Miss Void Essence said in a gentle tone:

"B'aku asks you to give it the power to move freely in Azeroth. The forest witches who are controlling it must be killed. To do this, it can be lazy and 'pretend' to attack us to avoid being exiled by those witches. Back to its terrible 'homeland'.

This cunning snake's world has collapsed.

It doesn't want to go back to the world swallowed by the void, so it wants you to find it a comfortable nest in the endless sea for it to recuperate.

Finally, the snake was hungry.

It requires you to provide it with ninety-nine pure or evil souls for it to enjoy."

"It's asking for so much, and all I'm getting is a shield from attack?"

The pirate curled his lips and said:

"I feel like this is not a fair deal. Also, why does the request for ninety-nine evil souls sound so familiar? Are you sure it was Baku who requested it?"

"Oh, that's my 'appearance fee'."

Xal'atath snorted and said confidently:

"I'm still accompanying the Dragon Mother to take care of the black dragon eggs in Grim Batol. It's risky for me to come here to help you. Once the Dragon Mother discovers my abnormality, my 'beautiful clothes' will be gone. .

Taking such a big risk to come here, little master, won't you give me some benefits?

I can help you bargain with Baku. I can persuade it to turn around and help us.

Have you seen its strength?

That was an alien demigod. Although it was seriously injured now, as long as it waved its tail, the Gilnean fleet would be finished. "

"unnecessary."

Blake rolled his eyes and refused:

"I can't afford the price of hiring a demigod, but you can help me tell it, and it will tell me the exact location of the forest witches immediately.

My subordinates are searching for them in Gilneas.

Old Garni will have to run from both ends now, and its power in Gilneas is very weak. It will be a waste of time to find it. I need Baku's help.

If you want freedom, you have to take the initiative, right? "

Xalatas then chattered a few more words in the "Void dialect" to the huge void snake Baku. The huge snake raised its head, and the dragon-wing-like membranes on both sides of its head vibrated, making a weird and terrifying scream. Call.

Like a threat, but also like a response.

A few seconds later, a rough location was sent to the pirates through mental transmission. Blake took the Gilneas map from the hands of the shameful pirate dragon who was trembling with fear and glanced at it.

He drew a circle on the map and gave it back to Sephiel.

The first mate immediately rushed towards the cabin with the map, guiding Old Garni and the Uncrowned Ones to the location of the raid.

"Click"

The stinky pirate turned around and no longer looked at the mess and misery of his fleet in front of Dai Lin.

He pulled out the double-barreled shotgun stuck in his chest, replaced it with brutal mammoth hunting bullets, and put the Lingxian Longbow on his back.

Turning back and gesturing to Windrunner's mother, as the hippogryph screamed and landed on the deck, General Blake and Lilesa mounted the loyal hippogryph and flew into the ocean mist.

When leaving, he said to Baku, the giant snake from another world who stuck his head out of the fog to block the Nagfar, forcing the ghost ship to be unable to move:

“Be patient and you’ll be free in no time.

I happen to know a place that is very suitable to be your lair. It is filled with the heart-warming power of the void, and it is so hidden that no one will disturb you.

I will mark the location for you within three months. During these three months, you can live on my island temporarily. I will not ask you for rent, but you must promise me that when you 'move', It must be louder!

I mean, the crazier the better.

Whatever Daelin and his Tide Sage have done to my fleet, I will pay back twice as much soon! "

——

The naval battle in the waters of Khaz Modan is in full swing, and within the borders of Gilneas, there is no peace in the depths of the Black Forest near the southern city of Ghostwind Dale.

This eerie forest with dark stories is taboo to the locals and is the basis for the ghost stories they use to scare children.

No one in their right mind would enter this place on their own initiative.

But today, a group of uninvited guests visited here through strange methods.

"Plop"

In an awkward fall, a group of people fell from mid-air and landed in a disgusting garbage pile next to a mass of mud.

The Uncrowned Quartermaster Moros and the high-level assassin Valeela reacted quickly. Before falling into the mud, they threw out the hook lock and hooked the branches above, allowing themselves to land in a less dirty place.

But other assassins did not have such good luck.

They smashed it down and splashed mud, and they succeeded in staining their newly issued fine armor, which was modeled on the Brotherhood's armor and customized by the magic tailor of the Suramar resistance, with extremely disgusting things.

Among them is the new Assassin Master Zack Flash.

With the strength of the dwarf assassin, there is no need to be so embarrassed.

But just after three days of intense interrogation and the accumulation of mental pressure, the dwarf was in a very bad state, and he accidentally fell into the mud.

"The location Black sent is near here. This garbage dump is the closest landing point to the target. Look at how disgusting these Gilnean black witches are!

The toilets of the Troll Exiles are cleaner than this! "

The illusion of Old Garni, suspended above the garbage heap, covered its slender nose with its flexible claws. This ugly and cute Lesinognathus shook its head and tail in the air and shouted to a group of embarrassed assassins:

“Don’t talk about what happened today casually!

As a peace-loving Loa, I should not interfere in your war. If anyone goes out and talks nonsense, I will definitely send Microraptor to bite your butt!

alright.

Now hurry up and do your evil deeds.

When you're done, come here and find me. I'll take you out of here. You'd better hurry up. Things are not good over there with my friend Blake.

If you fail, the fleet that Black has worked so hard to save will be destroyed.

You all know his petty temper.

The consequences of making him angry will not be good, hehehehe. "

Old Garni burst into unscrupulous laughter.

The round eyes rolled, and before leaving, he said:

"Remember to help me find some interesting garbage tributes from those witches, so that I may feel better and not be so 'rough' when I send you back."

After saying that, it disappeared into the smelly garbage pile with a whoosh, as if it didn't want to stay here for a second longer.

"over there!"

Moros, who led the team, stepped on the disgusting swamp on the dark forest floor. The undead butler frowned and looked at the stains on his moccasin boots. The surrounding environment made him very uncomfortable.

He quickly set his sights on the target.

Deep in the forest in front of you, there is a strange abandoned manor in a swamp, and a dark attic shrouded in haze. The patrollers wearing Gilneas palace armor around them are the best proof that the goal is met.

"Master Zac, it's time to show off your exquisite skills."

Moros threw two daggers to the dwarf. The dwarf took them with a look of displeasure, dexterously played with them, and then reached out to ask for them:

"Give me the poison. Since this is an assassination mission that will kill you in one hit, you have to be ruthless."

The undead butler nodded to the assassin next to him. The latter took out a bottle of snake-man venom and threw it to the dwarf. The latter opened the lid, sniffed it, and immediately gave a thumbs up and said:

"The poison is strong and has no pungent smell. It is really the best among poisons. You uncrowned ones are quite capable."

"Without further ado!"

The elf assassin Valeela pulled down her long hood, jumped into stealth first, and rushed towards the manor in front of her, followed closely by Moros.

The other Uncrowned Assassins also went into stealth, leaving only the dawdling dwarf.

Zach Yao looked left and right, his thoughts moving.

He took a few steps back and was about to run, but before he could turn around, he discovered that there was a small, green-skinned Microraptor with sinister features and rat-like eyes at his feet, standing there, tilting his head to look at him.

"Haha, I'm just getting familiar with the environment, don't think too much, don't make any snitches."

The dwarf laughed awkwardly, quickly applied venom to his dagger, then pulled up the mask and disappeared with a whoosh.

In the attic of the abandoned manor in the Black Forest, the forest witches are causing chaos.

These inferior spellcasters shouted in all directions:

"The Moon Eater is resisting our orders! It's resisting the power of the ritual. Oh my god, it's so powerful that we can't control it."

"Quick! Banish it back. If it continues like this, it will get out of control."

"Why panic! You trash."

The Great Swamp Witch knocked on the floor with her bone staff in dissatisfaction, and cursed in a rough voice:

"That's a beast, that's a killing machine. Why control it? You idiot, take off its restraints and let it unleash its wild ferocity.

We just need to maintain the power of the reversal ritual, as long as we can banish it back to another world when it gets completely out of control.

Are you really letting me down too much?

Why is it so quiet outside? "

The big witch who was yelling suddenly realized that something was not right. The footsteps of the Gilnean guards patrolling back and forth outside disappeared.

This made the big witch immediately alert. She threw a strange bright feather with her backhand, and an alien monster that looked like a bird and a beast was summoned to protect her.

Almost at the same time, the Uncrowded Assassins who had sneaked into the attic launched their attacks at the same time. In an instant, blood danced wildly in the entire ritual room, and screams echoed.

"Dang, Dang"

The four daggers handed out by the dwarf master and Moros were blocked and repulsed by the bone staff wielded by the great witch like a war spear and her evil summons.

But this fierce and short battle also broke through the fragile magical disguise of the great witch and exposed her true face.

An orc!

A big, green female orc with a hood and coat made of the skin of strange beasts, and a clan-style bone glove on her left hand.

Now he looked at the two assassins, one tall and one short, with a ferocious smile, and said sarcastically:

"You legendary assassins are nothing more than this. You can't even kill a crippled shaman."

"No ma'am, we don't need to kill you."

Moros whispered:

"Due to the poor response of your poor subordinates, I think our mission has been completed."

"Um?"

The big witch who had revealed her true form as an orc looked back and was immediately filled with anger.

His useless subordinates were so frightened by the sudden appearance of the assassin that they ran away, leaving the alien creature summoning ceremony unattended. A female elf assassin wearing a dark red hood was throwing a bundle of goblin detonators burning with sparks into the ceremony. core.

"No!"

The female orc let out an extremely frightened scream.

She tried to call on the elements to extinguish the detonator, but the Uncrowned Ones who completed the task retreated one after another. Two seconds later.

"boom"

A not violent explosion broke out in the center of the alien summoning ceremony.

The power was not enough to destroy the attic, but the ritual itself was impacted, and coupled with Moon Eater Baku's constant resistance, it caused a ball of out-of-control energy to sweep in all directions like a shock wave.

The attic that had been in disrepair could not withstand such an impact. As the female orc screamed in horror and despair, the entire attic collapsed and fell on her.

But her strange bird monster summons helped her block it, giving her time to pounce out. She fell on the edge of the ruins in disgrace, but her feet were tightly pinned by the collapsed beams.

The pain caused the female orc to scream loudly.

The most desperate thing was that a pair of stained moccasin boots appeared in front of her.

Moros, the undead butler, patted the dust off his body. He stared at the desperate female orc at his feet and said in a hoarse tone:

"Are you a shaman? The master needs a shaman to serve him, so you'd better be."

"I could be the one."

The female orc who knew the current affairs swallowed her saliva and said in a difficult tone:

"The former high-ranking shaman of the Shadowmoon clan, member of the Shadow Council, and now the black witch Hagatha serves you. I really don't want to die, please spare my life.

I am willing to offer my strength and loyalty to your master, my future master.

I swear!

I will do my best to serve the new leader just like I served Gul'dan! "
