Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The Nagfar is not advancing alone. To be honest, relying on a group of elite pirates to attack Vashj'ir, which has at least tens of thousands of Nagas, is simply a dream.

Even the new legendary pirate Lord Black, who has always been very confident, dare not be so confident.

It was not just the pirates who were determined to do something big tonight. When the ghost ship silently advanced on the seabed to a place more than ten nautical miles away from the Naga waters, the first wave of reinforcements was already waiting in formation ahead.

The always smart, or cunning, ancestor turtles seemed to have really made up their minds this time.

Perhaps they were bullied too much by the Nagas in various sea areas, and several towns were destroyed. Many tribesmen were taken as prisoners. This made the Ancestral Turtles feel that they could not continue like this, and they must strike hard to punish the hateful people. Take a look at the color of the Nagas.

So tonight they gathered an army.

There were seven scroll sages from each clan alone.

Among them were the collector Kojo and the sage Nora, who were familiar to the pirates. The other five turtle sages leading the team were a bit unfamiliar, but this time they were all wearing the armor of the ancestor turtle, carrying staff weapons, and they looked murderous. .

These guys with heavy shells, amazing natural defenses and brute strength organized a team of nearly 3,000 people.

Even though such a small number of people may seem weak to the pirates, to the Ancestral Turtles, whose population is sparse, reproduction is difficult, and the growth period is extremely long, these three thousand people are already a considerable force.

And these talkative guys didn't come alone, they didn't know where they found strange reinforcements.

Murlocs! Look at those murlocs, Captain!

First mate Sephiel, who was standing on the stern of the ship with Blake, let out an exclamation. She pointed at a group of strange murlocs arrayed behind the ancestor turtles, and shouted to her calm-looking captain. Xiao shouted:

I have never seen such fish-men! God, they are so tall and strong! Are these still fish-men?

Calm down, my first mate, don't embarrass yourself in front of the ancestor turtles.

Blake coughed, and the magic eye on his shoulder glanced at Sephiel, who was shouting exaggeratedly, and then at a group of ignorant subordinates behind him who were also poking their heads. He curled his lips and said:

What's the big deal about this kid? Haven't you seen a swordfish man before?

No, Captain, this is the first time I have seen such a brave fishman.

The only honest orc among all Black's useless subordinates, the orc Maim, looked forward curiously and answered honestly:

I thought the fish-men were all small, cunning things like Benbolba. Are these guys who came with the turtle men called 'swordfish men'?

It looks really awesome.

Well, the Waveblade Swordfish people of Nazjatar are more than just 'powerful'.

As the ghost ship approached the positions of the Turtles and Swordfish, Black also took some time to popularize the knowledge of Azeroth Oceanography to his ignorant subordinates.

The Swordfish people are different from the cunning and weak Ancestral Turtles. They live on the seabed near Nazjatar, the core area of ​​the Naga Empire. But even so, the Swordfish people are not enslaved by the Nagas.

From this point alone, we can see how powerful the Swordfish people are.

Not only do these guys have a complete heritage of assassins, hunters, warriors, and priests inherited from the ancient Jinyu Empire, but they even derived a set of 'Wave Blade Sword Master' skills from their years of brutal battles with Nagas. inherited.

Perhaps when fighting on land, the Swordfish Sword Master's strength is far inferior to that of the Orc Sword Master.

But once the battlefield is pulled into their home field, a Wave Blade Sword Master can easily slaughter an entire team of Fire Blade Sword Masters in the sea.

The premise is that the orcs were not drowned before being hacked to death.

At this point, Blake rolled his eyes on his shoulders and glanced at a silent guy in a hood behind the crowd. He noticed that when he said the word Juggernaut, the guy raised his head.

He smiled silently and said:

In short, these swordfish people are the 'battle fish' among all the fish people in Azeroth. Very few people have seen them, and even fewer people know them.

I have heard before that the Ancestral Turtles and the Swordfish maintain a very good relationship, and now it seems to be true.

The Swordfish people, who only breed in the waters of Nazjatar and are even smaller in number than the Turtle people, actually dispatched 300 warriors to support the decisive battle between the Ancestral Turtles and the Nagas. It seems that the Ancestral Turtles are really serious this time. It cost a lot of money.

This is probably the 'revolutionary friendship' between the brothers who are oppressed by the Nagas.

Wait, Captain.

Seeing the captain finish spreading the knowledge, the other incompetent pirates all responded with I see and I learned it today expressions, which greatly satisfied the captain's desire to teach as an educator.

But Sephiel beside him is not easy to fool.

She stared at the swordfish men who had a human appearance but were twice as tall as ordinary humans. Their bodies were covered with fish scales, and their hands and feet were decorated with webbed fins. They had weird fish heads on their heads and whispered to the pirates:

You said they are a branch of the ancient Jinyu Empire? In other words, the ancestors of these Jinyu people came from the misty continent in the South China Sea?

Well, of course, I know what you want to ask.

Blake shook his head and said:

“Their connection with the Jinyu people was severed ten thousand years ago. Although they know the route back to the misty continent, they cannot enter the mist.

At this point in time, there is only one treasure that can guide outsiders into the misty continent. And it is still floating somewhere in the sea.

You should know what I'm talking about, and don't try to encourage me to grab that thing.

The stinky pirate curled his lips and said:

We are escorted by two legendary grand masters and monks from the Water and Earth Sect and the Fire and Gold Sect. If someone like me dares to go there now, we will be finished. Our bodies will probably be buried as fertilizer in the large garden of Wuchen Temple.

Even though those guys are cute, they can be ruthless.

I'm just talking.

Sephiel's eyes rolled around, and she whispered:

“There has always been a legend among us Bronze Dragons that Dongfang Qinglong, one of the supreme gods of the Misty Continent, and the sacred and powerful Master Yulong have a way to ‘resurrect from the dead’.

Perfect for a poor ghost dragon like me.

That's not a resurrection from the dead.

Blake's tone became rarely serious, and he said to Sephiel:

“That’s called ‘reincarnation’!

Even if it can work for you, I won't allow you to use it. The price you have to pay is too high, and you really don't understand anything.

Okay, stop talking about this and maintain the dignity of the first officer, the ancestor turtles are coming closer.

Under the pirate's order, the stinky pirates on the deck of the Naqfar held their heads high and tried their best to show a mighty posture. Kojo and Nora, who got on the boat, looked confused.

What happened to these stinky pirates who used to eat, drink, and curse tonight? Did you take the wrong medicine? Your eyes are so big, aren't you afraid of them exploding?

Dear Lord Black, we have brought our army as agreed.

Cojo and Black became very familiar.

However, in this formal occasion, he still said with honorifics:

Our compatriots in the towns of Nazjatar have also received instructions. As long as we approach the Throne of Tides, they will cause chaos and attract the Naga guards away.

Your people, plus ours, are enough to complete the attack on the Throne of Tides.

Such a small number of people and such a reckless rush are just to increase the loot for the Nagas. Don't let your civilians take risks. Get them out.

I will do whatever it takes to disrupt the Naga defense line and attract attention.

Blake waved his hand and said with an arrogant and wise look:

Like you, I also brought powerful reinforcements today. However, that Lord is powerful but also has an eccentric personality. Asking him to help requires a 'tribute'.

The stinky pirate paused and made a you understand gesture to Kojo.

It made the ancestor Turtle Sage feel pain in his body.

For tonight's operation, they really paid a big price. Just inviting the elite swordfish people to participate in the battle almost emptied the inventory of the Ancestral Turtle Town living near Zandalar.

Now the stinky pirates are hinting at them to send more tributes, which is taking advantage of the situation.

But the problem is that now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired!

You have already spent so much on flowers, and all the sunk costs have been thrown in. If you pick and shrink at this time, it will appear that you have no structure here. So Kou Qiao gritted his teeth, nodded and said:

We will pay tribute! Come and summon 'him'.

Well, you are worthy of being a Scroll Sage. The way you promised to pay tribute is really impressive.

Black laughed, waved his hand and kicked the little fish-man who was lying beside the railing, looking at the swordfish-man in ecstasy. The latter looked at the Wave Blades with envy in his eyes.

Before tonight, Ben Bolba had never expected that a fishman could look so handsome and mighty.

Look at that head, look at those muscles, look at those beautiful scales and majestic appearance.

well.

Why was he born in a wetland instead of being born as a powerful swordfish man?

We are all fishmen, why is there such a big gap?

But the heart is full of worries, and business still needs to be done.

After being kicked by Blake, the little fish man cursed and yelled a few words, then patted the footprints on his butt, took a strange bone whistle, and blew it hard on the bottom of the sea.

No sound was made, and there was no change in the surrounding sea water.

This silence lasted for a full twenty seconds. When Kojo and Nora were a little anxious, everyone on the bottom of the sea suddenly felt the vibration of the surrounding water.

The vibration was very much like the vibration of the water waves when the ocean tide was approaching. It was the emanation of dark majesty that was enough to overwhelm all creatures on the seabed. It caused waves of commotion among the well-trained, orderly and fearless Swordfish people. .

The ten wave blade sword masters headed by them grabbed the coral heavy-edged sword behind them.

They sense a threat.

A terrible threat.

In this increasingly heavy atmosphere, the pirates and the turtles suddenly felt that the already deep and dark seabed was suddenly extremely dark, as if all the light was absorbed by something.

ah!

Nora suddenly let out a scream.

Kou Qiao beside him also shivered, but he still reached out to support his companion.

As the two scroll sages watched in astonishment, two lights suddenly lit up in the deep and dead darkness around them. The green poisonous fire quietly emitted in the water at the bottom of the sea, seeming to be burning in the water, outlining a terrifying figure. scene.

What was reflected under the light was the head of a sea snake.

It emerged from the darkness so quietly, looking down at the ants on the ghost ship. Every time the huge snake letter stained with poisonous fire was swallowed, it would cause a wave of chaos around it.

And its head alone is dozens of meters long.

Cojo and Nora, who were stared at by those eyes, felt instinctive fear in their hearts. If they hadn't known that this was the helper invited by the stinky pirate, they would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

This is a demigod.

no doubt.

But when did the Vashjir Sea have such a majestic and terrifying demigod? He also had contact with Black's pirate fleet.

Their ancestor tortoise also lived here, but they didn't hear anything about it.

Seeing this giant sea snake entangling the ghost ship in the dark underwater layer, it is difficult not to think of the legends of the terrifying sea monsters in the sea.

And under the reflection of the giant snake, Lord Black's power is getting stronger and stronger.

What a magical and fearsome man.

In addition to Lord Baku, I also have five hungry sea giants and a North Sea sea monster that can appear at any time to cause massacre and disaster as reinforcements.

Blake snapped his fingers, and with the majesty of Baku's appearance, he said to the ancestor turtles in front of him:

“But just like His Excellency Baku, they are also a group of greedy bastards. If you want them to help fight the war, you must meet their requirements before setting off.

I mean

No need to say it! Mr. Black!

Kou Qiao, who has learned to answer quickly, raised his trembling paws and said righteously:

We paid for it!

The turtle man looked at the majestic Moon Eater Baku, a giant snake from another world. He was half excited and half expecting, and he became more and more confident about tonight's adventure.

He said to Blake:

We will pay for all additional services. We have only one request, start a war immediately! Let the Nagas taste the anger of the poor people they oppressed!

Okay, the reward is in place, Naga is gone!

Blake laughed, waved his hand, and the Nagfar accelerated again, heading towards the brightly lit sea area in the distance in front of him.

The army of the Ancestral Turtle and the elite swordfish people were following behind the ghost ship.

Baku is also swimming on the bottom of the sea, and its elongated shadow casts a burst of anger and gloating joy in the hearts of these Naga Resistance Army in addition to fear.

Ha, those ungrateful soft-skinned snakes are going to be in bad luck tonight.

In order to see these bastards suffer misfortune, they are willing to give anything, let alone a mere amount of money.

Well, the undead pirates and Lord Black are really good friends of the undersea creatures.
