4. Battle at sea

The long journey at sea is disgusting, and even the dead will feel bored in this situation, but considering that the next stop is to go to the Dark Gate, the death goblin Buddy. Moore suggests that it is better to walk from the southernmost point of the continent, the Valley of Thorns, which is very close to the swamp where the Dark Gate is located!

This advice was taken by Tyrion, and the Death Knights changed course and set sail south.

"Tyrion!"

Luminas rushed into Tyrion's captain's room, a grim smile of schadenfreude on her face, which had not become ugly from death, and beckoned to Tyrion:

"Come on! The Alliance and the Horde are at war on the front! ”

"Huh?"

The Death Knight frowned, and he put down the obscure magic book in his book, which he had borrowed from the Blood Mage Severn.

The work of "restoring" the memory of the Death Knight skills has now entered a bottleneck, and the remaining complex skills, as well as the advanced use of death energy, require a certain amount of magical knowledge to support, and the existing Death Knight are all good warriors, but they are not qualified researchers.

So the work had to be done by Tyrion himself.

"Red. The Black Hand was ambushed by the Alliance? ”

Tyrion stood up and said to Luminas:

"You'd better go and inform Glokush, who is resting, he's definitely interested."

The young lady snorted and turned to leave, and Tyrion also walked quickly to the deck, and across the sea several kilometers away, it was clear that the seven ships of the Horde were blocked by the alliance warships that were several times their size, and those heavily armed alliance warships were bombarding the Horde's ships.

Buddy. Moore hid on the deck, his hands clutching his long ears, his face full of horror, death was so merciful to the goblin that it didn't even take away his fear.

Seeing Tyrion approaching, Buddy rushed to the leader's side, and he screamed loudly:

"Those alliances must have discovered us, Lord Tyrion, let's run, the Horde should be able to hold out for a while!"

Tyrion didn't answer, he narrowed his eyes, and under the elves' superb eyesight, he quickly saw the naval flag of Kurtilas flying from the Alliance's flagship, and the human leader standing on the bow of the ship, commanding the fleet amid the roar of gunfire.

"Dai Lin?"

The Death Knight's brow furrowed, and he looked back at the frightened goblin as he asked in a low voice:

"What's the name of this sea?"

"On the edge of the Kazmodan Sea, there's an island where pirates often rest."

Seeing Tyrion's calm appearance, the goblin couldn't help but feel a little more confident, he looked left and right with anxiety, and whispered:

"It's called Tidal Island, it's very producing, I wanted to build a black market on this island, but I was stopped by the damn Prince of Trade, hell, he must have found a business opportunity inside..."

"Okay, I'm not interested in your business!"

Tyrion interrupted the goblin's rambling memories, and when he heard the name of the island, a flash of clarity flashed in Tyrion's eyes.

"The Battle of the Sea on Ebb Island... Dai Lin seems to have lost one of the most important things in her life here, well... This may be a, an opportunity..."

The Death Knight thought for a moment, put his finger in his mouth, whistled, and a silent skeleton horse rushed out of the cabin, Tyrion rolled over his horse, the cold energy of death wrapped around the horse's hooves, and the terrifying creature leaped off the deck and came to a steady stop on the rough sea.

The sea around its hooves was temporarily frozen.

It's called the Frost Path, one of the Death Knight's abilities that Tyrion restored very early.

"Buddy, let's sail and go, wait for me on the edge of the battlefield."

He shouted to the goblins, took the reins of his horse, stepped on the frozen water, and rushed towards the battlefield covered with gunpowder in front of him, and the death goblin lay on the deck, poked out half his head, and screamed:

"My lord, what are you going to do? Come back soon! ”

————————————————————————————-

"Send these scum to hell!"

Dai Lin stood on the deck of the flagship, his face was full of red, obviously enjoying this kind of battle at sea, especially when the opponent he slaughtered was the green skin, his will to fight would be raised to the extreme in an instant.

And in the roar of the admiral, the artillery of a whole fleet roared, throwing enough ammunition to flatten a mountain on the heads of the orcs, 30 battleships against 7 troop carriers, and there was no suspense in this battle at all.

In fact, it was a real surprise that the Alliance fleet was able to catch this landing fleet.

In Red. When the Black Hand's fleet approached Tidefall Island, Dai Lin's fleet had already rested and was ready to set sail, and the two sides should have been perfectly staggered, but the young navigator Taylor had eyes sharper than eagles, and in the waves of the sea, he could see the faintly approaching fleet almost at the limit distance.

In the naval battles of the Age of Sail, this keen observation was a very rare and very important trait, and after receiving Taylor's report, the admiral decisively chose to stay and organized an ambush on the sea in a short time.

And the crew of Red's Black Hand are all Amani trolls who have been recruited by the tribe, as well as some scum pirates who are begging for a living at sea, don't expect these people to have a high level of tactical literacy, when they saw the alliance fleet, these sailors panicked and planned to turn around, but it was too late.

"Cunning Alliance Dog!"

Red, whose face was covered in black and ash, clenched the red war knife in his hand, staring at the alliance fleet that was constantly firing in the distance, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

There was also a hideous abrasion on his arm, which was a memento of the cannonball that had just grazed the mast, and the navy of Kurtilas was very good at this kind of raid, and almost in the first wave of attacks, the masts of the four warships of the Horde were broken, and the ships that had lost power were left alone in place, becoming the best targets.

Behind Red, the Horde's sailors have fallen into the most panicked state, and the troll pirate Tony, known as "the best navigator of the South Seas". Teeth even hid in the corner and shivered, much to the fury of the Orc Overseer, who roared and stepped forward, kicked Tony in the body, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"Damn it! Let me maneuver the artillery! Fight back! Did you hear that? I want you to fight back! ”

The troll pirate originally wanted to propose to flee quickly, he knew that in this case, the tribe would not be able to turn around, but seeing Red's red eyes, he swallowed in fear, he knew that if he proposed to escape at this time, he would definitely be beheaded by this brutal orc.

"Fire! I'll go! Let me go, okay? ”

Tony. With a flattering smile on Twin Fang's sly face, Red snorted and threw the old pirate on the deck, whose eyes rolled, rushed to the deck's guns, fired a shot indiscriminately, and then, taking advantage of Red's inattention, turned and jumped into the water.

This move immediately attracted the other sailors to follow suit, and although swimming without anything was a dead end in the vast sea, there was no more to care about at the moment.

"Coward! Coward! ”

Seeing the sailors jump into the sea and escape, Red was so angry that he grabbed the musket on the deck and fired a shot at the guys who had jumped into the water, and a hapless troll was smashed in the head, and the disgusting blood stained the sea, adding a touch of hideousness to the already terrible battlefield.

"Maim! Maim, where are you? ”

Red wanted to fight back, but naval warfare was really not a project that orcs were good at, seeing that the human fleet was approaching, and a scorching cannonball almost grazed his body and smashed on the deck, but fortunately it did not detonate, but just ignited the deck, in the flames that quickly burned, the orc gritted his teeth, rushed into the cabin, shouting his brother's name, and after a while, Maim, who was covering his arm, rushed out of the cabin:

"Brother, the bottom of the boat is in the water! Run! There is no hope. ”

"Take this!"

Red shoved the wooden box hanging from his waist into Maim's hand, patted his brother on the shoulder, and said in a tone of encouragement:

"Take it back to Orgrim, it's your guarantee of becoming the Blackstone Chief... As for me, I won't run away! I promised my father that I would not be a coward! ”

"There's a dinghy on deck, let's go!"

After saying that, Red turned around and rushed out of the cabin, not giving Maim a chance to refuse, Red stood on the burning deck, his breathing was heavy, the blood-red light in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, he held his war knife, looked at the Alliance warship that was less than 500 meters away from him, like a real reckless orc, beating his chest and roaring at the enemy in the flames.

"Come on! Alliance scum, come and kill me! ”

This scene was clearly seen by Dai Lin in the binoculars, the face of this orc made him very familiar, but he didn't care, he snorted coldly, and said to the big knight beside him:

"Adjust the angle of the cannon and blow that orc and his battered ship away!"

"A single orc dares to challenge the Alliance! Since he wants to die so much, we will satisfy him! ”

Under the order of the admiral, the guns on Dai Lin's flagship turned their muzzles in unison, intending to send Red and his "flagship" into the icy sea with a frantic fire, Red also seemed to have a premonition that the end was coming, he took a deep breath, and clenched the war knife in his hand with both hands.

Even if it was death, he didn't want to die as a coward.

At this moment, two loud roars came from the sky, this familiar sound made the admiral's face change drastically, and Red, who was already determined to die, showed an expression of survival, and they raised their heads at the same time, looking at the sky, and in the clouds, three huge red monsters flapped their wings and rushed into the sea below.

"Boom"

Two scorching pillars of fire descended from the sky, like a cruel blade, and in the swing of the dragon's head, the three battleships on the edge of the battlefield were enveloped in dragon breath, and the other dragon hovered over the battlefield, the dragon knight observed the battle, and soon, he found the flagship of the alliance.

Amid the wild laughter of the dragon-throated orcs, the dragon gathered its wings and rushed in the direction of Dai Lin.

"Griffin Knight lifts off!"

"Artillery maximum elevation angles! Fight them off with a barrage! ”

The admiral saw the dragon rushing towards the flagship, but this was no longer in the sea area of Nanhai Town, and it was not the first time he had fought with the dragons, the admiral already had a lot of experience fighting the dragon on the sea, he drew the command knife on his waist, and got the admiral's order, and the battleship's guns turned around again.

"Boom Boom"

The scorching shells burst out of the chamber at the highest elevation angles, and the gunners didn't aim, and for a winged creature like the dragon, precise aiming didn't make sense, and they poured the cannon barrage in the fastest rate of fire in both directions, in this way to stop the dragon from approaching.

The griffin knights of the Hammer also took to the skies, and after the defeat on Zulred Island, each battleship was equipped with more than 5 griffon knights, almost all of the griffon knights in Eagle's Nest Mountain were evacuated, this luxury was to prevent the navy from failing again due to the dragon's surprise attack.

"Whoa, hula, hula"

Nearly 130 griffin knights manipulated the ferocious griffins to rise into the sky, densely packed like a swarm of bees, this number of sky hunters was enough to threaten these three dragons, the orcs should retreat, but they had confirmed the existence of Dai Lin, the temptation to kill an alliance king on the battlefield made the three dragon knights unable to refuse.

"Beat them in the wings and eyes!"

Kudran. Brute Hammer assists the Alliance Army on frontal combat, and this time the Griffin Knights are commanded by Alfonso, a close comrade-in-arms of Kudran who had fought Red in the forests of Hinterland. Thundering, the rough dwarf with the Alliance-issued goggles, roared and waved the hammer in his hand, and led his comrades to the dragon raging in the sky without fear.

"The Hammer has already retreated once in front of the Red Dragon..."

Alfonso's roar rang out in the sky: "There will be no next time!" No one can defeat us in the skies dominated by the Hammer! ”

"Not even dragons!"

"Boom Boom Boom"

The thunder hammer that flew out of the hands of the dwarven knights formed a silver barrage of lightning in the air, and these powerful attacks smashed on the red dragons on the battlefield, beating these adult dragons into a roar, they were forced to join the battlefield by the threat of the skullcrusher Necruz to the red dragon queen, and they had no will to fight at all.

However, the threat of the griffons caused the dragons to fight back, and they used their hard scales to break up the griffin knights' formation, their battering ram-like tails and scorching dragon breath raging in the sky, and in just 3 minutes of the battle, the griffin knights had already lost more than 10 of them.

"Tsk, it's really a big show."

Standing quietly in the waters of the battlefield, Tyrion raised his head, looking at the death fight between the griffin knights and dragons overhead, and at the three roaring adult red dragons, a trace of greed flashed in Tyrion's eyes.

A true necromantic dragon is definitely the Death Knight's best mount and combat companion, and he's wondering if there's a chance to get one this time.

However, his attention had been fixed on the Alliance flagship not far away, which was the purpose of his visit to this battlefield, and he didn't want to miss it.

"Dai Lin, old friend, whether it's you or your son, anyway, this time, I know I won't go home empty-handed..."
