Late at night, on a small island not far from the coast of Azshara.
Dailin, the fleet commander of Kul Tiras, is gathering here with a group of captains, officers, and sailors.
In the open space near the beach, you can see densely lit bonfires, and people sitting around the bonfires eating, drinking, and chatting. From time to time, rude curses and laughter can be heard.
Apparently, they were resting here for the night after patrolling the coastline for a day.
Although the hammock in the cabin is not impossible to sleep in, that kind of dark, depressing space, full of all kinds of indescribable smells, is obviously far less comfortable than camping on open land.
What's more, your body will definitely not be able to bear eating those pickled foods while sailing at sea for a long time.
At this time, it is particularly important to go ashore and get some fresh meat, vegetables and fruits to improve your diet.
Therefore, Dai Lin would dock the fleet near the bay of the island every night, and let his men take turns to go ashore to relax and rest, so as to alleviate the mental and psychological impact of long years of boring sea life.
Of course, the most important reason why he dared to do this was that the orcs did not have any decent sea and air power at all.
Those low-quality fishing boats that looked like bathtubs, as well as airships hired from goblins, have all sunk to the bottom of the sea and become a paradise for fish.
The entire Azshara coastline is now completely in the hands of the Kul Tiras naval fleet.
Unless the enemy can grow wings and fly over, the vast sea is the best barrier.
At this moment, the alliance's most legendary fleet commander was sitting next to a huge bonfire, chewing on roasted seabirds shot by his men with muskets, and drinking his favorite liquor, his eyes filled with revenge.
of pleasure.
Ever since his eldest son died at the hands of the Dragonmaw clan orcs, it had been a long time since he could feel that he was still a living person and not a numb walking corpse.
Especially when I saw those savage and bloodthirsty green-skinned monsters, after witnessing the death of their relatives and children, standing like crazy on the beach and furious at the battleships they could never reach, and then being blown up one by one by the naval guns.
The sky full of minced meat made Dai Lin realize for the first time that orcs also have feelings and can also produce strong negative emotions such as pain and despair.
This discovery undoubtedly made him excited and ecstatic.
After all, the act of revenge itself is a kind of irrational and pure venting.
The more painful and desperate the retaliated party appears during this process, the more the avengers will gain a sense of satisfaction from it, and then feel in their hearts that fairness and justice have been upheld.
If the other party simply chooses to lie flat without any reaction, the avenger will not only not be mentally satisfied, but may feel boring and empty, or even give up on revenge halfway.
In short, the orc's reaction further stimulated Dai Lin.
At this moment, the legendary commander of the Alliance Navy had a huge appetite. He had just finished chewing a whole roasted seabird and threw the bones into the bonfire.
Although he is already quite old, his face and forehead are covered with the vicissitudes of time, and he even has a lot of gray hair, but his eyes are still as sharp as an osprey.
The strong muscles and thick joints of his body prove that he is still a formidable and powerful warrior.
Among them, there is a magic scimitar hanging on the waist and two powerful revolvers customized by dwarf engineers, which enable it not only to fight in close combat, but also to carry out long-range attacks.
Especially for the traditional project in naval battles - jumping gangs to seize ships, short guns like this can often play a huge role.
A single salvo after docking can kill or injure more than a quarter or more of the enemies gathered on the deck.
This can be seen from the fact that almost every sailor and soldier in the entire Kul Tiran fleet is wearing at least one short gun.
This is the result of the spread of revolvers that can be fired multiple times.
Prior to this, many people would even choose to equip more than four flintlock pistols in order to gain an advantage in gang-hopping battles, so that they could pull them out at any time and fire a shot at nearby opponents.
After filling her stomach, Dai Lin raised the wine bottle and drank all the remaining wine. Then she asked the adjutant beside her with a smile: "My friend, do you think those orcs relied solely on hunting after losing all their fishing boats?
How long will food grown and collected last?”
The latter lowered his head and thought for a moment, then quickly replied: "I don't think it will be more than a month at most.
Because when they robbed Alliance ships from the Eastern Continent and crossed the Endless Sea to reach Kalimdor, they didn't have much food reserves.
It is estimated that after landing, they relied on hunting and robbing to obtain supplies.
This means that before settling down, the orcs were always in a state of running out of food at any time.
Although they later settled in Azshara and used the rich hunting grounds and fishing resources to obtain sufficient food, it did not last long.
It is quite difficult to hold on for a month after the coastline is blocked.
After all, compared to fishing, the food available through hunting is too limited.
As for the output of breeding, it needs enough time to settle to remain stable.
And the orcs simply don’t have that much time.”
"That is to say, in a month at most, we can enjoy watching these beasts killing each other, right?"
While saying this, Dai Lin casually smashed the empty wine bottle onto the rocks in the distance, making a loud sound of broken glass.
"Yes, sir. Then we will be able to complete divine revenge for your son and the innocent civilians who died tragically at the hands of the orcs, and make these damn bastards disappear from our world forever."
The adjutant replied in the affirmative in a decisive tone.
Obviously, the reason why the Kul Tiras fleet has not chosen to land so far is not because they are afraid of a head-on battle with the orcs, but because they are waiting for the enemy to erupt in large-scale civil strife due to lack of food.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Until then, it is the best time for them to go ashore and drive out all the orcs.
As a leader who has participated in two orc wars, Dai Lin knows how terrifying these violent monsters from the world of Draenor are on the front battlefield, so she will never take risks with these experienced naval officers.
.
Because the navy in the era of sailing battleships had the highest technical content among all arms at the same time, it required the longest time to train and cultivate, and it was also the most expensive.
It takes at least several years or even more than ten years for Kul Tiras to cultivate an excellent sailor and ship commander.
During this period, they have to learn a large number of highly professional skills and knowledge, and sail on the ship as trainees to fight against pirates, naga, murlocs, sea monsters and other enemies.
A little carelessness can lead to death.
Therefore, every sailor and officer with sufficient experience is the most valuable asset.
As long as these people remain, the maritime power of Kul Tiras will never decline.
Letting them fight the orcs is basically equivalent to exchanging high-level technicians for assembly line workers. It is simply an outright crime.
Dai Lin obviously knew this very well, so throughout his life the battles were basically completed at sea.
Very few would choose to go ashore to fight the enemy desperately.
Even in landing operations, they often avoid the enemy's main force and use the speed of the fleet to attack the long coastline, making the opponent more and more tired as they continue to put out fires.
The decisive blow will not be launched until the target reveals its fatal weakness.
So even though Dai Lin's inner hatred for the orcs had long turned into some kind of strong paranoia, she did not lose her mind because of it.
Quite the opposite!
The closer he was to the goal of completely destroying the orcs, the more calm and cautious his mind became, fearing that his recklessness and impulsiveness would ruin a good situation.
Just as the naval commander squinted his eyes and stared at the calm sea in the distance and the ships docked in the bay, silently thinking about what strategies and actions to take next to further oppress the enemy, suddenly in the woods behind him
There was a cry of terror, followed by many sailors and officers sitting in front of the campfire who stood up and drew their swords or pistols.
Since the sky had completely darkened at this time, it was impossible to see what was going on in the woods. I could only vaguely hear someone screaming, and there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting.
At first, Dai Lin thought she was being attacked by sporadic beasts, murlocs or naga, and didn't take it too seriously.
After all, it is so common for similar situations to occur on such an uninhabited desert island, and it is not worth making a fuss about.
Officers are quick to respond and organize people to neutralize threats.
But it was only a few minutes later that he realized something was not right.
Because everyone who enters the forest never comes out again.
The nearest bonfires were empty, and at least a hundred people had just mysteriously disappeared out of thin air.
At this moment, no matter how stupid Dai Lin is, she understands that this is definitely not a sporadic accident, but a 100% premeditated attack.
So without saying a word, he immediately pulled out his beloved scimitar and led people straight towards the woods.
When I got a little closer, I immediately smelled a faint smell of blood.
An officer seemed to have discovered something and quickly rushed to the middle of the bushes and pulled out a body.
moment!
Everyone present involuntarily showed expressions of surprise and fear.
Because this corpse did not show any signs of being cut or stabbed by weapons, nor was it bitten or eaten by wild beasts. There were only two holes in the carotid artery in the neck, and the skin on the body could not be seen.
