On the third morning of the third day of Anne's return to the Azeroth world, in the reef sea west of the Stranglethorn Valley, the little Goblin Pirates' part-time arena administrator John Misrell's fleet was wandering slowly across the sea.
"Gogun! If I remember correctly, we have been out for one night, but your fleet is still circling around this sea area, saying! Why did you slow down the ship so slowly? Are you making any wrong ideas?!"
"Or, do you think we've never been on a sea boat, so it's easy to fool?"
The female elf Farana looked coldly at this greedy and cunning guy who could have dominated their lives and death before, but now she has become a greedy and cunning guy who has captured them.
"Don't blame me for not warning you: if you can't arrive in the western wilderness on schedule, once the date is delayed, without Her Majesty the Queen of Fire, I can nail you to this mast with one arrow!"
Yesterday morning, the high elf Farana, the dwarf Davar of Eagle Nest Hill and his animal companion Fatty, escorted their captives, and the large group of pirates and several orcs headed north from the Gula Bash Arena, and in the afternoon, they arrived at the estuary of Lake Nafirigen and took the goblin pirates who had already finished loading from the venture capital company camp and were docking on the shore.
They were going to follow the fleet that escorted the supplies to the western wilderness to pick up Vanessa Van Cliff in the western wilderness, according to their Majesty Queen Anne's words: Since they are fighting our northern continent and still shooting that egg in the outer world, then we will fight their western wilderness and Stormwind City in turn, let's see if they are afraid!
But now, all night has passed. Farana woke up early in the morning and was surprised to find that their fleet was still slowly moving around in this sea area, and even the sails were only one side. These goblins seemed to have a passive plan to slackew.
So, in anger, she pressed the Ranger's sword around her waist and directly found the captain of the fleet, this small goblin John Misriel, in a questioning tone.
She had been riding in the Navy ship of Quel'thalas, but she was not unfamiliar with sailing. Compared with the high-speed ships of the magic sails of Quel'thalas, these small and medium-sized sail warships of the goblin pirates were crawling at the speed of a turtle, which made her very dissatisfied!
"Beautiful Ms. Falana, please be calm first... You are wronged by the young man. Even if you give the young man a hundred courages, the young man dare not make any wrong ideas!"
When the goblin heard the other party's words, he became furious on the spot and even cursed and swore.
"The reason our fleet is slow is mainly because it is the most dangerous area near Stranglethorn Valley - the Reef Sea!"
"Look, have you seen the reefs hidden in the waves outside? In addition to the small part exposed on the sea, there are countless hidden under the sea. You should know what they are, right? If our boat accidentally hits the bottom... then we will be finished!"
"Because of this, we must now follow the secret channel we have determined long ago and move it out from here little by little... Not only can we not be fast, but we must also carefully find out the correct route. We must never take the wrong channel half a step, otherwise... we will sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fishman!"
"Please believe me. The fishmen here are definitely not those in your Flame Alliance. They will definitely not be merciless just because you are from the north."
Actually, the little goblin pirate John Misrell, he wants to reach the Western Bay sooner than anyone else!
For, the evil little flame witch branded a terrible flame rune on the backs of all their goblins and orc captives, using it as a deterrent to restrict and command them!
Yesterday, a few lucky goblins were planning to escape or tear off the skin on the back of their hands! Then... I don’t know what mechanism triggered this rune. Anyway, in the end, their bold and arrogant guys were instantly burned to ashes by the fiery red magic flames that suddenly rose from the back of their hands, or the kind that didn’t even have the residue left!
Therefore, after the fire burned out the bird, John Misrell and other orcs were honestly following the instructions of the female elf and the dwarf, and were doing their work carefully, for fear that they would be burned to ashes accidentally.
"snort……"
After frowning and looking at the surrounding waters, Falana, a lieutenant of the Rangers in the Farrier Army, her sharp eyes could easily see the hideous coral reefs and fishmen from the rugged waves of the sea from far and near! Obviously, the words of the goblins are not an excuse. They are now in a dangerous sea area. If they are not careful, they will really destroy the ship and die.
"Then tell me, how long will it take for us to successfully leave this sea area? How long will it take to reach the western wilderness?"
So, after thinking about it in her heart, Falana felt that she shouldn't be making things difficult for the other person here, so she slowed down and began to ask about the sailing schedule she was most concerned about.
"You also saw that the reef sea is very wide, and there is a large area nearby that is dangerous, that is, we. If it were other pirates or fleets, no one would dare to drive a big ship here casually. It would take some time..."
"Okay... don't worry, I think... it will take about a week to completely get out of this sea area! Then... spend another week around the Savage Coast and Yuyamba Island in the north... Because there are some Zudanya Trolls who use small speedboats to shuttle back and forth, specifically attacking passing ships! The guys are just troublesome things! You may not know that they not only rob ships, money, supplies, but even corpses will not be spared... Anyway, you definitely don't want to deal with those trolls who can eat people, and I don't want to!"
"Next..."
"It will be simple until we bypass Yuyamba Island... At that time, we only need to avoid the Western wilderness lighthouse and not be discovered by Captain Grisson there! As for the navy of Stormwind... then there is no need to worry at all! They only have a few small broken ships, and now most of them have been dispatched to the north to counterattack your Lordaeron continent. The rest of those will definitely not dare to come to trouble me, Mr. John Misriel!"
Speaking of this, Goblin John Misrell laughed proudly!
He could see that with the current financial situation of Stormwind City, the navy of Stormwind City Kingdom will not be too climate-sharing within the next ten or eight years. Therefore, in this sea area, for a long time to come, the pirates who come and go on the sea will have the final say!
Those guys from Stormwind City, those small broken ships, and there were not even a few cannons, so they could only patrol and attack those unlucky smugglers in the near coast.
"So, please don't be too anxious. Dear Ms. Farana... At the latest at the end of this month, we can land somewhere in the beach in the Dimont wilderness! By then, you can join the thugs of the New Defia Brotherhood who came to pick up... Oh, it was the rebels who have been heading west to that Yuexi Town!"
John Misrell had already done it. The trip took about three weeks and should not exceed one month! This time is normal for the goblin pirates who have been living on the sea for many years.
"Hmph! Then you guys should be as soon as possible, I don't know you dare to play any tricks!"
After listening for a while, Falana, who felt that what the other party was saying was reasonable and well-founded, after thinking about it seriously, she gave up her previous plan to order the other party to speed up. Instead, she snorted and walked to the other side, restrained the flames on her body, and was lying beside the two-headed hellhound fat man on a fire blanket and Davall.
“Throm-Ka…”
"My old friend John Misrell...you also saw that they are actually only two people and one dog now, and their strength is not very good. Haven't you ever thought about trying to resist?"
After the female elf left, the orc Shaman Regal, the guy who had changed from a slave owner to a prisoner, was a little reluctant to move to the goblin acquaintance John Misrell and fooled him.
Thinking about Raygar, a high-ranking shaman and veteran in the orc tribe, he was now arrested and captured by a little girl in a broken place in Stranglethorn Valley and ordered to obey the orders under the two men. He was actually very dissatisfied!
And now, the little girl, who was said to have already run to the Land of Flame to deal with a bad guy named Big Screw earlier today?
Although I don’t understand what the big screw meant by the little girl just now, what Rajal understood was: Now, the little girl is not here, she has already run back to the land of flames! Moreover, it is a fire element plane near the world of Azeroth. Rajal believes that the other party should not come back in a short time, even if he really comes back, he will not be able to find them easily. After all, they are now on the vast sea!
So, he felt that their opportunity seemed to have come...
"You said you resist..."
"Of course there is no problem, I even dreamed of it! Actually, I had long wanted to remove the domineering female elf from a big piece, and then throw the stupid dog that might burn my flagship at any time to feed the fishman or shark!"
"It's just...my dear old guy, as a powerful shaman, please tell me some good news: you must have found a way to erase this flame rune. Am I right?!"
After hearing the words of the orc Raygar, the little goblin turned over with a trembling look, and looked up at the other party's eyes with anticipation, hoping to get an answer that satisfies him.
To be honest, in terms of his ability to fight alone, John Misrell is not small, but he can guarantee that, except for the lava double-headed dog, neither the female elf ranger nor the other dwarf musketeer will be his small opponent.
Even if he hits each other alone, it wouldn't be a big problem!
But... the little girl, the magician, the guardians he used on the back of his hand made him feel a little cowardly. Once he became cowardly, he would lose all his energy... and he would have no courage to fight to the death and resist the two people in the distance.
"You mean the method..."
"I'm sorry, there is no way to erase this mark yet... It probably won't work if you peel it off... It seems to be directly imprinted in the deepest part of the entire palm... So, I think if the whole palm is cut off, although this rune will be instantly activated, it may not burn the entire body?"
In fact, Raygar was not sure about this method. He vaguely felt that this small rune did not seem to be branded on the back of his hand, but seemed to be branded on the palm of the entire soul?
If this is true, it will be a big trouble!
As a powerful shaman who joined the Ring of Earth, Raygar, who is committed to the balance between the Elemental Spirit and the material world of Azeroth, has actually studied the matter of souls! Therefore, he vaguely saw the function and basic principles of this rune, but... he didn't dare to try it very much, nor did he dare to let his men take risks!
Therefore, this goblin has become the best target of fooling around in front of him!
Who asked this damn little man John Misrell to invite Raygar to the Gula Bash Arena in Stranglethorn Valley, and said that there was a profitable deal to cooperate with him... But what happened? Not only did it not get the money, she took all her own money in, and maybe she would lose her life in the future.
choke!!
After looking at the female elf and the male dwarf in the distance, the small John Misrell pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and then, in the surprised and somewhat anticipated gaze, the other party handed him the dagger with a strange light.
“??”
When he opened his mouth, Raegal was puzzled, so he threw a puzzled look at the goblin, thinking that it might be that the goblin dare not do it himself, and then he wanted him to help swing the sword?
"Rygar, my most trusted old guy..."
"I also think your method seems very good and should be feasible! So, why don't you try it first? I know that there seems to be a large tribe called the Broken Hand Clan in your orc tribe. The orc warriors there usually express their loyalty to the tribe in the form of breaking their left palms, and can they also enhance their status in the tribe?"
"So, you might as well try it yourself first. Even if you fail, there will be no loss, right?"
He handed the sharp dagger towards the other party's right hand, and John Misrell added innocently:
"Please rest assured that my dagger has excellent enchantment attributes, with sharpness and the characteristics of cutting off most hard objects. It can definitely be cut off with one knife and no pain, and I absolutely did not expose poison!"
After saying that, the small John Misrell also demonstrated that he pulled out a wooden axe with a wooden handle from a wooden barrel next to him. Then, with a light wave of a dagger, the thick wooden handle of the axe was cut into two pieces, and the fracture was very smooth!
“…”
"Forget it... You know, I was born in the rich Nagrand Plain since I was a child. Although something happened later, my clan was destroyed by ogres... But I was not actually a member of the Broken Hand clan and had little contact with them... So... I almost forgot that I seem to have some important things that need to be thought about again. John, you should be busy directing your fleet first, but don't hit the reef."
After seeing that he failed to fool this cunning goblin and the other party wanted to use his words to break his hand first, Raygar waved his hand awkwardly, pretending to be honest and honest, turned around and walked to the other side of the deck with a smile, and sat back with his men again.
"Ahhh! This old guy who didn't follow his kindness..."
After secretly spitting at the orc's back, goblin John Misrell took his exquisite enchanting dagger back into the velociraptor's skin scabbard on his waist with disdain.
Then, does this old guy really think he is easy to fool?
He had actually tried this method long ago!
After the terrible little girl left, he quietly caught an unlucky guy in the kitchen under the deck and forced himself to try it like this! However, the unlucky guy caught fire in an instant and almost affected them!
Otherwise, would he, John Misrell, still be so honest and obedient now?
———
The Land of Fire, originally a molten fire field cast by Titans, specifically used to imprison Ragnaros and his lawless fire element minions, or in other words, this is the fire element plane of Azeroth and the fire demon king Ragnaros?
Of course, these are not important now.
Because, this place, several years ago, had nothing to do with Ragnaros, the King of the Flame Demon.
It had long been taken advantage of the opportunity of Ragnaros running to Azeroth to lively and not at home, and secretly forcibly occupying the place. In addition to a neutral and ancient elemental creature, Lord Leolis, it also killed all the fire elemental creatures loyal to Ragnaros, without leaving any of them...
At that time, Shannkox, the chief general of the Fire Demon, went to do this matter with the title of Queen of Fire. Anyway, anyone who opposes him Shannkox must be opposed to Queen of Fire, and it should be cleaned up!
So, now the Land of Fire is actually the private territory of a little girl. Except for the slippery Lord Leolis, all the fire elements have been sworn in the witness of magic and have sworn allegiance to their new master, the Queen of Fire, Anne!
Because they thought at that time that Ragnaros probably couldn't go back anyway, and it didn't matter who he was loyal to! Yes, most of their elemental creatures thought so at that time.
However, recently, a guy they least want to see frequently touched the space barriers of the Fire Land, which scared Shannox General Manager to withdraw all the main forces of the Fire Elemental Legion back.
These fire elements loyal to the new queen are intended to strictly guard and defend the land of flames...
"traitor!!!"
"Shannox, you shameless traitor! You really dare to steal my flame land with outsiders? And now, you dare to block my arrival?"
In this square in front of the Siflon Bridge in Siflon Castle, Shannox, the fire demon general manager, is leading countless high-level and above fire element elites and a large number of pure-blooded fire eagles with the power of fire element to repair a small space barrier that was forcibly torn apart by the King of Fire Demon Ragnaros, the King of Fire Demon.
They have to do this now!
Because at this time, Ragnaros' huge hands had successfully tear open a hole as big as his head, allowing his hot and bright white flamed head to peek into the specific situation inside the flame land from the outside of the space gap.
Then, when Ragnaros saw that in this familiar earthly calamity square, there were countless fire eagles and lava burner who were commanded by the traitor Shannox, constantly using the power of the fire element to try to repair the space gap he had worked hard and took nearly a year to break through the authority and use brute force, he shouted in anger, and then used both hands to force, intending to continue to tear the space barriers of the flame land!
The King of Flame Demon has decided that when the gap becomes large enough, he can force himself to return to the Land of Fire and kill all the traitors without leaving any of them!
“…”
"Hurry up and work hard! You don't have to worry about him now, just continue to release the power of fire element to the space barrier, and repair the Titan's protective measures as soon as possible. You must not let it come back!"
"Brothers, please rest assured that our power can be continuously replenished in the land of flames. On the contrary, the Ragnaros outside is now in the main material world of Azeroth, so he can only rely on long sleep to replenish the consumed power! So, as long as we survive this wave, he will give up when he is tired!"
Before meeting the new queen of their fire element, Shannox dreamed of destroying the fire element plane barrier of Titan and destroying this damn ten thousand-year project!
However, now it has to command countless fire demon spell casters and pure blood fire eagles, allowing them to continuously release the power of fire elements and feed back the space barriers of Titans, so that Ragnaros will not return to the land of flames so easily!
In order to maximize the protection of Titan's space barriers, he even temporarily closed the permanent portals leading to Azeroth's Flame City and the Flame Canyon. In doing so, Titan's protection measures can maximize the effect.
Shannox believes that as long as they survive this wave, once the outsider's appearance is not in good condition, Ragnaros will use up his strength, and the other party will have to spend at least hundreds of years to re-dorm! And such a long time is enough for him, Shannox to re-arrange the next defense work.
"You wait...Shannox...your doomsday is coming soon..."
After seeing that the other party continued to resist, and the space crack he tore out was actually traced to be gradually repaired by the other party, the former King of Flame Demons and now the bare-minded commander Ragnaros had to shut up and start working hard again, tearing the space crack that had just been repaired a little bit bigger.
Now they are fighting. If Ragnaros loses, he will return to the magma pool of the Molten Heart to sleep; and if Shannox loses, most of the fire elements in the Fireland may be affected!
"Bastard! This won't work!"
Seeing the actions of Ragnaros, the Fire Demon Chief Shannox sighed secretly.
Because he found that when Ragnaros tried his best to tear the space barrier, their repair speed could not keep up with the other party's tearing speed? If this continues, it will probably not take long before the other party can tear out enough space and return to the land of flames!
And once the other party really sets on this flame land full of fire elements again, then Shannox believes that even if the fire elements here are all added up, they are probably not the other party's opponent! After all, the title of the King of Fire Demon is not a joke!
So, Shannox understands that they need support now, and the Fire Element Lord with powerful fire element power will help repair the gap. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for them is the tragic end of the angry Ragnaros destroying the body and destroying the Fire Element Core!
Earlier, when he discovered that Ragnaros had vaguely broken through the space barrier today, he had already sent out his nephew to ask the fire demon hunter general Shatulu to go to the Anlesis Plateau on the Flame Mountains to find the Lord Leolis. He planned to use the opponent's ancient and powerful elemental power to resist the arrival of Ragnaros together, so that the success rate would be greater.
Now if you calculate the time, with the speed of the lava dog running and the speed of the other party rushing, Shatulu and the others should have come back...
Sure enough, just as Shannox was thinking this, he saw his nephew sitting on the back of a huge ancient melting dog and rushed into the square in a hurry.
"Sir, Master! Good news!"
"That Lord Leolis, he promised to help! Moreover, he also led a large group of unbounded embers and unbounded smoldering elements. I rushed back in advance to report the news. At most, they can arrive here in half an hour!"
After jumping off the back of the ancient melted dog, Shatulu dragged the snake's tail and rushed to Shannox's side quickly, reporting excitedly.
"Wait! What were you just talking about?"
"That Leolis... He did not come alone, but also led a large group of unbound ember lords and unbound smoldering elements? They are the new fire elements he has pinched in recent years!"
Shannox, who was about to be happy, suddenly realized something was wrong from the other party's words.
Because he knew that all he needed to rely on was the huge fire element power of Leolis, instead of asking him to bring those little fish to help fight! If he faced the existence of Ragnaros, even the elite lords of the ancient legend level like them would be useless, let alone those ordinary new fire elements!
Moreover, although their new elements have the title of Ember Lord on their heads, their strength is far from that of a big lord like them!
And now, the old guy, Lord Leolis, not only came by himself, but also brought so many fire elements. What exactly does the other party want to do?
"Yes! He brought at least tens of thousands, right? I don't have any statistics, but he should have brought most of them!"
Shatulu thought for a while and said with some uncertainty.
In the past, the fire elements under the Leolis were more, so many that they were almost flooding! Then, a few years ago, when the Azeroth people were fighting against the Burning Legion, the Grand Manager Shannox sold them all to the tribes and alliance guys as Queen Anne's wishes, making Leolis become a bare lord!
Now, as far as Shatulu knows, in several years, Leolis has only re-created the ember lords and smoldering elements, and his voice in the Land of Fire is no longer as good as before.
"Oops!!!"
"Hurry! Shatulu, immediately lead our elite Royal Fire Demon Guards and other fire elements that cannot be helped here, whether it is the ancient melted nuclear dog, the lava lord, or the hellhound, you will all bring them! Remember, I want you to stop that Leolis no matter what!"
"By the way, bring our elite lava walkers with you! If that Leolis dares to force himself to come over, you can attack directly without asking for instructions!"
I don't know if I had thought of something, Shannkox's already a little anxious face became even more ugly, and then he quickly sternly told his nephew.
"The chief manager...why is this?"
Shatulu didn't understand very well. He hurriedly went there before asking him to bring reinforcements!
Then, when he successfully brought in the rescue, his uncle wanted him to lead his troops to intercept Leolis. What was this going on? If he had known this, he might as well not find the old stone man! It also caused him to bump on the back of the ancient melted dog for a long time, and almost didn't lift the overnight dinner out.
The fire demons don’t have the cavalry as a troop, so it makes him feel uncomfortable to ride on the ancient melted nuclear dog!
"Hmph! That's because... that old bastard, Leolis, may want to attack us and welcome Ragnaros back!"
If the other party came here alone, Shannknox could think that the other party really wanted to help, but... if he was bringing a large army now, he would definitely have wanted to be inappropriate, which is absolutely true!
I regret it...
Shannox felt that a few years ago, when the opponent's inferior fire element army was exhausted, he should be stronger and lead his troops to kill the old guy who refused to sign the contract!
well……
Unfortunately, it's too late to think about this now...
"Why are you going quickly? Why are you still being stunned here?!"
After lamenting in his heart, he saw that his nephew was still corrupting here and did not move. Shannox was so angry that he threw it over with a whip!
"Oh! Master, please don't hit me... Oh! Are you still hit me? I'm your nephew!"
"No, no! Uncle, stop hitting me again, I'll go now, go immediately!"
After being whipped two times, Shatulu slowly reacted and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Afterwards, he looked at the countless lava burning walkers who were working hard to repair the gap in the square and the pure blood fire eagle that was breathing flame energy. He was so scared that he turned around and dispatched troops.
His uncle Shannox was right. Once the Leolis led his troops to attack their square, the spell ritual to repair the space barriers was interrupted, and the time for Ragnaros to descend to the Land of Fire again!
By then, what would Ragnaros, the king of the flame demon in his rage, do? Just thinking about it can make Shatulu feel scared...
By then, Shannox, the culprit, will definitely not be able to survive! And how can he, as the nephew of the chief executive, end up being better?
Sure enough, Shatulu seemed to understand the true intention of the damn Lord Leolis to attack them now. The other party... was definitely trying to show his loyalty to the coming Fire Demon King!
