Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Chapter 277 Naval Prestige

Four new family members were added by accident, and the place to go next was very dangerous. Andrea asked Aurora and Leticia to return to Anakis first to help the four magic blades, one big, three small, and four The leopard has a new home.

Andrea himself took Shandris and Seres to Watch Island in the south of Azsuna, where they boarded the warship of the Navy's First Fleet that had already been prepared, and sailed all the way to Zandalar Island in the south.

Originally, Andrea didn't plan to set off on a warship with such a big fanfare, but considering the bad relationship between the Zandalari trolls and the night elves, just in case, he finally adopted the suggestion jointly put forward by Shandris and Seres.

Although the island of Zandalar has three relatively independent areas, the core area that the Zandalar trolls can control is only Zuldazar. The Nazmir Swamp in the north is the territory of the blood trolls, and the Voldun Forest in the west is the territory of the snakes. The homeland where humans and fox people have lived for generations.

Unlike the previous accidental trek, this trip to Zandalar was purposeful, and it was impossible to land all the way from Nazmir.

Walking around the island, we came with good intentions and landed directly from the port south of Zuldazar.

Commodore Darien Starchaser of the Navy's First Fleet was in charge of transporting the three of Andrea. He frowned when he heard the route chosen by Andrea.

Lord Andrea, please forgive me.

Dalyan is an admiral trained by the Moonlight City system, and he treats Andrea very respectfully.

It's okay, Brigadier General Dalyan, just speak up.

Yes, this subordinate is rude.

Dalyan drew a circle around Zandalar Island on the sea chart, After thousands of years of development, the Zandalari trolls already have a navy with good combat effectiveness, and they often patrol around the island.

If we sail around the island swaggeringly, we may encounter the Zandalari navy. In case of conflict with them...

The last time Andrea accidentally strayed to Zandalar, it happened to be in a storm. No fool would send a ship out to patrol in that kind of weather.

But this time is different, the sea is calm, and the Zandalar patrol fleet is likely to be conducting routine patrols around the island. Dalyan's worries are not unreasonable.

If I encounter Zandalar patrol warships, I will try my best to reason with them, but I really don't listen...

Andrea raised his eyebrows and said, You know what I mean, just don't attack too hard.

The navy of the Dark Night Republic is no longer what it used to be. The Second Fleet is far away from the ship factory and research and development department of Moon Night City, and it has not yet replaced all its personnel with the latest ships.

But the headquarters of the First Fleet of the Navy is located in Yuyue Port in Moonlight City, and all the latest naval weapons and equipment are first installed on the First Fleet.

The fleet that escorted Andrea to Zandalar consisted of only five ships, but these warships were all metal-built hulls.

The boat completely abandoned the traditional sail power, and was powered by a magic power furnace, powered by a propeller buried deep under the hull.

The Moonlight Front-class warship has a total length of 185 meters and a full-load displacement of 14,000 tons. The core armor area has been strengthened by enchanters, and its strength is astonishing.

The armament system of the hull adopts a central axis layout. There are five triple-mounted 155mm caliber magic guide guns, four 128mm caliber secondary guns, and various other small caliber secondary guns.

According to the standards of warships on Earth, these five ships are all light cruiser class.

However, Andrea originally did not intend to build a battleship that consumes a lot of steel and manpower at one time. Considering the problems that may be encountered when going to Zandalar, a light cruiser with strong mobility is just right.

Even if it was just a light cruiser, Andrea believed that this squadron of the First Fleet was not something the Zandalari trolls' galleons could handle.

...

The age of great voyages sounds exciting, but in fact life at sea is very boring.

The Moonlit Front-class warships are out-and-out warships, and it is impossible to have too many entertainment functions that civilian ships like to carry on board.

Fortunately, it was not the first time for Shandris and Celes to go to sea. This time they were on business, so the boredom was tolerable.

According to the chart, the fleet arrived at Nazmir first, and continued south along the eastern coast of this swamp. On the way, it was accidentally attacked by a blood troll throwing a spear near the Nazwasa Pyramid.

Andrea suspected that this group of psychopaths didn't even know what the big iron blocks floating over from the sea were. They were used to Nazmir and thought they were number one in the world under the protection of Gouhu.

For this group of idiots who dare to take the initiative to provoke, Andrea will naturally not be polite to them.

Under the command of Brigadier General Dalyan, the five warships slowed down at the same time, turned their guns and fired at the group of blood trolls jumping up and down.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of the magic cannon's firing was not as loud as that of the gunpowder weapon, but the sudden series of cannon shots still startled the blood troll on the shore.

Then the flowering bombs that landed immediately blew up this group of ignorant primitives. After two salvos from the main guns washed the ground, the only blood trolls standing near Nazwasa were two or three kittens.

They looked up in a daze, and they were surrounded by the mutilated and incomplete corpses of their compatriots. The blood all over the ground was very in line with the meaning of the blood god Gouhu.

Leave them alone and continue sailing.

The few blood trolls who survived by chance were obviously frightened. Brigadier General Dalyan was too lazy to waste shells, and immediately ordered the anchor to move on.

Coincidentally, this scene happened to be watched in its entirety by Loakagwa, a frog in the south of Nazwasa.

Not good, not good.

The simple and honest Kagwa looked solemn, and it took a while to look down at the troll priest at his feet.

Naduri, first convey this news to your clansmen. I suspect that this group of big iron hunks is not kind.

Yes, honorable Kragwa.

...

Steel Fleet?

The golden throne at the top of Dazar'alor, Samiro, the current king of Zandalari, is a little unbelievable. The news reported to him by Naduli, the chief priest of Kragwa, makes him feel like he is listening to the scriptures.

The members of the Zanchuli Council did not have the city of Samilor, and two of them immediately sneered.

Naduri, are you confused or dazzled? How can steel float on the sea?

Naduri retorted angrily, I'm not the only one who saw it, Loa Kagwa also saw it with his own eyes, don't you doubt Loa's judgment!

This...maybe Kagwa has misread it?

enough!

The leader of the Zanchuli Council, the Prophet Tatanarai waved his hand to stop the members from questioning.

Whether it's true or not, we all need to be more vigilant.

God King Samiro asked, Prophet, did you foresee the disaster?

As soon as Samiro's words came out, all the members of the Zanchuli Council fell silent, and everyone looked at the Prophet Tatanalai.

Not really.

Tatanale said with some doubts, The future I foresee is rather vague, and I can't tell whether it is a blessing or a curse. In short, we'd better treat this information with caution.

Samiro lowered his head and thought for a while, Prophet, this fleet has not concealed its sailing route, and they are likely to land in the south of Zuldazar.

Please go to Zandalar Port yourself to find out their true intentions. I need your wisdom.

Tatanalai saluted respectfully, As you wish, Your Majesty the God King.
