Dawn of the Grey Tower

There are always signs at the beginning of the war, which are often difficult to detect, but they cannot be denied. And many times, even experienced generals cannot distinguish this fatal sign from subtle anomalies. Only a few years later, when war has become history and history has become a story, people sing in taverns Only in this story did I realize what the slight wave represented. So the audience will pat their thighs and sigh that if they are themselves, they will be able to accurately find the symptoms that others have ignored, so as to become a hero of war and change the history that has not changed. But the truth is, who cares about the ripples on the side of the ship when the gray mist hits them?

"Captain! Banner!" The watchman at the top of the mast shouted towards Halfdan, who immediately opened the telescope in the direction pointed to by the other side, which was the right wing of the fleet and was part of the pirates. It stands to reason that pirates are the most combative group on the sea except regular soldiers, and should be given a heavy responsibility. But their poor discipline and bad character, plus every serious sailor has been more or less hurt by these guys, these factors combined to let the captains dispel the idea of ​​mixing the pirate ship into the fleet, and turned Let them form the right wing, pseudonymously called to gather the fighting power and become the fangs of the fleet. But who would have thought that this beast named Fleet was smashed by the opponent's teeth before the battle.

It's been a while since the fog has really spread, and Wangwang is still playing its role. The captain of the Black Arrow saw through the lens the situation that occurred on the right wing of the fleet. Some chaotic flags swayed in the wind on the mast of the pirate ship. The small colored flags that were tied together in a bunch were originally used as a slogan for the exchange of information between ships. However, it is obvious that pirates do not often use these things. That ’s right, there is no real pirate in the Lost Bay because it is not conducive to the rule of the Witches, so most pirate ships are independent operations, and few of them will have better relations, at least on the surface. , The captain cooperated in the cooperation. But even so, they rarely use flags, so when these pirates scrambled to raise the tattered flags that had been bitten by mice for a long time, few people could understand what these guys wanted to express.

However, the crew of the Black Arrow are all sailors who have been in the water for a long time like their captain. They not only understand this water but also understand the ships carried on it. The first thing to be sure is that these pirate ships are not celebrating, so what else might they mean? It is self-evident. "Semaphore! Inform all ships that our starboard side has been attacked!" Haddan's order was quickly implemented, and the black arrow in the middle had the responsibility of being the flagship. The correct slogan quickly spread among the ships. Come.

"Captain, the Blue Parrot asked us what to do? Do you support it?" The watchman translated the semaphore and quickly conveyed information from other ships.

Halfdan's brows were very tight. His eyes were on the three witches' warships ahead. He did not believe that the witches would know that the fleet's right wing had been attacked, but the other party showed no signs of action. Don't you want to control this tentative attack? Or did the witches not care about the casualties of this fleet? In any case, Halfdan did not think that it would be easy to win this war by relying on three weird giant ships, so after thinking for a moment, he issued the order, "Let the ships outside help, the ships inside Get closer to form a line of defense! "

Haddan ’s decision was not incorrect, because of the characteristics of the pirates, the formation of the fleet ’s right wing itself was relatively loose, and the closer to the center, the smoother the cooperation between the ships. The captain suspected that the right wing was attacked because of this. Those Krakens hope to use the loose formation to break the ships on the edge of the ship if they are not found. But they are too anxious. If such a tactic waits until the dense fog hits, no, it only needs a layer of mist to greatly extend the discovery time of the human side. In this case, as long as the central ship immediately initiates reinforcements, those fishmen cannot take advantage of it.

As expected, shortly after the reinforcement instruction was issued, the watchman brought news that the right wing was safe. The crew on the Black Arrow sighed a little, and the feeling of having to wait for the result was really uncomfortable. Halfdan touched his beard and used this slight pain to stimulate himself to be awake. As the captain of the flagship of the fleet, he must keep this awake to cope with the next situation. "Let the right wing contract and report casualties. After being taught by the Murlocs, those guys should be able to obey and command some."

But at this moment, "Captain! The fleet is under attack!" "Is the right wing? Those murlocs are back?" "No! This time is the left wing!"

Left? A view of the fleet emerged from Hafdan's mind. There are about 60 ships sailing from the Heart of Lost Bay. This number is quite terrible, but there are not many ships with real combat capabilities. Although most of the merchant ships are in good condition, they can only be used as transportation for loading sailors. The ship comes to use, and there are no weapons such as ballistas and harpoons that can threaten the sea monsters underwater. Therefore, in addition to pirate ships, most of the ships that make up the left wing of the fleet are large fishing vessels. The nets on these ships can greatly hinder underwater targets. The Krakens are quite unwise to attack these ships.

"Let the left wing resolve itself, and the nearby ships provide support as appropriate." Haddan Shen Sheng said, his telescope turned to the left. Sure enough, except for the faint cries, the ships over there could not see any obvious signs of disturbance. . But what is the other party doing? If they are trying to cause trouble to the fleet, they need not be so anxious at all. Even if they are so arrogant that they want to solve human forces outside the dense fog, they should not adopt this method to divide their fighters into two ways to carry out this kind of harassment with little effect. Perhaps, these Krakens want to find the weak point of the fleet? There is a very reasonable guess, but if they really think that the right wing will be the weakness of the fleet, they are wrong. Although the fishing boat is more suitable to deal with the sea monster's offense than the pirate ship, the pirates' insidious and cunning fighting style is destined to persevere in the sea monster's attack.

"Captain! The rear of the fleet is under attack! Captain! We are under attack around us!" The look of the watchman's voice was about to shout. But he didn't need his shouting so loudly, the other crew members also noticed the silhouettes climbing up on the outer walls of the surrounding ships. Those Krakens had daggers in their mouths, and their limbs, like geckos, tried to climb from the sides of the ship to the deck.

"Protect the deck! Provide cover shots to both sides!" Halfdan did not hesitate ~ www.readwn.com ~ said immediately. The sailor, who had already rubbed his hands, withdrew his scimitar, and the other part understood the use of bows and arrows, then took over the arrows and shot the sea monsters on the outer walls of the ships on both sides from above. For a while, all aspects of the entire fleet fell into a similar state.

No, there is something wrong. Halfdan clenched the steering wheel with both hands and looked at the front. This attack was completely different from what he had imagined. The Kraken's offensive came too fast and the range was too wide, but their attack strength was too weak. Weak enough to need little help, each ship has the ability to solve the invading enemies alone, and at this time the right wing also received information, they did not suffer much loss, but all the Krakens on the deck died.

"Bang!" The sound of the flesh hitting the deck recalled the captain's thoughts. He saw the first officer carrying a Kraken's neck, threw it heavily on the deck, and then stabbed him into the opponent's chest. The sea The demon struggled twice and there was no movement. Too smooth, this should not be the state that a confident opponent who wants to wipe out the entire Gulf of Frustration in one fell swoop should have. Wait, status? Halfdan turned his gaze to the corpse on the deck again. The Kraken was very thin, without any armor, the scales were bleak, and his weapon was only a simple ridiculous fishbone dagger. These guys are not real enemies. They are death squads. They are cannon fodder used to spy on intelligence and consume opponents' power. So the question is, what do the people who sent these cannonballs want to know?
