Brian looked at the old fish man in front of him, looking a little at a loss.
He also did not expect that those fishmen would come back after escaping. At this time, thousands of fishmen were lurking under the water with half of their heads exposed. Only the old fishman came to talk to Brian with two fishmen.
The reason why Brian was at a loss was that he didn't know the language of the murlocs at all.
Dwarves are a race with very high language talents. As great explorers, Brian Bronzebeard and his brother Muradin Bronzebeard have mastered as many as 8 languages. They even recently learned Orc language.
But Brian, who was so knowledgeable, could not talk to the fish-man, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Brian tried to use low-level common language to talk to the other party, but all he got in exchange was the other party making whining noises.
Helpless, Brian turned around and yelled at the group of explorers.
"Which of you understands fish-man language?!"
…
It is probably the first time in the history of Azeroth that the murlocs took the initiative to contact other intelligent races.
When he received the report, Li De, who was checking the progress of Theramore, was also surprised. After thinking about it, he decided to ride the Manticore and go to the scene to have a look.
After arriving at the scene, Li De was immediately glad that he had come. There were so many outstanding adventurers, all scratching their heads and getting anxious at this moment. At this time, Krasus, who arrived here yesterday, was standing in front of the fish-man wise man.
Talking and gesticulating.
Just looking at the appearance of the fish-man wise man, it was obvious that Krasus and he were on the same page. At this time, the fish-man wise man was already very impatient, and the fish-men staying in the water were also restless.
Although the Vast Sea Protector was so powerful that he didn't care about these murlocs, no one wanted to participate in an inexplicable conflict.
"Prince, are you here too?"
The two of them nodded and greeted each other, and Krasus showed a helpless expression on his face. Obviously, in front of this magical race of fishmen, the red dragon prince, who was knowledgeable about the past and the present, was helpless.
But no one expected that Li De walked up to the fish-man wise man and exhaled a series of tongue sounds:
"Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..."
The purest fish-man language came out of Li De's mouth. The fish-man wise man jumped twice in excitement. Krasus, Brian and everyone else had their eyes widened and looked at Li De in disbelief.
.
Li De couldn't remember how long it had been since he had gained such a simple sense of pride, and it was worthy of having wasted so much time learning such a "useless" skill.
After chatting with the fish-man wise man for a long time, everyone noticed that Li De changed his expression several times, and the fish-man wise man's voice also rose and fell.
Finally, the fish-man wise man bowed slightly towards Li De, and the light above her anglerfish flashed twice. After that, the fish-man wise man turned around and gave orders to the fish-men in the sea, and those fish-men immediately
Disappeared under the sea.
"What did the fish man say?"
Everyone gathered around and asked, Li De's expression looked solemn.
"The wise fishman I was talking to asked us to agree to build a new village in Dustwallow Swamp. Of course, more importantly, she told me the reason for leaving Orkaz Island:
That group of goblins not only occupied the land on the island, but also occupied the seabed there, driving away the fish that lived in that sea area. This group of fishmen completely lost their source of survival and could only try their luck here."
Everyone understood what Li De said, but they didn't understand it completely.
"How come the seabed is occupied?"
In fact, not only everyone, but also Li De himself found it unbelievable and needed to wait a moment before explaining it clearly to everyone.
To tell this story from the perspective of a murloc, we need to start with the naval battle between Kul Tiras and Kezan some time ago. The Kezan fleet led by Grizlik suffered heavy losses in that naval battle, with more than ten ships
All the battleships sank to the bottom of the sea.
The fishmen have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. During the sea battle, these guys did not dare to approach, but after the sea battle, the fishmen wanted to try their luck at the sunken ship.
Whether it is the supplies on the ship or the corpses of the crew, it is a good harvest for the fishmen. Even the sunken ship itself can be dismantled into materials for building houses.
However, this time the fishmen will be disappointed, because these sunken ships are not prepared for them.
When the fish people arrived at the sunken ship, there was already a "man" who had already arrived first. It was a round steel guy with a propeller on the back of his butt that traveled underwater, and a pair of huge mechanical arms in front of it, which were dismantled with a crunch.
Catching a sunken ship.
The closed murlocs naturally do not understand what engineering is. On the contrary, many murlocs will worship some powerful aquatic animals. The huge submersible immediately frightened the murlocs and they did not dare to stay at the sunken ship anymore.
.
When talking about this, the quick-thinking people present had an ominous premonition. They realized the extremely abnormal actions of the Kezan fleet before, as if they were attacking specifically for the purpose of defeat!
Now it seems that this is the truth of the matter!
When Gazlowe retreated to Okaz Island, he brought a large amount of production equipment with him. If he had enough materials and energy, Gazlowe could still manufacture weapons and machinery!
How could they have thought that Kezan would be so courageous and willing to sink a ship to deliver materials to Gazlowe?!
And then, according to what the wise fishman said, other steel sea monsters appeared underwater on Okaz Island, and they were bigger than what the fishman had seen at the sunken ship before!
It can only be said that God is not as good as man. Who would have thought that there would be coal on a desert island that Gazlowe encountered when he was desperate?!
In order to avoid the air raids of the Hanhai Protector, Gazlowe could only order his subordinates to desperately dig underground air raid shelters. During the digging process, they discovered a vein of coal with astonishing reserves.
The moment he discovered the coal mine, Gazlowe believed that he had the key to turning defeat into victory in this war. He was glad that he did not use the goblin teleporter during the most difficult time.
This thing is not very mature yet, it can only perform one-way transmission, and its destination is only Kezan Island.
Gazlowe sent a messenger to report to the Six Kings of Kozan about the coal on Okaz Island, and proposed a plan to break through the blockade of Kul Tiras.
Kezan does not have the ability to defeat the Kul Tiras fleet on the sea. There is a design for an underwater ship in Gazlowe. Now that he has energy in his hands, as long as he has enough materials, he is confident to build a fleet that can defeat the fleet.
Kul Tiras' underwater troops.
In this way, Kezan made a huge gamble and exchanged ten active battleships for the three submarines Gazlowe mentioned and coal from Okaz Island.
After the dwarf cut off the coal supply, Kezan has been relying on inventory to support himself. Now there is not much inventory left, so even if it is for coal, Kezan must agree to this big gamble!
