Two hours later, Li De ended his interrogation of Gujar.
In order to ensure that this guy was completely honest during his imprisonment, Li De asked Niebuhr and three other shadow hunters to cast dozens of spells and curses on Cho'gall, depriving him of all spell-casting abilities before leaving him in this cabin.
He was held in solitary confinement.
After that, Reed invited Talanji and Lal to meet on the Dinghai and informed them of the news that Gul'dan was dead.
Talanji was okay, Ral had been paying attention to the battle reports on the eastern continent since the middle of the war, and Gul'dan was one of the few people who left a deep impression on him.
Especially when he learned that Gul'dan died of greed inexplicably, Lal felt even more absurd. Even high-ranking tribe officials like Gul'dan defected from the tribe. No matter what the reason was, it showed that he was not interested in Gul'dan.
Lost confidence in the war.
At this time, Li De didn't care to accompany Lal to express his emotions, but instead gave out a more important piece of information.
"I learned from Cho'gall that Orgrim has divided its forces again. He can't wait to capture Quel'Thalas with Zuljin, and with 17,000 troops, he moves westward to surprise Lordaeron."
After learning about this, Lal shook his head again and again. The initial strength of the tribal army was around 75,000 people. Now that the troops have been divided, Orgrim only has 20% of the strength left.
The situation on the entire battlefield has long been a success or failure for the Horde. The real core of the alliance is undoubtedly Commander Lothar. Even if Orgrim really takes over Lordaeron, what will happen?
"Protector Li De, which way should we go next?"
There are currently two roads before the coalition forces. One is to land at Nanhai Town in the Hillsbrad Hills, and the other is to continue heading north to Lordaeron.
"Of course it's Lordaeron. Since Orgrim has decided to attack Lordaeron by surprise, of course we should save the day and let King Terenas of Lordaeron accept a big favor.
Otherwise, what should I do if I land in the Hillsbrad Foothills and work so hard to the end that people still don’t appreciate me?”
There is a saying that Li De's strategy actually has certain risks. If Orgrim has already captured Lordaeron by the time they arrive, everything will be meaningless.
Therefore, soldiers are very fast, and they must get to Lordaeron as soon as possible. As for after arriving in Lordaeron, with more than a thousand people, how to deal with the Horde's army can only be done step by step.
Now Lal can only hope that the defenders of Lordaeron are strong enough to support them until they rush over. It is best that the Alliance will have troops to return to support by then, so that the interests of the alliance can be maximized.
Two ships were left behind to escort the prisoners from the other two ships, while the main force of the fleet headed towards Lordaeron at full speed.
Li De couldn't help but be a little distracted during the journey. If he hadn't yawed, he would have followed him to Lordaeron. He was promoted to a hero in the battle, and now he has become a famous general under Lothar. Of course, he may have died.
On the battlefield.
What Li De didn't expect was that before they could reach Lordaeron, they encountered another naval battle.
That was the eighth day they set to rescue Lordaeron. At this time, they would have one more day to reach Lordaeron, but just to the northwest of the mainland, in the waters near Tidal Island, two fleets were discovered.
There's a firefight going on!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and on this dark sea, a fierce battle was breaking out. The artillery fire from both sides of the war made the sky as bright as day.
What's even more shocking is that this is not a simple maritime battle. Both sides have invested in air combat troops. This is a three-dimensional battle involving sea and air coordination!
The Alliance dispatched eighteen destroyers, all of which were warships with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons. The total displacement of such a fleet was nearly 30,000 tons, and the lineup was quite luxurious.
In comparison, the combat power of the tribe was much shabby, with only seven two-masted sail warships, which was no match for them in terms of fleet level alone.
If we simply engage in a sea battle, the tribe will definitely lose, but in this three-dimensional coordinated sea and air battle, there are still seven giant dragons flying in the sky!
They belong to the Red Dragon Corps. The orc Dragonmaw Clan relied on an artifact to control the Red Dragon Queen. These dragons were forced to become the mounts of the orcs to help them fight.
Responsible for fighting against these orc dragon knights are dozens of griffin knights, who are Wildhammer dwarves from the Hinterlands. The Wildhammer dwarves partnered with the local griffons to form this powerful aerial force. It is
The Horde's invasion of the Hinterlands caused these Wildhammer dwarves to join the Alliance.
The gryphon is much smaller than the giant dragon, so it is definitely not an opponent in a head-on confrontation. However, the griffon has far greater flexibility than the giant dragon. With its numerical advantage, it can barely fight.
In order to assist the Griffin Knights, the Alliance fleet had to detach several ships to provide artillery support.
However, their artillery did not pose much threat to the dragon. On the contrary, several warships suffered serious damage under the dragon's breath!
Every time the red dragon breathes flames, it will take away the lives of more than a dozen soldiers on the deck! At the same time, it will cause a fire on the ship!
The Wildhammer Griffin Knight waved his war hammer and used elemental magic lightning to strike at the orc knights on the back of the red dragon. However, these orcs were all experienced and could easily control the dragon to dodge the attack.
The Wildhammer Knight's elemental magic can only slow down the dragon's destruction of ships.
Faced with such a fierce battle, Lal sent a signal to Li De on his ship and asked what to do. Li De did not rush to reply, but called Nix.
"Can the artillery on our ship deal with those dragons?!"
Goblin Engineer Nix gave Li De a thumbs up.
"The goblin technology is mind-blowing! Our main guns have no problem dealing with the dragon!"
After getting the accurate answer, Li De ordered to send a signal to Lal:
'You are providing fire cover from the rear while the Dinghai goes out to join the battle!'
At the same time, Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore of the Alliance's Kul Tiras fleet was looking sad on the deck of the flagship.
He is the naval commander of Kul Tiras and the king of a country. In this war, the battle on land has already determined the victory. Since he is only responsible for cleaning up the remaining tribes at sea, he only leads the third fleet to carry out the mission.
.But who would have expected to encounter such a powerful enemy?
What's even more terrible is that in this operation, he had the mentality of training his successor, and he also brought his young eldest son Derek Proudmoore with him. The current fierce battle made him extremely worried about his son's life.
But Dai Lin has an extremely firm will to fight. He believes that with his excellent command, he will definitely win this battle.
"Marshal, an unknown fleet appears at 9 o'clock in the southwest."
At this moment, the sailor on the mast who was responsible for the observation shouted at the top of his lungs. The fierce gunfire required him to speak loudly so that Dailin could hear him.
Dai Lin hurriedly opened the telescope and looked over, and soon discovered the fleet that his subordinates were talking about. With decades of rich experience on the sea, Dai Lin recognized it at a glance. The special ship type and flag showed that this fleet was
This fleet belongs to the ancient troll kingdom!
"Zandalar's fleet?! Are they reinforcements from the tribe?! Yes, the tribe must have colluded with them through Amani. These guys actually broke through my blockade and found new reinforcements from the sea..."
Dai Lin wished he could bite his teeth into pieces. It seemed that he was destined to die here today, but he still wanted his son to survive even if he risked his life!
However, contrary to expectations, the sailor on the observation deck exclaimed again!
"Oops! Major Derek is in danger!"
Daelin turned to one side as if he was electrocuted. Two giant dragons temporarily got rid of the entanglement of the gryphon knights and launched an attack on the ship where Daelin's son: Derek Proudmoore was!
"ah!!!"
Dai Lin felt like his hair was being pulled hard, and his skin all over his body stung like needles. At this moment, he almost collapsed!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
But at this moment, a rumble of artillery sounded. Just by listening to the sound of the artillery, Dai Lin could tell that it was more powerful than any artillery on both sides of the battlefield.
The dense shells hit one of the two attacking dragons, and one shell even hit the dragon's lower jaw!
The giant dragon that was hit swallowed back its breath, and flew out sideways in pain, causing the other dragon's breath to lose its accuracy when it collided with it!
"Haha! Have you seen it? I fired that shot!"
Nicks pulled off his goggles and boasted proudly to everyone around him.
Throughout the battle, not a single cannon of the Kul Tiras Third Fleet had any effect on the dragon.
How could Dai Lin not know that his son was out of danger now? Then the navy's professionalism made him curious, where did the shelling just come from?
"Marshal, it's that fleet! They launched an attack on the dragon!"
Dailin's face was full of disbelief. Could it be that he had thought wrongly and that the Zandalari fleet was here to help them?
With this question in mind, Dai Lin once again used the telescope to look in the direction just now.
He soon discovered that due to his own negligence, he had not seen a warship with a very different style in this fleet. It was completely different from Zandalari's warship, more like a ship from the human kingdom, or more like a warship from the human kingdom.
Missing the Kul Tiran ship?!
"Raise the sails! Raise the flag! Pull the ship over!"
Li De climbed up the mast, pulled out the flagellant and shouted. The flag he had treasured a year and a half ago, Li De originally thought of displaying it again in Lordaeron, but now it was rising with his participation in the war.
"That flag...is the Kingdom of Storm?!"
Dai Lin couldn't believe his eyes. Now even Lothar was commanding operations under the "seven-star DL flag" of the Lordaeron Alliance. Where did this lion flag come from?!
Li De naturally didn't know Dai Lin's shock. At this moment, he was standing on the observation deck, confronting the giant dragon that was angry and flew in revenge after being bombarded!
When the giant dragon saw Li De glaring at him, he decided that this small human race was the culprit who hurt him, and spit out a breath of dragon breath at Li De!
"screw you!"
Frightened and paying attention to everyone here, Li De jumped high from the observation deck, letting the high-temperature flames burn him, and swung the whipper against the dragon's breath!
The shadow and arcane energy contained in the Lasher formed a powerful energy storm that actually split the exploding dragon's breath into two!
"ah?!"
The eyes of the orc cavalry on the dragon's back were widened. At this time, Li De had already arrived in front of the dragon. Just when he was about to fall into the sea, Li De grabbed the dragon's nose and jumped up suddenly.
Climb the dragon's back.
"Get off!"
Without giving him any chance to react, Li De dragged the dragon knight into the sea with one kick.
Li De didn't know how to control the dragon, so he simply abandoned the dragon saddle and stood directly on the dragon's head, wrapped his arms around the dragon's horns, and pulled it aside with all his strength!
With Nozdormu's blessing, Li De's power is not inferior to that of an adult dragon, and because his human size makes his power more concentrated, how can this red dragon break free?
"Can you rid yourself of the shame of being enslaved by the orcs today? Listen to me!"
Li De's words made the dragon, which was still about to struggle, hesitate immediately. It could only obey Li De half-heartedly and flew towards its companions.
The other red dragon originally planned to continue attacking the Kul Tiras warship, but he didn't expect that his companion had been controlled by the human race and was heading straight towards him!
The frightened red dragon subconsciously tried to dodge, but the bumpy orc knight was confused.
At the moment when the two giant dragons were about to collide, Li De suddenly pulled the dragon's horn. The dragon underneath him turned over and passed by upside down. Li De on the dragon's head swung his giant sword in time and struck him.
The orc knight above was cut into two pieces, and at the same time a large dragon scale was opened on the red dragon's back, and dragon's blood was flying over the sea area of Tideluo Island in an instant!
Li De and Julong felt exhausted after performing difficult moves. He knew that such a high-intensity battle would not last long, and that they would need to work together to win this battle.
While thinking this, Li De looked around the battlefield. Suddenly he pushed the dragon's head downwards, and the red dragon reluctantly dived down towards the sea. When it approached the sea, it turned sideways, and its entire wings did not enter the sea water, and rowed on the sea.
Leaves a long trace.
Li De reached out and fished out a cable from the wreckage of the warship on the sea. As the dragon rose into the sky again, he threw the end of the rope towards the commander of the Wildhammer Griffin Knight.
"Grab the rope! Use it on these big guys!"
Kurdran Wildhammer subconsciously took the rope. At this moment, he was still a little stunned. He had no idea where this fierce man came from.
But the dwarf's naturally generous character allowed him to put all of this behind him. It didn't matter where he came from, as long as he knew he was on their side.
Compared with Li De, who can only use brute force to drive the dragon, Kurdran is much more flexible. The gryphon carrying him can be said to be his close partner, and they cooperate with each other seamlessly. Kurdran is like a shooting star,
After selecting a target, it flew around the dragon's neck and successfully wrapped the cable around the dragon's neck.
"tension!!!"
Li De shouted loudly, and he and Kurdran tightened the rope at the same time. Of course Li De didn't want to strangle the dragon to death. It was impossible to do this in the air. Doing so would only make it difficult for the dragon to move.
But this was enough. The orc knight's control was fettered, and other griffin knights immediately found the opportunity, flew over from the air, and smashed the knight's head with a hammer!
After taking care of the knight on the dragon's back, Li De and Kurdlan gave up at the same time and continued to deal with other dragon knights.
Almost instantly, three of the seven dragon knights were killed! Although the dragons were still alive, the dragons that had regained their freedom were no longer enemies of the alliance. Except for the giant dragon Li De was carrying.
Except for the dragon, everyone was watching from the edge of the battlefield.
Since then, the balance on the battlefield has finally tilted. The remaining four dragons are no match for the dozens of gryphon knights.
On the Dinghai, Anderson piloted the battleship to avoid attacks flexibly, creating opportunities for the Knicks' gunners. The Third Fleet, whose pressure was greatly reduced, immediately strangled the tribe's battleships with all its strength under the command of Dai Lin.
At the same time, Ral and Talanji, who led the Zandalari fleet, did not completely stand by and watch. Although Li De promised that Zandalari would not need to take action personally, they were destined to not be able to stand by and watch this situation.
Of course, the current situation does not require the Zandalari fleet to be the main force. They just used the flag to inform Daelin that they were here to help the alliance, and then helped Daelin intercept the tribe's ships.
An hour later, after realizing that there was no hope of escape, the tribe's command ship finally raised its flag and surrendered.
The naval battle on Chaoluo Island was a complete victory!
