Chapter 262 [Naga Civil War on Thousands of Waves]
The endless sea.
Tonatiu's excellent eyesight allowed him to see that there were indeed some traces on the distant sea, and those traces were spreading towards his fleet.
"Those are the traces of Naga swimming at high speed close to the water!" Sara said loudly next to her.
"They are indeed approaching." Woyamba said. "Your Majesty, these guys come with bad intentions. Maybe we need to "greet" them properly!"
"How to greet them? Are you going to have a sea battle? They are underwater, how to deal with them?" Tonatiu asked.
Woyamba said: "Naga are indeed troublesome underwater. But Zandalari will not be afraid of them! Every one of our ships has the sacrifice of His Majesty Grol on board. Most of the sailors and sailors also
We all believe in His Majesty Grohl, we can deal with them!"
"certainly."
he continued.
"If there are too many, then we can only choose a strategic retreat."
Tonatiu heard him talking about His Majesty Grol, and he knew this name. It was the name of Loa, the shark that Zandalari and the trolls believed in.
Grol, this spirited shark, is by no means a powerful Loa. But he has widespread belief in the Zandalari navy, and many merchants in the maritime trade also believe in him.
Even some human merchants and goblin merchants still respect Him, and some even believe in Him.
Grol is the sea-protecting god of the Zandalari and the trolls.
By the way, those cheap turtles that Tonati hates for no reason, besides the turtle god, their second object of faith is also Grol.
"Okay." Tonatiu said to Woyamba. "At sea, Zandalar is an expert. What to do is up to you. Woyamba, let you take command!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Woyamba was not pretentious, and he had always had the command of the fleet.
Voyamba stood on the observation deck in front of the "Sandcrawler" and raised a few gestures towards a few nervous Zandalari trolls at the rear, who nodded incessantly.
Soon a flag that Tonatiu couldn't understand was raised on the mast of the Sandcrawler.
"The semaphore of Zandalari." Sarah said. "Although I don't want to admit it, the trolls sailed on the sea earlier than us humans. It is said that part of the semaphore of Kul Tiras comes from the Zandalari trolls."
I learned it here.”
"It is normal to learn from being advanced while falling behind, and it is not something that cannot be acknowledged." Tonatiu said calmly. "Just like I actually appreciate some of your human civilizations and am willing to learn from them, and I
I won’t deny it, I want to learn them.”
"What do you think is good about us humans?" Sarah asked with interest.
"Magic, arcane, Dalaran. At this point, except for those white-skinned and long-eared people, you humans are the race that has gone the furthest on this path and has dabbled the most. Of course the trolls also want to learn, and they should
Study." Tonatiu said simply.
He saw that after hearing his answer, Sara seemed to have a bored expression on her face, and she muttered:
"What's so good about...boring arcana! I can't even hide with a bunch of white-haired old men or boring middle-aged men all day long!"
"Have you ever stayed in Dalaran?" Tonatiu asked curiously.
"I stayed there for two years. I swear it was the most boring period of my life. The only thing that can be compared with this boring period is the half year when my father forced me not to go to sea," Sara said.
Tonatiu still wanted to talk to her. He hoped to learn more about Dalaran from a perspective other than Modera's.
Because he always felt that for the sake of Modera and the child in Modera's belly, he would go to Dalaran one day.
However, the threat from the Nagas was imminent at this time, and Voyamba raised his flag and commanded the fleet in the Zandalari flag language.
Semaphore is a method of communication that uses hand flags or flags to convey signals.
Zandalari's navy has not planned to reach the point of wireless communication. The commanders command the fleet, of course, using this ancient but very effective method.
Under the command of Woyamba, the fleet put into a ready formation.
Tonatiu noticed that some sailors among the sailors stood up and cast spells on some tall and strong trolls wearing leather clothes and holding spears in their hands.
There was a prayer movement during the casting process, and Tonatiu also heard Grol's name. He guessed that it might be the priests of Shark Loa who were casting magical spells to give these elite Zandalar navy the ability to fight under the sea.
ability.
At this time, the sea breeze brought a smell of blood.
Everyone on the boat smelled it.
Woyamba was surprised and said: "It smells so strong of blood. There must have been a fierce battle not long ago, and there may have been many casualties."
"Look!"
Sarah pointed to the moonlit sea.
"It looks bright red on top?! That's the color of blood!"
Before Tonatiu had time to speak, he was probably a few miles away from the fleet, which was probably a few kilometers away on the earth.
On the sea surface under the moonlight, a huge water elemental creature suddenly rose up, followed by hundreds of Nagas.
At the same time, on the opposite side of them, a huge octopus also surfaced, followed by hundreds of naga.
Almost without stopping, they fought together, huge waves rippled on the sea, and blood fell into the water and spread.
Okay, now the fleet knows where the thick smell of blood in the air and the blood on the sea come from.
One of the two Nagas has a relatively small number, and they look almost the same. In Tonatiu's view, the only difference between them is the scales on their bodies, one is light blue and the other is dark red.
"The Naga with red scales is the owner of Blood Horror Island, Blood Horror Naga!" Sarah said.
"There are no records of Nagas with blue scales in the nearby sea. They may be outsiders."
Tonatiu nodded and thanked her for the explanation. Wherever he looked, he saw that the sea water was dyed increasingly red.
In the fierce war, there is no mercy, and there are almost no injured. Even if you put down your weapon, you will not be forgiven. You can only stab the trident into the throat and kill him with one blow.
There are more and more big octopuses, and more and more naga with light blue scales appear.
On the water element side, there are blood-terror Nagas. Although there are some new water elements and some Nagas joining them, the number is obviously much smaller than those of blue-scaled Nagas and octopuses.
Woyamba said: "It should be a civil war among the Nagas. The prophet said that the Nagas are not monolithic. They are very similar to us trolls. They have many tribes and worship the same king."
"We are much better than them," Tonatiu said. "At least we rarely have civil wars, and our fights should not be as brutal as they are."
Woyamba nodded in agreement. There were very few wars between trolls, and even if they did, they were usually not bloody. Usually, just kill the leader and forget about it.
