Chapter 46 The Second Naval Battle
The news that the Orc fleet was crossing the sea again made the top leaders of the coalition excited.
In the first sea-crossing battle, although the Kul Tiran fleet achieved results, it also suffered heavy losses.
Even Admiral Daelin's son died in the red dragon's breath of destructive flames.
The depressed Admiral Dailin and his fleet no longer dared to take the initiative to engage in a decisive battle with the orc fleet.
Herard looked at the empty port of Nanhai Town and asked Alleria about the situation doubtfully.
"Sister, where is our fleet? Why are the tank landing ships and armored ships gone?"
The tank landing ship is the advanced warship that sent the rangers here.
The ironclad ship had escorted the refugees from Stormwind City earlier.
Then it was specifically responsible for delivering arms to the coalition forces.
According to Herard's plan, these warships will stay here to participate in the war.
There is nothing in the port now.
This situation made Herard very angry.
Seeing the anger on Herad's face, Alleria was speechless at the goblin captain's behavior.
To be able to make the second brother, who doesn't get angry easily, into a rage, that green-skinned dwarf is really trying to kill himself!
Alleria sold the goblin captain without hesitation.
"Captain Hank took away the fleet a few days ago and said he was going to transport another batch of arms."
Herard had long suspected that Hank was responsible for this.
Now he was just confirming it again from Alleria's side.
Confirming that it was this guy, Herard slapped the table angrily.
"Oh, it turns out it's this guy who wants to make money even to death! I must teach him a lesson this time."
Captain Hank is a talented businessman who runs businesses at sea.
Because his business skills were too good, he was squeezed out by the goblin chaebol in various ways, which eventually led to the company's bankruptcy.
In less than two years, he had already made a lot of money for Herad.
If you make a few mistakes in such a cornucopia, as long as the matter is not too big, it will be fine.
When he sent the rangers here earlier, the goblin captain made a lot of money by buying and selling along the way.
Even the arrogant high elves were convinced by his super business acumen.
Of course, the main thing is to eat and drink well along the way and to serve these ranger gentlemen well.
"Captain Hank's plan is very detailed. He should be able to come back in time."
Hearing what Alleria said, Herard's expression softened a little.
"I hope so. If we can't catch up with the war, I will definitely make him look good this time!"
The warship appeared in this war, showing its strong combat effectiveness. It was the most important project in Herad's plan for this war.
The most profitable item in the arms trade is, of course, the sale of warships.
That is a big project with a minimum investment of several hundred thousand gold coins!
Hank, who was still at Yangfan Port at this time, also received news of the departure of the Orc fleet.
There was a serious deviation in the plan. He didn't care that there were still a lot of goods to be loaded and set off in a hurry.
The Orc fleet is slower.
But they are only a bay away from Nanhai Town.
Although the warship on Hank's side is fast, it is several times farther away.
Even if you can travel day and night, it will be difficult to arrive before the other party arrives.
But Hank quickly thought of a solution.
He asked Golden Flute to be a lobbyist for the Wildhammer dwarves, and asked them to send gryphon knights to test the strength of the orc fleet.
After showing enough sincerity, Falstad agreed to the ally's request.
"Then it's settled. I will personally lead the team to test their strength."
"Thank you very much! I will prepare the ships and supplies."
Griffins have limited physical strength and cannot fly hundreds or thousands of kilometers to attack Orc fleet.
Ships therefore need to be arranged to transport them.
The Kul Tiran fleet is willing to accept employment as long as they do not directly participate in the war.
Several warships were ready to set off overnight, carrying two teams of gryphon knights to the scheduled battle location.
The griffin knights who often fly around in the sky, whether griffins or knights, have no discomfort with the rickety ships. Griffons are very capable of hunting and can even catch smaller sharks.
Of course, this smaller size is based on griffon standards.
They only attack sharks weighing less than 1,000 kilograms.
This means that most sharks are within the hunting range of griffons.
The sharks were swimming vigorously after the warship, but suddenly their heads were scratched by claws falling from the sky. They didn't even know how they died.
Looking at these aerial killers with superb hunting capabilities, the naval soldiers of the Kul Tiras fleet were looking forward to whether they could fight the red dragon.
If the griffins can contain the red dragon, even if they only come with a few ships, they still have to give the orc fleet some color.
The sailing battleships and the orcs' muscle-powered battleships sail at an alarming speed.
However, after two days of sailing, the two sides still met near the center line of the bay.
The gryphon knights reacted quickly and immediately took control of their gryphons to attack.
By the time the drivers of the Dragonmaw Clan reacted and drove the red dragon to take off to meet the enemy, the enemy had already climbed to a certain height and began to throw magic hammers.
The magic hammer containing thunder and lightning energy hit those red dragons hard.
However, the magic hammer hit the red dragon's scales, and although a dazzling electric spark popped out, it did little harm to these guys.
Their huge bodies trembled, and they quickly flapped their wings and flew up.
Falstad caught the magic hammer that flew back and stared at the red dragons climbing up with a solemn expression.
He threw the magic hammer a few more times, but the results were not ideal.
Although it is a red dragon forced to grow by dark magic.
They still have strong magic resistance.
The magic hammer's lightning damage has no effect on them.
The hard dragon scales on the quick red dragon can offset at least 90% of physical attacks.
After observing it for a while, Falstad quickly changed his attack ideas.
The magic hammer in his hand was thrown again.
But the target of this attack is not the red dragon.
Under the correction of the wind spell, the magic hammer accurately hit the unsuspecting orc driver.
The 20-kilogram magic hammer whizzed over and dented the chest of the orc driver.
This blow has caused terrible critical damage.
The orc driver was killed on the spot.
The subsequent thunder and lightning damage burned it into a charred corpse.
The red dragon lost its controller and fell into a rage.
It chased Falstad crazily, trying to tear the enemy who attacked it into pieces.
Although the scene looked intense, the red dragon without its controller did not pose much of a threat.
Seeing that the leader's attack was effective, other gryphon knights also reacted.
"Attack the drivers who control them!"
"Yes, kill these guys first!"
The magic hammer containing powerful thunder and lightning energy roared and smashed into the fragile orc driver.
Orc drivers are proficient in the art of taming beasts and how to control flying mounts.
But their own combat effectiveness is very low, and they cannot withstand the attack of the Griffin Knights at all.
The red dragons without their controller are just a group of fire-breathing lizards with low IQ.
Although these fire-breathing lizards have not lost their fighting power, they can only be led by the gryphon knights and cannot exert their fighting power at all.
Looking at the battlefield tearing back and forth in the sky, several battleships from the Kul Tiras fleet rushed decisively towards the Orc fleet.
Although the orc fleet has a huge size, it cannot effectively deal with the incoming warships.
Several warships were flexibly circling, and their side guns almost never stopped.
A hole can be made in the crudely made wooden hull with one shot.
It's a pity that the accuracy of old artillery is too low.
Otherwise, just these few battleships can sink the orc fleet.
