Chapter Seventeen - Hand to Hand
…………
"Captain, the human ship has arrived."
Hacker laughed: "How many people?"
"The Observer said there were at least two hundred men, the captain. Some of their ships were merchant ships, and some were transformed by fishing boats."
At this moment, several shells came over, causing splashes of water on the sea.
"Their shells can't hit us, sir. But our range is enough!"
"What a pity, I still want to fight with the Alliance's Seventh Fleet." Hacker sighed. It seemed that she was sighing for the first time these days, disappointed with no decent opponents. Those blood-colored crusaders may be interesting, but what are the things she saw in the distance? Didn't the Alliance station one or two decent ships in Nanhai Town?
That being the case, let them pay the price for their arrogance.
"Prepare to open fire, all the cannons aim at those ships." Hacker ordered, sneering at the human warships. The soldiers were installing shells and calculating their locations, and they only almost ignited the fire.
"Captain, look!" A crew member pointed to the sky in panic. Hacker's attention was shifted. He thought the enemy had an air force, but what he saw was snow all over the sky.
"Snow?" Captain of the Withering One was stunned. It would not snow in the current season...
"Behind us is Lord Merriel!"
Hacker frowned and immediately ran to the other side of the deck. The mage floated on the sea, wrapped in wind and snow, chanting some spells in his mouth, and each word caused the temperature of the air to plummet.
What was he doing? He was casting spells against the Forgotten Fleet! Hacker had enough of the dove-like practices of Veronara and Merriel. No one can stop her from avenging the Alliance now and cannot allow Merriel to complete the spell.
"Fire at him!"
This order almost shocked everyone present to the Forsaken. They looked at each other and couldn't believe what Hacker had just said.
"Didn't you hear my order? Open fire at him."
"That's Merriel, he's the Forsaken."
"Why do we attack our own people?"
"The Withered Lord will not be happy if he knows it."...
Questions were heard one after another, some people scolded Hakel for being crazy, and several forgotten people even blocked the cannon to prevent the captain from doing anything crazy and stupid.
"Did you forget how the alliance treat us? Have you forgotten what happened to Shadow Tooth?"
Hacker was glad that his words made some people's expressions quiet, but another suspicious word followed one after another.
"We haven't forgotten, but the target we are attacking is just the alliance. Lord Merriel is the leader of the Forgotten Mages."
"He wants to stop us from revenge."
"That way he is not our enemy either."
Hacker was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "We are going to attack our enemies, but Merriel wants to help them. How is he different from the enemies?"
"Mr. Merell is just doing what he thinks is right. It's like you don't get the order from Lord. Tatsell and order the offensive directly."
Angry urged Hacker to shoot those who questioned her, and reason told her that she could not do this, otherwise she would lose everyone's trust.
The sound of magic was getting clearer and clearer, and Merriel seemed to have used all his strength to roar. The ice storm around him began to spread outward, and the cold wind was biting wherever he went, as if dark clouds formed, covering the entire sky.
"The sea surface... is frozen."
Hacker didn't need anyone to remind herself of what happened, she had already felt it. Now she only cared about two things: first, can Merriel release other spells. Second, whether the crew still listened to her orders.
She stared at the mage and saw Merell kneeling down and staying on the ice surface he had sealed with magic.
No matter how powerful he is, he needs to rest after releasing such a spell. Hacker sneered. Merriel wanted to stop her? But he helped her a lot. Not just the Forgotten ship? The human ship was also extremely moved.
"Quick, seize the opportunity and aim the fire at the alliance, they have become living targets."
The Forgotten, who heard the order on the other side of the deck, took action? The fire troop was ignited? Dozens of shells flew into the waters of Nanhai Town like a storm and hit those hulls? Seeing the explosion scattered hulls, Hacker felt satisfied, and she noticed that there were many Forgotten people like her.
"Continue to fire."
Hacker turned around and just gave another command. The person who caught her had already begun to do this? After a while, she did not hear the sound of fire.
"What's going on?"
"The cannon was frozen, Captain."
Hacker stared at the fire wrapped in ice in a daze. The Forgotten file of the battle once recorded this scene: the battle in the air at Northrend Ice Crown Fortress was a battle between the Alliance and the Horde. In order to win the victory, the commanders on both sides chose to let the mage freeze the cannons on the opponent's airship.
But in that case, only the mage can cast spells at close range.
"Eaglehorn? There is a woman behind it."
An Forgotten discovered an abnormality.
Hacker was about to order her to be beaten down. Another voice made her swallow the words again.
"It's Ms. Prodmore of Theramore."
Nathanos once tried his best to save the city of Jaina Prodmore. No matter what special significance that woman had to the Wither, Hacker didn't want to take risks.
"We can't attack."
"No, the sea is frozen? We can land. Everyone, take up their weapons and rush towards the Alliance's ship."
...
"Sir Redpass, the Forsaken rushed over."
Redpass, who was fully armoured, had already heard the roar of the undead when charging. Although he did not understand why the sea was frozen, the Forgotten gave up the more advantageous artillery fire and instead wanted to fight with them.
Do they think the league has been scared and timid?
The undead have the courage of the undead, and humans also have the courage of the man. They need to prove it to the forgotten.
"The undead thought we had lost our ability to resist, but whether in Lordaeron or Northrend, their kind are our losers. Now it's time..."
Redpas took the sword and shield, both of which were the relics of his brother Joseph. In Daron County, his brother defeated the tide of the undead natural disaster. Marcus Redpas believed that he could do it too.
Other soldiers also had a premonition of his orders and took their weapons to suit their hands.
