Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 118 Defensive Barrier
A holy light fell on Jack's body, and Jack felt warm all over. Then he felt his muscles become more solid and full of strength.

Harvey: "The blessing of the Shield of Aggramar can grant you greater strength and powerful defensive capabilities."

Jack pinched his arm hard, but it was a little hard, and the pain was reduced. In this way, Jack's ability to save his life will be greatly improved. When encountering danger, he can use more risky means to escape.

"Jack, I hope you can be worthy of this blessing."

Harvey said, and disappeared from Jack's sight.

Jack shrugged. Deserve this blessing? Are you kidding me? I got a reward, and you want me to convert to the Holy Light?
Returning to the Black Pearl, Jack headed for Shield Island again.

This time, without Habron to cause trouble, the Black Pearl arrived at Shield Island smoothly. After finding a suitable place to dock, Jack went ashore in person to get information.

Although Shield Island is very large, it is an island after all, and Jack soon found the tomb of General Warrender that Harvey mentioned.

However, the tomb is guarded by a large number of Vrykul.

These Vikus' strongholds are too far from the seashore for cannons to reach.

The way to deal with these Vikus is to lead them to the sea. Jack thought about it and walked directly to the base.

The Vrykul people found Jack and immediately attacked him. As followers of Warlord Volend, they did not allow anyone to approach the tomb. Although the tomb was protected by a defensive barrier, they still guarded it until their death.

Jack fired both guns, attacking and retreating at the same time, luring the Vikings to the seaside. However, as soon as they left the base, the Vikings retreated and were not fooled at all.

This puzzled Jack, so he tried a few more times. Even though he killed a Viking with a magic bomb, they still didn't fall for it and all retreated when they were about to enter the cannon's attack range.

Jack frowned. Could it be that these guys knew that if they went any further, they would be hit hard?

That shouldn't be the case! There are no mages among the Vrykul!

Jack thought about it, called up a few elves, and asked them to cast spells to investigate the situation of the Vikus.

Through the Arcane Eye, the elves learned that these Vrykul were always patrolling around the tomb. The reason why they did not pursue them was probably because they were afraid that the tomb would be attacked. In a corner of the tomb, there was a huge pit that seemed to have been blown out by a bomb.

"It seems that someone has used the strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. These Vikus are afraid of being fooled!"

An elf said, "I found some mechanical devices in that pit. They look like goblin-style devices."

Jack frowned. Goblin? Could it be a venture capital company?
There are many goblin shipwrecks in Azsuna, which means that the goblins have discovered this place a long time ago. However, they suffered heavy losses and did not gain a foothold in the Broken Isles. No wonder Gjell has been asking about the Broken Isles. It turns out that they have never given up on this place!

Damn goblins, they always cause trouble.

Jack couldn't think of a way to solve the problem of the Vikus for a while. There were hundreds of them here, and it would be difficult to kill them all by force. Unless he could let his men use suicide attacks regardless of the danger to their lives like the goblins, he could only move the cannon to the shore.

The Vrykul were only the first obstacle, the defensive barrier on the tomb was the real challenge. If you couldn't break it, even if you killed all the Vrykul, you wouldn't get Titanstrike.

"Can you break that defensive barrier?"

The elves looked at each other and shook their heads. "We don't know much about the Vrykul's defensive barrier. Although it uses a lot of Titan runes, most of the runes are simplified by the Vrykul themselves. If we don't understand the meaning of these runes, we won't be able to break this defensive barrier at all."

An elf suggested: "Captain Jack, we can record all these runes and send them back to Nar'thalas. Prince Farondis and the mages of the academy should be able to decipher these runes."

Jack's eyes lit up. That's right! The great wizards of Nathalas Academy must have a way to break this defensive barrier.

"Then record the runes as soon as possible, and then we will go to Nar'thalas. It has been several years since you left Nar'thalas, and it is time to go back and take a look."

The elves nodded. After leaving Nar'thalas for a few years, they did miss home.

It took the elves half a month to record all the runes. After checking them several times and making sure there were no omissions, they immediately returned to the Black Pearl.

A few days later, the Black Pearl arrived in Nar'thalas.

The mages of Farondis and Nar'thalas were all dissatisfied when they saw Jack. Jack had kidnapped their people and had been gone for several years, so how dare he come back now?
They came to Jack in a threatening manner, but were interrupted by Jack.

"Haha! Farondis, my good brother, I miss you so much!"

The elves were defeated by his shamelessness. How could you be a brother like this? However, when they saw that the elves behind Jack returned intact, their anger was reduced a lot.

Jack hugged Farondis and said, "Brother, I have wanted to come back to see you for a long time. It's just that I have encountered some troubles recently. I will rush to see you as soon as I solve the troubles. Am I considerate enough?"

Farondis rolled his eyes. "Frog told me that you went to his place not long ago to salvage several sunken ships."

Seeing his lie exposed, Jack was not panicked at all. "Brother, how could you listen to Frog's nonsense? There was Hiviku on my ship at the time, and those guys were collecting souls all over the world. If they came to Nar'thalas, wouldn't it cause trouble for you?"

Farondis squinted, "Do you think I'm afraid of them?"

"Yes!" Jack said with a smile, "Of course you are not afraid, but these Hiviku are backed by the goddess of death. They have a magic lantern that can harvest souls. Although you have the Tidestone and may not be afraid of the lantern, what about others?"

Farondis thought for a moment and said, "You got away with it. Tell me, what do you want to do this time?"

Jack took out the runes recorded by the elves and said, "Brother, this is a new rune we found. I haven't told anyone else, but I want to show you this first."

Farondis said speechlessly: "Just tell me to decipher the rune."

Jack waved his hand, and Rude came over with a box containing the deep-sea magic materials given by Jiang Du.

"Brother, look at what this is? It's a water magic material from the deep sea."

Farondis took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty good."

Jack looked at his arrogant look and couldn't help shaking his head. This prince had also become bad and was not easy to deceive. He would not work without money.
