Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 119: Defeat More with Less
"Boom boom boom——"

The sound of artillery fire continued and shells continued to hit the ships of both sides.

As a magic ship, the Black Pearl had amazing defense capabilities. Even so, it was still damaged by the continuous bombardment of artillery.

Its opponents were several warships of the Venture Capital Company. Almost all of them were injured, and more warships were fleeing the battlefield and approaching the coast.

Jack was in high spirits and kept turning the rudder to make the Black Pearl avoid the shells as much as possible.

Nedro's voice was hoarse, but he was still screaming excitedly.

"Aim carefully and hit them hard!"

Chong Quan was also organizing the crew to put out the fire on the deck, and the fire extinguishers were almost used up.

Rude shouted loudly on the observation tower: "Come on! You bastards, aren't you very powerful? Where are your shells?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of shells were fired, one of which broke the rope on the mast and almost knocked Rude off. After Rude stood firm, he was still shouting, "Is this what you can do? Why didn't you hit me? Shoot at me!"

The crew looked at this crow's mouth in silence. Fortunately, he was not on the deck, otherwise those shells would have submerged the Black Pearl.

At this time, they were extremely grateful for Jack's decision. Letting Rudd act as a lookout was the greatest protection for the Black Pearl.

Jack smirked and looked at the surrounding goblin ships with disdain.

After Gjerk was killed by the Kvaldir in Stormheim, the Venture Capital Company listed Jack as an enemy.

Farondis said it would take some time to find the runes for the Shield Island defense barrier, so Jack took this opportunity to dig up some treasure from the shipwreck and bring it back to Steamsand Port. This trip was very fruitful, and Jack was also a generous person, so he shared most of the proceeds with the crew.

Everyone was very excited and prepared to continue salvaging the sunken ship. However, Jack was discovered by a venture capital company's ship in the waters near Ratchet City, and then the venture capital company dispatched dozens of ships to capture the Black Pearl.

With Jack's operation, the Black Pearl was able to maneuver between the goblin ships. With the powerful cannon and magic armor, the Black Pearl was able to kill seven in and seven out, sinking several every time it passed through the goblin ships.

Jack thought to himself: Wasn't Zhao Zilong just like this at Changbanpo?

Of course, Jack was still not satisfied with the result. If those elves had not stayed in Nar'thalas, he would have been able to destroy all the ships of the Venture Capital Company. How could the Black Pearl have been attacked so much?
It seems that we still need to recruit more mages in the future. Only with the cooperation of mages can the full power of the cannon be released.

The battle had been going on for several days. During these days, everyone had only eaten some dry food, and the crew was a little bit exhausted. Fortunately, the situation of the Venture Capital Company was worse, and they had few ships left to fight. These ships were to delay the Black Pearl to prevent it from chasing and sinking more ships.

A few hours later, the last goblin ship was sunk in the sea. Everyone cheered, "We won! We won!"

This is probably the most amazing case in the history of naval warfare where a small force defeated a large one, and they were the winners. Is there anything more exciting than this?
Jack was also very proud, but when he saw Keane celebrating, he immediately kicked him and said, "Why are you so proud? Go cook, we are starving!"

Keane didn't get angry and immediately called the cooks to start cooking.

Jack called a few heavy fists, brought fishing nets, and came to the side of the ship. He began to cast magic, and soon lured a group of groupers. The heavy fists fished out the fish and gave them to Keane, who cleaned the fish and put them in the pot. After more than an hour, the crew finally had a bite of hot food.

After a hearty meal, Jack looked toward the coast where the goblins had fled to and asked Nedlo, "What is that place?"

Nedlo took out the sextant and measured the angle of the sun. "It's nearly 30 degrees away from Ratchet City. It should be not far from Azshara."

"Azshara?"

Everyone immediately became interested. "Captain, hasn't the venture capital company been exploring Azshara? Maybe they have gained something." "Yes, it has been more than three years, right? They are still here, so they should have gained something."

Rude came over at this time and said, "Captain, why don't we go and take a look and do some damage to them. If they really find something good, we can grab it."

Jack was quite tempted, "The Black Pearl also needs repairs, let's go to the nearest shore!"

"Great!"

"Those goblins will definitely be in trouble this time."

The crew members were all excited. Although they had won the battle, they were still holding their breath. They had been chased and beaten by the goblins for several days, and they felt bad if they didn't retaliate.

The Black Pearl sailed towards the coast, but could not find a place to dock. There were many strange rocks on the shore, and if the ship approached it carelessly, it would definitely run aground.

"How do we stop the boat?"

"Yeah! Why is this place like this? It's like a huge cannonball exploded."

"You know what, it does look a bit like it. But how big a shell would be needed to create such a big crater?"

Jack looked at the terrain and knew it must be Azshara. So he comforted her, "Don't worry, we can always find a suitable place to stop the boat. The goblins have been active here for several years. If there is no place to stop the boat, will the goblins swim to the shore?"

When everyone heard this, it was also true.

Soon, the lookout found a suitable place to dock. The Black Pearl docked, and Nedro led the crew to the shore to scout and find trees to repair the Black Pearl.

However, when they stood on the top of the mountain, they were stunned. There was nothing in sight around them, not even a tree.

"What should I do?"

The crew looked at Nedro, wanting him to come up with an idea.

Nedro had not expected this to happen. "Let's go back to the ship. Jack will know what to do!"

The crew had no choice but to follow Nadro back to the ship.

Jack was also a little confused when he heard that there were no trees. How could he repair the Black Pearl without trees? He didn't know how to cast a magic shield, so he couldn't use magic to plug those gaps.

It seems that the only way is to go to Ashenvale, where there are large forests. However, doing so may cause unnecessary trouble.

"Nedro, take out the chart and see where we are first."

Nadro hurried to the captain's room to get the nautical chart, but before he unfolded it, he heard the crew shouting.

"Look, what is that?"

"It's a dragon!"

Jack and the others immediately took a defensive stance reflexively, but after seeing clearly, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The dragon was not the black dragon that attacked them before, but a blue dragon.
