Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 13 Battleship Stranded
"Titan! What is that—"

The dwarves on the city wall saw the red dragon in the bay and couldn't help but exclaimed. Of course they knew dragons, but they didn't expect that dragons would help orcs.

"How could this happen?" The dwarves all expressed their doubts at the same time. They could not connect the dragon and the orcs together.

The reality is before them, and no matter how unbelievable it is, they have to face it.

Captain Tiexu quickly walked up to the city wall, "What happened——"

Before he could finish his question, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Most of the warships of the Third Fleet were burning, and the three giant dragons above the warships were still constantly spewing dragon breath at them.

The four warships cruising nearby were divided into two groups, and three of them were evacuating to the outside of the bay, seemingly not daring to fight the dragon. Captain Ironbeard despised this cowardly behavior, but he had to be grateful because they were approaching the port to help evacuate the dwarves from Paladin Port.

He wanted to hold on to the port, but the balance of victory tilted towards the orcs the moment the dragon appeared.

"Gather everyone, let's retreat!"

"Don't worry about the supplies. Set a fire before you leave and burn everything. Don't leave anything for the orcs."

"Notify Ironforge that Paladin has been lost!"

The dwarves rushed down the city wall, gathered the people according to Captain Ironbeard's orders, and organized them to go to the dock.

The musketeers took as much guns and ammunition as possible, and piled the excess that could not be taken away in one place and buried it with gunpowder under the castle in the center of the harbor. Others scattered rum in various buildings and threw in a torch to light them when they retreated.

Soon, many buildings in the Palatine Port were on fire. The musketeers also ignited the fuse of the gunpowder, and when they retreated to the dock, the castle collapsed with a bang.

The orcs outside the city heard the loud noise and knew that the dwarves were going to retreat, so they immediately rushed to the port. But unfortunately, when they moved the obstacles away and entered the port, the city was already in a mess, and there was no ship at the dock.

"Damn it!" The orc commander kicked a stone away angrily and looked at the Kul Tiras navy still fighting in the bay.

"Report to the Great Chieftain, we have captured the dwarven port."

A wolf rider behind him immediately turned his wolf around and galloped eastward along the goat path.

"The dragon is coming!"

"dodge!"

Fizmos kept shouting, commanding the sailors to dodge the red dragon's breath attack.

As the flagship of the Third Fleet, the Spray Goddess was the largest warship. Its craftsmanship was more sophisticated, its deck was thicker, and it was equipped with fireproof cloth for firefighting. After attracting the attention of the three dragons, the Spray Goddess immediately made a big turn on the sea, leading them away from the burning warship.

When the red dragon swoops down to attack, the sailors immediately hide behind the side of the ship to minimize their exposure to the attack. Despite this, many people are still ignited by the dragon's breath, and the sailors nearby will immediately use fireproof cloth to put out the fire and try to rescue them.

Some sailors saw that the flames on their bodies could not be extinguished and immediately jumped into the sea. Although the chances of survival were slim, they would definitely not survive if they stayed on the ship.

After several rounds of attacks, the number of sailors on the ship decreased. With several experiences of evasion, the sailors became more and more adept at dealing with the attacks of the red dragon.

The orcs riding the red dragon were furious. They wanted the red dragon to get closer, but the sailors immediately changed their targets to their eyes and the red dragon's eyes. Although they missed, they were still scared out of their wits. The Wave Goddess led the red dragon away, and the burning warship could save itself. The sailors put out the flames and rowed in the cabin. Because of the small number of people, the warship moved very slowly. However, this also meant that they still had a chance to be saved. As long as they joined other warships, they could be towed back to other ports for repairs.

When the orc riding the red dragon saw other warships escaping, he immediately ordered the red dragon to fly over and completely sink those warships.

Captain Harindor quickly gave the order: "Attract the dragon's attention and don't let them attack friendly ships."

The sailors immediately stood in a conspicuous place and fired at the red dragons. Unfortunately, the dwarfs' short guns had a limited range and insufficient accuracy, and occasionally a few bullets hit the red dragons, but the red dragons ignored them.

Just when the red dragon was about to fly over the Wave Goddess, a long roar suddenly came.

Everyone looked up and found that Jack had climbed up the mast at some point. He grabbed the rope on the mast and swung out. Soon, Jack reached the highest point, only ten yards away from the red dragon.

"Oh!"

The dwarf fired his pistol and the bullet hit the red dragon's eye accurately.

The red dragon was hit hard and roared angrily, almost knocking the orcs on its back off. The orcs tried to appease the red dragon, but it was useless. The red dragon took a deep breath and blew a breath of dragon's breath at Jack.

Jack quickly let go of his hands and let himself fall into the sea. Although he tried not to be scared, he still couldn't resist the attack of acrophobia, and he screamed and fell into the water.

"Jack!"

Fizmos threw away the weapon in his hand, rushed to the side of the boat, and jumped into the sea. He quickly approached Jack and pulled him out from the bottom of the sea.

When the sailors saw that Jack was still alive, they burst into huge cheers.

This made the red dragon even more angry, and it roared and swooped down to attack the Spray Goddess. The other two red dragons ignored the orcs' command, turned around and returned, and attacked the Spray Goddess.

Captain Harindor's face suddenly changed. "Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up——"

They couldn't beat a dragon that wasn't angry, and they were even more unable to beat an angry dragon. Now Harindor had only one idea, which was to lead these dragons away as quickly as possible and then get rid of them.

Fizmos let out a breath and felt relieved. Fortunately, the angry red dragon did not attack Jack first, otherwise he and Jack would have been burned to ashes by the dragon's breath.

"Bang-"

There was a loud noise, and Fizmos looked over in horror, only to see a warship stranded at this time. In the middle of the bay, there was a shallow beach, and when there were no big waves, you could see several small islands. Normal ships would avoid this area, but the sailors who were eager to escape the bay rowed the warship straight to the island without anyone at the helm, and the whole ship rushed up and got stuck between two small islands.

The sounds of hulls breaking and masts falling echoed throughout the battlefield.

Fizmos turned his head suddenly and looked at the three red dragons. As expected, they had turned their heads and found that Jack in his arms was still alive, so they flew over immediately.

Is it too late for me to drown Jack now?

Fitzmos felt very miserable, but in order to survive, he had to swim towards the stranded warship with Jack.
