Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 14 Red Dragon Blood
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry, hurry, hurry—"

Fitzmos swam to the shallows, yelled at the top of his lungs for help, and pulled Jack hard towards the battleship.

As a result, Jack accidentally hit his head on a wooden board floating on the water, and he woke up in pain.

Fizmos noticed Jack's movement immediately and quickly helped Jack to stand up. "Thank God, you finally woke up. Come on, we have to hide, otherwise we will become food for the salmon."

Seeing that Jack was still a little dazed, Fitzmoss could only turn Jack's head so that he could see the current situation clearly.

When Jack saw the red dragon flying towards him, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around and rushed towards the battleship.

Fizmos followed, surpassed Jack in a few steps, and then slipped through a gap. He looked around cleverly, and soon his eyes lit up.

Jack was still a little dizzy and lagged behind Fizmos by a few steps. When he got into the gap, he saw Fizmos loading ammunition into a cannon.

Because of the tilt of the deck, the cannon was raised in elevation, and the muzzle was pointed toward the sky. Although it could not move, as long as the red dragon flew over the muzzle, it would definitely cause damage to the red dragon.

Fizmos reloaded the ammunition and shouted to Jack, "What are you still standing there for? Lure the dragon over here. The cannon cannot move."

Jack finally came to his senses, took a look at the distance of the red dragon, and immediately moved the side of the ship towards the direction of the cannon.

The injured red dragon thought Jack wanted to run into the cabin, so he sped up and swooped down, opening his mouth to spray dragon breath.

Seeing this, Jack quickly took two more steps, then spread his hands and slid along the deck towards the cannon.

The red dragon lost track of Jack and rushed down angrily. It grabbed the side of the ship with its two claws, stretched its dragon head onto the deck, and was about to spit out a breath of dragon's breath.

At this moment, his intact eye saw a pitch-black muzzle facing him. Just as he was about to dodge, the cannon roared, and a cannonball wrapped in flames flew rapidly towards him and shot into his mouth.

boom--

The red dragon's head exploded instantly, like a watermelon being smashed by a sledgehammer, and the watermelon juice splashed everywhere, covering the two men. The headless dragon corpse shook a few times and fell off the side of the ship.

"Roar--"

Seeing their companions being killed, the other two red dragons roared in anger. They rushed over quickly, and their dragon breath engulfed the warship. When they flew over the side of the ship and reached the deck, they did not see Fizmos and Jack.

Just as they were puzzled, the shouts of orcs came from the other end of the ship.

The wounded red dragon died, but the orc who was riding it was still alive. The orc fell into the sea along with the dragon's corpse and was pressed under the dragon's corpse. Because the water was shallow, his head could still stick out of the water, but he could only lift his neck to save himself.

But the orcs' shouts just sounded and then suddenly disappeared.

The two orcs immediately asked the red dragon to go over and take a look. The red dragon drew a circle in the sky and flew back to the boat. There was no trace of orcs on the water, only a green blood flower surging upwards near the dragon's corpse.

"Damn it, those two humans are not dead yet."

The orcs communicated with each other and immediately ordered the red dragon to breathe dragon breath towards the wreckage of the battleship and the surrounding water. They waited until the battleship was burned to ashes before they reluctantly drove the red dragon away to chase the other battleships of the Third Fleet.

After the red dragon disappeared, Fizmos crawled out from under the dragon's corpse.

He let out a long sigh, "Finally it's gone." If the red dragon didn't fly away, he might have suffocated to death.

"Jack—"

He called Jack's name, and then searched around the dragon's corpse. After lighting the cannon, they jumped from the other end of the deck without waiting for the result. According to his idea, he just wanted to use the cannon to attract the red dragon's attention, and it would be best if he could injure a red dragon and then take the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, they were so lucky that the shot killed the injured red dragon directly. But the bad news was that they succeeded in angering the other two red dragons.

They crawled through the cracks in the bottom of the boat to the other side, trying to play hide-and-seek with the red dragon. As soon as they got there, they heard the orcs shouting under the dragon's corpse. Because he didn't understand the orc language, he didn't know what the orcs were shouting, and just thought their whereabouts were exposed. So, he rushed over and cut the orc's neck with his dagger.

The red dragon spewed dragon breath wildly, so he and Jack had to hide separately, and he lost track of Jack since then.

Soon, he found Jack at the red dragon's neck.

Jack was so honored that he fainted again. This guy actually went down the red dragon's throat. It must be said that this idea was very smart. The red dragon would not spit dragon breath on the corpse of its companion. But at the same time, this was also a stupid behavior. Although the red dragon was dead, dragon blood continued to flow out of the wound. The dragon blood soaked Jack's body, causing him to suffocate and faint.

"You are so lucky!"

Fitzmos pulled Jack out and felt very emotional. He was so lucky that he didn't die after suffocating for such a long time.

But he didn't notice that there was a faint white light lingering around Jack.

The white light gradually disappeared, and Jack shuddered suddenly and sat up from the ground. Jack looked up at the sky, "Where are those two big guys?"

"left already!"

Fizmos was secretly amazed, a little impressed by Jack's magic. He had also asked the officers of Nanhai Town about Jack's origins, and only knew that he was selected by the minor nobles as a substitute and sent to the barracks. The officers said that Jack had some combat skills and was smart, but sometimes his brain didn't work well.

Now it seems that the officers' assessment was correct. From the beginning of the battle, Jack made decisions that seemed to have great results, but he did not consider the consequences.

When reinforcing the dwarves, he rushed to the orcs and opened fire. Although he killed one orc, he was almost killed by the orcs.

When dealing with the Red Dragon, he swung out of the boat and fired. Although he injured one of the Red Dragon's eyes, he fell into the sea and nearly drowned.

Hiding from the dragon's breath by hiding in the red dragon's throat did indeed prevent him from being harmed by the dragon's breath, but he almost suffocated himself to death.

All I can say is, if it weren't for the blessing of the God of Luck, Jack would have died countless times.

Fitzmos pulled Jack up, "Okay, we need to get out of here, do you still have the strength?"

"I... am fine!"

Jack stretched his body and for some reason he felt as if he was full of strength.

"That's good. We need to swim to the east coast, then wait for dark from there, go around to the west coast of the wetland, and then find a way to return to South Sea Town."

Fizmos told Jack his plan, and Jack agreed without a second thought. In this dangerous world, following a strong man can increase the chance of survival, and Fizmos is such a strong man.
