"Varian, can we really reach the Westfalls in five days? I remember it took several times longer to get here, but our sailing speed doesn't seem to be much faster now."
"It's likely less than five days," Varian confirmed. "Lord Daelin's artifact can only be used once we're some distance from the shore. You'll soon understand why we were able to arrive so quickly."
"Then I'll wait for a miracle to happen." Claudia said expectantly.
Claudia's anticipation didn't last long. Not long after, under the girl's curious gaze, Dai Lin on the platform took out the pipe from his mouth and put it aside. With a pious look on his face, he drew out the azure sword in his hand and swung it in the air in front of him. In an instant, the originally calm sea surface suddenly changed, the wind rose, and the waves surged.
Countless wind and water elements began their own carnival. The salty, wet and cool sea breeze gradually grew stronger. The sails that were already full of sails caught up the wind and swelled up. The sea surface also began to ups and downs. Countless waves gathered around the surrounding ships, like diligent workers, pushing the entire fleet forward rapidly.
No wonder Kul Tiras rules the sea.
Claudia understood a little after seeing this scene. According to Varian, this was not the speed limit of the entire fleet, because Daelin did not dare to use the maximum power of the artifact near the coast. Once they reached the distant sea area with few reefs, the speed of the entire fleet would reach about 30 knots, which was equivalent to a speed of more than 1,200 kilometers a day in the previous life. With the speed of coming and going like the wind and the veritable sea fortress like the Sea Sovereign, the Kul Tiras fleet would indeed not encounter any opponents at sea.
During the next few days of sailing, the alliance fleet did not encounter too many problems.
There are huge sea beasts in the open sea, among which there are even ultimate sea monsters that are comparable to demigods. However, mortals have developed an effective method to avoid sea beasts over the centuries. There are dwarf engineers on the ship who are researching sea beast repellers, which can emit a high-frequency sound wave, making most sea beasts instinctively hate to approach the ship. Moreover, even if some sea beasts really come to cause trouble, there is no need to be afraid. The Sea Sovereign is not only equipped with cannons. Since it suffered a loss at the hands of the red dragon fifteen years ago, Daelin's flagship has been equipped with some powerful weapons against giant creatures, such as the giant crossbow produced by Dalaran.
Claudia usually reads books or learns some knowledge from the Silver Hand these days. Occasionally, she goes to Class A in the morning to watch the sunrise over the sea or looks at the stars at night. Of course, when Varian has no official business, she will stay with the king, chat, dine together, listen to the king's stories, or just accompany him quietly.
Compared with the dullness of the first four days of the journey, a little incident happened on the fifth day when they were about to reach the Western Wilderness. Claudia was leaning against Varian and reading a night elf book borrowed from Jaina, when they suddenly heard noisy footsteps on the deck and outside the cabin.
Something happened?
The two men looked at each other, stood up, walked to the weapon rack and picked up their weapons. Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Adjutant Arthur pushed it open and walked in: "Your Majesty, the enemy has been spotted. Your Majesty Daelin requests you to come over."
Found the enemy?
Claudia was a little confused. They were already near the waters of Storm Kingdom, so where did the enemies come from?
Varian's expression turned serious, and he told the girl, "Stay with me."
"I will." Claudia nodded, and she followed Varian onto the deck. On the deck, the Kul Tiras sailors were already busy, with slogans coming one after another, cannons being pushed out, and sailors adjusting the sails from time to time to ensure the course. Compared with the busy sailors, King Daelin was smoking his pipe leisurely, and there was no nervous expression on his face. When he saw Varian, he took the initiative to greet him.
"What happened?" Varian asked.
"The lookout just reported that a Bloodsail pirate ship is chasing an armed merchant ship from Booty Bay. I suggest killing the pirates, Varian. What do you think?"
"I have no objection." Varian said with disgust. The evil pirates are the public enemy of all countries. Any country's fleet will sink a pirate ship without hesitation when encountering it, and the pirates will usually be fed to fish or hanged in public, not to mention that this is near the waters of Stormwind Kingdom.
"Hahaha." Dai Lin laughed. "It's a blessing for these pirates to die under the cannons of the Sea King."
