Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 128 Hydachia
"Did you recognize the wrong target?" Jack looked at Hekedasis in confusion.

Hekedasis said: "Yes, they have mistaken the target. They thought your ship was a goblin ship, so they attacked you."

Jack raised an eyebrow, "You guys have a grudge against the goblins too?"

"It's not a grudge. The goblins wanted to steal the treasures we were guarding. After we beat back the goblins, we started attacking the goblin ships that appeared in this sea area. There were only goblin ships in this sea area before, so they thought your ship was a goblin ship."

Hekedasis has a good attitude and accepts the punishment when he makes a mistake.

"I apologize for the water element's behavior and am willing to compensate you for your losses. I know you like money, but we don't value money, so we can only compensate you with some items."

Jack didn't expect that things would be solved so easily, it was so smooth that he felt incredible.

A current of water lifted up from the sea a figurehead, a stone figure of the element of water.

"We accidentally found a figurehead and thought it was interesting, so we transformed it into the image of a water element and enchanted it. The speed of ships equipped with it will increase by at least 50%."

When Jack heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He could also cast spells to increase the speed of the ship, but the Black Pearl was so large that it took a lot of mana to speed it up. Jack could only increase the speed by about 20%, and it could only last for less than an hour.

With this advantage, the Black Pearl was able to kill everyone on the sea. If this figurehead was installed, wouldn't it be as easy to fight the goblins as to fight the grandson?
However, he quickly thought, It was just a misunderstanding, is it necessary to use such a good thing to make amends?
As expected, Hekedasis had other requests.

"What should I call you? Warrior."

"Jack Sparrow!"

"Jack!" Hekedasis said, "The goblins are greedy by nature. You came to this sea area, so you must have had a conflict with them, right?"

"That's right!" Jack said, "Not only that, we fought a naval battle with the goblins before coming to Azshara."

Hekedasis became happy. "Warrior, we gave you this figurehead because we want you to help us deal with the goblins. These greedy guys are disturbing us."

"That's no problem. We are going to go to war with the goblins anyway. With this figurehead, the Black Pearl's combat power will be greatly improved, and we will be able to defeat the goblins quickly."

Jack said, waving at the Black Pearl.

After seeing this, Nadro immediately ordered the crew to board the island in a lifeboat.

Jack asked them to take the figurehead back and replace it, and then prepared to say goodbye to Hector.

But Hekedasis stopped him, "Warrior, there is one more thing."

Jack turned his head helplessly, "Your Excellency the Duke, you only gave me a figurehead. You don't want me to be the steward of the water element, do you?"

Hekedasis was a little embarrassed. "Jack, you misunderstood. What I want to say is that we are enemies of fire elements, but most of the fire elements are in the East Continent. Although we can cross the sea to the East Continent, there are many dangers along the way, and we cannot ensure that all water elements can arrive safely. So, I would like to ask you, after arriving in the East Continent, can you summon some water elements over there?"

When Jack heard this, he thought it was not a big deal. He could help them and maybe he could get help from the water element when he went to Molten Core.

"That's no problem. Although I know some water spells, I don't know how to summon water elements."

Hekedasis was also an old fox and immediately understood what Jack said.

He took out a spell book. "This book records how to summon water elements. Here are some Hydratian crystals. Just place them on the summoning circle and you can summon Hydratian water elements."

Jack took the spell book and crystal with a smile, "Your Excellency the Duke, I will go to the East Continent as soon as possible." "I wish you all the best!"

Jack returned to the Black Pearl, and the figurehead had been installed. Jack waved his hand with high spirits, "Set sail!"

The Black Pearl immediately returned to the waters of Azshara and headed straight for the ruins of Eldaras.

There were too many reefs in the sea near the ruins of Eldaras, and it took the goblins several years to find a suitable sea route and dock the ship near the coast. The Black Pearl roamed around the periphery for a long time but could not find a suitable sea route.

"Look, the Black Pearl is trying to get closer."

"Let them in! Better to hit the rocks."

"Don't you see how much we have paid to find that sea route? Several ships have been sunk and dozens have been stranded. Jack is dreaming if he wants to find the right sea route in one go."

Jack frowned and thought for a moment, then decided not to go in. He explored a sea route on the periphery that would allow him to get close to a thousand yards, and then park the boat sideways.

"All guns, scale 5, load."

“Fire—”

The crew immediately opened fire, and the cannons roared, firing shells at the goblin ships on the shore.

"Boom boom boom——"

Shells exploded around the ship, and although few shells hit the target, the goblins were still sweating. They had just forgotten that the range of the cannon was twice that of ordinary artillery.

The Black Pearl could indeed not get in, but the same thing would happen if the shells were fired at it.

The goblins suddenly became chaotic and rushed to the ship desperately, trying to drive the ship away and avoid the bombardment.

However, Jack had already activated the magic symbol and took over Nedro's command.

"Standard 4, fire!"

The second round of shells fired and immediately achieved success. More than ten shells hit the goblin warship, causing huge casualties. The loss of personnel was secondary, and the most serious was the loss of the ship.

The goblins had just managed to repair a dozen ships by tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, but the bombardment caused several more ships to be damaged.

"Quick! Get the boats moving!"

"Paddle, row faster, we can't stay where we are and become targets for the enemy!"

Soon, the goblin ships started to move, constantly shuttling between the reefs. However, in a hurry, many goblin ships forgot the location of the sea route because of nervousness, and actually crashed directly into the reefs, either sinking or running aground.

The Black Pearl continued its bombardment, firing salvo after salvo at the motionless ships.

Twenty shells hit the goblin ship at once, blowing it up with holes. The goblins on board were lucky that it didn't sink immediately.

In this way, the Black Pearl named and blew up all the goblin ships on the shore one by one. When the battle was over, the cannon barrels were terribly hot, and some were even deformed.

Jack was very pleased. "After we settle the matter here, we will go to Azsuna again. It's a good opportunity to see if Farondis has deciphered the runes."
