Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 164: Heading to Gadgetzan

Three months passed in a flash, and the seriously injured crew members had fully recovered.

Chong Quan was quite emotional, "I always thought I was strong before, but after this battle I realized I was just a frog in a well. I was injured by magic without even getting close, which made me feel deeply ashamed. I always thought I was strong before, but I neglected to exercise, and this time I was really awakened."

Since the Black Pearl's victory over the venture capital company, many crew members have become arrogant. In such an atmosphere, Chong Quan and others will inevitably be affected.

Chong Quan was actually fine, he just neglected to exercise, most of the crew members basically did not exercise. They were addicted to the life of luxury and had long lost the spirit of hard work.

Material satisfaction will lead to spiritual degeneration, this is an eternal truth.

Jack also noticed this, but he didn't know what to say.

The crew of the Black Pearl are mercenaries, and Jack does not have absolute management rights over the crew.

As long as they obeyed orders, Jack didn't care much about their personal strength. Their lives were their own, and if they didn't care, Jack couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing that Chongquan had come to his senses, Jack smiled and said, "You have learned a lesson from your failure. It is not too late for you to work hard now. Don't be like those who died in the battle, it is too late to make amends."

Thinking about the minotaurs who died in the battle, many of them were not weaker than Heavy Punch. They were just unlucky and did not meet Jack first like Heavy Punch did, nor did they avoid the vital parts when the magic attack came like Keane did.

After a few days, the mist above the magic spring dissipated.

Leanda sent someone to inform Jack, "Captain Jack, the two swords can be taken out."

Jack rushed over immediately, and Leanda used magic to float the two swords up.

When Jack got the two swords, he immediately felt something different. He felt life on the two swords, which were the souls of Irina and the pet bear.

The bear soul was full of wildness, which added a lot of strength to Jack. When holding Quel'nath, it was much lighter than before, almost indistinguishable from a normal long sword.

Irina's soul is full of fighting instincts. She can control the flames of her blazing sword and actively attack nearby enemies.

The functions of the two swords have been greatly improved, which has enhanced Jack's melee combat ability so that he will not lose the power to resist when the enemy gets close to him.

This magical world is extremely unfriendly to melee professions. Even if you have powerful melee weapons, you may be killed instantly by a magic spell from the enemy.

King Varian was so powerful at the beginning on the Broken Shore, but in the end he was crushed by Gul'dan, right?

Leanda: "Congratulations, sir. These two swords are already divine weapons."

Jack waved his hand, "It's still a long way from being a real artifact."

"Leanda, I'm leaving Eldre'Thalas soon. I wonder if I can recruit a few mages from Sindra."

Ryanda didn't expect Jack to make such a request. "Sir, do you want to recruit mages to increase the combat power of the Black Pearl?"

Jack nodded, "That's just one aspect. Another aspect is that I want to upgrade the Black Pearl and I need some wizards to help me."

When Leenda heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "You are the benefactor of Sindra, so of course you can recruit mages. I think Sindra also thinks so."

Jack successfully recruited four elven wizards, and then prepared to set off with Chong Quan and others.

Before they could leave, a group of ogres came over.

"His Majesty……"

Jack waved his hand, "It's better not to call him that." "Sir!"

Molda said excitedly: "Please let us follow you."

Jack looked at these big guys. He was not worried about not being able to feed these big-bellied men, but he was worried that they were too big to fit into the cabin.

Molda: "We walked all the way from Steamwheedle Port after arriving in Kalimdor. We are familiar with the situation in Thousand Needles, and taking me with us can save us a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Jack immediately changed his mind. If the ogre couldn't get into the cabin, then he should make the cabin door bigger.

If you really can't change it, you can use the shrinking wand! Just change the power and shrink the ogre to normal size.

This decision made their subsequent journey much smoother.

After entering the Thousand Needles, you enter the paradise of centaurs and harpies.

The flying harpies are the most despicable female bandits in Kalimdor. They rob passers-by, take them to their nests, and keep asking for money until they die.

For a civilized society, this habit of reproduction is really unacceptable.

They come and go like the wind, high and low, and are hard to guard against. Ordinary pedestrians have no way of effectively attacking them.

Even with bows and arrows, it is difficult to drive them away completely.

At this time, the hail of bullets showed its advantage. Jack easily marked five targets, and then he could easily kill them with a hail of bullets.

Even if there were hundreds of harpies, killing five of them at once would be a huge loss. When the harpies flew down to plunder, it was enough for Jack to use three or five rounds of gunfire.

Counting at least fifteen people, that was one-tenth of the number of harpy men. For the harpy men who had no discipline at all, this was enough to make them flee.

The most valuable items on the harpy are probably the light feathers on their bodies. Light feathers are magical items and are the magical materials used to cast the slow fall spell.

But this thing is not expensive. Most large birds have it, and its output is much greater than that of the harpy people.

Except for those who make a living by collecting light feathers, no one else would deliberately collect light feathers.

Therefore, these poor ghosts are not worth plundering.
The threat of the harpy was eliminated, and the journey became smoother. But everyone did not relax their vigilance, because the middle of the Thousand Needles was the range of the centaurs.

The terrain of Thousand Needles is very suitable for ambush by centaurs. If it weren't for the ogre leading the way, Jack and his companions would have to fight many battles with the centaurs.

If that were the case, Jack and the others would not suffer too much loss, at most they would just waste a lot of ammunition. But for the Centaurs, it was unknown how many would die.

Under the coverage of the barrage time, the Centaur had no chance of rushing to Jack.

But Jack is not a murderer, nor does he need to kill enemies to level up, so of course he has to choose the easiest way to get out of Thousand Needles.

The easiest way is not to fight. Even if you encounter a centaur, you should avoid fighting if possible.

Once the Centaurs approach, Jack will go back and get a few bombs and give them to Molda, asking him to throw them to scare the Centaurs.

But this method does not work every time, so Jack needs to use the barrage time.

Faced with endless bullets, the Centaurs had no choice but to retreat.
