Chapter 6
The trip begins
Hello everyone that isn't reviewing or reading this. This is my sixth chapter in this story. Please someone review I can't get any better unless someone says something. Any way enjoy I don't own any warcraft things blizzard does. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
"Ahhhhhhhh the fresh sea air" Jack said to himself.
It had been two weeks since Jack struck a deal with the bandit lords and he had used the rest of the money that was left to buy supplies and transport ships. The morning was crisp and clear. The harbor was buzzing with activity as the last arrangements were being made. All seven thousand of his new army had come in one giant mass. There was a great amount of transport ships in the harbor all of them filled to the brim with men.
Jack looked at the ships and was ready to board them; he just had to say a few things before he left. Jaina and the consul members that all thought he was crazy had showed up to see him off. Some of them forced to be here looked quite unpleased. "Well Jaina thank you for all your help with this and I promise you I well not come back empty handed." Jack said. Jaina only smiled and said "goodbye and good luck." Jack then turned to Jaina's advisors did a quick bow and bored the last ship. With a great bang on the drums of the lead transport ship the others made there way out of the harbor and to the lands of Southern Kalimdor were their drop zone would be.
Jack had made plans to try a stay away from the orcs for as long as possible. With relations still bad he did not want to try and press his luck.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Two days later they had land in sight and would be there by nightfall. Jack who was never good at being on the seas spent much of his time below decks waiting it out. But when land was said he was right up at the front of the ship. Things had gone off without a hitch, or so he thought.
All of a sudden the look out man on the crows nest screamed "HARPIESSSSSSSSSS" Jack wildly looked around to spot them. At the front of the ship 50 harpies could be seen coming towards them. "SPEARMEN TO THE FRONT!!!" Jack yelled. All spearmen that were on the deck of the front ships came running out with their spears ready. They then got themselves ready and were waiting until the harpies were in range. Jack waiting for the right time to give the command could almost feel the pressure in the air; this would be the first time his men would be tested in his view. At the right moment when the first harpies were in clear shot, the order came from Black Stalker who was also in one of the main ships. "FIRE" he screamed, with that order a blanket of spears few out of the ships and into the first wave of harpies.
Out of all the spears that were thrown only ΒΌ of them connected with the first harpies. Being enough to kill the beasts and sending their bodies into the sea. The next wave of harpies were a tad luckier as some of them made it to the ships and picked up some of the spear throwers and other men on the ship. Killing them either on contact or by putting their claws deep into their skin and then dropping them into the ocean. With 2 more waves coming the battle became bloodier. The harpies losing more of their numbers then that of Jack's were still determined to defeat these invaders. Not wanting to be left out of the action Jack took one of the dead spearman's case of spears and began throwing them at the harpies. After a few tries Jack finally hit one of them as they came crashing down on the ship Jack dove out of the way as the harpy came crashing down killing two men that were next to Jack. Thankfully the ship held throughout the battle and the men kept on fighting. The screams of dying men could be heard everywhere. But thanks to the humans over whelming manpower they were able to defeat all of the harpies that decide to stay.
Once the harpies were dealt with the men gave a huge sounding cheer. Jack also glad that his men had done so well against the harpies found himself cheering as well.
When they had finally made landfall on the coast they had set up camp for the night and took roll call to see who was dead. Over all they had lost only 50 men to that fight.
After roll call was finished Jack came up and said. "I am very proud of all of you that fought today. Like I said before, since these 50 people died today their gold well be divide among you. Now get to bed early we move out tomorrow morning." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- All right chapter 6 done read and review.
