"Turn the ships around, north, north!" Following a chaotic series of commands, the pirate fleet moved away to the north, gradually leaving the chaotic sea.
Looking at the ship that was getting farther and farther away, after a long time, a black round hull gradually rose from the water, and then the hatch opened. A figure with brown-black hair stood on the top facing the slanting wind and rain, tracking the pirates who were going away.
"Big Sister Alena, we're out of bullets. We can't catch up and defeat them."
Seeing that the female captain still wanted to give chase, the first mate below couldn't help but loudly dissuade her.
"I know, shut up!"
Alena, who now looked to be about 25 years old, was wearing a white shirt and sturdy trousers. She stepped on the deck and carefully watched the wreckage on the sea and the enemy's retreating path.
"It seems this is the best result we can achieve this time. Sigh, if we could capture a few more ships, I wonder how many hundreds more gold coins we could earn."
She put down the telescope and leaned against the railing on the deck. The ship had completely emerged from the sea and many crew members were busy checking and searching.
The ship she was commanding now was a special ship that she had designed and modified herself. It was oval in shape, with a black painted exterior and two short, thick tubes in the front from which the 'water bombs' used in the previous attack were fired.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely simple and primitive submarine. It can briefly dive dozens of meters underwater and fight for an hour, but it must surface after a long time, otherwise problems such as lack of oxygen and leakage will be fatal.
But even so, such ships played a huge role in the battle and stopped the rampant pirates.
"But next time, if they're prepared, it might not be so easy." Alena waved her hand to stop the compliments from her subordinates.
"That Infic is quite impressive. I wonder where he got all his skills. He advanced so quickly. Even the top graduates from my academy are only at Sequence 6. Who did he learn from?"
After complaining for a while, Alena excitedly jumped into the cabin and began to check the cannon that was fired from underwater. Of course, what was fired were not ordinary cannonballs, but things similar to fish, but they were currently called "water bullets".
"Hey, if only Dad could support me with some more money, it's very expensive to transform this guy."
Aliena tapped the metal components, listening to their quality and any signs of damage, then stretched herself. Beside her, several alchemy apprentices looked curiously at the launch port, ready to ask a few more questions while the alchemist was in a good mood.
"That's all. When I make some money, I'll refine this 'Black Pig'. Then I'll go to the Kingdom's Hinazuki Council and ask if I can exchange the blueprints for a large sum of money."
"I want to be a world-famous alchemist."
Having captured two pirate ships, Alena was in a good mood and prepared to take everyone back to the nearby Colorful Island for rest.
"Let's go to the tavern opened by Sulis for a drink today." Thinking of this, the heroic captain leaned on the deck and enjoyed the fresh sea breeze after the rain.
