Facing the storm at sea, Melsusa personally led the Dragon Knights to rush towards the pirate ship.
"Except those I personally arrested, no one else will be spared."
"yes."
At Melsusa's command, all the dragon knights began to pounce on the pirate ship.
He himself drew his longbow and prepared in the sky. As the commander of the dragon knights, Melsusa's ability was at the top of the entire knight order.
No matter how the wind howled, the fully drawn longbow was aimed at the flagpole of the pirate ship!
In order to speed up their escape in the storm, the pirates even raised the sails. This dangerous move would likely result in them being blown down if they did not grasp the wind direction... However, this situation also shows that these pirates were already rushing around like headless flies.
As long as the sails are removed, the fleet behind can rush towards them.
"Oh, Sun God, let your light shine across this dark night sky!" The arrow shot out a dazzling light that illuminated the dark sea.
Through the pirates' fleet...
It directly penetrated the sails of four or five pirate ships.
"Attack, leave no one behind!"
The brief flash of light also reflected the terrified expressions of the pirates on the ship.
With so many Dragon Knights attacking, how can we escape?!
"Quick, fight, or everyone will die!"
There were countless roars on the ship.
…………
And at this moment, inside the cabin of the pirate ship.
The great pirate Rocks felt the crisis for the first time. He had received news three days earlier that the Jagon Navy would come to attack him, and he had chosen a stormy night to attack.
But……
What is unexpected is that Jagun's imperial regular army is so powerful that it is completely defenseless.
He controlled the sea beasts to attack their ships and destroy them in the sea, but there were such high-level wizards in the navy of the Jagun Empire.
The magic that froze the sea water in an entire space just now made the entire pirate fleet dumbfounded!
What kind of power is that.
There are such high-ranking people in the imperial army, what's the point of playing ball?
It’s important to leave quickly and save your life!
But now it seems that the commander on the other side doesn't want to let us leave safely...
The sound of weapons fighting could be heard from the top of the deck, and the Dragon Knights had already boarded the ship.
"What should we do now? Wizard Beckman. We are no match for the Jagun Empire Army." There are rooms on the bottom floor of the cabin.
At this time, several of Rocks' close associates and the strongest wizard in the pirate group were inside.
"Let's fight them. I don't believe that the Jagun Empire Army is completely invincible. This sea is our world." said a pirate.
"Fight...what can we do? We're just a few dragon knights right now. If we wait until their ships catch up, we won't be able to defeat them."
Even the lawless pirates would show weakness when faced with a truly powerful force...
"Are we just waiting for them to slaughter us? How is that possible?"
"Boss, we have to think of a way." Everyone was looking to Rocks for answers.
Rocks was also waiting for the wizard's answer.
He had united so many pirates and spent such a huge amount of money to launch this mission, but now he had not obtained the mission items and the entire ocean was in turmoil.
That’s Jagun’s navy!
This is probably the most powerful army in the entire northern continent. It is said that this is only a part of it. If all the people come here, there is no way for us to hide... unless we sail far away to the depths of the sea.
"Master Beckman." Rocks called out to the great wizard in front of him again.
Among the pirates, I guess he's the only one who knows his identity...
The pirate wizard was just a cover. The real him worked for the Wizards Guild, and this mission to collude with the Wizards Guild was also obtained from him.
The pirates were responsible for using their savings from years of looting to provide financial support for the mission, but the ones who really wanted the Alchemist's Stone were the Wizarding Society... In exchange, they promised to give the pirates benefits.
And this benefit is better than many things!
As someone who wanders on the sea all year round, any source of power is nonsense.
The only things that really matter to pirates are money and power!
Therefore, the wizards promised to help the pirates, especially the pirate gang to which Rocks belonged, to establish a country, a real kingdom.
This kind of temptation is worth paying money...
Otherwise, your life as a pirate would be in vain.
Being a pirate is not a permanent identity, although most people who become pirates will spend their entire lives wandering the sea, living a life of luxury and debauchery in various islands and small countries.
But those days only belong to the youth. When you reach a certain age, you can no longer beat those young pirates, and your original reputation will be gradually taken away by your younger brothers. The only thing left is that you can use the money to buy a small manor in a small country in the south or north to live.
The northern country of Mersin is a typical retirement country.
In fact, the elderly people living in that country may have some stories when they were young.
However, only a few pirates could live out their retirement in peace. Most of them either died of illness at sea or were killed by later pirate groups. Don't even think about having a good retirement.
It was precisely because of this environment that when Lockes first heard that it could help him establish a country, he agreed without hesitation.
But now...
The mission was unsuccessful, but instead attracted one of the most elite navies in the world.
How could he possibly withstand this kind of combat power!
"Think of a solution quickly, Beckman. Otherwise, if I die, you won't be able to leave alive... When we return to the island, my brothers will definitely not let you go, and so many of them died this time."
The sounds of battle overhead continued.
And everyone below was looking at the wizard in front of them, waiting for a response.
"To be honest, I didn't expect there would be such a high-level wizard in the Jagun Empire's army this time. I heard that their prince came with them this time. I wonder which ship he was on. If we take him hostage, maybe we can escape."
"What a joke! These dragon knights above our heads are enough to give us a headache. Do you want us to rush into the warship?" said a pirate dissatisfiedly.
"I'm just saying... In this storm, even the dragons find it difficult to maintain balance. Let's keep moving forward and let the brothers hold on for a while. As long as we can reach our base camp, everything will be much better. No matter how many of them come, we have a way to deal with them." Beckman said.
He glanced at a room in the cabin that was securely locked.
"Or at least hold on until the rain subsides so we can leave in a small boat and give them this boat to use as a coffin!!"
