“Forward!”
Tarti shouted at the top of his lungs.
Choaaaak!
His ship, hoisting a red flag, led the way, followed by a dozen frigates, and behind them were the ships of other admirals and captains, forming a wedge formation.
'It wasn't originally supposed to be a technique to be shown here. It was said to be a magical tool of the family's vision. However, this is an opportunity. Just by forcing Cariosa to step down, I can gain tremendous fame. If I grow my power like that, I might be able to return to my homeland someday.'
'I have absolutely no intention of letting my guard down. The formation they are using right now is the crane-wing formation. Cariosa's fleet is probably sailing far away and slowly surrounding us. To guard against the main force or a diversionary operation. And the moment they realize there is no such thing, they will swarm us and sweep us away.'
“I’ll finish it before then.”
'So please run away, you great white shark of the empire. Please run away, and bring me the fame of having made you step down!'
Tarti had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but on the outside he acted as if he was only thinking about fighting and killing.
“Let’s go! It’s shark hunting!”
'We're lucky we're not being hunted.'
He drew his sword and aimed it forward.
“Everyone, get out of the small boat! We have to force them into the waterway.”
'It's really dirty and big. It'll sink even if you brush past it. Keeping your distance is the key.'
I strongly recommended it to other pirate captains.
“Do not be afraid of the Eastern knights who part the sea! My warriors run across the sea!”
'Please don't let anyone get hurt. You are the only ones I can trust among these pirates.'
It boosted morale by showing a sight never seen before.
And as all pirates do, the pirate captains were thrilled by the sight.
“We’re going too!”
“Drop assault ships at a distance of 500 meters! Keep a safe distance from the order and charge.”
“That battleship is ours!”
“Set sails! We’ll take them down!”
“Pirates never forget their grudges. This time, Asenortha will die at sea too!”
Unseasonable waves rose in the night sea, and hundreds of assault ships descended.
It was a small boat that could carry about fifteen people, and it was so fast that we were able to get under the enemy ship in an instant and start climbing.
“Get a long hook! That’s a moving castle!”
“Even the unsinkable battleship that can’t sink won’t be the unsinkable battleship that can withstand our attacks!”
“Go and get it done!”
About six assault ships came down from one pirate ship.
There were about 150 pirate ships left, so a total of over 700 assault ships sailed across the water.
The hook-wielding pirate gestured furiously in the air and shouted insults.
“I’ll let you walk on wooden planks!”
“Let’s make it with meat rice!”
Eastern warriors jumped into the water from ships flying red flags and raced alongside the assault ships.
Chook, chook!
"let's go!"
“For Tarti!”
Hundreds of assault ships charged toward the flagship Tempesta.
Choaaaak! Choaaaak!
It was like a school of whitetip sharks rushing toward a wounded great white shark.
“Let’s show an example!”
The great flagship of Asenortha is like a rocky island, but the pirates' spirit is like the waves, and now the waves are rushing to cover the rock.
Tarti looked at the sight seriously and led the pirate ship 300 meters ahead of Tempesta.
'It's really big.'
The flagship of a great family that had ruled the eastern seas for hundreds of years had a majesty that was worthy of being looked up to.
“But just today!”
Buck, buck!
He pulled out his long and short swords and tried to jump into the water.
But where he arrived was not a soft surface, but a hard wooden plank.
bang!
"evil!"
"no!"
As he was about to take his last step, Saya Yan grabbed his waist with all her might.
Boom!
Tartiga rolled across the floor as it was.
“Yen! What are you doing-!”
He sat up in a huff, and Saya Yan pointed to the water with an uncharacteristically trembling hand.
"uh?"
Tarti thought he was hallucinating.
“What the hell is this-!”
A fire broke out on the water.
Whoosh whoosh!!
Cheeeeek-!
Steam rose everywhere, tongues of red flame flickered, and brutal pirates screamed.

“Turn the boat around!”
“Eww!”
“It’s hot!”
* * *
Flames erupted across the sea in a 500m diameter area centered around the Tempesta, the flagship of the Storm Fleet.
Flames over 1m high were raising their heads and boiling the sea water.
The sea, dyed red by the flames, was eerie.
Tarti held on to the sign railing and looked out at the sea and Tempesta.
A sudden spasm occurred on his once strong face.
'what?'
It was impossible.
'Hey, this is the middle of the ocean.'
It was something that should not have happened.
'What the heck is this fire…?'
The world is beautiful when it retains its original form.
The sky is blue, the night is dark, and water puts out fire. These are the laws of the world. When these laws are followed, the world is beautiful and peaceful.
The sight of a world where the laws were twisted was incredibly bizarre.
Tongues of flame flickered over the water.
A small assault ship was just engulfed in flames.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Lights, lights out!”
“Bring me water!”
“Hey, you idiot! There’s water everywhere! Do you think this is a fire that can be put out by water?”
Cheeeeek!
The rising steam heightened the terror, making breathing difficult and obscuring vision.
Two assault ships collided while moving at high speed.
bang!
The ship was hit sideways, and though it was not damaged, it rocked back and forth so much that the pirates on board were thrown into the burning sea.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Gulp!”
“Save me!”
The screams of the suffocating and the screams of the burning were heard simultaneously.
The evil wave-like momentum subsided like an ebb tide.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of hands rose to the surface, thrashed, then slowly burned and sank.
Tarti looked at his warriors and retainers with a bewildered expression.
“My lord!”
“Ugh!”
“Please save me!”
They ran at full speed towards the nearest Tarti ship.
“Save me!”
“Please, please!”
“Take me too!”
The other pirates tried to grab their legs, but the Eastern warriors swung their long swords and cut off their hands.
“I’ll cut you down!”
“Get out of the way!”
"this guy!"
wickedness!
They charged the fastest, got under Tempesta the fastest, and therefore stayed in the flames the longest.
Their armor was also fire resistant, but with the sea boiling, it was a miracle they hadn't been reduced to ash.
“Papa, quick. Put the ladder, the rope ladder down!”
Tarti regained his composure with almost superhuman judgment and gave orders.
The lower-ranking warriors and sailors who had been staring up at Tempesta absentmindedly moved hurriedly.
“Yes, my lord!”
“Put the rope ladder down!”
“Save the warriors!”
At that moment, someone moved on the bow of the Tempesta.
Although it was a long distance away, Tarti could see the sight with strange vividness.
“… … Soletaras.”
He pulled back his white hair, revealing his forehead, and absentmindedly observed the hell he had created with his yellow eyes.
His sharp white uniform and gold decorations did not match the rough sea, but he looked like a man who would wear whatever he wanted, wherever he went.
He was wearing a black glove on one hand, while the other was bare, revealing a glowing orange light that pulsed like a heartbeat.
“… … Dragon Blood Imperial Clan.”
Woohoo!
The mana in the air fluctuated unusually, and Tarti's instincts alerted him to the danger.
“Tarti!”
"know!"
Sayaya Yan also shouted, and Tarti shouted retreat until his throat was hoarse.
“Give me the boat!”
bang-!
Whoosh whoosh-!
The next moment the flames rose three times higher.
“My lord!”
The warrior who had barely managed to escape the flames flew up as if he had exploded, then sank, blackened and sooted.
Cheeeeek-!
White steam rose and fell like a wall once.
A 500m diameter gap appeared around Tempesta, where hundreds of assault ships and thousands of pirates had gathered.
Swaaaahh …
The sea rippled indifferently as if it had never boiled over, and not a single piece of the assault ship's plank was in sight.
Tarti looked at the Soletaras royal family with a bewildered expression under his iron mask.
“Like that, that strong?”
Cariosa could also raise storms, but the number of times she actually raised storms or maelstroms in naval battles was limited.
She wanted to take away the ships the pirates had and get their people and treasure back.
Although he led a powerful army of battle wizards, he was not very good at wielding fire spears or force spears, and although he commanded seven fleets, he preferred landing operations.
Tarti also lived as a pirate and saw much death.
But I have never seen thousands of people die without ever being able to lift a sword.
Saya Yan bit her lip.
The neutral voice was filled with both anger and overwhelming emotion.
“Valencianus.”
“Valencianus?”
“The twin brother of the Holy Emperor.”
Tarti gritted his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut.
'The horizon is fine.'
The siege of Cariosa is not yet complete.
'Still, there are more surviving assault ships than burned ones. They will soon come to their senses and return to their ships.'
The pirates' remaining forces were also considerable.
'Our warriors survived relatively well.'
The damage wasn't unbearable either.
'Let's step back for now. If you think you've shaken off your competitors-'.
At that moment, a raiding ship came down from Tempesta.
There was a Dragon Blood Emperor in white uniform riding there.
Tarti looked at him and let out a sigh.
The royal family was clearly laughing.
* * *
“Thank you, Valencian.”
Cariosa spoke in a serious voice.
It seemed that losing the seeds was quite a blow to his pride.
“Bring me holy water!”
“Order from Saturday! You drank too much seawater.”
The wounded knights and the surviving servants were dragged up from behind, and the chaplains ran here and there.
I answered, feeling slightly dizzy and having a headache.
“What’s your situation? We’re on the same boat.”
“You originally intended to wear it around as a sword ornament. And now that you’re out in battle, I can’t even imagine how much your emperor will bill me for.”
I helped her use the correct expressions.
“He is not only my emperor, but also your emperor. Duke.”
Cariosa smiled and nodded.
“Keep that in mind, Your Highness.”
I saw the knights being treated and said quietly.
“It seems like the seeds and their bodies were sunk together. Can you please convey my apologies to the bereaved families and the knights?”
She shook her head slightly.
“Our family and its vassals are originally the chiefs. The sea is our home. The enemies will suffer eternal drowning, and the vassals will receive their reward for serving me in the palace of the deep sea. There will be no need for apologies.”
I nodded and tried to forget what I had just seen.
"ha."
Burning pirates to death would be praised by even the most strict priest or judge, but I had slaughtered perhaps innocent people in the slums.
The voices crying out for help were not much different from anyone else's.
It looks like they're overlapping.
It sounds like it's overlapping.
This was useless sympathy, and it was a problem.
That's what Jaylilith had told us to be wary of.
Those who deserve to die and those who had to be killed are different.
They were all deserving of death.
They should have all been deserving of death.
They were all deserving of death.
Ugh!
My head felt like it was going to burst.
“fu*k.”
I breathed in and out, swearing, and finally clenched my teeth.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
“Valencianus?”
Cariosa looked at me with a puzzled expression, and I forced myself to smile and raised my head.
For a moment, she made a bewildered expression, reached out, wiped my eyes, and brought her fingers to her lips.
crazy.
I said, trying to keep my expression as calm as possible.
Since I don't naturally tolerate lies, I had to be careful not to tell the whole truth.
“That magic tool from earlier. A shoe that can walk on water. I wanted it.”
It wouldn't be bad to kill them and bring them back, but it would be better to bring the guys who had them under my, no, under the imperial family.
“Me too. I was thinking about getting off the training ship.”
“I want to keep what’s mine, can you send it to me?”
She looked around.
The advancing assault ships scattered in all directions, fleeing towards their motherships, while Tempesta's battle mages fired their mobile heavy crossbows, enchanted with destruction magic.
Track the assault ship with the 'Mark' and 'Track' spells, grant the 'Shockwave' spell to the thick crossbow arrows, and pull the trigger.
Hit, hit, hit, squeak!
As the purple glowing arrow split the night sea, an assault ship inevitably sank.
bang!
The moment the arrow hit the hull, a purple wave spread out, and pieces of wood and pirate meat flew up and fell into the water with a thud.
When something recognizable fell on the surrounding assault ships, the pirates would scream.
Cariosa spoke with a look of healing, as if the scream were a sweet hymn.
“If anything happens, I’ll come rescue you right away. Do you know how to swim? Just go and kill them all.”
Hearing that cheerful voice, I smiled bitterly inside.
Because contrary to expectations, he wasn't going to kill me.
