Every Easterner knew the name Cariosa, and every pirate feared the shark flag.
However, Cariosa's appearance was surprisingly unknown to the pirates, as all pirates who saw her died.
Pullek looked at the Eastern Sea men as if he were dreaming.
“Kill them all!”
“The sea maggots are swarming!”
“Let’s split his head open and throw it into the sea!”
“Make the dead envious!”
A school of sharks rushed from the boat, screaming terrifyingly.
They wore armor made of iron plates, blue cloaks, and were armed with five or more harpoons and heavy straight swords.
Thud!
Their armor was strong enough to block even the most powerful crossbows from the front.
Wedge!
Their javelins were strong enough to pierce a pirate captain behind the third wall.
Tsukaaaaak-!
Their swordsmanship was so powerful that they could cut down two or three pirates in one blow.
Leading the way was Cariosa, wielding the magical sword Tempest and Tailwind.
“Fifteen people on a dead man’s coffin!”
With each swing of her sword, a blade of wind spurted out.
“Plus, a bottle of rum!”
It is said that the Asenorta family's castle has a room that displays the models of famous pirate admirals.
All the pirates believed the rumor, and Cariosa, with her gleaming grey eyes and sharp teeth, seemed more than willing to believe it.
The song she sang also had a tune more suited to a blood-soaked hunter than a great lord.
“Shoot, shoot!”
“Aim for the legs, not the head!”
“Focus on one person and shoot!”
On the wall.
The charming brown-skinned pirate admiral, Pagin, roared and struck the back of the heads of the archers and crossbowmen.
“Three of us will take charge of one person!”
“Focus on blocking it! They’ll catch it from above!”
“Keep your distance! Don’t run away!”
Under the walls.
Polek in the green coat, Tenye in the pigtail, and Oungulla in the hook somehow managed to keep these pirates in line.
“Prepare to fire ballista!”
“Aim for the boat!”
“Let’s send those sharks into the water!”
There were ballistae installed here and there on the walls, and the pirates had learned how to use them from Arinth.
"load!"
“Put the oil jar on!”
"aiming!"
"firing!"
With a bang, arrows as big as flagpoles were shot out.
Whaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwajijijik!
The landing ships of House Asenorta were large and sturdy, but they were no match for the ballistae, and even their three-story decks were eventually penetrated.
Thick oil leaked out from inside the jar and caught fire, and soon acrid smoke rose up like crazy.
“Cough! Cough!”
It was too difficult to burn a ship protected by a fire resistance spell, so this was an oil that was modified to make the sailors suffer.
“Good!”
“Kick my ass!”
“Let’s keep pushing forward like this!”
It was effective, as the spirit of the seamen pouring out of the landing craft was dampened.
At that moment, Cariosa sheathed one of her swords and blew her trumpet to signal the battle mage.
Phew!
Upon hearing the trumpet sound, the battle wizard fired a 'spear of fire' into the sky to signal the battleship a second time.
Wedge!
“Your Majesty's command!”
“Prepare to fire ballista!”
“Start casting destruction art!”
“Aiming Assist spell activated!”
With Valencianus helping to subdue the Anchor Wing Islands, there was no need to have so many wizards to protect the landing ships.
They remained on all twelve battleships, waiting for orders, and finally were called.
Hit! Hit! Hit!
Huge silver-iron arrows were caught in the ballistae lined up on the deck.
Two battle mages attached themselves to a ballista and enchanted its arrows.
“Pure power, power to change the world!”

“Go forward, go forward. To the ends of the earth!”
From the destruction spell signboard 'Spear of Power', the pure power diffusion 'Flying Orb', to 'Tailwind', which increases the range of attack.
All sorts of expensive reagents were consumed, including golden potions, lightning-struck branches, and typhoon bird feathers, but it was nothing special for the greatest lord of the East.
“The daughter of the storm has set foot on land!”
The officer remaining on board orders to fire.
Whaaaa …
Dozens of ballistae fired from a single battleship.
Enveloped in a mysterious purple light, the giant crossbow bolt traversed a distance of several kilometers with speed and accuracy that would normally be impossible.
bang-!
I blew away the ballistas on the triple wall one by one.
Page looked frustrated, his face darkening as he ducked his head to avoid the debris.
'No. No. No.'
The bloodthirsty Cariosa gritted her teeth and roared.
“Go and get it done!”
* * *
Polek saw one of his eastern soldiers decapitate one of his men and then throw the head over the wall.
“Hahahaha!”
An eerie laughter echoed across the docks.
The pirates still had the numerical advantage.
The battlemages on the battleships were also afraid of mistaken fire and could no longer fire their enchanted ballistas.
But the elite soldiers wearing the shark flag were determined to end it all today.
“Kill these damn sea maggots!”
“I will tear apart everything that lives and breathes on this island.”
“The time has come to repay theft and robbery!”
The Navy couldn't be built overnight.
The soldiers of House Asenorta were mostly professional soldiers, and like all elite soldiers of this era, they had been dedicated to Asenorta for generations.
They are pirates who have been around since the time of the Interspecies.
Being present at this historic moment, marking the end of a fight that had lasted since the days of their father's father and his father's father, filled them with a deep sense of pride.
An eastern soldier charged toward Polek.
“He’s captain-level!”
“Kill him!”
Wedge!
The harpoon flew forward with great force and grazed Polek's head.
Polek took a step back without realizing it.
“He’s mine!”
“Let’s cut our hair and decorate the cabin!”
“Lay out the red carpet before the daughter of the storm!”
My body shrank greatly in front of the eyes filled with excitement.
At that moment, a loud voice woke Polek up.
“Polek! Fall back to the walls!”
The large admiral, Oungula, grabbed Polek's shoulder with his good right hand.
bang!
Swinging the hook and knocking away flying harpoons was a bonus.
“Go and build a barricade inside the second wall. If we continue like this, it’s all over.”
“Your Majesty-!”
Polek reflexively asked after his well-being.
The most brutal army on the sea had landed on the docks, and several eastern soldiers had already climbed the first wall.
Oungula said with a bitter laugh.
“I’ve been on the run my whole life. It seems like there’s nowhere left to run. It’s not often I get the chance to encounter big names like the Daughter of the Storm or the Platinum Knight.”
A meaningful expression appeared on Oungula's rough face, and Polek turned around and ran.
“Please come back!”
Oungula held a long trident in his good hand.
“That seems difficult.”
And then he headed towards Tentia, who was radiating a fearsome aura.
* * *
Tentia was Valencianus's escort knight and was not originally required to participate in the landing operation.
However, during the process of subduing the Wing Islands of the Anchor Archipelago, several Eastern Knights had escaped, and Cariosa was eager to fill the gap in their strength, while Valencianus was eager to achieve more feats in order to erase his guilt of having abducted Tarti.
'I'm sorry, sir.'
'No. Just give the order.'
So, like a faithful knight, Tentia decided to serve his lord with iron and blood.
“In fact, it’s not worth just looking at this from the boat.”
Chaeng, and bang!
Tentia muttered as she deflected the incoming arrows with her platinum armor and decapitated one of the pirates.
“I can’t stand the idea of landing on the enemy’s key stronghold and engaging in fierce siege warfare.”
Beneath her helmet's visor, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.
“Besides, I also wanted to show the power of the Imperial Knights to the eastern sailors.”
Tentia looked around the battlefield and was certain that victory was certain.
“Get out!”
“Run away!”
The pirates who had climbed the first and second walls were already retreating to the third wall.
“Ahhhhh! How dare you-!”
“Don’t blame us! We don’t want to die like dogs.”
There were also pirates who cut off the heads of captains and officers and ran towards the eastern soldiers.
Of course, they were beheaded amicably, providing additional supplies.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
“We will go to the highest place, to the deepest place!”
The Eastern Sea Men were already infiltrating through the collapsed walls.
At that time, there was a figure blocking them.
He was over 2m tall with a coarse beard and an Oungula.
He stood in front of the eastern soldiers and brandished his trident.
“Khaha!”
Boooooooong-!
Phew!
Blue Mana Blades Blazing tridents formed a huge semicircle, and several eastern soldiers rolled on the ground.
“I am Pirate Admiral Oungula! Those who cannot overcome me will never overcome the walls!”
It was a cry as if telling me to look at him.
Of course, the Eastern Sea men had plenty of experience dealing with 'strong individuals'.
“Shoot!”
In an instant, the soldiers gathered and formed a formation, and dozens of crossbow shots from the magic tool were fired.
Tentia thought that Oungula would roll on the floor.
'No matter how much of a sword expert you are, it's impossible to take that with your bare body. You'll get hurt, your fighting ability will drop, and eventually you'll bleed to death.'
T-ding!
But what was heard was a counter-argument different from what was expected.
“!?”
Tentia saw that there were a lot of purple scales growing under Oungula's clothes.
Support!
His muscles bulged as his clothes tore.
Gill-like fins flapped from its ears, webbed fingers grew between its toes, and spines protruded along its spine.
'Mixed race?'
Tentia turned and headed towards him.
“I’m not your opponent. Leave it to me.”
'That's what I wanted to say.'
In contrast to his serious and dignified voice, he had a faint smile underneath his mask.
The eastern soldiers looked at Tentia, nodded, and stepped back.
The scaled giant and the plate-clad knight looked at each other from a distance of thirty paces.
Tentia wrapped the Mana Blade around Hwahan.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
“His Majesty Valencianus’ knight, Tentia. What is your name?”
The red mana blades ripple like bloody waves, and Oungula also adds blue mana blades to his trident.
Woohoo!
“Oungula. He’s the pirate general.”
There was a sense of pride transcribed in his booming voice.
Tentia asked with a slightly curious tone, deliberately provocative.
“You must be the leader. Which king appointed you general?”
“Your Majesty Aquila, you are the monarch of this Anchor Islands.”
“You call yourself a king. No one recognizes you?”
“Are you different?”
“Of course.”
“If you think so, I have nothing more to say.”
Tentia took a step forward and asked another question.
“You’re a sword expert. You could be living well without doing this, so why did you become a pirate?”
Oungula let out a soft sigh.
“The only place that would accept a scaly monster is a gang of bandits.”
Tentia nodded her head.
If he was born like that and was only able to hide his scales after gaining strength, then it is entirely possible.
“They didn’t accept you, they used you, poor warrior.”
Oungula clicked his tongue.
“Then you are different? A knight?”
How is this any different from committing murder while being used by one's lord?
It was a question that perhaps I had pondered in my heart at one time.
But Tentia now knew where the essence lay.
“You and I both live and eat as human butchers. However, those who call us both human killers are children who know nothing. Honor lies in the reason why one swings a sword.”
The world's affairs were ultimately subject to interpretation, and it was up to each individual to decide how to interpret them.
“What a pity, monster. If you had something to protect and a master to serve, you could have become a great warrior.”
There was a sincere regret in Tentia's voice.
The knight race, which was a mixture of elves, ogres, and humans, usually looked favorably on those with strong mixed-race characteristics.
Oungulla raised his trident and shouted.
“You’re not the first person to say that to me. And you won’t be the last!”
Percussion!
The next moment, the scale giant and the red knight ran towards each other.
