Time passed quickly and the day before the departure approached.
“This is so unfair!!”
Charlotte Berry made a short circuit as if it were natural. It was no surprise.
amazing thing.
Leopold also succeeded in opening the Mana Road.
– It grows fast. Can I make a short circuit right away?
At the rapid growth of the guys, Lian expressed heartache while hiding the bubbling.
-Anyway, this guy will learn the best mana sim when he goes home, so leave it alone. I don’t think this is spreading too much.
The person who really needed it couldn’t even make a single battle or a circle.
Even Leopold, who seemed about to collapse at the slightest breeze, made a short circuit.
When I thought about it, it seemed that this was the reason why Rian himself was almost kicked out of his mother’s family as well as his mother’s family.
I opened the Mana Road for now, but I had no talent for swords or magic.
Then, luckily, the older siblings fought and died among themselves, so they became the successors.
“Should I use more elixirs… How do I do this? Captain.”
Except for Rian, there was a reason the rest of the children grew up quickly.
“no. I wish I had spent 1,000 pennies. If you use more, it will only come out as sh*t.”
Lian made a decision, barely holding back tears.
He had already wiped out all the low- and medium-priced elixirs on the pirate island.
The three kids trained and ate them all.
Of course, Ryan didn’t see much effect.
“Still, the captain needs to wake up… … .”
“Why is the mana sensitivity of the guy who drives the ship like that? Tsk.”
It’s driving a ship. All you need is a user with only the mana rod open!
Not only Sebas, but even the vice-captain seemed to be disappointed.
They didn’t care about the growth of other children.
The goal was just to sign a contract with Lian’s spirit armor.
It was to prevent them from dying absurdly even if they couldn’t fight together during a melee.
“It’s done. Charlotte! receive.”
Rihanna threw something at Charlotte Berry.
“Hup!!”
She checked the thrown object and was surprised.
Cube with red light.
“young master… This.”
“Contract. You are now a maid and escort.”
“I am… Waiting… !! Maybe this!! A gift?!”
“What is the gift? Just leave it. And since we are pirates, we are not knights.”
Knight or warrior, what does it matter?
In fact, maids aren’t a very low class either.
Handmaids, not maids, are a noble class.
Even so, it’s not something to compare with Daejeon.
Who would treat the pirate captain’s maid in the first place?
By the way, warriors wearing spirit armor are treated as pirates or wherever they go.
The lord, who does not care about rank, even recruited pirates as knights.
“As an escort knight, I will give my allegiance. young master.”
Charlotte Berry bent one knee to the ground and bowed her head.
I said it wasn’t a knight, but seeing that they call it an escort knight.
“okay. just write an article Because I am also an aristocrat. I guess I’ll become a claimant for Count Leon.”
Lian took out the handle of the sword he usually wore.
When the mana flowed, the blade flew out.
Because it was in the form of a rapier, the weight was not burdensome.
“hmm… what was it Since there is no state religion, there is no need to protect the temple… No land, no need to fight treason… First of all, since we are pirates, there is no need to protect the weak… Just you are my knight from now on. take good care of me I hereby appoint Charlotte Berry as my knight.”
Knock knock.
Lian struck Charlotte Berry roughly three times with the back of a knife.
“I will sacrifice my life to protect my lord.”
Originally, the fief should be given to the knight, but there was no fief to give.
Still, since the spirit armor is better than a few years of revenue in a decently small town, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
“Wake up. My knight, Charlotte Berry.”
In any case, I immediately finished the appointment as a knight.
“There is this prince of the Sinsenrom Empire as a witness, so an ordination ceremony like this wouldn’t be bad.”
I’ve been eating well and resting lately, so I looked good.
Unlike the Habs family, which had a passive genetic disease, their appearance shone.
Oddly enough, Empress Theresia and her children of the Synsenrom Empire were free from the hereditary disease of facial asymmetry.
I couldn’t help being sick, but… … .
Theresia, too, was once reputed to be Europe’s most beautiful woman, and her youngest daughter Andnéd Harves inherited that title.
“I will consider it an honor for the rest of my life to be a witness in an honorable position. I, Prince Leopold Habs of the Sinsenrom Empire, declare that I am a witness to Sir Charlotte Berry’s knighting.”
The guy who used to tremble at every word has now become a little more dignified.
Of course, I still couldn’t make eye contact with Ryan.
“Yes, yes. I would also like to hear from you. Genius girl knight Charlotte Berry.”
“I will definitely do that when I return to my country. Sir Berry is the most talented I have ever seen.”
Leopold bowed his head and promised.
In fact, it didn’t matter what the witnesses were.
He spent 1,000 pennies on the purchase, but if he got a commercial license at every port in the Sinsenrom Empire, he would benefit by hundreds, if not thousands, of ships.
“ruler. Then Charlotte makes a contract.”
“All right.”
Charlotte Berry’s nicknames were numerous.
Being a female pirate king and having a beautiful appearance, it is inevitable that many people will pay attention to her.
Fire!!
Flames burn all over her body.
Of course it wasn’t painful.
The Crimson Witch was born.
Countless enemies will tremble in terror before her.
“good. good.”
The burning flame gradually took shape and covered the whole body with red armor.
As if it was strange, the guy looked at his hands and body alternately.
“A hot aura covered my whole body. cool. I feel like I can burn anything.”
“Anything else, I’m going to miss out on that.”
Lian licked her lips with envy.
clap.
At that time, a sailor ran outside and delivered the news.
“The assembly order has been given. All the pirates who will participate in the Ingleson-Srang naval battle are supposed to gather in the coastal waters.”
With those words, everyone’s eyes turned to Lian.
If possible, I wanted to wake up before the competition, but there is nothing to regret.
Because he knows how to force awakening.
“let’s go.”

Hundreds of ships were floating in the sea.
there is no minister
“Where the hell did all these pirates come from? Can you eat and live?”
“Our captain is a kid, so he doesn’t know. the sea is wide There are many places to pirate.”
Pirates are no different from mercenaries because they will do anything for money.
Logistics, commerce, escorts, raids on hostile territories, warfare, and even tourism.
The funny thing is that pirate ships don’t attack well.
Do you have a spirit of respect for your co-workers?
So, it is in very high demand.
On the contrary, in certain periods, supply ran for a long time.
“Captain. Other sea pirates also came to this war. That’s why there are so many numbers. In fact, about half of pirates are active here in the West Sea.”
Sebas explained calmly.
The Pirate King is not alone.
The pirates of the North, West and Middle Seas exerted influence in their respective seas.
If Charlotte Berry is not recruited and left as it is, the two seas of the West Sea and the North Sea will be unified in the second half.
What’s more troublesome is to turn it into naval power and dedicate it to the Ingleson Kingdom.
The Ingleson Kingdom rises to the ranks of the Empire by exponentially increasing its colonies based on its maritime rights.
She goes from being a prostitute on a pirate island to becoming an empire’s grand admiral.
‘Now it’s just my subordinate.’
Kirik. Kirik.
A ship in line approached the Going Misha.
Because it was such a large ship, the surrounding waves swayed.
“Little Captain!”
“Oh oh. Pirate King Grandpa.”
Ryan looked up and waved his hand.
“The boat. Was it speedy?”
“This ship is rather fast. Whoops!”
Ryan was proud.
There were only a handful of ironclad ships among the many ships.
Moreover, this piece of iron is speed.
“Then ask for reconnaissance. I know roughly the location of the enemy’s gathering and the time of their appearance, but I can’t pinpoint the exact location.”
“My ship is rather fast, but the recon mission doesn’t look very safe.”
Pirates usually prefer fast ships, but there weren’t many ships fast enough to race with the scout ships of the Thrang Empire.
If there was a fight between the ships that went out on patrol, this side was at a disadvantage.
“I’ll tell you that it’s advantageous in non-competition.”
Pirates should never pay in full in advance.
That’s why there is a separate non-gonghaengsang.
“What if we defeat the enemy scouts?”
“Of course, the battle will be advantageous. There will probably be a big reward.”
“Leave it to me. Pirate King Grandpa.”
“Whoops! Well, do your best.”
The Pirate King smiled softly.
“Oh! If there is sea fog during the battle, follow me unconditionally.”
“Suddenly, what does that mean? Naval battles do not take place on days when there is sea fog.”
“If only. If there is sea fog in the middle of the battle.”
“what. i get it. I will.”
The pirate king tilted his head slightly, then flapped his cloak and went inside.
Destroy enemy scout ships. During a battle, there is sudden sea fog. I thought it was just childish trickery or delusion.
From nob le mt l. com
Just when you’re that age.
“hehehe. Consider yourself lucky to have met me.”
Lian muttered softly as he watched the back of the pirate king as he walked away.
Fidgeting with ＜Heart of Janus＞ in his bosom.
boom!!
A salute was fired.
It is a signal to announce departure.
Shoot!!
Hundreds of ships started moving in one direction.
This amount is almost equal to the naval power of a country.
A few ships joined together and started moving ahead.
These are the ships chosen as scouts.
“kid. What do you think of this war?”
“I will lose.”
“what?!”
The vice-captain was surprised by Lian’s answer.
“Maybe the pirates who fought in the North Sea and the subordinates of our pirate king grandfather are going to strike you in the back?”
“no way. All five subordinates of the Pirate King are old subordinates.”
It means that only those who are already trustworthy remain. however.
“The opponent is the Thrang Empire. And their population numbers are jingling.”
“What does that matter?”
“It means that taxes are being collected enormously. There is nothing in the world that cannot be done with money. If it fails, it’s just that there was little money.”
As expected, the vice-captain seemed incredulous.
“then. Isn’t it a big deal?”
“does not matter. As long as the pirate king is alive and well, the pirates of the West Sea will gather again.”
Pirates will follow the pirate king even if it is not five subordinates.
Of course, those who did not betray among the five subordinates will rejoin.
“The enemies will be determined and bite the pirate king… … .”
“No worries! Whoever controls information controls the sea! What will happen if we destroy the enemy’s spy ship?”
At Lian’s words, the vice-captain tilted his head.
“To leave it to chance.”
“No luck. We rule the battlefield.”
Ryan smiled.
If I hadn’t entrusted him with reconnaissance, I was going to voluntarily leave.
* * *
The Serang Empire attracted all navies from the North Sea, West Sea, and Middle Sea.
The territory of the Serang Empire, located in the center of the continent, was so large that it stretched out to all three seas.
An empire was not an empire for nothing.
“To join hands with such pirates. The authority of us vs. the Thrang Empire is falling to the floor.”
“The pirates number in the hundreds. They are more dangerous than the Ingleson Kingdom’s navy.”
In response to Admiral West Sea’s complaint, Admiral North Sea spoke politely. Meanwhile, Admiral Junghae asked Admiral Seohae.
“By the way, Admiral Andre. Rumor has it that you were robbed of the newest ship by pirates this time.”
“joy! what a noise There is no such thing.”
West Sea Admiral Andre put all his might into dispelling the rumors.
The Naval Research Institute was also pressured to erase records of shipping new ships.
In fact, all interested parties wanted the case buried.
The West Sea Admiral, the Research Institute, and the sailors who boarded the new battleship have nothing good for their careers.
“That’s something you’ll know when you see it. You just need to see whether or not that ship participated in the war this time.”
Admiral Zhonghai seemed to have already obtained the blueprint.
“Rather than that, are you sure that the North Sea Pirates and the West Sea Pirate King’s subordinates decided to betray you?”
“Because of that, the Admiral of the Admiralty complained a lot to the Treasury.”
“We should take this opportunity to step on the Inglesons. I’m already annoyed to see the guys from the Ibel Kingdom setting it up.”
In fact, it is the Serang Empire that has the most warships on the continent, but in the North Sea, the barbarian Nords of Valhalla and the Hanseatic League, a merchant alliance. In the West Sea, to the Ibel Kingdom and the Ingleson Kingdom. In the Middle Sea, it was pushed back by the Bennett Guild and the cultists.
It must be the joys and sorrows caused by the country’s land mass being too large.
It was difficult to come together this time.
Thanks to this, not only the war expenses, but also the cost spent for temporary peace in the Middle and North Seas was not insignificant.
There were plenty of guys who would rampage if the navy in that area fell out.
“Urgent news. Our scouts from the northwest have been destroyed and have returned!”
Hearing the report, the three admirals frowned and rose from their seats.
I thought the scouting team had the most advantage over them. What happened?
