Episode 27
##027
The terrain in which the sea was indented into the land in the shape of a ‘[‘ was called a ‘bay’.
The coalition, trapped in the ‘bay’ for the port bombardment, vigorously checked to block the approach of the Serang Empire.
Even so, the assault ships pushed into the ‘bay’ forcibly.
Beep!
Normally, I wouldn’t charge like this, but even the terrain was overwhelmingly advantageous.
Compared to the Ingleson-Pirate Alliance, the Imperial Fleet had a much better warship performance with a single chain of command.
Is it because of the confidence that comes from this point? Maybe that’s why, despite being beaten, he moved forward quickly.
“Advance!! Shoot the Easy-Po (Shield Magic Bullet)!!”
Of course, the damage wasn’t that great.
Due to the nature of naval battles, it is disadvantageous to close the distance first, so the Easy Gun was developed to offset that disadvantage.
They generously fired easy guns in front of them.
“To waste so much of Izpo in the beginning.”
The Empire wanted to end the battle at once with overwhelming force.
The allied forces looked at the imperial army like that, and far from being afraid, they were relaxed.
No, I was ridiculed.
“Stupid bastards. I asked. I was definitely bitten.”
“I guess so. It’s time to strike back. Raise the signal flare!”
Signal flares were fired into the sky from several Allied ships.
Piruru. pop!!
A smoke screen spread thick yellow smoke in the air.
The Thrang Empire saw that.
“what? what about those smokes? Why in this situation?! ”
“west… no way. Could there be something more?”
“ah… … !!”
It was a car that felt that the size of the allied forces was smaller than expected.
Of course, Lian did the preliminary work.
– Not fully assembled yet.
– Judging that head-to-head confrontation is unreasonable.
-First, the assembled fleet shelled the port of the Serang Empire.
– Seen as a strategy to pass the time.
Fake information continued to be leaked in this way.
Of course, it looked plausible, so the Empire side was caught.
-It seems that pirates are not united.
An Allied raid on the harbor did not seem strange as it might take a year to assemble.
Rather, it was a rational decision.
Head-to-head confrontation is impossible until the troops are fully mustered.
“enemy! enemy. Allied forces appearing in the rear!!”
Should I say I was too complacent?!
I believed the information too openly.
As a result.
“Besieged back and forth!!”
[*
‘*’ is the allied forces trapped in the ‘bay’.

The imperial army blocked the entrance to the bay.

A newly appeared allied force besieging the imperial army blocking the entrance.
[*tooth)
Rather, the empire was trapped in reverse.
If you try to break through the siege by force, the allied forces that originally trapped the port will bite your tail and won’t let you go.
In the end, he suffered enormous damage and was forced to retreat.
“Tsk. Are you tricked?!”
“You don’t have to worry too much. We have cards we haven’t played yet.”
When the prince of the Thrang Empire clicked his tongue, the captain of the special battleship showed a relaxed smile.
“You mean the pirate king’s subordinate? Didn’t the Norse pirates say they cooperated?”
“yes. Planck is said to be the most trusted subordinate. I decided to provide full support as the next Pirate King.”
“What about the Norse pirates in the North Sea? Why are you cooperating?”
“At first glance, the Norse pirates seem to be from different factions, but they are there. The Inglesons were tricked.”
In fact, there was a corner that the imperial side also believed.
It was from that confidence that he accepted the information coming from the communication line captured by Lian without question.
Even if something goes wrong, it can be corrected.
As now.
“What if they turn on us?”
“You can win whatever you want. If only the pirate king’s flagship is captured, the pirates with low morale will surrender or quickly break away from the allied forces.”
The captain of the special class battleship turned his head to face the new allied force.
It is a siege network composed mostly of pirates.
They were the ones who would run away without looking back if the pirate king in the bay was defeated.
The bottom line was how quickly the pirate king was captured, and whether or not the battle could be ended in an advantageous way was determined.
“Do your best to catch the pirate king. Push in more troops on this side.”
“All right. Your Highness this Prince. I will notify Planck immediately.”
It wasn’t that far away, so the empire sent Planck a communication magic right away.
[Please do as you promised right now.]
Without regret, the overbearing Thrang Empire lowered their stance a little.
“hahahahaha!!!”
Planck was in a very good mood.
The foolish Imperial side fell into a trap, and their ransom hit an all-time high.
[I’ll make sure of the compensation. I will fully support you to become the Pirate King.]
Promises will be kept.
Because there were already exchanged contents as documents.
He’ll probably push it for sure, even if it’s because of his face.
If his own betrayal had been decisive rather than helpful, he would have risen up and down among the rich.
If compensation is not given to the forces that played a decisive role, the group that wants to make a deal with the Serang Empire will gradually disappear in the future.
So, the country values honor.
“good. very good! Hey guys. Fire the signal flare!! The time has finally come.”
Following Planck’s command, a purple smoke grenade was launched into the air.
Beep! pop!! pop!!
Immediately, the treacherous pirates and Norse pirates hoisted purple flags on their flagpoles.
It was to identify the enemy.
Bubber Beopbung!!! Boom!
At the same time, they launched an indiscriminate attack on a nearby coalition ship.
Thanks to this, the allied forces are in the middle of the day.
“what… what!! suddenly.”
“betrayal. It is a betrayal!!”
“What the hell is going on?!”
“Has the pirate king betrayed you?”
“no. It seems to be mine.”
It was a total mess.
Thanks to this, the Imperial fleet was able to stably push additional troops into the gulf.
Thanks to this, the battle started to become a mess with each other messed up.
“sh*t!! Planck!!! Why Planck!!”
The Pirate King was also taken aback by his subordinate’s sudden betrayal.
“You have to get away. This hal of our power has betrayed.”
“Why the hell ?! why.”
“Actually, that guy Planck was a guy with a weird corner, wasn’t he?”
The Pirate King trusted his subordinates too much.
To be exact, the five closest aides.
I didn’t know that there would be a traitor among them.
“Did Toon betray too?”
“Aren’t you friends? Planck and Toon.”
Two out of five betrayed.
The number of pirates belonging to those two was close to the number of pirates here.
This Hal was even more painful because he was one of the elite pirates.
“It’s us, anyway. Why are the Nords?!”
“That’s a little surprising, but I think the Inglesons got it wrong.”
The Nords were a traditional pirate people in the North Sea.
In order to survive as a people living in the frozen and barren land of the Northeast, they have lived on piracy since the past.
They were very warlike, and there was a time when the Ingleson Kingdom was confused at some point.
Seizing the opportunity then, one of the great Norse tribes crossed the raging North Sea and occupied the northernmost lands of Ingleson’s kingdom.
It originally occupied the larger territory of Ingleson, but was pushed to the far north when the War of Succession ended.
“Because even the Nords are divided into several factions.”
This is where the misunderstanding of the Ingleson Kingdom occurred.
There were three great tribes in the land of the Norse peoples, and they were not on good terms with each other.
Because they are still supporting and frying each other in the barren land.
Enemy of enemy is ally.
The Ingleson Kingdom thought it was worth holding hands with the remaining tribes on the mainland, except for those who occupied the northernmost lands of their own.
“Tsk. There are people you can trust In the first place, Nords are born without conscience. I didn’t like them joining me in the first place.”
They were born as pirates.
The concept of ethics and morality was different.
don’t steal other people’s things
why?! Wheat grows in abundance on their land. It’s not fair.
don’t kill people recklessly
Fighting can kill you. Cowards don’t deserve to live.
“Did you just betray yourself? They are the ones who will stay.”
“Perhaps the Thrang Empire put forward the condition that they support the advance of the Ingleson Kingdom.”
“I get it. Stupid Inglesons.”
The Norse looked at the kingdom of Ingleson with ease.
The fact that the land was given in the first place has become an object of conquest from a target of plunder.
-They ate too, so what can we not eat?
The moment one tribe occupied Ingleson land, such a question must have popped into the minds of the other two tribes.
Originally, the three tribes were the only tribes.
It was a way of thinking befitting a warlike Norse.
“Is there any news from the Ingleson Kingdom?”
“They look completely panicked. It will take me a while to come to my senses.”
Part of the Pirate King’s forces and the betrayal of the Norse pirates kept the Ingleson Navy at bay.
Enemy situation on all sides.
It was also a limit to directing traffic so that allies could unite.
It will take a year to reorganize the formation.
“The ones who surrounded them outside?”
1/3 of the troops were hiding and surrounded the back of the Thrang Empire.
It’s a mess inside the bay, but if they apply outside… … .
“More than half are our pirates. Most of them are friendly to the pirate king… … .”
“That bastard Planck had a hand.”
The Pirate King did not directly step forward in deploying troops.
The subordinates were also competent. Due to the curse, the Pirate King did not have the mental capacity to do such delicate work.
For some reason, Planck was actively stepping out, but those who seemed to be in the way this time turned to ambush.
Put the pirates you want to betray as much as possible inside the bay, and the rest of the pirates outside the bay.
The pirate king is cut off.
“The Pirate King needs to get out. If anything goes wrong, they will completely disintegrate.”
If the pirate king was attacked, it was obvious that he would run away without fighting properly.
Loyalty to pirates is just that.
“Can you f*cking pierce it?!”
The Pirate King carefully examined the enemy formations.
Betrayal pirates were nearby, and warships of the Serang Empire were approaching from afar.
“… … .”
The men were silent.
They are pirates, but they are worthy of their name.
There seemed to be no answer even to such talented people.
The answer came out.
“Well, that’s the only one over there… … .”
The pirate king’s navigator pointed to one side.
A coastline that neither the Union nor the Empire comes close to.
It was a reef area called the Wailing Road.
“Passing through that place?! Do you have a chart?”
nonsense.
Without a carefully calibrated chart, the ship would get caught on a reef before going far.
“sorry. Nothing secured… … .”
The navigator looked through the charts he had, but nothing came out.
Then one of the subordinates said.
“Then how about holding out as long as possible? Although at a disadvantage, the overall formation is not bad for us.”
There was no choice but to wait for the pirates who were besieging them on the outskirts to make a save.
At least until the Pirate King is alive and well, they will pretend to fight.
If you hold on and hold on, the battle may enter a lull.
however… … .
“after… Is my fortune up to this point?! I’d rather surrender.”
“that… … .”
“It’s not possible. how… … .”
“You can fight. If we just go ahead… … .”
The subordinates stopped the pirate king.
However, it seemed that the Pirate King had already made up his mind.
“It’s none of my business to know what happened to the Inglesons. you guys have to live Plank That greedy bastard won’t kill you guys as long as he takes my place. I know how capable you are.”
Those in the mission shuddered at those words.
Some even stole tears in anger.
“Turn communications back. If I sacrifice my head, everyone’s life will be saved. How long will I live anyway… … .”
It was the moment to make the final decision.
Beep! Beep!!
A communication phrase that resounds loudly.
The wizard in charge made a quick report.
“It’s communication. Caller… Going Misshaho?!”
Everyone looked around.
It was to find the Going Missha.
Since it has a very unusual appearance, you should be able to find it easily.
however… does not exist?!
No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t find it.
but. there could be… … .
“ha ha ha. little boy It looks like you contacted me because you were concerned. Did you join the Outer Ambush Fleet?”
If so, what you can think of is a place that is building a siege beyond the fleet of the Thrang Empire.
Maybe he joined the pirates there.
Come to think of it, this is a ‘bay’, and a large imperial fleet was densely located at the entrance.
[Look up right. hehehehe.]
“what? The right side is the land, eh!?”
It was only then that I felt something wriggling on the land, not the sea.
