Episode 171: Compliments of the Pirate Fort

Mary de Libertania, who brings us home loaded with tons of meat in a glass of ten solids with a red velvet (velcro) cloth like a cloak, greeted us at the entrance to the Pirate Fort (Buccaniers Fort).

"We've got food, as promised. That'll be enough, because I can't carry you back and forth two or three more times."

"I was wondering how you guys could hunt goblin meat..."

Mary, catching shards of meat thrown at her, stares at her shivers.

"It's the flesh of the god beast Behemoth. Did you happen to encounter it in the back of a nearby cave and get lucky or bad..."

"Shit, what's a god beast!?

On both sides of his cheeks, an awesome Mary with a blue tattoo like after the hook nail, but a decent look was unexpectedly loving.

When I showed him horns like Marutai, which God's beast Behemoth had put on a sleigh of some sort, and a large loess fur to explain to him, his cheeks were stretched out to surprise.

It would be a natural reaction as the head of the fort.

Regardless of goblins and the like, no matter how robust the Pirate Fort (Buccaniers Fort) is when it comes to bursting the atmosphere with one hiss and being attacked by a divine beast Behemoth with shattering fangs and tails when rocks are easier.

And they who survive in this harsh environment can properly imagine that there are creatures so powerful that they cannot be helped by man's power.

Smart, but unfortunate, I suppose.

"Don't look like that. Don't worry, I knocked you down."

"Sure, the size of this fur...... but seeing a monster's body with these eyes is so incredible"

For this matter, I'd rather not talk about encountering the 'old man'. Because there's nothing you can do to scare the Marys.

Tentacle Sister is an 'incarnation of Mother Chaos' that is not so vicious, but has incomparable power with the Divine Beast Behemoth and others. If you feel like it, it's possible to blow up one city at a time just by waving a single tentacle.

The only thing that isn't as problematic as the occasional 'old man' scum that shows up in this northern demonic realm is that they just happen to say 'I don't care about it'.

Always, I guess it is the statute of those who have stepped beyond the end of the human world into the outermost realm that shapes life at the whim of such an unclear creature.

"I've been hunting because of it. Let's take the time to talk about working with each other at this meat BBQ party."

"Wait, I've already figured it out... Pirate Fort cooperates with Silesier's brave men. Let's make a promise in my name, the leader. [M] You can't say no if you're shown so much power. I was in real trouble, thanks for the food. I didn't even have enough cold gear, so my fur helps."

Mary bowed her head deeply.

I also felt somewhat honest and kind of like a lotus-leaved female pirate, but I'm hoping you don't get the point.

Now, I don't think you've forgiven my heart.

It's just that even though he's a rogue pirate, he's got a starving woman and child inside. I can't replace my belly on my back. I guess there are kitchen circumstances.

"So, do you mind if I hire Maryd's fleet as mercenaries in the ocean? The reward is food or gold. After the war, if anyone wants it, they're going to hire it as the official navy of the Silesier fleet. Of course I'll have a place to live. Every family."

"Silesier brave, I knew you were strong. That Castile Invincible Fleet opponent has already won."

Mary has an ironic laugh on her blue tattooed cheek.

As for her, I guess she just hates the royal nobility for being shown strength and being respectful. There is no Castile or Silesier. I am aware that they hate me too.

"If the Marys will turn to their side, it's like they've already won. The pirate warships here also fight after doing as much modern repairs as possible in the port of Skeveningen. That way, it's not a fight you can't win. Ask Admiral Drake for more information."

"Huh, don't you have an estimate? Well, you fight on your side, so I'll think you're reliable. But we fight for our lives. If you're about to lose, I hope you don't think we're on our side forever."

"Of course, that's fine. Nice to meet you, Admiral Mary."

Mary grabbed the hand I offered her reluctantly.

Even if my heart is hard and cold, I think my hands are warm.

With nearly a hundred ships of the Pirate Fort on our side, we returned to the port of Scheveningen.

Upon entering the harbour, he was again attacked by an invincible fleet, with the city's exterior walls collapsing or smoke rising.

"Shit...... pretty much, I meant to let you deal with it, but you did it again. If you look at the broken exterior walls, they've attacked you from land."

According to a report by the Philip Marine Corps Commander (Commodore), who was in charge of defending the city of Skeveningen, he was sandwiched in an attack by an invincible fleet from the sea and a fierce attack by a mercenary of reptiles (Reptilians) from shore.

Regardless of the attack of the enemy fleet, which is not equipped with artillery, the Marines also struggled with reptiles (Reptilians) who would play the musket gun bullets with thick outer skin.

"But Philip. Why is the outer wall collapsing so far?"

Siege weapon.

"Oh my God!

"The enemy even had an assembled stone thrower and a broken castle hammer."

"That was... that was dangerous"

Silently nodding Philip. That must be tired of soldiers fighting through defense battles.

Even I just heard the story, I lost my word to too much.

The thick exterior walls and the trenches we were digging worked well, and because a lot of artillery for military ships had been brought into the harbor, the siege weapon managed to protect even the opponent.

That's dangerous.

You'll still know until you get up to enemy land and set up a sandwich in the harbor.

Monotonically, it would be better than attacking from the harbor.

But it is too reckless to land from the sea on enemy land and deliberately attempt to drop a port using even a blunt siege weapon of motion. The defense of the city also involved reinforced knights and soldiers of the Principality of Transhvania.

A dull soldier with a siege weapon doesn't get one when attacked by a Spear Cavalry assault. So it is a force that should be used in a state where the enemy can never attack it.

Fortunately for the enemy, the Knights of the Principality were not stationed in the city of Scheveningen. If stationed, the enemy's blunt siege weapon would have been immediately wiped out during the warring phase.

I'm just lucky I didn't. This is not a tactic.

Castilian landing forces apparently succeeded in withdrawing after a dispatched Duchy Knights from the capital bull sale gave up their offense to the critical shooting in the back after reports of the raid, but such is the theory of results.

I wonder what would have happened if we had dropped the city, and at least all the siege weapons lined up there would have been wiped out.

In other words, the enemy is ready to strike from scratch.

You mean you could have died if you crushed the fleet's port of call...

The aim of crushing enemy ports on the assumption of the total annihilation of allies is beyond the limit, even if we say that we will make strong sacrifices for a great strategy.

When it comes to a man who can assemble such tricky tactics flat out, only one comes to mind.

"Kaara!"

"Yes, Father."

He said, "The odd thing about this beating is it's him."

"Yes, Mage General, you're Lebnand. Except perhaps for the fleet command, which I assume is the case with the Marine Corps command. I thought the general's appointment had been lifted, but the crushing of seven generals in Glades Bay, including the Earl of the Land Admiral Dombargo, may have left the number of generals short, and the Lebnants are recovering"

They make a totally unexpected attack, which makes them hitch from the bottom of their bellies. Against the siege weapon that can destroy the city's exterior walls, this city of Skeveningen has only been blessed with luck in its defense.

If my home port had been dropped, I would not be at war with the invincible fleet. The Silesier fleet lost its only decently functioning shipyard and port of call and was stranded without much replenishment.

Damn......, I don't like Levnants very much.

First of all, there won't be a military teacher who is good with his opponent, who collateralizes the lives of soldiers on his side and punches flat stretches or against them. He'll never have any friends.

I think we can definitely win if we keep it right, but I'm a little afraid that odd lover can't read what kind of hand he's going to use.

I hope Dr. Lyle will be here at this time, but he is still in the King's Capital. Otherwise, I can't.

"Kaala, we're going to have an ops meeting while we get the pirate fleet repaired and cannon geared up."

"Yes, Father! Let's gather the Tabernacles and Admirals."

After this, we finally settle with the Invincible Fleet.

I've become a king, too, and I can't count on you forever. Even if I don't have Dr. Lyle, I need to see that I can do it.

A meeting of operations gathered together the tabernacle, who was the Lord in the harbor liquor store.

This time Kaala, the military teacher, will write a schematic on the blackboard and explain it.

"The Castilian Army stationed in Glades Bay is half-destructed following an attack by the Britannian Army. The invincible fleet trying to supply and reinforce you is still in control of the sea while retreating from the attack by the Britannian Navy. It seems that the intention behind the heavy attack on the port of Skeveningen was to seal the Silesier fleet in its home port."

Kaara makes a kicking noise and draws a diagram with white chalk. The quality of the schematic is somewhat high. He can be a military teacher and seems to be quite powerful. Too much tension, and the chalk broke in a pocket.

Still smiling bitterly at Kaala, who is full of joy, I speak with my hands up.

"That's not a hard story. If you finally crush the Invincible Fleet, you win this one. Nokonoko, if you can get me out to the sea over here, you can set up a fleet showdown and crush it."

"Father of the Nation, if you can, you should see how things are going until Black Cedar Army Ship II and No Ship III are complete..."

Indeed, it can be said that more Black Cedar warships will make victory a certainty only for that matter.

I can tell you, I can't wait long.

"That would also make it possible for the Castilian Army in the port of the replenished Glades to thrive. This is the time to increase your power, and you'll rebuild your power over there, so it's better to beat it fast."

"Then at least wait until the pirate fleet finishes modern repairs. In the time leading up to that, we will consider whether vessel number two is unable to build an emergency ship. The shipyard is still fully rotating, so I'm busy though. Black Cedar ships are great for leading and hitting, so you can pinch your enemies if you put them in the Pirate Fleet."

"Great, let's do that. If you can't install the exterior of Black Cedar Army vessel number two in time, you can put up Black Cedar only on one side."

Yes, armor is sufficient on only one side.

Because we plan to use T-shaped tactics for this operation.

Hirayaro Higashigo allegedly defeated the Russian fleet in the Sea of Japan naval battle.

...... there are stories that reputation alone did not actually carry it well, but there would be no better hand at this about naval tactics by gunships.

"I see, then you might make it to ship number three. They say the ship's big frame is already ready, and all we have to do is assemble and finish, so I'll let them consider if they can't build it urgently."

"Yeah, there's a cannon here. That's fine if you're floating around during the fleet showdown. Let's knock our enemies out of our ocean."

Perhaps the Invincible Fleet will also come this time with the intention of a showdown.

Whatever the thoughts of the Fleet Commander, it's not surprising that Lebnand, the magician general who brought a reptile (Reptilian) mercenary into the old-fashioned war on the Eura continent, has prepared a hidden ball to overshadow this battlefield.

Straight to the trick.

No longer do we need detailed measures. Beat it with a positive attack method.

The last one to win is the side that has built up the right things to do.

At the end of the operation meeting, I looked around at the pirate fleet docking in the harbor and carrying out renovation work on the modern soldier outfit.

Even when it comes to renovation, we put a cannon seat on the big ship, but we have to prepare it on the deck for smaller galley ships, which make up the majority of less than a hundred ships.

Next to the ship being renovated, there is the sound of a bombing. In order to get used to the sound of the cannon bursting, he is trying and shooting at the sea to show the pirates.

This is also in the exercise, and I can't talk about it unless you get used to the sound first.

There was also a female pirate Mary de with a large tattoo on her face in the exercise area.

To a pirate under his command frightened by the bombing, he said, "Hold on! ♪ And I'm flying the heat ♪ All the first humans to see the cannon lose their hips, but that's just how the head of this female pirate looked bold and kelloggy even before the explosion.

"What do you say, Mary?"

"Oh, I'm not used to cannons. I know it's powerful, but just thinking about rowing a ship with such a heavy chunk of iron on it just makes me sick."

"It must be tight for a small galley ship. Still, I want you to load up at one or two gates and be a floating turret. Of course I won't tell the pirates to use the cannons, the gunmen will arrange them here."

"Then maybe we can work something out."

"I want you to take a good look at the distance you fly if you can, keep that distance as close as possible to your enemies. All you have to do is stick together and float around until you shoot all the bullets out. Hopefully, I'm thinking of deciding before they bring me into the White Soldier War"

"Right. So what we do doesn't change much…"

Hi, Mary. She has a face that won't float.

I guess so, because she's not here because she wants to fight a war.

It would be true if we didn't know, such as a dispute between countries.

There's no such thing as a superior policy for them pirates that the state is not bound to freedom like Wake the Bandit King.

They were the ones who were driven from every country and dropped themselves undeniably into outlaws.

"Hey, Mary. If you win the war, you can all join my navy. Then you wouldn't live in such a dangerous, poor land."

"Humph, your soul and guts are clear. If you refuse that invitation, you will be crusaded as a pirate against the kingdom of Silesier."

I shrug my shoulders at you.

What Mary's saying is certainly true. If I win the war, I will now be in a position to protect the security of the North Sea and the Seyrain Sea.

If they intend to keep piracy intact, they will still have to crusade anyway.

That's why I want you to stay on my side. I want to avoid futile strife, and so do I.

"You don't have to be so mean. If you're thinking about not starving women and children, it's much better that way."

"Shut up. What do you know!

Roughing up his voice, Barking Mary looked remorseful.

"... you who have always been on the right side of the strong side have survived being chased from your country of birth and down the road, what do we know about pirates?"

Mary's bright eyes are moist.

I lost a few words on that sword screen.

"... sorry, Silesier brave. I know what you're saying is more right. But we hagglers can't be trusted if they say so. I don't know what they're gonna say about what you promised me."

I also know exactly what Maryd says.

Silesier humans have no problem because they barely go out to sea, but there were many people in the Principality of Transhvania who were anxious that the Marys pirates were just coming into port.

Even if a rough Britannian accepts plans to tailor a rogue pirate to the Navy, many voices are surprised from the dear Transvanian.

Even if you joined the Silesier Navy, your previous history of being a pirate goes around. I can only be anxious that people might not accept it.

"Hey, Mary."

"What the fuck?"

I pointed out of the harbor.

Mary turns to you unexpectedly. There's nothing there, just sunset on the horizon.

"It's the ocean, Mary. This sea is going on everywhere."

"Ha... what are you taking for granted"

"I am, Mary. If you win the Invincible Fleet and you get the hegemony of the Seylan Sea, I'm going to go all the way over there."

"All the time, how far?"

"All the time. I wonder if we'll also go to the African continent and see the island of Lango where the dragon maiden lives. That way, more on the other side. We're going to cross the African continent and then we're going to see the other side, the end of the Seyrain Sea."

"... ha"

Would you have understood what I was trying to say? Or did you just think the madman wanted something?

Mary looked frightened and sighed as I suddenly said something uninterrupted. It's just better than an earlier hostile face.

"I guess I have a prediction. Across that ocean, there is a new continent. There's a new breed of crop that grows on skinny land that we haven't got yet."

"How do you know that, a lot of sailors are scared that if you go all the way across the ocean, you'll fall downstairs?"

Contemporary knowledge, Amasu. Whatever you say, it won't work, and it's about cruel fantasy (real fantasy), so there's certainly no such thing as a new continent, and it could have fallen straight down.

Still, I take one spice out of my nose that I hold dear.

"Here it is, for example, chili. This, to tell the dragon maiden arr, seems to be a breed from the island of Lango, but its original origin is more on the other side. Even the other spices do. You know, the property's been flowing from the other side. There are more definite islands and continents on the other side than on the African continent, and there are rare ones that are not on the Eurasian continent."

"Well, maybe that makes sense..."

"Think about it and see, if you can find new food that grows in these wastelands, you won't have to starve in the poor lands. We'll make sure misery is reduced."

"Well, that might be true."

"I'm not talking about waging a war for my country, I'm telling Mary and the others to help me do it."

"Ah-ha, is that what you're telling me to do now?"

Much to the point, Mary laughed.

Well, that's a ridiculous story about grabbing a cloud. Even I wouldn't have talked about that if it hadn't happened.

I just don't want to force the Marys to follow the war here and crush them all when it's over.

Pirates in the North Sea are outlaws. Even the sailors resent me because I have broken, taken and killed the laws of the country.

It's just that there's no such thing as a born bad guy.

In the end, that's what we all had to do because we were poor. Because if I hadn't taken it away, I wouldn't have lived.

Speaking of evil, how about imposing heavy taxes, even if they are legal, what about slavery?

Aren't exchangers like me, who allow people to be deprived of their freedom with gold, evil after all?

What's different from the Marys who worked pirates to eat women and children?

It is governed by national law or not. The strong side, the weak side, that's all. I think that's what Mary was angry about, which means.

"Well, I won't be forced to invite you. Even on a Galeon ship, sailing across the ocean carries great dangers. That could be too late to die. I just wanted to say that if we're going to risk going to the ocean anyway, we'd rather take advantage of people than kill each other."

"... Silesier brave. I see what you're trying to say. Let me think for a second."

Think as much as you want. We still have plenty of time.

When it comes to the showdown, we're getting close, but the first thing we need to do is beat the Kingdom of Castilia. Then it's a long way off.

If we put together domestic and international unrest, it would be a good idea to travel to a new hopeful New Heaven and Earth.

If you want to do it, you can do anything from now on.

Mary de, who is silently watching the repair and conveyance work of the pirates' ships, and the calm horizon where the sunsets on the other side of it.

I prayed quietly that the endless end of this sea would be calm and full of possibilities.
