Outside the cabin, the ship was in a hurry.

The sailors are running around on the deck and rushing to start preparing for the battle.

I wanted to give instructions, but I wouldn't dare.

Because the battle at sea was ignorant.

We should have left this place to the captain, who is a specialty.

Ask Hans instead because it is bad to ask a captain who is busy with battle support.

"How does a naval battle take place?

I guess the tension of the war blew up seasickness and all that.

Hans was regaining his usual sober tone.

"Usually, warfare between fleets is relied upon by magicians."

"I see."

Then maybe we can work together.

Hans points to a block of stone placed on the edge of the deck.

"It's a basic tactic to magically fly a chunk of that stone and drill a hole in the enemy's ship."

I see, and I first realized what a pile of stones meant when it was piled up.

This world is a world of swords and magic.

Therefore, no gunpowder or other was born, and I guess I relied on magic.

When it comes to naval warfare in the world of previous life, artillery is the star.

Shoot all the artillery installed on the side of the ship and sink the enemy ship, that was the basic tactic of naval warfare.

"- I'm making up for the area with a magician, you mean?"

However, it would cost money to get all the magicians together, and a stone crush shouldn't be enough to lack power.

Maybe as an export to Zenobia, we could build artillery.

I thought so, but more than that, first of all, we should have concentrated on our enemies now.

I've decided to intercept Stone Crush, which the enemy mage has unleashed.

The Wall of Defense, Impact, Fireball, I can intercept with any magic, but I decided to choose the magic of the Wall of Defense to protect this ship for sure.

Instead of defending the entire ship, guard the flying crushes with a pinpoint.

If I were you, I'd leave the defense to the other magicians, and I'd like to join the attack, but Satie's on this ship.

In case, I wanted to avoid that.

Enemy stones crushed one after another in the air, while stones crushed on this side were similarly crushed. I was lucky with a few shots and hit the enemy deck, but not enough to sink a ship.

Hans explains.

"Carosa the Red Beard is also a high-ranking magician."

- Is that what you mean?

Reasonably enough, we could have plundered many Zenobian ships.

"I guess that promises to unfold after this."

If this is a sea battle, the tip of the pirate ship should have a punch angle called a ram.

Stick it to the flank of the merchant ship, which is the object, and bring the pirates aboard the merchant ship.

That should be the usual means.

Carosa's ship approached us at a tremendous rate.

Sails on enemy ships are swelling with tremendous momentum if you look at them.

It seems to be pinpointing the magic of Storm to speed up the ship's momentum.

"Not quite."

And I can't help but admire it.

You used the magic of the storm in such a way, I'm impressed by it.

At first I thought he was just a pirate, but Carosa with a red beard seems quite a figure.

Maybe he'll be dealing with the best sorcerer I've ever met.

With that in mind, I prepared for the impact of an enemy ship colliding.

At the same time that the tip of the enemy's ship pierces the Blurry Money Maker, the pirates break in.

Everyone is lightly dressed to grip a spotter or short sword.

"Of course."

It's a battle on the sea, in case you fall into the sea with heavily armed equipment, you have no life.

I guess there's no point in wrapping up armor in a naval battle.

And there's not a single person on a narrow boat who uses spears.

Almost everyone is fighting in a spotter or shortsword.

They're all lightweight, so if they get slaughtered, they'll stay out of combat.

What's more, this place is nowhere on the ocean, escape, etc.

Everyone is fighting desperately.

Maybe this is the big difference between naval and land warfare.

In that case, I searched for the enemy general.

Miscellaneous opponents should leave it to the crew and Hans.

They are the brave men of the sea, the lag cannot be taken.

The problem was Carosa with the red beard.

As far as the magic and skill from earlier, I can guess the source of the strength of the Redbeard Pirates is on him.

Besides, a fight is a better way to defeat your opponent's general.

At the time of Carosa's fall, victory or loss should be decided.

I thought so. I looked around the deck.

I thought it might be hard to find because of the unrest, but it's not.

It was easy to find the captain.

The guy who looks the greatest on the deck of an enemy ship, that was Carosa.

She is dressed beautifully for the time being and looks great in her arms.

"... but well"

That's all I can think of.

I accidentally leak it in my mouth.

"Would there be other brilliant pirates out there?"

Wouldn't even black and white film-era Hollywood movies make for more twists?

Carosa is wearing a red bowl wrapped around a pirate hat marked with a markings and a red vellous jacket over a shirt worn by the nobles.

"... if only one hand were a claw, it would be perfect."

And when I leaked it, it was clear that his left hand was covered in claws.

Furthermore, as promised, the left eye has an eyelid wrapped around it.

I leaked my breath, but I didn't mean to be alarmed.

Carosa the Redbeard looks like a typical pirate, quite capable commander as well.

Instead of going to this deck, which is in a state of turmoil, he calmly gives instructions to his men from his ship.

Sometimes, cast the Grant Magic, cover your allies, turn this sailor on, and unleash the magic of Water Ball.

The figure is the pirate himself, but what he was doing was a brilliant mage and commander.

I have fought many humans so far, but as a mage and commander, I wonder if he is the best man.

"It doesn't have to be funny," I don't say.

The better the enemy is, the more damage this one does.

From what I can see, Deacon Hans was in a fierce fight with one of the pirates.

The other sailors were often mutually, obviously more disadvantaged this way if viewed on the whole front.

"Don't lose like this"

I thought I'd start chanting spells.

Use the magic of Transfer to get directly onto the opponent's deck.

This place is on the ocean, it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow the pirate routine.

That's what I thought. I move in front of Carosa with the magic of metastasis.

The first voice of Carosa, who saw me,

"... ho"

was. The following words were uttered:

"I thought they were rolling out a brilliant" Wall of Defense "earlier, but that's something quite a magician was on board with."

Looks like Carosa identified my strengths in an instant.

That was not the only proof of incompetence.

Without alarm, I will grant magic to the Staff of the Circular Snake.

Unlike its appearance, it was an intelligent and gentlemanly attitude and expression, but this man is a pirate.

It wasn't something I knew what kind of hand I was going to use.

There's no sign of it, there's no front door, it's going to be slashed.

Biting Dog's peculiar "Death Neck!" or "Eat it! I don't even say."

Just shut up and turn my steeple and let go of the sabel.

I take it with the Circle Snake wand, but at the same time I take it, there will be a spark.

Carosa changes her expression for the first time when she sees the sight.

"... well, it's quite a wand, though magic grants it. You're not the only one."

"He's a brigade leader working as a magician in the Demon King's Army."

And I just want to reveal my identity, but I won't need to do that.

I concentrated on fighting men.

Repeated sword strike reward, each time the opponent takes a step back, and I take a step back, too.

Still quite a user.

Though not wrapped around an immortal robe, I never thought I'd struggle this far.

There is a balance between the skill of swordsmanship and magic, in the sense that it leads to Basteo, the leader of the third legion who fought previously.

Thinking about it, humans are still horrible.

Because this is how quite a few talents are buried in the field.

- But...

In other words, I decided to end this fight.

Grant all magic to the wand.

"Almost" everything without thinking about the later.

The wand of a circular snake emits a more pale aura.

I bet everything on that blow.

If this blow doesn't break Carosa's sabel, this duel, it'll be my loss.

That was possible, but that worry didn't seem necessary.

My biggest blow worked beautifully.

Pakin '!

Carosa's sabel breaks with the sound.

Having seen the sight, Carosa raised her voice of surprise, but it was also a moment.

As soon as he regained his sober expression, he pointed his left handed calf nail at this way.

Claw, open, claw prosthesis.

There seemed to be a "Mithril" bullet packed in there.

There is no such thing as a gun in this world, but there are pseudo-guns.

If you put a bullet of true silver into an ejector made of metal called true silver (Mithril) and trigger magic, it will eject at high speed.

It is considered useful for demons, werewolves, vampires, etc. who are supposedly vulnerable to silver, but it is not otherwise ineffective for humans.

Instead, isn't its power very different from that of a fire rope gun?

I mean, if I eat it, I die.

"Well, if you eat, we're talking about"

I predicted it beforehand.

That's why I left my magic behind.

There was no drain on the Wall of Defense spell.

This is how Carosa's last trump card was voided.

I entered his pocket at the same time that Carosa's expression was stained with despair, letting his left magical right fist permeate his belly.

"Ohhh."

scatter a large amount of gastric juice with the voice that

I don't think it will lead to death because there is no blood, but that completely took away Carosa's fighting power and consciousness.

Having seen it, I declared it to the pirates who were fighting on the Boolean.

"I took over your general. No more resistance is meaningless. Drop your weapon and surrender now and I will only guarantee your life!!

Did the word work?

Or did the defeat of the strongest captain bring down morale?

The pirates abandon their weapons one after the other, raising their hands.

At the same time, cheers come from the sailors of the Blurry Profit.

"Yay! We won!

"Now my Zenobia is cheap too!

"We, no, Lord Ike, defeated that mightiest pirate, Carosa!

The sailors admire me as I tie up the pirates.

It was comforting to be admired, but I was only worried about one thing.

Ask Hans, the butler, who comes near you with his breath out.

As has been the case in previous lives, in this world of hands, pirates were 'tied up' and marketed if caught.

I ask about it.

"Even in my Zenobia, pirates are bound."

…………

That's right.

Pirates are villains.

It is the pirates who attack merchant ships, killing all their crew, or throwing their surviving crew into the ocean in their boats.

With mercy here, there will be no indication, and so will the other pirates.

However, it is heartbreaking to say that if you surrender, you will save your life.

This was also the sadness of memory in the previous life.

I suggested, "Can you do something about it?" Hans makes a suggestion.

"Do you know the word amnesty, Lord Ike?

"Of course I know"

Answer.

When a king takes office, or when a prince or princess is born, it is amnesty to lighten the sins of the sinners in particular.

There are countries that have not done so in previous life, and even Japan still has such laws.

Until the Taisho period, it was done, and now the emperor was considered when he took office.

But would it be convenient sooner or later, for a king to reign or for a prince or princess to be born?

Isn't there a king here in an urban state, not a country in the first place?

If you think so, Hans will poke at my void.

"There will be celebrations in my Zenobia soon. If we use that as an excuse, can we avoid the ties between the pirates of the Red Beard Pirates?"

I realized what Hans wanted to say in those words.

When I get back to Zenobia, I'm asking you to announce your engagement to Julia.

When I sighed heavily, I decided to go back to Xenobia anyway.

In the meantime, we should report to Eltoria the exorcism of Carosa the Red Beard.

It must be used as a negotiating material for a deal with the Demon King's Army.

Jesus Christ, I went back to my cabin.

There was Sati there who was still praying.

When I reported to her, "I won," I asked her to make me some tea.

I smelled the smell of a sweaty sailor and a bloody battlefield. Is it because I'm home, I felt like it smelled better than usual even though it was the same tea leaf.
