Chapter 405: Chapter 249: Robbing the Pirate Ship! Naval Battle!!!!_1

When Ivita saw the enemy pirate ship quickly approaching them in a zigzag course, she knew they would soon be within reach.

Upon seeing this, Captain Sam looked taken aback. "We’re upstream of the wind, while they’re downstream from us, so they’re sailing against the wind. Their helmsman must be an expert at steering if he can accurately control their direction," he concluded.

"When a sailing ship is against the wind, it cannot proceed in a straight line and has to move in a zigzag pattern," he added.

Ivita nodded, then turned to Wilson, who was eight meters away and fighting against a resentful spirit. "When their pirate ship gets close, grab their helmsman for us. Use mental coercion to make him work for us," she instructed.

"Captain Sam, you should retreat as you’re not a combatant. I’ll handle the fight here," she added.

After stealing a glance at Ivita, Captain Sam turned back. To him, it was incredulous that his boss was planning to recruit from the dreaded pirates, whom most people would avoid at all costs.

Quietly mumbling to himself, Captain Sam returned to his quarters. "Spring of Youth... so many have died at sea, their bodies feeding the sharks, all in pursuit of you... "

Ivita and Wilson, overhearing his ramblings, shared a bewildered glance.

Truthfully, Captain Sam’s mental state had some flaws. Had he been on Earth, he would likely have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

Theway he created an imaginary object to bear the weight of his memories was unsettling, to say the least, for Ivita and Wilson.

Ivita then shouted at her combatants on the deck, "The pirate group is getting closer. Stay alert!"

...

On the Duck Feather pirate ship, the Duck Feather Captain, brandishing a cutlass, addressed the dozen pirates onboard. "We’ve been gnawing on tough bones these past few days."

"Damn it."

"Our boat swain broke his leg, the first mate was struck by a cannon. The majority of the loot we recently grabbed had to be used for their medical expenses."

"But that ship there, it’s a piece of meat with barely any bone in it."

"Their ship is light, with not much cargo, so they definitely won’t have many professionals, cannons, or soldiers on board."

"Plus, it seems there’s a problem with their ship."

"Lads, prepare for combat. Just need to get our ship near theirs, then we’ll rush their deck. Kill ’em all and grab everything!"

The desolate pirates, hearing their captain’s words, instantly rejuvenated.

They were the low-class pirates of Cross Island, always shunned and bullied.

They risked death and injury for bigger prey, with each raid barely covering the costs.

But today, they weren’t opposed to eating a small fish.

Soon, both the ships on the sea were parallel. The pirate ship then fired at the two masts of Ivita’s ship, intending to blast them and create a bridge between their ships.

This typical pirate method of causing harm to others for their own gain...

But as soon as the two iron cannonballs hovered over Ivita’s ship, the Persopolis Knight sliced one in half with Tormund’s Holy Sword. The other one was kicked away by Vampire Wilson who leaped into the air, and it dropped into the sea.

The next moment, standing on the crow’s nest eighteen meters high, she shot four arrows at the two gunners on the Duck Feather Pirate Team’s deck. The elven bloodline allowed the ranger’s arrows to hit its mark every time, and this were heavyweight arrows launched from nearly two hundred pounds of bow.

In an instant, the eyes of the two gunners who fired the cannons were pierced by the arrows, penetrating their skulls and instantly killing the two pirates.

In Ivita’s view, the arrows from Cecilia Landwalker were not as powerful as Kristin’s hunting arrows she had just seen, but they were much more flexible, often hitting the target’s vulnerable eyes.

The other side’s rookie ranger barely managed a counterattack with his arrows. Under the relentless hail of arrows from the female ranger, he could only dodge with the help of his ’Evasion’ core skill.

But the female ranger had already used [Energy Absorption] on him, a white line formed by spiritual energy, piercing through the two pirate ships.

The novice ranger pirate’s face turned pale. "A formal ranger?!"

Meanwhile, the fourth-generation vampire leapt up to the ship’s edge and jumped tens of meters far, landing on the pirate’s ship, and quickly rushed towards the cockpit on the ship.

Ivita snapped his fingers, and a bolt of dry thunder echoed under the clear sky. A thunder snake vaguely appeared within the thunderstorm above, and the thunder struck the opposing pirate ship, breaking their single mast sail.

As the mast fell, Ivita caught it with his Hand of Mana as it was about to hit their ship deck.

Then, the two knights and hunters on their side rushed toward the opponents across the mast, leaving only five warriors and Davina on deck to deal with the Resentful Spirit Ravens.

The pirates on the Duck Feather pirate ship were dumbfounded.

The pirates were prepared to rush over, but who knew, in just a few minutes, their mast wasn’t broken by the cannon fire, instead, their mast was broken.

If the mast was broken, the sailboat in essence, would be unable to sail.

Now their only way out was to seize the opponent’s ship.

But the pirates and First Mate looked perplexedly at the captain.

Where are the promised unprofessional opponents?

Where are the promised lack of soldiers?

The First Mate and pirates were thrown into disarray.

"Powerful wizards, powerful vampires, additionally two knights, numerous warriors, hunters, and rangers - how could this lineup be protecting a merchant ship with scarce cargo, this lineup could guard ships loaded with thousands of pounds of cargo."

"God, we actually attacked this type of ship."

"Do we still continue with close combat, continue rushing over on the mast? Although it’s our mast that’s broken, but we can still were on it..."

The female ranger finally shot the elusive pirate ranger who kept escaping disaster with his Dexterity Talent, the blood-curdling scream before the ranger’s death accompanies the Persopolis Knights charging into the pirates.

Duck Feather Pirate Captain hastily said: "Forget about close combat, now they’re attacking us. Counterattack, quickly..."

He saw two formal knights in their chilling full-body armor, their muscles enlarged, bodies wrapped in red bloody aura, then they dove into the crowd of pirates, like wolves into a flock of sheep, punching a pirate with each blow.

While then, Wilson used Mental Coercion to control the helmsman among the pirates and walked onto the deck of the pirate ship, watching the Duck Feather Pirates with cold eyes.

The Duck Feather captain was sweating bullets, he said to Wilson: "Seems like I’ve run out of luck today. We surrender, stop attacking. You can kill us, banish us, or hand us over to the Republic for bounty, anything works."

"Anyway, it won’t be our first time breaking out of prison."

"Damn, with so many of you on an empty ship, don’t tell me you were fishing for me!? I surrender!!"

Ivita had already walked onto the deck of the pirate ship. He pointed at the Duck Feather captain and said, "No rush."

"Get your men to help us deal with those ravens. Now, immediately."

"Huh?" The Duck Feather captain suddenly felt like he’d become a slave.

Yes, such an empty ship, yet packing so much defensive power. Could they be slave traders?

He wasn’t becoming a slave, was he?!!

This...
