Chapter 173

On the merchant ship!

The pirates on the remaining four pirate ships were now in a dilemma.

Running wasn't an option, and not running wasn't an option.

One of them gritted his teeth and decided to use the public on the merchant ship as hostages to see if they could luckily escape with their lives.

"We can't escape anymore; The Crux fleet has blocked all retreats, we can only use hostages as threats."

His proposal was echoed by a group of pirates who didn't know what to do.

"Instead of fighting them to the death, we might as well do this."

Witnessing their companions on the few ships behind being covered by firepower and dying on the spot, they were panicked but also glad for their choice to land.

Sure enough, danger is relative; close-quarters combat is easy to get injured or die, but there's no need to worry about the people of The Crux being crazy enough to bomb.

After all, the merchant ship is right here; if they accidentally bombed it, the casualties would be unimaginable.

So, breaking the jar and falling, they simply accelerated to the merchant ship, carrying scimitars and various weapons to drive many ordinary people to the deck.

According to their plan, based on the hijacked merchant ship, they would release some people every other island to disperse the personnel of The Crux fleet, and finally completely shake off the pursuit.

During this period, they could also choose to change clothes and mix into the ordinary people to go to the island, muddying the waters and disrupting their identities.

It had to be said that their ideas were quite good; maybe they could really escape a few in the end.

But when the plan was about to be implemented, a situation beyond their expectations occurred.

Most of the pirates, because their future was uncertain and their mood was extremely bad, drove the ordinary people in the passenger cabins to the deck like driving a flock of sheep.

Afterward, more than a dozen people came to the independent private room in the depths, knocking on the doors one by one.

In the passenger ship private room in the depths.

Seeing the whole story clearly through the window, Eula breathed a sigh of relief; this way, even if they acted, it wouldn't cause any accidents.

Clenching her fists, she picked up her greatsword, cold light flashing in her eyes.

When on missions, she often encountered these scumbags who robbed people, and sometimes she would solve them along the way.

Now it was even better; they had actually bumped into her door automatically.

The Spindrift Knight couldn't wait to have a big fight; coincidentally, she could also experiment with the new power she had obtained the day before.

But a few minutes later.

It was finally their turn for the door.

The door was kicked open violently, and four or five pirates stood in front of the door.

"People inside, get out quickly, don't make me say it a second time!"

As soon as the words fell, after seeing the scene inside, several people widened their eyes in unison.

Hiss! Where did these beauties come from?!

They were stunned; the cold beauty with short ice-blue hair, the cute maid with short silver-white hair.

And finally, the heavy-weight mature wife with purple braided pigtails.

Which guy on earth could have so many high-quality girls accompanying him?!

They looked at the middle with jealousy, until they cast their gaze toward the young man in the middle who possessed a demonic appearance.

Several people were stunned for a moment; it seemed... they were indeed a perfect match.

However, before they could express their sentiments and reveal lewd light, Eula, who was disgusted by pirates, swung her sword at them immediately.

Like dancing, the elegant young girl didn't show any mercy; as the greatsword swung, several people were directly beheaded.

The spurting blood didn't fly or spray, and the bodies of several people were frozen.

With a light hum, Eula, avoiding the room getting dirty, stepped lightly with her high heels.

In an instant, the frozen bodies shattered into pieces, spilling ice dregs all over the floor.

During this period, the pirates didn't even have a chance to resist.

"Mr. Hearing Luo Li, I'll go out to help first."

Defeating the enemy with one move, Eula didn't stay, but instead intended to head to the deck to confront the pirates and protect those defenseless ordinary people.

Hearing Luo Li naturally wouldn't stop her, and while nodding, he instructed the battle maid beside him.

"Noelle, you go too, and incidentally verify the training results from this period."

Sparring is always in a relaxed state; it doesn't make people grow as quickly as real combat.

Briefly shocked by Eula's decisive killing, Noelle quickly took a deep breath to suppress the fluctuations in her heart and nodded heavily in agreement.

She was going to protect the ordinary public, and even if she killed people because of this, it was normal.

"Don't be afraid, just follow behind me later."

She had heard of this maid who was never allowed to officially join the Knights, and after getting along with her personally, Eula liked Noelle even more.

At this critical juncture, she used her own method to comfort her.

"Mm, I understand, Sister Eula."

Carrying the Silver-Star greatsword, confirming that the Amenoma Kageuchi at her leg wasn't loose, Noelle indicated she was ready.

The two girls looked at each other and rushed out of the broken door together.

Hearing Luo Li and Raiden Makoto didn't even have the interest to go out and watch; a group of chickens and dogs wasn't worth wasting even half a second on.

Long before the pirates attacked, Hearing Luo Li had observed everything in advance.

A pirate group that didn't even possess a single Vision could be handled by Eula alone.

Moreover...

Watching the Alcor traversing the sea surface at high speed in the distance, Hearing Luo Li felt it was a bit interesting.

Before even stepping into Liyue, they had actually encountered the famous Captain Beidou.

This person's deeds were widely circulated; before obtaining a Vision, she relied on her mortal body to slay giant beasts in the sea.

She was almost equivalent to the ceiling among ordinary people.

Not to mention that after that battle, a Vision descended from the sky; she could almost be considered a god of war among the seven nations.
