Chapter 99

On the merchant ship!

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

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

One of them gritted his teeth and decided to use the civilians 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 retreat routes, and we can only threaten them with hostages."

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 board.

Sure enough, danger is relative; close-quarters combat is prone to injury and death, but there's no need to worry about the people of The Crux being crazy enough to bomb them.

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

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

According to their plan, using the hijacked merchant ship as a base, they would release some people every other island to disperse the personnel of The Crux fleet, and finally completely get rid of the pursuit.

During this period, they could also choose to change clothes and mix in with the ordinary people to get on the island, muddying the waters and disrupting their identities.

It had to be said that their ideas were quite good, and maybe a few could really escape 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 cabins to the deck like 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.

Inside 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 trigger any accidents.

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

When on missions, she often encountered these robbing scum, 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, and coincidentally, she could test 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, come 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—a cold beauty with short ice-blue hair, a cute maid with short silver hair.

And finally, the heavyweight mature wife with purple braids.

Which guy was it that could have so many high-quality girls accompanying him?!

They looked jealously toward the middle, until they cast their gaze on the young man in the middle with a demonic appearance.

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

However, before they could express their feelings and reveal lewd light, Eula, who was disgusted by pirates, slashed at them first.

Like dancing, the elegant young girl didn't hold back at all; 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 being dirtied, 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. Luo Li, I'll go out and help first."

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

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

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

Sparring is always in a relaxed state; it doesn't make people grow as fast as actual 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 public, and it was normal to kill people for that.

"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 until she spent time with her personally, Eula liked Noelle even more.

At this juncture, she used her own method to soothe her.

"Hmm, I understand, Sister Eula."

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

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

Luo Li and Raiden Makoto didn't even have the interest to go out and watch; a group of rabble wasn't worth wasting even a second of time.

Long before the pirates attacked, 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 rapidly traversing the sea surface in the distance, Luo Li felt it was quite interesting.

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

Her deeds were widely spread; before she even obtained a Vision, she had relied on her mortal body to slay a giant beast in the sea.

She was roughly 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.
