Unlike the half-hearted Lorne, Letnais could see the difference at a glance.
Leaving the table full of gambling money behind, this guy looked like a gambler who had encountered a police check.
The only difference was probably that he was shouting something different.
"Enemy attack" Letnais' sudden move made the people around him slightly stunned.
The word "enemy attack" was very unfamiliar to the Stuart family members.
Especially when they are on the ocean, the reputation of the Duke of the Sea is enough to subdue any naïveté.
On this clearly opened route, how could they encounter the enemy without giving them a chance to question Letnais?
A piercing horn sounded in everyone's ears.
Lorne, who got on the boat, was no longer a novice who didn't know anything.
Just like Letnais said, they were attacked.
The piercing sound of the horn reminded them that there was an enemy, and Lorne was also aware of the enemy's location.
After all, Baron Fast was the first witness to discover the enemy.
After being reminded by Lightnais and the horn, he didn't know that the black shadow was not a dark cloud in the sky.
But the problem is that people are already close to them, why did the alarm sound only when he saw the enemy?
"Those sailors must be all lazy, and we must punish them severely when they get ashore."
He didn't know who Fang Xiaoxiao was attacking.
The baron's performance was relatively calm, but his words about punishing one of his own in the face of an unknown enemy revealed the dark nature of the beast.
But the laziness of the sailors on the ship is inseparable from the actions of Baron Fast.
What goes up and what goes down works, these nobles are playing big bets, and the sailors who are itching to watch naturally know how to take advantage of them and imitate them.
Anyway, they have been plying the route between Yuanwang City and the Island of Heresy, and there has been no incident for so many years.
Who knows how someone could sneak up on their fleet at night.
"Miss, it's not good, it's pirates.
They are approaching us.
It's too late to escape.
They are about to join the ship."
The people in the cabin were still looking for weapons, and the first mate on the ship brought bad news.
As soon as the word pirate came out, everyone except Lorne looked in disbelief.
If it were the fleet of Heretic Island, it was still possible to attack them.
After all, their fleet is going to the Imperial people in Brilliant City, and the other two wizards who are opposed to communicating with the Empire may come to sabotage it.
Although I haven't heard of any powerful fleets owned by the other two wizards, harassing them is definitely not a problem.
But from the first mate's mouth, the appearance of pirates is very confusing.
Because even if the Heretic Island paid a large sum of money to hire them to intercept at sea, it would be impossible for any pirates to dare to take on such a job.
"Have you seen clearly how many enemies there are?"
Athena took her weapon from the attendant's hand.
As for the armor, wearing that thing in a sea battle was completely suicidal.
The girl in a tight-fitting combat uniform was dressed very casually, but clothes that facilitated movement could indeed allow Athena to take advantage of her agility.
Of course, the premise is that you won't be hit by the catapult ammunition unluckily.
But as the first mate said just now, the pirates clearly wanted to attack them head-on, with real swords and guns.
Lorne didn't think his side would lose to a group of pirates in a hand-to-hand battle.
Even though he thought that the pirate who came was probably Castoff, who claimed to be the king, Baron Fast still firmly stood on Athena's side.
"Regardless of whether he is a pirate or not, if he dares to bring them to the door to seek death, I will cut them all into two pieces with the door panel and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
It was known to many people that Lorne had drank with Castev.
In order to prove that he had nothing to do with Castev, this guy rushed to answer Athena.
It's a pity that the girl didn't accept his favor at all, and the first mate on the ship also understood who his real master was.
"We have illuminated it with a bright crystal lamp, and the ones approaching us are indeed wasteland pirates.

And there are them on both sides, and we are already sandwiched in the middle."
Once a normal naval battle is caught in the middle and enemy ships on both sides launch attacks at the same time, it will be difficult for the attacked ship to survive even if its defense is amazing.
So the first mate was inevitably a little panicked, but the good news was that the pirates obviously didn't intend to sink them directly.
Being able to catch up with them in the dark also proves that the opponent's ship does not have many heavy weapons.
"Send a signal to other ships and ask the frigates to observe the surroundings and attack immediately if they encounter unidentified ships.
The transport ship should try not to come into contact with the pirates and wait for us to deal with the enemy before starting to fight back."
The fleet was not sent for reinforcements, and Athena, like Lorne, did not take the pirates seriously either.
But how did she know that this group of pirates were not just little pirates who came to take advantage?
Since Castev dared to come and play hand-to-hand combat with Athena, the Pirate King naturally had his own confidence.
In terms of numbers, their two ships must have had a huge advantage.
As for combat effectiveness, as long as they don't use catapults to blast them, the wasteland pirates have never been afraid of the Imperials.
With his most elite men, the Pirate King was originally worried that he would be discovered and was even mentally prepared for heavy losses.
But they didn't expect that God seemed to be helping them.
Not only did the night give them excellent cover.
Even the other side's fleet seemed to deliberately not see them.
If the pirates hadn't made a little noise when preparing the hook lock, it is estimated that this night attack would have succeeded in making him feel that Athena couldn't wait to marry him. .
But it is a pity that Miss Stuart could not give in easily.
The sound of the horn represents the inevitability of a brutal fight.
Fortunately, the hook lock on his boat had already caught the edge of the opponent's boat.
As long as he rushed forward and controlled the eldest daughter of the Stuart family, this battle would be a victory for him, King Castoff.
"Come up to me.
Except for the nobles, no sailors on the ship will be left behind."
The difference between sailors and nobles can be distinguished by looking at their clothes.
Pirates who often rob naturally understand the value of nobles, and what they like most is the ransom system of the empire.
Shouting and grabbing ships is a pirate's specialty.
A cable, or directly hung on the hook and lock rope, each of the bare-chested pirates obeyed Castev's instructions, but the faster they rushed, the harder they were.
Although the number of people on Athena's ship is not the largest, they are definitely the strongest on average.
The girl's own attendants were all knights, and with the addition of Arnold and the guards he brought, the pirates who came over would not be able to gain a foothold at all.
However, these pirates in the wilderness are indeed fierce.
They are not afraid of the death of their companions, and they still keep trying to jump up
