How To Survive as a 10000 Hour Freebie Pirate

Chapter 22

Episode 22

##022

With the advent of pirates, the warships were literally in a frenzy.

The captain, who was in charge of the squadron leader, was troubled.

“Captain!! How do I do this? If we fight like this now, the damage will be great. Please retreat… … .”

The adjutant gave advice.

The navy has drawn a wide circle to encircle a single ship.

On the other hand, pirates have a long line (snake-shaped straight line). It was rapidly approaching vertically in the shape of a ‘ㅣ’.

As soon as you approach them, they will turn sideways and line up in a long line.

“Deter it.”

“Captain!!”

Originally, a long line is not a very good type of gin.

When the attacking side approaches in a ‘ㅣ’ shape.

The defending side defends with a ‘ㅡ’ shape.

Together, they look like ‘ㅗ’.

The attacking side was under concentrated fire from the front, and there was a risk of individual defeat.

but.

“You are fighting. There is no time to form a defensive formation. Three at best! It will be unstable.”

If nearby boats unite, it will be like that.

It just needs to speed up to cluster and will crash before slowing down again to form a line.

In the end, there is a high probability that the battle will start with the angle bent in the shape of ‘So’ rather than ‘ㅗ’.

Individual breaking becomes impossible.

If this is the case, three ships will never be able to stop it.

The moment you allow access, the enemy will turn to the side and become an ‘=’ shape, and the line battle will begin.

Then, of course, the side with the most hemp, that is, the side with the most pages wins.

By the time other allies hurriedly join in… … .

“If we withdraw here, the communication lines are in danger. We need to give the communication lines time to retreat.”

“The enemy does not know where our lines of communication are.”

“that’s right. Still, there is a roughly 30% chance of being discovered.”

The communication line is slow because it is covered with various magic devices. no it’s damn slow

If the scout ships retreat to regroup, the communication line is left alone.

“If we get together and run away… … .”

“I will follow you until the end. They have already made a long line.”

Floatation releases suspended matter into the surroundings.

When it is a single ship, it does not have much effect on the surrounding environment, but as the number of ships increases, they affect each other.

at last.

“I will catch up. Even the wind and tide are on their side.”

For them, it’s a fair wind.

Floating matter will concentrate on the lead ship.

“If we disperse and retreat… … .”

“It will take a long time to gather the battle lines. In the meantime, our inboxes will be found at almost 100%, not 30%.”

You will be hive or captured by your enemies before intervening again.

“no way. Did you aim for this?”

Then he shook his head. impossible.

“You’re a lucky guy.”

* * *

Ryan’s thoughts were the opposite.

“No luck.”

Only two galva guns hit the ironclad, but unluckily one shot hit one of the Marines’ waiting rooms and became a significant hit.

Of course, if it hadn’t been more fortunate, several people would have died, not two seriously injured.

[What the hell are you guys doing?!]

From nob le mt l. com

Just then, a message came in from the pirate ship.

It must be the pirate with the most time among those approaching ships.

Unless it is a communication line, 1:1 and even short-distance communication is possible, so someone has communicated as a representative.

“Debshaw found the queen bee.”

[I heard that the captain of the Ormond Pirates has changed, so he’s really young. so. Where is the naval communication line?!]

“I missed it because I was being chased. I just know where it is.”

[Tsk. Guide me.]

“First of all, what should we do with those guys? lol.”

Lian communicated with the pirate ship that was running.

From the first meeting, it felt bad to spit out sloppy words without any hesitation, but thinking about letting them deal with it in time made me feel better again.

[Tsk. I hadn’t even thought of a situation like this. First, organize them and talk. If you can’t find a communication line, you’d better be prepared.]

The pirate squadron leader threatened Lian.

Either that or not, Lian cleared his ears.

“Then please. brothers.”

[Who are you looking for? … .]

Beep.

Communication was lost. no i hung up

Shaaa~

The pirate ships passed the Going Misha without slowing down.

you know that too

The current formation is extremely advantageous to them.

Beep! pop! pop!!

They immediately went into battle.

“now. We’re leaving.”

“Without joining?”

“If you have to hang out with people like that, you’re only a low-class minnow that lives in the river. How to play in the big water with Jagoro! Let’s go~”

Lian left the fight behind and headed to where the enemy’s communication line was expected to be.

It won’t be far away anyway.

You must have seen and received the battle. If so, you’ll be at a distance where short-range communication is possible.

I will report the details of the battle to the main unit in real time.

“west… Uncle! I found it.”

Furthermore, isn’t there a cutting-edge item called radar on the Going Missha?

“good!”

Lian immediately made an announcement on board.

“Report by each Marine waiting room.”

[No more than Room 1.]

[No more than Room 2.]

[2 vacancies in Room 3. The rest is nothing.]

The Marine waiting room is just below deck.

You can’t wait on the deck for a hand-to-hand combat.

In particular, unlike the sailing ship era, the deck of a floating ship with severe shaking is very dangerous.

Especially when Lian Mo is wealthy.

“Hampo room. Fire a threatening shot.”

As soon as we found the enemy communication ship, we opened fire.

Beep!

Of course it didn’t fit.

It’s just a show of force.

Because there was no spare space on the communication line to install a cannon.

Kirik. Kirik.

A white flag was raised from the navy’s communication lines.

They know that fighting is pointless.

cooong!

However, Lian didn’t wait for the flags to go up and made a rough tangent.

Whirik Whirik ~ The rope was caught and firmly fixed, and the pirates quickly crossed over to the communication line.

“I am the captain of this ship… … .”

The captain of the communication ship came out to the deck and tried to perform the surrender ceremony.

puck!!!

The vice-captain slapped him in the face.

“Move away! Get out of the way! If you resist, everything will be destroyed!!!”

Accompanied by the Marine Corps, they searched all over the communication box.

No matter how rough and ignorant the vice-captain was, he did not do this recklessly.

Lian caught him trying to go on a mission to command the Marine Corps.

– Mr. Vice Captain. can’t give it time Get one more before burning important documents. Be strong no matter how your opponent turns out!

Even receiving such an order, the impatient vice-captain’s eyes turned completely upside down.

The time has finally come to use your powers.

Isn’t looting a specialty?

“Stop it now! Before your wrists fly off.”

While the captain went to the deck to surrender, the sailors were destroying papers all over the ship.

tearing up burn it It wasn’t even a fuss thrown into the water.

I restrained them one by one and took the documents.

Meanwhile. Lian slowly headed towards the enemy ship.

“Turn it off!”

The captain of the communication ship sat stunned.

Even though his honor was trampled upon by the pirates, he did not have a good resistance due to his lack of combat skills.

“hello. My name is Lian, the captain of the Going Missha.”

Rian, who found him, greeted him warmly.

“Kids?!”

I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I was seeing something in vain.

no. They were obviously kids. That’s three people.

“Isn’t the captain always sitting comfortably like that to greet the opponent? Proceed with the surrender process quickly.”

“her… … .”

The communication ship captain, who was so absurd, stood up awkwardly from his seat.

“You have no manners. Even if we are pirates.”

“no. The reason they didn’t accept the surrender process was that… side… … .”

“It’s because we don’t play fair.”

Ryan shook his head.

see even now

Marines were coming up to the deck with every piece of paper they could see.

“no. The original communication line is like this!! It is customary to turn a blind eye to each other… … .”

“I’m young, so I don’t know. I know at least that there is no need to treat them as prisoners of war if they do not go through the surrender process.”

Lian smiled as he fidgeted with his magic pistol.

Looking at the bundle of papers, I felt better.

After all, they are pirates, so taking care of things is first-class.

“eww… Lieutenant Colonel Legores, commander of the Daesrang Imperial communication ship, surrenders to the Kingdom of Ingleson. Please be generous.”

He handed over the flag with his ceremonial sword.

The sword for decoration was more of an ornament with little practicality.

It is produced as a set together when the ship is built, and is usually hung as an ornament in the captain’s room.

It doesn’t affect the stomach at all. When the owner of the ship changed, it was handed over as a showpiece.

“If you don’t install it, you will be treated as a prisoner of law. The flag will be given to you when you are released.”

Pirates originally had no prisoners. There are only products that will be sold as slaves.

However, since he participated as an ally of the Ingleson Kingdom, he needed to obey the law in moderation.

You may get a ransom later.

“however… Are you really the captain?”

“what. how come It happened. cell. Are you okay? Uncle Lieutenant Colonel.”

With the ship taken away, he is no longer the captain.

Lian ordered him to be imprisoned on the Going Missha.

The rest were herded into a few large cabins on the communication lines and directed to the Marines to keep watch.

“Oh oh. It looks like this.”

Ryan went straight to the mission.

Certainly, unlike normal ships, the bridge was quite wide.

It was a two-story structure, with the upper level at ground level for the helmsman and the lower level below the deck.

This appearance was due to communications equipment.

Whether it’s one-to-many communication or long-distance communication. Communication itself is a much trickier magic than you might think.

For this, complex and sophisticated magic tools were required.

Especially in order to lighten the magical burden on other ships.

Thanks to this, the ships connected to the communication box were able to communicate with a simple magic tool.

Maybe that’s why there are only five wizards specializing in communication in the communication box.

“The ransom will be hefty. hehehe.”

Moreover, the communication ship is a precious body that even the empire only operates two ships.

They don’t even sail unless it’s a big war.

“kid. What will these guys do?”

The five wizards, intelligence officers, were gathered to one side wearing mana restraints.

They do not appear to be particularly willing to resist.

Because the ransom of wizards was high, they thought that even pirates would not harm them.

but. A pirate is a pirate, so he seems a bit scared.

“Let’s see who is the best. hmm… Release that man and lock up the rest.”

Because wizards are a dangerous race, they needed special care.

“I’ll leave a few Marines behind to keep them from wandering.”

“yes. Please do so.”

Except for one, the rest of the wizards were dragged away.

The remaining wizards watched carefully.

It was definitely a weak-looking face.

“What are you so afraid of? Das and an Imperial officer.”

“me… I am not a combat type.”

Since he was a prisoner of war, he did not ignore or ignore Lian as a child.

“You get basic training. ah. Isn’t that what it is?”

It’s just a catering act.

Still, wizards are dangerous.

Port, the communication wizard of the pirate ship, has saved Lian from being threatened by the countess with flame magic despite having a weak personality in only 2 circles.

“west… Captain!”

At that time, Port came with a bundle of papers.

I had been saved by him, so when I was in a good mood, I used the nickname Uncle.

“Uncle Wizard. how is it. Did you get anything?”

“It’s Nodaji. this.”

Port unwrapped the papers and spread them out on the floor. And show some documents.

“I can’t see it. Can you read passwords?”

“There is no need to decipher something scribbled like this child’s graffiti. It’s too crude to be called an imperial cipher.”

This is because the concept of information warfare is still lacking because it is in the early stages of the game where total wars between countries do not occur often.

Practitioners don’t like complex cryptograms.

The level that even the bar couldn’t notice was just right.

However, it seems that the level that was just right for someone was below the level.

“Oh~!! Uncle Port! I saw you again.”

“that… okay. go… thank you… Captain.”

Port’s ears turned red with praise.

A very happy look.

“so. Did you find out?”

“I have located the enemy flagship. And I also found one. The size of the enemy and the composition of the troops were recorded.”

“yes?!”

Fools.

It may be because the location has to follow the coordinates even roughly for communication.
