Chapter 39 A Naval Battle That Should Never Have Happened
"If our Bloodtooth Shark has ever been disrespectful to the two wizards, we are willing to make amends."
"But now, we hope that the two esteemed wizards will not disturb the sharks' hunt, nor will they interrupt the gift we are offering to that sir."
The pirate captain, named Renwell, shouted, his tone both humble and forceful.
Loen's gaze fell on the 'naval battle' that was gradually coming to a halt.
The scale of this naval battle was enormous.
—On the battlefield, there were more than 150 pirate ships and merchant ships combined!
If you include those that have already sunk, there will be even more.
Of these 150-plus ships, more than 40 belonged to the Bloodtooth Shark pirates, and women and children could even be seen on those ships.
Clearly, the Bloodtooth Sharks have mobilized their entire force for this raid.
The other caravan, though lacking the support of a wizard, was no less powerful.
The fleet consisted of a massive caravan of over a hundred merchant ships, including warships that provided escort. There were also more than thirty knights in the caravan.
It seems that, apart from lacking the support of a certain wizard, the caravan has made all the necessary preparations.
Even without the intervention of Lo Ang and his group, it would have been difficult for the Bloodtooth Shark pirate crew to completely devour this massive fleet.
More likely, both sides will suffer heavy losses.
For normal pirates, this was a very worthwhile raid—given the fleet's display of bravery in preferring to sink rather than be plundered by pirates, even if they swallowed the fleet, Bloodtooth Shark would have suffered a net loss.
Similarly, for these merchant ships, fighting to the death with pirates here was also a very unprofitable business, destined to result in losses.
In short, in Loen's view, this was a naval battle that should not have happened and was extremely unreasonable.
Pirates shouldn't be so fixated on such targets.
There's no reason for the caravan to fight to the death here, risking mutual destruction.
That doesn't make sense!
This is completely illogical!
From any perspective, the logic of this naval battle is incomprehensible.
unless……
There is something in this fleet that the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates absolutely cannot obtain.
At the same time, this is something the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates absolutely must obtain.
This naval battle began from this point.
So, what exactly was in that fleet?
Loon was filled with curiosity, and then shared his curiosity with the Crimson Wizard.
Compared to Loen's curiosity, the Crimson Wizard was much more decisive, straightforward, and domineering.
The scattered sharks regrouped under her command—and even more gathered than before.
Countless sharks swam across the battlefield of this naval battle, tearing the ships apart one by one.
As some tried to break through the sharks' encirclement and get closer, Andy immediately surfaced from the sea, flicking his tail and sending a spray of water flying as he passed the ship.
Thus, after two separate incidents, the separated ships, whether pirate ships or merchant ships, finally realized the current situation and completely quieted down.
"Who is in charge of the caravan?" The Crimson Wizard stood on the sea, looking up at the ships with a commanding gaze.
In a short while, one of the remaining hundred or so merchant ships signaled with flags and, escorted by a group of sharks, slowly sailed toward the Crimson Wizard.
"Gordir pays his respects to the great wizard."
"Thank you for your mediation and saving my life, Wizard." At the bow of the ship, an elderly man with gray hair seemed to be too afraid to look down at the Scarlet Wizard. He was lowered from the ship by a rope and hung near the waterline of the merchant ship.
"I am bound by ropes and cannot perform the proper greeting. Please forgive my offense, great wizard."
Whether or not I forgive you is not a matter of a single sentence.
The Scarlet Wizard was arrogant and spoke her mind directly, without any euphemism.
"What cargo are you carrying on your ship?"
"Why are you fighting to the death with the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates?"
"Why is the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates relentlessly pursuing you?"
Just as Godil was about to respond, the Crimson Wizard's voice rang out again.
"Don't even think about lying to a wizard."
"Even if you have deceived me, the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates will still provide an answer."
"The rest of your fleet will have the same answer."
"Or perhaps I could use magic to find the answer directly in your mind?"
As Godil listened to the Scarlet Wizard's words, his heart sank as if he had fallen into an abyss.
"Your Excellency the Wizard." While Godil was pondering, the pirate captain Renwell, who was on the other side, also heard the Scarlet Wizard's curiosity and called out again.
"Among the things they transported, there was something that His Majesty needed."
"His Majesty will be furious if we can't return that item."
"Your Excellency the Wizard, even if you are a wizard, as a part of the Storm Sea, you certainly do not wish to witness His Majesty's wrath," Renwell said, his words laced with threat.
Compared to wizards, he was a "small man".
But ordinary people also have their own wisdom.
Wizards are, of course, noble, mysterious, and powerful—but among the powerful, there is always one that is even more powerful.
Clearly, in this stormy sea, there are rules that prevent these pirates from attacking other wizards' merchant ships, and also prevent the wizards in the stormy sea from attacking these pirates. The wizards who are behind all the pirates are the most powerful beings among the wizards!
His rules are so powerful that even other wizards can be bound by them.
Therefore, even if he was facing another wizard.
But Renwell still chose without hesitation to confront this unfamiliar wizard and defy him.
After all, this unfamiliar wizard might not dare to overstep His Majesty's rules and attack him.
But what he was supposed to take back was not taken back, and His Majesty will surely kill him in the most cruel way.
But clearly, he misjudged the situation.
If Wizard Lescent were still alive, Scarlet Wizard would naturally respect Wizard Lescent's rules.
But the wizard Lessonte was already dead—right before the Scarlet Wizard's eyes, devoured by the Scarlet Wizard's swarm of sharks.
Under such circumstances, why would the Scarlet Wizard care about the rules of the Recent Wizard?
She held up one finger.
His spiritual power surged forth, transforming into an invisible hand that grabbed the pirate captain by the neck and lifted him up.
This is the overwhelming power of a wizard over someone below him.
Renwell, as the captain of the Bloodtooth Shark Pirate Crew, is also a knight who possesses extraordinary power.
Moreover, within the knightly group, he is considered one of the stronger ones—he has already reached the level of a Grand Knight.
However, even a great knight who is close to the limits of mortals can only cry out in vain in the face of the wizard's ability to directly interfere with the mortal world with his mental power.
The wizards' most basic and simplest method of interfering with reality with their mental power was enough to easily take his life—without even using any magic.
This is the power of wizards—a power that beings outside of wizards cannot comprehend at all.
After killing the pirate captain without hesitation, the Crimson Wizard's gaze returned to Godil.
"Now can you tell me what was being transported on the ship?"
Faced with this situation, Godil could only sigh helplessly.
