CHAPTER XVI. Cato 6

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a trick of fate, the Golden Throne was targeted by a pirate ship shortly after it went to sea, and the four heavy warships kept a delicate distance and followed the Golden Throne until nightfall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cato lay worried on the plush blanket, unable to sleep from the overreaction in his stomach and the sight of pirates outside. He couldn't remember the name of the ship's observer, but that didn't stop the thief-eyed guy from keeping an eye on the sea, especially the pirate ship—in fact, he'd spotted the uninvited guests for a long time, but Tracy wasn't afraid of the vultures of the sea.

At about midnight, the roar of artillery suddenly rang out on the calm sea, and huge iron bullets landed around the Golden Throne, causing not only a splash but also a heavy merchant ship to sway from side to side. Cato, who had never been able to sleep, quickly ran to the deck and saw Tracy standing at the bow of the ship shouting, "Wendell, hold up the magic shield!" Francis, the right helm, I want the Golden Throne to face them! Ramos, tell Merlin to prepare the arcane cannon, the one with the iron coffin flag first!"

Following Tracy's orders, the Golden Throne quickly shifted gear, and the gate hidden in the bow slowly opened, revealing a cannon barrel of astonishing size. Cato apparently did not expect that the upper bow compartment separated from the cabin where he was sleeping contained ancient weapons with devastating powers, and he was surprised to speculate about Tracy's insistence on going to Naslone.

"You're just in time, we're going to have a fireworks show!" Tracy called out to Cato as he was stunned under the mast.

"Where did you get the Arcannon?" asked Cato as he was slapped by the waves that swept up the deck, flicking his hair. He climbed into the bow of the ship, gripped the railing beside Tracy, and stared intently at the pirate ship. "Damn it! tell your men to stop! That's a Southern Empire warship, you can't fight!" shouted Cato, who recognized the Radiant Path's battle flag by the glimmer of gunfire, and then the other three warships.

"I know. Tracy's tone became as cold as the sea, and he raised his hand to make a distinctive gesture that the old sailor knew was the order to fire.

"Boom!" a strong arcane stream erupted from under Cato's feet and headed straight for the Iron Maiden, the water evaporating with pure, hot energy in its path and making a "boom-boom-boom" sound, and the Golden Throne retreated far from the waves due to the huge recoil.

The fire of the Southern Empire fleet did not stop there, and after the thick water vapor dissipated, Cato saw that the Radiant Path had a magic shield larger than the Golden Throne, and the purple barrier encompassed the four heavy warships.

"Stop fighting! they're prepared, there must be more secret weapons than you think!" Cato shook Tracy's shoulder, even if he didn't care about Tracy's safety, he didn't want to risk his own life.

"Get out of the way, coward!" Tracy shook off Gatu's arm, turned and drew his sword and yelled at the deck, "Guys, get ready for a white-knuckle fight! Hack a pirate prize bag of spars, and knock over two prize boxes, whoever wants to slaughter the pirate captain, I'll give him the manor on the slope!"

"You're crazy!" Cato tried to stop Tracy again, but was slapped loudly. Tracy glared at him, her eyes red, and she didn't back down.

"The Iron Rooster was fucking sunk by the Iron Maiden! Think of Clarence, man!" Tracy growled.
