Chapter 677: Swords Clash 1

“Wh-what the hell happened there?!”

Fernando, who was leading the fleet that was bypassing Gregg Island, opened his eyes wide when he saw the flames shine bright over the reef.

It was nothing that couldn’t be guessed. He thought that the pirate fleet ended up wiping out the Symphonia Navy.

However, the pirate fleet was firing up signals in the dark night sky calling for help, and the pirate lords aboard the ship sent in urgent help request from the magic communication devices.

“It looks like the enemy’s main unit has ambushed us in the reef.”

“How could that be?!”

The Grenada Kingdom was proudest for having the strongest navy troops.

Even though they were a pirate fleet, for them to break down to the extent of asking for assistance..!

“I must save my allies right away… Damn it, but that can’t be done!”

Even though Fernando was ignorant about the matters of navy battles, he knew very well what would happen if he went into that dark reef at night.

“This is horrible, but we might have to think about giving up on the pirate fleet.”

“Right, we can’t do much.”

At the words of Duke Nathan, Fernando seemed disappointed but didn’t cross his words.

It was a pity that the pirates couldn’t be used for land battles as scapegoats during the landing, but he thought that it was a great opportunity as the pirate lords were being killed.

In the Grenada Kingdom, the pirates weren’t a group that listened to the words of the king.

‘Thanks to the Symphonia men, my rule might end up strengthen even more after the war.’

While Fernando was in his thoughts, Duke Nathan spoke, “Our fleet must continue sailing and attack the coastal area of the Symphonia.”

“With the enemy fleet right behind us? Then what if we get attacked from the rear?”

“Their current fleet alone isn’t enough to stop us.”

Even if the transport fleet and 300 sailing ships were removed, there were around 700 battleships.

Among them, ships with strong combat power and battleships were with the troops.

But Fernando’s thoughts were different.

“I thought that those who ran away from us a while ago would get wiped out by the pirate fleet alone. But the reality turned out different from my expectations.”

“That was…”

“If we retire back like this, they will rage a lot and run wilder. We should think about the morale of our men. We need to destroy them and move forward.”

For a second, Nathan nodded at Fernando’s words.
