"Commander!
"We've encountered the enemy!"
"_"
It didn't take long before Pirus hurriedly stepped out of his room.
He had already been fully dressed before and was just waiting for the ship to reach close to Baymard's shores before he got called... at least that was the plan.
So what did one of his Captain's mean by saying that they have just encountered the enemy?
Had they miscalculated the distance earlier?
Pirus walked out of his room in confusion, while Nicodemus did his best to explain the situation to him.
Sure enough, they had indeed met encountered the enemy... or ragged, the enemy's ships that were transporting people to Carona
But what's this about these transport ships blocking their way?
Well... since the situation didn't go as planned, it was no wonder that his men had to let him, as as to get further instructions.
After all, they couldn't act in such circumstances without his approval no?
Pirus walked down towards the deck and walked upwards again towards another high point that had the steering wheel on it.
And as he walked, the men all moved aside and slightly bowed at him in salute.
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
And while Pirus was trying to make heads or tails on what the real situation was, on the main battleship... the Lieutenant Commander in charge of today's operation calmly flipped a tiny switch that was connected to the main Microphone.
Yup!
He had seen the way the men in the ships below all scrambled around in circles.
So he was just waiting for their leader, or for them to be organized first.
Of course they had just arrived, there weren't many men deck these ships.
But now, one could see that the whole deck was packed to the brim... which was what he expected.
One should know that the Teriquens were indeed taken unawares.
And when they realized that these were Baymardian ships that were blocking their way, their first instinct was to prepare for battle.
So now, several men below deck came out with their swords, while others ran towards the sails as fast as they could.
Because once their leader told them what to do, they would then jump on the ropes attached to the sails so as to send the ship towards the right direction.
.
Additionally, some had formed a straight line from the ship's main steering wheel to a small iron tube on the deck that had a lid on it.
That iron tube was what they used to really instructions to the men below that were paddling.
So once the Commander gave his instructions on what way they were to go, the men would relay that info in a line until it was later passed through the iron pipe.
And when the instructions went down, the men below would lead and ensure that the chained slaves seated were paddling in the right direction.
Again, on deck... some of the men also held out megaphones in preparation to yell out the Commander's orders towards the other ships in the fleet.
The whole process involved strict organization, so earlier on... everyone on these fleets were all getting in position for battle.
That's why Pirus decided to wait until they calmed down or until their leader appeared.
This was Baymard, and just as planned... they were to first give these men a chance to surrender.
Because like it or not, some of these men had families, children, wives and even sick parents to take care of.
They weren't some sort of heartless beasts, who could kill just like tht.
Just because they had the advantage, didn't mean that they should just murder these people without at least giving them a chance or time to even become battle-ready.
That would just be too cold.
Because even in these times, empires and knights still gave regions a chance to surrender before they made their kill.
Unless they were too few, or at a disadvantage, they would never attack anyone without giving them an opportunity to live.
It was better to be locked up and freed later on, than to die.
Because once you were gone, you would never be coming back... and you would never know what would happen to your children or family after you're gone.
That was why even their battle plan today still involved taking prisoners.
A massacre was something that was never intended for today's battle.
Plus, they only had a limited time to clear up all the damaged ships and floating objects on the water's surface.
So who wants more work?
.
Lieutenant Commander Severus flipped the main Microphone switch and brought his mouth closer to the microphone.
"This is Baymard's Navy.
Surrender now and we can guarantee your safety."
"^"
The moment those words were echoed out Pirus squinted his eyes at the middle ship before him.
He had so many questions which were basically questioning whether it was just a coincidence that they had come.
But thinking about it gin, he felt like it was indeed a coincidence.
Because no one had known about their invasion plan.
And even those coming to Baymard had branched away from the shock of seeing their fleet.
Additionally, some of the pirates who they had seen last time... had also come to visit Baymard and were sure that the peaceful empire didn't know the incoming storm that they were bringing.
Again, they had had another secret spy in Baymard who confirmed the matter to them.
So, without a doubt... they had met here by accident.
And that meant that they had more warriors than these Baymardians.
Pirus was sure that a majority of the people on board those ships were just visitors, while a few were cleaners, books and a few guards here or there.
So what was there to be afraid of?
For him, they were just trying to intimidate him with the size of their ships while doing their best to drive him away from Baymard.
Which was reasonable, since he too would probably feign arrogance if he were in their shoes too.
In short, they talked as if they were battle-ready... but in truth, they should be anxious about the storm he was bringing.
Now.. the only issue was whether they should waste their strength here rather than going towards Baymard's shores?
Plus, he had heard of soldiers, police officers and Coast guards... even though he didn't know what they did since everything about them was vague.
But he had never heard of Baymard's Navy.
So at this point, he was sure that they were just making things up.
Pirus sneered as he listened to their arrogant words.
Want him to surrender?
No way in Hell!
