16-30 Garleon Union (6)

Satou here It feels like there's only a few chances for intelligences and subversive actions to carry uess it's really because flowers in the battlefield have to be the clashes of troops, after all?

"Lots ot injured than I expected"

The second warship that suffered an attack from the pirate ship had 4 dead and 17 wounded

The entire fleet likely would have faced a total destruction had they received the full brunt of the accouy's Zaht Zaed before the admiral

The majority of the dead and the wounded were by the hands of Zalances from the sailors were concentrated on him

"Die"

"--Wha"

I blocked the admiral's sword, who suddenly tried to cut down Zamud, with the fairy sword still in its sheath

I don't et executed, but please don't suddenly hold a violent show right in front of ?"

"My subordinates were the ones who captured theht them back to Garleok City and received the bounty"

"Gununu--"

Thanks to the slight aid of Coercion skill that I used to stop the violent show, I succeeded shutting down the ad the wounded and stay on guard of the ene like execution"

"Treatment is already underait, ene us was likely to deal serious dae to our fleet with the tamed monsters' surprise attack Therefore, normally you'd think that the main force will follow after to assault Garleok City, wouldn't you?"

"O-of course! You don't need to tellthat, the adicians to search around

Looks like they're going to use Mana Furnace this ti to prepare to tow the pirates"

I've gathered all the captured pirates including pirate captain and the skeleton knight on the captured pirate ship to be towed back to Garleok City with our airship

Of course, I'll be splitting the bounty to the adation fleet

I plan to have theic to prevent theic cannot be undone without the user's approval or without using forcecri out of your way for mere pirates"

The adreed to it, thus I thoroughly ignore hi the wounded on the second ship?"

"That's good enough Go fix 'em yourself if yer' so curious"

The admiral who had an irritated look on his face waved his hand like he's shooing away a dog

Well, since I've gotten the peret to the next ship

"Noble-sama, do you have any business on this ship?"

The second warship's captain saw me and threw a question

"I happened to saw that you were done with the treatment for the wounded, I came here to ascertain the situation"

"Yeah--we've stopped the bleeding The folks that bled too much aren't usable in battle, but they should be able tothey eat"

No, not that

The captain had a pained look when he saw icians and doctors cannot heal li theuys don't have theGarleon Teic potion or elixirs to heal lians with advanced holy ic can only restore endpoint parts like fingers and such

Though it's possible to heal it with evensince the limb has been cut and the cut limb remains

"Then, do you lad to But, will your excellency himself do it?"

"No, one of ic, you see"

I looked up at the flying airship in the sky as I said that

"We can't offer much as a reward, but if you could, would you please heal theirls to board this ship"

The captain hesitated only for an instant, and iave his permission to allooic and called the airship to float besides the second warship

"Wound"

"Everybody, please wash the stump and attach the cut limb on it"

I translate Mia-sensei's word and indirectly help with the treatment

"■■■■ Life Water (Recovery Life)"

Mia-sensei's ic restores the sailors' limbs

For two sailors whose stuic Hand] and applied high potion on the wounds

"Ooo, I cancan move too!"

"My arm too!"

"My knee doesn't hurt anyician-saic showed its effect, the sailors cheered out loud and grandly thanked Mia

"Satou"

Mia as frightened by the or hid behind me

"Gahahaha, ya fools went and scared her with yer' faces"

The sailors heartily laughed when they saw that

Mia seemed miffed, but she showed her me usual smile when I poked on her puffed out cheeks

Now that we're done with the treatment on this ship, let's ask Mia and the others to pretend transporting the pirate ship with our airship

We wouldn't make it in ti the to let the pirate ship float on a sea of a sub-diht wind of what appeared to be ship silhouettes, at two o'clock, distance 9000 Their nuether to search the area gave their findings

Froroups with 20 ships each--but looking again, two of the 20 ship fleets areto encircle us froicians found, every two ships are connected by rope It's probably to disguise them as one ship

"9000 at two o'clock, that's around Seaweed Archipelago huh That's troublesome"

The admiralto o is a perilous place where lots of reef and seaweed type monsters lurk around

Add to the fact that there's a lot of s spots

In fact, pirate-lookingon several of those islands

"Wait a bit and use the search ain Find out their direction and speed Comm officer, tell every ship to let half of the ship take a rest and have a light athered each captains of the warships

He's probably going to brief theroups"

The ad at the sea chart

"Ad us to go with full fleet"

The admiral who perceived my advice candidly refused it and went to speak out his plan

"It'd be bad if the pirates went into hiding in the Seaweed Archipelago once they sensed their disadvantage We'll split our escort ships into two fleets One of the escort fleet will go north froo The second escort fleet will go south froonna ship fleet will have 13 ships, and each of the two support fleets will have 6 The flagship fleet er because it's the one fighting on the front line

Maybe that's why none of the escort ship captains tried to refute hiicians found, the admiral's plan wouldn't be half-bad

However--

"Aderous if they have monsters like the Kraken earlier with theuarantee that the enemy fleet really only has 10 ships"

"H the plan We'll just adapt to the situations on the spot if the enemy fleet has Kraken with them"

Adapt to the situations Without a concrete plan, isn't that practically just throwing ht suffice if their forces consist of only pirates, but if the two support fleets were to encounter a Kraken--"

"There is only one Kraken; the one earlier"

The adround for your assertion?"

"Of course"

In fact, there are two Krakens next to the fake Skeleton Archduke's ship, with 50 Torpedo Squids not too far

"If those guys have the mean to control multiple Krakens, they would have attacked Garleok City and Garleon Union's southern port a long tiht when I was going to say that, one of the sailors carrying a ladle climbed the stairs and shouted

"Ad!"

The admirals shouted at the sailor

"Our barrels of food have rotted! In addition, all of the barrels filled with drinking water have holes on them!"

This must be the work of spies the pirates sent

I had noticed theht earlier, but I purposely overlooked theain a little credit

"It appears to have been Rot Poison"

I've gone to look at the barrels with the admiral

Wine barrels are fortunately safe, but we can't exactly get wasted before a fight, even if it can provide awater fro as we have water icians' mana will be used to preserve our lifeline instead for battle

"Get the other ships to share their portion--wait, what about the other ships?"

Looks like the admiral finally realized the possibility
