Chapter 255: At the Princess’s Request (5)
Inside the cabin, the princess pointed at the map and spoke.
“So if that child sinks all the ships in the middle of the night, I’m supposed to join forces with the Lord of Bukgeon and block off the port the pirates use, then launch the landing operation, right?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Then, just like before, the Bunran pirates will flee to the mountains, and the Dragon Fangs and the young master, who will be waiting in the forest between the beach and the mountains, will wipe them out all at once?”
“That’s correct.”
Our plan was for the Dragon Fangs and me to secretly land and set traps behind the pirates, lying in wait.
Up until now, whenever we tried to suppress the harbor, the ships would flee to the open sea, and the pirates would scatter into the mountains, leaving no results. This time, the plan was to wait behind them and sweep them all up as they ran.
“But will you be alright? If they have twenty ships, that means there must be at least five hundred pirates, right?”
The princess asked again with a worried expression after hearing the strategy I came up with.
She was asking if I and the kids could really handle five hundred pirates—but they were the same kids who had taken down two hundred Blood Cult elites. Five hundred pirates wouldn’t even be a warm-up.
Sure, the Golden-Furred Wasp Kings weren’t with us right now, but we had Cheongwol, and with the swarm on the island, we could compensate well enough. There was no need to worry too much.
Besides, among those five hundred pirates, only a handful actually practiced martial arts. According to Jin-gyu, the former Strangling Lust Demon who had now become a junior officer, there was only one with notably high-level martial skills.
