Chapter 169: Bloody Pirates!
"Pirates."
"Bandits."
"Vagabonds."
"Those Criminals and outcasts hated by those who consider themselves part of civilised society."
"All these people have their uses."
"Whether it is giving soldiers actual combat experience."
"Or serving my interests in some other more dubious way."

Grasping onto the rigging of his flagship, The Iskara, a large war galley, a man with a mix of bronze skin and scales gazed at the five ships large imposing ships approaching him as he gave the order for his captains to engage. A mysterious source, likely a competitor of his victim, had told him that five ships were laden with goods for him to plunder and where to find them. However, when he looked at the ships in question, he cursed slightly because he realised that his job would be far more challenging than he initially expected.
’Those are not ordinary trading ships! They are more like bloody warships! That bloody bastard! He never told me I’d be facing bloody warships and well-equipped men because if he did, he would have never taken this goddamned job!’
The half-Larentine player Plunder Outlaw complained internally, cursing his greed and the information that he was given as it was not trading ships that he had been told about that he faced but more like warships looking eerily similar to the galleons and other vessels that were used in the 1500s and onwards by the Europeans to explore the world and eventually create their vast, powerful empires.
