In front of them, the slowly approaching fleet began to adjust their formation and sail side by side.
At the same time, they fired a threatening cannon at Eight-cloud Ink's ship.
"Boom!!!"
The cannonball disappeared into the clouds.
Then, the ship at the front raised a four-color flag signal.
"It's an order to stop the ship, Captain!"
The crew on the mast yelled.
The captain lowered his head in pain.
Although the passenger ship was armed, the three mobile cannons were completely unable to contend against the enemy's fleet.
Moreover, the cannons were temporarily installed because of the recent unrest in Albion. Most of the sailors on the ship had not used them.
At the same time, a wave of magic fluctuation came.
Obviously, the enemy had cast magic on the ship's path. If they continued to move forward, the ship would definitely be destroyed and the people would die.
"Stop the ship …"
Varudo walked to the captain's room and said coldly to the captain.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes flickered. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"We're going bankrupt …"
The captain wailed and gave the order to stop the ship, "Raise the sails and stop the ship."
After saying that, the captain collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
The fleet saw the passenger ship stop and immediately began to speed up.
"We're space pirates! Don't resist! "
On the black ship at the front, a man with a megaphone shouted.
"Space pirates?"
Eight-cloud Ink frowned.
Louise immediately explained, "They're the thieves active on the border of Albion."
"Mq, so that's how it is … Space pirates? Then there's no need to hold back. "
Patrice gently closed the Grimoire and smiled.
"Well, to deal with these guys, just throw a Rune Card at them."
Eight-cloud Ink crossed her arms and laughed.
Louise's eyes lit up. She immediately took out the Rune Card given to her by Eight-cloud Ink and said excitedly, "Yakumo Yakumo! Let me do it, okay? Okay? "
"Girl, you don't know how to control your strength. What if you accidentally smash your own ship?"
Eight-cloud Ink patted Louise's head in amusement, making the little girl pout in dissatisfaction.
Shesta, who ran to the deck because of the arrival of the space pirates, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
In the opinion of the little maid, she might not be able to defeat Aniis or Varudo, but she should have no problem dealing with the space pirates, right?
Therefore, Shesta wasn't as afraid as ordinary civilians when encountering space pirates.
There was even a faint eagerness to give it a try, hoping to rush up and have a good fight after the space pirates and their ship met.
[Did I accidentally train a combat maid out of the (mythical beast)?]
Eight-cloud Ink murmured in its heart.
Seeing Eight-cloud Ink and the others chatting and laughing on the deck, Waludo walked over with a frown.
"Louise, my dear, Mr. Yakumo, Ms. Noreki, are you planning to attack?"
"Can't I?"
Louise asked over her shoulder.
The little girl unconsciously frowned at Waludo's affectionate way of addressing her.
Waludo originally wanted to stop them, but on second thought, this was a good opportunity to observe the strength of Eight-cloud Ink and the others, so he gave up his original plan.
Seeing Louise being suppressed by Yakumo, the corner of Patrice's lips curled into a smile as she slowly floated up.
With a flip of her right wrist, a rune card appeared in her hand.
"You guys —"
Looking up at the space pirate fleet in front of her, Patrice used magic to let her voice be clearly transmitted to the other party's ears.
"— Give up resistance and stand obediently!"
"… Huh?"
Not long after, mocking laughter came from the other side.
"That magician told us to stand still, okay?"
"Is there something wrong with her head?"
"We have so many cannons here!"
"Hahahaha …"
"233333 …"
"Red, fiery, and dazzling …"
Sound-amplifying magic was the most basic magic, plus there was no magic fluctuation when Patrice used the rune card, so the space pirates didn't pay enough attention to Patrice's warning.
Then, tragedy struck.
Patrice lightly snorted, a hexagram magic circle appeared behind her, and at the same time, she elegantly threw out the rune card in her hand.
"Fire Rune" Agni Shine "(Light of the Fire God)!"
The rune card exploded.
A vortex of flame suddenly appeared.
The flame bullets spun in a certain pattern, like a moving vortex, and shot towards the space pirate fleet.
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
Standing on the deck, Louise's little face lit up as she looked at the beautiful bullet screen.
"So beautiful! If only I could make rune cards! "
"You want to learn?" Eight-cloud Ink looked down at Louise, "I'll teach you!"
"Yakumo is so good!"
Louise happily hugged Yakumo's arm, causing Varudo's eyes to twitch as he watched from behind.
Unlike Eight-cloud Ink, the space pirate fleet facing Patrice's rune card panicked and prepared to resist the bullet screen that suddenly appeared.
The mages on the fleet began to jointly cast a shield, and at the same time, the ship began to adjust its direction and fired.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
This time, it was no longer a threatening warning, but a volley of fire from the enemy fleet.
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly thought of the classic sentence of their ship girl, King Kong, "I'm King Kong De Su! All cannons, fire!!! "
The word "fire" could be twisted into a very strange pronunciation by King Kong with her unique Japanese English.
In any case, Eight-cloud Ink couldn't understand it.
Although he was thinking about these trivial things, Eight-cloud Ink's hands were not idle.
He didn't seem to have done anything, but the cannonball flying towards the passenger ship suddenly changed its direction without any warning. It completely violated the laws of physics, and its speed was enough to make Newton cry and faint in the toilet. It smashed towards the direction it came from.
As a result, the space pirate fleet was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
At least a third of the warships were destroyed.
"Sigh, only a third of the warships were destroyed after a volley of fire. The power of these cannons is too weak …"
Eight-cloud Ink snorted.
"Wah!!!"
Unlike Eight-cloud Ink, Louisa and Shasta cried out in astonishment.
"Yakuma-san …"
"Yakuma-san, how did you do it?!"
[It's just a distortion of the cannonballs' forward and reverse directions.]
With that in mind, Yakumo said, "Well, Louise, all you have to do now is stand at the front of the ship and shout, 'This road is open to all!' You can do that too!"
"Eh? Really? "
Louisa blinked her watery eyes and raised her head suspiciously.
"I'm not well-educated, don't lie to me."
"A real man, a real man …"
While the few of them were fooling around, Patrice's barrage also dealt heavy damage to the enemy fleet. This time, the space pirate fleet had completely lost their ability to fight.
Seeing Patrice slowly landing on the deck, Eight-cloud Ink laughed.
"As expected of Patrice Go!"
"Boom!!"
The furious Patrice viciously threw the magic book in her hand and smashed it on Eight-cloud Ink's forehead.
"Don't log on to Bilibili anymore! If this goes on, you'll be the same as that damned otaku from Forever Pavilion!! "
[Do you really think Patrice won't log on to Bilibili?]
This was Eight-cloud Ink's thought when he was smashed by the magic book.
