Stunning Edge

Chapter 95

Chapter 95-

But today, an urgent alarm bell ended the boat’s tranquility.

It wasn’t a storm coming, but pirates!

“Enemy attack!”

“Prepare!”

“Stand guard!”

The alarm bell sounded urgently, and there were a string of loud footsteps on deck. Nevertheless, they were orderly.

These experienced sailors weren’t just seamen, but soldiers of the empire!

Before Claire and the rest did anything, there were already orderly rows of armed people on deck.

Claire stood up and walked to the edge of the ship next to the captain and asked the captain solemnly, “Captain, how is the situation?”

The captain set down the binoculars he was holding, saying seriously, “Commander White, it might be a little troublesome this time. It’s the Red Skull pirates.”

“Oh?” Claire looked up and concentrated, seeing a few large ships currently approaching rapidly from afar. Each ship’s mast had a black insignia, a sinister red skull embroidered within the insignia.

“Red Skull pirates, appear and disappear unpredictably, whenever they chance upon a caravan, they will definitely steal everything. All men are killed and all the women are sold as slaves. The empire has sent out many military campaigns, but they have all failed, because the pirates are the best at reading the weather at sea and hiding.” Camille also appeared, gracefully brushing his bangs, showing off how smart he was. “Last year, the empire sent twenty warships, but eight of them were sunk, seven were inflicted with heavy losses, while only one of the Red Skull ships were lightly hit.”

The captain’s expression was becoming unsightly. The golden haired blue eyed man’s tone was gentle, but the words he said were menacing and to the point. The empire was truly unable to handle the pirates because their captain was an exceptionally powerful magician. Every time they fought, the empire lost.

“Oh…” Claire seemed to be thinking as she saw that the people ahead were truly unordinary. Then, should they make their move earlier?

“Duck and cover, prepare to shoot!” the captain ordered. All the sailors found a place for cover and aimed their bow and arrow ahead.

“Commander White, please find a place for cover too. They are also formidable archers,” the captain explained seriously.

Claire nodded and indicated for everyone to hide. She wanted to see how capable they were fighting against the empire’s soldiers.

“Whoosh…” a long, drawn out sound flew through the sky, a sharp arrow piercing the deck.

They had already started attacking.

Claire was close behind the staircase as she slowly retrieved her bow, also shooting.

The magic flame arrow Claire shot instantly exploded on the other boat. They lost their composure for a moment but then calmed down.

Because they were completely unimpressed by Claire’s accuracy. The flame arrow’s eruption barely had an effect, weak in power and they had magicians defending, so it was not a threat at all.  

“Commander, you’re not skilled enough as an archer.” Camille was standing beside Claire, holding a teapot. He elegantly poured the tea until the teacup was full and handed it to Claire. “Here, Commander, taste the rugosa rose tea that I made specially for you.”

Claire’s mouth twitched. Indeed, her accuracy was depression. Even shooting a couple of arrows didn’t seem to cause any harm to them at all.

Claire tooked the cup from Camille gloomily, finishing it in one gulp. Just when she turned to return the cup to Camille, she saw Qiao Chuxin coldly drawing the bow. Currently, there was no warmth in her eyes as she took aim and released the arrow!
